Steal From Them, Not Me
Lifted from the comments, a worldview in snapshot form:
I filmed a liberal activist trying to retrieve her iPhone back from the homeless that possibly stole it. She encouraged them to sell anything they steal from “rich scum” but that she’s “nice” and “honest” and needs it back. She told @tarafaul503 and I she won’t call the police pic.twitter.com/STzxXlyDNY

You see, they’re only supposed to steal from “rich scum.” Not nice people. Say, nice progressive women who are, like, totally cool with the robbing of others.
Because lack of empathy for all is a sign of a ‘good person’?
Needless to say, Little Miss Righteous didn’t get her phone back.
Hard to know who to root for.
And for those who missed it, another collision of worldviews.
I suppose the idea is to make shrill, obnoxious noises and generally behave in an unnerving way so that the actual victim will drop the matter and allow Miss Meltdown to continue being selfish and antisocial, and to continue screwing over others.
Despite the tears and wailing, it looks a lot like a temper tantrum: “How dare you expect me to behave like a responsible adult? I hate you!”
Best reply: “She doesn’t seem to want to sleep in the sheets she shat in.”
Portland. Natch.
The video above reminded me of an incident from a few years ago, when I was standing outside the entrance of a supermarket and checking my phone for the whereabouts of the taxi I’d booked. A rough-looking woman in her late twenties, obviously a junkie, approached and asked if she could borrow my phone, which seemed to interest her a great deal.
I pointed out that if she needed to make a call, the enquiry desk just inside the supermarket door, maybe six metres away, would most likely oblige. Her eyes moved from the phone to me, and we exchanged a look of, shall we say, mutual understanding.
Needless to say, her disappointment didn’t result in her walking the six metres to the enquiry desk, where a call could have been made. Instead, she wandered off looking for other prey.
In yet another collision of worldviews, it is unfathomable why the Harris team failed to connect with real people.
What percentage of people are just evil Pakleds?
(I just noticed that I can’t be logged-in at home and at work. Apparently.)
Not smiling then?
On her part, something closer to cold hatred.
The whole thing was a little surreal. The mismatch of words and body language was quite memorable.
In yet more collisions of worldviews, one thing Bluesky has done is create a self-segregating midway of leftist psychopathology that charges no admission. Libs of Bluesky is a brave soul indeed.
The transautistic show off their flag. (Yes, people pretending to be autistic)
Yes, but what about the pedophiles?
Lady sings the blues.
A bonus – en verdad, this may be an actual piss take, but these days, who knows?
From the link:
I suppose that some of these people are merely ignorant and stupid (abjectly so), but most of them must know that they are not helping but instead harming.
We shoot rabid beasts, don’t we?
At the time, it was a fairly disagreeable experience. In hindsight, I’ve come to appreciate the educational aspect.
That is how, in retrospect, I appreciate my years in an urban public school.
“Reform yourself or be disposed of” should be the ultimatum criminals should face.
Experiences of this kind do tend to make fashionable dishonesties difficult to sustain.
But not impossible. Hence the kids who went to the same school but can today be described not unfairly as pathologically liberal fools. (The actual leftists belong in a separate category.)
Lady (I think) who gets (now) only $25 million/year for doing one show a week weeps because “Elon Musk Posts Dangerous Meme”.
You might have to go full screen to see the meme, but I guess if I thought I might lose a 25 million frogskin phony job I might be upset too.
There is a child missing a birthday cake.
Not from lack of trying as the featured guest demonstrates above.
This came to mind. It addresses fantasies about egalitarian education, but much the same applies to, say, crime or many other subjects:
The use of chairs to repel would-be bullies, mentioned in the previous thread, also crops up briefly.
Thus:
How about abolishing leftism?
Little or no first-hand experience of nearly everything.
Again, I’m drawn to an idea for a late-night reality TV show.
“Elon Musk Posts Dangerous Meme”.
Post gone.
Post gone.
Сукин сын, try this one, it includes the dangerous meme…
Apparently, it was a parody.

Sometimes criminal rehabilitation does work.

[ Bungs spoon in mouth, ponders. ]
It has an aftertaste of soap.
The spoon or the ice cream?
It’s the coconut in the ice cream. It has a soapy quality. This is what I get for accepting a substitution.

Substitute, lower-tier brand? Ice cream is one of those things with a particularly wide range of quality between budget brand and premium brand.
But then, there’s a lot of crazy in the education establishment.
Sean Connery knew how to deal with women like that.
It was this stuff:
It came with a pizza some time ago and sat neglected in the freezer. Now it sits neglected in the bin.
I am consoling myself with a gin and tonic.
“sat neglected in the freezer” may be key.
Good news.
[ Slices lime, pours another fortifying gin and tonic. ]
It seems to be working. And it has the advantage of not tasting of soap.
Have a few more and you won’t even remember the trauma.
It’s the coconut in the ice cream. It has a soapy quality.
Are you sure it’s not the white chocolate? I find white chocolate often has that soapy quality you’re describing. Gin on the other hand seldom disappoints.
Ah, that’s possible. Not keen on white chocolate. Especially when combined with coconut.
[ Glares at bin. ]
[ Slurps gin and tonic. ]
It has an aftertaste of soap.
Well there is your problem, ice cream usually contains actual milk and cream.
Haagen-Dazs pineapple coconut ice cream: cream, skim milk, cane sugar, pineapple, egg yolks, natural flavor (coconut), rum, salt.
I really, really don’t want to live in a Monty Python sketch.
. . . Except maybe Castle Anthrax.
It did to some degree back then. Then the psychologists and psychiatrists “fixed” it. The military has had similar success. Even for some of those who didn’t get shot at in anger.
100% true. Yet OTOH, some parents are horribly irresponsible and use it asan excuse to have their older children provide free day care for the younger ones. Or at least did 30 years ago when I mentored a couple. To be clear, I am 100% in favor of hime schooling and/or something similar but this is a reality.
