Ps. This 'positive thinking is a problem' story is months old, and
for me 'positive thinking' implies thinking of the eradication of
the people who decide what's "positive" and 'negative", because it's
in relation to something right? And who gets to decide that
relationship for me?

Yes! magazine, the principal propaganda organ for Progressive
Liberal
positive thinkers, seems to have just changed its editorial
policy.
In a feature article widely distributed via social media, they
have
published a detailed account of police violence at Standing Rock
that
calls torture of prisoners torture, straight up, without
euphemisms or
waffling. This is a radical break from their customary "if you
can't
say something nice don't say anything at all" policy, which is
what
the Yes! brand has been about for many years.
Yes! will not meet standards for approval by our more
wannabe-radical
participants here, because it is /most/ unlikely that they will
ever
advocate killing people as the one and only practical way to
affect
political change. But they do reach an audience of opinion
leaders
among the Middle Class Liberals, and those folks' favorite
feelgood
story teller just took a shot at slapping them awake. In and of
itself this means little, but as an indicator of shifting
political
winds it is part of a trend that could become YUGE.
Our urban Middle Class has been treated to months of full
saturation
propaganda campaigns presenting a vulgar buffoon of a
pretend-candidate for President as an existential threat to
Everything
That Is Good And Holy In The Entire Universe. The same campaigns
promote the absolute, unquestionable necessity of electing a
ruthless,
vicious, high performing mass murderer who will save them from the
Big
Bad Trump, depicting her as the shining champion and savior of
Everything That Is Good And Holy In The Entire Universe. In
recent
weeks I have seen people I would never have believed capable of
rational criticism of their Party's heroic leaders bailing out of
that
mind set.
Is it possible that the cognitive dissonance barriers that keep
Identity Politics on the (so-called) Left working have started to
crack? Could it be that the people at Yes! think so, and have
decided
to roll with that and see where it leads?
