Remember when people would disagree about things and then they’d have these really cool discussions, employing logic and wit and engage one another in good faith. They even used to be on TV ... you’d see Gore Vidal or someone debating some other dude and it would get really heated and really interesting... well apparently that’s been replaced now by YOU HURT MY FEELINGS. End of discussion.

If only it was really a black hole. We would never know what happens inside, and we would only have to keep at a safe distance.

Well if Brandon gets his way, then maybe Mr Putin could do us all a massive favour.

The easiest way to solve this woke nonsense globally, would be to devise a much needed medical intervention (Cyanide capsule) to treat a terribly virulent (made up) pandemic.

Everyone in the world must be compelled to take it.

Refusal, would mean they get publicly identified as a racist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, MAGA fascist, Trump supporting, racist, anti immigration, granny killing racist bigot.

Refusers would also lose their blue checkmark and be docked "virtue points"®.

I was up at 3:30 AM as I couldn’t sleep. I turned on the TV and hockey highlights were being shown. The description of the play was inconsistent with what I was seeing. A shot by A, tipped by B was described as a shot by B, tipped by A. This may seem unimportant but it is becoming more common. Even newscasters seem like they are not correctly reading what is written for them. Or perhaps the text is wrong and they don’t catch it.

I think the PANICDEMIC has lowered functioning IQ.

What happens when we hit bottom? With more and more Republicans in America now emulating Surrender Monkeys regarding Russia’s attempted absorption of Ukraine the race to the bottom is accelerating. How does one avoid the influence of Globalism with totalitarian globalists ascending? Perhaps I should be asking Chinese and Russian dissidents.

I think my favorite moment in Covid-era antiracism was when every black physician, politician, and scientist was being trotted out to try to convince black people to get the vaccine. I didn’t see many academics scrambling to interject “the way that we privilege knowledge, methods, and people” into that particular discussion. The woke ideology IS present day colonialism without the (trigger warning) railroads.

Remember, the germans and the soviets both got rid of scientists doing actual science in favour of people doing politically correct "science". The christian church and the moslems too also did that.

The races that didn't rapidly overtook them.

So start practicing your chinese, japanese and korean.

Evolution has no favourites, and breeds which make themselves weak and useless by dominating their environment too much, removing competition and conflict, self-selects for extinction.

Personally, I'm past the "Rorshach point" of caring:

"The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown.

The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No."'

Haha, the alliteration augers awesome in this article. And we have a new gold standard: “that really is triple B rated bollocks...” 😂

I would rather drink a pint of cold sick than read one more single stupid, turgid paragraph written by The Woke. It's like everything they write is emitted by some horrendous AI that's been trained on verbal diarrhoea consisting of phrases like "we must do the work to privilege anti-racism while using the hermeneutics of trans in solidarity with the oppressed".

These people are both stupid and evil.

You might "enjoy" this page then:

[https://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/]

It loads a different text each time you refresh it.

Sample:

"The subject is interpolated into a cultural discourse that includes truth as a whole. Therefore, if the neodialectic paradigm of consensus holds, we have to choose between textual appropriation and Batailleist `powerful communication’."

It's been in existence since 1996... maybe it gained sentience and broke out?

My favorite "core concept"

"(5) explain the difference between sex and gender and how specific organs and cells do not belong to specific genders"

Conceptual it is, I'll give them that.

We know where this is going, "spermatozoa do not 'belong' to men, but instead belong to 'sperm producing persons'.
