Have At It, Me Hearties

I was laughing right up until I clicked the ‘Francesca is a journalist’ link.
Apparently, she’s “challenging the status quo.” And so she says “stay woke” unironically.

She’s stunning and brave.

WTF is Corbyn on about? According to a Google search, there are only 195 or 196 countries in the world. Does the UK really want someone who can’t add up as Prime Minister?

One too many “Rs” in the headline and/or why you don’t skip high school biology

The next step beyond virtual reality, fully immersive, 360 degree, with total sensory input, and people actually call me a luddite.

“You know what we don’t see enough of on twitter?
People from former socialist/communist countries saying ‘let’s have another go at it’.”
heh

…the problem is white supremacy.
Yes, but what isn’t ?

But, remember: when businesses decide to move elsewhere to avoid all extra costs associated with being in a particular location, i.e. shoplifting, robbery, assault, etc., the problem is white supremacy.
Rinse and repeat. There’s more footage here, by the way. Note the masks and the air of impunity, even jubilation, as trolley loads of stolen goods are piled into the backs of cars and driven away.
The police were initially asked to stand down and let it happen, though after some deliberation a handful of the perpetrators were arrested. And it seems to me that exempting certain demographics from even the expectation of rudimentary morality, thereby encouraging criminality and what follows from it, ultimately does no favours for the people in question. It certainly doesn’t do favours for any law-abiding people who happen to live and work nearby.

No, but it does provide the Professional Grievance Community plenty of opportunity once again to fail to recognize cause and effect and whine about “food deserts” and the like because the nice groceries/drugstores/etc. bailed for the predominantly wypipo/middle class neighborhoods where, for unfathomable reasons, they are less likely to get looted in an emergency.

In a six-week period just 10 accounts sent 4,500 tweets to Sky News’ advertisers, according to analysis carried out by social media monitoring firm Brandwatch. Indeed the majority of all the tweets sent to Sky News’ advertisers came from fewer than 200 Twitter accounts, more than 70 per cent of which were anonymous. It is impossible to determine how many individuals operate these 200 accounts but you can be certain that most if not all of these online activists have multiple accounts purely for the purposes of their activism.

Fake outrage.

Don’t even,get him started on the pudding situation…

It certainly doesn’t do favours for any law-abiding people who happen to live and work nearby.
Recall as far back as the Rodney King riots in L.A., when some melanin-enhanced politician excused the mayhem and looting on the grounds that systemic poverty necessitated “mothers just tryin’ to get some milk for their babies,” under circumstances where “milk” is defined as televisions and Air Jordans. In other words, racism compels the looting and racism motivates a business owner’s refusal to be victimized.
It’s a good gig, if you can get it.

Some happy citizens of the Venezuelan workers’ paradise enjoy a day out in the countryside.

Damn wypipo and their… (shuffles Cards Against Humanity deck, picks card) breastfeeding.

Thanks.

So that’s two days in a row I got stuff f’d up. I’ll shut up now…
The henchlesbians would like a word, thank you.

Re: bensix’s twitter responses … this one

Replying to @BDSixsmith
Is a requirement for writing for @QuilletteM – aside from embracing scientific racism – that you have to be painfully unfunny and boring?

Is this something new the kool kids are pushing? WTH is “scientific racism”?

“We need a meat tax”
Better a tax on leftism in all its forms.

Is a requirement for writing for @QuilletteM – aside from embracing scientific racism – that you have to be painfully unfunny and boring?

My experience with Quillette suggests that the main requirement is a complete inability to express even the simplest idea in fewer than 1,000 words.

That’s why the demographics of NBA players, concert pianists, and Fields Medal winners is damned-near identical.
As Amy Wax noted recently,

There’s a paradox lurking here, which is that on the one hand, all good people are for affirmative action. That’s a sign of virtue. On the other hand, to talk about the predicate, the reason that affirmative action is needed, which is that there are these gaps in educational achievement and proficiency, is verboten. So we kind of twist ourselves in knots, in that we have to embrace something but deny the factual underpinning of it.

It’s the way of the woke.

Reluctant white male

The lift takes on other forms as the man ages, yet remains stuck in that phase of adolescent wonderment for women, keeping them on pedestals. The lift may still involve trousers, but less so. The lift he now seeks is emotional, like inclusion in the right groups, the affirmation of others, and most especially the openly expressed agreement by women that he REALLY is not like other guys….that he is harmless and safe… which is the utmost compliment.

“In fact, if you’re a man who ejaculates multiple times a day, you could cause multiple pregnancies daily. In theory, a man could cause 1000+ unwanted pregnancies in just one year.
So even if you socially engineer 99% of the boys in town to be a “reluctant white male” who wouldn’t dream of etc etc (not that the girls want him to), all it takes is one local bad boy, or a traveling salesman, to start an illegitimate baby boom all on his own. Traditional societies found it more reliable to socially engineer 99% of the girls in town to be chaste – the maternity services aren’t going to be overwhelmed by one girl who can’t say no.

Sam Duncan – thanks for the warning.
I reflexively click all links posted here, but was able to avoid that one.
Not a person who is typically squeamish – in my job I see and hear some extremely horrific things.
But for whatever reason animal cruelty/death is my ‘trigger’ (for want of a better term). I can never get those images or sounds out of my head.

So we kind of twist ourselves in knots, in that we have to embrace something but deny the factual underpinning of it.
That.

That.
