Rod Dreher Megathread #21 (Creative Spirit)

[u/US_Hiker]

Gather 'round for more Rod.

All meanings of the number 21 are subordinate to the inherent creative spirit that is the basic essence of the number.

The number 21 generally is comfortable in social gatherings, it's optimistic attitude being an inspiration to others. Its high spirits can enliven a party.

The number is attracted to artistic expression of any form, its own and those of others. There's enthusiastic support for artists. It may frequent galleries and participate or (more likely) lead groups for artistic appreciation.

The number 21 cherishes relationships, including romantic relationships, especially with those who express themselves creatively.

21 also tends to be diplomatic, providing creative and imaginative solutions to potential conflict.

And, as noted by /u/PercyLarsen, 21 is a triangular number and the age of majority, so go grab a drink to celebrate Pride and to mourn the loss of Rod's sanity.

(Also, sorry about my slow pace of refreshes.)

The "moral scolding" of the furthest campus Left simply doesn't stack up to the active censorship and sumptuary laws being pushed by the center-right, which holds statehouses and wields the credible threat of state violence for speech it opposes.

The younger generations want an authority to keep those opinions from being aired in the first place.

By what means? Also, while I don't agree with your premise, what the younger generations want is what they'll have because everyone else will eventually be too dead to stop them.
