What the Left Gets Right: Feelings matter.

What the Left Gets Right: Feelings matter.

One of the things the Radical Left practices, intentionally or otherwise, is the airing of and "working through" of feelings. This often happens in the prevailing ideology's version of struggle sessions that alienate people based on "oppressor" versus "oppressed" identity statuses, but before they devolve to the oppression olympics (as

What the Left gets Right: "reverse racism" isn't a thing

What the Left gets Right: "reverse racism" isn't a thing

If you've attempted to make sense of anti-racism and how to behave these days as a white person so as not to be accused of racism, you've probably come across the term "reverse racism" (as well as tied yourself in knots trying to avoid something you were set up to

What the Left gets Right: Appropriation is wrong

What the Left gets Right: Appropriation is wrong

As I mentioned in my last newsletter, I'm going to reflect on the anathema called appropriation. The Radical Left trains its adherents to be hair-trigger sensitive to cultural appropriation; adherents are to immediately and strongly stand against anything that gives off even a scent of, as Wikipedia summarizes, "the inappropriate

What the Left gets Right: Language matters

What the Left gets Right: Language matters

I'm a writer. I've fought for many years to claim this gifting and have wrestled for over a decade with guilt for "writing while the world's on fire" and "not doing anything actually useful" while things fall apart. After all, poetry is not penicillin. Despite so many friends pointing out

What The Left Gets Right: Getting your Act Together Is Hard

What The Left Gets Right: Getting your Act Together Is Hard

I'm going to start my series "What I agree with on The Left still" by talking about identity. The Left is currently hypnotized by Identity, so much so that they are sadly quite blind to the aspects of identity that are very small and will shrink your life if you

Truth and grace

Truth and grace

Just before Christmas last year, writing that shared my journey away from the Radical Left got characterized by the news publication that had gratefully and excitedly published it as "truth that lacks grace." I was told I would be "limited" in what I can say until there are more "grace"

A year-end reflection

A year-end reflection

Normally, you get emails from me on the 15th of every month at 10:15 am Pacific Time. You'll notice this one is a bit late. It's been a very rough morning after a somewhat triggering evening yesterday, which, I was reminded, is in the midst of a very long

What is Division Good For?

What is Division Good For?

Whatever you think about the recent elections in the United States, it's clear that the division Americans on all sides are feeling is worsening and getting more bitter. It used to be that no side would admit to wanting division; now, that the Woke cult/Radical Leftists are feeling freer

Consent is not enough

When I was a committed Radical Leftist, I preached at anyone who would listen (and even - especially - those who would not) about consent. I rage posted this condescending video over and over, rubbing good men's noses in the mistakes I was told bad men (which, in the Woke

How to apologize

How to apologize

When someone confronts us about something we've done wrong, most of us probably feel bad and find some version of the words "I didn't mean to" coming out of our mouths. For many years, if I was on the receiving end of that kind of apology, I would say, "Impact

You're not alone in feeling alone

You're not alone in feeling alone

Last month, I wrote about how empty it can feel to hear people say "you are not alone" when no one is actually showing up in real life anymore, justifying the crazy-making and extremely damaging isolation that COVID made worse but has been there all along with "we can still
