Masquerades of Mythology; Procrusteans on the Left and Right

Pundits speak today of identity politics and the best among us applaud.  Such description – such “de-scribing” – is an act upon a prior act that shoves the shoveling of complexity of an individual into a category that abstracts in service of self-satisfaction and augmentation of power.  Masquerades of Mythologies. Procrusteans on the left. Procrusteans on the right.  Comforting pieties for the comfortably pious.
