Sow’s Ear
Lifted from the comments, some scenes from the University of California, Irvine, where great minds reveal themselves:
Resistance is saying “fuck this,” you know, “fuck the police,” or whoever the fuck you invited over here and then listen to us, listen to what we’re saying. And we’re not just talking out of our ass, like we’re smart as fuck, you know what I mean? We read books, and we know shit; we know statistics.
Oh, there’s video and everything.
And we’re not just talking out of our ass, like we’re smart as fuck, you know what I mean?
Said no smart person ever.
“We supplement our fartistic statements with verbal queef and relentless, aggressive dickery. And we know shit. All below the waist, all the time. Why do you think we like to say ‘fuck’?”
I know I’m not the only one thinking it, but somebody’s gotta post it…

As noted in the previous thread…
Why, it’s almost as if lowering standards until you’re admitting borderline morons and then pandering to their morony, and explaining away the consequences of that morony as always and forever someone else’s fault, and doing it year after year, at enormous expense, until it becomes an established culture of morony… It’s almost as if doing that has sub-optimal consequences.
Of course, it isn’t just the so-called students. Some supposedly professional educators could use a little polish too.
F**king hell.
How the hell did these people get *in* to university?
How the hell did these people get *in* to university?
Paraphrasing Inspector Clouseau, “Well, very simple: all they have to do is apply.”
I’m reminded of…
The captains of tomorrow. What a time to be alive.
“Well, very simple: all they have to do is apply.”
Also parent’s checks that don’t bounce.
“Stop talking like we stupid up in here, man! I’m not dumb and none of these motherf**ckers up here are dumb, either,”
she added while Parham invited the group of protesters to remain for the event, though the video concludes with a crowd of protesters leaving the venue.
Grateful for their valuable contribution, dontcha know. They raise important questions.
Some supposedly professional educators could use a little polish too.
I’ve got just the thing for them, too.
🙄
And one of them could end up being my boss.

Couldn’t someone just tell him to study a bit harder?
These ‘students’ need to experience the fear of being expelled.
listen to us, listen to what we’re saying.
We listened. it was just swearing. Come back when you can construct an argument.
These ‘students’ need to experience the fear of being expelled.
The odds of that are negligible, sadly, which of course is the problem. By the time these vain little monsters are at the stage of disrupting other people’s meetings and screeching profanities at people, cossetting and flattery have already become defaults. I mean, if you’re so full of yourself that you’re demanding the abolition of the campus police and denouncing anyone who disagrees with you as a “white supremacist,” then you’ve almost certainly grown accustomed to being flattered and indulged by spineless poseurs who’ll bend over backwards to excuse your behaviour.
Frankly, as soon as these creatures start whining about being oppressed on campus, they should find their belongings dumped on the roadside. It would save a lot of time and aggravation, and nothing of value would be lost.
Extraordinary! I swear it’s like being able to watch Aristotle, Pliny and John Stewart Mill take part in a debate.
Couldn’t someone just tell him to study a bit harder?
That, or study something he was capable of mastering.
Meanwhile back in Canada, Lindsay Shepherd, who we saw in the previous thread get grilled by the Wilfrid Laurier University Stasi, gets an apology from the president.
Of course it reads like a “damnit, we got busted” apology, but still…
…an ongoing series of events…that seeks to promote “understanding, appreciation, and acceptance while moving talk into action.”
In fairness, that event sounds like a truly tedious way to spend an afternoon. On the bright side, though, it managed to get a group of otherwise useless administrators together in a room with useless “students” for a couple of hours thereby leaving the rest of the campus in peace.
Of course it reads like a “damnit, we got busted” apology,
But of course. Here’s Douglas Murray on the Lindsay Shepherd saga:
And none of this is an error or some one-off aberration, as the archives here testify. The sinister farce above is an inevitable consequence of prevailing leftist dogma, granted power, and of employing the kinds of people who delight in such behaviour.
indulged by spineless poseurs
I’m guessing they’re not totally spineless. I’d bet they’re all balls-to-the-walls when the College Republicans or some such fail to dot an i or cross a t on their application for being allowed to exist. Of course it helps when cucks get all grownup about it and acknowledge their mistake.
I bet Laurier University has inspired Lindsay to go somewhere else. Anywhere else.
That apology has an invisible prefix: “My lawyer says I have to write this, so…”
Of course it reads like a “damnit, we got busted” apology.
Thus demonstrating Lindsay’s greatest sin: Exposing the Maoists to public scrutiny and ridicule. It’s nice to think she might find a different, more accommodating academic home, but I fear she has now become a pariah among the intelligentsia. It’s one thing to demonstrate insufficient enthusiasm for the orthodoxy; it’s another to air the “family’s” dirty laundry out in front of God and everybody. The university and Lindsay’s inquisitors will suffer no lasting harm from this. In fact, their status among their peers will undoubtedly increase. Lindsay however will now be a persona non grata within academe’s insulated Leftist world.

Yes, but for her that not be a bad thing if it causes her to reappraise her prior indoctrination and seek out a school and real major with which she can find a real job in the real world.
It’s surprising to me that Feminists have not jumped on board to defend Lindsay, who claims to be fairly left-wing in her political leanings. After all, she was berated by three higher status males to the point of tears under circumstances where it’s apparent that her inquisitors were enjoying themselves in the process. In the U.S., Title IX investigations have been started for flimsier reasons.
Don’t be too sure about that “real job”; after all, the indoctrinated have been taking over Human Resources and management roles for decades now.
Yeah, I suspect by now a job in virtually any HR department requires an Angry Studies degree.
Having tried to tar her as a ‘transphobe’
I can’t help but notice that it is mainly women who are suffering the pointy end of The Tranny Terror.
Not just Lindsay, but also the Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (we called them daft old besoms in my day) who got beaten up by mad blokes in dresses recently, women prisoners who find themselves sharing a cellblock with a male rapist and of course the women and girls exposed to the beefy swingers of the delusional men who have invaded their changing rooms and toilets.
It’s almost as if the whole thing was… pathological.

Instead, Ms Shepherd, along with those who expressed criticism of her treatment, are being accused of “upholding transphobic ideologies” and enacting “epistemic violence” on trans people. Because apparently, all trans people think alike, on every issue, and daring to demur from this supposedly uniform mindset, even in the most civil and even-handed way, is “transphobic.”
like we’re smart as fuck, you know what I mean?
smack… smack… smack, smack, smacksmacksmackSMACKSMACKSMACKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKCKC…
Yeah, that probably pretty much describes their thought processes.

Funny how they’re happy to “erase” trans people’s individuality. 🙂

Of course someone will have to pay for this. Three guesses, and the first two don’t count, as to who will be found to be the REAL ideological culprits behind putting beef swingers in women’s locker rooms and such. Hint, the same one’s now being held accountable for Bill Clinton’s behavior. And the worthless cucks on the right will fall right in line and let it happen.

It’s worthwhile to recall precisely what she did: She showed a clip of a nationally televised debate where both sides of a specific issue, i.e. the wisdom of legal penalties for not using one’s preferred third person pronouns, were presented. That is, she provided the context in a course entitled “Communication in [Fucking] Context.” She did nothing to advocate for a position. She merely acknowledged that such existed. As you have noted time and time again, the conclusion that bad faith permeates the Left’s attempts at engagement is hard to escape.
Funny how they’re happy to “erase” trans people’s individuality.
As I’m sure I’ve said before, you have to wonder if these dim, dogmatic clowns ever pause to consider how their own arrogance and hair-trigger intolerance reflects on the “community” they claim to represent. It’s been my experience that the most obnoxious gay people are very often those involved in activism and who imagine themselves as professionally gay, as it were, as if it were a job, and who portray themselves as speaking for All Gay People Everywhere. They’re generally insufferable wankers. And I’d imagine that there are quite a few trans people who hear activists mouthing this whiny, vindictive horseshit and then roll their eyes in dismay.
And we’re not just talking out of our ass, like we’re smart as fuck, you know what I mean?
I believe it means, “You better nod your heads ‘yes’ or things are gonna get broken here, starting with your face.”
Incidentally, and despite the seething of far-left activists, Dr Peterson has one or two trans admirers and there are trans people who are happy to chat with him about ideas without resorting to theatrical indignation or other passive-aggressive tactics. And in terms of trans acceptance, I’d suggest that the people in those videos are doing a much better job on that front than the perpetually indignant scolds found on campuses.

That is only an issue for a job in a that requires fuzzy qualifications in a fuzzy industry, and where HR are the hiring authority. It likely would not be an issue at Boeing if she were to take up aerospace engineering, of if she went to medical school, or at Merrill Lynch if she got an MBA from Wharton. OTOH, if she took up physics to combine that with her communications background and applied at the NY Times to be a science writer, yeah, she’d be hosed.

First comment on the second video:
“Interesting….so when there are no white noise machines blaring, no fire alarms going off, no violence, no one yelling idiotic slogans….a constructive dialogue suddenly erupts. Who woulda thought!?”
That.
That.
It’s a good discussion.
It likely would not be an issue at Boeing…
Farnsworth, if I’ve read the thread correctly, you are saying that Boeing HR would eschew the current insanity in favor of reality-based qualifications and experience.
If they still do, it won’t be for long. Having spent nearly 40 years in that company and being 5 years removed, I saw a steady erosion of the commitment to intellectual excellence and integrity and an increased acquiescence to the cultural demands of those who have come to be known as SJWs. It was very disheartening, and I’m glad I was able to finish a relatively good career before the madness completely took over.
If I misread you, my apologies.
It likely would not be an issue at Boeing
In the context of HR departments and who runs them, are you sure about that Farnsworth? My experience in the defense industry and even elsewhere in private industry, is that HR departments in most, if not all, large corporations, but especially corporations with extensive ties to western governments, are rife with these kinds of people. Very few HR people have technical knowledge, which in itself is not that big of a deal but additionally they are increasingly populated with non-techies who have a resentment of technical types. I think that was some of the problem at Google and elsewhere.
Ah, responded before reading Ano Nymous’s similar comment. C’est la vie.

AnoN & WTP – we are not yet at the point where one has to be a member of the party to get a job as an airframe design engineer, which is not to say that a member of the preferred identity group du jour might get preference in hiring because of “diversity” policies ginned up by HR pukes. Neither are we at the point where GlaxoSmithKlein is going to hire a PhD in Angry Studies over a PharmD to develop new drugs.
AnoN, WTP & Farnsworth,
Query whether the SJW types are kept insulated in their own little cubicles creating programs and aggravating the non-essential workforce, while the serious hiring and management decisions are made by the engineering teams themselves? I ask this, inasmuch as my elder son–dealt the worst possible hand in the game of “Oppression Poker” by virtue of his birth and upbringing–who has a stellar GPA in two STEM disciplines has had no end of job offers in the defense industry. He’s always dealt with the specific project managers themselves. Never HR.
In major CAPEX engineering projects it’s also never HR doing the hiring. But much of that business has been off-shored to “high value engineering centers”.
He’s always dealt with the specific project managers themselves. Never HR.
Anecdotally from a number of friends who work for an assortment of aerospace and/or defense companies in technical (engineering or otherwise) occupations, and that which you describe has been their experience, (which is not to say that the HR pukes don’t come up with ways to harass them with mandatory “diversity” training and the usual SJW gibberish), but HR had bugger all to do with hiring other than processing paperwork for the hire.
He’s always dealt with the specific project managers themselves. Never HR. & similar
In many situations, and I have been in on technical interviews myself not necessarily making the hiring decision itself/solo but having a significant vote, resumes can be cut off from the hiring manager or team by HR never getting them there. I have seen this happen, not based on politics but based on an ignorance by HR people of being able to understand/grasp the needs of the job (which can be very different from the published “requirements”). Yet I have seen the politicization of HR departments in other regards. It does not take much effort in my mind, based on my knowledge of these processes to be concerned about what is going down in these organizations.

I know that our ways are sometimes a bit of a mystery to our cousins in the former colony, so it may assist if I point out that the food rationing in Britain which began with the outbreak of WWII ended in 1954. On the 4th July as it happens, but that’s just co-incidental.
