Where I, Ron, blog on a variety of different subjects--social theoretical, historical, cultural, political, social ethical, the media, and so on (I got the Max Weber, the Mark Twain, and the Stephen Leacock in me)--in a sometimes Niebuhrian or ironic way all with an attitude. Enjoy. Disagree. Be very afraid particularly if you have a socially and culturally constructed irrational fear of anything over 140 characters.

The Eternal Whinging of the Right Wing Mind...
I see right wingers like Teddy Boy Cruz and Josh Silver Spoon Hawley are doing what they do best again, whinging and
whining. This time they are whinging about social media's attempt to
separate the truthful wheat from the bullshit chaff. What makes this
whining ludicrous, of course, is the fact that Facebook, to take one
social media example, is full of right wing chaff. I used to get that
bullshite all the time until I used the hide ad mode to stop it. This is, of course, not the point of this right
wing whinging, however. Right wing demagogues know that emotional
whining works. It allows them to manipulate their equally rageoholic and
equally deluded demographic who are hallucinating their way toward the
apocalypse.
