Encouragement in song and verse.

Pakistan has troubles that certainly don't need Obama announcing tough love and invasions over. I don't know what people think, sometimes, about other countries and the people who live in them.

This is a video popular in Pakistan. The singers in it are pop stars there and they got together to do this song. (This version has English subtitles.)

I've said before, national mythology, or self-identity is probably the most important determining factor there is for what people can do tomorrow.

And while I'm linking videos. Here's a very different one from a Marine. Blackfive has the words if you'd like to read them. (Or if the link to You Tube doesn't work.) A call to unity and service.

Compulsion is Compulsion, no matter who does it. This is Brilliant Theft is Theft, no matter who does it.

Does it really make a difference to losing my CHOICE to voluntarily associate if there's a law that says I may not serve "those people" o...

What Cancel Culture is NOT

Maybe we should talk about what cancel culture isn't. It's not a boycott. It's not deciding to no longer go to a business. It's not giving a bad review for bad service. It generally involves two things. First, the offense is a matter of opinion. Second, secondary or even tertiary targets are threatened. Cancellation does not need to be successful, and often with very famous and wealthy people it is not successful. But it serves as a warning to vulnerable people who are not in a position to weather that kind of attack. The goal is terroristic in that it's about forcing social behavior in people who are not currently the subject of the attack. The message is always, this could happen to you. And the tactic invariably includes seeking out vulnerable people to threaten in order to put pressure on businesses or on the target of the attack. So it works like this: JK Rowling is invulnerable. But they can try, right? So what they do is they find out who works for the pub...
