by Andrea Widburg… Excerpt….This ugly wedding struck me as hard as it did because I had earlier listened to a discussion about the ugliness that is inherent in leftism. It is a political ideology that eschews beauty, something one sees in the blocky architecture, drag queen worship, vicious attacks on Jordan Peterson for saying that some things and people are objectively beautiful, and endless efforts to convince us that morbidly obese women or people who have mutilated themselves are beautiful.
A society that “uglifies” itself is one that alienates people, cutting off their practical or spiritual connection to it.
And that, I guess, is why I thought it was worth drawing attention to the extraordinary ugliness of a wedding put on by people who have all the money in the world and could have opted for beauty…but didn’t.
