8. Excellent summation of the gun/controllers' problems.

It seems some of the controller/banners are doubling down on the Shame'Em Strategy©, and really have no intention of changing their ways; they are enjoying that "sweetest of moral pleasures" (Huxley attrib.) that always accompanies prohibitionist culture wars. No compromise, make-stink-on-the-carpet, self-centered, and really into Salem-style witch-hunting. You wou!d think they were working for the "other side."

They MUST keep their culture war relevant, and that requires unstinting support of a fading MSM, and elite-directed bans of opposing viewpoints within organizations of so-called progressives (the latter is a specific goal of controller banners, here). The real question is who (not what) they hate. We can get a flavor of their enemies in the drop trou & wade in cartoons they so favor: It is usually whole populations of European-descended men, a relatively safe target in liberal fora.
