Anyone got a link to Trump's executive order barring discrimination in Federal Offices?
EO 13950 Executive Order on Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping
Issued on: September 22, 2020
https://archive.is/fisRS

Thanks. I think they probably have a problem with this phrase:
(3) an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously;

EO also contains this:

Sec. 10. General Provisions. (a) This order does not prevent agencies, the United States Uniformed Services, or contractors from promoting racial, cultural, or ethnic diversity or inclusiveness, provided such efforts are consistent with the requirements of this order.
(b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to prohibit discussing, as part of a larger course of academic instruction, the divisive concepts listed in section 2(a) of this order in an objective manner and without endorsement.

Maybe when the shadow of Trump recedes and they are looking for fuel the press might have to start looking at the implications of the His Fraudulency the 2nd Joe "George Bridges" Biden's pronouncements and policies.

Clinesmith gets almost no punishment for destroying Carter Page's life. I am amazed that when I tell this story to my wife or my friends that they just shrug. They just kind of say... oh really. I guess most people really don't care that much about truth or justice. Fucking Clinesmith... I dream about stabbing him in the neck or cutting off his fingers (but I would never do it and this is just a joke).

I fucking hate people.

This disinterested response is a sign of how effective the left has been in subverting the culture. Listen to Andy Ngo explain what Antifa and BLM's goals are and the extreme nature of their actions. The currently ruling party in the US have explicitly supported activists from these groups and bailed them out of jail despite their propensity for using explosives and various other weapons to destroy federal property and injure police with the stated aim of overthrowing democracy. An open display of support for actual insurrection and domestic terrorism and the response is .......... nothing! This ties in with something James Lindsay (or Wokal?) said about how violence is just expected from the left. It's like the West has been infected with a Toxoplasma Gondii variant which inures them to left wing anarchists,Marxist violence and even Swamp crimes. Clinesmith was just a scapegoat to take the heat off senior players anyway. The evidence to convict FBI agents and censure Biden/Obama for abuse of power is public knowledge but they are free and seemingly granted a license to persecute their victims.

There is an interesting moral question here: Suppose a trolley is heading towards 5 rando people of all walks of life. You can pull a lever that will cause it to switch tracks, which will cause it to head towards 5 politicians of your preferred political party (i.e. ones you'd vote for). Is it moral to pull the lever?

I think I always pull the lever, even if the 5 randos are PZ, Watson, Benson and Greg Laden. People who seek public office have chosen to be in the public eye and accept that risk, whereas the randos are just trying to live their lives. Especially true if me, as a taxpayer, is paying for the politicians security.

Jesus, you really have been diving in the Kool-Aid. I understand what you are saying. Unlimited tolerance for me and none for thee. Never mind the hundreds of riots instigated by organisations with the proclaimed goal of destroying democracy through the use of violence. Never mind the Federal buildings attacked, the police injured or killed, the civilians injured or murdered, the buildings destroyed and thousands of businesses destroyed. Never mind the terror campaign against people who don't share their ideology. Never mind the overt support for these actual terrorists by elected politicians, politicians who threw hissy fits about dictatorship at the thought of troops being used to control the violence, politicians who deliberately incited the violence and urged people to physically confront opposition politicians. So a few Republican congress critter got shot, no probs. Those are the good terrorists, they aren't THAT dangerous after all, I mean only the right people got hurt. No need for military purity tests or ejecting the instigators from Congress, no need for tens of thousands of troops, blanket clampdowns on social media speech, no need to ask if anyone has now or has ever looked at Orange Devil with anything other than hatred. But that MAGA crowd! Never mind the TRACK RECORD (look up the meaning of that phrase) of peacefulness. This one copycat incident (sans explosives, burning buildings and lasers) demonstrates that you just can't trust them not to engage in a bloodbath. Anyone who doesn't condemn the Orange Monster who DIDN'T incite them must be canceled and interrogated by the FBI and labeled a White Supremacist enabler! You think everyone on the right should be held responsible for a fringe group of extremists? By that logic most of the Democratic Party including the current President and VP should be run out of town.

You know, If I were a US citizen I would not want to destroy the lives of the naive idiots who marched with Antifa/BLM or hold them responsible for the malice of the terrorists. Maybe after the tenth attendance at a violent riot they could be held responsible, but not silenced. I wouldn't dream of penalising anyone who shared their political views and using the state to crush them. I wouldn't invent unconstitutional imperatives to remove their political leaders from office for protected speech and nor would I support sham impeachments of civilians.

Bottom line, as Andy Ngo said, is that Antifa could never hope to engage in violent revolution because of the power of law enforcement agencies until the Democratic Party with it's control of media and cosy relationship with the state decided that they hated Trump more than violent anarchist terrorists. Now you have Federal level confession by projection by leaders with the ethics of particularly nasty narcissistic teenage girls. A lot of it is just theatre but underneath it there is also a big dollop of entitlement and a self-righteousness that might prove dangerous. They are proving once again that they are willing to destroy everything your country was built on for political advantage and they are trying to do it under the cloak of protecting the constitution.

Or you could say that the politicians are the ones who decided to sacrifice themselves to public service (it's not that far-fetched!) and are more valuable than the pub-dwelling schlubs. You could also argue that being willing to place yourself in danger in no way implies that you are morally more worthy of death than anyone else. Is the schoolteacher who stands up to the machete wielding kiddie butcher more deserving of death than the teacher who ran?

Keep getting a reminder of how utterly encased in concrete worldviews are. A thousand instances of extremism on the home side are somehow not quite as serious as the one incident from the other. The tame speech from the other is a thousand times more serious than repeated explicit inflammatory rhetoric from the home side. It just has to be dogwhistling after all, which we know because of our prejudice. It's pure prejudice and confirmation bias by prediction. Any response to the home side is authoritarianism but the constitution and all other considerations are shelved when the other acts up. It's the kind of blindness that leads to dystopia and the perpetrators self-belief is only reinforced by resistance. Executive orders are OK when we do them because it's undoing the extreme damage the BAD PEOPLE did. Free speech and constitutional protections are there for the GOOD PEOPLE, us, not the other.

This essay is an actual racist dogwhistle: https://www.takimag.com/article/the-dea ... tionalism/

It starts with the same Diagnosis I hear from the left side: Middle and lower class white Americans are a bunch of clueless yokels who dutifully adhere to patriotism and prayer. And they think they're on the same team as the yuppies and plutocrats. But the yuppies and plutocrats betrayed them.

the Soft Left prescription -- is that the yokels are supposed to embrace socialism: Accept Bernie to run health care, accept Elizabeth Warren to regulate Wall Street, accept Beto to buy-back the guns, elect Obama and Hillary so the magic of race & gender can be 'represented' in the ruling class.

(The way Biden fits into this-- is as an amalgam-- empty promises of everything to everyone: " I care about blue collar union workers and will ban your jobs for the environment." "A return to normalcy by embracing radical BLM favoritism." "Wall Street and Big Tech get a big smile & thumbs-up-- full speed ahead with their excesses"/ while virtue-signaling for The Little Guy.)

Just as the Socialists want the rednecks to get-over their paranoia of anything that smells like Communism, this essay wants the average white folks to get-over their paranoia of anything that smells like Hitler.

This article offers the Racist Right prescription of racial segregation. It even agrees with the left that Trump Dog-whistled to racists... but sees that as a good thing. In particular, the article is eager to claim that Trump descends from dead-racist-guy Sam Francis. (another take is that Francis & Trump both reacted to the same failures in society. And Trump isn't descended from that guy.)

So, yeah, I think the essay's diagnosis is strong/ but the prescription is weak.
And it pretends other options don't exist...a Dave Smith AnCap approach, for example.

Observation 1) The fact that dogs are in the White House is real news. It is likely that Joe will trip on one of them.... break his hip... and this will make Camel-toe Harris the president. So... don't dismiss this "news".

Observation 2) Permanent fencing around the Capitol. My thoughts.... fuck em... don't care anymore. Don't care if a bunch of you fuckers get shot. Not that I want to hurt anyone.... but I don't care.

Observation 3) I think I need to pull back from my love of country. While I believe one of the greatest things ever written is the US Constitution... I feel like I am a rare person. Americans today disdain the founding documents. They vilify the founding leaders. They hate the idea of liberty. I have a core base of friends whom I agree with. They keep me sane... but... I think America has to burn for a decade before this improves. So be it. I have enough money and security to wait this out. Again... fuck em.

I work for a (the) major sportswear company in the world. Not going to use the actual name because I know exactly how closely they proactively search for their name being invoked in less than complimentary tones. Very SJW friendly both externally and internally -- until you get in a one-on-one conversation. Is amusing how many times I have been one half of a very cautious verbal feeling out, looking over our shoulders before we mutually exclaim, "Oh thank god you have your head on straight. WTF is the company thinking?!?" Still, we all cower and don't speak up publicly because HR is infested and heads have rolled for wrong speak. (or wrong clothing for the guy who wore a 3 percenter shirt)

LinkedIn post from the new senior director for recruiting for the greater technology team explaining why he left a comfortable, well-paying job at Amazon to come to us:

Never in all my years in the technology industry had I met four VPs who looked like me and spoke like me.

So glad he's a good fit for our company and is enthused about what we do and how we function.

In a recent all-hands, HR bragged about how 84% of hires in 2020 were non white males. Didn't use those exact words. Our hires were 84% 'diverse'. Diverse being the company's internal word for nonwhite or nonmale. That was company-wide, but numbers are not too far off for my traditional white and nerdy field of computer security. In the last quarter headcount announcements were 28/37 diverse.

HR is really helping that along. Due to requirements for having a diverse slate of candidates before interviews can begin, positions are sitting open for months at a time. In some cases, HR has even pulled back positions with the argument, "You have not filled the position in six months, therefore you must not have really needed the role". Umm, we didn't fill the role because you wouldn't let us start interviewing because you could not find enough black and female candidates for a niche speciality.

In many cases we get a pile of expected white male IT geeks the first week the position is posted. Then the position ages and slides into the background while HR works to scrape up sufficient diverse candidates. They eventually find some with the correct melanin and gender identification who can spell some of the words used in our field or perhaps have read about some of the concepts. We reach out to the candidates and discover all those who applied the first week have found other jobs and have withdrawn. The only candidates are the last minute not-really-qualified diverse slate applicants. Then the teams have a choice: hire someone who is not qualified for the job or risk HR taking the position completely away.

Just as with affirmative action, that is creating a negative feedback loop where every diverse new hire is looked at with scepticism. Did we hire you because you know your shit or were you the only one left on the table and were better than losing the headcount? Not fair to anyone.

Let's see, what else? Oh yeah, team fit is a dog whistle for racism and sexism. Can't have any questions or concerns around that.

Can't have interview panels as that promotes groupthink.

All interviews must be one on one with the same questions. Yep, can't freestyle and go down lines of inquiry based on a candidate's individual answers or claims on a resume. Scoring is done on an HR provided worksheet with entries such as "Acts with courage", "Cultivates innovation" and "Values Differences". Not a single part of the scoring sheet has a section where we can score a candidate on 'has the technical chops to do the job'. Interviewers are not to discuss candidates. Interviewers are to submit the worksheets to HR and they will tell us who we have hired.

Question is, who is running the US? I don't think it's fair to call Biden a hypocrite when he isn't actually doing anything. Richard Baris raises a good point in saying that it isn't possible for a president to consider and fully understand 40 EOs in the time he has been in office. Debts are being called in and Joe is paying them with the pen.

#343

ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑ who is running the US? ... Debts are being called in and Joe is paying them with the pen.

Earlier today, I posted a link to an ethno-nationalist/alt-right/racist essay, which referenced the late Sam Francis.

In 1992, Sam Francis used the term 'anarcho-tyranny':

“laws that are supposed to protect ordinary citizens against ordinary criminals” routinely go unenforced, even though the state is “perfectly capable” of doing so. While this problem rages on, government elites concentrate their interests on law-abiding citizens. In fact, Middle America winds up on the receiving end of both anarchy and tyranny.[16]

In this reply, I intended to say that no-one is running the US. Biden's executive orders are tyrannical. But there's no method to the madness-- no mastermind tyrant. The executive orders are piecemeal concessions to segments of Biden's coalition-- but the coalition isn't coalescing to make the US run smoothly. Each segment is just focussed on maintaining its own dysfunctional fiefdom. For example: The SJW academics want Biden to remove Trump's restrictions on racist SJW 'critical race theory'. But those academic take no responsibility for keeping the country running. Quite the opposite. So we get tyrannical rule with failed-state absence of statesmanship.

As I typed this, I searched 'anarcho-tyranny' to check if Sam Francis indeed coined the term. Wikipedia re-directed me to the potent term:
"Managerial State".

Could this blurb be any-more accurate, in describing Biden's game plan ?!:

Samuel T. Francis, following James Burnham, said that under this historical process, “law is replaced by administrative decree, federalism is replaced by executive autocracy, and a limited government replaced by an unlimited state.”[9] It acts in the name of abstract goals, such as freedom, equality or positive rights, and uses its claim of moral superiority, power of taxation and wealth redistribution to keep itself in power.

Been living under a rock for the last year? Antifa/BLM weren't just protesting. They carefully manipulate the naive at protests, keeping up a tirade of invective at the police and using the crowds to do the same, also using violence to provoke when they can do so unrecorded. Their strategy is to engage in violence but try to engineer the situation to make it look as if the police instigated it. They organise, come with concealed weapons and have trained revolutionaries controlling the crowds. Many policemen and civilians have been injured, with pre-meditation, with weapons brought to the scene. Petrol bombs and other explosives have been used. People have died. Business owners in affected owners have been living in TERROR, always expecting a visit from a violent mob willing to discharge firearms into their business, burn it down or beat them up for failing to display the right slogans. They've manipulated the situation to cripple the efforts of police services. This has nothing to do with Trump. They are violent anarchist revolutionaries dedicated to overthrowing the system through any means necessary, preferrably violence, and they've been organising and looking for opportunities for a long time. The media have done their utmost to hide this all allowing the ignorant to pretend they aren't violent revolutionary terrorists. You never hear about the death threats and violence perpetrated against unfriendly journalists from the MSM unless it's to tell you how they deserved it. Andy Ngo has had to move to England because of death threats from Antifa. The Democratic Party deliberately enabled this with their rhetoric because nothing is as important to them as getting their hands on power.

That's one very well put together letter from Carrie Poppy!

@kirbmarc @AndrewV691
someone should link all this at the pit, if only for old times sake...

The above was a response to this tweet:

More responses to the egregiously flawed article on repressed memories in @thecut that we discussed on the last podcast

The article:
Five Letters New York Magazine Hasn’t Printed
Carrie Poppy

This month, New York Magazine and its website, The Cut, published a story by writer Katie Heaney about the controversy surrounding “recovered memory,” and using the False Memory Syndrome Foundation as a central talking point.

Things work out in strange ways.

Over the last few years every prostitute in America was labeled as being "trafficked". I would regularly call this out. "Hey... she is not being trafficked... she is just a regular prostitute." God damn. My wife hates it when I do this. She thinks that any woman who would have sex for money only does it cause some guy makes her. The funny thing is that one of her in-laws was a pro. She knows better. This particular relative would hook up with a few "safe" guys and earn enough money for her drug habit. There was no man involved, except for the man that was paying.

So, all over the country, cops and prosecutors have been going after Johns and shit... and charging them with "trafficking". Problem is that the prosecutions don't stick. Dood is like "Hey... she was online and wanted $100 for a bj... so I went to the motel room." Total whore small time stuff.

And still... I complained about the whole topic. In my view, if a bitch wants to change money to make a guy cum she should be able to do it. It is a proper business as far as I am concerned.

So.... now comes the latest Michigan controversy. The Washtenaw county prosecutor comes out in public and says he will not prosecute women or men who have consensual sex... even if they exchange money. Basically, he is saying that prostitution is legal. The media is totally shitting on him, but I think he is right. If someone is really being trafficked you should make sure they know they will not get in trouble for reporting it. Also, sex workers should be free to report real crimes.... like when they get assaulted by a John. They should be able to get help from the cops.

So... somehow... this whole mislabeling of trafficking has led to people wanting to legalize consensual prostitution. The world is really weird. The blue pillers make no sense to me some times.... and my wife still thinks prostitutes are forced to do it... and that the movie "Pretty Woman" is a good film. YIKES!

I always say.... "You can lead a whore to culture... but you can't make her think!"

If I read that correctly, Carrie Poppy just promised to publish at Medium.com ...any and all letters ...so long as you CC: New York magazine & tie-in your letter to the topic of 'recovered memories'.

If she were to refuse to publish any-such letter, she would be just as guilty of the thing she's denouncing New York mag for doing.

Hmmmm :think:

I"m dyin' here people. It's like people trust me or something.

What do you do when someone pulls the pin and hands you a grenade?

I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do, I can do no other.

Boom.

First, disclaimer: I don't "like" property damage protests. It always seemed pretty juvenile and counterproductive to me. However, I "understand" given human nature how crowds can become "violent" (in the property damage respect). And therein lies a fundamental difference between protest and terror. I'm also not implying leftist protests haven't crossed the line. There's a difference between torching a cop car and chanting "hang Mike Pence" while being a minute away from him. It's the equivocation of the word "violence", one meaning against property (if it's possible to be violent to property), the other against the wellbeing of people.
Been living under a rock for the last year? Antifa/BLM weren't just protesting. They carefully manipulate the naive at protests, keeping up a tirade of invective at the police and using the crowds to do the same, also using violence to provoke when they can do so unrecorded. Their strategy is to engage in violence but try to engineer the situation to make it look as if the police instigated it. They organise, come with concealed weapons and have trained revolutionaries controlling the crowds. Many policemen and civilians have been injured, with pre-meditation, with weapons brought to the scene. Petrol bombs and other explosives have been used. People have died. Business owners in affected owners have been living in TERROR, always expecting a visit from a violent mob willing to discharge firearms into their business, burn it down or beat them up for failing to display the right slogans. They've manipulated the situation to cripple the efforts of police services. This has nothing to do with Trump. They are violent anarchist revolutionaries dedicated to overthrowing the system through any means necessary, preferrably violence, and they've been organising and looking for opportunities for a long time. The media have done their utmost to hide this all allowing the ignorant to pretend they aren't violent revolutionary terrorists. You never hear about the death threats and violence perpetrated against unfriendly journalists from the MSM unless it's to tell you how they deserved it. Andy Ngo has had to move to England because of death threats from Antifa. The Democratic Party deliberately enabled this with their rhetoric because nothing is as important to them as getting their hands on power.

All of that is apparently not as serious as ONE fucking incident, ONE, just ONE where a crowd of idiots got out of control partly because they were egged on by Antifa agitators embedded in the crowd. Show me proof of some well-established group of revolutionaries behind them a fraction as ruthless and organised as Antifa and their affiliates and I might take you seriously. Anyone supporting Trump must take responsibility for Capitol Hill and suffer denial of their rights despite almost all of them never having participated in any kind of destructive protest, but people on the left who participate in nightly riots, punching and kicking people, spewing hatred against all and sundry, they're just a bit misguided and boisterous. You are seriously confused. It's OK when the left does it.

You have to ask yourself who has actually drank the Kool Aid here. The FBI doesn't consider Antifa a serious threat. Democratic leaders have denounced Antifa violence, and Antifa has no overt connection to the Democratic party. You seem versed in critical thinking, entrenched ideology, confirmation bias, etc. Tell me, which is more credible, the FBI, or whatever fringe sources you used to fuel this rant. Yes, I have heard this type of talk before, usually form batshit far right websites. Antifa is a well organized, hierarchical group with ranks, etc. Here's another tenet of critical thinking: avoid self reinforcing belief systems. The leftist mainstream media is "in on it", the Dems condemn them only because there's a covert association between the two...and so on.

Get a grip dude.

I know a female pimp - ex hooker turned boss of a group of about ten working girls. No male involvement beyond the customer base.

(No, I'm not a customer, I'm friends with one of her girls)

This the friend that threatened herself a while ago?
