I never thought I'd see the day when I agreed with anything David Mamet had to say. I never liked his plays or movies. I hated Oleanna when it came out. But that's how crazy and ideologically oppressive things have become. New alliances emerge. You see people in a new light, if you're willing. Mamet understands, in a way that few do--the way I do--what once-great cities like New York have truly lost. Gentrification is total now. It's everything, it's everyone. Any resistance automatically makes someone stand out. That doesn't mean I now agree with everything Mamet says (one of the things I find odd, for example, is the dismissal of identitarianism while emphatically proclaiming that everyone great, including Shakespeare(?), is Jewish). It just means I listen before I reject and criticize.
