For all their talk of "peace," you never hear RFK Jr., Cornel West or the Trumps of the world talk about nonviolent ways we could pressure Russia to end the war.

Instead, it's all talk of disarming Ukraine and ceding land to the aggressor. I argue that tells us something about their sympathies.

@charliearchy As a kind of natural "leftist" myself, this is the thing that alienates me from the left: they always attack the sympathetic, because their only weapon is guilt-tripping, and they know good and well that it doesn't work on the actually villainous.

So they concentrate their efforts on people who can be reached on ethical and compassionate grounds. The trouble is, those people aren't, by the remotest stretch of the imagination, the problem; and what they're doing is basically cannibalism.
