Private Police

These are the same wealthier neighborhoods that papered themselves with BLM signs and agitated for defunding the police. (I’m not assuming. I live here and drive through these chi-chi fru-fru neighborhoods regularly). Convenient, eh?

They honestly think they are good, anti-racist people. I’ve talked to well-meaning BLM-ing whites. They are completely sincere. I don’t know how they manage to do it.

    Some weird way of working around the cognitive dissonance…

    Defund the police is the left’s version of homeschooling…. eviscerate a public good to lower your taxes, pay for your own and too bad for all the poor schmucks who can’t afford it!

    1. The bastards have their own police and then they sneer at us for living in the suburbs to avoid the high crime rates of STL.

      Did you see what happened in Memphis yesterday? The livestreamed shooting spree? Who’d want to live in that without a personal police force?

  2. OT: Queen Elisabeth II passed away today. RIP. As a living symbol of the nation state she did her job superbly well for 70 years. It will be interesting to see how the UK does without her… I’ve seen predictions for the UK after ER that range from no change to total atomization and social collapse.
    Long Live the King.

      1. // My Dad would have been so sad. He loved the Queen. Had a huge portrait of her on his room.

        Why did he love her? People are full of surprises. I would expect him to be for abolishing monarchy. Or was he for abolishing, but liked the queen as a person?

        Today thought that one positive element of British monarchy is to fulfill the desire of quite many people to adore (“be a fan of”) somebody representing an authoritative parent figure.
        The roots of Putin club, Trump lovers or even of the nickname β€œMutti Merkel” are psychological. If people direct those needs at the queen, it’s much healthier than directing them at manipulative and often mistaken politicians. At least, the queen was supposed to be outside of politics and followed those rules, unlike quite a few in her family.

        1. My father was a huge fan of the British monarchy. He was deeply conservative and loved the Victorian era.

          Why did you expect him to be for abolishing the monarchy?

          It’s a great insight. People do seem to have the need to find parent figures in politicians and celebrities. It’s incomplete to me but it’s definitely there.

            You’ve mentioned several times that monarchy should be abolished since it lost all meaning in today’s world.

            One can be deeply conservative, love the Victorian era, yet be for abolishing this institution today, while recognizing its past contributions.

            Why NOT abolish it?

    1. Soviet people HATED Raisa because she had stylish outfits and hairstyles (for a Soviet woman). They couldn’t stand a woman who made it clear she was a woman and not a sexless robot.

        Galeev claims it was also because her husband seemed to have some respect and affection for her (the tsar is not supposed to be tied down by relationships, especially a wife). putin on the other hand discarded his first wife like a used dishrag and fathered children with some other bimbo or two – appropriate behavior for a tsar.

    One can be insane and still be completely sincere. The cognitive dissonance is at levels that would normally be unsustainable because it’s aided and abetted by massive doses of virtue signalling the likes of which a sane, well-adjusted person cannot even imagine.

  7. // Young British people want to ditch the monarchy, poll suggests [May 21, 2021]

    41% of those aged 18 to 24 thought there should now be an elected head of state compared to 31% who wanted a king or queen.

    That was a reversal of sentiment from two years ago, when 46% preferred the monarchy to 26% who wanted it replaced.

    However, overall the survey had better news for Queen Elizabeth, 95, and the royal family, with 61% favouring the monarchy while just under a quarter thought it should be replaced with an elected figure.

    The survey of 4,870 adults found 53% of those aged between 25-49 supported keeping the monarchy, down five percentage points from a similar poll in 2019, while support for an elected head was up 4 points.

    Amongst those aged over 65, 81% backed the monarchy, almost unchanged from two years ago.

    1. “British people want to ditch the monarchy”

      The british monarchy is something people like to moan and complain about, but if it’s abolished… then there’s no more country… a country can’t exist without unifying symbols and the monarchy is all that Britain has. Without it, it’s just a place on the map where a bunch of atomized individuals live (the neoliberal dream but a nightmare for most human beings).
