No, he's not. But he certainly has his finger on the pulse of the city.

Imagine how trivially easy it would be to fashion a virtue narrative out of stamping out violent crime, and fixing the cultural factors behind it. All those violent crime anecdotes, new ones created every day. The progressive whites could be frothed up into a frenzy. Imagine teaching our children in schools that business owners are closing their doors due to the crime epidemic. Imagine the culture that could be created, so easily.

Sadly, our culture has already been programmed with a competing virtue ideology, and you can't teach old dogs new tricks.

We've allowed a thug culture to proliferate through pop culture.

Yep. Maybe the Hays Board wasn't that bad of an idea....

Nothing at all in the piece about driving your enemies before you and hearing the lamentations of their women.

ChatGPT's version:

“What’s best in life? Let me tell you, and it’s going to be huge. Nobody knows ‘best’ like I do. First of all, you crush your enemies. Total domination—people don’t dominate like I do, and you know it. We’re talking about real victory here, folks. You see them driven before you, right? Absolutely driven. They’re scrambling, running—some say the best fleeing they’ve ever seen, but they don’t stand a chance against someone like me, believe me. And then, you get the wailing, alright? I know a lot of people talk about the wailing, and it’s unbelievable. The sound of victory, folks, because when you’re the best—when you’re winning like this—you’re gonna hear it loud and clear. And let me tell you, I hear it all the time. So, in short, what’s best in life? Total crushing, complete domination, and the sweet sound of victory. That’s what’s best, and it’s unbeatable.”
