Identity politics has corroded the humanity of the elites.


Is silence still violence? If it is, then a whole lot of people, from the Hollywood set to the virtue-signalling left, are guilty of some serious violence right now. Their silence on the Waukesha massacre, on the slaughter of six innocents by a man wielding his SUV as a deadly weapon, is deafening. More than that, it is sinister. Dancing grannies, an eight-year-old boy, people singing and cheering at a Christmas parade, all mown down. Six killed, 62 injured, in what police are treating as a suspected act of intentional homicide. That is, mass murder. And yet there’s been nothing from Hollywood stars who normally love to hold forth on terrible acts of violence. Influencers seem to have been struck dumb. There are no blacked-out squares on Instagram. The big woke corporations aren’t pumping out pained, concerned press releases. It’s just tumbleweed, everywhere.

If it were done with a gun they could push for gun control. But since it was done with an SUV, and they all drive fancy SUV's, what can they say?

The most cynical response was that of the Milwaukee police department who immediately assured us that this wasn't a terrorist attack, which by implication meant radical Islamic terrorist attack. In fact they didn't fear or even consider such an attack as the cement barriers that were widely placed to protect such street events after the spate of these attacks were not used. Easily breached privacy barriers were used instead.

One wonders if the cement barriers were not used so as not to offend Milwaukee's Islamic community. That would be the height of cynicism.

I have seen 3 reports from mainstream media that literally stated "a car drove through a crowd of people" ...
Not wanting to fixate on the driver, his background,and intentions, they blame it on the car.
That is like saying a gun killed JFK ...both the gun and the car were instruments used to perform the act of killing.... by a person.
