Still Not Woke Enough

by

Sorry Movie That No One Is Allowed Not to Like, you’re still not woke enough.

Given the amount of screen time given to the squad of warrior women in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, one of the biggest questions about the film has been whether it would at all incorporate any elements of Ayo’s (Florence Kasumba) sexuality, or even the idea that queer women were a part of the Dora Milaje.

Right, how dare you not have a lesbian love story in your social justice comic book action movie?

Question, should white people even be permitted to see this movie?  Apparently, it is a legitimate concern in the Woke Community.

The Left Is a Movement of Buzz Killingtons

by

Yesterday, SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon Heavy rocket into space, carrying a ballast payload that… just for fun… consisted of a red Tesla Roadster with an empty spacesuit strapped in the front seat. Most people thought this was pretty cool.

But not to Buzz Killingtons like Nathan Robinson at the far-left The Guardian, who felt the need to virtue-signal How Much He Cares About Important Things:  Why Elon Musk’s SpaceX launch is utterly depressing:

There is, perhaps, no better way to appreciate the tragedy of 21st-century global inequality than by watching a billionaire spend $90m launching a $100,000 car into the far reaches of the solar system.

Musk said he wanted to participate in a space race because “races are exciting” and that while strapping his car to a rocket may be “silly and fun … silly and fun things are important”. Thus, anyone who mentions the colossal waste the project involves, or the various social uses to which these resources could be put, can be dismissed as a killjoy.

Yeah, Buzz Killington, you are a killjoy. Because those “Syrian Refugees” you virtue signal about in your piece were going to be in exactly the same situation if Elon Musk didn’t fire off his rocket. And as for income inequality, the socialism you advocate levels it by making 99% of the populations of Cuba, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe miserably impoverished while the political elite are billionaires. You sure don’t seem to have a problem with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and Robert Mugabe being billionaires.

I will agree with Buzz Killington on one point, though.

Musk’s empire is fueled by billions of dollars in government subsidies. The Los Angeles Times revealed in 2015 that Musk’s companies benefitted from “grants, tax breaks, factory construction, discounted loans and environmental credits”, plus the tax credits and rebates that are granted to consumers for buying his products.

The average household income of a Tesla purchaser is in the hundreds of thousands, yet the federal government pays people $7,500 to buy them through tax credits, and many states offer their own cash handouts. Because we’re all giving Elon Musk money, what he chooses to do with that money is very much our business.

And just where do Elon Musk’s tax breaks and payouts come from? Leftists who felt the need to virtue-signal about concern for the environment by creating those very policies. You guys hate the free market and were convinced it would never lead to your Green Socialist Utopia. So, you guys… YOU GUYS… created the policies that diverted taxpayer funds into Elon Musk’s bank account. But that was okay, because Environmentalism is your secular religion; and you have no problem with the State supporting that.

Any Mockery of PC Culture Eventually Becomes the Mainstream of PC Culture

by

Canadian’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau… a.k.a Captain Soy Boy… mansplained to a young woman (who was asking a question about freedom of religious conscience and Canada’s utter lack thereof) that enlightened people don’t say “mankind” but “peoplekind.”

So, I heard about that yesterday and shrugged it off as another idiocy sprung from his Tide-Pod-flavored mouth. But apparently, it’s a big deal in some parts of the social media, so there you are.

Are they going to have to rename one of their provinces? Peopletoba?

Also, my description of Star Trek as “Luxury Authoritarian Space Communism” triggered some poor fan-boy on Ricochet. (Comment #11)

Facebook’s Racial Thought Police Look Exactly How You Would Picture Them

by

An “enlightened” group of white social justice wanker volunteers police Facebook discussions for Wrongthink.

Say, a person of color makes a post about Black Lives Matter. Then others respond with ignorant or offensive comments. That person can tag White Nonsense RoundUp to snatch some edges — or, better put, to educate people with context and fact-based views.

“It’s really unfair that we expect people of color to experience racism, but then also explain it to us,” the group’s co-founder Terri Kempton, a book editor and college instructor, told CNN.

When a volunteer receives a tag notification, they read through the conversation in question and spend time figuring out the best approach. This one dialogue can last a volunteer’s entire two-hour shift or it could be one of several conversations they tackle.

Volunteers pretty much see the same well-trodden claims or ideas time and time again in some form or another, Kempton said.

There are some old standbys like, “I’m not racist because I don’t see color,” or, “Well, I don’t personally act racist.”

More specific topics also get trotted out: “Cultural appropriation isn’t real,” “I don’t have white privilege because of [x],” “Why is it always about race?” and the particularly thorny refrain, “All Lives Matter.”

Did your stereotype of how white people who police Facebook on behalf of black people include high BMI, ugly eyeglasses, and bad dye jobs? How narrow and bigoted you must be.

White Privilege; It’s What’s for Dinner

by

Stout policewoman with butch haircut and drinking problem put on paid leave after calling out male police officer for “White Privilege.”

An Indiana police force placed a female captain on paid administrative leave after she told a fellow officer that he benefited from “white male privilege.”

The incident occurred at a Nov. 1 training seminar on how police should interact with transgender people in their communities, led by a U.S. Department of Justice representative and a U.S. attorney.

“My wife has never been part of police violence,” he said. “Most of the people that I know have never been, accused the police of violence. So I guess I don’t get where that statistic comes from.”

“‘Cause your white male privilege, so you wouldn’t know” said a woman’s voice. The woman was identified as Weber by local media outlets.

“I’m sorry?” a man asked.

“Your white male privilege,” the woman repeated.

Weber was placed on administrative leave on Nov. 16. She was previously suspended in August for violating a department policy by driving her squad car within eight hours of drinking alcohol and for having alcohol in her squad car, according to WISH.

University Thought Police Interrogate a Dissenter Who Offended a Transgendered.

At about 18:00, the interrogator … in his annoying, condescending, effete academic accent… informs her that free speech is a Nazi belief, and exposing transgendereds and other “marginalized communities” to ideas they don’t like will cause them to commit suicide.

At 25:00 in, the interrogator says that college students are children who need to protected from scary ideas.

At 33:00 he explains how the purpose of the university is to indoctrinate students in approved, politically correct ideas.

How silly are racial categories? At least this silly

by

Recently I heard about Irish Latino people. The concept has to do with Irish immigration to Mexico. These people are genetically Ginger, politically and linguisticially Mexican.

Not to be confused with the Black Irish, which is any non-ginger or dark-haired Irish person, sometimes said to be descended from Spanish navy who were shipwrecked in Ireland hundreds of years ago.

They’re all fine people with valid identities. I like Irish, I like Mexican, I like gingers, I like the dark-haired. But, do you see where this is going? In today’s society you can be translucently pearl-white with family originally from Ireland – and, if you wish, claim Hispanic identity. Which is, supposedly, a “race” like any other.

“Race” is an example of an anti-category: A classifier that actually confuses people and harms rational thought, because it based on an arbitrary mix of concepts: part national origin, part skin tone, part birth language or language of your last name, and part personal choice. It’s as silly as if I were to categorize fruits based on whether they’re yellow, a type of apple, picked on a Tuesday, or something I like to cook with.

We should immediately drop all racial categories and move to a post-racial society.

Youtube/Google censorship: It’s real

Black Pigeon Speaks has the details.

By NO means do I agree with all of BPS’ positions or statements. To cite just one difference of many: he favors government-run health care (and I don’t).

But I have found that, even where I find his views silly, his videos are good-faith (if somewhat sarcastic) attempts to support his positions with science and facts. That Youtube (which means Google/Alphabet) would censor him – and other content creators who happen to be politically incorrect – while continuing to allow a ton of Islamist terrorist content, is disturbing.

It seems that 4chan pushed back with malware bots that generate fake ad traffic. The fake, extra traffic causes Google/Youtube to overcharge their advertisers, making trouble for everyone. I don’t endorse that tactic at all. Still, one can’t help but admire the goal: to remind Google/Youtube that they, too, depend greatly on the goodwill of others for their fragile existence.

Lots of people seem to be moving to BitChute and Vid.me. But I like the new YouTube: they’ve been letting me watch my favorite content ad-free (since the first step in the censoring the scapegoated content is “de-monetize” it).
