When things get too tragic, we laugh
Barry Rubin is talking about the Middle East, but he could just as well be talking about the world wide protests that our dear President is encouraging:
There’s a saying that goes something like this: When things are bad, a Jew cries. When they get even worse, a Jew cries more. And when they even get worse, a Jew laughs. As indelicate as this may seem, the current situation makes me want to laugh.
That’s so because things are more ridiculous than they are scary. As the advice and claims of others get increasingly absurd, you have no desire to listen to them. You just have to do what you know is right and stop having any doubts about it precisely because the arguments on the other side are just so historically inaccurate, factually false, and illogical.
If you’re comfortable reading about a world gone mad, the rest is here.
