Thank you once again, Lee Smith. A well-crafted, searing indictment. I will be rereading it many times. Unfortunately, I cannot share it with anyone, as everyone I know (except my dear wife, thank Heaven) is a complacent leftist robot. And as you point out, the robots on the right are no better. As the late, great Colin Wilson would say, a robot is a robot, and will never change without some sort of cataclysmic existential crisis. Can't anybody bloody THINK anymore? I despair, but this article awakens in me a shred of hope that the obvious truth will someday enjoy currency again, and moral nothings like Biden, Blinken, Obama et al. will swirl into the garburator of history where they belong, with the Vidkun Quislings and Pierre Lavals.

By the way, I can't understand why more readers don't comment on the Scroll. It's one of the best Substacks on the web right now.

I whole heartedly concur that the Scroll is one of the absolute best newsletters, not just in Substack but anywhere! Essential reading!

If I may, I’d like to amend one of your statements in your posts to include:

“ a robot is a robot, and will never change without some sort of cataclysmic existential crisis”…

“…that touches them personally in their own lives.”

Those blind automatons know not what they do, as they mark their own selves and very lives as meaningless by their cheerleading the ultimate in man’s inhumanity to man exhibited on Oct. 7th.

Thank you, Suzie, for your very astute addition to that statement. It captures my intended meaning perfectly. And yes, every afternoon when the Scroll arrives in my inbox, I have to take a break from my work right away and read it through. (Fortunately, I work for myself.)
