And In Shoe-Related News
This just in:
Yes, I know. It’s a lot to unpack.
How many of those incidents were shoe-related, or involved insulted Barbie dolls, is unclear.
According to the Kleine Zeitung, the unnamed perpetrator, aged sixty and dubbed Franz, attacked his 81-year-old carer, punching him repeatedly and,
When subsequently appearing in court, Franz decided against wearing heels, perhaps wisely, and opted instead for “a chic sweater” and “delicate sandals.”
Franz, since you ask, was diagnosed with “a severe personality disorder” and a tendency towards violence, but was considered “still sane.”
The defendant also claimed that his fit of violent rage had been “provoked” by arguments over expenses, and his elderly carer’s failure to bring him toy cars, or any gifts for his small, plastic girlfriend.
Modernity, dear readers. It’s an acquired taste.

Of course. As I have said here many times before, and many, many times elsewhere, the MHP is rife with nutcases and morons. It is and has been quite obvious to anyone who wanted to see it. Much of our woke culture and the other civilization-off-the rails issues discussed here stem from the insanity of the MHP. This has been clear for decades, and even before that it was clear how the USSR and other communist countries have used it to control their citizens. Attempts to bring attention to this reality, as if additional efforts were needed, were not well received. Risky in fact. Don’t ask how I know, it would take way too long and really is unnecessary. It should be bloody obvious to anyone with eyes.
A good number of mental health professionals are educated at O&C. You would think someone would notice this problem. Especially the MHP who teach there. Smart people. Smaaaaaart.
“Dear God! Blocked!!”
Not only blocked, blocked with a shocked emoji – that is true horror.
Spasiba!
Meanwhile, an ACLU lawyer renders a medical opinion about 2 year olds.
Or, mentally ill woman and habitual deceiver, angry at the world, wishes to see children being drugged, mutilated, and permanently harmed.
Why don’t you listen to members of the mainstream medical community? That young man does. Are you anti-medical #Science?
I see why the Jaguar CEO threw a fit at the response to the advert now. He knew that this was coming and realised that they had messed up, badly.
I’m not even sure what their target market is for their new car? Rich, ‘campy’ gay, sci-fi geeks?

Who knows what they were thinking, but you know Kardashianoid types and rappers would be scarfing them up even though it copies nothing except putting a highly aerodynamic barn door on the front of a Chrysler Crossfire. “It’s not pink, it’s magenta!”. Henry Mancini was unavailable for comment.
Betcha that “interesting facts” about Chase Strangio will eventually be revealed.
The ACLU always had a lot of communists but today I wonder if more than a tiny minority of its staff are not pursuing one evil purpose or another.

Never say never, but I do believe the “liberals” of my generation are incapable of self-reform.
Via sf writer Brad R Torgerson:, some thoughts about the Bluegeoisie:
And this reply:
“The Bluegeoisie”. Excellent, although it doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.
The Left is trapped in abstractions. From “the proletariat” to “POC” everything is categories, not people. They cannot admit that a young black man and a young white man might have lots in common and even cheer together watching football. That individuals have different needs, wants, and fears, is not something they can grasp. Once someone is in a disfavored group, they are no longer human (Trumpers, Catholics, men).
They love abstractions like higher min wage without any concern about a policy working. Climate change is their ultimate abstraction. If they read the actual reports, even the IPCC worst case scenario posits a richer world in 2100, just not as rich as it would be without climate change. Forecasts of ice sheets sliding into the ocean and raising sea levels occur 1000 years from now. But instead of reading publicly available documents they go straight to “end of the world” crap.
Going by the image, she’s young enough to never have run into toothpaste without fluoride, indicating the source of her dental issues doesn’t lie with the water supply so much as poor dental hygiene. Her mental hygiene is likely no better.
Given the current state of it, yes.
Who says you need good intentions for paving material? Bad ones do just as well.
You’re not supposed to think like that. #HateLogic
Just the other day a highly educated liberal I know ranted against laws that allow paying below minimum wage to “cognitively impaired” individuals. She thought she was “standing up for exploited workers” without realizing (or admitting?) that without such laws these people would be effectively unemployable.
Her intentions being pure, there can be no bad consequences from imposing notions.
Well, quite. As the anecdote in the post about bus stop queueing – regarding the Radio 4 programme – makes clear. Noticing certain things is very much frowned upon. And yet, in terms of immigration, the question “what’s in it for us?” is very much the kind of thing one ought to be asking.
Why don’t you listen to members of the mainstream medical community? That young man* does.
That’s not a man, baby. And not even young, either. Far as I know that’s a drugged-up, mutilated, confused 40-something woman. Seeing what the mainstream medical community did to her, after she demanded it too, most likely, I’m not listening to a word they say.
*When I saw that pic of Chase, my first thought was “What a weenie!”. Then I remembered who that person was, and it all made sense.
Min wage: for mentally handicapped, a job below min wage gives them dignity, gets them out of the house, gives them some income, gives caregivers a break, and gives them some social life. Many autistic and downs (among others) love their jobs. Do gooders think they are being exploited but no one forces them to work.
My local grocer used to hire some seriously retarded people (mostly men). One day one of them dropped a gallon of milk, which broke, and he just started sobbing. A 40 yr old man. Without a subsidy or the ability to pay below min wage, the store could not have hired him at all.
Heh. My bad for not paying closer attention. And perhaps for not listening to the audio. But aside from that…well, our society is horribly messed up in a lot of ways. Not that it was ever pure. This is what happens when people surrender their thoughts and opinions to whatever everyone else says. Don’t speak up. Keep your head down. The nail that sticks up and stuff.
Nor can dissent be treated as anything less than evil.
Indeed. The do-gooder I mentioned thinks wages should be based on “equity” rather than value of work. She publicly longs for the abolition of “capitalism”.
Ten to one she couldn’t define ‘capitalism’ to save her cloistered life.
Indeed. If your kid borrows $10 to open a lemonade stand, that is capitalism. They openly love Apple and Ben and Jerry’s and Celestial Seasonings tea, as if those were not capitalism. The same people who imagine that gov ownership would solve all problems bitch if they have to go to DMV or deal with any gov office. Just try to get the IRS on the phone.
So just who does she think is going to make her next iPhone?
Oh, and by-the-way… Chase Strangio? That has to be a stage name, right? I could believe something like “Jenny Strange” as a birth-name, but Strangio? come on, she’s taking the piss, right?

All the way to the bank, sadly.
I tried taking that to the bank but I was shown the door. Unceremoniously.
Lovely call-out (via Not the Bee).

JK Rowling: wow she has a way with words. AND she is quite clear about 1) reality 2) cause and effect and 3) justice. I hope her words are prophetic.
A further note on “ending capitalism”. The reason that capitalism works is that idiotic ventures (or those that stagnate or lack imagination) fail and successful ventures (that meet human needs, reduce costs etc) succeed. If you want to see what communism does, a grand experiment was E & W Germany. In the East, life was drab, gray, and poorly functioning. People risked their lives to escape. When the wall fell, E. Germans just abandoned their Trabants in the street —they were that crappy. I read a western (maybe scandinavian? Brit?) defending E. Germany–“they may have been poor but they were more equal, which is what matters”. dipshit
Oh the irony!

Heh.
It’s astounding how many people are unaware of psychopathy and how intractable it is. The desire to “see the good in everyone” must feel virtuous — really virtuous — given how often people indulge in it.
But if you’re actually a reasonably virtuous person, you should have the ability to recognize the absence of virtue in others. I guess it’s hard for anyone to confront the fact that some people — even if there’s some “good” in them — are predatory, exploitative, heartless, cruel, sadistic, and operate without a conscience.
And that you can’t fix them, because they don’t want to be fixed. They genuinely love what they are.
Karen Mitchell has apparently done some essential, in-depth research on “dark personalities: narcissists, psychopaths, coercive controllers.” Her feed is chock full of ways to identify these awful people:
And
Are these idealists genuinely stupid? Lacking the cognitive ability to grasp incurable evil? Or are they living in La-La land in general?

It makes sense when you think about it.
I find attempts to excuse thuggery and antisocial behaviour deeply suspicious, almost like a tell. And the more ostentatious those attempts are, the more rapidly the little red light flashes.
The kinds of people who would see something like this, for instance, and their first impulse, at least in public, would be to contrive some excuse for what they’re seeing, while implying their own superiority for having managed the contrivance. Or this unconvincing bint. Or any of the other, remarkably similar creatures featured here over the years.
These are not, I think, people you would want as a neighbour.
That seems to be caused by sociopathy or malignant narcissism in the excuser. They see a crime, they don’t give a rip for the victims, including the damage it does to the social fabric. Their ability to see crime is impaired because they themselves have no moral compass.
This “Learning Together” program, OTOH, seems to be a project for do-gooders who actually believe they are doing good, but are also so naive that they’re easily played by the psychopaths they’re ostensibly reforming:
Brick stupidity, is what. No idea how effortlessly a psychopath can lie and pretend to be a good guy, utterly gulling the do-gooders while waiting for his moment to strike.
Well, it’s often the case that the message being sent is, “I am infinitely forgiving and therefore elevated, and if you or your loved ones are victims of criminal predation or some fit of sociopathy, I may very well contrive to defend the aggressor. I cannot be counted on. I am morally unreliable and will sell you out in a heartbeat, should it suit me, and when it matters most.”
This phenomenon is something I’ve experienced first-hand. It was, as you’d imagine, a memorable experience. Quite revealing of the type.
For some reason, this piece of work came to mind. The virtue-signaling via moral inversion is off the charts. She’s not naive; she’s Cluster B.
She’s doing her damndest to get rid of one’s right to self-defense and the defense of others. Absolutely AWFL.
We need more words to describe female pathologies. It’s a phenomenon that seems ascendant and deserves more attention.
And so, we have a statusful progressive woman who complains that “no-one was held accountable” for the wrongs done to her own ancestors, and who therefore – yes, therefore – tries to make sure that other monsters are not held accountable for their monstrous behaviour, their appalling choices. Depending, it seems, on how black the aggressor happens to be. Say, by contriving excuses for sociopathic vermin whose robbing of the elderly and frail results in death.
A robber who supposedly “had no choice” but to rob and terrorise the elderly, and for whom she “felt sorry.”
The word disgust barely covers it.
OMG, she said the thing: “so much more interesting.” In what sense is she serious?
Again, female pathology. The vice of our time.
Gad Saad calls it “suicidal empathy,” which is denotationally correct but doesn’t have the proper connotational impact.
The term needs to communicate twisted morality, inversion, perversity, sociopathy, sadism. Yes, “Cluster B,” but that’s something you have to already know. It’s not a self-evident descriptor.
Must noodle…
There’s the rub. Most people don’t encounter the most extreme types. Their only personal experiences are with the kind of people who are salvageable. Since the most extreme psychopaths, etc. are (traditionally) hidden away from them they assume that the only reason that they exist is they aren’t exposed to enough virtuous people like themselves. Only when the problem is brought to their doorstep do some of them begin to get a clue. For most of them, by then it’s too late and their own egos prevent them from admitting that they were ever wrong. It takes a new generation to see it and actually grasp how real it is and deal with the problem.
