I Am Radically Repeating What I Was Told (2)
Cornell University’s “protest community” of around 50 or so leftist students decided to celebrate May Day by disrupting a farewell party and sitting in a road and blocking traffic for over half an hour, while sharing their wisdom with the world. Or rather, sharing it with those on whom they could impose their screeching. Among their collective insights, the following: “Destroy masculinity. Fight the straightness… It is not okay to identify as straight.” Apparently, “masculinity and straightness… exist exclusively to marginalise and profit off of other people.” The declarations of profundity are varied and confusing, and get particularly, um, emotional around 2:42.
R Sherman:
I wonder what the kid denouncing the police would do if someone were to attempt to relieve him of his wallet or beat the shit out of him for being an idiot?
The kid would probably find that many police care more about easy-picking crimes that allow for asset forfeiture, and not tough stuff like robbery.
Ivy League students say they’re “oppressed by capitalism”.
Did everyone just jump through the looking glass?
“Hey, Hey;
Ho, Ho;
That commie chant
Has got to go.”
“1-2-3-4
We don’t make no sense no more;
5-6-7-8
Our job is to masturbate.”
I saw this same garbage in the late ’70s. The people who participated on campus were idiots, but they were loud idiots.
“Hey, Hey;
Ho, Ho;
Have some ritual contributions from the One Pretty True Church of the world’s oldest and largest religion, all join in now;
—Wave a fist somewhere over your head, repeat loudly, until bored: Wave your fist in the air!
—Repeat loudly, until bored: No More Chanting!
After watching that, I’m starting to seriously wonder if there hasn’t been FAR TOO MUCH inbreeding among the Upper Middle Class for their own good. Their offspring are starting to show signs of profound mental retardation as well as emotional handicapping. Something should be done to prevent more damage. Like forced sterility. Or banning marriage between two individuals who attended Ivy League Schools. Or maybe forced gay marriage. Something. Anything. This could get bad.
“Intersectionality” is a sort of Animal Farm going-on wherein an elite attempts to form itself from the wet clay of the merely oppressed or cranky.
It is sort of attempt at making an oppression-Bundesliga out of the common, Saturday afternoon kicking-around of the unwashed-unwashed.
