As politics stalks Thanksgiving, remember: According to the UFC, everyone has to find a way to engage. Pacifism, after all, fails if it’s passive.
Once again we’re all heading into Thanksgiving with contagious political conversation at fever pitch. And once again we’re leading with our chins.
At the holiday table this year, watch for those who fancy themselves just that lawless. They’ll be growling and sporting Jim Jordan-style shirtsleeves. Or if they’re social-justice partisans, they may feel free to charge admirers of Brett Kavanaugh with being closet rapists themselves. Anything to win for this below-the-belt crowd.Except, even in the no-holds-barred early UFC, there was a clear prohibition: No biting. Because ouch.
But hold up: You’re picturing the rule breaker as a red-faced red-state redhat, yes? Not so fast. Let’s return to the aggro pacifist determined to engage no one. And there’s one more crucial UFC rule: No faking injury. Oy, the Thanksgiving ramifications.This is how it goes: Your cousin is adamant that Pete Buttigieg isgoing to president. Suddenly you’re on the brink of tears and running for the powder room. Taking offense at that level is over the top, it’s a form of “timidity,” and that’s cheating.
