Here's one of those observations that is so obvious nobody notices it. The Establishment lacks a name for the creed and philosophy they follow.
They just comply with the orthodoxy that is acceptable on college campuses and in court rooms, but beyond that they have lost a name for what they follow.
The semantics they use do not go beyond the scripted shtick of "town hall meetings" that is simply a content feed for mainstream reporters.
THEY HAVE TO IGNORE REALITY. They don't even have a name for what they represent. In fact, that is the only thing they are militant about: ignoring what's real in the larger society they preposterously claim to represent. But the ordinary people I use the Mantra on, white and nonwhite, don't have this reaction at all.
The Establishment has to ignore what is real because the laundry list of things they are compelled to attend to is entirely divorced from the race conflict the larger society is embroiled in. There is no way in hell they can attend to that conflict other than preach, bang people around, and hand cuff them.
That just means they can't CONTAIN the conflict.
