I get what they mean-- they're against local police running around in tactical pants and up-armored vehicles--

but the actual military is way more disciplined & trained & not-distorted by a corrupt union. And the military is more racially-integrated, with far less income inequality-- than the civilian communities surrounding the military-- both within the US & overseas-- in wartime & in peace.

'Militarize the police' would be a shorter route to better policing... especially with the uniform federal oversight & funding & control the protesters want.

(not me. I'm 'privatize the police'/ and don't make it a monopoly).
I say turn the police into a giant reality show and let the ad revenue pay for law enforcement.

My indoctrinated cousin sez her BIPOC (yes, she used that term) re-educators told her not to read White Fragility because it's by a white woman who could never comprehend what Black bodies experience.

Alaska Airlines flight makes an emergency landing in Seattle after passenger threatens to 'kill everybody on this plane unless you accept Jesus was a black man'

Video shows the man moving through the cabin of Flight 422 bound for Chicago O' Hare yelling that he is going to 'kill everybody' and to just 'accept it'

He yells that he'll 'kill everybody on this plane unless you accept Jesus was a black man'

Multiple times in the video from Saturday he shouts 'die in the name of Jesus'

'The man became extremely belligerent and physically aggressive during the ascent,' an Alaska Airlines spokesperson said about what occurred after 11.15pm

Three passengers, including a law enforcement officer, and a flight attendant helped to subdue the man

The plane returned to Seattle-Tacoma Airport, the flight was canceled and the remaining passengers were booked on another flight to Chicago

My indoctrinated cousin continues to try and convince me of systemic racism. Her argument consists of parroting woke talking points and naming random 'victims' like Breonna Taylor and Philandro Castile. When I demanded data, not anecdotes, she offered that blacks are killed by police at a higher rate than whites. When I countered that blacks also commit crimes at a higher rate, I got:

(29.72 KiB) Downloaded 225 times
and was informed that even though that is true, it's racist to mention it. Because blacks are forced by poverty to commit crimes. When I pressed her on how that made policing systemically racist, she declared she and her BIPOC friends were offended by a post of mine: "Who put these nooses in my shoelaces?!"

Victims of police fuck-ups most definitely. Of systemic racism, no.

The woman I forget her name who was babysitting her nephew and thought the cop sneaking around was a predator was also armed. I get your point, but I'd gladly let an interlocutor attempt to spring a 'gotcha' on me with these, as they evidence incompetence, not racism.

Depends. Was he wearing a mask?

Went out to walk dog & gawk at the crime scene. The street is crowded with people, because the City has authorized restaurants to build shantytown seating in the parking lane in front of each restaurant.

Someone kept yelling 'Put on your mask, you idiot!' at me. I didn't want to look: Earlier today uptown-- an old man yelled at my tranny friend Fang-- for wearing his mask on his neck. Fang yelled "Mind your own business", but was upset by the encounter & was tempted to break his five years of sobriety. Call me to fret-- until he ate a Kit-kat. He sez it's an AA trick for getting a quick high without relapsing.

Finally, I looked at the yell-er yelling at me. It was Jerry-- awesome old kook with a cane-- just fucking with me. Looks like Riff Raff from Rocky Horror.

Dog was upset by all the people. Owner of a Japanese restaurant said 'hi' to my gf. We stopped to talk. Dog was uncomfortable with the bottleneck of people on sidewalk. Jap reached to pet dog-- dog bit his fingers! No blood, but he clamped down hard-enough to make it swell. Fortunately, that guy is a fanatical fan of the Rolling Stones & I have a bottle of Rolling 5t0nes 50th Anniversary Wine, courtesy of Keith Richards' personal assistant. So-- tomorrow I'll make amends.

So much activity. Entire walk was 2 blocks. Going outside is overrated.

For years I've heard the name Mencius Moldbug, but didn't follow-up to see what he's about. I think he views history like a banquet, where a great patriarch orchestrates legions of artisans -- skilled inheritors of venerable craft traditions-- to build the banquet hall & furnishings & feast. And then the mass come devour. And, as the party continues, more & more restrictive rules are discarded. Which optimizes the party: drink more, fuck someone else's wife, steal the silver, burn the furniture, cannibalize the host. The cool charismatic celebrity influencers are 'leaders' in the pillaging.

Which seems like a travesty. Except any meal is a similar microcosm of destruction. Forever preserving the heaping food-plate on a high pedestal wouldn't make sense, either.
So maybe it's a healthy cycle of production and consumption.

I don't know much about Moldbug. I think his recent thrust is Going Galt-- stop trying to win-over the plunderers. Offer minimal compliance with their rule (pay taxes, follow laws & customs)-- but seek out others who share your old-guard preferences & network with them & fade out of the spotlight.

Listened to all of it. Mostly interesting. John Wood seems to have the highest verbiage to idea ratio. At the end Brett was trying to get them all to agree to backing his Unity2020 idea, but no one took the bait. Also at the end hey disagreed with Brett's idea that more money for schools (for example) would improve outcomes. The pushback was that it is more a cultural issue than a school funding issue.

They've been throwing gobs of money at schools since before I started going to school, and the schools have just been going steadily downhill the entire time. The call for even more money is on par with the barber-surgeon prescribing even more bleeding because the patient is growing weaker.

The following episode-- with Brett & his wife-- is kookiest stuff I've heard from them. Brett proposes a 6 week long uber-lockdown... everybody is supposed to stock-up with enough toilet paper & food to act like we're in a fallout shelter.
Ok Strangelove Boomer.
That's entirely not going to happen-- so if That's What It Takes to stop Covid-- then it's time to cancel all these useless half-lockdowns which apparently Don't Work-- except to destroy society.

Another fuckwit idea came from wifey-- she says it's dangerous for kids to be home with their families-- because they'll be beaten & raped. Sure, yeah-- your children need the benevolent eyes of the government watching over their safety. Only unionized public school teachers are allowed to fuck your kids.

Heather Heying is (knowingly? unknowingly?) echoing a recent piece of garbage academia from Harvard-- about how homeschooling is a threat to kids, because parents are a threat to their kids. (Erin O'Donnell, 'The Risks of Homeschooling', Harvard Magazine).

Harvard tried to organize a Ban Homeschooling conference-- but they had to cancel it when an pro-homeschooling protest conference shined a spotlight on Harvard's crappy activists.

One of the Harvard conference organizers was law professor Jim Dwyer who contends, “the reason parent-child relationships exist is because the State confers legal parenthood.” If the state says you aren't the parent of your kids-- then you aren't. So your kids belong to the state.

(School Sucks, Reason Magazine & Tom Woods all covered Harvard's suckitude. I guess Brett's wife doesn't follow those podcasts.)

Agreed. It is not that expensive to teach someone the basics. It is the attitude of the students, their parents, the teachers and the community that matter. There are some cultures that do not value leaning, regardless of the level of school funding.

— Delayed Gratification
— Politeness
— “Objective, rational thinking”

We are on the verge of civil war. No hyperbole.
For whatever reason it is being pushed hard now and everyone is going along with it.

The information on the graphic is from 1990. That is how long it has been festering in academia. I remember hearing the "different conception of time" excuse for why certain groups can't be expected to show up for work on time in the 1980s, so it goes back even further.

Thanks for the link, I almost forgot to send them my customary generous contribution!
I am mostly a socialist, but as a rich one I appreciate a good product when I see it.
Also, next time I see my buddy George Soros I will tell him to support these guys!

Seen that on twotter yesterday. Very heavy-handed approach and bad optics for the police. If they do jail that dude (I'm hearing that a seven year stretch is on the table), it's sure to cause more unrest although thankfully the "perp" is white - if he was melanated (is that the word?) cities would burn!

Manspreading charges have been dropped. Maybe because-- at 3m21s-- a lime green bra strap is momentarily visible on s/h/it's shoulder. But the cop must have read too much Harry Potter.

Seriously, tho... that train station at Lexington & 51st Street-- has many surveillance cameras. There's gotta be more video of the incident.
