For me, the saddest thing about this debate is that anybody gives a flying fuck what Laura Loomer thinks about anything.
As Klaus would say, so it has come to this.

@Horace So you have no thoughts on the piece? Or the mini-controversy? Rather you want me to pull out my crystal ball? Or do you just want to change the subject?
I mean im perfectly happy to. I just would like to first let people comment on these two posts.
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

I thought I was commenting on the post; I was rhetorically responding to the person who wrote that. I was doing you the favor of reading it, through the formatting rape of whatever ctrc-c-v you used.

I started a new thread to answer you. I’m just not ready to change the subject because the controversy itself is pretty interesting.

If you need that long to make your point you’re working hard not smart.
Maybe you haven’t seen it but this has turned into a much bigger row about Indian Americans and American Culture (both phrases trending all day on twitter) and not simply a post about how to get ahead in life.

I was referring to the posted article. Sorry if that was not clear.

Vivek has a point about culture. He's not saying much that the "Tiger Mom" didn't say years ago, and things have slid since her time in the spotlight.
We all know it. It's partially why the public school system is in the mess it's in, as better students exit for a better education.

We HAD a culture that valued such things. I think we started to lose it, some time in the late 1960's. I think it fell down a rathole during the second half of the Obama Administration.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.
Warning: I post things that interest me. Read and comment at your own discretion. -

He seems pretty serious.
