Today at the Editor’s glance: On Free For All Fridays on WNZF, host David Ayres welcomes Rep. Paul Runner and Sen. Travis Hutson, live from Tallahassee, for a legislative roundup, starting a little after 9 a.m. with my commentary on some school board members’ ignorance of the Sunshine Law. The state labor department releases monthly jobless figures for Flagler County and Florida at 10 a.m. The report is issued here. City Repertory Theatre stages “Wait Until Dark” at 7:30 p.m. in CRT’s black box theater at City Marketplace, 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite B207, Palm Coast. Tickets: $20 adults, $15 students, available online at eventbrite.com, by calling 386-585-9415, or at the venue just before showtime. True to part of its mission, City Repertory Theatre once again is offering a play that is typically off the radar of the local theater scene: a genuine, suspense-filled thriller. Susy has just been blinded in a car crash. While Susy’s husband Sam is away, three sadistic thugs track a heroin-stuffed doll they’re looking for to Susy’s apartment. A harrowing cat-and-mouse game ensues and soon involves Gloria, a young girl who lives in a nearby apartment. See Rick de Yampert’s preview, “Justice Blinded and a Heroin-Stuffed Doll Spark Thrills in City Repertory Theatre’s ‘Wait Until Dark.’ “Mass Appeal,” a two-character play at the Flagler Playhouse, at 7:30 p.m., 301 E Moody Blvd., Bunnell. The play was written by Bill Davis in 1980. The comedy-drama is about the popular but conventional and conservative Father Tim Farley who gets challenged by a rabble-rousing seminarian called Mark Dolson, first about the ordination of women, then about other matters. Book tickets here.

Federico Fellini was born on this day in 1920. And so, this:

“Her own internalized misogyny is such that she feels rage, conscious or subconscious, toward any woman she deems more beautiful than herself. She wants to see those women fail, wants them punished for their beauty. (With age, with ugliness, with stupidity.) And any woman less attractive than herself—older, boxier, more awkward, worse teeth—she feels pity for. An angry, vindictive pity.”

–From “Women Corinne Does Not Actually Know,” a story by Rebecca Makkai, Harper’s, September 2021.

    So…….. Looks like deSantis is feared by the left more than I thought. They now want to spark a war between deSantis and Trump.
    Not going to happen, but nice try. Gotta do better, kids.

    “… spark a war… .” Interesting choice of phrases, Christopher Todd Lemke. Perhaps, you have revealed just a little snippet of your current belief system to FlaglerLive readers. No, the “left”, as you describe it, is not trying to spark anything; it is simply pointing to what already exists. Trump, without naming anyone, criticized those Republican leaders who will not admit to accepting the vaccine booster shot. It is difficult for someone like Christopher Todd Lemke to win an argument when he starts with a losing point.

    The white nationalists among us have used Christopher Todd Lemke’s phrase for decades. For example, the concept behind Charles Manson’s Helter Skelter was that he and his followers would murder white people and try to make it look as if Blacks were responsible, in hopes of sparking a race war that would destroy Black society in America.

    Dylan Roof killed nine Black church members in 2015, reportedly commenting afterwards that he held hopes of sparking a race war.

    This idea of sparking a war is a very old idea. And it actually worked one time, when Gavrilo Princip gunned down Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo in June 2014. Within two months, the world was at war. As I have pointed out several times, Barbara Tuchman’s historical work, The Proud Tower, examines a wave of violence that engulfed the Western world over an approximately 25-year period, in which radicals, anarchists, socialists, communists and various other disaffected groups and individuals bombed government buildings, newspaper offices, and homes of other local leaders associated with their political opponents, assassinated government officials and members of the press, and murdered innocent civilians. One of the poignant vignettes from this period involves a young Italian princess who was stabbed to death as she walked along a Swiss lakefront promenade early one sunny morning. The killer threw down his knife, raised his hands and announced, “Let the revolution begin.” Solzhenitsyn wrote of the assassination of the Tsarist Prime Minister Stolypin in a Russian theatre by an anarchist who hoped to spark a revolution.

    Some social historians connect this type of “tipping point” thinking to Hegel, whose Hypothesis, Antithesis, Synthesis trilogy gripped the minds of revolutionaries who hoped to overthrow their home governments. In essence, for each hypothesis proposed in a society there will be an immediate and automatic production of an antithetical proposal. The societal clash between the hypothesis and the antithesis results in a synthesis, which is how societal change constantly occurs. Even Freud wrote of the inspiration he drew from Hegel’s trilogy when Freud published his own trilogy, which describes the clash between the societal superego and the individual id, with the clash at the individual level producing an ever-changing ego.

    Just let a person in the elected Repub. Party go against Trump. You will see a war in that party. Just saying, don’t blame the left. Why follow Trump he is not in office anymore, I hope he never will. These nonthinking scared Repubs, need to think for themselves.
