“Maybe that’s why I tend to equate physical beauty with qualities with which it has absolutely nothing to do. I see a pretty mouth or a moody pair of eyes and imagine all sorts of deep affinities, private kinships. Never mind that half a dozen jerks are clustered round the same person, just because they’ve been duped by the same pair of eyes.” — *[Francis] “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt*

A true #enlightened #man knows the benefits of #intellectualism, #romanticism & #socialism by way of mere inference.
Power in numbers cannot be understated, as it is the foundation of #democracy. #PublicEducation cannot be underrated, as it is the foundation of the #sciences. #Culture & #Congregation is there to fulfill basic needs that all humans have. Take away this and the man never grows.

This is the #delusional nonsense that passes for #intellectualism on the right. The #insurrectionists were tried by juries of their peers based on the well-established trial rules. After being found #guilty, they were sentenced by impartial judges, many who were appointed by #Trump. And their sentences were significantly lower than the guidelines called for. People like #Palin don't care about the facts. They just want to be right, and they're happy to lie about it.
