Poor girl. Basically saves Congress and the left changes her name to black lesbian

What exactly would be enough?

According to their website: The complete transformation of society into a Queer Activist Utopia.

Academic identifies as a hippopotamus, because being transgendered wasn’t freaky transgressive enough.

Florentin Félix Morin, a French PhD student who studied at the University of Arizona in the spring 2017 semester, published a paper discovered Saturday entitled “EGO HIPPO: The subject as metaphor,” in which he explained “how his metaphorical hippo-self is collectively produced and performed.”

“For a while, if someone was asking me how I ‘identified,’ I would joke about being a hippopotamus trapped in a human’s body,” says Morin, a transgender man, “later, a human trapped in a hippopotamus’ body, until my humorous ‘truth’ solidified and I began announcing myself as an old butch hippo dyke trapped in a young human faggy transboy’s body.”

And who are we to tell xyr that xe is not actually a hippopotamus… you know, aside from being people possessed of reason and a firm grasp of reality.

First, let’s catch up on some lingo. Nathan Damigo, the guy who punched Moldylocks, founded something called “Identity Evropa” (meaning European). I visited the website and I did not find any statements that call for white supremacy; only for white/European identity.

Think of it this way. We have accepted identities such as African-American, Latino-American, Asian-American, Jewish-American, etc. In general, those identities don’t intend full-on Black or Latino or Asian or Jewish supremacy. They may sometimes achieve special privileges (for example, quotas or differing standards for the alleged races). But the majority of people holding to those identities don’t intend anything like a hard apartheid (or internment camps, etc.) for the other identities. In that sense, they usually aren’t “Black supremacists” or “Latino supremacists” or “Asian supremacists”, etc.

Damigo and company seem to be saying, we can get along with those identities but let’s have one for whites, too. They reject the term “white supremacists”. In the Rebel Media interview linked above, Damigo describes himself as a “white identitarian” and says that hysterical claims about his being a Nazi, a racist, etc. are just “anti-white hate speech” to shut down conversation.

It may sound almost reasonable until you remember that all identity politics are harmful. These guys are going in the exact wrong direction. They are doing a “Me, too” on racial identity politics. Like the others, they offer a cheap identity – “join the fraternity”, says their website. A San Diego Union-Tribune article says:

[As a Marine in Iraq, Damigo] saw firsthand the conflicts between the country’s ethnic and religious groups. “I said, ‘This is dumb. Why don’t … each one of them have their own country and they can all express themselves and … they’re not, you know, fighting with each other,” he told the Los Angeles Times in December.

In other words: Damigo might not want to harm or subjugate the other identities; but he thinks that both the Middle East and America should be even more ethnically-divided than they already are. Not good.

I believe in a melting-pot, American identity based on America’s founding principles of Human Freedom under Limited Government and the Rule of Law. Yes, the Left has pulled us all away from it with cheap, divisive identity politics. So let’s restore it.

When I come across identity-politics material of any kind (white, black or otherwise), the word “stupid” keeps popping into my head. I’ve been thinking about why that is. First, here is how I define the term. Interactions between 2 parties will have one of four outcomes.

• I win, you win: That’s smart.
• I win, you lose: That might be justice; if it’s not, then it’s predatory on my part, masochistic on your part.
• I lose, you win: That might be justice; if it’s not, then it’s masochistic on my part, predatory on your part.
• I lose, you lose: That’s just stupid.

With identity politics, everyone loses. Even the hucksters who gain financially from it are still losers – because they’re hucksters. If it’s stupid when Blacks or Asians or Latinos do it – and I’m afraid that it is – then it is equally stupid when whites do it.

All identitarians oversimplify their group’s history, and Identity Evropa is no exception. Their materials highlight Western civilization with majestic Greco-Roman-appearing figures next to slogans like “Let’s become great again”, “Serve your people”, “Discover who you are”, “Protect your heritage”. Fine. I like greatness and heroic art. But these guys seem unaware that Jesus was a Mediterranean Jew, and that the Greco-Roman civilizations (I dare not say “races”) were highly mixed, with a good deal of Mediterranean, Semitic (Phoenician), African and European heritage together.

They seem to forget that *culture is culture*. It isn’t about ethnicity, or tribe, or race, or genes, or color. It’s ideas; principles; the arts; laws and legal practices; philosophy; sciences; means of production and trade; food; ethics; things that can be adopted by anyone, of any ethnicity, at any time.

I am a Western supremacist. That is: I think that the Judeo-Christian-Greco-Roman-Lockean/Enlightenment civilization, while not perfect, is better than the others; it has the most elements from which an ideal civilization could be built. And I want to spread those good elements, by example and persuasion, to all ethnic groups (in America and the world).

It’s about the ideas/principles, and the individuals everywhere who may hold them. I couldn’t care less about the survival of *any* ethnicity as such. Ethnic identity is a sideshow, a rabbit hole where everyone loses, if we keep going down it.

And sorry Mr. Damigo, but if it does turn out that you’re one of those people who dwells on racial categories and uses them to pre-judge your fellow human beings: then yes, at that point you would be a racist. If you don’t want to wear that shoe, kindly make sure it never fits.

They both really hate Valentine’s Day.

The highest objective of both Islam and the radical Left is clear: to shatter the sacred intimacy that a man and a woman can share with one another, for such a bond is inaccessible to the order. History, therefore, demonstrates how Islam, like Communism, wages a ferocious war on any kind of private and unregulated love. In the case of Islam, the reality is epitomized in its monstrous structures of gender apartheid and the terror that keeps it in place. Indeed, female sexuality and freedom are demonized and, therefore, forced veiling, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, honor killings and other misogynist monstrosities become mandatory parts of the sadistic paradigm.

One notes that Third Wave Feminism has fully embraced Sharia and all that comes with it.

Valentine’s Day is a “shameful day” for the Muslim world and for the radical Left. It is shameful because private love is considered obscene, since it threatens the highest of values: the need for a totalitarian order to attract the complete and undivided attention, allegiance and veneration of every citizen. Love serves as the most lethal threat to the tyrants seeking to build Sharia and a classless utopia on earth, and so these tyrants yearn for the annihilation of every ingredient in man that smacks of anything that it means to be human.

Yeah, it’s a bit overwrought but it gets the point across.  You look at the fashion sense of both Sharia and Antifa and… yeah there’s some definite conformity there.

I get why Mohemmadans hate it. It’s a holiday that celebrates love and joy; two things Islam strongly opposes.  And as for the left, I get that, too. Because the real power behind the Democrat Left and the Social Justice wankers are manless, middle-aged white women who despise Valentine’s Day out of sheer bitterness.  And both philosophies share a common desire to annihilate the individual and enforce a restricted set of thoughts and behavior; with severe penalties for failing to comply. There is almost as little freedom of speech on a typical American college campus these days as there is in Teheran or Riyadh.

Anyway, we’re still going to celebrate it in our own way. 70% off cards tomorrow, and a steak dinner on Friday. A nice big rare steak with an iceberg wedge, veg, and wine. This wine is freakin’ Amazing by the way.

I trust that all those who said Kim Davis had no right to decide for herself which laws to enforce support Trump’s firing Sally Yates. Yes?

LGBT Caucus demands Senate reject Ben Carson because some homeless people are gay.

40% of homeless youth are #LGBT, but Ben Carson thinks they don’t deserve legal protections. He’s #BadforHUD. Senate MUST reject.

If you think there’s proof out there somewhere that Ben Carson wants gay and lesbian “youth” to be homeless (where they are most vulnerable to Mike Pence’s electrocution squads), there isn’t any. Just more hysteria from the left’s dimension.

Sally Kohn loves her some identity politics.

In poll after poll [Note: No citation for these polls] most Americans embrace the gains won by identity politics. We should expand support, not abandon pluralist agenda.

Let’s be honest; in a world without identity politics, Sally Kohn would just be another dull-witted leftist, at best teaching at a community college. She has never said or written anything remotely interesting or original that would merit any loftier position. (I’d suggest she could “work” as a Diversity Coordinator, but a world without identity politics would also be a world without stupid bureaucratic make-work jobs for people with no valid skillsets.)

In a world with identity politics, she’s “The Official Media Spokeswoman for the LGBTQ Community,” with a fat contract for doing nothing more than spewing Democrat Party Talking Points and assuring white heterosexual liberals that all gay people agree with them.

And there are many, many like her in the Democrat Party and Democrat Media Complex.

Two black women support LEGAL immigration (as do I), border security and Donald Trump. About a year ago they felt angry – and expressed themselves peacefully. (h/t CrayCrayPatriot for telling me about them)

That’s good.

Now for the contrast: Shamefully, two black men this week beat up a (perceived? real or imagined?) Trump voter. (h/t Zero Hedge and InfoWars)

That’s a disgrace.

The difference here isn’t race. Isn’t era. Isn’t oppression-privilege “experience” or dynamics. Isn’t anger level. Probably isn’t even gender, all that much (since some women do fight, and many men don’t).

The key difference is IDEAS – and MORAL CHARACTER.

As Aristotle is supposed to have said:

Anybody can become angry – that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.

Exit question: Are Hillary or President Obama out there, telling people in no uncertain terms to calm down and accept the election’s outcome? (If yes: I’m glad, and feel free to post the link in the comments.)

UPDATE: Via ZH, a high school girl is attacked (by another high school girl) for supporting Trump. Pathetic!

One consensus emerging from the election of 2016 is that a major factor in the election of Donald Trump was that insular political and media operatives living in New York, Washington DC, and Los Angeles have become so out-of-touch with voters in the rest of America that the voters have repudiated them. Hillary lost because the Democrat priorities of Climate Change, transgender bathrooms, gun control, and mass immigration are completely disconnected from the concerns of voters in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin and that is why Newsweek had to recall the entire press run of its “Madam President” issue.

But then, one hispter urban liberal, a certain Patrick Thornton who works as “Director of User Experience” for Roll Call’swebsite, defends the coastal urban bubble, declaring, “We urban coastal elites are awesome, it’s those hicks in the provinces that need to be more like us.”

I’m going to cut to the chase because the guy is a flaming twit. The crux of his argument is that urban coastal elites are better (“more American”) than people in flyover country (which he says is a wonderful place to visit, and he always tells his hip urban friends that all the time, but it’s just not, you know, a cool place to live because the people are so stupid and backward) because they have friends from other races, cultures, and sexualities. And this … this… is what makes them better.

In many of these areas, the only Muslims you see are in movies like “American Sniper.” (I knew zero Muslims before going to college in another state.) You never see gay couples or even interracial ones. Much of rural and exurban American is a time capsule to America’s past.

The first gay person I knew personally was my college roommate — a great man who made me a better person. But that’s an experience I would have never had if I didn’t go to college and instead decided to live the rest of my life in my hometown.

More Americans need to see more of the United States. They need to shake hands with a Muslim, or talk soccer with a middle aged lesbian, or attend a lecture by a female business executive.

First of all, he makes the typical arrogant liberal assumption that only hip urban liberals have friends who “represent diversity.” But the really nasty part is he doesn’t see people as people. He, like a lot of other urban hipster liberals, sees them as cards in a game of Diversity Pokemon. “Look, I have a lesbian soccer mom, an interracial gay couple, an undocumented immigrant and… Oooh… this one is non-binary transgender person of color who uses non-standard pronouns, that makes xyr extra valuable.”

Ya gotta catch ’em all, I guess.

I just can’t get on board with that mentality of looking at other people as trophies whose presence in my collection confirms my virtue and status; it’s kind of gross.

On a closing note, I am from the Midwest, I lived in the National Capital Region for twelve miserable years. People in that area fancy themselves more sophisticated, and more important than people anywhere else in the country. They are by and large horrid, arrogant, and obnoxious people and I happy as Hell that I don’t have to live there any more. Having a Pokemon collection filled with gays, foreigners and trannies doesn’t make you a better person. It just makes you an arrogant leftist twit with a Human Pokemon collection.

Isn’t this wonderful news? It means the 49 people he murdered weren’t victims of a hate crime.

“While there can be no denying the significant impact on the gay community, the investigation hasn’t revealed that he targeted pulse because it was a gay club,” a U.S. law enforcement official told The Post.

According to the report, federal investigators have combed through Mateen’s computer and other electronic footprints in an effort to determine what motivated the attack. Thus far, the review has revealed nothing to support assertions that the attack was motivated by homophobia or that Mateen was gay.

This means we can downgrade this attack from a horrible hate crime to a mere mass-murder.

I mean, yeah, Omar Mateen may have hated the people he murdered for being part of Western Civilization, but he didn’t hate them for being gay.

We’ll save the “Hate Crime” label for the real monsters: People who don’t want to bake cakes for gay weddings.

Or Something.

The owners of a vegan cafe in the country of Georgia say group of neo-Nazis started throwing grilled meat at patrons.  It happened over the weekend at the Kiwi Cafe in the capital city of Tbilisi.

The cafe was holding an English-language movie screening when the group came in and started the violence.

They pulled out grilled meat, sausages, fish and started eating them and throwing them at customers before starting to smoke, which is forbidden at the cafe.

Also, in news of crazy-stuff-that-cannot-ever-happen-here-yet, a school in the area once known as Great Britain has banned playground whistles on the grounds that the noise may traumatize children. I am not making this up.

You may recall some months ago when the Feminist Left threw a collective hissy-fit-tantrum-storm-PMS-overcharge because a scientist who had just landed a space probe on a comet shamelessly wore a shirt with a pattern of attractive women on it. Suddenly, a bunch of women who lack the technical competence to parallel park were attacking a guy who just landed a freakin’ space probe on a freakin’ comet over a fashion choice they disagreed with.

To the feminist and the Progressive Left Media Complex, his shirt was an outrageous attack on women and would somehow discourage young girls from ever pursuing a career in the sciences; because someday a penis-bearer might wear such a shirt to the lab at which point the strong capable feminist scientist would be triggered and reduced to a sobbing wreck.

Anyway, fast forward to now, and a guy who wondered “What would happen if I wore such a shirt in an environment populated by normal people?”

I wore the shirt to the family-friendly Food & Wine Festival at Busch Gardens, a Tampa-area theme park. I was hoping to get a rise out of people, to see offended scowls, muttering tones of disapproval, or even outright confrontation. I saw none of this. There wasn’t a single scowl, muttered remark, or disapproving glance. The shirt did, however, receive a number of compliments, an enthusiastic vote of approval from a few tattooed bikers, and joy from one of the park workers who actually recognized Elly Prizeman’s work for what it was and was thrilled to see the shirt that launched the shirtstorm in person.

The lesson from this little social experiment is that radical feminism, while it controls media, college campuses, and has a strong voice in government, has little impact on the sensibilities of the common man.

The other lesson is that radical feminists are nucking futs.

The Gay Left Hype Machine eagerly hyped an incident at a Barbecue joint in New York City as “gay bash hate crime” because…. well, you know… playing the victim is very politically valuable to the Gay Left. But, as usual, another piece of evidence that Cis-Normative America is a nightmarish miasma of anti-gay violence has crumbled to dust in their dainty, well-manicured hands.

A Bronx man bashed a gay couple over the head with a chair inside a Chelsea BBQ joint after one of the men smacked him in the face with his purse, prosecutors said Tuesday at his Manhattan assault trial.

Yeah, only one problem… the accused gay basher “not only is gay but has been active in the LGBT community for more than 19 years.”

So, the “Hate Crime” turns out to be nothing but a drunken bar brawl between over-emotive drama queens.

The left will go on hating America (but not leaving), because they don’t really need evidence that their hatred is justified. They just need a Narrative with a lot of drama in which they are victims and everyone who disagrees with them is evil.

Not making this up.

Asked “can paedophiles actually change?”, the expert wrote: “I believe Paedophilic Disorder is a sexual orientation with individual that are attracted to child features. In other words, an individual with paedophilia has the same ingrained attraction that a heterosexual female may feel towards a male, or a homosexual feels towards their same gender. 

Gee, it’s a good thing the socialist left doesn’t make a habit of normalizing and mainstreaming deviant sexual practices.

It is my understanding that according to Rule 46 of the Lefty Comment Troll Handbook that anyone who does not explicitly and vigorously denounce the opinion expressed in the linked article can be accused of fully agreeing with it; just as someone who does not constantly denounce each and every occurrence of anti-gay violence (by non-Mohammedans) can be accused of supporting anti-gay violence.

Just for the record, I reject and condemn any effort to normalize and mainstream paedophilia or tolerance of paedophilia, as should be clear from the context.  And I’m not a supporter of anti-gay violence either; except for obnoxious left-wing gay activists who incite violence and hatred, seek to deny other people their rights, and frankly deserve to get punched in the face.

“You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood. You have to understand, how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point of view,” Johnson’s cousin Nautika Harris said.

If it were me, I would pay for school clothes by getting a job, but then, I guess, that’s my white male privilege talking.

It amuses me that the person making the quote was named after a line of clothing.

In Progressive, Enlightened New York City, the city council has told police to stand down on enforcing laws against public urination. Because, apparently, holding all people to the expectation of not urinating in public is “RAYCISS!”

“We know that the system has been really rigged against communities of color in particular,” council member Melissa Mark-Viverito, a Democrat (of course – Ed.), told the Times. “So the question has always been, what can we do in this job to minimize unnecessary interaction with the criminal justice system, so that these young people can really fulfill their potential?”

On Monday, Mark-Viverito and other council members will introduce a set of bills called the Criminal Justice Reform Act. The laws are designed to make several quality-of-life laws much more toothless. Misdemeanor crimes to be nearly-but-not-quite decriminalized include public urination, excessive noise, drinking in public, marijuana possession and miscellaneous public park-related infractions.

From this…

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

… to con artists like Shaun King pretending to be black because it’s a lucrative hustle.

… to race hustlers like Ta-Nehisi Coates growing wealthy pandering to white guilt and demanding, not reconciliation, but vengeance.

…. to pathetic whining that there aren’t enough Oscar nominations for black people.

… to a black president and his entire party embracing divisive racial rhetoric because it is politically advantageous to do so.

… to a city with a black mayor, a majority black city council, and a majority black police force that still blames white people for all of their troubles.

… to spoiled young black women pitching obscenity-laden hissy fits about emails about Halloween costumes.

… to whining that it’s racist for white people to cook collard greens with peanuts. (I am not making this up.)

I used to think that Millennials would be the generation that moved past racism and identity politics. Sadly, it looks like the Millennials are even more obsessed than their insane, Baby Boomer forebearers. What the hell happened?

Update: USA Today’s Racial Self-Flagellation: “Whites Killed Martin Luther King. Now We Honor Him.” Really? All white people everywhere conspired to kill Martin Luther King? Does this mean all Black people raped Bill Cosby’s women? Whatever, dude.

The lawyer for a gay man who either fell or jumped overboard from a cruise ship and died says either way that cruise line is responsible because homophobia.

Winkleman said it was Royal Caribbean crew members who instigated the situation.

“Throughout the cruise, there were anti-gay remarks crew members were making against them,” said Winkleman.

Because the staff of cruise ships are renowned for their intolerance of gay people and predilection toward antagonizing customers.

Gawdam Homophobes

Speaking of phony victimhood, the blacktivist at the University of Missouri who went on a “hunger strike” to protest the intolerable condition of his oppression is from a family worth $20 Million.

It’s well-understood that the Left in America (indeed, the West in general) prefers to silence rather than to engage their political or intellectual counterparts. From speech codes to shutting down pizza shops that don’t hew to their ideology to barring campus speakers who don’t Think Properly (let alone the things they say!).

So it’s no surprise to anybody that, rather than challenging Donald Trump’s position on immigration, groups like Deport Racism are calling on audience members at this week’s upcoming NBC broadcast of SNL to disrupt the production and shout things at the Republican candidate. And no less a group than the Congressional Hispanic Caucus has asked NBC to simply not even have him on the show.

It’s a meme about the Left that they will have no truck with any sort of dissent to the end that any other opinions are verboten from conception; a meme as ubiquitous as its examples, and as exasperating to have to point out as the question, “Can you imagine if a Republican had said that?!”

But it’s not often that you can see on display the next stinky layer of the onion right in the same place. This is the video that the same group, Deport Racism has produced as there, um, rejoinder?

Indoctrinated foul-mouthed children yelling dirty words at a grown man, while surely ‘cute’ to many members of the Left’s base, also go a long way to explaining why shutting down opposing thoughts is the weapon of choice for Progressives:

They’re not very good at making arguments.
