Reheated (104)
For newcomers, some items from the archives:
Perhaps The Cardboard Has Magical Properties.
It’s a San Francisco vibe, so doing the obvious is out of the question.
By issuing little cards, they’re creating “new social norms.” To supposedly address the problem of having created other “new social norms” in which punishing criminals is deemed unjust, racist, and terribly old-fashioned.
But hey, if you’re travelling to work on a BART train and some deranged creep starts masturbating against your leg, or pissing on the floor, or you find yourself standing next to yet another knife fight, or overdose, or commuter mugging – and no-one else does anything, or dares to do anything, except watch impotently and demoralised – because even noticing such things is racist – at least you’ll have a little card to clutch. Apparently that’s something.
The thrills of modern gym membership.
You see, in the progressive pecking order, the fantasies of sexually dysmorphic men – and the preferences of male sex offenders – are of much greater importance than any “discomfort” felt by the women and girls on whom the former groups choose to impose themselves. Women and girls whose role, it seems, is merely to understand and tacitly affirm. To be reluctant accessories to some strange man’s psychodrama, while remaining free of judgement. Which is frowned upon.
Because the modern, not-at-all-insane response to repeated acts of indecency and sexual intimidation – by a predatory man in the women’s changing rooms – is to ask him not to keep waving his erection at women and children. On grounds that what he’s waving could somehow be a lady’s penis. Such is the sophistication of our times.
On fabulist “identities,” and malice with impunity.
The risk of being punched, vigorously, is important. It inhibits quite a lot of recreational malice.
It’s Trivial When The Victim Is Someone Who Isn’t Me.
Canadian socialist podcaster solves problem of all crime, everywhere.
Perhaps it would be ungentlemanly to wish on dear Nora some first-hand experience of the crimes she so merrily diminishes when inflicted on someone else, someone who isn’t her. Though it is, I think, tempting.
Behold ye this snapshot of progressive innovation.
For those craving more, The Year Reheated is a pretty good place to start.
I’m really not enjoying sharing the timeline with these delusional people.
Wayne, he makes a good point again:
It’s hard to see much common ground or room for compromise with people who will applaud themselves for betraying their own customers, and who will invert the meaning of words, such that this betrayal, this cowardice, is decorated with the word courage.
Not so much a miscalculation or mistake, as a feat of contrivance and outright perversity.
She no longer feels respected. you see.
The most ridiculous phrase in the Glorious Now! has to be ‘her penis’.
So “important” to have a Pinchbeck vagina that Ontario must pay for it.
It is unclear whether Ontario has to spring for travel expenses to Texas to get this done (on top of “court costs”), nor why this is not on the list of US stuff Canada is boycotting or if there a tariff.
Antipsychotics would be cheaper. And more to the point.
Why would anyone respect her? She should be disbarred.
Scenes from Portugal’s public transport.
Previously and very much related.
Even the New York Times now admits that the thing which never happens…happens:
(But of course the NYT has to insert an anti-Trump narrative.)
Antipsychotics would be cheaper. And more to the point.
Depressed or disabled veteran, we have a great MAiD service, depressed because no designer crotch, will that be a window or aisle seat?
Yes, antipsychotics, but it is not just the patient in need, I fear.
Ovid instead of the Ibram X Kendi, clearly a racist.
Sitting on the Capitol steps with your pals is just like facing down Bull Conner.
Was she ever?
The contempt Western governments have for their citizenry is palpable.
World War Z vibes.
“Isham, who in 2023 became the first Native American elected to the county’s circuit court”
I was warned years ago to not drive on highways passing through Wisconsin Indian reservations, as there was a very high chance that the tribal police would arrest and fine me for invented traffic violations. General corruption plus racism.
As I said following this,
In both videos, there is a symbolic resonance that one would think hard to miss.
Feel the diversity.
Sitting on the Capitol steps with your pals is just like facing down Bull Conner.
Wasn’t Bull Connor a Democrat?
Wasn’t Bull Connor a Democrat?
Yes, like nigh most of the segregationists at the time, not that I would expect any of them to know that.
Meanwhile, speaking of the classics…
Well, yes, but, you see, the party has become diverse & now includes racists from all races and ethnicities.
My primary and visceral response is that these people are visibly aliens, their looks and behavior activate my disgust reflex, and I don’t want to share my country with them. Is the clip being shared on Twitter without comment because a lot of people have that response?
My next response is to say that these bus passengers don’t share my values, the values in this case forming orderly queues and making way for old ladies. But that’s a secondary, rationalized, euphemistic wrapper for the visceral response. If they let the old lady off the bus I’d think they’re nicer people, but still not my people.
If policy could be made taking the primary response as the will of the people, the aliens would be turned away at the borders. But since policy can only just about be made on the basis of the secondary response, we all have to sit through lectures for the rest of our lives about how different cultures behave differently on public transport, and then go home on public transport.
Non-white liberals already know this and live it, their race consciousness and morals being fully aligned – whites aren’t their people and whites don’t share their values.
But for white liberals, this is just the values euphemism again. If your own people can have incompatible values, then it can’t be worse and it might be better to import other people who might have more compatible values. And the morality enforced on whites is that good whites know how to share their countries with non-whites, and if they don’t like it they still have to learn how to share.
Progress!™
I’ve known people of a progressive leaning who were almost comically conflicted about such behaviour – people who clearly found it repellent or alarming, as one might, but who tried to hide that response in order to maintain their progressive credentials, their in-group status as sophisticated beings. The idea of using the words primitive or uncivilised, or just downright fucking rude, would have been, for them, unthinkable.
And yet there was, shall we say, a discernible tension.
And needless to say, the melanin level of those engaging in such behaviour was very much a factor, albeit tacitly. Had some pale, home-grown ferals been doing much the same thing, tutting and condemnation – from a safe distance – would have been much less inhibited.
So, again, pretending.
“Give him a ticket” goes Metal.
But then, everyone who is in prison is a predator and must be treated as such.
It’s both strange and revealing that “progressives”
cannotrefuse to understand this.A recurring pattern, in many areas of life.
“Give him a ticket” goes Metal.
The metal makes it better but I’m still lost as to wtf is going on here. I could not listen to her screaming the first time I saw the video, but the metal version’s subtitles make no sense. I am assuming she got pulled over for something she did, but she’s yelling for someone else to get a ticket for no turn signal?
Googling woman screaming give him a ticket just brings up all sorts of stories but none that appear to be about the woman in question. I do not understand people. Never have, prolly never will.
Yes, she is screaming because she saw a cop make a turn without using turn signal.
‘May have some anger management issues’ seems a gross understatement.
I just searched YouTube for ‘give him a ticket’ and got this. There’s a further link in the description.
I just searched YouTube for ‘give him a ticket’ and got this.
Aha – thanks! I should have done that instead of searching the internet at large. The clip first posted here makes a lot more sense now. And apparently she does a similar thing again if I understand the link under the first video. Entitled and anger management issues are gross understatements.
When you hear people who live in that world say “burn it all down” – this is why
Government efficiency is not necessarily a good thing.
Neutron bomb – kill the people, leave the infrastructure intact.
Be reasonable: We don’t want to kill the janitors and cafeteria workers.
Fire isn’t notably selective.
Do they do my baby’s being sprayed with a fire extinguisher cards?
I’m guessing that vast amounts of monoammonium phosphate isn’t great for babies’ lungs, or indeed anyone else’s.
What’s dismaying, I think, is the air of demoralisation, of emasculation and collective resignation. As if the commuters had grown accustomed to being randomly menaced by low-IQ ferals. The emboldened Unspanked. As if they might somehow be spared if they just sat there meekly enough, doing nothing. Pretending it isn’t happening.
Instead of, say, shattering the fucker’s teeth on the nearest hard surface.
Saw that video just a few years ago.
Such ferals should always suffer “life changing” injuries before the police even arrive.
What was to stop us from stealing everything in sight? Most immigrants never truly grasp the significance of “trust” and “gratitude.”

The totalitarian mindset of liberals prevents them from considering that question. It is therefore vitally important to teach them through bitter experience.

Beast Lives Matter.
All around the world, it seems.
One thing I struggle to process, or indeed forgive, is the theatrical recoiling from any prospect of physical correction, even self-defence, and the conceit that being a moral person means becoming passive, emasculated and cowed. A state in which one is essentially prey, and in which the only morally sophisticated options are to stare at one’s shoes and hope it doesn’t happen to you, at least not this time, or to conjure elaborate excuses for behaviour that degrades everything around it.
Say, blasting babies with fire extinguishers.
As if being a moral person should somehow, conveniently, excuse you from having to act.
Net Zero.
Bills of attainder are a thing again.
It seems pertinent that those who have codified, and aggressively enforced, this passivity are themselves insulated from the effects of their diktats.
It also seems too obviously perverse to not be deliberate.
