Yes, " The filthy New York Times " !
The Jussie Smollett controversy: Must all accusations be believed?
"The filthy New York Times gets the Pulitzer Prize for Hypocrisy ." Too bad a sentence cannot win a Pulitzer Prize -but never in this ruling class controlled mainstream news media - LED by the venerable New York Times.
The Democratic Party based IDENTITY POLITICS circus has created a degenerate moral climate in which the foolishly ambitious petty bourgeois social climbers acquire a public FALSE SELF as an asset in the celebrity besotted Culture of Narcissism ".
The constant appeal to hedonist sexuality in radio and TV advertising - so out of touch which natural sexuality ( with its biological basis in the REPRODUCTION of the human species ) - reminds me of just what old Dr. Freud got right in " Civilization and Its Discontents ".

[With the abolition of private property, then, we shall have true, beautiful, healthy Individualism. Nobody will waste his life in accumulating things, and the symbols for things. One will live. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. ]
Oscar Wilde, "The Soul of Man under Socialism," 1891
