The strategy that the Left is using to distract from its guilt in the Charlie Kirk assassination is the same as always. A Jewish ideologue (Blumenthal) inflames a bunch of impressionable women (Candace Owens and Megyn Kelly) with a highly emotional story. There was a confrontation! An intervention! People yelled! Text messages were exchanged! People got catty!
Women tend to overestimate the effect that words and aggressive behavior have on men. Somebody was unhappy! The sky is falling! Any disagreement is seen as apocalyptic. Words are violence.
As a result, the goal is achieved, the attention is distracted. The Left once again diverted everything into a convenient sidetrack that leaves them not only blameless but as the heroes of the story.
Completely and totally OT:
Has anybody else on here had their amazon account canceled for no apparent reason?
LikeLike
My husband! Did it happen to you, too?
I wasn’t cancelled but all my reviews were removed and I’m not allowed to leave any new ones. I have no idea what’s happening with Amazon. They are losing it.

I ordered toothpaste yesterday, and got an email notice saying my order was canceled and no further orders would ever be delivered to my house, for the safety of the drivers.
I live in a really safe neighborhood, and the order wasn’t due here for a week at least, so I’m baffled.

Like… was it combustible toothpaste?
LikeLike
anyway, I’m asking here, because this is one of the very few places I make political comments attached to the same email address as my amazon account, so if others have had the same thing happen, that might be a clue.
When did that happen to you and N?
LikeLike
Yes, actually, now that you say it, I use this email account for only two things. This blog and the Amazon account. The email starts with clarissasblog.
I didn’t even notice the connection before you mentioned it. Huh.
I’ll ask N if it was toothpaste he ordered that triggered this. We were completely stumped when it happened because it came out of nowhere. He never published a single review on Amazon in his life. I’ve published a lot.
This is all very recent with his ban coming first.
Does anybody have any insight into this? I’m very glad you mentioned this because I now know this is some sort of a mass campaign and not something we did.
So weird.

What rationale did they give, if any?

For me, it was something vague like “your reviews were flagged for threatening content”, which is nuts. They removed everything, even a review on sanitary pads. Whom did that review threaten? A tampon?
For N it was “suspicious activity related to some of your purchases.” All he ever buys is household stuff and textbooks on Python. I’ve bought some right-wing books and used the word “woke” in my reviews a couple of times. But N”s purchases have been entirely apolitical. I mean, he has bought some pro-Ukrainian merch but that’s it.

Let’s see if other people have similar stories. It would be weird if it’s just me and you.

Yeah, weird and nonsensical, so I figured I’d ask around and see if it’s just me, or a broader trend.

Well, just got a follow-up from Amazon saying it was all a mistake, and I can re-order those things now.
I… am very hesitant to do so, without any further explanation of the problem. I think I’ll go find those things somewhere else anyway.

He has a lot of interesting things to say about amazon (he’s bearish on its future).

All this Left-wing vs Right-wing is just a tactic by the elite to keep us plebs distracted fighting amongst each other over meaningless cultural issues.

You’ll love Michéa because his philosophy stems from a similar foundation. I only found him yesterday but I’m already heavily into him.

Ah very cool. I’ll look him up.

Wait for my reviews. I’ll be obsessing about him for at least a month. 😁😁

“He criticizes the modern left for abandoning working-class and anti-capitalist struggles in favor of a “religion of progress” focused on societal and minority issues. Michéa asserts that the left, by adopting liberal values and prioritizing personal liberation over social cohesion, has become almost indistinguishable from the right.”
Yup, exactly my point. Very happy you brought this philosopher I never head about Clarissa. Seems a lot more relevant than Curtis Yarvin, who’s just a wannabe philosopher without any novel ideas or understanding.

Michéa is a real philosopher. Vauban Books published selected writings in an excellent academic edition, with a prologue by a real professor. I don’t think he’s at all known in the US but that’s about to change.

Perhaps given the current political uproar, it may be time to read(reread) George Orwell’s observations on the reality of socialism, anarchism, communism, and even young female behavior ;-D in “Homage To Catalonia” and maybe C.S. Lewis’ insightful commentary about “men without chests” on The Abolition of Man. Both saw the impacts of the world wars on the working class.

I’m actually reading Michéa’s analysis of Orwell, so you are spot on.

Nobody is blameless, but at some point you need to stop apologizing.

It’s also unhelpful to always blame other people. At some point you need to take responsibility for yourself.
