  • What a bastardization of that post, and Scott’s general views on the subject

    Can someone summarize how this is a big misinterpretation or mistake?

    I’m not in any way MAGA or trumpy or a culture war person [sure you are. E: one sort by controversial later and they are indeed a culture war person not a full time one but still], but I’m a long time SSC reader and I thought the post/article was about the fascinating and complete sorta morhph/takeover of the civic “ethos” or civic religion of the elite bluebloods of the USA.

    From veneration of founders and founding fathers (up through Abe Lincoln, etc) as the sorta civic glue and religion that we are brought up on, to now embracing LGBTQ+ (not much emphasis on boring normal “L” and “G” [dog barks]) through parades, flags, police cars, crosswalks, holidayds, add campaigns, corporate slogans and logos, etc.

    Is this not how most readers understood the article?

    Hope this makes some sscers reconsider being a fan of scotts writing. (And yes there was pushback in the replies)
