The gruesome silliness of Canada's "national newspaper":

All in a day’s work: What we talk about when we talk about emotional labour

How the fate of South Africa’s white farmers became a myth used by Trump and the far right

The first link is to an article of expected content: I deserve much gratitude because I choose to do things in a womanly way, whereas you male fuckers wouldn't bother. Great advert for MGTOW.

The second one is more worrying (we can cope with womanly stuff and have done so for centuries) in that it deliberately misrepresents the situation in RSA by cherry-picking crime statistics, ignoring the actual history of the land and pretending that the passage by parliament of a constitutional amendment to expropriate land without compensation is nothing to be concerned about as it will take a long time - a year or two - to become reality. In what universe is seeing the ANC drive a previously successful country into economic failure through racial hatred a matter for liberal self-congratulation?

Peez told Carrier to sue him. Oops.

https://i.imgur.com/xSd20pK.png

Now Carrier is slipping into caped crusader mode. He's after something more than personal redress.

Meanwhile, Peez has stupidly taunted him with his "Unseemly Gloating" video. OOPS :D

Oh fuck me! This is sooo glorious! Come on Carrier, you crazy little hobbitdick. We want to see you dance into that courtroom, collar raised, and make Meyers squeal.

PZ is an idiot. He apparently dared him to sue, snivelled about getting sued, then dared him to keep suing him after the case has stalled instead of just shutting up and hoping Carrier and his backers just lose interest. That stupid drunken gloating on the video probably did more to raise money for Carrier than he could ever hope to get himself.
The other plaintiffs must just love him for this. :lol:
Notice the silence from Zvan, the other one time bigshots in the Minnesota Mafia.

[ConcentratedH2O, OM]

Actually, this could be interesting: how long do Meyers and Co. get to sit on the gofundme money for? Because it would be hilarious if they get forced to donate the excess to wherever it was promised, and then Carrier comes back at them with lawsuit round 2. They would be cashless, and would have already bled their supporters once. Where/who would the next round of funding for legal representation come from?

Keep laughing, Meyers...

Welp,

We all saw this coming. Dutch man, 69, starts legal fight to identify as 20 years younger. Pretty sure I have seen this reported earlier elsewhere but now that the Grauniad has taken note it is now official. Right? Right?

Emile Ratelband told a court in Arnhem in the Netherlands that he did not feel “comfortable” with his date of birth, and compared his wish to alter it to people who identified as transgender.

...

The judge conceded that the ability to change gender was a development in the law. “I agree with you: a lot of years ago we thought that was impossible,” he said. But he asked the applicant how his parents would feel about 20 years of Ratelband’s life being wiped off the records.

I came across this the other day and I thought it was a pretty good explanation of the frequent cray-cray we see all over the place, for example Sarah Jeong, her racist utterances and subsequent whitewashing by various media.

You might be thinking WTF? Clearly she is racist, and why are all these white people not only defending her but saying the same kind of stuff, not to mention all the other bat-shit crazy utterances we have come to expect from the usual radical intersectional moonbats.

Anyway the link to the full text is here :

An Explanation of Social Justice Prompted by a Rimworld SJW's Tantrum and Mod Sabotage

Below is the text, edited for readability and trimmed out most of the game related stuff which I suspect most people here are not interested in.

Social Justice mandates activism and condemns inaction against oppression as implicit support for oppressive power structures.

anyone who is not actively promoting victim groups relative to oppressor groups (either by helping the victim group or hurting the oppressor group) is said to be complicit in their oppression.

Combine "indifference equals support" with some other unconventional definitions that Social Justice likes and you get some really weird results.

For example, most people think that "white supremacists" are people who think that whites are better than non-whites. Social Justice holds that white supremacists are anyone who is not acting to pull whites, an oppressor group, down relative to non-whites, a victim group.

Under this view, the idea that everyone should be treated as individuals without regard to the color of their skin is a white supremacist belief. Because of this, self-avowed neo-Nazis and black people who don't care about race are both categorized as white supremacists.

Now, you might not think that being a straight white male whose gender matches their sex is a terrible thing, but Social Justice categorizes men, white people, straight people, and cis-gendered people as oppressor groups, and the combination of them is greater than the sum of their parts according to an algorithm of oppressor/victim status calculation called "intersectionality."

Think of it as the pentathalon of the Oppression Olympics, and your final score is your "privilege," or the amount of unearned power society gives you for free according to your membership in oppressor groups.


There is a moral aspect to this as well, where being a member of victim groups is virtuous and being a member of oppressor groups is like Original Sin: you're a bad person by default, and the proper response to having privilege is to apologize, acknowledge how evil/privileged you are, and dedicate your life to promoting the interests of victim groups with all of the power that society has unfairly given to you as an oppressor.

Now, you might think that thinking all white people are evil is racist, but Social Justice defines racism as power plus prejudice, so only white people can be racist.

You also might think that thinking all men are evil is sexist, but the same definition applies, so only men can be sexist. Hating white people, hating men, and especially hating white men is a way that Social Justice Warriors signal their own virtue and raise their status within their peer group.

By calling them a "cis straight white male" they are emphasizing the other person's status as a member of oppressor groups along all of the axes of race, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

In other words, the worst thing ever. The flip side of this intersectional evil is establishing one's virtue by claiming membership of as many victim groups as possible ("I'm a genderqueer demisexual otherkin Muslim who identifies as a spotted owl. I am currently in an open relationship with 8 of the 11 herbs and spices in the Colonel's secret recipe. My pronouns are xrt, xrs, and xryq."), resulting in a person who is an impossibly unique combination of traits known as a "snowflake".

Hopefully this helps explain why justice and Social Justice are not compatible, and what is happening when you see someone acting crazy in the way that the modder was. It's not that they are an isolated case of an individual losing their marbles, but rather that they subscribe to an ideology that has twisted their worldview to produce behavior like that.

This is known. The most pernicious consequence is the pressure to maintain victimhood. The main reason MRAs are so hated is the challenge they present to the victim narrative. Feminism would crumble if the hypnotic trance of gynocentrism were lifted.

The behaviour is easily explicable once one learns to speak Humanities, but I recall the situation at the Pit's inception when we naively assumed the PZs would see reason if only the right words could be found. Surely it would just take that one post to clear up misunderstandings. Innocent times. In only 7 years the culture has descended into madness.

For me that moment came only a year of two ago when PZ did the podcast with "whatzhisname" about implied racism, privilege and intention is not an excuse. There's that moment of epiphany when you realize a person is not operating off any misapprehension of fact. They're just nuts. That was it for me.

Union rejects Canada Post offer of 'cooling off' period with mediation amid strike

Canada Post's largest union has rejected the mail carrier's proposal of a "cooling off" period followed by mediation that would have brought an end to all strike activity until January.

But the impact of those actions are being felt nationally, as the postal service says it currently has about 550 trucks full of parcels waiting to be delivered, and it has asked the postal services of other countries to stop sending things to Canada until it can clear it.

I have several parcels still waiting for delivery.

Parcel 1. Shipped on the 9th November and hit the border of Canukistan the next day. Stuck in Ottawa for a week before finally arriving in Mississauga on the 19th. (yesterday) Now it only has to make across from the east side to the west side of Canada.

Parcel 2. The Opinel knife shipped on the 8th November.
On the 13 November "Arrival Scan Jamaica, NY US"
On the 18th. "Initiated customs clearance process"
USPS reports that "Your item was processed through a facility in CANADA on November 18, 2018 at 10:42 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination."

Parcel 3. Shipped on the 10th, hit the USA on the 13th. Arrived at "Jamaica Ny International Distribution Center, US" on the 17th. No movement since. No idea what is going to happen to it now.

The good news is that the Buck knife and all the Le Thiers Claude Dozorme knives made it in last week. Needless to say, I am not ordering any more presents nor am I mailing them out to the intended recipients till the situation clears up.

The Buck knife is going no where. It has found a permanent home. The Le Thiers knives are now in serious danger of also having found their "forever home" and keeping the Buck knife company.

At the 8 minute mark, Computing Forever Dave mentions the place where the kids are sent to get tits chopped off-- is Tavistock, part of UK's National Health Service.

Tavistock's origins were as an all-star gathering of behaviorists & shrinks, during World War 2, tasked with creating new forms of propaganda psy-ops.

By the 1960's, Tavistock had evolved into trippy progressive social engineering, such as white papers detailing how to alienate masses of youths from their parents/ in-order to use young people's propensity to indignation & short attention spans-- as weapon against traditional society.

In order to track whether such social engineering projects were effective, Tavistock suggested promoting the then-obscure, nonsense-idea of Veganism alongside actual propaganda objectives, and tracking the spread of Veganism as a measure of the harder-to-quantify agenda's success.

Tavistock is ripe ground for conspiracy theorists, because Tavistock provides so many actual suspicious 'dots', for the conspiracy-theorist to connect,

Here's a link to a podcast about Tavistock... skip to 4 minute 10 seconds, for the good stuff...

The comics code was introduced in the mid 1950s - Stan's decision to publish an issue without the comics code was made in the early 1970s. By which time all sorts of cultural boundaries were and had been pushed. I'm not sure that it made that much difference in the end (DC were about to publish that Green Arrow drugs story anyway).

Milo Yiannopolous viciously attacks Jordan Peterson as a hypocritical opportunist and crypto-Marxist (!) in his forward to an anti-Peterson book by Vox Day.

Of course it's all very much about Milo and Milo scorned,
but Milo does make some good points about Peterson's mannerisms and his unwillingness to give straight answers:

Peterson’s manner of speaking is designed to be fascinating. It’s easy to get sucked in. He constantly defers solutions, leaving listeners to fill in the gaps and reach the ultimate conclusions themselves. And he’s always hedging his own statements with phrases such as, “It’s something like that.” The way he speaks is designed to conjure up a rigorously precise, intellectually humble professor who doesn’t want to commit wholly to a claim unless he knows he is absolutely correct.

By which time all sorts of cultural boundaries were and had been pushed. I'm not sure that it made that much difference in the end (DC were about to publish that Green Arrow drugs story anyway).

It's a fascinating history . With the 1950s moral panic scare of "Seduction of the Innocent" , The Code was supposedly the Comics Industry policing/self regulating itself probably as a attempt to prevent more draconian legislation .
You couldnt even mention vampires, or Zombies until relaxation of the code in the 70s, hence the explosion of Marvel versions of Dracula., Frankenstein's Monster and Werewolves by Night and other tradition horrors of the screen.

Zombies, lacking the requisite "literary" background, remained taboo. To get around this restriction, Marvel in the mid-1970s called the apparently deceased, mind-controlled followers of various Haitian supervillains "zuvembies".[18] This practice carried over to Marvel's superhero line: in The Avengers, when the reanimated superhero Wonder Man returns from the dead, he is referred to as a "zuvembie".

Even writer Marv Wolfman (Geddit) had issues with his name being mentioned.

Yes there were underground comics but they avoided the mainstream distribution channels that Marvel used and could have been used to sanction.
As for Frederick Wertham author of "Seduction of the Innocent" , he had an unlikely twist in his late career.

Wertham always denied that he favored censorship or had anything against comic books in principle, and in the 1970s he focused his interest on the benign aspects of the comic fandom subculture; in his last book, The World of Fanzines (1974), he concluded that fanzines were "a constructive and healthy exercise of creative drives". This led to an invitation for Wertham to address the New York Comic Art Convention. Still infamous to most comics fans of the time, Wertham encountered suspicion and heckling at the convention, and stopped writing about comics thereafter.[9]

Milo Yiannopolous viciously attacks Jordan Peterson as a hypocritical opportunist and crypto-Marxist (!) in his forward to an anti-Peterson book by Vox Day.

Of course it's all very much about Milo and Milo scorned,
but Milo does make some good points about Peterson's mannerisms and his unwillingness to give straight answers:

Peterson’s manner of speaking is designed to be fascinating. It’s easy to get sucked in. He constantly defers solutions, leaving listeners to fill in the gaps and reach the ultimate conclusions themselves. And he’s always hedging his own statements with phrases such as, “It’s something like that.” The way he speaks is designed to conjure up a rigorously precise, intellectually humble professor who doesn’t want to commit wholly to a claim unless he knows he is absolutely correct.

Apparently the good doctor is the second coming of Keats, Crowley and L Ron Hubbard...which sounds pretty good to me except for the scientology shit.

But don't take my word for it - here is intellectual brain-guy VD to say it in his own words...

I'd also heard the the case histories Wertham used to link juvenile delinquency, homosexuality and other undesirable traits in the 1950s to reading comic books were sometimes confabulated. And that like with gaming today - as pretty much everyone was reading comics back then it was not too hard to find whatever it was he was looking for.
