Factose Intolerant, indeed!

“The lack of awareness would be unfathomable, but for a possible explanation suggested by an acquaintance. Revealed and plumbed in depth by Thomas Sowell in his “A Conflict of Visions,” it is an “unconstrained” view of possibility. As another acquaintance noted, the Left doesn’t seem to put much stock in consequences, moral hazard, or “stubborn facts.” If we consider that the Queers for Palestine and the like-minded believe that an unrestricted nation named Palestine would create peace, happiness, and help move the culture toward Western progressive values, we can come to understand how they might think as they do.”

This is well stated. Thank you for explaining this cognitive dissonance.

Love your irony, Peter, as we all know the knights at the high table of wokedom cannot be white! Suggest the alternative spelling “wokedumb”... but then I repeat myself.

Sometimes, one must step back to discover the intersections of absurdity and truth. You've succeeded masterfully. And thanks for coining "factose intolerant". Priceless.

Thanks. However, I cannot take credit for "factose intolerant." Urban Dictionary dates it to at least 2008.
