Pretending to a moral war which was actually won a generation ago

This showed up in my Twitter feed. An advertisement from my local newspaper (to which we already subscribe.)

Hate crimes are rising. White supremacists are openly marching against minorities. AJC is here to fight bigotry. Follow us to learn more.

Almost inconceivable that they would allow such unalloyed cognitive pollution into the wild. The hysteria, the falsity, the immodesty of the virtue signaling.

Sure it was probably written by some Ben Rhodes journalist, twenty-seven years old and knowing literally nothing, but how it was allowed out for the public to see, is incomprehensible.

Especially if you know anything about Atlanta, rife with public corruption, government incompetence, insider dealing, collapsing water and sewer, deteriorating roads and police staffing 25% below target and recruiting unable to keep up with attrition.

In my neighborhood, among the more desirable in the city, crime is up 40% over the past three years. Not serious crime, so far. Car theft, car burglary, very occasional home invasions. Enough to outrage neighbors but not enough for the city to do anything.

And white supremacists? Well, sure, there must be a few in jail cells, or in their grandmother's basement here and there. But marching in the street? Pfft.

The AJC is preening about fighting a moral war which was actually won a generation ago.
