Opinions, art, debate
Money, money, money. It’s always about money. The much more important question of what these left-wing influencers are actually going to say is never addressed. Will they call everybody a racist and a homophobe? That’s already been done a million times over and everybody is tired of it. It’s not the money the Left lacks. It’s ideas.
Beyond name-calling, what have you got?
I don’t have a problem with Hindu nationalists who don’t want anything from one but woke Indian women are a bloody murder. They seem extremely pissed off and one never knows quite why.
I’m still not over the annoyance caused to me by the expression “to amplify voices” when people came up with “mental load”, which also drives me up a wall.
I did something deeply moronic today, and I’m in the right mood.
Remember the pregnant brain-dead woman we discussed a few days ago? She was 21 weeks pregnant, not nine. But the article I linked did make it sound like it was 9 weeks. This happens every time I access MSM. Lies, manipulations, everything is perverted.
Now imagine what happens to people who get all their news from these sources. And then we wonder why they believe in Canadian concentration camps, insurrections, and crowds of kids perishing from COVID.
This reminded me of yesterday’s discussion about a person finding non-existent “rape culture” in a cartoon.
It’s like when your finger is hurt and everything rubs against that poor finger. It takes on an oversized role in your life. It throbs and pulsates. This is how it is for neurotics. Life itself becomes about their neurosis.
I wish people who keep saying this explained what they mean. Are they claiming that Corey Comperatore was not killed and the other two men were not wounded? That the Comperatore family were what? Actors? That authorities in a Dem state conspired with Trump to create these fake victims? I hope nobody is claiming that because it’s on par with the Sandy Hook shooting being fake.
So if there was a shooting, is the narrative that Trump hired somebody to shoot in his direction? That’s insanely risky. Not a trained sniper but some crazy kid? Trump clearly likes himself very much. He wouldn’t stand there knowing that a weirdo boy was pointing a rifle at him.
People keep repeating that it’s staged. Crowds of people at work believe it. But I can never get them to explain what they mean.
The ongoing discussion about the cartoon I posted yesterday reminded me of a Latin American literature course I took as an undergrad. We read a short story where there was a description of a tree growing in main character’s garden. The professor told us the tree symbolized a penis and went on and on and on about that imaginary penis. I tried very hard to see where she was finding a penis in the description of the tree but failed completely.
When I complained to another student (the burly Mexican dude I wrote about previously), he had an explanation.
“The prof is a lesbian,” he said. “Just let it go, you are too young to get this stuff.”
“What makes us French is that there are no more French. They don’t exist anymore.”
And it’s like that with everything. What makes women women is that there are no more women. There are no more children as a discrete clear category, no more humans. Everything is permeable, everything means its opposite. Democracy means autopen and candidates removed from the ballot because they are icky. Freedom means curfews and cancellations. Poetry means Amanda Gorman. Banned books means incessantly and aggressively peddled ones. Normal means fascist and fascist means normal. Anti-racist means extremely racist.
Can the Left be refashioned into something decent? Can it coalesce around something that will not repel large swaths of people? Can it find a new, more positive direction?
There’s no going back to “the means of production.” Working classes and boutique identities of pansexual, polyamorous gender-queers cannot coexist. Non-binary pansexuals only exist because they own the means of production and they aren’t going to be sharing them with plumbers and grocery clerks. The whole point of being a pansexual gender-queer is to signal contempt for the plumbers, to domineer and eviscerate them.
Do I have any far-right readers? I’d love to know if I do. I’ve never met anybody far-right in RL because where would I find them? But at least to have some come to the blog would be fun.
Dear far-right readers, please make yourselves known.
As for me, I can say that my child is on the regular schedule of childhood vaccinations. We all know how I feel about my child, so that’s the best answer I can give.
