A Stalinist By Any Other Name.......

If you haven't noticed, there are many striking similarities between today’s social justice warrior and yesterday’s totalitarians. Like the circular rhetoric of your typical Stalinist of old, today’s social justice rhetoric is just as circular and narrow. There is no original thought whatsoever and they actually resort to inventing words to make themselves sound smartaculous.  But if you listen, they are neither informed nor original. Everyone stays within the narrow confines of their rhetoric. They stick to the talking points which is why it is hard to argue or reason with them. They are like little automatons who spit out these talking points.

They have their appointed condemned groups of people who are the targets of their attacks. They are the ones blamed for society’s ills, mainly white heterosexual males, both past and present.  And this is where it starts to get a little tricky, as that scientific thing called genetics sometimes happens to get in the way. If you happen to be a white heterosexual male AND a social justice warrior, you will be relentlessly monitored to make sure the proper level of subordination is shown to the main victim group.  And as we learn everyday, the opponent for the social justice warrior is, primarily, conservatives. If you’re conservative, white, male and heterosexual, you wear a quadruple yoke of shame around your neck and don't deserve the air you breathe. 

The most powerful of the social justice warriors are the biggest perceived victim group at any given time. They become the forefront of the social justice revolution, the powerful group shifts with the changing of the seasons… or the latest police shooting.

Communism relied on economic arguments, but the means of attaining power and the form of social justice is basically the same absent the economic arguments.  The ideology of social justice is based more on racial and gender identity. A hierarchy of victimhood has replaced economic class. In social justice, racial and sexual class has replaced economic class and instead of class warfare prevalent in Communism, we see racial, sexual and gender warfare. (ever notice who the first or second person you see in almost every television commercial ad is, regardless of the product being sold?) 

So, what if social justice activists win the day? Like their economic Marxists cousins, they may seize power for a period, but eventually they would likely implode like most socialist countries. Stalinism left a trail of dead and destitute bodies in its wake. Social justice will not leave a trail of dead bodies; but it could help kill a thriving Republic.

Biden Bows Down To The Dems Intolerant Left

Joe Biden found himself in hot water after he dared call Vice President Mike Pence a “decent guy” during a foreign policy discussion on Thursday. Biden, who has a tendency to occasionally say nice things about Republicans he has dealt with over the years, apologized after some on the far-left publicly chastised him for his heinous indiscretion.

In a tweet, Biden responded to criticism from one critic, the failed leftist candidate for governor of New York, radical activist and alleged actress Cynthia Nixon:

"You’re right, Cynthia. I was making a point in a foreign policy context, that under normal circumstances a Vice President wouldn’t be given a silent reaction on the world stage."

But Biden’s apology was not enough for the intolerant gay activist, who responded to Biden’s apology:

“Thanks [Joe Biden]. Appreciate the response. But please understand from where we sit, his dehumanizing of our community disqualifies [Mike Pence] for the honorific of ‘decent’, regardless of the context.”

Why Biden gave this angry queer mafia wacko any credence by answering her is beyond me. But the episode highlights the inevitable problems that a Biden for president campaign would face. After spending a lifetime in the deliberative body of the Senate, Joe is just a little too chummy with longtime Republican colleagues for many leftist liking, and who at the moment are attacking any party member reaching across the aisle, even now for something so mundane as a compliment.

If  Joe decides to run for 2020, he will have a epic battle on his hands with the anti-Semite, anti-capitalist, Socialist-Democrat Party Mob that hates everyone who fails to maintain strict compliance with its enforced conformity of intolerant opposition to diversity of thought.

The Newest Hotbed of Racism

Beware of Possible Local Racist Knitting Circles 

For some people these days, every single thing is about race. This article in Vox, a web site for low-information young people, reads like a parody. But I am pretty sure it is serious. The topic? “The knitting community is reckoning with racism.” Personally, I didn’t even know there was a “knitting community.” It begins with a young knitter who expressed enthusiasm about an upcoming trip to India on social media:

"On January 7, she blogged excitedly about her upcoming trip to India. She wrote that 2019 would be her “year of color.” She said that as a child, India had fascinated her, and that when an Indian friend’s parents offered to take her with them on a trip, it was “like being offered a seat on a flight to Mars.” She spoke of her trip as if it were the biggest hurdle anyone could jump: “If I can go to India, I can do anything — I’m pretty sure."

Templer, it should be noted, is white. Que the nearest person with low self esteem who defines existence by skin color and waiting to be offended....

"As someone who is mixed-race Indian, to me, her post (though seemingly well-meaning) was like bingo for every conversation a white person has ever had with me about their “fascination” with my dad’s home country; it was just so colorful and complex and inspiring. It’s not that they were wrong, per se, just that the tone felt like they thought India only existed to be all those things for them." 

Following a major controversy in the online knitting community, the offender offered a Maoist apology:

"Templer has since apologized for her post, writing, “It took women of color pointing this out for me to see it … which is not their responsibility, and I am thankful to them for taking the time,” and that she’d be continuing to raise visibility of people of color (and specifically black/indigenous POC) knitters and their work."

Social media makes pointing out someones perceived or imaginary racism easier than ever. For weeks, knitters have used Instagram, and specifically Instagram stories, to share their observations, tag other knitters, and conduct polls about others’ experiences with racism in the community. Hundreds of people have shared stories of being ignored in knitting stores, or being told someone didn’t think black or Asian people knit.

Wow, who hasn't been ignored by a lazy retail employee? If lefties can turn knitting into a hotbed of racism, what can’t they do?

A Quick Glance In The Rear View Mirror

For a little background noise this weekend a documentary from 2015 was on television while I was reading and enjoying a nice bottle of wine having a spot of  tea. The upshot to the program was that a dinosaur hunter found not one, but two civilizations in the same burial ground area; one from around 10,000 years ago and the other from 5,000 years ago. Forgive me for not paying closer attention.

Scientists propose the one that originated around 10,000 years ago was driven from their lush homes in Africa after a couple thousand years due to drought and climatic change that caused the sand of the Sahara to encroach into the area they were living in. The fishes and hippos moved on as well as all the other life that was flourishing. Signs of their existence are unmistakable as is their abrupt departure.

Fast forward a few thousand years and the Sahara again retreated and life again returned to the region. A new people moved in and the animals returned. But then again the desert moved into their territory thousands of years later pushing them out, leaving only graves and small traces of human life. History repeated.

The point. The people ten thousand years ago and five thousand years ago had nothing to do with the climate. They lived and died much like the animals they hunted. No cars, no planes, no carbon footprint of note. Yet the climate first provided and then took away their living space, twice in spans of five thousand years. Worldwide you will find similar stories, such as Sumeria. The Earth and climate giveth and taketh away. Our climate similarly has had some variation in the past few thousand years to present times, but it is nothing that we can control. We are less than fleas on the dog of the Earth. Otherwise you would have to believe that these prehistoric people could have, if they were only as wise as us, altered the climate five and then ten thousand years ago to control the Earth’s temperature and weather patterns.

To believe that is the height of arrogance, the acme of ignorance and the apex of audacity.

But, now comes the loony left that unless they are the truly brainless (which many are) understand climate as a tool to push for a socialist agenda for power and control; nothing more. I am sad that so many are fooled, especially the young who fall for this insanity and have lost the ability to reason. The climate has and always will change, but only the fool thinks that mankind has mastery over it.

At Least We Have Hope Now She Won't Be Breeding Any Little Leftist Idiots

Between adjusting her britches and wielding a large knife while discussing why she believes her little commie Green New Deal that has been called impractical by some and laughed at by others is so important during an Instagram live from her new swanky DC apartment on Sunday, Alexandra Ocashew-Cortex questioned whether people should just stop having children because of climate change.

“This idea that I’ve been working on this for x-amount of years, um, it’s like not good enough. Like we need a universal sense of urgency and people are like trying to introduce watered-down proposals that are frankly going to kill us. A lack of urgency is going to kill us. 

Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don’t turn this ship around and so it’s basically like there’s a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult, and it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question, you know,  Is it okay to still have children? 

Financially, because people are graduating $20-, $30-, a $100,000-worth of student loan debt, so they can’t even afford to have kids in a house. Also this basic moral question, what do we do?”

I would laugh, but there are people who are actually listening to and taking seriously this imbecile. And while it might seem to be a good thing reducing them from the gene pool, in her case I whole-heartily agree. But what really would happen is that depopulism would enter the zeitgeist to our country's ruin. My run of enjoying her idiocy is about over. This woman is dangerous.
