Incompatible With Capitalism

For John, BLUF:  I am not sure what to say.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Woe Is He

From the blog of David Thompson, 15 June 2019.

Here is the lede:

In case you missed it in the comments, here’s another illustration of the severely educated and their unhappy mental trajectories.  In this case, Mr Anthony Oliveira, a writer and “pop culture critic,” who boasts of his PhD, in English literature, and whose pronouncements are, shall we say, very much of a type.  And so we learn that, “queer people are permanently disadvantaged and marginalised by the capitalist power structure,” that, “‘the family’ as we now understand it is a capitalist invention and is specifically designed to exclude queerness,” and that, “queerness is incompatible with capitalism.”

Well, the first point is that even though Mr Anthony Oliveira is not heterosexual, he is still our Brother, and while we may think his life choice is wrong, we should still love him as a Brother.

The second point is he is Canadian, but we should still love him.

The third point is he has a PhD and we should Eschew his University, or at least his University Department, or at least his Thesis Advisor.

Finally, if we hear this kind of drivel face to face, we should remind the Speaker that homosexuality is incompatible with a lot of things, such as Sharia, but it is not incompatible with Capitalism, which puts up with a lot of foolishness, while protecting individual freedom.
