The Johnny Appleseed of slang, E litters his albums with eccentric phrases both homemade and specific to the Bay, and his colorful verbiage has infiltrated hip-hop throughout the country—particularly in the South, where the Cash Money Millionaires took to his slanguage with religious fervor.

In addition to being hip-hop's premier linguist, E has a wild, unpredictable flow that changes constantly, from an exaggerated, slowed-down lisp to a hyperactive, spastic torrent, with countless levels in between. That is, patriotism is intense devotion to an abstraction, love of country, and a devotion that sponsors many vices abstract and un-abstract , some of them perversions of virtues. Among the un-abstract vices is cruelty, and among the abstract ones is honor in a bad cause.

Yet these facts do not make betrayal the opposing term to patriotism a virtue. It too is a vice because it violates the social contract, but even so, it is not a vice when driven by conscience. Love principles. Marci Shore. An exploration of postwar discussions among Central European philosophers about the possibility—or impossibility—of absolute values.

The context for these discussions is the intertwined experiences of Nazism and Stalinism, which often laid bare the gray spaces amidst loyalty and betrayal, guilt and innocence. Loyalty and disloyalty were central concepts in the wartime imprisonment of Japanese Americans. Ellen Schrecker.

Loyalty oaths and other political tests for employment flourished during the late s and s. Directed against supposed subversives associated with American communism, they allowed politicians and others to go on record as protecting national security—without having to spend a cent.

Seriously though, those loyalty tests were a crucial element in that broad campaign of political repression, otherwise known as McCarthyism, that narrowed the American political spectrum by penalizing dissent during the early Cold War.

Robert Kuttner. On Loyalty in the Era of Trump. Political opportunism and betrayal are rife in the age of Trump—the opposite of principled loyalty. These trends are only a caricature of a broader loyalty-destroying hallmark of our era, namely the dominance of the extreme market paradigm and related set of behaviors. If everything is a market, affiliations are contingent. Loyalty is something sentimental, for fools, or at best purely instrumental. Market efficiency dictates that shareholders who have concerns about management just sell the stock; that owners discard longstanding workers, suppliers, other stakeholders, and entire communities, when business imperatives offer cost-savings; that landlords find ways to evict or jack up rents on long-term tenants; that private equity companies loot operating businesses.

The more that transactions are based on purely market principles, the more that loyalty seems an archaic and inefficient construct. Loyalty offers another useful lens through which to view the excesses and hidden costs of extreme neoliberalism.
