This epi of “Marketplace” – or, more specifically, its A-line feature on workplaces catering to (liberal) peoples’ politics – may have been one of the most depressing things I’ve heard lately.
It starts at 17:36.
The unstated coda to the piece: “progressive” America wants to “other” all dissent out of every aspect of life.
I just left a contract at a group that was less obnoxious about it than the preening virtue-signalers in the Marketplace piece – but not, I suspect, out of lack of wanting to be. And it got me thinking – for all the talk about “tribalism” – usually from the left, aimed at the likes of Trump supporters and Tea Partiers – it’s Big Left that really takes this stuff seriously.
Well, the tribe is a collective. Why wouldn’t the left embrace it? The word tribe is a means to project regressive parochialism on the “other”.
I note that the word regressive is finding its way into the mouths of the yapping chihuahuas of the left.
