The Bedlamite Solution
The new student counselling director at Middlebury College has vowed to use “more inclusive” methods to treat student mental health, including a focus on white supremacy and social justice.
Ah. I think I see the problem.
Alberto Soto, who received his PhD. in counselling psychology from Brigham Young University, told the Middlebury Campus newspaper that… “The body and mind cannot be healed solely by self-care and focusing on surviving… At some point we must address and identify the source of all our psychic suffering, which is whiteness, heteronormativity, patriarchal systems, etc.”
When not using the word “whiteness” as a modish pejorative and “questioning Eurocentric ideas surrounding mental health,” Mr Soto plans to “challenge the historically-dominant whiteness” of the campus and thereby “create a more open environment for students.” This heavenly state of openness and resurgent mental wellbeing will be rendered upon the Earth by telling students at an upscale and statusful liberal arts college how oppressed they are and by invoking racial conspiracy theories, the aforementioned “whiteness” and “white supremacy,” as the root of all distress.
Readers will recall that Middlebury College is where students suitably gorged on “inclusivity” and “social justice” display their righteousness and mental stability by physically menacing elderly scholars, trying to trample them underfoot, and assaulting female staff, such that they require a hospital visit and, subsequently, a neck brace.
The Middlebury campus has spent the past few years cultivating its persona as one of the most active antiracist campuses in America… Yet at the same time schools have ramped up their antiracist efforts, mental health among students has only gotten worse.
Readers may wish to speculate as to why that might be, and why the phenomenon – a surge in students reporting “anxiety and depression” – predates the pandemic.
Annual tuition at Middlebury is a mere $56,000, excluding books and housing.
Black culture – actually, a sub-culture, even among blacks – was bad but diminishing. The ‘Great Society’ did much to institutionalise & buttress this sub-culture, halting, & in some cases reversing, the progress of the black community.
All these black folk talking about how they understand white folk. They don’t understand white folk. This black man understands white folk. Well the true red neck ones anyway. You might want to turn diwn the volume a skoosh.
Quoth Tahoma (Maple Valley Washington) school district’s “equity leader”, “There’s no safe place for BIPOC to exist, when whiteness is present.”
Doesn’t that necessarily imply that for the sake of the BIPOC, we should have rigid segregation? That the whole project of integration was wrong-headed from the beginning, and the South Africans had it right with apartheid? Is that what she intends to say?
Well, no, what she intends to say is that the correct choice is genocide against white people, that is to say, me and anyone who looks like me. I don’t think the white population is going to be down for that.
The industry publication said Disney, which owns Marvel, is introducing a system this month where people in a production’s main zone who have been vaccinated will wear a yellow wristband, and those who have not will not have one.
Well, you can’t say they haven’t learned anything from history. This time around it’s the Übermench wearing the yellow patches!
…her toxic radicalism is why they hired her.
Indeed, but what I found her amusing was ranting about the yte debil and claiming…
…and that BIPOCs can’t achieve the “American Dream” as she wanders through what appears to be a typical well appointed middle class home (as one gets with the average “American Dream”).
Letitia Wright denies airing anti-vaccine views on Black Panther 2 set
“Disney, which owns Marvel, is introducing a system this month where people in a production’s main zone who have been vaccinated will wear a yellow wristband, and those who have not will not have one.”
At some point, actors like Letitia Wright are going to have to follow Jon Voight, Ron Silver, Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, Adam Baldwin, et al and just say “you know what, I’ve made enough money to comfortably retire. I’m walking away from this.” Wright could sink the sequel if she walks, it’s commonly assumed she’s slated to be the next Panther.
Also I note the MCU is introducing the sociopathic Riri Williams, which ought to be good for a hoot.

So clicked on said linkage – WTF? This broad is whiter than me… and outweighs me by a few hundred meals.
Ah well.
WTF? This broad is whiter than me…
I suspect this PoP appearing lot claiming to be BIPOC will trot out the old “One Drop” rule and have some sort of identifying QR code or something, it being the progressive way.

Might I suggest another colour-coded armband?
As was pointed out at Takimag (IIRC) some time ago, many of the loudest honkers in this Great Enracening are 1/2 black at most, and were raised comfortably in middle-and-above income, mostly white areas. They are narcissists latching on to being “black” as the lowest effort path to importance.

This kind of identitarian attitude – being, as it were, professionally black or whatever – is also a way to compensate for not having much in the way of an individual personality. Instead of a personality – or at least one that’s remotely tolerable – you can instead have a cartoon identity, ready to wear. And in which, the script is already written and the star is always you.
On a lighter note, speaking of stereotypes…
1/2 black at most
Given the available research on adopted children’s difficulty coping with a lack of genetic connection to their adoptive family, I wonder if there isn’t a similar disconnect at play in mixed-race children of middle-class parents.

Yet another way in which the woke are indistinguishable from teenage girls. To continue an earlier thread about unintentional red-pilling, the final episode of MTV’s tedious cartoon Daria accidentally sent the message that the only truly happy character in the series was the terminally unhip band geek, because he legitimately didn’t care what anyone else thought of him and wasn’t trying to be anything but himself. He ends up with the “dumb” cheerleader he’s been hitting on the whole time because he’s the only one not trying to turn her into something she’s not.
While setting someone straight on DEFCON levels at work I ran across this on Wikipedia:
Do not tell me that it is no longer possible to make a good James Bond film.
Where is everybody?

The archetypal Mean Girl does seem to be the preferred template.
And as a bonus, when people object to your shortcomings as a human being and choose to avoid you, you can always blame any avoidance on racism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, etc. As a way to avoid acknowledging unflattering realities – say, being a tiresome, shitty person – it’s quite effective, and widely employed.

Re-reading that thread, I found this comment from Adam: “There are 1415 actual activists in the US, inclusive of all issues and causes.”
How is he so sure? Have they all been hunted down and tagged? And if not, why not?
