Amen.
Don’t worry, when the destroyers fail it will be Someone Else’s Fault then, too. So they’ll kill that witch– taking their stuff as payment, of course– until that fails, too, at which point they look for the next witch.
“Witch burning” made a lot more sense when I found out that, historically, people were usually pissed at the Catholic Church for stopping it.
“That person wronged me, I should be allowed to kill them and take their stuff” is apparently very popular in the human design. (Original Sin edition, I’d bet.)
As usual, the man is 100% correct— which is why those news organizations that make a show of their supposed love of ‘diversity’ will never have him on. Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.
Foxfier, Truth. The Inquisitions of the Middle Ages were widely supported by the people and petty nobility for reasons of conservatism; profiting on forfeitures of denounced heretics; and settling of ‘scores.’
A review of the policies and practices of the ancient Inquisition reveal they are similar, except for the rack, to those of post-modern liberals. .
T. Shaw– which is why the Inquisition under the Church got started, because an awful lot of the folks declared “heretics” weren’t, and there was the “minor” issue of various nobility enforcing heresy….
The Inquisition ‘invented’ the idea of evidence at trial, for heaven’s sake.
Foxfier, now that you mention Original Sin, to me the behavior of Adam and Eve, taking something that did not belong to them, makes them the world’s first looters. When you look at the behavior of Cain he comes across as totally self-centered and self-obsessed. He did cancel his brother Abel. To me he was the world’s first snowflake. None of them showed any contrition or repentance for their actions.
