THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Although we generally avoid news stories, we felt this heartbreaking story deserves everyone's reflection.] ARTICLE: The scene in Kenosha was something seen in war-torn countries. Men and women protecting their businesses and homes armed with baseball bats and firearms. Those that did not met a sad fate. Sam, an Indian immigrant who owns a family-run car dealership in downtown Kenosha, lost "every dime" he had after it was destroyed by BLM arsonists and rioters. They burned his dealership two nights in a row, destroying all the cars and looting his office before burning that as well. The 20 people Sam employed have all lost their jobs. "This is not the America I came into," the shattered man said. "What did we do to deserve all this?" he asked. "I'm a minority too. I'm a brown person. I ...

MINDINGTHECAMPUS.ORG -- American hating rioters are not an accident but the result of decades of ideological indoctrination at universities.

AREOMAGAZINE.COM -- Intersectionality or Social Justice says we hold positions of privilege or oppression due to various identities, such as race, sex, etc. What's striking are how few demands it makes on its adherents. Earlier, relgious moral systems imposed burdens of charity and sacrifice. Intersectionality makes no such demands. It imposes no financial cost, no sacrifice. Intersectionality is a very public morality. To be good, just display the correct attitudes or openly ally yourself with the appropriate causes. Just tweet about historical slavery on your smartphone, whose battery contains Cadmium mined by some of the world's forty million current slaves, including children.

"But modern science has shown there's no such thing," said my friend "Really. Which of the sciences?" "Oh, well, that's a matter of detail," said my friend. "I can't give you chapter and verse from memory." "But, don't you see," said I, "that science never could show anything of the sort?" "Why on earth not?" "Because science studies Nature. And the question is whether anything besides Nature exists--anything 'outside.' How could you find that out by studying simply Nature?" "Look here," said he. "Could this 'something outside' that you talk about make ...
