Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One

“Relevant people” LOL

Professor Adjunct Lecturer Zenkus. I know, you are as surprised as I was.

He was trained by Vice President Al Gore as a presenter in his Climate Reality Project…

Well, that rather explains quite a bit about his tenuous grasp of reality.

Mr Breton “likes the energy” of threats to “fucking take” someone else’s earnings. So, I suspect that Mr Breton’s one-world peacenik pantomime is a Rizla-thin camouflage for a rather unpleasant personality. In my experience, it has generally been the case.

Nice touch.
Bonus content!

…A world without war will not happen overnight. Nexus will maintain a sizeable military presence all over the world to ensure all sides lay down their arms…
When they make war, it’s different.

I imagine if someone showed up with guns at Mr. Breton’s door to fucking take his wealth, he’d feel differently.
If someone takes his wealth, they should not merely take it; they should fucking take it. 😀

Pint of Bovril and Pernod, barman…put it on the slate…square up with you next time I’m in. What’s the latest lunacy? Oh…I see…

He also serves as an expert on family violence and trauma in television, print and digital media
Adjunct lecturer Zenkus is plainly anchored in the realities of life – or maybe, not.

I suspect both have serious envy issues.
A resentful, covetous leftwing academic? Surely not.

I suspect both have serious envy issues
And not just about money/status. The joke is they would never have the balls. I have more respect for the looting rioters peaceful protesters, they did just go and take it.

What if ‘Prof’ Zenkus earns more than me? Can I ‘f*cking take’ his stuff?

[O]r we’ll fvcking take it.
It’s hard to take seriously someone who can’t just say “fuck.”

He also tells us, quite emphatically, that “capitalism is theft”…
Well, seeing as how the average Columbia adjunct lecturer makes less in a year than the basic undergrad tuition, it is not surprising he does say in his bio he was one of the Occupy Wall Street clowns.
Of course he also brags about having given a single TedX talk five years ago, all 14 minutes of which you study here to raise your class consciousness and learn that money is directly correlated to brain size – up to middle class, which is of course undefined, but I am guessing anyone above the salary of a Columbia adjunct lecturer gets shipped to the beet fields.
If you like, you can jump to about 8:40 when he goes full Marxist with all the SJW boilerplate.
Don’t say I am not a giver.

Natalie Solent on Pontins and Irish ‘travellers’.
This last line of this part of Solent’s post: caught my eye in particular:

You don’t put Gandalf clip art on top of an announcement that is likely to be met with outrage. The writer assumed that the staff would accept what he or she saw as the obvious need to keep Travellers out […] I assume that there was an implied “after what happened last time” there.

Incidentally, an article from 12 January 2016 in The Independent,‘Butlin’s and Pontin’s accused of keeping secret ‘blacklists’ of Traveller families’, shows this goes back at least five years and probably longer.
I think it’s probably also worth noting that there’s been a long-standing admiration for travellers and gypsies among bourgeois intellectuals – at least in the UK – that stretches back at least to the nineteenth century.
The painter Augustus John for example, a darling of the Bloomsbury Group, took to the road in a gypsy caravan, taking both his wife, children and mistress with him in an early prototype of something like an experiment in anti-Capitalist polyamory.
It was a lifestyle seen as being in defiance of stifling Victorian morality and an escape from Middle Class peer pressure to conform and consume.
And apparently it’s a lifestyle that still seems to be popular with present day inheritors of that Bloomsbury tradition … which I can only imagine must involve some very practised turning of a blind eye to the almost certainly shocking rates of domestic violence against women and children in that community
Not to mention slavery of course.
And, no, that’s not a joke

Eleven members of [a] Traveller family with Irish roots have been jailed in the UK for violently exploiting at least 18 victims of modern slavery.
The Rooney family, who were based on Traveller sites in Lincoln, targeted homeless people and men with learning disabilities to work and live in squalid conditions for up to 26 years. Their offences were described in court as “chilling in their mercilessness”
The victims were kept in caravans without running water or toilet facilities, Nottingham Crown Court heard, while their captors wore Rolex watches, drove expensive cars and lived in gleaming homes that were “palatial in comparison” to their workers’ conditions.
Judge Timothy Spencer said the difference in their lives was “akin to the gulf between medieval royalty and the peasantry” as he jailed 11 members of the family for up to 15 years on Tuesday.

I read the link to Nexus Global and read it in disbelief

Once upon a time, in a land far away (depending on how far you live from the Aegean Sea), people lived peacefully for periods of thousands of years. It was a time when women and men lived together harmoniously, a time when technology was used solely to improve the quality of life for all. It was a time when all deities were women. The seeds for this prevailing order were sown as early as 30,000 B.C. and it continued to flourish and prosper until approximately 4,000 B.C. At that point, a massive cultural upheaval took place resulting in the structures and perspectives that pervade the present society.
Evidence reveals that these societies were essentially peaceful. None of the sites for towns were chosen for their ability to be defended. Rather they were chosen for their good water and soil, and availability of animal pastures. There is no sign of damage from war for a period of 1,500 years. Male domination was not the norm and a division of labour between the sexes is indicated, but not a superiority of either.
However, it is not human nature to be warlike because there was a time when we were peaceful. It is not our nature to dominate others because there was a time when we lived harmoniously.

How could an educated person write this? It’s just untrue. It’s so utterly wrong, it’s hard to know where to start. Where are the sources and evidence for these assertions?
The whole piece is just awful, brain numbing.

Natalie Solent on Pontins and Irish ‘travellers’.
Note the first comment in that link, which begins “…As the 1800s wore on, people began to distinguish between the ‘shanty’ Irish and the ‘lace-curtain Irish’ as a shorthand for noting evolving behaviour probabilities.”

And as a result, the reputation of said “community” grows ever more unflattering.
“Workers trying to clean-up a historic brewery ransacked by travellers were disgusted to find the place not only looted and wrecked but covered in piles of human excrement.”
Theodore Dalrymple has written that it is common in the UK for burglars to engage in malicious vandalism, including defecating on the floors and furniture. I have also read a few reports of illegal aliens doing the same thing in unoccupied houses in Arizona etc as they make their way from the border. Can anybody give me a good reason why such creatures should not be permanently removed from society?

if your chosen lifestyle is rooted in parasitism and a belief that, having turned someone’s field or whatever into a litter-strewn biohazard, you can just move on and leave some other sucker to deal with it, then other antisocial tendencies are hardly surprising.
That.

How could an educated person write this?
Orwell, “Notes on Nationalism” (1945): “The average intellectual of the Left […] could believe these things because his hatred for the British ruling class forbade him to admit that British plans could succeed. There is no limit to the follies that can be swallowed if one is under the influence of feelings of this kind. I have heard it confidently stated, for instance, that the American troops had been brought to Europe not to fight the Germans but to crush an English revolution. One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool.“

Interesting that these people never call out the super-rich by name. Republicans need to start pressing this crap. Let’s go all-in on taxing the super-rich, yes. Make Bill Gates, Jeff Bozos, the Google Boys, Warren Buffet, etc. defend why they should not take a haircut. Why should they have billions and billions of dollars? One billion should be enough for anyone. Call them out by name. Make them defend themselves. Put AOC and similar idiots in the uncomfortable position. These rich bastards have already turned on the rest of us, why do we continue to defend them?

Meanwhile in Chinese medicine… (NSFW)

Is that the semen extraction machine?
No, but the commentary is pretty funny. NSFW is mostly for language.

Ah, I see: it’s that Traditional Chinese Medicine that I am supposed to hold in highest regard. Was it John Derbyshire who commented that the Chinese are the least religious and most superstitious?

Is that the semen extraction machine?
Because someone’s bound to ask.
Is this a case of technology “doing the jobs that Chinese women won’t do”?
