RetrophischIt’s early yet in making my way through @MichaelFKane’s book After Moses Sanctum, but it’s going to be hard to beat this paragraph:
Great. Even more politicians. Like roaches on a space station, they were impossible to get rid of and far more numerous than allowed by health codes.
"The Left loves to tell us we have to listen to people's 'lived experiences' to understand and respect them. That's all well and good, but they also want to make those 'lived experiences' the basis for laws and often stripping people of their rights (including the right to free speech).
"But when those 'lived experiences' don't support the Left's narrative, they ignore them. Like this man, who grew up behind the Iron Curtain."
“All the demons I know are in middle management,” Martin said.

I instantly thought of The Screwtape Letters.
Oswald Chambers said, “A fanatic is one who entrenches himself in invincible ignorance.”

“Before Covid-19, some of us had so many material and social needs met that we didn’t even know we needed them. More importantly, we didn’t know how much we were using all our stuff and experience to make up for the vacuity in our souls that has needed to be filled with love for longer than we knew, but that we have instead laden with other merchandise, material and otherwise.”
—Curt Thompson, What Do You Want?
“Grief, as it turns out, is one of the dominant features of our having been engulfed by the events of our time, weaving its way in and around our anxiety and anger, inflaming our hearts and weighing down our lives along the way.”
— Curt Thompson
