Discourse Was Attempted

August 11, 2026 38 Comments

Being educated, a graduate, she didn’t understand the question:

Woke reporter SHUTS DOWN my Interview when I expose her as a racist.

She says it is not possible to be racist toward white people. When I show her that simple logic disproves everything she is saying, she is forced to get up & end the conversation. pic.twitter.com/MC3CaCRhzf

“You can’t be racist against white people,” says she, confidently, having just demonstrated precisely the opposite, and then doing it again.

The facial dynamics may also be of interest.

My own definition of “equity,” illustrated many, many times, would be something like equality of outcome regardless of inputs. Inputs including diligence, effort and ability. Which doesn’t sound fair at all.

But as we’ve seen, the church of “equity” requires elaborate mental contortion, via which, “granting access” entails denying access – say, by shutting down advanced courses for gifted pupils – and among devotees, “whiteness” is the go-to pejorative, a thing to be corrected, and for which the sinfully pale are expected to atone.

There’s a through-the-looking-glass quality. A fun-house mirror malevolence.

Should further, real-world illustrations of “equity” be required, a compendium can be found here, including the outlawing of even basic tests of teacher competence, on grounds of “disparate impact,” and firefighters who cannot read the instructions on their own safety equipment.

Now, ladies. About your changing rooms…

Update:

Our Bellowing Man-Witch shouts, theatrically, “I am the villain of this world,” as if he were a martyr, presumably in some attempt to elicit sympathy and thereby compliance. But in a non-trivial sense, he is a villain. As I said regarding this bestubbled maiden:

But what strikes me most is the fact that Mr Paquette doesn’t seem to understand that what he wants – i.e., the ability to coerce and dictate, to bully others into lying – is not something that he should want.

Wanting the power to make others tell quite blatant lies about what is and isn’t real, and to thereby make those people cowed and absurd, is what makes him a bad person. A villain in this low-grade cross-dressing drama.

The demand for dishonesty, the demand that lies should be imposed, ain’t a virtue or a basis for applause.

New Ideological Hemlines Announced

July 27, 2026 48 Comments

Please update your files and lifestyles accordingly:

Elite opinions change fashion faster than elite wardrobes.

When you express a luxury belief, you are communicating your level of education, your income, and your sociopolitical sympathies. It is an expression of what the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu called cultural capital.

You… pic.twitter.com/1UgebJRJT1

Mr Rob Henderson, speaking above and in this longer interview, has been mentioned here before.

The role of status-seeking in political opinionating, whereby a person’s professed beliefs function as a kind of social jewellery, the latest must-have, has cropped up here quite frequently over the years. Along with the inadvertent social gaffes that can arise if you’re not particularly interested in whether your views are perceived as suitably modish and high-status:

There was, needless to say, lots of face-pulling. As if I’d just loudly farted…

Presumably, because there’s no social status to be had in acknowledging the realities of the matter, only in being seen to mouth support for a fashionable cause. Even when the particulars of that cause, its actual implications, remain utterly mysterious and of no discernible interest.

Oh, and this came to mind – on the unhappy siting of adverts – lots of adverts – for assisted suicide:

Very on-brand, I’d say. Almost too on-the-nose. I mean, if London’s buses and tube network were suddenly to be plastered with huge posters saying END IT ALL NOW, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO, it wouldn’t be entirely inexplicable, or entirely dissonant with the customer experience.

Grass Not In Fact Greener

July 15, 2026 88 Comments

Via Pst314 in the comments, a tale of suboptimal decisions:

It’s scary. It’s legitimately scary. I decided that my mental health is degrading so substantially, being here, that I just need to get out.

Says the cross-dressing man in the floral pinafore.

This American man, pretending to be a woman, fled the US for the Netherlands for “asylum.”

Now he regrets it because of all the Muslim migrants who violently target him.

You can’t make this stuff up.pic.twitter.com/MBizjmHa3A

Our cross-dressing chap, whose name is not disclosed, fled some unspecified oppression in Mr Trump’s America and sought asylum in the Netherlands. As one does.

And so, our cross-dressing man now finds himself in the country’s primary asylum reception centre, sited in the village of Ter Apel, and where his fellow seekers of asylum – chiefly, Muhammadan gentlemen from Morocco and Algeria – are an actual danger, not an imagined one.

“There’s a bunch [of migrants] who think that queer people should be beaten,” says he. “It is too dangerous to walk from here to the grocery store because of the people who live in the camp.”

Sufficiently so, it seems, for the Red Cross and other aid agencies to have withdrawn from the encampment due to the violence, arson, numerous stabbings, and so forth.

A longer video, from Dutch PowNews, can be found here.

Readers will note the displays of the raised middle finger, a universal indicator of warm feelings and good intentions.

A mighty warrior. And a skilled deceiver.

And as this is fundraising week, which keeps this place here, do feel free to make use of the tip jar.

Open thread, me hearties.
