    Another sign of secularization: Even those who call themselves religious talk less about God. Religions are becoming tribal & political, not creeds about the supernatural.

    I'm disturbed and disgusted by last night's attacks involving the so-called "Proud Boys." Hate has no place in New York. This warrants immediate and thorough investigation by the NYPD to bring the perpetrators to justice. Anyone with information should call 1-800-577-TIPS.

    “No one wants to be left out. The iso­la­tion we felt at the edge of the cafe­te­ria causes every­one to yearn for a group. Political ide­ol­ogy is a thin ba­sis for connection, but at least cable news tribes of­fer the com­mon experience of get­ting to hate peo­ple to­gether...”

    Linda Gottfredson, an expert on occupational interests and intelligence, is the latest disinvited speaker. (She's also on a McCarthyite list of "extremists" by the Southern Poverty Law Ctr, once a respected civil rights org., now aggressively illiberal.)

    Reports say NYPD have arrested 3 people in connection w/ the violent attacks by Proud Boys on anti-racist protestors in NYC tonight. But the 3 people are anti-racist protestors NOT Proud Boys.

    The Proud Boys even waited to do a group photo after the fights. They were hyped the fuck up after that. Flashing their white power hand symbol before marching towards a downtown train.
