Who made your kid irredeemably obnoxious? Well, you did \u2013 but Uncle Sam provided both the noxious vocabulary and the inescapable intellectual straight-jacket.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of &#8216;narrative&#8217; is essential to the modern way of (none-dare-call-it-)thinking: The truth is what we say it is \u2013 or what the powerful say it is, or what we can make the powerful say it is with the right combination of flattery and torture. If I&#8217;m getting it all wrong, fear you nothing: There is no way to get it right except to swallow it whole with no objections \u2013 none, ever \u2013 by donning that straight-jacket yourself.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s wrong with the &#8216;narrative&#8217; idea?

All of Marxism is a cargo cult: By stealing this wealth, I will also have stolen the attributes of character that created the wealth. Marxism is patricide-by-proxy, but the underlying crazy might be a sort of imagined post-mortem summing up, son-to-father: The triumph of vice over virtue at last!<\/p>\n<p>If you watch for it, you&#8217;ll see that kind of snickering among all sorts of screw-ups, most notably Sleazy Joe himself: He gets off on getting away with things. That&#8217;s the reason for all of the very public child-molestation, too.<\/p>\n<p>But now China Joe has his nuts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloodhoundrealty.com\/BloodhoundBlog\/18426\/overnight-news-narrative-is-just-another-word-for-a-cargo-cult-and-sadly-for-fiasco-joe-crowns-do-not-make-kings\/#more-18426\" class=\"more-link\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cToo many so-called leaders are just good at getting\u00a0lost.\u201dIn the years immediately after World War II, the United States imported scads of German intellectuals.
