| [DavidWarrenOnline] "Gawd I hate white people." This did not come from the mouth of a BLM, or an SJW, or other DMI (my abbreviation for, "drooling malicious idjit"); rather, from that of an ageing white male. I knew exactly what he meant. We had been discussing the SFs among the overmonied and underbrained in one of this city’s more prosperous neighbourhoods. Virtue signallers, the lot of them: unctuous and asinine to a fault. It’s true, we’re both prejudiced against these constipated caucasoids. And better yet, it costs us nothing. For we aren’t invited to their parties, anyway. On the other hand, one is in a poor opening position when one must argue that one is not a neo-Nazi or a white supremacist. I dislike poor opening positions, so am inclined to omit them. Having been called everything in my time, even "a gentleman and a scholar" (exceptionally low blow), I happily admit to being a fascist, a leper, a racist, and a rightwing troll. I take particular pride in "Jew-lover," for in that case the description fits. (Twice I’ve been called that over a ’phone; and once, in the course of a single "debate," both an anti-Semite and a Jew-lover.) I am also every kind of phobe, and hater, including self-hater; a misogynist and misandrist, and a misandronist, to be perfectly inclusive (it’s like the difference between a racist and a racialist); people with slant eyes and people with round ones. And beyond the more pressing individual cases, I like to cultivate a general misanthropy in my spare time. |

| #1 Enjoyable read. A great effusion of language. We used to say of such writers and wordnicks when in HS: "What'd do, get hit in the ass with a dictionary?" |
