Years ago, in the late 80s early 90s when I had a very short period going to comedy clubs, Jo Brand who was just becoming well known at the time was on the bill once at pub gig in Mile End - but never turned up.
Judging by what mostly passed for her predictable obvious "comedy" at the time (and now) anyway , I didn't miss much.

White liberals are leading a ‘woke’ revolution that is transforming American politics and making Democrats increasingly uneasy with Jewish political power
A detailed survey from the University of Oslo found that in Scandinavia, Germany, Britain, and France, most anti-Semitic violence comes from Muslims, including recent immigrants. Similarly a poll of European Jews found the majority of incidents of anti-Semitism came from either Muslims or from the left; barely 13% traced it to right-wingers. Violence against Jews is worst in places like the migrant dominated suburbs of Paris or Malmo in Sweden.

Hells teeth, I thought Westboro baptist church was bad...
Now THAT'S a group of seriously dodgy wacko's! Hopefully the feds are keeping a very close eye on the bastards.
How can you memorialise someone if they never existed in the first place*?
We have always been at war with EastAsia and all that.

I think that the emergent philosophy (from the alt-right) is that this is a dead parrot...or at least a gassed canary.
The gay or LGBT+ agenda is not the mainstream one - so their concerns are they own and should not be considered a bellwether to gauge freedoms in society* at large. And things were not that bad for them in the old days anyway.
We'll have to see if this viewpoint becomes Overtonly acceptable.
*Not that I would recommend using sheep in this way.

The Youtuber "Comics MATTER w/Ya Boi Zack", aka "Diversity and Comics", aka comicbook creator Richard C. Meyer...
posted a video today, which included an excellent new slogan: "There Is Only One Gender".
It's short & snappy & sounds-woke. And it's great for shutting down gender-whining.
Gender wage gap? Impossible! There Is Only One Gender.
He sez the key is to never explain it. Just declare There Is Just One Gender as if it's self-evident & good & holy.
"You never explain it, because it makes no sense." "Just watch their heads explode."
He said at about 17m30s...
So what would be the correct term to denigrate non-believers in the One True Gender? Unigenderphobic? Since we're all the same gender maybe homogenderphobic?

Raise a hand all those who worship the God Emperor.
The photo of me and my date went viral after our attack – but only as we’re white, feminine and cisgender. Sympathy and action must be for all
...
Many of the outlets publishing my face without permission endorse racist, misogynist and xenophobic platforms and politicians.
...
A refrain I’ve heard ad nauseum is “I can’t believe this happened – it’s 2019”. I disagree. This attack and the ensuing media circus are par for the course in 2019. In both my native United States and here in the United Kingdom, it always has been and still is open season on the bodies of (in no specific order) people of colour, indigenous people, transgender people, disabled people, queer people, poor people, women and migrants. I have evaded much of the violence and oppression imposed on so many others by our capitalist, white supremacist, patriarchal system because of the privileges I enjoy by dint of my race, health, education, and conventional gender presentation. That has nothing to do with the merit of my character.
The press coverage, and timely law enforcement response, was not coincidental to our complexions. Neither was the disproportionate online reaction over the victimisation of a pretty brunette and blonde. The commodification and exploitation of my face came at the expense of other victims whose constant persecution apparently does not warrant similar moral outrage.
The op-ed is a sloppy, meandering mess of resentment, racism, virtue-signaling, victim blaming, outright deception, and socioeconomic illiteracy. In her evidence-free harangue, Chris nonchalantly divides the world into victims (“people of colour, indigenous people, transgender people, disabled people, queer people, poor people, women and migrants”) and oppressors (the ever-omnipresent Mephistopheles of human wickedness, the Straight White Male). In Chris’s world, there is no nuance. People of colour cannot be homophobic, queer people cannot be racist, poor people cannot be malevolent, and straight white males cannot be virtuous. Read it at your own peril here [link corrcted], with the full understanding that you’ll lose ten minutes of your life and walk away more puzzled than when you sat down.
One can only wonder why?

All sympathy gone. Any update on the colour/ethnicity of their attackers yet?
PS. She's lumping 'indigenous people' into her victim status whilst talking of being attacked in England (okay London) anyone gonna tell her the Indigenous people of England are white.

Well, as I've said here before: these adverts (and press reports featuring talking heads from the MOD) do not represent the reality of service life. If you join up today, are gay (or trans*) and expect it to be a wonderful world of unicorns, rainbow flags and total acceptance, you just swallowed the bullshit pushed by the MOD marketing board. Well done, you!
Now, if you're quite finished waving your little flag, I've got a few tasks for you...22 years worth of the fuckers.

There is probably a very good reason. One of them is that perhaps most of the perps are underage? But we can infer that If they were white we would be hearing all about it. No mention of that though.
Also ... I suspect that "Chris" started the punching in response to the coin throwing.
The assault – during which a phone and a bag were stolen – happened in the early hours of 30 May.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of robbery and aggravated burglary on Saturday morning, Scotland Yard said.
Four other men between the ages of 15 and 18 have already been arrested on suspicion of robbery and aggravated grievous bodily harm and are being questioned separately.
BTW: As I recall England has gone through several iterations of population replacement so the "indigenous people" are long gone.
I seem to recall that the people who built Stonehenge replaced the population before them and who in in turn were replaced themselves later on.
There are a few white natives that survived to these modern enlightened times. One of them I believe are the Sámi . There are others ... but there has been some gene flow for example the Canary Islanders (also mentions the Berbers ... (Morocco) not to be confused with the Tuareg).

It's been a while, thought I'd watch some square-bashing.
Well, at the risk of slaughtering a holy cow - the Monty Python sketch is riddled with errors:
1) They call Palin "Sarge" when he's clearly not a 3-bar.
2) Palin calls himself "sergeant major" when he's clearly not a big-badge.
3) He wears staff sergeant rank or, more accurately, colour sergeant rank (crown & three) so should be called "Staff" or "Colour."
4) His words of command ("Sergeant major, marching up and down the square - left, right, left") are utter nonsense - there's a warning order, no dressing, no pace ordered, it's pure bollocks.
5) His grip on his pace-stick is wrong - drill is all about perfection - no drill instructor would be seen dead with his wanking spanner incorrectly deployed.
6) His GS is scruffy as fuck - looks like he ironed it with a brick.
7) Stable belt worn incorrectly - buckles are worn on the side, not the front.
Christ, I could go on and on but I'm boring myself. Point is, there's a world of difference between the two videos - one features actors pretending to be highly trained killers, the other is a Monty Python sketch.
Fucking wooden-tops...

Well this one manages something more. I'm being asked to supply endless sympathy, understanding, empathy, support, patreon dollars and whatever else. Having done so, I'm told it's not enough. All previous expressions of sympathy, understanding, empathy and support where not enough, or were so misguided that they actually increased the harm to the original "victim". Well, I have limits. When I reach them I might say 'Do not be unreasonable, my good fellow, else I lose some of my sympathy for your cause.' Or, in tl:dr terms, 'Fuck off, I've had enough of your nonsense.'
For the unfortunate couple on the bus: I was sorry for what happened, as it should not have occurred. But if you tell me my sorrow is not good enough for you, then I assume you are exploiting your situation. Now I ignore you entirely. This is your fate. You have deserved it. Now fuck off and shut up.

The issue with the trans types though is that they come with a propensity for very expensive and time wasting issues which the military can get saddled with. Justicar did a good video on the issue. His argument, which I agree with, is that the military has a duty to be as effective as possible and in accordance with that principle they should not be recruiting from a demographic which is statistically likely to waste resources when there is no need to do so. Trans people are many times more likely to suffer mental issues and once in, the military is saddled with the responsibility to support them if they transition. Increased psychological screening is not a solution because it would impose a great cost and be of dubious effectiveness.
I'm puttering around the apartment today, sorting loose screws in the bottom of my tool drawers.
I've resumed listening to the holocaust-survivor's memoir.
Just got to a remarkable part (2hours47minutes). There was a camp warden-- an SS commander-- who secretly bought medicine for his prisoners with his own money & never struck a prisoner. When the American liberators came-- 3 hungarian-jew prisoners hid the commander in the woods & refused to surrender him to the Americans-- unless the Americans agreed not to kill him. The American commander complied-- & put the warden in charge of collecting from the nearby Bavarian villagers-- for the liberated camp prisoners to wear.
