Over at the libertarian blog Notes on Liberty Jacques Delacroix published a crack investigation into white supremacy.  He claims that white supremacy is a “boogeyman” that

serves the useful purpose of taking public attention away from several kinds of disturbing socio-intellectual developments to which it is publicly tied. I have in mind, for example, the loss of agency, the creeping de-humanization of individuals implicit in identity politics, now present in every aspect of American life.

“Greetings, Professor Falken….”

The machine has taken over, I’ve set up a series of reading assignments for you to be released at timed intervals by computer itself.  This is the second:

• Voting against Trump means you never have to say, “I’m Sorry.”
• Next time someone says liberal arts education is useless, tell them about Derek Black.
