I have only seen a few pieces not relating to Jo Cox and they pretty much fall in line: 9 out of 10 experts agree that Brexit is bad for your health.<br /><br />I posted about it here:<br />https://alaska3636.blogspot.com/2016/06/expertise-is-overated-on-average.html<br /><br />My thoughts? I think rising (Western European) nationalism makes the progressive media uncomfortable. They know which side their bread is buttered on but, they have an inkling that the butter is coming from people who've had enough progressivism. So the logic of the Overton Window elides a need to make longer and longer logical leaps. <br /><br />Which appears stupid to people like us.Alaska3636https://www.blogger.com/profile/13251275012030359766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-14345564610968831002016-06-21T20:51:42.026-07:002016-06-21T20:51:42.026-07:00American football: vulgar, but no riots.

BM, BM, this is America. We speak American here.

It's essentially a straw man tactic; if the isolated act of a terrorist is tied back to some greater (false) narrative about a growing global terrorism movement, then they can create an "enemy" so big and scary that only the large-scale effort of a powerful nation (or group of nations) can possibly fight it. ISIS is not an existential threat, nor is it a highly coordinated and stable organization; but to make it appear so justifies the U.S. government's effort to centralize power and fuel the military-industrial complex.<br /><br />We have already begun to see our personal liberties being sacrificed (through surveillance, TSA, etc.) by a protectionist State for the sake of "national security" and "the greater good." But in a free and just society there is no "greater good." There is only individuals seeking their individual good through peaceful cooperation and commerce with other self-interested individuals. If Western society had operated under this principle for the last six decades, you could make a good case that ISIS wouldn't exist today. Or if they did, they wouldn't be attacking us.C.
