You Did This

~ Clarissa ~ 46 Comments

A guy called BAH won the Internet with the following comment today:

You are a liberal. You’re concerned that the government has stifled a man’s speech over misinformation. Tomorrow you will wake up and buy your morning coffee, but your card gets declined. Bank of America says that you violated terms and conditions. There’s a grainy photograph of you from five years ago, huddled shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of racial justice protesters. This photo was published by the FBI, and someone recognized you. Likely someone you considered a friend.

You are a liberal. You’re concerned that the home of AOC was raided by the FBI. Several of her staffers and lawyers have been imprisoned. An open letter was signed by one hundred national security experts, stating that she is an agent of Venezuela. Signatories include Nick Fuentes, Bronze Age Pervert, and cumpumper1488.

You are a liberal. You’re concerned that your capital hill district was taken over by a right wing militia. They’ve erected blockades and patrol the perimeter with AR15’s. The government does not intervene, they surrender the nearest police station, they negotiate and request permission for EMT access. A young black man gets into a shootout with the militia. He’s given a trial. Right Wing shock troops gather outside the courthouse daily. He is found guilty. Later, one of his jurors gives an interview wearing a Proud Boys t-shirt.

You are a liberal. You’ve been sentenced to ten years in prison over a meme. You are a liberal. Your truck left skid marks on an American flag mural and you’re charged with a hate crime. You are a liberal. You trained your pug to do a communist salute and now the government has some questions for you. You are a liberal. You’ve been kicked out of school. Your kidney transplant was denied. You’re on a no fly list. You can’t get a bank account. You’ve been fired. Your friends are denouncing you. Protestors are at your front door. You are a liberal. And the right has gone bananas.

I think he ran out of space because there are many more examples that could be added. But the point is that liberals live like this happened to them when in reality they did all this and so much more to everybody else.

Video in English: BLM in Ukraine

~ Clarissa ~ 10 Comments

I was going to post this story, as I usually do, but I realized that it’s easier to record it instead of writing it out and adding the images to a post. It’s a Friday in September, the hardest month both personally and at work, so I’m beat. The story in the video is good, though. It is about the efforts to make the BLM a big thing in Ukraine. It’s in English, so everybody can watch. I’m not a big maker of videos, so any comment or criticism is welcome.

Human Variety

~ Clarissa ~ 1 Comment

I’m disheartened by the endless discussions of how Tyler Robinson couldn’t have possibly used the word outfit because men don’t say outfit. Couldn’t have said vehicle because everybody says car instead of vehicle. Couldn’t have possibly written text messages without emojis because Zoomers use emojis.

People need radically to expand their understanding of the range of human variety. You can say that something is unlikely. But you can’t say anything is impossible in human behavior.

I particularly don’t understand references to what people normally do as an attempt to explain Robinson’s behavior. He’s clearly not like other people. He was living with a trans furry boyfriend. He shot a stranger in the neck. After all that, saying that he couldn’t have used the word outfit because that’s unusual makes no sense. Guess what else he did that’s unusual!

Absolutely anything is possible when it comes to human behavior. The variety is endless.

Food Regions

~ Clarissa ~ 22 Comments

Everybody in their right mind would choose D.

A is a non-starter because is there any food there at all except rotting shark heads?

H and G are obesity-inducing vile slop.

F can be passable but that’s about it.

B has a few nice things.

C and E are third-world nasties.

Everything that’s good foodwise is in D.

Tenacious Pursuit

Let nobody say I’m not tenacious in my pursuit of reading matter:

A Spectacle for the Low-IQ

~ Clarissa ~ 9 Comments

What exactly is the photographic evidence going to be of, I wonder?

Yes, Candace Owens is a pest and it’s only because so many people are low-IQ that she has such prominence. We are all hostages of these people because they vote. The more I observe this crowd, the more I wonder if Curtis Yarvin is right and democracy is beyond redemption.

A Dark Path

~ Clarissa ~ 9 Comments

The Biden administration forced Twitter to shut down Alex Berenson’s account. Berenson is suing Biden over it because he has it all in writing. The evidence provided by hundreds of people that the Biden administration pressured every social media company to censor people for the mildest of views is overwhelming.

It’s very entertaining to see these pearl-clutching posts in 2025. The very fact that they managed not to know about any of this in 2020 but they know what’s happening now shows when we were on the dark path in question.

Book Notes: Álvaro Pombo’s Gay Novel

~ Clarissa ~ 23 Comments

Contra natura – or “against nature” – is the magnum opus of the famous Spanish author Álvaro Pombo who finally decided to lay out his understanding of homosexuality after a lifetime of being openly gay. Pombo doesn’t write about the gays who imitate the heterosexual setup by getting married and setting up joint households. For those gays he has quite a bit of contempt because the kind of homosexuality that fails to embrace its unnatural (contra natura), anti-social dimension is, in Pombo’s eyes, pathetic and vaguely disgusting.

Pombo’s novel is about another kind of gays, the ones who are gay in order to avoid the complexities placed by women on the way to sex. That there is such a duality among homosexuals – the ones who want to be (or to marry) men who are like women and the ones that want a sex life free from female patterns – was a commonplace even in the prissy US 15 years ago. But now it’s all a big secret and we are supposed to pretend that the entirety of homosexuality can be reduced to the lifestyle embraced by Pete Buttigieg.

Pombo is blissfully unaware of political correctness and writes his novel to show what happens to the non-Buttigieg gays in old age. What do you do when you are 65, and your body simply can’t give you rapid-fire sex acts with a large variety of new partners? You have to buy the companionship of young men, Pombo says. You have to open yourself up to humiliation and abuse. To Pombo, that is perfectly fine. The gays, he says, should not be like the heterosexual

shit-eaters whom we have always envied and hated. Our purest connection is with failure, with marginalization and with death.

And that, Pombo believes, is fine. Gay men are the shadow of self-satisfied bourgeois propriety. They are a conduit to the darker, more painful and chaotic side of human beings, to the Dionysian rites of pleasure and pain that inspire non-reproductive creation. Instead of running down the streets in Pride parades, says Pombo, the love that dared not speak its name should now choose to not speak it in order to remain on the margins where, says Pombo, it belongs.

I am a heterosexual woman, and much of the novel’s text was hard for me to understand. It’s a beautifully written work of art. Pombo is one of the Spanish greats, having received every literary prize in existence, and deservedly so. But it took me far longer to read the novel because none of it was understandable to me or rooted in any sort of intuitive motivation. Which, of course, is the point.

I recommend the novel only if you are VERY open-minded, both from the left and from the right.

Q&A about Jimmy Kimmel

~ Clarissa ~ 10 Comments

This is very dishonest, and you know it. You are vitiating your own reality with subservient lies, and your subservience is to people who think you are garbage. Please reconsider.

To answer the question, as I pointed out only yesterday, every conservative of note expressed immediate and passionate repudiation for Pam Bondi’s statement that there’s something called “hate speech.” You will not find any conservative of note who hasn’t spoken out angrily about Pam Bondi over this. Matt Walsh ranted against her for 30 minutes on his most recent show and he’s one of so many that there was literally nothing in my X thread yesterday beyond angry denunciations of Bondi.

As to Jimmy Kimmel, your analysis is off because you are trying to squeeze reality into the Procrustean bed of ideology. The reality is this:

I’ve never watched an episode of Jimmy Kimmel. I wouldn’t be able to identify him visually. I know nothing about him. You know why? Because I’m not seventy. Nobody in the prime viewership demographics watches these shows. If I ask my students, do you think they’ll know Jimmy Kimmel? Of course, not. Everybody has their favorite podcast, YouTube channel, Rumble show, etc. The media landscape has changed. Networks are using any opportunity to get rid of these outdated shows of the prediluvian format. If Kimmel didn’t give the network such a juicy reason to fire him by saying verifiable lies, they would have fired him anyways. Like so many of the erstwhile stars who haven’t been able to catch up with the times.

Television is failing to catch up with the times when everybody carries a handheld TV with limitless options. That could be an interesting discussion. I believe, for example, that TV should market itself as a healthier, more wholesome alternative to YouTube for kids. Yesterday, I saw a social media discussion among conservative moms who don’t know which YouTube channel to show their infants instead of the horrid pedo Ms Rachel. I tried gently to probe why 10-month-old babies need to watch anything at all. The answer was that this is the best way to teach babies to speak. This is what we are dealing with. Moms need YouTube personalities to teach their kids to speak. Humanity must have been mute the entire time before screens were invented. These are conservative moms, mind you. They at least vaguely want to parent. The rest have handed over the raising of their children to pervy Ms Rachels with zero qualms.

TV could choose to remain relevant by reorienting its whole role in life. But that’s too bold, too exhausting. Networks are dropping the ballast like late night comedy shows because, honestly, how can anybody watch them with children and jobs anyway? To mask their standard austerity-based layoffs, they are using ideological excuses. It’s the oldest propaganda trick in existence.

However, if Kimmel’s firing were completely ideological, it still wouldn’t be censorship. Look at Tucker Carlson. He was fired from Fox. Now he has his own mega successful, thriving channel. Kimmel can find many more viewers than he has now if he’s got even a glimmer of talent. But I don’t know if he does because I’ve never watched him.

Lenin in Exile

~ Clarissa ~ 10 Comments

We had a joke in the USSR. Young children are shown a painting titled “Lenin in Exile.” In the painting, there’s a tent in the woods. Lenin’s wife and one of his collaborators are lying in the tent, half-naked.

“But where’s Lenin?” one of the kids asks timidly.

“Please pay attention,” the teacher answers severely. “Lenin is in exile.”

P.S. To the person who downvoted, yes, I removed the names Krupskaya and Dzerzhinsky from the joke to make it more readable. Big bleeping deal. It’s OK to be a purist but you don’t need to be a bore.
