My suspicion is that the Glen's stream of conscious monologue, whatever its
intrinsic merits and pedantic linguistic failings, is now a relatively minor
concern. The worldwide rise of populist proto-Fascism, and the concomitant
decline of the organised left that usually checks this, will throw more
immediate and threatening challenges to birds than specific taxonomy. It is
worth wandering the corridors of Breitbart et al to get a flavour for the
emerging paradigm's view of the natural world. Suddenly Senator Roberts,
from Pauline Trump's Brown Shirts, looks mainstream. We may need to start
worrying at the genus or ordinal level under their policies. Ciao
