What I took for a grip on the rifle is a sling. She's packing a subcompact semi-auto, not a revolver, maybe 6+1? depending on what it's chambered in.

Anyhoo, neither of them have any business owning a gun.

Last month I heard on Fox news antifa would be coming to my town so I strapped on my maga hat, took a deep breath of clean american air (with no mask because it is a liberal hoax) and decided I needed to get fueled up before I went to fight these anti american thugs!

I grabbed a monster energy and put my hungryman dinner in the microwave for 35 god bless americas (comes out to 3 and a half patriotic minutes).

I took my delicuous sodium filled food out of the microwave and placed it on my lap ready to eat and watch more fox. THE FOOD BURNED MY CHEST, LAP, AND LEGS!

NOWHERE ON THE BOX DOES IT SAY TO EAT WITH A SHIRT AND PANTS ON AND NOW I HAVE 3RD DEGREE BURNS THANKS TO ANTIFA!

However, I got Mark on the job representing me, he says we can sue CNN, Hillary Clinton, Antifa, AND Hungryman! I can't wait for the pay day I deserve thanks to this liberal
hoax. I admit Marks tactics are unorthodox, when I knocked on the door to his office he pointed a gun directly at my face as he opened his door. Little did I know he's just a constitutionalist and was exercising his 2nd amendment right, what a patriot. GOD BLESS YOU MARK!

More community based safety patrol action:

https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/cri ... 260616001/
Hall, 31, watched Tuesday's confusion and chaos unfold: from activists claiming the three-unit house was a haven for sex trafficking, to police finding no evidence to support that claim, to a confrontation involving tear gas and more.

By the time it ended, the house had been set on fire — twice — and Hall and her family had been displaced.

The way to tell people to stop treating people differently according to race, is not to codify treating people according to race as is what the Democrats are already doing in places like where they said that you don't have to wear a mask if you're non-white. this is not going to solve anything and giving this power of the state behind treating people differently according to race is going to make things much worse which I think is what people like FTP want from their lovely mountain homes.

This aggression will not stand!
The evolution of the social prohibition against blackface shows what happens when no pushback is given against professional victim activists. Originally the prohibition was just, in that blackface was primarily used in mistrel shows which generally depicted black people as amiable, lazy idiots. Perhaps worse, it was a rare genuine example of cultural appropriation where black music was commercialized to the benefit of white producers and performers because the public rejected seeing it if actually performed by black artists. This was successful, and genuine blackface all but disappeared by the '60s (it was always mostly a nineteenth century thing). However, with no pushback, over time the idea took hold that any depiction of a white person in black or darkened skin was offensive to black people and we come to the current farce where even 100% satirical uses of darkening the skin with no relation to its minstrel show past is enough for severe social ostracism.

I think the objection to blackface is similar to the objection to The Little Rascals/ Our Gang.

Those who object to it-- such as Bill Cosby-- say their objection is that it's rrracist.

But I think they're also objecting to the lower-class country bumpkin-ness of it. It's like -they- have a problem with hicks. They don't like the implication that they-too might be lowly folk.

I get it, sure, they don't want to be forever-relegated to slavelike low status. But, to me, that's like a white person rejecting Charlie Chaplin or Fatty Arbuckle-- or Beavis & Butthead & Hank HIll!... because they portrayed lovable losers, not aspirational-alpha-bosses. I think that's a crazy thing to do-- that's discarding the universal human-ness of the Tragedy & Comedy masks. In favor of constructivist propaganda.

Yeah, a white guy in blackface raises doubts about his motive... but even-then... I don't buy that it was always 100% hate-based. Some of those old timey white blackface guys were obviously enamored with the black culture they impersonated & even mocked.

It's an odd microcosm of how races mixed & clashed. Often cringey-- but are we really so fragile we can't handle some unsanitized cringe?

A handy aphorism, which I've been trying to edit-down to bumper-sticker size:

When someone expresses ideas which sound 'racist', that should be treated the same-as saying something which suggests they believe in astrology.

Years ago, I considered discarding every girl on Tinder who made astrology smalltalk. Then I reconsidered and kept fucking them.

A rebel flag hanging in someone's garage is like a zodiac sign tattoo. Might mean something sinister, might not. It's a safe bet to just not care.

Politicians, liberal arts professors, family doctors, cops, virologists, grade school teachers... catch 'em agreeing with something 'racist' or with astrology... that's almost never going to matter. Even in cases where it matters, sorting-for 'racism' won't detect problems. It will lead to pointless, destructive witch hunts and even-dumber anti-racist clown-dogma.

Beavis and Butthead are loveable? More like feckless to the point of sociopathy. Perhaps that's just me not understanding the characters. My impression is that Judge intended Beavis and Butthead to be an unsympathetic portrayal in contrast to Hank Hill. Hill is basically good natured, the other two are more inclined to torture cats.

Humans are ridiculous. We stare TV commercials & laugh at farts. Puberty in particular is a stage of impulsive acting-out, experimenting with patently bad-ideas, exercise of poor taste in clumsy attempts to establish our growing individual identity/ vs. how mommy tried to form us.

Aristotle said Drama the drama-masks of Tragedy & Comedy-- arouse "terror and pity". In a Tragedy, we feel terror that our problems might tie us in similar knots to the poor wretch on stage. In Comedy we feel pity for the hopeless cartoon of a character-- who is far-more screwed-up than we could ever be.

In both cases, our attention alternates-- between focus on our own usual me me me inner-monologue-- and focus on the not-us life of the character on stage-- then back to ourselves as we recognize our own folly.

It's normal for kids to be sociopaths, until they stumble into maturity. It's also normal, reflecting back, to misremember our past-selves, as if the person-we-are-now merely inhabited a younger body. We forget how clueless and irresponsible we once were. Beavis & Butthead are like the monkey cage at the zoo. Funny reminders of our not-so-glorious origins.


Beavis gets a nose bleed. Butthead sticks a tampon in his nose.

I don't think I mis-remember myself that badly, at least not to the point of whitewashing. There are occasions when reflections on my childhood self bring on a cold sweat. Some of the thoughts I had and things I did were not that pleasant. Although I generally loved animals, there were odd occasions in childhood when I got some kind of perverse urge to treat them cruelly. I suspect it stemmed from some kind of need to validate feelings of unworthiness or self-hatred. I don't think it's that uncommon. Probably explains why I am a soft touch when it comes to animals now. Point is that it didn't make me feel good at the time and it definitely wasn't done carelessly without some kind of emotional turmoil. Beavis and Butthead show a complete absence of empathy or self-awareness, in fact the show is at pains to show them blank and almost uncomprehending when the usual cues for such things occur. Hank Hill is more of a sympathetic look at human silliness whereas Beavis and Butthead is a scathing criticism of a certain suburban culture. They are morally stunted cretins growing up in a cultural wasteland and are probably going to stay that way.

Interestingly, the Indian (Asian) understanding seems to be that children are empathetic and caring but grow out of it into adulthood. That may even be the traditional understanding of all cultures where life is hard and uncompromising.

Of course blacks aren't shaken by the aftershocks of slavery, it's pampered white kids who are shaken for them handing out the halos and the recipients are not going to let the accompanying free passes go unused. I can understand the anger and frustration of Americans at seeing their institutions trashed, monuments desecrated and private property violated with near impunity. At least they have a reasonable expectation that sanity will prevail. Now imagine that you have a government enamoured with the CCP way of doing things that wants to implement it's National Democratic Revolution, which is just another term for communist one party state. Imagine that government uses anti-white rhetoric with impunity and implements affirmative action against the interests of a white minority. Imagine that government, having spent 26 years bankrupting the country through corruption, "cadre deployment" of incompetent government lackeys to state run enterprises and general incompetence is now making noises about "resetting the racist economy". Imagine the courts in that country affirming that it is legal to target government aid by race in a circumstance where government has implemented emergency measures putting people out of business or employment. Now imagine that you're a white property owner or renter and some random black people start cutting down your fence, telling you that your time is over now whitey, and the police refuse to act. There is no TV coverage, nobody gives a crap and if news does leak out the government will just waffle the allegations away.

Funny moment today, as I overheard a phone call, a model casting guy for a major fashion label talking to executive VP.

The VP was looking at recent photoshoots of models in the brand's clothes-- and she was concerned that the models weren't racially-diverse enough.

Casting guy yelled back at her-- reminding her that the photos were taken at the height of Covid. And the solution they had arrived at-- was to ask the photographers they use-- to submit pictures of the people they already live-with. The photographers with the best looking roommates were hired to use the roommates as models-- so as to not break quarantine.

"You insisted on shooting in Amsterdam! I found you three photographers who live with black guys! And two of them are REALLY BLACK! AFRICAN! I had to look under tulips and windmills to find them! We aren't sleeping here! We're all WOKE! We were already awake-- before all this stuff now! I've worked here 15 years-- I know what I'm doing!"

One thing you can never say about Jordan Peterson is that he has an idealised perspective on life or that he ever denied the potential for misery. His advice, if it can be called that, has always been about doing what one can to make the best of things. The hate mob responded to his fall as if he were L. Ron Hubbard selling the path to Homo Novis. Black and white thinking extremists can't see anything but extremism in others. Perhaps what sets them off most is his insistence on the value of taking responsibility for one's own condition, which is not the same thing as absolving everyone for the wrongs they've done you. It goes against their collectivist and victimhood mentality. Anyway, I'm glad he's getting better and a pre-emptive fuck you to any sanctimonious fools trying the "I hope you've learned from this" line.

The blackface minstrel show in its 1840-1870 heyday was more often than not abolitionist, and more often sympathetic than mean-spirited. It was not to modern tastes, but was extremely popular for reasons that seem to have little to do with the racism that moderns often assume must have been central.

I just read a rather silly article on the "racist past" of 'O Canada' which wanted us to feel some sort of shame that the composer worked with blackface minstrel shows just after the U.S. Civil war - and completely omitted any mention that the composer had enlisted in the Union side and had been wounded.

One thing you can never say about Jordan Peterson is that he has an idealised perspective on life or that he ever denied the potential for misery. His advice, if it can be called that, has always been about doing what one can to make the best of things. The hate mob responded to his fall as if he were L. Ron Hubbard selling the path to Homo Novis. Black and white thinking extremists can't see anything but extremism in others. Perhaps what sets them off most is his insistence on the value of taking responsibility for one's own condition, which is not the same thing as absolving everyone for the wrongs they've done you. It goes against their collectivist and victimhood mentality. Anyway, I'm glad he's getting better and a pre-emptive fuck you to any sanctimonious fools trying the "I hope you've learned from this" line.
His advice to "Go and clean your room!" pisses off the radicals because they know they are acting like children...

Originally the prohibition was just, in that blackface was primarily used in mistrel shows which generally depicted black people as amiable, lazy idiots.
The blackface minstrel show in its 1840-1870 heyday was more often than not abolitionist, and more often sympathetic than mean-spirited. It was not to modern tastes, but was extremely popular for reasons that seem to have little to do with the racism that moderns often assume must have been central.

I just read a rather silly article on the "racist past" of 'O Canada' which wanted us to feel some sort of shame that the composer worked with blackface minstrel shows just after the U.S. Civil war - and completely omitted any mention that the composer had enlisted in the Union side and had been wounded.

This is a classic case of anti-racist satire blackface, which I'm surprised is still up on Farttube:

The problem with Zeno was, his arguments never seemed to reach the finish line.

Wouldn't have taken a woman with the Twitter handle 'The Science Femme, Woman in Stem' to be a very articulate and passionate anti-identitarian.
Her entire Twitter feed is killing it.

That's because he was never serious about it: he always did things by halves.

I think that leaves Mel Brooks and Bob Newhart as the sole surviving comedians of the era. When they go, it will be extra sad because it will feel like the era of funny for funny's sake, socially conscious but non PC comedy has truly ended.

Maryam Namazie, this is how you snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

My hope was that @imamofpeace would retweet. I suspect that he may be less inclined to do so now. Perhaps I am wrong, I certainly hope so.
