The Lessons of ‘Woke’

by Karl Denninger Market-Ticker.org

Its simple when you get down to it: Only two things work; terrorism and concerted and continual pressure.

One is of course rather illegal, but arguing it “doesn’t work” is false. It most-certainly does work. Is the TSA gone 20+ years post-9/11 or do we have all the theater when attempting to board an airplane when in fact not one prohibited item was brought on any of those planes that day? Was the intent of the terrorists to screw up air travel forever and ruin it? Who knows — but it sure did, and it’s only gotten worse since.

Never mind the various mass-shooters (terrorists by any reasonable definition) who have stated their intent to stoke gun confiscation which nearly-always does indeed lead to attempted gun control laws: Several have stated exactly that in their “manifestos.”

I rest my case.
