"Readers could learn about other cultures without making their values our own." Alan, you just summed up the opposite of this moment in history, where so many embrace other cultures as their own and adopt their jihadism as both a moral necessity and cultural norm. That Mamdani just won the Dem vote in NYC while protesters march in support of Iran while condemning Israel and Jews feels historic to me and this article helped me understand some of why I feel this way. Love your storytelling even if the moral of this story describes today's moral compass spinning wildly out of control. And the part about the meerkats in the Hitler video just killed! I could not stop laughing. Brilliant and funny. Thanks for another gem and for fighting the good fight and outing the NGS. So well done!
