Monday humor

Powerline has collected a string of funny graphics.

This was my fav:

Paul Krugman telling anti-Trump rioters to stop breaking windows or they will help the Trump economy

(The reference, of course, is to the Broken Window Fallacy of economics, which neo-Keynesians like Paul Krugman constantly fall into.)

    Speaking of breaking windows, either literally or metaphorically (or both, in the case of Soros) :

    So… What does the Left/Soros think they’re accomplishing, with these violent, hateful protests?
    Whom do they think they’re persuading? or intimidating?

    Not the Trump voters. To Trump voters, the Left is merely confirming the reasons they voted Trump.

    But, whom else? Police? Courts? World opinion? The Electoral College? What is the Left’s goal here?

    I liked this article:

    http://www.vox.com/culture/2016/11/14/13526406/progressive-fundamentalism-make-america-great-again

    It’s about bridging the divide despite political differences.

    #13.. that article was a total piece of liberal crap. The writer simply patting itself (I don’t want to be binary) on the back for being cooler and hipper, even groovy!! “Hey look at me, I think I can understand these poor white, stupid hicks”.. what an @ssb@g.

    Do you suggest we just remain divided? I don’t really see that as a sustaining solution for the long-term.

    @ILoveCapitalism:

    I may be wrong, but I’m not even sure they have a clear goal even for themselves.

    I keep seeing reports from, say, the real world (people with their phones, vs the MSM echo chamber) about engineered disruption. Buses packed with out-of-town’s, etc.

    My wild guess is Soros and his alikes are now desperate to try anything to improvise a crisis in the street to break law and order and see where that takes them.

    I’m not even sure they even bothered debriefing Obamarx on that one, as he’s probably just making sure his retirement stocks are long or short where they should be and $100k/day conference speech agenda fully booked at the elitist colleges, etc.

    What I do find sick and quite terrifying, though, is it seems the Soros mafia had already plan B ready to spring from the drawers.

    I can’t say I have anything much in common with Trump beyond his proclaimed will to just stick to law and order — but I wish him best of luck dealing with the sociopaths both left and right surrounding him now. Everything tells me he is taking all this 50/50 has a legacy game for himself: 1) he must be sick and tired of the haughty establishment that mocked him for so long while plundering the country of his fellows and may want to put brakes on it, and 2) he may also want to see how hard he could kick everybody’s butt in the process.

    As for whether he has a real notion of how sick these career-leeches-only really are, with their never having to deal with a payroll and a capitalist market for most them — it is even less clear to me.

    Yes, until the idiots on your side of the aisle decide to put on their big-boy pants and grow the fcuk up. Until then, consider yourselves at war with the adults here.

    Of course, when it’s adults vs children, the grown-ups win every time. Period.

    #3 CCP – I read the first major part, but I wasn’t impressed. The author’s underlying premise is still that the Left’s opponents are ignorant hicks. He’s basically saying, Hey, let’s not be so obvious about it. Let’s be a *little* nicer.

    For example, he makes the assumption that “older rural whites” in “Louisiana” have “never even met a trans person”. Maybe true in some cases; doubtless untrue in others. He goes on to assume that, if you have met a trans person AND if you have any meaningful empathy or intelligence in you, then of course you would come around to the Left’s political correctness about trans people. (Or whatever the issue is.) Baloney.

    There is a journey toward humility and genuine empathy that the Left needs to make. It’s an article written by an author who has travelled, like, the first 1/10th of it. Better than nothing. But nowhere close to enough.

    For example, he makes the assumption that “older rural whites” in “Louisiana” have “never even met a trans person”.

    Who the eff cares whether they have or not? Why should they? All they care about is that some weirdo isn’t showing their male body parts (or worse, half-male, half-female parts) off in front of their granddaughter in the locker room at the swimming pool. [As almost happened shortly after Seattle passed their more-than-trans-inclusive facilities equality law earlier this year.]

    This whole “you must meet me to truly know me” metaphorical drum circle crap is beyond the point of ridiculousness. Life is not one giant group therapy session where everyone gets a hug at the end of each day. Part of the reason we are where we are at is this constant obsessive need not for acceptance or tolerance, but complete integration into every facet of society. It’s like everyone has to be Facebook friends with everyone else who also has a Facebook account.

    Speaking of Broken Windows Theory, NPR had a story on same on All Things Considered Tuesday, with the requisite conclusion that it might not be all it’s cracked up to be:
