“…Outrage is reductive, easy to understand. It is an idiom of childhood—a throwback even to the terrible twos.

“The various tribes have broken off negotiations with all differing points of view. They excuse themselves from self-doubt and abandon the idea of anything so weak as compromise or, God forbid, ambivalence: No other perspective could possibly be valid. Americans have lost tolerance for the 51%-to-49% judgment call, even though that’s about the margin of their disagreement on almost everything. People give themselves over to the pleasures of self-righteousness and self-importance that come with being wronged when you know you’re in the right. Among the civic emotions, outrage is a beast of the prime; to harness outrage is to discover fire.”   [By Lance Morrow, WSJ Opinion, 30NOV18]

But, in my opinion "...to harness outrage is to discover fire.” is an understatement.  Outrage is no longer harnessed.  The 30 second sound bite people have unleashed outrage as justification for violence.  Antifa has nothing to do with fascism... it is all about anarchy.  The governments (local, state, and national) stand by and do little or nothing as the lawlessness, assault, and destruction is foisted upon innocent law abiding citizens.  I am amazed that armed citizens have not taken charge in the absence of law enforcement (of course the cowards of Antifa conduct their acts in mostly "gun free" zones).

I predict it will happen... saddly so.  THEN we will have a real mess... and the anarchy they so desire.
