You say you want truth? But above you demanded that we jettison the bourgeois virtue of honesty. And how are you going to maintain your gun and become proficient in its use without some of those virtues you sneer at? And your little rebellion won’t last very long without a few (shudder) norms by which you can work with your fellow rebels.

While the Left has no clue how they will build their utopia on society’s ashes, they at least have a workable plan for burning it all down. You don’t even have that.

RF; go and fight for what you believe. We out.

I don’t need to rebel.

I and we don’t need to do anything , in fact nothing is exactly what we need to do.

Go on, fight. You believe.

I did and now I don’t.

I’m typical.

PS ; calling honesty a bourgeois virtue… my dear sir. You are positively distracted.

As in delusional.

The bourgeois has no virtue and cannot afford honesty. Nor as we see here can they afford to read the truth.

What the English bourgeois had and they threw it away was private property was safe, sacred. They have discarded it to be sanctimonious about Russia and Iran, etc etc. This means safe bourgeois is over, Anglo American dominion has ended, capitalism is dead, and you’re out of money.

…along the way everyone who could save you was abandoned to the fates, abused by lawyers and the media and the righteous scolds… so very well! Like the ultimate bourgeois brats at the Gaza peace rave meet your friends. It doesn’t matter what you said about the politicians, it matters what happened.

It’s done.

Meanwhile…

Bourgeois virtue?

My dear sir, this is too funny.

But if so honest and virtuous, go and fight for it.

Your disdain for the middle class is duly noted. But, yes, there are bourgeois virtues and, yes, honesty is among them. A merchant who gains a reputation for dishonest dealing will quickly lose customers and suppliers. Donald Trump gained a reputation for stiffing his lenders and business associates. Eventually, no reputable business would have anything to do with him.
