Place That Quote: Hitler or the Pope?

Even a fool can be profound taken out of context: “If someone tells young people to ignore their history, to reject the experiences of their elders, to look down on the past and to look forward to a future that he holds out, doesn’t it then become easy to draw them along so that theyContinue reading “Place That Quote: Hitler or the Pope?”

Late Night Nostalgia

I’ve long been a fan of electronic music. One of the first dj/producer auteurs to capture my fancy was Jack Dangers, who records with a rotating collective of fellow artists under the unfortunate name Meat Beat Manifesto.The name is not a reference to masturbation (at least directly) but to militant veganism and animal rights. AContinue reading “Late Night Nostalgia”

Plundering for Justice

We’re in the redress and appropriation phase of the civil rights movement, wherein the wealth and culture created by history’s putative monsters, white Americans, is being redistributed among non-whites. The tenets of the post-religious dispensation are Equality and Diversity. Together they posit a natural order, lost to white supremacy, wherein material wealth and power areContinue reading “Plundering for Justice”

Suicide Watch

The old joke Washington Post headline, “Meteor to Obliterate Earth, Women and Minorities Hardest Hit” works because it’s a fair description of a well worn media template, getting more worn by the day in our Current Year of Salon-Vox-Slate thumb-suckers: “social effect x occurs, protected class(es) disproportionately affected”. There’s always been an unacknowledged concomitant toContinue reading “Suicide Watch”

Scratch an SJW…

It played out like countless controversies: offense is taken, racism is charged, social media is mobilized, capitulation is achieved. Only this one played out in China: Dolce Gabbana has postponed a catwalk show in Shanghai after an outcry over racially offensive posts on its Instagram account that the fashion brand has claimed were written by hackers. Continue reading “Scratch an SJW…”

Mind the Gapped

The nation is so cowed by political correctness controversy isn’t what it used to be.When I heard a city councilman somewhere had used the phrase “master race” my morbid self rose to the clickbait, expecting to learn some poor soul went off-matrix and starting ranting about race and all that entails. But no, it turns out “masterContinue reading “Mind the Gapped”

White Women Wantonly Whiting

Via Steve Sailer, the Twitter account for feminist advocacy group “Women’s March”: “White women gonna white” appears to be a theme. From the organization’s website: We are outraged. We are organized. They forgot that 5 million women lit the world on fire two years ago. On January 19, 2019, we’re going to remind them when we floodContinue reading “White Women Wantonly Whiting”

Meriting Attention

Way back in 2007 a national crisis was initiated by the press over the prevalence of nooses, a symbol of lynching in the Jim Crow South, throughout America terrorizing blacks–all prompted by a series of hoaxes of course. I wrote a little satire (below) and thought I was being clever when I created, for aContinue reading “Meriting Attention”

Media v Media

Google’s Perspective algorithm is a tool for censoring “toxic” speech based on word combinations that isn’t effective enough for censorship proponents. (Who come mostly from media. Oliver Darcy’s efforts on CNN were crucial to the campaign to ban Alex Jones. They should just give him the Pulitzer. Come on, msm, you know you want to.) CableContinue reading “Media v Media”
