This Also Explains Most of Obama’s Talking

Posted by on

Ezra Klein (I don’t know him either… some goofy liberal) tweeted this bit of nothing:

Ace, from Ace of Spades HQ [High Praise!], asked himself why Klein would take the time to say nothing, and then answered his own question [link contains NSFW language]:

That is what drives me crazy about modern discourse. So little of it is actually designed to advance a proposition. So much of it is designed to advance The Speaker.

Modern speech is insanely “performative.” Modern speech is marked not by its focus on the statement itself but on the act of making the statement, and how that act (allegedly) credits the speaker.

Basically, liberals don’t care what they say, they just want to be seen saying it.

Random Thoughts: Clamshell and Swords

Posted by on

Man, I want to finally see Guardians of the Galaxy. Trying to decide if I $20 want to see it or can wait to rent next Tuesday.

I try to save my outrage for things like mass slaughter, but I tend to use it up on clamshell packaging.

Maybe you’re under constant threat because you’re a jerk who hangs swords over people’s heads, Dionysius.
