Good Morning Digital Neighbors! Hello again ADD Irregulars and all Visitors and Vagabonds to the WSN that is this little cul-de-sac in the internet. MOAR Oxymoronica for your Thursday exploring!

He has delusions of adequacy. - Walter Kerr, on a contemporary actor

The chorus did everything to perfection except to sing. - George Bernard Shaw, in an 1889 Review

A sweetly vicious old lady. - Tennessee Williams, on Truman Capote

It is always fun to listen to others engage in some trash talking. I guess the question is how much and directed at who? Good humor dances on the blade between humorously exposing the absurd & hypocritical and inciting rage and riot. How many people possess no sense of humor, I think Scott Adams believes it may be as much as a a quarter or third of humanity might be truly humorous. How many more have joined the ranks for the humorless because they are filled with self-righteous pretensions?

Self-righteous pretensions used to be the sole property of the overly religious for centuries. With the rise of massive political movements since the French Revolution and the advent of Marxism now anyone can be a self-righteous dolt. I feel I have lived long enough to see the LEFT grab that ball of religiosity and make up for centuries of lost time. Extremists of any kind are a menace to the community that fails to marginalize and quarantine them to the outskirts of social engagement. That WOKE, CRT and other humorless philosophies have flowed out of Academia and taken root in the repeat cycle of so many thoughts is alarming. One used to be able to use humor against such absurdities, and one of the successes of the WOKENSTIENS and CRT aficionados has been to suffocate humor within their own ranks and to try and limit in the culture as a whole.

I am sure there are still plenty of self-righteous on the RIGHT, but they are marginalized, quarantined and often sufficiently mocked. For our thought controllers in the Enemedia, finding one example of a nut-bag on the Right is indicative of the an underground movement of millions. I still remember the days of hunting for gun-toting Tea Parties who were waiting to shoot up the Nation.

That is why there is such outrage among the WOKENSTIENS against Libs of Tic-Toc which just lets the nuttery of the LEFT speak for itself. While the nut-bags on the Right are currently few, there is copious evidence for the virus of "higher education" infecting countless people in the cultural Cabal. Well enough ranting, back to laughing, it is far better for your mind, heart and relationships to be a person of humor and not a person of offense. Happy Thursday my friends!
