Our Betters Make Plans
Attention, comrades. My fellow heroes, titans, thinkers of deep thoughts. It is time to map out the world of tomorrow:
There are no post revolution theatre troops, only post revolution mine troops, comrade. pic.twitter.com/ACIref7r9r

Because after the revolution, we will need accessible theatre.
Presumably, to take our minds off all the riots and ruin and burning cars. Earlier revolutionary rumblings can be found here and here. Topics covered include the pivotal importance of “artists and visionaries,” and the righteous washing of other people’s bin contents. Thereby enabling us to “eat from a revolutionary and resistance standpoint.”
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
No one ever volunteers to run the sewer system.
Or to wash dishes.
Or even to mop floors.
Useless people are useless.
I didn’t think you could map out tomorrow because that would require heteronormative time.
Is today’s word ‘rationing’?
So it’ll be like theatre is now but without the money or talent?
Can’t wait.
Or indeed electricity, or drinkable water.
Didn’t you hear? “Taking the money out of it” will make the dramatic arts “so much better.” And this new, improved and ideologically corrected theatre will be brought into being by the seemingly bedridden.
I can’t quite decide if it’s sobering or comical to be reminded of their presence. These shakers of the world. I suppose it’s handy to know that our betters include willowy men who wear eye shadow, and enormously fat women who struggle to breathe. Or comprehend basic economics,
But no, we mustn’t harsh their revolutionary buzz.
Who are they going to recruit to do violence in support of their revolution?
I can’t see either of these two running through the streets with a pitchfork, can you?
I suspect that stairs might be an issue.
Or indeed electricity, or drinkable water.
Then how will I get my g-and-t at the entr’acte?!

I used to think that if I earn the punishment of Hell, it would be being forced to attend an eternal production of Cats. Now I know it’s Cats with a revolutionary spin, i.e., rhyming dogma.
Evil.
Whatever it is, I think it’s kicking in.
I remember my father jokingly saying, “What’s the good of ya?”
I think saying that these days can get you arrested or something.
I propose a variant question: “what would you do, after the revolution, that couldn’t be traded for Deliveroo orders or cat food”
TBF, this one does need something to take its mind off all the gravity.
When she gets you dinner, but you wanted drugs.
[ Wrings out sobbing towel. ]
Spite as recreation.
“They’ll be fine. They can buy a house somewhere else.”
There’s a lot to be said for radical intolerance of antisocial people.
Mopping floors and cleaning toilets is what these would-be commissars should be made to do.
And if they behave themselves, after five years we’ll give them mops and brushes.
These shakers of the world.
TBF, if she can get out of bed she probably is, but seriously, when even your eyelids are fat, it is probably time to cut back.
Meanwhile, a similarly mentally afflicted lady scholar has thoughts about language.
You should say “reproductive health specialist” instead, but I am not at all sure if gynecologists are doing testicular cancer and prostate exams on women with girldiques, or if their urologists are also “reproductive health specialists” now also – for the inclusivity, you know.
And as the College Fix piece notes, the authors’ own paper is riddled with contradictions, failures to pretend. The convolutions multiply, as they must.
As I’ve said before,
I’ve yet to see a plausible ceiling, an obvious upper limit. A point at which, for players, the farce becomes too much.
“Hello. I am a vegan.”
I’m fairly sure that’s a skit, part of an ongoing series. Unless he just happens to have a very large number of utterly bonkers neighbours.
Didn’t he once have a neighbour complaining about the smell from his toilet while he was using said appliance?
Or was that someone else?
Now laughing as I type.
It’s increasingly difficult to distinguish satire from reality.
But then, didn’t David post once link to a video of eco-loons ritually lamenting at the tops of their lungs about “murdered” trees?
Absolutely.
Maybe it is just me, but it seems there is a pattern with leftists who don’t like the results of elections, regardless of where in the world they are.
Oh, I dunno. Maybe some third-worlders who already believe they’re ordered by God to conquer the world.
And then there are the people who play the “clown nose on, clown nose off” game.
It’s difficult to take seriously the vapourings of someone two Swiss Rolls® shy of forming an event horizon.
Well, yes, but, like everything else in their lives, they’ll do it badly.
More of that sweet, sweet, cultural enrichment delivered right to your doorstep.
In a more peaceful time, visionaries just grew their hair out and dropped out to find their utopia. Created communes. Opened vegetarian restaurants. Dealt weed to make ends meet. They were just as deluded but did not presume to impose their delusions on everyone else. Ah, good times….
I visited several of those communes back in the day. One supported by a rock band, one a way-station for drug dealers, a small one supported by an insurance settlement. Only one was sort of self-sufficient growing corn and such.
“She is fundamentally opposed to the system functioning as it’s designed to do.“
Another AWFUL. *shocked face*
“She is fundamentally opposed to the system functioning as it’s designed to do.“
With a surname like that, you just know she’d come out on the side of the criminals.
Why do I mention this, you ask?
Well because I believe that @David and Smil may share profound ontological concerns:
From there, our email conversation focused on bird feeders and how to defeat squirrels.
You’re welcome!
Or at least frustrate them,
Would that she’d get mugged by “migrants” while visiting the Reichenbach Falls.
The system is designed to protect people like her, too. Take leaf from her playbook and change the rules so that people like her are no longer protected. Sound fair?
[ Assembles squirrels on lawn, begins Phase Two. ]
Little known fact; the real reason Trotsky was forced out by Stalin was his failure to institute shitty communist theatre after the revolution.
Okay, there’s fat and then there’s FAT. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone whose face was so fat that their glasses sat an inch above the bridge of their nose.
University cafeteria woes.
Also, support farmers by not buying their animal products.
In a daring move, I raised the anti-squirrel cone by four inches and foiled Blackie (leader of the squirrel underground) who had learned that a long run and a flying leap could defeat my cone defenses at their previous height.
I just assumed that both these communist freaks were using some kind of tiktok filtering technology. I pictured them both sitting at their desks wearing shirts and ties and looking like decent regular human beings while putting the video together and giggling.
Meanwhile. Outside. The squirrels quietly gathered.

Blackie’s wingman, the equally clever Earl (Earl Grey), is acting suspiciously. He’s standing under the feeder staring straight up. I suspect he is doing mental squirrel trigonometry in preparation for the next assault.

I was getting the Optimus Prime vibe.
Universalising university hasn’t been the benison it was presented as.
Our betters: the statement that “there is some concern about rising crime” is stated as if someone was merely “concerned” and not afraid to go downtown anymore or go out at night or had been mugged. Like it was an abstract unreasonable fear. No you shit, people are terrified. Shops are closing due to shoplifting, even Target and Walmart.
Next new thing: trans-cats
there have always been nutters. Some of them were communists who destroyed countries. But lots were just harmless….until the internet allowed them to get praise and friends for being nuts. Shame, having been banished, no longer inhibits people from showing just how nuts they are.

Is SLERA an option?
I was getting the Optimus Prime vibe
That’s a cruel thing to do to Peter Cullen.
For those unaware, Cullen patterned the voice and personality of Optimus Prime after his older brother, a Vietnam marine veteran who had clearly seen some shit.
Is SLERA an option?
Not sure about SLERA, but I love to give one of these a go.
Note that the two black men nod in agreement as she spouts her evil.
I wonder if anyone has pointed out to them that denouncing fear of crime as racist is an admission that criminality is a part of being black. What the KKK said decades ago is now said by black radicals.
Why do all the self-styled revolutionaries assume that:
I wonder what would happen if you asked ’em?
She, (totes assuming her gender here) should be aware that after a real revolution there are always some who will think… well she’s well marbled and bets she’d be a tasty treat who’d scarcely put up a fight. Recall after the Sarajevo affair how the trees were all cut down for 50 miles away for a reason… nobody talks about that much though it’s best to always have a plan to be able to eat everyone around you. Just a heads up, not a promise.
Laugh, people, laugh. Go ahead. But they laughed at Jabba the Hutt, too, and he rose to be a galactic crime lord!
Sorry, but when it comes to foiling squirrels, nobody beats Mark Rober.
It should scarcely need saying, but the people who are making voters “afraid of crime” are the criminals themselves. The very people that our County Attorney, Ms Moriarty, is so eager to excuse and flatter, and so eager to depict as the victims of the dramas that they, themselves, create, over and over again.
And this evasion, and inversion, is the high-status view, the progressive view. And so she mouths it. Because her social status matters much more than the wellbeing, even the lives, of the actual victims – and future victims – of the creatures she excuses. And when you’re chasing status among the pretentious, invoking “white supremacy” and other imaginary phenomena is the way to go.
And our County Attorney complains about the use of the word predator – when referring to people who prey on others, violently, over and over again. As if a realistic descriptor were much too mean to those tender darlings who repeatedly violate and terrify others and who exult in doing so. Seemingly with impunity.
It’s an absurd position, utterly unrealistic, and morally degenerate. As Wanye Burkett says, “You need these people as far from the levers as possible.”
Which in turn calls to mind the London riots of 2011, during which Laurie Penny used her platform on the BBC’s World Tonight to complain, pretentiously and at length, about the use of the term feral to describe thugs and looters who were mugging children, brutalising firefighters, and setting fire to people’s homes, seemingly for entertainment, and resulting in scenes such as this:
As if the creatures doing this, often while laughing, might have their feelings hurt.
The same, sick dance.
Regarding Ms Moriarty and her practised evasions, this comes to mind:
Via Instapundit.
And this thing here seems not entirely unrelated.
In my experience, progressives are likely to take their moral cues from fictions and fantasies – whether that be Star Wars or the grotesque sainthood of George Floyd.
That. But they think *they’re* the good guys…
Well, if you’re talking about a contentious issue with someone who is chiefly concerned about how a point of view or statement of fact will impact their social standing, their position within some peer-group, then appeals to facts and logic will likely fail. You may manage to irritate them, or make them resentful, but the chances of a significant and lasting amendment of their status-conferring position seem… slim.
It’s an entirely different, and incompatible, decision-making process.
Seemingly with impunity.
“I just wanna say aaaaaaahhh!“
I laughed and I’m not sorry. They belong in landfill.
They belong in landfill.
Indeed, and these dirtbags having earlier attacked a rabbi, a vice chancellor, a guard, and an alleged journalist, the faculty takes a strong stance that will no doubt end the violence and bring peace to both the campus and Gaza.
When they build that ‘B’ Ark, it’s going to need a hell of a lot of thrust to get off the ground….
The bad guys are using the stupid as tools…

As Instapundit often quips, “Maybe letting the enemies of our civilisation teach our children was a mistake.”
So. Much. That.
When will the hateful hate end!?
In West Virginia, also down in Florida, both red states, of course.
From what I can make out, inconvenient input is not allowed to have any emotional weight or to linger in the mind. Quite a lot, I think, is staked on that not happening.
Over the years, I’ve had many exchanges of that kind. More than I can count. At first, it took me a while to figure out what was happening. I’d had lengthy, quite detailed discussions that I’d assumed had concluded with some reluctant acknowledgement of new information – only to hear, weeks later, the same person making exactly the same noises as before, as if no demurral were valid or conceivable – and as if no conversation, or concession, had ever taken place.
It’s a little weird.
But once you fathom what the primary motivation is, and how little effect any argument or information you might muster will have, or be allowed to have… it saves quite a bit of time and aggravation.
So there’s that.

For quoted paragraphs, I’d suggest using blockquote (highlighted below in blue). Paragraphs of solid italics are harder to read.

At the risk of excessive repetition, leftists are deadly enemies of civilization. Treat them accordingly.
Well, Laurie Penny’s prattling, the recording of which now seems to have disappeared, was quite extraordinary. Ms Penny’s stern, rather pretentious disapproval was saved, not for the creatures who were mugging children and beating up pensioners, but for the horrified onlookers watching the news. The ones who found such behaviour appalling and who used the term feral.
They, supposedly, were the real issue. The real villains.
I should add that at the time similar sentiments were aired by other leftists. Including the literary Marxist Mr China Miéville, who claimed to be “horrified” that members of the public had used the word feral when describing the career predators and assorted thugs who, seeking excitement and a sense of power, had burned random women out of their homes. And who, on the arrival of firefighters, had dragged them from their vehicles and punched them insensible.
See also the closing paragraphs of this.
Again… same, sick dance.
Only extraordinary when compared to normal human beings. Entirely normal when compared to other leftists, who do not qualify as normal or as human beings.
And the literary Marxist Cory Doctorow who supported the London rioters.
David may then have to hire more henchlesbians. [ Shrug. ]

Insanity is a culture now?
“It honestly made me feel kind of womanly.”
WTF do these men think women ARE?
Just want to remind everyone that college profs and college students were in the vanguard of the Nazi movement, along with german intellectuals.
The weird obsession with not hurting feelings now extends to hiding mug shots, not allowing people to post doorbell cams of people stealing their stuff, and using euphemisms for criminals. Oh, and obviously hiding manifestos of mass murderers if they are trans.
Because the good guys, so called, think too highly of themselves to associate with the lesser intelligent. Which is ultimately…dumb.
When you consider the AWFLs and other women who tolerate them he’s not wrong, metaphorically.
From that thread:
The parallel falls apart when we notice that, unlike the un-housebroken puppy, the rioters never get shot.
from the link:
That “yes, but what does it mean?” reminds me of effete literary critics searching out the real meaning of works of literature. No effort is spared to discover–or often more accurately to invent–obscure meanings for things with no real significance or whose meanings are so obvious as to not require the “helpful” explication of intellectuals. (And nothing is more worthy of contempt as works of literature which anyone can understand.)
