Your Host’s Idea Of Hell (4)
So, anyway, in the nightmare, I’m trapped at the Atlanta National Convention of the Democratic Socialists of America, which is currently underway, and where the gathered superior beings keep triggering each other. Most notably, bottom right:
To recap: Mr Sensory Overload declares his pronouns and brings up “a point of privilege” – about how distressed and triggered he is by hearing whispering in the auditorium – and such is his distress, he uses the verboten word “guys.” This immediately triggers the Big Ungendered Flamingo Being, who, also clearly distraught, denounces the use of gendered language as itself privileged and oppressive. Given how one person’s complaint about being triggered instantly triggers another person to complain about being triggered by the previous person’s complaint, you can imagine the rip-roaring pace at which decisions are likely to be made. I suspect the toppling of capitalism may take longer than expected.
Update:
Mr Sensory Overload, pronouns he and him, is still unhappy.
Update 2:
God help us, there’s more.

Or, Wants to smash capitalism. Is triggered by gendered language.
“Thank you, comrade.”
The tovarishche with the jazz hands* are a nice touch, but I suspect they too might cause visual sensory overload and “trigger” someone. One hopes there are no epileptics among them.
*(dzhazovyye ruki, transliterated for the next convention, seeing as how the organizers [in name only] are going all in on the comrade crap)
Revise and extend, I couldn’t help but notice, particularly when everyone turned to look at Mr. Distraught, that aside from the obvious Comrade Commissar Madam Mao up front, there is a large lack of diversity* in that stalwart group of proletariat revolutionaries.
*(Does not include gender which can only be guessed at, YMMV, offer not good after curfew in Sector R)
“Can I call you a guy? I’ll call you a guy ’cause I know you’re not. And I’ll call you a guy ’cause you’re alright”
Dysfunction junction, what’s your function?
Smashing capitalism and pointing out triggers!

At this rate the convention could last for months.

I quite like the idea of those who imagine themselves destined to rule the rest of us, after correcting our ideological defects, attending a three-day conference, only for the conference to last indefinitely, possibly several years, due to a snowball effect of mass triggering, with the attendees unable to tolerate each other and reduced to states of tearful agitation.
Seems to me, some disturbers of the sh*t variety could party poop one of these conventions and just keep point of privileging a whole crap ton of further random and inane leftist things.
This seems like it’d be fun to troll.
I see mad people.

More than fun: it would be a mitzvah.
Nostalgie de la couche as politics.
“Nostalgie de la couche” as politics.
And to extend the metaphor, those who long for the couche are no damn good at changing it.
As a French speaker, I’m always amused by all this ideological anality over personal pronouns because it is almost an entirely English-language fetish.
Even if you did decide to make up your very own pronouns in French, they’d still have to be either masculine or feminine; they cannot be both and they cannot be neither.

That just shows that the Revolution must be total, comrade.
And when you say “revolution” say it like Trotsky:

Another moment of comedy from these nitwits – the event is at the
International Workers of the World Hall 27, “Solidarity with Joe Hill”Westin Peachtree Plaza (because nothing says “socialist” like Mariott) allegedly because it is but one of two union hotels in all of Atlanta (Georgia being a right-to-work state). Wait for it…If only there were a cause and effect someone could have foreseen.
I am also willing to bet that the triggered Clueless Joe Jackson didn’t get from Sacramento to Atlanta on Aeroflot or by riding the rails and hasn’t pondered this mystery in the meeting hall of a four star hotel.
So many clowns. Is the circus in town?
Are news media organizations still pretending these people are not in need of psychological assistance?
Mr Sensory Overload, pronouns he and him, is still unhappy.
Did he just trigger himself by saying ‘trump’…?
So many clowns. Is the circus in town?
Now, now. We mustn’t mock our betters.
“Up twinkles! Up twinkles!
Wait, you’re shaking your hands too violently! I can’t handle that either!
Dammit, why won’t anybody think about ME?”
—Mr. Sensory Overload (or is that Mr. Sensory Overlord?)
Mr. Sensory overload should expect a visit from the Cheka to his room over night.
It would be interesting to see how many of the complainers were still there on day 2.

I mean, whose to say that all those complainers who didn’t show up the next day were just too triggered and went home? Nobody needs to go looking for bodies.
Dysfunction junction, what’s your function?
More like “Dysfunction junction, what’s your malfunction?”, with this lot.
Oh-oh.
Fixed?
Everybody hide.
If only there were a cause and effect someone could have foreseen.
I was
scoldedtold by a colleague’s (now ex)girlfriend that my arguments were weak, and could be dismissed, because (I quote directly here) “you think that cause and effect are related“.The head nodding in agreement by her girlfriends, and the reaction to same, played a large part in her status change to ex-girlfriend of my colleague, I suspect.
It also prevented other colleagues who had been anticipating asking some of the other females present out was also put on hold.
I was subsequently thanked for “bringing out the crazy” before any serious commitments were made, and the primary colleague was thanked for “taking one for the team”.
Note: the italicization above appears to be the editor’s doing, not my own. I cannot turn it off, it seems.
Palate cleanser to above —
A lecture by Jordan Peterson – it’s a long video and well worth the time. But I want to point to the q/a at the end, especially starting at the 1:03:16 mark (I hope I’ve cued the link right). Go for about six minutes. If you have the time, finish the next 2 questions, especially where he talks about “gender fluid”.
[ Fixes overflow of italics, points to large, illuminated sign above bar. ]
This is why I don’t like leaving you heathens unsupervised.
Hopefully the end result will be a mass triggering collapsing under its own weight of contradictions producing something akin to a small atomic device.
“That just shows that the Revolution must be total, comrade.
And when you say ‘revolution’ say it like Trotsky…”
Heh. The Russian word for revolution is “revolyutsiya”.
And it’s feminine in gender.
BTW – I so so wish a Titania McGrath would show up at the open mic at one of these events.
a mass triggering collapsing under its own weight of contradictions
Faced with others acting out the same woke neuroses, you’d think they might register just how pretentious and insufferable their chosen peer group is.

For the love of God, someone please push in the graphite rods before we have a leftist criticality event!

If you embiggenify that second video of Clueless Joe Jackson having his meltdown, you’ll notice he has an antifa t-shirt on. I wonder if he only goes to silent riots so as not to have his anxiety triggered ?
And this is just the convocation. Wait until lunch, when they’ll swap their dietary neuroses. Gluten-free, free range, fair trade, vegetarian, vegan, the possibilities are endless.
Mr. Sensory overload should expect a visit from the Cheka to his room over night.
Will his bullet be vegan? gluten-free?
pst, your question is interesting. However, I used to roll my own ammo a long time ago, and I think the bullet lube was free of animal products.
Mind you, when I were a lad there was the Indian Mutiny. Perhaps we could spread the rumour in the Middle East that AK47 and AK74 ammo is lubricated with pork fat.

Does that refer to the DSA, or the failure to close the italics tags? 😉
or the failure to close the italics tags? 😉
Too soon. The trauma is real.
Jeff Wood: 🙂
Perhaps the most important question, though, is will his bullet assume his gender? 😮
Laugh all you want. In ten years, they’ll be in charge.
In ten years, they’ll be in charge.
No they won’t. But they’ll be responsible for ushering in the authoritarian bastards who will be.
Haha if I were in the audience there I fear I would be overcome by a fit of giggling that the triggering would start all over again.
Every time I think my little SJW is unrealistic, David posts something like this that makes me realize I haven’t gone far ENOUGH in depicting her. I guess I’ll have to join one of their discussion groups (we have an SJW enclave nearby) to observe the species in person and get a better feel for them.😳
I too wonder how long that “3-day” meeting went. 😄
Whoever mentioned all French pronouns being gendered—likewise Spanish. And, at least when I learned the language, a mix defaulted to the masculine. E.g., if there are 19 women and 1 man on a bus, they are “los pasajeros,” and not until the guy gets off do they become “las pasajeras.” I have not heard anything among average folks to make me think there’s been much change.
Jay Guevara: “Someone please push in the graphite rods before we have a leftist criticality event!”
You can’t fool us Jay! Stopping the criticality even involves quickly inserting the boron rods, not the carbon rods which will just further the chain reaction. But then again maybe this is exactly what is needed to resolve these meetings.
More like moron rods, to be frank.
