Blogline of the Day – when you throw traditional social mores to the curb…

graphicstock-society-word-on-yellow-brick-wall_BwkQjq__Z_thumb (1)Related: In the middle of a Twitter thread on the MSM’s increasing penchant for doxxing, a Twitter user who goes by the handle “Thomas H. Crown” writes, “Journalists have happened on the fastest way I can identify to drive Americans to say, ‘No, please, rando with a webpage, tell us all about this journalist’s family so we can complain every time he writes a bad article,’” adding, “I will say this: The last few years have convinced me, more than ever, that social norms are the most powerful and at the same time the most delicate things in the world; and we are hurting ourselves by tearing them asunder.”

…you will reap the effect of “be careful for what you wish for” and not always a good outcome is knocking at the door. Man cannot be governed by external laws alone – there must be some internalized sense of self-discipline and self-governance; oft, they are created by, support by, and enforced by social norms: traditions built up over the centuries because they work.  Currently, as I have said before, the 60s were the start of the real push to upset those norms.  It is my belief that part of that misguided effort to throw off “bourgeois values” with no concern as to the effects – or knew quite well what they would be.  Just read back the history of the Frankfurt School and the Italian Socialist Gramsci.

Again, bricks being pulled out of the stylized Brick Wall that represent Society
