Louis never met an uprising he didn't like, and it doesn't seem to matter much who's doing the rising-up, or why, or who benefits from it. This outlook puzzles me deeply, though I have really tried to understand it. I can sorta get part of it. Seeing cops on the receiving end of a beating, for once, is undoubtedly gratifying. And since I generally reject the lesser-evil approach to politics, well, where do I get off preferring Putin to NATO, or Assad to Netanyahu? Arguably Louis is more consistent than I am -- but I still think he's wrong.
