Adam Kinziger's fake crying today may have overtaken that Trump impersonator's Easter video as the funniest thing I've seen since Borat. But why did Kinziger fake-weep like a blubbering old maid? Because he knew he would receive accolades from many corners. We now reward weakness and victimhood. He was a victim too, you see. We must always feel safe.
Adam Schiff attempted to fake-cry, but he couldn't even work up any tears.
Then there was the Capitol policeman who, quite laughably, claimed that he felt more threatened on January 6 than he did searching for IEDs in Iraq.
Why are we back to mask mandates and talk of more lockdowns? Because the female ethic of zero tolerance for any risks or any threats now governs our political system, all lathered in therapeutic language, and and topped off with the obligatory assignment of blame. Assignment of blame rises in importance in direct proportion to the inevitability of the problem of crisis, in this case, a global pandemic over which we had no control. This is what drives the insistence on scapegoating political enemies as the responsible party for this pandemic's continuation. Ditto an issue like global warming. You will find women falling out of houses assigning blame for the state of the climate to their political enemies, as well.
Observe how these ethics tear apart other institutions, like the military, the education system, the criminal justice system. Do patriarchal systems produce restorative justice practices in education and in our justice system, or do matriarchies? Do patriarchal systems reward political theater like we saw today, with blubbering men, regardless if that blubbering was authentic? You know the answer to these things. What happens when you have a party that has become the party of women and an opposing party that has become the party of men, yet the party of men is scared to speak in opposition to these things because it fears it will lose too many female votes?
