Now is a strange time to be reading Horowitz's autobiography because everything he describes about 1968-1975 is happening right now. Unhinged liberals obsessed with a foreign conflict they don't understand or really care about, occupying campuses and dreaming of "liberated zones" around the country where they would be able to run free. Guilty Jews, lionizing black criminals to expiate their "white skin privilege." Excusing atrocities overseas by advancing a claim that the US is guilty of worse atrocities. This is disturbing because it means that the exact same ideas expressed in an almost identical way have dominated the intellectual space in this country for half a century. I didn't really know how identical it all was. If people were bashing each other's heads on campuses over "white privilege" 50 years ago and they are doing it now, this is evidence of a complete intellectual stalemate. This is not good news. I'll have a lot more to say about the book but I'm only at 37% at the moment. Sincere thanks to whoever recommended. I have the best readers. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
