COVID-1984

Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer

At first I wanted to give everyone involved in the insanity of the left regarding the Wuhan virus the benefit of the doubt, we didn’t know what this was, and we were trying to take precautions to prevent the spread of a virus we knew little about.  With the new data coming out, and the revelations of the WHO being an arm of the Chinese government, and the fact that none of the numbers can be trusted from government organizations I have thrown up my hands over the reaction to this pandemic.

I swear it’s like there is a contest among the elite to see what stupid things they can get their citizens to do using scare tactics and a complicit unquestioning media.  Whether it’s wearing hats with pool noodles attached to keep “social distance” or it’s walking in the equivalent of a baby stroller to go to a bar in Maryland, this is asinine and almost reads like a psychological operation to see just how much you can demean American citizens before they finally snap.  We know that the Democrat’s prospects in November are grim, which is evidenced by Joe Biden being kept in his basement unless he is appearing for a scripted, kabuki theater prop, but I never thought they would take advantage of a contagious virus and brazenly try to destroy the economy just to get "Their Guy" elected.  

Americans are trying to understand the absolute illogical implementation of these “lock-downs” that governors are imposing on their citizens.  Whether it’s that they had to close down their small business, yet hundreds of people can pile into your local Wal-mart every hour, or that you are told that you’re not an essential worker, but somehow the guy who sells weed at a dispensary is. Americans have been remarkably patient with the government in trying to help their fellow citizens, but the mask has come off and everyone can now see that the majority of panic porn coming from the mainstream media, and the continued extensions from liberal governors is obviously more a mea culpa over them telling everyone they will LITERALLY DIE if they go outside.


The reporting coming out today about Donald Trump taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative is proof positive that the liberal media will destroy any prospect of this ending unless it’s on their terms.  Not only have they found a vector to funnel billions of dollars into their liberal pet projects,  the “pandemic” is now an excuse to leverage big government against Americans for things like climate change and universal healthcare.  Military personal are given malaria drugs every time they deployed as an anti-viral, and as far as I know there's no media reports of deaths, or of hundreds of thousands of contractors who received the exact same medication for the exact same purpose, so the media can stop lying to the American people with what seems to be the intent of exacerbating the pandemic as much as possible.

Unfortunately, Americans have shown the Left a road map on how they can implement sweeping measures to try and inflict their political whims with little legislative process. We need to ensure that one of the lessons we learned from this pandemic is that any chance that the Left has to seize power and violate American’s civil liberties they will. We need to make sure that we don’t become accustomed to the government changing the American way of life, and then perpetually lying to our faces to try and keep us scared.

...And to Them, You Are the Problem.


Herbert Marcuse and his gang of radical leftist/humanist pseudo-intellectuals knew exactly what they were doing. They knew you could not overthrow a free society by convincing the adults of their day to surrender their status quo and habits. So, they decided to invest in the children through education, media, and entertainment. Then, when the children became adults, they would reject the world of their parents and upend society for the radicals themselves. I give you the result:

The left is now living in some crazy high fantasy novel, where women have d**ks and pregnant men are on maternity leave from Victoria's Secret. The earth is to end in ten years, countries don't have borders, cops are villains and terrorist are religious scholars.

Poll Shows the “Racist” Charge is not Simply Policy, but Ingrained in the Democrat Party.

EARL DONE THIS

It stands to reason that when a party uses identity politics as its core belief system then the positioning of every issue as being racial will be held by growing numbers of members. While DJT's recent tweet-storm could be called ill-advised, the automatic charge of "racism" has raised some questions. To what race was he being intolerant?  Is merely having disagreeable words with select members enough to be constituted as "racist"?

For a large number of Democrats that answer is 'Yes'. Rassmussen just conducted a poll that showed a significant segment of party members consider merely being critical is enough to earn the accusation of intolerance. One-in-three Democrats polled think it’s racism any time a white politician criticizes a politician of color.

Note the significance here; it is not just racially-charged language, but any criticism is considered racist.

This reflects on what we have been seeing play out in the media for months now since the mid-term election. Anytime policy ideas have been challenged, or some of the many factual errors and false propaganda which these freshman members have put forth are pointed out, there has been a knee-jerk reaction that it is rooted in racism, or sexism, or both.

Tellingly, within this same poll it is seen that this tactic is not having the intended effect. Despite that emotionally-charged environment, the number of people who believed Trump to be racist actually dropped in comparison to a previous poll with similar questioning. The respondents were asked about these issues during the Democrat and media effort to establish Trump’s words were deeply racist. Yet while they loudly trying to sell the nation on this notion the result was fewer people believing he is racist, and more people seeing this as a purely political effort to smear him. That is a detail very few in the media are going to be pointing out.

AOC Suffers Third Degree Burns Over 90% Of Her Butt



ICE CAN BURN!

Much of the lackluster American intelligensia, or what passes for it, seems to have an inability to distinguish glib from intelligent (that’s how late night comedians became the thought leaders of the Democrat party). This is certainly the case with freshman communist Democrat Alexandria Ocashew-Cortex.

If any other human had uttered the patent nonsense that has emanated from this person’s mouth, they would have been given the Dan Quayle treatment long ago. But because of the effortless and pseudo-lucid way in which she spouts stunningly stupid statements, people claim she’s smart. Much of this is pushed by sexually frustrated hipsters who thing if they White Knight her that she may notice them. Seriously, when was the last time you heard a member of Congress praised for a high school science fair project? Or being called a “scholar” because you have a bachelor’s degree?

But what happens when she goes up against someone who actually understands the subject matter, who is smart, and who recognizes that AOC compares unfavorably to your random bag of clawhammers? We now have the answer to that. 

 I’m not going to give you a transcript of this because I want you to watch it.

We Need to Stop Using the Word Journalist and Call Them What They Really Are


Few will deny we now live an age of fake news and media propaganda. I recently asked a friend who worked as a journalist before pursuing a career in advertising if there was a Hippocratic type oath or a code of ethics for journalist. They told me there was indeed an ethical code or "canons of journalism" adopted by the Society of Professional Journalist in 1922. They sent me a PDF of this "Journalist Canon"  as well as an additional PDF of the "Editors Code of Ethics". I spent an evening reading through what I can only believe are principles intentionally being ignored by today's journalist. Here is a sample of what I found. I'll let you decide as to how far we have drifted away from what was a once respected profession.....
_____________________________


This is the SPJ code of ethics that we follow as professionals:

Preamble: 
 Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. Ethical journalism strives to ensure the free exchange of information that is accurate, fair and thorough. An ethical journalist acts with integrity. The Society declares these four principles as the foundation of ethical journalism and encourages their use in its practice by all people in all media.

The SPJ Code of Ethics is a statement of abiding principles supported by explanations and position papers that address changing journalistic practices. It is not a set of rules, rather a guide that encourages all who engage in journalism to take responsibility for the information they provide, regardless of medium. The code should be read as a whole; individual principles should not be taken out of context. It is not, nor can it be under the First Amendment, legally enforceable. Ethical journalism should be accurate and fair. Journalists should be honest and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting.

Journalists should:
  • - Take responsibility for the accuracy of their work. Verify information before releasing it. Use original sources whenever possible.
  • - Remember that neither speed nor format excuses inaccuracy. – Provide context. Take special care not to misrepresent or oversimplify in promoting, previewing or summarizing a story.
  •  - Gather, update and correct information throughout the life of a news story. – Be cautious when making promises, but keep the promises they make.
  • Identify sources clearly. The public is entitled to as much information as possible to judge the reliability and motivations of sources.
  • - Consider sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Reserve anonymity for sources who may face danger, retribution or other harm, and have information that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Explain why anonymity was granted.
  • – Diligently seek subjects of news coverage to allow them to respond to criticism or allegations of wrongdoing.
  • – Avoid undercover or other surreptitious methods of gathering information unless traditional, open methods will not yield information vital to the public.
  • – Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable. Give voice to the voiceless.
  •  – Support the open and civil exchange of views, even views they find repugnant. – Recognize a special obligation to serve as watchdogs over public affairs and government. Seek to ensure that the public’s business is conducted in the open, and that public records are open to all.
  • – Provide access to source material when it is relevant and appropriate. – Boldly tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience. Seek sources whose voices we seldom hear. – Avoid stereotyping. Journalists should examine the ways their values and experiences may shape their reporting. – Label advocacy and commentary.
  • – Never deliberately distort facts or context, including visual information. Clearly label illustrations and re-enactments.
  • – Never plagiarize. Always attribute. Minimize Harm Ethical journalism treats sources, subjects, colleagues and members of the public as human beings deserving of respect.
Journalists should:
  • – Balance the public’s need for information against potential harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance or undue intrusiveness.
  • – Show compassion for those who may be affected by news coverage. Use heightened sensitivity when dealing with juveniles, victims of sex crimes, and sources or subjects who are inexperienced or unable to give consent. Consider cultural differences in approach and treatment.
  • – Recognize that legal access to information differs from an ethical justification to publish or broadcast.
  • – Realize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than public figures and others who seek power, influence or attention. Weigh the consequences of publishing or broadcasting personal information. – Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity, even if others do.
  • – Balance a suspect’s right to a fair trial with the public’s right to know. Consider the implications of identifying criminal suspects before they face legal charges.
  • – Consider the long-term implications of the extended reach and permanence of publication. Provide updated and more complete information as appropriate. – Acknowledge mistakes and correct them promptly and prominently. Explain corrections and clarifications carefully and clearly.
  • – Expose unethical conduct in journalism, including within their organizations.
  • – Abide by the same high standards they expect of others.
It goes on the say "Act Independently" and "The highest and primary obligation of ethical journalism is to serve the public." I for one don't see much of what is referred to as ethics in today's media. And Truth and Integrity seems to be practices of mythical gods of the distant past.

It’s a Slow Burn Cultural Revolution

The Famous Statue of The Father of American Music - Stephen Collins Foster

The Marxist Cultural Revolution is alive and well in America, and has claimed another victim. The city of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania's iconic monument to native son Stephen Collins Foster, the Antebellum songwriter widely acknowledged as the Father of American Music has been deem offensive and the 117 year old statue removed from public view.

At morning' first light, the 1,000-pound 10-foot-high bronze statue that stood at the entrance to Oakland's Schenley Park for 74 years, moved from its original location near the entrance to Highland Park to prevent vandalism, was remove on orders of the city's cultural commissar public art and civic design manager, Yesica Guerra. Never-mind the leading citizens of late 19th century Pittsburgh selected the statue's design and commissioned the noted Italian émigré, sculptor Guiseppe Moretti to create it, and was dedicated with great fanfare in 1900.

Foster, who was born in Pittsburgh on July 4, 1826, wrote more than 200 songs, including such time-honored classics as "Oh Susanna," "Camptown Races" and "Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair." The statue had stirred controversy for years because it depicts Foster standing with a black man playing a banjo at his feet. The hyper-sensitive I'm offended crowd have described it as racist and demeaning to blacks(?) Others have argued that it depicts Foster gaining inspiration from a black musician. While some of Foster's songs contain graphic, derogatory depictions of slaves, he is credited with being among the first musicians to dignify and humanize blacks through his songs. He died at age 37 on Jan. 13, 1864 in New York City, with 38 cents in his pockets.

The city plans to replace the statue with a memorial to black women and has scheduled public meetings to gather suggestions before deciding on a theme. Perhaps a large black granite depiction of Michelle Obama's Ass would satisfy the shit-weasels.

It's Either One Or The Other.


Is racism a uniquely heinous offense against humanity, such that it needs to be treated as beyond the pale and outside the acceptable bounds of civilized society? Or is it so common that basically everyone is guilty of it? Because it can’t be both. 

If racism is an attitude of extremist cranks on the fringes of society, then the vast majority of us who don’t embrace racism can isolate the cranks and deny them the ability to impact society in accordance with their misguided, evil racist notions. But if racism is more or less in everyone’s hearts, and in fact that includes a great many people who don’t really overtly hate minorities and don’t mean anyone any harm, then how can it be treated as a fringe, evil belief? It’s one or the other. 

What the left wants to do is treat it like the existential threat the former scenario suggests, but nevertheless presume just about everyone in the country to be in on it. That doesn’t work.

You do have to hand it to Starbucks on this score, however: Have you ever seen a bigger overreaction to an isolated incident? One employee loses who doesn’t know how to manage a fairly innocuous situation ends up calling in the police, and the next thing you know 8,000 stores are closing for the day. Granted, this situation is tailor-made for activists who want to turn this one employee’s poor judgment into a global “Starbucks is racist” narrative, but is anyone surprised that Starbucks is essentially conceding the point with the way it’s reacting?

"You Owe It To Us" Says the Man Dressed in Women's Clothing.


It's inevitable that on occasion we all will see a man dressed like a $20 street hooker, strutting down the street in heels looking like a possible villain from the horror movie “Drag Me To Hell.” And most sane parents would try to divert their kids’ attention away from such freak shows to something else and remind them that, “It’s not nice to talk about strangers.” That seems like a reasonable strategy to me. It’s polite, it’s respectful and it helps parents avoid having to address freakish sexual proclivities with their innocent children.

But that's not a good thing to mentally confused, lipstick-wearing, dress-adorned “genderqueer activist” Jacob Tobia, who recently wrote an open letter to BuzzFeed to scold America’s parents and demands better of you. Tobia lectures parents about the proper ways to respond when he confuses our children by parading around in drag.


In the lengthy screed, complete with about a half-dozen pictures of himself in lipstick and miniskirts. Tobia complains that children often stare and point at him, and their parents fail to make use of the "teaching moment" he has so helpfully provided. "You have to do better. You owe it to me."

What??
"Parents, I’ve decided that we need to have a little chat, because you can do better than that. You have to do better. You owe it to me, to the trans community, and to your kids’ emotional development to do better. As a gender-nonconforming person, I get a lot of attention — both wanted and unwanted — anytime I walk around in public."   
Tobia insists that our first job in life is to affirm everything he does. This is the kind of insane pride that lies at the foundation of most of the "gender nonconforming" trend. And to really drive that point home, Tobia gives us a script we are to follow when talking to our kids about gender issues.

No, this guy is a freak. He’s an aberration. He’s not normal. That’s an objective fact. To Jacob Tobia and the other gender crusaders of the Left, I say this: We don’t owe you anything. We owe our children something though. We owe them a proper moral and intellectual formation, and we will not let you interfere with that process. We will not let you tell us how to raise our children. You don't get to govern my reaction to your outlandish pageantry. You don't get to control what I say about you or even what I say to you.

Self-expression is a right that they want to keep all to themselves. The rest of us must express ourselves in a way that conforms precisely to their wishes. They demand that we adjust our language — adjust our perception of reality itself — to meld with their delusions.

"Here is the script you must follow," announces the man who refuses to even follow his own biology.

CEO of Investment Firm Threatens Trump and Supporters

Ross Gerber is the Co-Founder, President and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management. He oversees Gerber Kawasaki’s corporate and investment management operations and is a frequent guest on CNN, CNBC, Fox Business News, and Reuters as well as a contributing writer for Forbes. He is ranked as one of the most influential investment advisors and Fintech innovators in America. The Gerber Kawasaki team oversees $650 million of investments in technology, media, entertainment and communications companies for clients and the firm. Just one month ago, Gerber appeared on Fox Business News to talk about how he took advantage of the short plunge in Trump’s bullish stock-market. Gerber gushed to the Fox Business host: 
“This [Trump’s] economy is phenomenal” and then doubled down on Trump’s successes by saying how much the tax cuts have helped the economy and the markets. We are very bullish” about this market!” 
But, apparently Ross Gerber is a world class hypocrite and has acquired an epic case of 'Trump Unacceptance & Resistance Disorder' (TURD) took to Twitter in what looked like a call for latino rabble to hit the streets and cause disruption, and another tweet that some took as direct threats to the President and his supporters in California.


Disrupting the Presidents Motorcade is not Civil Disobedience - it could be considered a threat to the President and unexpected consequences could occure.  And sounding more like a 1930's Brown Shirt than an Investment manager, he also directly threatened to Dox and endanger private citizens: “If you are hosting or attending the Trump fundraiser in LA we will identify who you are to the media and public."  He later deleted the tweet, but the Ladies at 100% Feed Up had the foresight to grab a screen shot. 


Gerber called Trump supporters “scumbags” and speculated about who he believed would be hosting a Trump fundraiser:
“Trump will be in San Diego working on his wall and west LA getting money from scumbags. We will find out who is doing the fundraiser and we will be there. I bet Tom Barrack and his fraud company Colony are hosting. I’ll find out where he lives. Come join me. #Resistance "
This is an excellent example of the unhinged, pure hate and blind hypocrisy of some influential people in American society who stand to gain greatly from Donald Trump and America's success, yet they fight it tooth and nail. They continue to wade further into the deep end of the pool,  and without their water wings.....

Maybe States Should Revisit Subsidies to NFL & NBA Teams


It was only a matter of time before the NFL going political would ensure blowback, and the league office should have damn well recognized that. The NFL has major exposure to its business model in the event Congress ever revisits its antitrust exemption, and the league makes millions, if not billions, thanks to tax breaks and sweetheart deals from state and local governments on publicly-funded facilities it enjoys.

When it allows its idiot twenty-something players, freshly marinated from social justice warrior academies disguised as sociology, criminal justice, African-American Studies and other pseudo-academic departments at major colleges, to bring political activism to sidelines of games the NFL is no longer entertainment for everyone. It is now contributing to the cultural divide rather than helping to heal it.

Louisana State Representative Kenny Havard (R-St. Francisville), who chairs the House Transportation Committee, is now calling for a rethinking of the state’s subsidy money going to the Saints & Pelicans Sports Franchises.

From The Hayride:
“The very reason (the Saints) have the privilege and opportunity to play professional football while being paid millions is because someone in uniform died protecting their right to do so,” Havard said. “It is a disgrace to the men and woman of this nation and state who have sacrificed so much.” Havard’s statement didn’t specify the amount of state money that he proposed be diverted from the Saints the NFL. 
“Disrespecting our national anthem and flag in the name of social injustice is the highest form of hypocrisy,” he said. “Our free society made possible by our fighting men and women has made available free education, free lunch, housing and free healthcare and is now be considered socially unjust. 
“It is time the taxpayers quit subsidizing protest on big boy playgrounds. I believe in the right to protest but, not at a taxpayer subsidized sporting event. Do it on your own time. There are plenty of disabled children, elderly and veterans in this state that would appreciate the money.”
According to a 2015 Forbes story, Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson was “set to rake in an estimated $392 million from state subsidies through 2025.

What Better Way to Replace a Statue of Robert E. Lee Then With a Symbol of Welfare Dependency

A West Point Educated General Replaced With a Pregnant Black Women

BALTIMORE, MD (WUSA9) - "Activists lifted a modern sculpture depicting a pregnant African-American "Lady Liberty" onto the pedestal where a monument to Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson was removed overnight.

The new statue is not sanctioned by the City of Baltimore which owns the site, but there was no immediate action to remove it by police or city officials. The removal of the Lee-Jackson monument and three other Confederate statues was ordered by Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh. Pugh told reporters she ordered the removals as a matter of public safety. In 2015 plaques were placed on the Lee-Jackson statue calling the monuments examples of the revisionist history "Lost Cause" movement.

Pugh said the monuments have been moved to safe locations for storage, but she did not say where. One city council member is calling for the destruction of the statues."

Reason #9 to Encourage California to Secede

Encourage California Secession. 
Help Rid Race Obsessed Leftist Morons like This From Congress

Another DMF Profile in Moonbattery:

Another illustrious member of the California US Congressional delegation and member of the Congressional Caucus of the Race Obsessed, launched a bigoted attack against the President in front of the annual liberal Nut-fest gathering known the Netroots Nation's convention in Atlanta. This time it was California Democrat Barbara Lee telling the audience "Trump wasted no time in implementing the hateful agenda that he ran on.  It's an all out assault on our fundamental civil and human rights" 


Lee, like her fellow CBC members Elijah Cummings, John Lewis, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, John Conyers and Keith Ellison (who's little segregated club are provided its own offices, staff and lavish budget at taxpayer expense) are allowed to shield their bigotry with their skin color as they spew their lies and sometime blatant anti-white propaganda in the Media. This is also the same Barbara Lee who tried to nullify the 2004 election of George Bush by voting not to count Ohio's Electoral Votes, thus swing the election to John Kerry. 
"President Trump, she told the audience, has “wasted no time in implementing the hateful agenda that he ran on.” Lee pointed to the so-called Muslim ban, transgender military ban, healthcare reform efforts, and Commission on Election Integrity among other recent Republican actions to illustrate her argument. 
“Coming from the Bay Area, of course, as a community leader with the Black Panther Party, I just have to say progressives understand the power of the people. We must be bold and not back down ” - Washington Examiner
She is also the same nutcase who recently suggested that the appointment of former USMC General John Kelly as Trump’s new White House chief of staff was the equivalent of an extremist military junta taking over the country. 

Sane people don’t listen to race-baiting crackpots like this woman. Unfortunately,  California seems to continue to elect more then their share of these bigoted wackos that help disrupt getting anything good done for the country because they act as if gone  from the first black president back to the 1960's overnight.  And people like Barbara Lee seem to ignore things like THIS.

Small Business Trump Supporters Bullied Out of Business


According to my friends in Chicago, this may not be an isolated incident, ignored by the media as they turn a blind eye to their sympathetic Trump Hating allies in the streets.  And as we quickly approach what I believe will come to be known as 'The Summer of Hate', the left will again take to the streets with increased demonstrations and violence leftist has shown they are capable of. 
-------------------------------

Suzzanne Monk of Chicago was one of the 2 million Illinois residents who voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, and she says that choice is costing her her neighborhood business. In a letter to the editor that appeared Friday in Crain's Chicago Business, Monk, who owns Worlds of Music in North Center with her husband Alexander Duvel, wrote that she has been subjected to steady bullying since the couple's personal politics became public knowledge. 
"Chicago, you have always been a Democrat-run town, but this year you have become a one-party city terrorizing anyone not in your party for their beliefs.... We will close at the end of April, because we are no longer willing to subject our staff, our customers, our neighbors and ourselves to the daily risk.... We have to leave. In the end, it wasn't the high taxes, constant road construction or high crime. It wasn't the unchecked gang violence or political cronyism. In the end, we have to leave because of the hate you are willing to tolerate.... You have a Trump-sized chip on that big shoulder, and it has turned you into a city of fear, hate and division. A city that encourages political bullying." 
The couple are in the process of shifting Worlds of Music, which sells instruments from around the globe, to an online enterprise because as Monk said, "they can't put a brick through a website". She and Duvel have always worked hard to keep politics separate from their business ( for the record, she voted for Al Gore in 2000 and Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primary ) but were "outed" as Trump supporters after a debate Duvel had in the comments section of a Facebook post last year. The couple began receiving threatening emails along the lines of: We hope nobody fire bombs your business, that would be too bad.

The worst of it has been they've had loyal customers told not to support them or they would be ostracized. What disturbs Monk the most is that the very people who profess to promote tolerance, progressive liberals, are the same people who have been intimidating her and her husband, or are tacitly approving of the bullying by not condemning it.

New Years Resolutions for the Smug, Liberal Millennial Know-nothings...


The following is from Matt Walsh’s Tuesday column "Hey, smug millennial liberals — here are some New Year’s resolutions for you." He wrote this in response to the idiotic video MTV made about New Years Resolutions for white people. Every single one of these resolutions is spot on. Especially the first one.

All of the emphases in bold are mine.
—-

Resolution 1: Stop being bigots.

Before you make some blanket statement about white men, imagine what the statement would sound like if you replaced “white men” with any other demographic group. For example, the video begins by saying, “Hey white guys, here are a few things you could do better in 2017.” Now imagine a video that began, “Hey black women, here are a few things you could do better in 2017,” or, “Hey Mexicans, here are a few things you could do better in 2017,” or, “Hey transgendered Asians, here are a few things you could do better in 2017.”
You would need months of counseling after watching any of those, wouldn’t you? And why is that? Well, because you’re incredibly sensitive, but also because you would most certainly consider it the height of bigotry for anyone to spend two minutes telling black people, or Mexicans, or homosexuals all of the things they need to stop doing and stop saying and stop believing. And you’d probably be right.
Now here’s the thing: you don’t have a bigotry hall pass. You don’t get to heap scorn and hatred on white men and then walk away feeling like you’re any better than the average white supremacist. In fact, you’re probably worse. Or at least you represent something that’s worse. White (male) supremacy is not a mainstream ideology. It’s roundly rejected by almost everyone all across the political spectrum. But black supremacy, woman supremacy, gay supremacy — the belief that these groups are morally and intellectually superior to white men — is very much a part of the mainstream. They teach it in college, which is probably where you picked it up.
Your bigotry is worse than any other kind of bigotry in America precisely because it’s so popular and so accepted. Worst of all, it’s the only kind of bigotry that can often be mistaken for virtue. But bigotry is bigotry all the same. You are bigots. So, stop it.

Resolution 2: Stop spreading the myth that America is inherently racist and sexist.

America isn’t great for anyone who isn’t a white guy? Maybe you should tell that to our black president. Actually, he may very well agree with you, but that’s because he shares in your delusions and prejudices.
You may notice that many non-whites and non-men stream into this country from all across the globe every year. In fact, your ancestors did the same. The girl who delivered the “America isn’t great” line in the video is a minority herself. That means her parents or grandparents came here precisely because this country is far greater than the one they fled. Perhaps she can drive home from her expensive college in the car her parents bought her, walk into their nice, climate controlled home, and inform them that America isn’t great for her. Maybe she can convince them that she’d like to return to the poverty and tyranny in whichever country her family originates. Something tells me they will not be anxious to join her.
I would argue that the “greatness” of America has taken a severe hit because of its increasingly godless, progressive, decadent culture. But that’s the kind of culture you guys want and have fought to establish, so you have no reason to complain about it. As far as you’re concerned, America is very near perfect. You can wear your nice clothes, talk on your nice phones, go to college, say whatever you want, think whatever you want, do whatever you want, make racist videos, and bask in a culture that largely reflects and reinforces your flawed worldview. What in God’s name are you complaining about? If this isn’t great enough for you, I hate to think how you’ll react if things ever get legitimately bad in this country.

Resolution 3: Develop an iota of humility and gratitude.

We’ve mostly covered the gratitude piece. You have many reasons to be grateful, especially if you’re a racial minority or a woman, knowing that you have it better here than you’d have it virtually anywhere else on the globe. And as triggering as this idea may be, you also have many reason to be grateful to the white men you spend all day whining about.
It was mostly white men who founded this country. It was mostly white men who developed it. It was mostly white men who innovated our technology, medical advancements, etc. It was mostly white men who saved the entire globe from catastrophe several times in the 20th century alone. No, it wasn’t exclusively white men, but mostly. And you ought to recognize that, and be grateful for it.
This also speaks to humility. If you’re a progressive college-aged millennial, you have absolutely no standing to lecture anyone about anything. You haven’t done anything with your life. You haven’t accomplished anything. You haven’t sacrificed anything. You have no wisdom. You know very little, and far less than you think. Humble yourself and start listening for a change. And then maybe when you’ve worked a job, gotten married, had some kids, read some books that weren’t assigned to you by a college professor, had a few ups and downs, encountered life fully detached from the bosom of your parents and academia, then maybe your opinions will carry some weight. But, if you follow those steps, your opinions will also have changed drastically by then.

Resolution 4: Stop denying reality.

You live in a physical universe. It’s important to know a few things about that universe: First, it exists. Second, it has laws. Third, you can’t change those laws. Fourth, as my friend Ben Shapiro might say, it doesn’t care about your feelings.
An unborn human doesn’t lose its humanity just because you don’t want it to be human. A man doesn’t become a woman just because he’d prefer not to have a penis. The fundamental nature of something can’t be altered at all, by any force, but especially not by the force of your imagination. God Himself cannot make 2 plus 2 equal 5, because that is inherently irrational and therefore inherently impossible. Despite what you may have been told, you are not God. And if God can’t do it, your chances of success are considerably diminished.
People are people. Men are men. Women are women. These are the basic facts of life, the parameters of existence, and you will not be able to function as a normal, decent human being until you accept them. But again, this will take some humility. It really requires only the slightest hint of modesty to accept that you are not more powerful than God. It’s disturbing to think that so many of you do not possess even that much of it.

Resolution 5: Get rid of all of your buzzwords.

They’re all stupid and they make you sound stupid when you use them. None more so than “mansplaining.” If a man happens to be teaching you something or offering instruction, as I am doing here, he is not “mansplaining.” He’s simply explaining. He’s a man explaining things. His explanations are not made illegitimate by the fact that he is a man.Indeed, if that were the case, we’d have to throw out everything that was “mansplained” to us by Einstein, Newton, Galileo, Copernicus, Da Vinci, Aristotle, Socrates, Aquinas, and so on. In other words, if we were to scoff at and dismiss every insight or discovery given to us by some misogynistic mansplainer, we would very quickly find ourselves back in the Stone Age worshiping the Sun god and dying of diarrhea and Typhoid.
I suppose if a millennial feminist could have been there when Aristotle wrote Ethics, or when Copernicus posited heliocentricism, or when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the “I Had a Dream” speech, she would have given a patronizing smirk and lectured about the dangers of mansplaining. I guess, then, it’s a good thing that those were more serious times populated by more serious sorts of people.

Resolution 6: Stop worshiping Beyonce.

Since you brought it up, let me state for the record that, no, not everyone loves her. I mean, I love her in the sense that I am obligated as a Christian to love all human beings. But as a singer I finder her bland and uninteresting, and the content of her songs I find illiterate, vile, and degrading. But even if she were a real musician and her songs were intelligent and substantive, I’d still warn against worshiping her or any other pop star.

Resolution 7: Stop wearing cat shirts.

This one is self-explanatory.
