All (not) good - the arrival of "collective man"
Sometime this weekend, print out and read David Solway's The Death of the Individual. I need to thank Execupundit for the link to this essay.
Solway nails the sad transformation underway and aptly describes the movement's leaders:
These theorists are for the most part (there are notable exceptions) professional parasites supported by the state or the university who have scarcely done a day’s real work, started or been part of a business, or advanced national prosperity and well-being in any meaningful way. They tend to live in a subsidized bubble. Many of these credentialed freeloaders and trimmers, as we are ruefully aware, have found their way into the current American administration where they inflict immense damage and then retire into well-upholstered sinecures. For when it comes to the cynics, there’s no cure like a sinecure.
Well worth your time.
