A quotation from Henry Commager
It is easier to say what loyalty is not than to say what it is. It is not conformity. It is not passive acquiescence in the status quo. It is not preference for everything American over everything foreign. It is not an ostrich-like ignorance of other countries and other institutions. It is not the indulgence in ceremony — a flag salute, an oath of allegiance, a fervid verbal declaration. It is not a particular creed, a particular version of history, a particular body of economic practices, a particular philosophy.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-07), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 4, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168More about this quote: wist.info/commager-henry-steel…

This defense of #statusquo and #incrementalism as the ONLY way forward is jaw-dropping in its complete denial of the #urgency and #scale of #climatechange
#Influential people like this writer are simply unwilling to engage with the catastrophic impacts faced by folks in the #developing world where there is no recourse. For these folks - it is all a #game
