Then there are the shopkeeper-type conservatives, who think the culture wars are all a silly hoo-ha about pronouns, toilet usage, dramas about Cleopatra and the Royal Family as seen on TV. They scold that we should be properly concerned with material materials: the cost of living, inflation, mortgage payments, industrial disputes, the future of the Conservative party. Both conclusions, from the complacent left and bean-counting right, are based on misapprehensions. They derive from a double falsehood. The culture wars are really taking place, whether the left likes or not. And the culture wars are a bread-and-butter issue, whether the right likes or not.

#IRLActorDickVanDyke ^[Wikipedia] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExDiUrNygDU ^[blog] #1964_ #IRLActivistMartinLutherKingMLK #IRLScreenwriterRodSerling "A Most Non-Political Speech (The following speech, written by Rod Serling, was delivered by Dick Van Dyke in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on May 31 as part of a Religious Witness for Human Dignity.) Ladies and gentlemen, this may be the most non-political speech you ever hear. And, indeed, if you look for controversy, what I'm about to say conjures up little conflict. We have reached a moment in time when restless men, dispossessed men, angry and impatient men, and anguished men look up and reach out for an elusive justice oft promised them, long denied them, but in the eyes of God and man's conscience is their due and should be their expectation. I say this is non-political and non-controversial. We're not talking now about miscegenation. Or whether a man can fence his yard. Or a hotdog vendor carefully select his customer. Or an innkeeper choose not to accommodate a particular traveler. These are the ramifications of the problem. They are not the problem. There have to be some bridges built; but first we have to acknowledge the rivers. This is what I think is basic. This is what I believe to be the most common denominator in this spring of 1964. This must be first, the recognition and then the admission -- that the dignity of human beings is not negotiable. The eminent worth of man has no pro and no con. And the desperate need for an understanding and a respect between all men is as fundamental as the process of breathing in and breathing out. On this spring night we look toward Washington, D.C., and hear the echoed overtones of a debate. We watch the struggle to invoke a cloture. We hear the voices of the willful foot-draggers and the hopeful sprinters as they trade and compromise and give battle for what they believe. But again, there is something happening on this earth transcendent of the Senates, the governments, the temporal voices of the champions of rights and the filibusters of wrong. What is happening is that a whole world has suddenly become cognizant of its oneness. An idea of brotherhood has ceased to be an abstract. It has taken on a form and dimension and breadth and meaning. 'Every man's death diminishes me' -- a lyrical stab at truth from another century. But in this nineteen hundred and sixth fourth year of our Lord, every man's indignity, every man's hunger, every man's search for freedom, every man's life reinforces me and revitalizes me and rededicates me. 'We cannot be half-free and half-slave,' Mr. Lincoln said. And now, a hundred years later, we find that we cannot be half hungry and half content; half with dignity, half with shame; half with freedom, half with a simple yearning to be free; half with prerogatives, half asking for just a few; half superior, half denied the right to prove even equality. 'You cannot legislate human love.' Have you heard that phrase? 'You cannot pass a law to stop people from hating' -- a battle slogan of those who don't want to be bothered. A statement of philosophy from 20th century non-philosophers who would probably melt down the test tubes used to look for the microbes and the bacteria and the virus that caused cancer. Cancer is with us, so why fight it? Leave it to the individual patients. But don't make waves. Don't stir the river bed. And above all, don't contemplate the beauty of this earth. The deeds of love. The small, gradual, but inexorable move upward of the human animal toward an enlightened moment in time when the person next door is the neighbor, the Negro is the darker neighbor, the South American is my Latin neighbor, the Japanese is my Oriental neighbor. You can't legislate against prejudice? You would rather perhaps accept it as part of the innate personality of the homo sapien? You would rather say that it's with us, it's here to stay, it's part of the social phenomenon of our time. If this is the premise to be lived with, accepted, and -- God help us -- embraced, then let us throw away theology. Let us unencumber ourselves of the premise of God. Let us tear up our art, our literature, all of our culture, and let us retire to a rubble of our own making and manufacture barbed wire instead of stained glass. Hatred is not the norm. Prejudice is not the norm. Suspicion, dislike, jealousy, and scapegoating -- none of these things is the transcendent facet of the human personality. They are the diseases. They are the cancers of the soul. They are the infectious and contagious viruses that have bled humanity over the years. But because they have been and are, is it necessary that they shall be? I think not. If there is one voice left to say 'welcome' to a stranger; if there is but one hand outstretched to say 'enter and share'; if there is but one mind remaining to think a thought of warmth and friendship, then there is also a future in which we will find more than one hand, more than one voice, and more than one mind dedicated to the cause of man's equality. Wishful, hopeful, unassured, problematic, and not to be guaranteed. This is all true. But again, on this spring evening of 1964, a little of man's awareness has shown itself. A little of his essential decency, his basic goodness, his preeminent dignity, has been made a matter of record. There will be moments of violence and expressions of hatred and an ugly re-echo of intolerance, but these are the clinging vestiges of a decayed past, not the harbingers of the better, cleaner future. To those who tell us that the inequality of the human animal is the necessary evil, we must respond by simply saying that first, it is evil but second, it is not necessary. We prove it, sitting here tonight. We prove it by reaffirming our faith. We prove it by having faith in our reaffirmations. Horace Mann said, 'Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.' Let's paraphrase that tonight. Let us be ashamed to live without that victory." ^[blog] #MetaphorPurityRaceMixingMiscegenation #PleaDignity

The necessity of illusions is also the major theme of 'Truth and Lie'. I agree with the earlier comment that, if it has any relation to a particular passage at all, it is a bad paraphrase! It's hard to explain exactly but if you even just skim the relevant passages in Morgenröthe or 'Truth and Lie' you'll see that when he's discussing the sturdiness of illusions he is often discussing the important functions they serve and when he is discussing the pursuit of truth he is often treating it as the product of illusions!

Context #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesDavidBlight "But in the same way that Abraham Lincoln has become 'everybody's grandfather,' in the words of the historian David Donald, the one American figure who could be adopted by every part of the political spectrum, Douglass is also appropriated broadly, especially by the American right. ... On the surface Douglass does appear to be self-made -- he was the escaped slave who willed his own freedom, stole the master's language and wrote masterpieces of antislavery literature. But without many people, especially women (his grandmother, two wives, a daughter and countless abolitionist women who supported his career) as well as male mentors, both white and black, he would not have survived and become Douglass. In private, he easily admitted his reliance on friends and associates, and he believed in a theory of history rooted in the Old Testament, in the Exodus story, in collective liberation by God and by events. In 'Self-Made Man,' a new book published by the Cato Institute, the lawyer Timothy Sandefur argues that Douglass's essential legacy lies in his advocacy of liberty, individualism and private property and free enterprise. The radical abolitionist who risked all to use words and politics to free an entire people from slavery was, to Mr. Sandefur, only 'a radical for individualism' and never concerned with 'the interests of the collective.' To believe that, one has to ignore most of Douglass's career, especially his life as an abolitionist, his ferocious attacks on the poison of racism and his brilliant analysis of how lynching emerged from the evils of white supremacy. Douglass believed that freedom was safe only within the state and under law. Douglass did preach self-reliance for his fellow blacks: He argued that the freed slaves should be given their rights, protected and then 'let alone.' But he never employed that 'let alone' dictum without also demanding 'fair play,' and security against terror and discrimination. Conservatives have cherry-picked his words to advance their narrow visions of libertarianism." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/opinion/right-coopts-frederick-douglass.html #OrgClassifPPUSPOTUSAbrahamLincoln #IRLHistorianDavidDonald ^[Wikipedia] #TheoryIndividualismCompetitiveSelfMadeManArchetype #PowerControlChattelSlaveryAbolitionism #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleOTBookOfExodus #PoliticsCollectivism #AdvocacyUSCatoInstitute ^[Wikipedia] #AdvocacyUSGoldwaterInstituteTimothySandefur https://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/our-team/timothy-sandefur/ #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #PowerControlViolencePhysicalBrutalityLynching #SlurWhiteSupremacy #CatchcryFreedomLiberty #ReasoningFallacyOfIncompleteEvidenceCherryPicking #PoliticsLibertarianism

Written with speechwriter Brent Bozell, the book was a statement of Goldwater's political creed. In chapters that focused on issues such as civil rights, labor relations, and the welfare state, Goldwater called for the 'utmost vigilance and care...to keep political power within its proper bounds.' The national media largely dismissed the book, but Goldwater's vision quickly gained an audience and the book became a best-seller. Today, it is considered a landmark in the development of modern conservatism." ^[Government] #AdvocacyUSMediaResearchCenterMRCLeoBrentBozellIII ^{[Wikipedia] [Wikipedia]} https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/09/january-6-capitol-attack-son-conservative-activist-convicted #IRLPrivateCitizenLeoBrentBozellIV #2020_CapitolSiege #MagazineTheNewRepublicTNRTimothyNoah "Brent ghostwrote Barry Goldwater's book, The Conscience of a Conservative, giving wide play to his Cold War pessimism when the book became a surprise bestseller in 1960.

Supplementary "What, if anything, justifies the authority of the state? What are the proper limits of state power? Under what circumstances, if any, is it morally right to overthrow a state? Within Western political philosophy, one of the most influential approaches to such questions asserts that the state exists by, and its powers are generally defined or circumscribed by, the rational agreement of its citizens, as represented in an actual or a hypothetical social contract among themselves or between themselves and a ruler. The classic social-contract theorists of the 17th and 18th centuries--Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), John Locke (1632-1704), and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-78)--held that the social contract is the means by which civilized society, including government, arises from a historically or logically preexisting condition of stateless anarchy, or a 'state of nature.' Because the state of nature is in certain respects unhappy or unsatisfactory or undesirable, or because increasingly complex social relations eventually require it, each person agrees to surrender some (or all) of his or her originally expansive rights and freedoms to a central authority on the condition that every other person does the same. In exchange, each person receives the benefits that supposedly only such a central authority can provide, notably including domestic peace." ^{[encyclopædia]} #TheoryTheSocialContract

Supplementary "Critics of affirmative action support their claim to a colorblind Constitution with disingenuous references to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,17 who famously dreamed of a time when people would be 'judged not by the color of their skin but the content of their character.' But King was denouncing a brutal regime of forced segregation, humiliation, and lynching of black citizens. There is little doubt he would find modest race preference an acceptable, indeed necessary, curative." https://www.nlg.org/nlg-review/article/from-dog-whistle-to-megaphone-the-trump-regimes-cynical-assault-on-affirmative-action-2/ #JournalNLGReviewASocialJusticeLawJournalMarkSBrodin #PolicyAffirmativeActionDiscriminationPositive #TheoryRacialColourBlindnessContentOfTheirCharacter

Supplementary who is BlazeMedia's Tomi Lahren? #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianJasonWilson "On a normal day, her videos, pushing familiar conservative positions, get millions of views. But most of her big viral hits have come from putting pop culture under a conservative lens, and leveraging that to talk about the politics of race in the US. ... Political scientist Dan Cassino, author of a new book on Fox News, says this willingness to make 'a rightwing criticism of pop culture' is one of the things that has so quickly developed Lahren's profile: 'It is a surefire way to inject yourself into the soft news cycle. That's a niche that other people haven't moved into, and she's done a very good job of that.' ... Cassino, the political scientist, thinks that like Donald Trump, Lahren may be both an example and beneficiary of a sea change in the way conservatives talk about race. 'There was an unspoken rule in the conservative movement for a long time, which they learned from Richard Nixon: you do not talk openly about race. It was seen as toxic to talk about it in anything but dog whistles.' Twenty years ago, conservative commentators would talk in code about it, in terms of 'welfare', 'inner city crime', or 'family breakdown'. But in the last five to 10 years, Cassino says, 'it has become acceptable for conservatives to talk about race in concrete terms'. The election of Obama, for example, led to arguments that talk of racial inequality was overblown, and eventually to criticisms of the president in terms of his racial identity. All of this precisely coincides with Lahren's formative political years. Like Trump and many other conservatives, Lahren puts this change down to a weariness with political correctness. 'For too long, white people have been told that they can't talk about race, and that only some people of colour can talk about race. I don't buy that.' She insists that she is not racist, but also that 'there can't be a group of people in this country who are blamed for the ills of minority communities and then not allowed to speak or defend themselves.' This appeal to white grievances is similar to the one made by the Trump campaign. Even if more conservatives are more willing to talk bluntly about their own racial views, there is still, for their audiences, a frisson in this that gets attention." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/23/tomi-lahren-conservative-white-power-barbie #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #IRLScientistPoliticalDanCassino #MetaphorPurityRace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2O5MGpfKTc&t=6s #PleaLawAndOrder #IRLSingerBeyonceKnowlesCarter #OrgClassifPPUSBlackPantherPartyBPP ^[Wikipedia] #IRLActivistMartinLutherKingMLK #TheoryRacialColourBlindness #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyPOTUSBarackObama #IRLActorJadaPinkettSmith #IRLActivistAlSharpton #IRLSingerShawnCarterJayZ

Addendum in asking his open questions, Rubin is referencing #IRLActivistMartinLutherKingMLK's #1963_IHaveADream i.e. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." speech, which he is doing to advance a #TheoryRacialColourBlindness argument. However, King's daughter - #IRLLawyerBerniceKing explains that this isn't what her father mean i.e. #TVViacomCBS "'What my father is asking is to create the climate where every American can realize his or her dreams,' he says. 'Now what does that mean when you have 50 million people living in poverty?' Bernice King doubts her father would seek to ignore differences. Bernice King says her father is asking us 'to get to a place - we're obviously not there - but to get to a place where the first thing that we utilize as a measurement is not someone's external designation, but it really is trying to look beyond that into the substance of a person in making certain decisions, to rid ourselves of those kinds of prejudices and biases that we often bring to decisions that we make.'" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mlks-content-of-character-quote-inspires-debate/ #1963_MarchOnWashingtonForJobsAndFreedom
