It’s a revolt against the “elites,” in the media, Hollywood, government and academia, who are unjustifiably elite only in privilege, not in competence or knowledge or wisdom. In those matters in fact, they are the opposite of elites.
[Monday morning update]
Sorry for the lack of link. I’ve got it now.
Ah, the case of the missing link!

Unbound? Must be Moira Johnston.
Hmmm. I see the confusion between “I have the right” and “it’s a good idea” continues to blight the world.
Once again economics demonstrates that people only give away for free that which has a market value near zero.
Hmmm can’t decide which link I like more.
wodun,
I’m not a fan of huge ‘links’, but I found her ‘links’ were a little small.
(is that sexist? yes, it most probably is, but I didn’t ask her to take off her shirt did I? I didn’t whistle, cat call or throw my dollar bills at her…if you don’t want stupid comments, keep your clothes on!!)
I liked the comment about Americans being prudes, that women go topless on European beaches all the time. They also do so when the go to the Seychelles for a ‘holiday’.
In 1979, I went to the Seychelles while I was in the Navy. The beaches were topless. But the idea of beautiful European babes, topless enjoying the sun and water went OUT the window quickly! For every 18 to 30 year old Moira Johnston type, there were two Grandmother Johnston types! And I’m not being mean or crude intentionally, but 55 to 75 year old grandmothers, most of the time, should keep their top on!
I was never sure which was worse grandmother topless or the GrandFATHER, 250 to 300 lbs, in a Speedo! And I’m talking Speedo like a swimmer on the Olympics. Granted, I’m a huge guy myself, but when I go to the lake or ocean, little children don’t force their hands over their faces, all the while screaming, “…my EYES, my EYES!!!”
Picture a beer barrel, with male ‘parts’, sometimes covered, sometimes NOT covered by a West German Flag Speedo!
Opa, macht nichts, macht nichts!!? Vertuschung!
I can’t remember who I stole the line from, but:
What’s the worst problem with nude beaches? Lack of quality control.
My folks were stationed at the USAFB, Hellenikon Greece, in the early 80s and I went for a visit for about three months. One day I went to the beach and lost my glasses. I’m walking down the beach trying to figure out where to leave since it had a cliff face where I was. So I asked for help.
It took me a moment to realize the guy I was talking to had no clothes on (I am pretty much blind without glasses.) Or he had on a flesh colored swim suit. I really couldn’t say?
Didn’t see any girls. Couldn’t have anyway. I still think it’s funny.
