Scenes From Woketopia

*squints*
I can’t see any black people.

It has to be said, the optics are rather… curious. They’re building a woke utopia in which admission to a wide-open public space is policed, largely by middle-class white students, on grounds of race. You see, they only want black people in the fields.

The scary thing is, it looks increasingly like that is what they want.

Incidentally, there was an “essay” on BBC Radio 4 this morning (for non-UK readers, R4 is the flagship broadcaster for establishment wokeism) on which Niall Ferguson spoke about using the opportunities of a post-Covid world to address the problems of state bureaucracies that “so badly failed to deal with this crisis”, and “those universities that were more interested in propagating woke ideology than teaching all that can profitably learned from the human past” and “those media institutions that insisted on covering [the pandemic] as if it were all a function the foibles of a few presidents, prime ministers and advisers”. He adds that killing off those insitutions that are stagnating, might mean we can see a return to progress.
This said, on Radio 4? Surely I dreamed it?
Nope, I checked. Radio 4 really did permit those sentiments to be expressed. No doubt they will “balance it out” with 500 shouty marxists, but it seems nonethleless like a tiny green shoot of progress…

No doubt they will “balance it out” with 500 shouty Marxists,
Not unlike the insufferable Thinking Allowed programme, which affects an air of intellectual sophistication and great moral depth while begging endless questions and airing assumptions favoured by unironic Guardian readers. Consequently, the most extraordinary pseudo-intellectual horseshit is treated with great deference, and we’re expected to applaud “debates” in which two shameless race hustlers agree with each other about how “white culture is a racist culture,” things of that sort, while a third person dutifully defers.
And instead of widening the listener’s horizons, as it claims, the programme more typically feels claustrophobic and parochial. A tiny group of people with eerily similar views congratulating each other, and thereby themselves.

Band name.

I left a comment on the previous thread about what seemed to me a particularly outrageous lie for the “greater good” by Dr Fauci concerning the efficacy of face masks.
It seems the plot thickens because this “expert” then went on to complain about how people are mysteriously failing to religiously believe The Science™.
What an utter twat!

Also, define “healing”. How is it measured?
Presumably, they’re recovering from all that terrible racial contamination.

Pretty sure the finish line will be when the trauma of being black is reduced to the point where a young black woman allows her baby to come to term, insists that the father stick around to help raise the child, insists that the local school provide a quality education and that the child studies diligently.
I believe the first step is finding a term to replace “acting white” when describing somebody behaving responsibly.

…these are people who’ve been educated, possibly at great expense.
Nurturing a mark’s feeling of investment is important to the maintenance of a toxic relationship.

Have we reached peak iconoclasm yet?
Spite as piety.

I still have a hotmail account
As I said to my niece when I saw her Hotmail address, “You’ve brought shame upon this family.”

Because being woke requires double standards.

What reminded me that I hadn’t dropped in here today was running across a Guardian article just now (no, I’m not gonna link it. F ’em) stating that millions of Americans can’t afford water. See because it went up (supposedly) 80%…over a decade. I thought surely someone hear already read it, picked out the biggest chunks of stupid, and thus saving me the trouble. I know, credit note only.

“…running across a Guardian article just now…picked out the biggest chunks of stupid”
It’s annoying how many of the Brits I meet here in America seem to have foolish opinions of what Americans are like. It’s as if their intelligence has been lowered by an advanced degree and a constant exposure to the Guardian and BBC. Can the Daily Mail’s stroboscopic web page cause just as severe brain damage?

‘Full black’ LOL

I’ve become friendly with an old Air Force gentleman and his York-born wife. Lovely lady, just turned 90. Adores my dog. Feisty, determined, nothing stops her. A mind still very sharp as well. Until recently she swam 500 yards or more every morning. She says she’s determined to get back in the water. Right now she’s stuck using (or supposed to be using) a walker, yet I see from pictures her husband (who is a bit more limited because he’s on an oxygen tank) posted that she was out in her front yard cleaning up leaves and branches from a rough storm the night before. Before we left for the summer we stopped by their house and we got into a bit of a discussion about the war/post-war years in the UK and who she stays in touch with over the pond. Her friends and family over there know that she’s a steady Trump supporter. She told us this has caused a bit of friction in the long distance relationships. Her best friend from her youth, whom she has known all her life called her up a while back because her friend was seriously concerned that she might drink bleach because “Trump said to”. I delicately asked if this friend, who must be about the same age, was possibly losing her faculties or such. She assured me not. I could tell she was a bit upset that her friend thought that of her. Then she let on that her family relationships have gotten a bit strained Over the last couple of years , she thinks for similar reasons.

At least she’s honest:
This is what you get when your ideology is a zero-sum game. For a group of people who believe so strongly in a gender spectrum, it’s striking how binary their thought process works. Oppressed-oppressor, winner-loser, power-powerless, hammer-nail.

Hotmail?
I’ve still got aol!

Then they came for the Bronies:

Because nothing can be free from censorship. I particularly liked how the author seems to find it problematic that Derpibooru
forbid complaining about content and instead instruct visitors to use the site’s filtering tools to avoid images they don’t want to see.

What better fate for Marxist revolutionaries than to be consigned to farm labor. We could even write work songs for them. Everyone in CHAZ gets a tenner. The organizers get a quarter.

The Woketopians are not the only ones captivated by race.

and 15 FBI agents worked tirelessly to identify a pullrope from a garage door.
It’s strange to watch what appears to be a widespread, seemingly contagious unhinging; some kind of collective fever dream.
