Dishonesty On Demand
Or, The Wig Is Doing A Lot Of Heavy Lifting.
In the clip below, Calgary trans activist Victoria Bucholtz, aka Karla Marx, has words – deep, manly words – with Jennifer Johnson, a conservative politician.
Ms Johnson had previously upset activists, and much of the Canadian media, by describing the classroom propagation of trans activist ideology – specifically, setting children on a path to mutilation and castration – as a blemish and contaminant, akin to “poop” in cookies.
I think it’s fair to say the exchange that follows is not a triumph of reconciliation. It may, however, prove instructive – indeed, telling – though possibly not in ways that Mr Bucholtz intended.
Trans activism in a nutshell.
An aggressive, bullying man attempts to intimidate a woman into submission, demanding that she say something she knows isn’t true.

Readers will note how “listening to the community” is conceived by Mr Bucholtz as deference and prostration, and regurgitating things that are obviously untrue. If it sounds like a struggle session, hold that thought:
Readers may likewise wish to ponder the chutzpah of a gaslighting bedlamite demanding “respect” while simultaneously demanding that everyone else surrender their probity and become dishonest and absurd, mouthing lies as and when instructed.
Ms Johnson had also expressed concern about the use by activists, in schools, of pornographic material. Concerns that much of the subsequent media coverage sneered at or dismissed as unfounded.
I’m assuming that Ms Johnson was referring to things like this.
Because, apparently, “vagina slime,” fellatio, and “strap-on hotness” are topics of urgent moral importance for middle-school children. Children who need to know about the joys of masturbating while driving.
But ssshh, don’t tell Mom and Dad.
Mr Bucholtz – “(She/Her)” – is an “LGBTQ+ facilitator,” an “activist,” and “currently teaches at Mount Royal University.” His areas of expertise include “the history of emotions.” When not demanding that people tell lies repeatedly and in public, he is “an avid mountaineer,” a drag queen, and a “dog mom.”
Mr Bucholtz’ educational chops can be witnessed here.
One more time:
Because it’s a “basic foundational principle.”

Update, via the comments, where Rafi asks, not unreasonably,
Alas, I fear that if we pull at that thread, the whole sweater may come unravelled. I mean, if, as we’ve been told, quite emphatically, women can’t be transwomen, on account of being, you know, women, then surely only a man can be a transwoman. Which sounds like another way of saying, a transwoman can only be a man.
But hey, pile of yarn.

I thought I would chime in here on this video which had been posted the other day on Youtube by someone and I had watched it and so I thought I would give my comments on it. I have to say here that when I found out about this video and what Danielle Smith & the UCP had done to MLA. Jennifer Johnson,it honestly made me shake my head at this Disgracefull situation because it really made me wonder when did Canada ever turn into a Communist country or even Nazi Germany for that matter ? The reason I say this is to the Real actions of Danielle Smith & the UCP and them exiling MLA. Jennifer Johnson because they did not like some comments she made about the Snowflake LGBTQ+/ Trans Community and they coersed or forced her to go to some re-education camp to get brainwashed by some Freak trans Rep. Victoria Bucholtz whom by the way did nothing but Completely Bully MLA. Jennifer Johnson and try to force her into believing the Snowflake’s delusions that *IT* was a woman,which it was NOT
@SteveE, who said and quoted the following:
Yeah, see… This is how this works: The initial opening wave of the revolution recruits among the disaffected and the downtrodden, because everyone else is sane and well-off enough to ignore the blandishments of the revolutionary cadre.
What that cadre does is find the openings in the social armor; they get in amongst the LGBTWTFBBQ types and recruit, recruit, recruit. Then, once they’ve got their foot soldiers, they do what they can to outrage the normies by setting those transgressives on the rest of the social system, creating dissension and chaos.
Most of your true revolutionary cadre types are usually the driven, repressive blue-stocking sorts who just love telling people what to do. They will use the pervs and degenerates as foot soldiers, but the minute that they start to cross over into the spaces where the normies dominate, should they be successful? Those pervs and degenerates will be sacrificed on the altar of expediency. And, they’ll love doing it, ‘cos they’ve all this pent-up rage and disapproval of the people that they’ve been forced to associate with.
The pervs and degenerates are the opening wedge, easily recruited and directed at the normies they loathe, because they know that they themselves aren’t right in the head, and they hate anyone who is. Or, at least, who can fake it well enough to get on in society. The other thing that the revolutionaries like is that the pervs and degenerates are so easily blackmailed and taken out, as appropriate.
Do note the parallels here between all of these movements, whether it was the Jacobins during the French Revolution, the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution, or the Nazis when they took over. They all three had their equivalents to Ernst Rohm, and they all purged them viciously when the appropriate time came, in order to sanitize their movement for the normies. It’ll be the same this time around; the LGBTWTFBBQ types all think that they’re the leading vanguard of the revolution, but once that revolution reaches a certain point of penetration… LOL. Yeah, sweetie… Ask ol’ Unka Ernst how all that eventuated for him and his boys in the brown shirts.
To be a left-wing anything requires an historical illiteracy and lack of curiosity such that I’m not sure we can really safely describe any of these characters as fully sentient. I mean… How many times does something have to happen, before you start wondering if it’s happening yet again, and to you?
There hasn’t been a single successful “libertine” culture on the face of this planet in the entire history of the human race. Every nation that’s embraced licence and debauchery? What happens to them, mmmm? Can you not see the trend, there, and recognize that there are probably some quaint little fences belonging to Chesterton, in reference to all of this?
Ain’t none of this sh*t gonna work, and ain’t nonna it happening by “accident”. It’s being made to happen by the revolutionary cadre intending to tear it all down, and start over, but given the idiocy that most of them subscribe to, I don’t see anything constructive coming out of it. Ever.
more from that comment thread:
Dishonesty in another fashionable area:
The writer must either be a criminal, or have a lot of criminal friends, or is just another black racist psychopath. Or all three.
Yeah, see… This is how this works:
I’ve commented here many times, for many years about communism, socialism, leftism, progressivism et al. So everything you’ve said gets presupposed in any new comments. The point of my comment was that pre-communist system, the activities of all so-called communists is to disrupt and bring down the existing order. So they will use anything they can including every decadence and perversion to bring things down. As you point out, the exploited degenerates are the first to go when a communist system is actually in place. It is no less orthodox than other systems and has even less tolerance for non-conformity.
@JuliaM – I had a read through those snippets about YA fantasy/SciFi books. Quite staggering. Not quite Elidor or even Harry Potter is it? Just unrelenting propaganda wedged into hackneyed ideas.
Reply of note.
@Steve E,
I don’t think it’s so much an integral part of the -isms you enumerate, but it is more a function of “That’s how the revolution proceeds…”
Go back and look at early-days Christianity. Was Jesus Christ and his disciples working among the comfortably rich? Nope; they were out ministering to the prostitutes and so forth. Examine the history of how Christianity basically pithed Rome like a frog for dissection day, and then took over the body politic the same way Cordyceps takes over an ant.
This sort of thing is just how it all works, when the turn is on.
I don’t doubt but that similar things went on when other empires and civilizations fell. It’s a symptom of prosperity.
After her foot-in-mouth episode, Ms Johnson was obliged to make the usual noises:
Hence the video embedded above, the bizarre struggle session.
But again, if you’re not allowed to suggest that anything is amiss in the classroom, or that the situation is dysfunctional – if all you can do is approve and affirm – then that’s not much of a discussion. When practically any dissent is “transphobia,” and a basis for punishment, no views of any substance are likely to be communicated.
And in such scenarios, the “community” in question will almost always be represented by creatures like Mr Bucholtz. A man whose demands for affirmation suggest that he doesn’t actually believe his own demented claims. Which in turn would suggest that his demands are little more than a game of recreational spite. An attempt to dominate and humiliate, a kind of psychological abuse.
The very dysfunction that one isn’t allowed to mention. Lest it cause offence.
[ Schedules tomorrow’s Ephemera. ]
Note also that the writer claims to be a Stanford alumnus. Victor Davis Hanson and several other Stanford/Hoover Institution professors have commented on the lamentably “woke” culture there: Lots of leftist crackpottery replacing scholarship.
Baen Books might be better, as their editors are not “woke” ideologues.
The first two words of Mr Sinyangwe’s bio rather undermine one’s confidence in anything that follows. And so, his attempt to conjure victimhood and outrage reads as an inadvertent admission of an intensely, incorrigibly criminal demographic.
It’s a variation of the Scientific American article that denounced as “racist” the fact that contact-sport injuries tend to affect those who play contact sports.
Same kind of fudge.
Indeed. “Black activist” is as much a red flag as “proud Aryan”.

In other news of the hirsute…
I suppose the question is whether an expensive, super-woke education – $60,000 a year – makes a person more stupid, or just mendacious. Given Mr Sinyangwe’s reluctance to acknowledge any of the numerous factual and logical corrections provided by commenters, I’m assuming it’s both. A poke through his X feed suggests a certain imperviousness.
Among the law-abiding, the prospect of being shot and killed by a police officer is vanishingly remote. For most of us, it belongs in the same mental category as being struck by lightning. However, among habitual violent criminals, that rate is, for obvious reasons, much, much higher, which is how Mr Sinyangwe arrives at his rather implausible we’re-all-in-danger figures.
What he might have said, but takes care not to, is that, because of how they behave, and how they persist in behaving, if habitual violent criminals are shot and killed, there’s a roughly one-in-three chance that the person doing the shooting will be a police officer. (The remaining two-thirds being other habitual violent criminals.)
Of course, the fact that habitual violent criminals are being killed at much higher rates than the law-abiding might be regarded as a good thing.
Both. Lord knows, leftist professors don’t want to teach students how to actually think.
Also: Black Lives Matter should call itself Black Criminal Lives Matter.

That thing that never happens… Well, you know the rest.
I probably shouldn’t say this but…this f***d up sex predator/perversion/whatever bullshit is really getting under my skin today. It’s all so bloody stupid. The glaring, obvious neon signs flashing overhead DON’T F****G DO THAT, DON’T EVEN F****G TOLERATE THAT YOU BLOODY IDIOTS. That girl on the left…take away the stupid glasses, the stupid smirk on her face, and especially those stupid green Groucho Marks eyebrows and she’s a very attractive girl. Almost an exact look alike for someone I once knew very well. Absolutely creepy to me.
It’s also worth noting that, while efforts should be made to minimise the risk to innocents – say, those who just happen to live in the same sketchy neighbourhoods – the level of risk to innocents is generally a result of the choices made by the criminals, whose actions typically dictate the level of force required to apprehend them, and who are pretty much defined by a disregard for other people’s wellbeing.
It’s also ironic that a system built on disruption and revolution has such a low tolerance for same.
It’s not ironic. It’s because they know it works – that’s how they came to power – and disruption and revolution is a threat to the status quo.
Lansing seems popular among the publicly-funded paedos.
It’s never support for just one evil thing:
Drag queens are not trans! Self ID is absurd and leads to exploitation of the trans label for bad actors. Queer Ideology is Marxist Ideology. ‘Queer Activists’ employ all of the same rhetoric Marxists have using since the beginning and yes, this was an attempt at a struggle session. There. I said it. Let the hate begin.
The demand for a litmus test before even talking is more telling than anything . . . agreed. This person is only interested in getting a politician to cow tow to their contorted reality. This wasn’t a talk, discussion or debate; it was an ambush.
I am imagining David as a chia pet.
The writer must either be a criminal, or have a lot of criminal friends
It’s not that. It’s clever sophistry but he’s 100% correct. What he’s doing is carefully tuning his terms to exclude every potential killer except the police.
To start with, the overwhelming majority of murder victims (I’m folding in negligent homicide here) are killed by someone they already know. Stranger killings are vanishingly rare to begin with. That includes gang shootings, which are usually targeted and based on an existing animosity between the shooter and the target. So when he then says “the one organized group…” he’s already excluded gangs. There are no other organized groups that regularly kill people, unless there’s a Drunk Drivers Local 642 union I’m not aware of.
Take away the filters that exclude drunk drivers and gang shootings and the whole thing falls apart.

There’s a lone detective or DA who’s not drinking the Kool-Ade. This goes on in every school district. If I were cynical I might speculate that the public school teachers have been offered up as a sacrifical lamb to avoid anyone noticing the lack of prosecution for sex crimes and honour killings performed by the Muslim population in Michigan.
YA fantasy/SciFi books. Quite staggering. Not quite Elidor or even Harry Potter is it?
It’s worth noting that “YA” stopped meaning “books for teenagers” a long time ago and now means “supernatural romance for 20-something women pretending to be teenage girls”.
If memory serves, the ‘T’ in LGBTQWERTY+++!@#$%& was originally for ‘transvestite’.
[ Returns from hairdresser’s. ]
[ Points to hair. ]
I KNOW, RIGHT?
Yup. Oh, and Mr Sinyangwe goes on to cite an article that invokes “white supremacy” as an explanation for criminality among black people. Again, the “black activist” part of his bio, signalled first, as the most important thing, rather undermines any confidence in what follows.
[ Anticipates topiary. ]
If the ostensible topic – of inapt or contentious classroom content – can only be addressed in terms of “identities” – identities that are deemed by default unassailably “valid” – and if affirmation of those “identities” is a prerequisite – then there’s not much scope for “meaningfully moving forward.”
The game is loaded, such that only one party is ever allowed to win.
