REVERSE COURSE! Shockingly, the Democratic Nominee Will Visit Wisconsin.
But won’t Biden’s visit violate ‘the peaceful nature’ of things in Kenosha, as previously described in the limited hangout issued by his campaign spokeswoman?
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): So if you’re really cynical, you figure Biden will be shot by a “white supremacist,” the Dems will replace him with someone electable, and the media will unanimously blame Trump?

STEAL THIS BOOK! Cockburn looted the looting book:
So, to get into the spirit of things, Cockburn pirated a PDF of the book, which was surprisingly easy to do. He also fired off this email to Bold Type Books, Osterweil’s publisher, to ask how they’d feel if the public ‘looted’ their book:
Dear Sir or Madam,
We at The Spectator have successfully pirated a copy of In Defense of Looting from the internet. Beats paying for it! We’d like your permission to republish the entire book on our website free of charge as an easily downloadable or shareable PDF file — in order to spread the message far and wide. Assume that’s fine? Please let us know if not.
So far, Bold Type hasn’t gotten back to us. Suddenly, they don’t seem too enthusiastic about subverting racist ideas like ‘you should pay for things you want.’ How strange!
When Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism was published in 2009, many bookstores hid their copies of it, simply based on the name and cover illustration of a smiley face with the tiny toothbrush moustache. I wonder how proudly bookstores in malls are displaying In Defense of Looting in riot-torn 2020?

BATTLESWARM BLOG: The Totalitarian Epistemological Closure of Social Justice. “I have this ginormous post on Social Justice that just keeps getting bigger and bigger, with more and more links, and I’ll never finish it unless I start breaking it down into smaller chunks. So this post focuses on two meaty pieces about the theoretical underpinnings of Social Justice, and how it suffers from epistemological closure.”
It’s a good read.
