LL> --Lee What we are seeing in the USA is the emergence of a new, totalitarian belief system, disguisnig itself as being for justice. IT is a time old pattern, where the new moral order proclaims itself as being for justice, fairness, while it bullies people into submission. Cancel culture is the most evident manifestation of this insidious ideology. Rioting is not protesting, I agree, but Biden's missing the point here. They are NOT trying to protest. They are trying to exercise power over others. The Democrats will never admit this, because too many in the party (perhaps not Biden, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt), don't have an issue with this new emerging cultural fascism. This isn't about George Floyd. This is about an ideology that has been percolating for years, and is now seizing this opportunity to suppress and bully. ....
