You Must Lie To Belong
Lifted from the comments:
On the first page of AT&T’s Listen Understand Act internal portal, the company encourages employees to study a resource called “White America, if you want to know who’s responsible for racism, look in the mirror.” The article claims that the United States is a “racist society” and lays out its thesis plainly: “White people, you are the problem.”
“Racism is a uniquely white trait,” says racist black woman.
A cunning plan
Better and cheaper plan: Ship all Democrats to Afghanistan. Or North Korea.
Perhaps a bigger feather would have helped
And identify as Morning Star Bare.
The lady has an impressive set of teeth
where she identified herself as “Morning Star Bear.”
“… So the first thing we saw in the morning is how we named your brothers and sisters. Why do you ask, Two Dogs F*cking?”
*da dum dum. Ducks and heads for door*
In my admittedly limited experience, Orientals are as racist as any other race / ethnicity.
But the obsession over racism will lessen considerably.
Speaking of identifying, can’t argue with Rita.
there’s a lot of money and prestige to be had by claiming to be a native,
Ah, but let’s not forget that being indulged and applauded, and having one’s career advanced, by default and seemingly regardless of talent, is itself a terrible burden, a cause of oppression, and a basis for self-involved whining.
Speaking of identifying, can’t argue with Rita.
That particular creature seems to be making a special effort to be obnoxious.
…and that reminds me of the more stupid and socially retarded science fiction fans who took a special delight in “freaking the mundanes”. There was a lot of dysfunctionality packed into that slogan.
Not if you deserve it for being white.
See also, the New York Times. According to which, “Every white person should be ashamed.”
David pointed out the woman (native amer writer) who was unhappy both with getting attention and with not getting recognition. What such people fail to acknowledge is that most writers (as an example) are not so good and do not become successful. It ends up as a hobby. Same with musicians, artists. It is not automatic that white people all get music awards or write a best-seller. In academia, not every grad student gets a tenure track position or even finishes school. So she ends up with imposter syndrome, which is well-deserved probably.
Educational Rita.
A chest shave could be a plus.

When these people finally reach their end goal of the end of western civilization and white people who aren’t not them, just who do they expect to be around to keep the lights on, the plumbing working, the sewage processed, the garbage collected, the food in the stores, their diseases treated?
The elites are not going to want to live in the Stone Age, and they certainly aren’t going to want DIE-promoted doctors treating them. Without any math standards, DIE-promoted engineers aren’t going to be able to maintain any of the tech infrastructure, once they get rid of all the existing know-how, of any color. They’ve mass-imported the Third World, thrown out standards for learning and achievement, and right now are coasting along on what was built up for them by those who they would condemn. So how do these elites envision maintaining their status quo after they’ve demolished everything that was holding it up?

Perhaps they assume that, as members of the ruling elite, they will get the competent engineers and physicians while the proles will get the incompetents. Or maybe they haven’t thought this through.
So how do these elites envision maintaining their status quo after they’ve demolished everything that was holding it up?
Some years ago I read an article whose thesis was that various technologies require certain minimum population levels. For instance, a society must have a certain minimum amount of wealth and industrial capacity and engineering talent (not to mention all the non-tech worker bees) in order to be able to have an airline industry, or even to have jet airplanes at all. Similarly for computers and all sorts of things. A world in which the vast majority of the population is uneducated seems likely to be a world which will steadily lose its rich technological/industrial inheritance and which will decline much as post-colonial Africa did.

First priority, though, is a gag.

Hey, as long as we’re in the top 1 percent it’s all good. Now go clean out my outhouse, peasant!
“That particular creature seems to be making a special effort to be obnoxious.”
They seem to think they can change what people think by changing what they’re allowed to say. Did the 20th Century never happen?
Also, “The official anthem of the 21st century clown world we’ve created for ourselves.” Can’t say I know much of Khachaturian, but I rather like it.
PS: That’s “they”, plural, by the way. In case anyone thinks I’ve come down with the pronoun madness.

Exactly! And I don’t think any of these cossetted race grifters and elite wipipo would want to live in that world, having grown accustomed to the modern conveniences and entertainments afforded them by our rich technological, industrial, and engineering inheritance. Even if they manage to enslave all the non-elite wipipo and force them to cook, clean, and maintain what’s left of tech and industry for the elites and BAME/BIPOC people, that which will be able to be cooked, cleaned, and maintained diminishes and deteriorates over time without any technological/industrial/engineering advancements.
Remember oh so long ago during Occupy Wall Street when all the protesters had Iphones and laptops and didn’t seem to need to work? That is what they assume the future can be like, with no effort on their part. The destruction they call for is an abstraction to them.

It will affect countries and societies differently and the effects will take a long time to be apparent. It takes time to run down infrastructure and expertise will remain for some time. However, in the long run it will be much the same as any other economic and social policies pursued by different countries.
In 1900, Argentina had the same GDP per capital as Canada. By 2020, it had a GDP per capital roughly 1/3 of Canada’s.
What countries will diverge to the same extent in the next century? Based on current information, any country that hasn’t signed up to the dismantling of education and which pays only lip service to the carbon net-zero targets will be the next century’s Canada.
So- where can I buy shares in China and India?

I think the deterioration would be much more rapid today, because our societies are so much more dependent on complex technology.
Exactly! And I don’t think any of these cossetted race grifters and elite wipipo would want to live in that world
Remember when Boris Yeltsin visited a small town supermarket while Reagan was president? He said something to the effect of “Even the Politburo doesn’t have this amount of quality and choice.”
“In 1900, Argentina had the same GDP per capital as Canada.”
The only overseas branch Harrods ever opened wasn’t in Paris or New York. It was in Buenos Aires.

“In 1900, Argentina had the same GDP per capital as Canada.”
“As rich as an Argentine,” was a common phrase during that time.
World War I put the kibosh on their expansion, when money had to be diverted to the war effort. The Depression didn’t help, either.
I’ve been working on a theory that certain actors have figured out they could pump up the economy, profit from the rise, then help it to crash and pick up the choice bits at rock-bottom prices. It especially helps if you have access to the levers of government monetary policy.

Does George Soros plan to buy up property in downtown Portland Oregon, and then call of his Antifa goon squads?

At our current rate of self-destruction, Canada will be the next Argentina. Not sure who the next Canada will be.
A world in which the vast majority of the population is uneducated seems likely to be a world which will steadily lose its rich technological/industrial inheritance and which will decline much as post-colonial Africa did.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of the population believes that the general level of education has never been higher–helped along by the education system which has convinced the majority of the population that a degree in blank-studies is an education.
The West is officially an Irony Free Zone. Oh and stupid is as stupid does.
Canada will be the next Argentina
I’ve been saying for some time that Canada is so far down the hole that the only way out now is Chile or Venezuela, and there’s no one who could even remotely be considered a Pinochet. Get used to the taste of pigeon.

Steve E, Daniel…Evita’s already in charge.

Education Professionals™, is there anything they don’t know?
In a way, though, I suppose that is accurate, but I don’t see where “Shove this BS up your fourth point of contact” is on the scale.
Evita’s already in charge.
Did you notice how popular Evita was, the musical and then the film? The enthusiasm of my liberal friends, and their utter lack of interest in the reality of Argentinian fascism, were a shock.
“… So the first thing we saw in the morning is how we named your brothers and sisters. Why do you ask, Two Dogs F*cking?”
“… and here is my wife, Four Horses”.
“That’s a beautiful name. How did she come to be called that?”
“Nag, nag, nag, nag…”
I denounce myself.
…the reality of Argentinian fascism
Mrs. Oik and I have travelled around South America quite a bit over the last few years, including three visits to various parts of Argentina.
The Falklands War between ourselves and the Gualtieri regime was forty years ago, and it’s only ever manifested itself twice; once in Ushuaia where there is a mural on a wall adjacent to the harbour which proclaims that the city is the “capital” of “Las Malivinas”, albeit said mural is a bit decrepit and in need of a bit of a refurbishment. It thus acts as some kind of metaphor for Argentina itself.
The second occasion was when we were in a taxi in Buenos Aires, crossing the Plaza de Mayo where there were two permanent demonstrations going on. One is staged by the veterans of the conflict, most of whom were conscripts and were never compensated for the wounds they received during the various battles. The second took the form of a silent vigil by the mothers, wives, daughters and sisters of the “disappeared”, many of whom were tortured to death in the ghastly “School of Naval Engineering” (“ESMA”)in B.A., commanded by Alfredo Astiz (who later commanded the garrison on South Georgia which subsequently surrendered with barely a shot fired).
Mrs. Oik is pretty much fluent in Spanish, so she was chatting away to the driver who, as we drove past the demonstrations, said “You lot did us a favour there. You helped get rid of that bastard Gualtieri”.
I denounce myself.
Well, keeps me from having to do it at our morning meeting…

“Remove as much subjectivity as possible in discipline and teaching.”
Isn’t objectivity one of those wicked whiteness traits?

It would appear that honesty and benevolence are also “whiteness” traits.
So honesty, benevolence, timeliness, hard work, courtesy, diligence, lawfulness, all whiteness traits? Wow, the woke really have a low opinion of POC.
My black neighbor worked hard, dressed nice, and was able to retire at 57. Guess he wasn’t really black but he sure had me convinced that he was. Oh and his wife ended up principal at a school before they retired.
Don’t forget that expectations of probity and competence are “devastating” to lesbians and “people of colour.”
Apparently.
Very OT and self-serving, but as this is the most cosmopolitan and erudite group of people with whom I have any reasonable amount of contact (no, really)…
Anyone familiar with Chinese culture such that would explain the need for someone of that culture (and maybe it’s just this specific family that does this) to splash themselves with water before entering a swimming pool? Why possibly the need to do this from a bathroom sink rather than perhaps an outdoor shower that (they may or may not know) is readily available? As a former competitive swimmer I’ve known people, especially myself, especially in cold weather, to do this before a race but not casually. Asking for a friend of course…
