This fellow is not a drug-ravaged, homeless, unwashed screwball. He's as representative of middle-class success as it gets. He's a healthy, good-looking, clean, vital and intelligent young man -- and he's a practicing attorney.In an ever increasing xenophobic, nativist America there are far too many who are frightened by change, diversity, and an inclusive society, such as this idiot lawyer.
This sort of ignorance, hate, bigotry, and stupidity is only going to get worse.
What I see is an outburst of long-repressed anger at the de-Americanization of America. This is the first manifestation of freely expressed national frustration we've seen, so it seems bizarre when it really is quite simply something to think about. Because Schlossberg quite obviously has been thinking about what he sees happening not only in Europe but, in less conspicuous form, right here in the USA -- and he's pissed off.
Maybe I am more sensitive to what has driven Aaron Schlossberg off the deep end because I am old enough to remember when America was America. I remember the look, the smell, and the taste of it -- none of which is the same anymore. It's a different place. And while Schlossberg is much younger than I he probably has been subconsciously dwelling on the change for some time and being suddenly smacked in the conscious by a language that rudely woke him, he went off.
So it will be interesting to see what comes of this very strange event. Because he's a lawyer the race pimps and the kumbaya panderers won't be able to control Schlossberg as easily as they would some ordinary oddball.
