GhostBusters (2016).. Because Why?

Or, Live By The Politics, Die By The Politics

         Authentic! Because this is exactly how feminits women magically know that men think. Yawns.

SO, I’M GONNA DOGPILE– the new GhostBusters (2016) looks like a toxic.. smirky.. poorly written and misconceived rehash. OKthereIsaidit. Whew!

Surely Star Wars: The Farce Awakens and other revisit/ reboot flops should have taught Hollywood that (a) digging up old franchises is not a great idea, and (b) ‘updating’ them to tell 2016 SJW pious morality-tales? An even more worser idea.

Incoming old franchises zombied-up for the big screen? There’s a ruptured sewer’s worth coming downstream: “161 movie remakes and reboots currently in the works“.

One-Hundred. And. Sixty-one.

Oh Please MakeitStop Now

Already polluting our pop culture? Recent remakes or drag-ons like Indiana Jones & Aliens (and rumours of Indy 5). Dirty Dancing. Total Recall. Point Break. Godzilla. Terminator: Genesys. Star Wars VII. Planet of the Apes. Star Treks. Spider Mans. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Rocky Balboa. Remember those?

Upcoming for your delectation: Alien 5. Toy Story 4. American Pie 5. Avatar II. Bad Santa 2. Beetlejuice 2. Beverly Hills Cop 4. Blade Runner 2. Blair Witch Project 3. Die Hard 6. Bang my head until the pain stops 9?….

And you just know in your heart that they want to slime & exploit revisit Back To The Future.. with the requisite wince-worthy cameos. Um, yay? Binks found it inexpressibly sad and wince-worthy even trying to look at this.

          Sexploitation of eyecandy is bad… if it’s men doing it!

With Gloatbusters 2016 (I refuse to call it ‘III’, sorry), and the new Star Wars, feminism steps up the political megaphoning that women are super-amazing, should be warriors in the front line– in movies, and real life, and in armies and stuff.. so let’s trumpet how weak and sad and silly and useless and replaceable all the boys and men are, because ovaries! Especially in STEM careers, like Ghostbusters 2016! More than gross boys & men! GET IT? [ audience slapped across face with large fish, in case they’d not noticed something was up ]

Missing The Target Audience

Screen-Shot-2015-08-25-at-4.42.49-PM-copy-2
Look At The Sexist Picture Minus All Penises! Men Are Stupid! And: really? Were NO men involved in making the movie whatsoever? Wonder how this might make them feel…. second class citizens much? Less than? Forgotten? Inferior?

By-the-tropes Gynosupremacism as “propagan-tainment”?.. much classy, so amuse!

Except– most adventure movies were first and foremost for boys, and so were the toys. Boys wanted to be the heroes, and female fans wanted to be rescued by (and later) date/ marry the adventure heroes, or be like the heroines. Millions upon millions of mostly boys collected the original, sequel, and cartoon series toys and gear and all the rest. Big business, and happy kids. Ghostbuster Barbies? Not a big must-have, we’re thinking.

Further, why this big social media fuss? Well– we don’t want to think about the world we live in, but our amusements, entertainments, and shiny pictures are therefore that much more important! You can take away our freedoms, or bomb & shoot us, but don’t screw with our bread and circuses! Yes, that’s exactly where we are. Majoring in the minors, and the micros of mass distraction.

However– when you play this kind of politics? Make sure you get it ALL right, because the SJW-progressive cry-bully club will surely vet and judge you on All The Things– and there’s a lot they don’t like about this attempt to pander to feminism. Grab some hot buttered popcorn, and let’s watch the radicals pitch fits & eat each other alive. What funs!

Go Away, Mens = Equality

The new movie has no identifiable male heroes or ’emulatable’ leading characters. Chris Hemsworth is lame eye-candy– a B-Lister taking on the role originally played by newcomer Annie Potts, now starring a man– because mighty wimmins! Yet what little boy in his right mind is going to work hard to collect the Gynobusters action figures? Psychologically, maturing boys (and even girls) need to gradually separate from their Mommies, to emulate their Dads and other adult & male figures, and individuate as men: not this.

“NO! Bad boys! Wrong!! Women and girls more gooder than you, we are best leaders, tough super heroes, and you should look up to all wimmins!” Which is, in my opinion, psychological and gender-based child-abuse, supremacism, and unscientific propaganda of the very worst and most destructive sort.

Reality Is More Complicated

Women will save the world! Because feminism, and reasons! So rush to see the movie, and cough up for all the inevitable merch and commercial tie-ins, because you betcha feminist Hollywood likes everybody’s dollars– even cootified sexist man-or-boy dollars!

This in spite of the 2016 reality that men and male teens have less job prospects than women, less are attending college, in some cases men are paid less than their female peers, less are even pretending to be interested in dating, possibly leading marriage & kids– and far more likely to murder themselves, on top of it all. In fact, life sucks for almost every young person right now. But don’t ask about any of that, you sexist misogynist oppressor! Stick to the much sads Narrative: [fill in the blank], Women Hardest Hit!

As blogger Woolly Bumblebee said, if Star Wars ‘VII’ and GynoBusters is what results when feminism is allowed to dictate the message, and women are all made into the heroes? Just stop and don’t, because you’re making a mess, stinking up our memories, further trashing masculinity for men and boys, and turning movies into ever more regurgitated mush.

A little part of me hopes I’m completely wrong, this is merely the worst trailer-edit and marketing ever, and the film turns out to be a kick-butt surprise hit. I’m not coughing up any serious $$ at the theatre to find out. ~

Yes, it’s a real thing. Via

~ HIS DAD WAS FAMOUS and important and rich and a nasty pro-communist soft-dictator. And a noted wreckifier of Canada.

Now, Junior Justin is Boss Of All The Things™ in Canada, as our newly elected Prime Minister. So shut up, peasants! Bend the knee! Love The Hair! Obey his commands! Abort your pre-borns! Jack up the debts! Wink at Allah! Smooch with Globalisms! Goggle at his girl-quotas, because it was 2015, or something.

Higher And Higher

Now, according to noted internets irritant and Binks-fave anti-feminits Sargon Of Akkad, our very own million dollar trust-fund baby Justin The Mighty™ has now been elected….

The Pope Of Feminism!* Yay us! Or something.

You know, cuz the hapless and helpless womens are apparently inferior to men, and need a Justin to save & help them, and promote them into Cabinet whether they have the experience or the chops or not– only because they are loyal Liberal Party minions, agree with his infallible notions, and have the required ovaries.

His cabinet election process? This complicated:

“Ovaries, good.. no ovaries, bad.. ovaries, ovaries.. no ovaries.. whew! This is hard!.. Ovaries, no ovaries….”

ohverries
Got Ovaries? Justin worships teh ovaries. Do you not love them, too?

As for why women don’t tend to run for office, O PM of Greatness? ‘Cuz it’s overworking horrible endless busyness, dirty back-roomery, media attack-squads, public adoration & vilification, back-stabbing, all of which which wrecks your family time, and can not only wreck you personally, but cost you your immortal soul. There’s a good reason why public opinion polls list politicians near the bottom of all ‘Trustworthiness’ polls.

So: Pope Justin I?

50% girl quota? Because sexism, patronizing, and white-knighting, and reasons, and 2015, and JUSTIN IS SMARTER THAN YOU, SO SHUT THE #@$%*&! UP!!

Yes, dear world, he really is just this ‘clever’, dumb, brainwashed, SJW-progressive, preachy, and bound and determined to remake Canada, and all his victims her citizens in his own hyper-narcissistic image.. i.e., soft-tyrannically break all the things– for your own good.

Sargon’s awesome vid nails completely this butterfly to the board. Watch, like, pass on.

Ovaries Über Alles!

And Binky Wepted.

~ ABSOLUTELY TRUE FEMINIST doctrine for the right-thinkers teaches that there is a terrible, horrible, really bad Pay Gap between what men and women are paid over a lifetime, and therefore, in every job, and every wage or salary.

No, I’m not claiming that, 2nd & 3rd Wave Feminits are.

30% less total lifetime earnings? Bad! Must be sexism. Do remember to listen & believe what you are told. Questions might be triggering, and sexist.

And H-e-E-ere We Go!

dontry.JPG

There are four parts to detonating this claim.

(1) Equal Pay is NOT the same as Lifetime Earnings.

A woman not earning the same total amount over her whole working life may well be paid the same as a man in an equivalent position– but most women work fewer hours, take weekends, holidays, sick days, and family days off. Not to mention maternity leave, ‘Flex-Time’, and sick kid days. Women’s career-tracks & lifetime hours worked are not identical to their male peers in the same positions.

(2) Shockingly, not all jobs PAY the same.

Further, men and women tend to choose different careers, many of which have differing pay scales. Men often choose higher-paying jobs, push for promotions, raises, and are more ambitious– even if they don’t actually like the career. Not every job is the same, nor do all jobs require the same amount of education, effort, expertise, and specialization.. or hours.

(3) Most people in the same job are USUALLY paid equally.

Looking past the propaganda, in 2016 some women in starting positions will make more than their starting out male counterparts. Paying women 70% as much as men for identical work is illegal in most Western countries, and– if it were legal– would mean men couldn’t get many jobs, with women as a discount work-force.

But the biggest factor, all other things (and pay) being equal?

(4) Men actually tend to WORK LONGER hours.

One Australian work-study found men worked on average 8.5 hours more than women, per week.* Just a couple of hours a day, and the odd Saturday. Other studies pegged the weekly overtime at about 5.5 hours for men.

So what? Hold onto your hats.. this ‘work longer’ thing is like the exploding value of compound interest. And remember– Binks has Math Dyslexia (on top of a little of the usual kind), so the following is trebly impressive.

By The Numbers

numbers.png

8.5 overtime hours a week. That’s a whopping 10.5 weeks, or 442+ hours of male overtime work per year (or 55.2 x 8 hour overtime workdays/ year).

Such overtime over 10 years? 4420+ hours over a decade (552 x 8 hour overtime workdays/ decade). That’s a crap-ton of overtime– an extra year and a half overtime over a decade (presuming 364 day work-years).

Over a career? The average man will work 17680+ overtime hours, or a full 2210 overtime workdays over 40 years (that’s 6.07 full YEARS— with no weekends or vaycays– of overtime @ 8 hours a day).

The overtime is on top of the 40 hours weekly for 40 years, whatever that is.. lessee.. 2080 regular work-hours/ year, 20800 hours per decade, and 83200 working hours in 40 years.. + the 17680+ overtime = the average man works 100880 total hours (regular + overtime) in a career, versus women working 83200 total hours in a career). Ruh-roh!….

~

Men’s Overtime Hours?

8.5 hours per week
10.5 weeks per year
1.51 years per decade
6.07 years per 40 year career

~

Cheer Up, It Gets Worse!

All of this does not include the hours of unpaid overtime that many modern employers are squeezing out of some employees; nor the hideous job-markets and increase in shrunken work hours ‘part-time’ positions with no benefits, pension, or time off. Oh yes, it’s a paradise out there.

Could be much worse.. as one person has commented:

“Look at Japan and the “salaryman” attitude. At work 7 days a week for well over 12hrs a day, usually back around midnight, maybe half of Sunday to see your kids, 2 weeks holiday a year but if you ever took them you would be fired.”

salaryman
Japanese Salarymen working over 84 hours a week? Male privilege!

Obviously, even more signs of women being oppressed! Patriarchy!

Free & Simple Answers

What is to be done? The present situation cannot continue! Justice! Equalism!

When it comes to winning equal earnings for men and women, no matter what choices or factors or circumstances, the answers are clear. We must obey the feminist logic that men and women must earn exactly the same in their lifetimes of working (presuming we don’t pay the same wages for a paperboy as a brain surgeon).

ProLucro_Menos-Stress-300x284

First of all, in the name of true equality, all women must be forced to work as many regular and overtime hours as men do, and in identical kinds of jobs. No more family time or maternity-leave with that 8.5 hours of overtime a week on top of the usual 40: whiny sick kids must look after themselves.

Nextly, all women will be required by law to take years and years of extra education & special training for more high pressure & higher paying jobs (plus, be forced to take up more dangerous and physically risky careers, to help equally bear the burden of the 90%+ of workplace fatalities happening to men). There’s simply no choice in the matter, I’m afraid.

d71d4a38169dc22705abb7cc6f92a831

Thanks, Here’s Your Grave

All must be sacrificed unto mammon, so true earnings-equality can be attained! Men and women must work the same way in the same fields for the same amount of time and thus earn the same! Minor things like choice, ability, gender, personal interests, or individuality? Not so much. The post-industrial mega-state thanks you for your slavery!

Nope, not making this up. See links below for proof. Via.

As you can see, I’m really quite the feminist. So glad to help. ~

* In case someone thinks this is exaggeration, I’m actually low-balling the overtime hours a little. It’s more like +10 hrs/ week in some cases. Even if we went with 5hrs/ week, the overtime amount is still yuge, as the math proves.

So saith,

#TheTriggering? Eeeeeek!

evil girl

~ BINKS MISSED the  big politically incorrect festival on Twitter, the brainchild of Lauren Southern, of Rebel Media. March 9th, right between International Day Of The Wimminz, and the birthday of Osama Bin Laden. #TheTriggering!

The usual subjects pitched fits, whined incessantly, had tantrums, flung scare-words, and otherwise failed to shut it down– though the supremacists @ Twitter managed to fiddle their program to try and minimize it.

Way to fail free speech, Twits. We must muzzle free speech to save free speech. Gotcha.

An Biggish Deal?

This little moment in the culture wars may seem like a blip on the radar, but I think it fits in with #GamerGate, Fab Milo-ism, and a wider tide, part of a successful push-back towards reality and consequences. This is an important thing.

twitptsd

Free-speechers are fighting totalitarianism, silencing, and the resulting speech & thought control of the elites & the media, and the SJW megaphonies and cry bullies. A lot of people are quietly watching and cheering, and I’m guessing those who are with us are far more than those who are against us. Pushback!

man-pushing-back-md

#TheTriggering! Lots of brave folks cheerfully and fearlessly stood their ground, spoke the forbidden things, and we’re not currently facing the prophesied societal apocalypse, or the Fourth Reich. You know, yet.

Most importantly, as both Milo Yiannapoulos and Ben Shapiro* say about Campus tyrants, stand up, listen politely, then tell them off and tell them where they’re terribly, terribly wrong– and above all,  don’t try to make nice, or compromise your principles or the truth when confronting rabid progressives. The time for retreat is over, and the politically correctoids are not as tough or irresistible as they seem.

Saith Teh Binks!

XDPu2

Without posting any Trigger warnings**, even… here’s my little list, just for starters:

#TheTriggering – Equal pay and equal lifetime earnings are not the same thing.

#TheTriggering – Men and women, boys and girls, are different.

#TheTriggering – Truth is truth, like it or not. No ‘your’ truth, or ‘my’ truth madness, thanks.

#TheTriggering – There is not and can never be a heaven on earth. Utopia is a mental illness.

#TheTriggering – SJWs are crazy, deceived, and dangerous.

#TheTriggering – Prime Minister Selfie of Canada is deliberately going to wreck the country, the provinces, and each county and community, if he can. For ever.

#TheTriggering – Political Correctness is totalitarian rubbish.

#TheTriggering – Hate crime laws are hateful, and make things worse.

#TheTriggering – Islam is an evil false religion founded by a demon-possessed pedophile, liar, rapist, false prophet & antiChrist, and mass murderer. Still, many people inside that cult are decent human beings, despite it all.

#TheTriggering – Dear SJWs/ Progressives: you are not the centre of this or any reality, or  universe.

#TheTriggering – Militant Western homosexuals can be the biggest of bullies, and supremacists.

#TheTriggering – Kangaroo courts and unjust courts and activist are evil, and destructive.

#TheTriggering – There are two human genders.

#TheTriggering – SLAPP & cry-bully charges & lawsuits should be crimes.

#TheTriggering – Anti-racists are sometimes the most racist people around.

#TheTriggering – Except for the sinless Christ, every other human being ever is sinful, tempted, silly, self-centred, and clueless. That’s the bad news.

#TheTriggering – 3rd Wave Feminism is oppressively sexist, and toxic.

#TheTriggering – There are a lot of lying, crazy, nasty fraud-artists opposed to #GamerGate.

#TheTriggering – God exists, like it or not. We all got some ‘splainin’ to do.

#TheTriggering – Christianity is the one true religion.  That’s the good news.

** Warning, some of the preceding may be upsetting to people who prefer propaganda, unreality, lies, mass delusion, groupthink, following the herd, being sheep lining up for the wolves, and jumping on bandwagons. ITYS.

~ ITEM:  Why the New ‘One in Four’ Campus Rape Statistic Is Misleading

+ + +

SO I’M PART SCOTTISH— We Scots love the unicorn so much that it’s actually in our coat of arms. Twice! It’s where Britain & Canada got it. Plus, it’s medieval, therefore, it rocks.

But unicorns don’t have any rights; they aren’t seriously endangered; we don’t need to manage their herds to prevent poaching. Put down your “Save The Unicorns!” signs.

Unicorns. Aren’t. Real.

It’s True Cuz We Want It To Be!

Sadly, on modern SJW-infected campuses, reality is just not enough any more. You can attack, threaten, harrass, mob up, and try to ruin a fellow human being because of things that are not true.

So: professional gadfly Milo Yiannopoulos recently spoke at a protest-filled gathering at the Super-Duper School For Special Snowflakes University of Pittsburgh, on his usual topics– and he mostly was interested in Q & A. Here’s the speech itself.

UPitts student Doug Steeber tweeted about Milo’s visit, therefore he’s been unpersonned since Milo’s visit– a vicious campaign of posters, late-night calls to his parents, his FaceBook hacked & replaced, and posters “accusing him of making fun of sexual assault survivors”, and feature contact information for his home. What could possibly go wrong with attacking a guilty thought-criminal?

image1
Evil Infidel!

A Fair Trial, Then Execution

What facts, what denials, what horrible things could Steeber Of Evil possibly have said to deserved this hellstorm of malice, harassment, and botheration? Unicorn facts, i.e., crap statistics.

I’ve written over here about the sacred pillars of SJW/ Progressivism in the West, including the faux factoid that “1 in 4 (or 5) college women have been sexually assaulted”. Rapes galore. Must be true, a study said so.. and since it makes things look totally serious, let’s just keep repeating it as Gospel.

Betcha $20 They’ve Not Read It

The study in question was a squishy soft-science informal survey of students in 2007. Here’s the study itself. From the look of the thing, a real statistician would have a field-day in such a target-rich environment of muddy social science.

The authors even admit an unrepresentative, small, & anonymous survey, lumping together different kinds of assaults, ranging from being grabbed or touched, all the way to full rape; and there are other serious questions about the applicability, and claims made in the study.

“The researchers made clear that the study consisted of students from just two universities…. The CSA study was actually an online survey that took 15 minutes to complete, and the 5,446 undergraduate women who participated were provided a $10 Amazon gift card. Men participated too, but their answers weren’t included in the one-in-five statistic.”

Okily-dokily: 15 minutes. Online. No names. No details, or fact-checking, or comparing apples to apples, or verification that the claims were true, or that the interpretation of the events was fair. Plus, you get an Amazon card?

There’s your infamous 1 in 5– widely derided by Milo Yiannopoulos and other online pundits, in light of a 2013 Department of Justice report that puts the number closer to 6 or 7 in 1000, not 25 in 100. Or again,

“Bureau of Justice Statistics data indicate that in 2012 the rate of rapes and sexual assaults was 1.3 per 1,000 Americans ages 12 and up.”

Clear Away The Smoke

People can be evil. Is modern society rapey? Are colleges rapey?

Well, drunk/ stoned sex, random hooking up, regret-sex, abortion, under-age sex, and the chaos resulting in the collapse of dating rules and role expectations make it clear all is not well. The older dating and relationship and marriage rules were there for a reason, the accumulated wisdom of many generations to try and prevent stupid, fatherless babies, abortions, broken hearts, and exploitation. But we’re so much smart than thems, and you’re not the boss of me!

brokehearts

It’s a great time for broken or evil people, sexual predators, and manipulative women– all within a society of fearful, unsettled divorced kids who don’t know who they are, or what they want, or what is true, except their feelings. The past century has been one of people experimenting on other people by tearing down all the rules and the complementarity between the sexes for political reasons, to polarize society into fragments.

We have a generation of frantic, broken, hurting, hurtful, uncertain, angry kids– and society makes the kids it deserves. Point fingers, and remember to point at all of us, too.

Some of that fragmenting and polarization is now breaking out on our 2016 campuses. And on Mr. Steeber’s young head. And into our present and future.

Still UnAnswered

Fact is, the various real studies peg the number of rapes/ sexual assaults on campus as slightly lower than in general society. However, with the hooking up culture, the drug and booze culture, and the feminist absolution of all women from responsibility for their bad choices, it’s hard to know (a) what the facts actually are, and (2) what is being covered up or hidden by women (and men) for whatever reasons, and (iii) Why such things may be happening, and (d) What to do about said problems.

One thing I know? More polarization, feminist claptrap & shaky stats, screaming & threats & no-platforming is a fever symptom, nor anything like a cure. But some people just want to watch the world burn.

A Prayer For Steeber

No matter what, ideology makes for bad science. Bad science makes for propaganda, mobs, threats, and the politics of personal destruction, as against Mr. Steeber, student at UPitts. This is tribal Marxism, not civil society.

BlackLies and Campus Feminists versus Milo is all very entertaining, and shows the level of male & conservative frustration with the mini-police-state now in force on many college campuses. Thinking and asking is verboten: difficult ideas and debate & academic principles are merely ‘sexist’ if they don’t support the various victim-groups.

And the uncertain or phony radical factoids are taken for granted– almost as a test of your being “In” group– even if the data does not support the conclusions, or the tricks in interpretation. Results? Rape Culture! 1 in 4! Pay Gap! The Evil Patriarchy! Listen And Believe!

Thus, if Mr. Steeber questions all-holy 1 in 4 factoid, he’s not a student in an academic environment of learning, evidence, study, footnotes and research: he’s an enemy of the women-people, he hates teh women, and despises women who have been raped or sexually assaulted! Smite him!

In other words, he doesn’t believe in Unicorns. Well: nobody should. ~

This is how utopia is furthered– by assaulting someone with noxious liquids.

~ REPORTER LAUREN SOUTHERN recently had a liquid– possibly urine– poured on her head while chatting with some protesty-types. Yes, it’s assault, but she was really begging for it, because she did not surrender to their outrage or propaganda or questions. And because patriarchy.

I mean, what deeply delightful people (a fascistic anti-fascist group called VANATIFA, who are also big into banning & no-platforming). Must invite them over for a wee cuppa pee. I meant, tea. They write, about their fearless and life-riskingly bold act of fighting for freedom banning and empeement and stuff:

About 5 or 10 minutes later, another smaller crowd of wing-nut conspiracy theorists, and other right-wing weirdo’s including the men’s rights activist, our local Ann Coulter, Lauren Southern, with multiple expensive cameras show up across the street on Dunsmuir. Frothing at the mouth with the gravest concern for free speech, and no concern whatsoever for white-supremacy, or the possibility of fascist organizing taking place in the city, they begin their live streaming and internet reporting. At some point, a bottle of piss is dumped on Lauren.

Blathering Elf

Opinionated Binks commented on a Lauren Southern vid via Tube Of You, in response to someone saying “Feminism is not Pro woman, it is anti man.” Saith teh Binks:

Frankfurt School Feminism is to women (and all other humans) what clear-cutting and paving everything is to a forest.

When the Glorious political Revolution didn’t take over all of Europe in the 1920s & 30s, the leader revoltings realized they’d have to slowly Tear It All Down. All of it. [ http://www.angelusonline.org/index.php?section=articles&subsection=print_article&article_id=2514 ]

Church, state, education, national identity, freedom, politics as usual, the courts & laws, marriage & childbearing, all male-female relations, learning, books, media, entertainment, thought itself, getting along with your neighbour. All must be undercut, radicalized, subverted and torn down, until the naked and defenceless individual lies naked before the brutal dehumanized power of the state, like someone tied down in the desert under the burning sun. Then, utopia, or something.

Lauren Southern somehow mostly escaped The Machine, and the prog-SJW bots cannot compute, only hate and make loud noises. When she interrupted a slutwalk, the sluts tried to accuse her of undue interest in the young just-teen women who were there in their underwear. Thankfully, there was video of everything, and so the destroy-narrative did not go off.

Get To Da Choppah! Naow!

I, for one, agree with Miss. Southern, and the hilarious anti-SJW meme:

I personally self-identify as an attack-helicopter,” she said in the vid, not long before the empeement assault.  Guess that makes us both.. helisexuals? Don’t oppress us with your heliphobia! You must accept our vehicle privilege.

Helicopter
INCOMI-I-ING!

Back To Reality

Keep laughing, fact-checking, and standing firm against the tide of political and popular manure which now passes for ‘Progressivism’ and ‘Social Justice Warriorism’. These cry-bullies are deadly serious, and they have broken and subverted many things, institutions and people. But in the process of fighting, resisting, deflecting, and truth-telling, don’t become like them– a joyless, childish, self-indulgent, piss-lobbing and hate-spewing, and menacing rad-bot. We must take breaks in these battles to laugh at ourselves, laugh at them, and to laugh at our silly sad humanity, so easily mislead and misleading.

Cough Up, Naow!*

This is why I hope some of you will be moved to cough up the $8 monthly ($1.54 a week, or $80 a year) to support the new subscription version of Rebel Media (you can find all the deets here).

I know, I know– pennies are tight, jobs are at risk, Canada is being swamped with big government and dumb and debt and SJW ideas from our political class. All the more reason to support a freedom-loving truth-telling news group like Rebel Media. Social media like this is worth it, and the Gliberals in power won’t be supporting it any time soon.

Canada has nothing else like Rebel Media; we need nothing more urgently than exactly this  free and open news source to combat the mainscream sockpuppet media outlets, in our increasingly troubled and propagandized world. So whether via subbing, or passing on the word to others if you can’t provide financial support just now, every little bit helps, right? What are you waiting for?

Show the SJW piss-babies what you stand for! Helisexualism! Rebel Media, and press freedom! ~

Full disclosure: I’m one of the volunteer bloggers on The Rebel’s Megaphone blog site. This obviously means that Ezra owns my soul, and that I worship Lauren Southern, and want to have babies with Brian Lilley. Or something like that.

Let’s Imprison All Women & Girls.. Should Work Out OK, Right?

Quote:

“Will heterosexuality survive men’s liberation?

It won’t, not unless women get their act together, have their power taken from them and behave themselves. I mean, I would actually put them all in some kind of camp where they can all drive around in quad bikes, or bicycles, or white vans. I would give them a choice of vehicles to drive around with, give them no porn, they wouldn’t be able to fight – we would have wardens, of course! Men who want to see their daughters or female loved ones would be able to go and visit, or take them out like a library book, and then bring them back.”

Wow, super-crazy, right? Those Men’s Rights Activists are clearly sexist & extremist.

Except– it was said about men (original article). By a Brutish British Feminits woman. What’s that, you say? Just joking, was she?

The Other McCain wonders: “Where is any feminist speaking out against Bindel’s forthright advocacy of “political lesbianism”?”

Oh, Those Rutgers Kids!

hootscream
Hoot, Scream, Insult, Label, Shut Up, #@$%&!, they argued persuasively. With paint in their eyes.

~ THE SCREAMERS & face-paint splodgers who tried to no-platform Milo Yiannopoulos are not done yet. Hey, hey! Ho, ho!

You see, the cry-bullies just haven’t been heard, and you’ve mean-spiritedly misunderstood them, and, like, also, and they have totally important stuff to say. Aside from slogans, face-paint, public disturbances, and a very watered down 175 year old Marxism and the 227+ year old Revolutionism.

The neo-Jacobinettes now have a YouTube Channel, so feel free to ‘enjoy’ their offerings. Oh, and plus? Because Milo’s an “assh*le”, one says no doubt in a spirit of diversity, inclusion, tolerance, and safe spaces, you #%@! bigot. Right then.

horrible people
Behold the unspeakable bearded minions of patriarchal evil, and Fabulous Milo! ! Smite them now!!

Living In The Ruins

The Promised SJW Utopia.. So Very Very Close!

There are not a few lost, sad, broken & odd people clustered under the SJW-pity party umbrella. I feel sad for them, for they have lost they know not what, in exchange for easy propaganda and screaming. Still, these are alleged adult alleged university kids.

That old academic idea that you study & ponder and listen first, second, and third, and only then (and very humbly) come up with some thoughts or words or ideas? Lost on them. Modern undiversity rewards insta-blab, BrainingLite, endless outrage and offendedness, and “Talk First (and loudly), Brain Later (if ever), cuz actual thought is a tool of the oppressors! This often devolves into #@%!$&*! and schoolyard-style name-calling, now with added threats and shoving, before you know it.

offendedds

See, if I thought Milo was evil incarnate, I’d read up & learn up on his arguments and articles, write down some questions, criticism, and serious problems I saw, and go at it during the question & answer, on a blog, in e-mails, or in discussion. Not as fun, but much more effective, IF your goal is to actually learn, practice critical thinking, and (just imagine) actually convince Milo on a point or two to change his mind, or elaborate and correct his ideas.

On The Other Hand

A wise old prof of mine used to talk about his youthful university days, when he came to one of his profs, enthusiastically proclaiming that he had a new and exciting theory on the subject of the class. The professor thought a moment, then said (not cruelly) “..But why on earth would anybody be interested in that?”

Fr-Crouse
The Rev’d Dr. Canon Robert D. Crouse

That student later went on to be one of Canada’s wisest and mostly unsung Anglican  professors and leading theologians, an adviser to bishops, archbishops, international scholars, and even a few popes. He was even described as “the conscience of the Canadian Church”. All because, first of all, he learned that true learning is mostly about listening first.

La La La, I Can’t Hear You!

It’s worse, now– more and more surrender to the quick-setting brain cement of Social Justice Marxism, slogans, propaganda, hate-speech, sexism-racism-fascism, and dehumanizing people on the basis of appearance, sex, skin colour, and ideas. The students are revolting.

The prizes? Instant moral high-ground, instant conflict, instant significance! Regurgitating something you heard someone else said that someone else said somewhere is not learning; it’s not reasoning, intelligence or wisdom; it’s not even a second-hand education. It’s programming. Instant stupid.

FREE EDUCATIONAL RULES 101

its_free

Free advice is worth every penny, so here you go.

The only question, whether you’re considering Milo, or bell hooks, or your prof or textbook or favourite speaker is:

Is This True (or False)? (this takes reason, and patience)

Then, another big question: How Do I Know This Is True (or False)? (This takes research)

And if you’ve gotten that far, then:

What is Right And Wrong (Or Uncertain) About This idea/ argument/ position? (This takes the ability to objectively think outside a position– or on both sides– so you can coolly figure the good & bad of a particular argument, claim, or asserted truth).

The good news here?– if you can properly do this last step, you’re 5 times further ahead than someone who only understands (or misunderstand) one side of the argument.

truth

Truth.. Just Is, Man

It’s a sad mess: and Rutgers is only one of many such semi-insane schools throughout North America, which have forbidden the search for truth.

Truth does not depend on a majority or minority vote; it has no colour, race, political stance, or creed; it does not have a best-before-date; professors or teachers or writers may or may not be actually interested in it; radical mass movements tend to discourage thought, introspection, seeking truth, or being fair to the opposition.

A few warnings on truthing gooder:

  • Repeating something often enough does not automatically make it true, or untrue.
  • Because a book or prof or politician said something does not magically make it true, or untrue.
  • Truth is true, whether you like it or not.
  • The popularity of an idea does not somehow make it true, or untrue.
  • Real learning is very hard work.
  • Your grasp of the truth is necessarily imperfect. Be humble, but defend what truth you know & have, until you learn otherwise.
  • The pooling of ignorance in search of truth does not guarantee you or your committee will ever find any.
  • Ignorance– especially deliberate bad learning, or dumbing yourself because ideology– can lead to mindless and unpleasant behaviour.
  • The truth is often risky, unpopular with the cool kids, hard to live with, and you bear responsibility for what you know, and for passing it on.
  • To know that you know nothing, or very little, is the beginning of learning, as Socrates taught.

I hope these collij kids– like the one in the vid above– one day wake up and realize who they are, what they’ve become, and how very very little they really know or understand. I hope.

The world is still dangerous for the lock-step supremacists, as I recently pondered here.

~ THERE’S A VERY MESSY new culture war within the ruins of what used to be called the liberal left– between the cry-bully safespace-kids, and the older generation of progressives. Grab your popcorn!

The latest tactic for the younger generation of radicals is something called ‘No Platforming‘– or, raising a stink about someone, no matter how, to get them banned from a public event, discussion panel, or convention, and reported to various authorities.

waaaahbabies

Evil banned comic via.. and buy the t-shirt

This ideological civil strife has broken out into several recent public disputes and events in the UK & US, including atheist star Richard Dawkins, aging English gay activist Peter Tatchell, feminist icon Germaine Greer, 80’s feminist Julie Bindel, and young gay-con Milo Yiannopolous, just to mention a few thought-criminals against lock-step campus progressivism.

In some cases, aging radicals dislike the fact that their uppance has come, that the radical forces they helped unleash are now biting them in the hindquarters. Hilarity ensues.

Julie Bindel is one such cheerful sower of dragon’s teeth. She has actually proposed “concentration camps for all men, a group she doesn’t actually even regard as human.” Further, as the headline below proves, she doesn’t even understand what the no-platforming monster is all about in 2016. It’s hard being stuck in the 1980s.

CQ8A_OmU8AAyxGr
Nutty Older Feminist Bully Mad At Younger Feminist Bullies For Using Feminist Bullying Tactics On A Nutty Older Feminist Bully. Must be men’s fault.

No-platforming was originally an anti-fascist tactic, but has mutated into a form of campus censorship, and silencing of free speech– now against many of their own ideological allies and elders, no less, as well as their peers, professors, and other victims. And so it spreads like an anti-intellectual fungal infection into society from there.

noplatform

Yes, this is actually a thing, and– ironically and sadly– it’s arising in England, the home of free speech, parliamentary democracy, and hard-won liberty under law. Magna Carta? Didn’t learn about that in my Afro-Concentric trans-lesbian basket-weaving course, so it can’t be all that important, can it?

“If you’re upset or offended, tough! That’s what universities are for.”

Progressive Kids Are Teh Scary

Black-eyed-children-1

We’ve created a noisy minority within the current generation of university students. They literally believe that offending anybody in any way is utterly unacceptable– unless you’re off-message, non-progressive, or one of those icky oppressive hook-nosed Jewishes.

No remorse, no regret, no mercy, no logic, no care for those whom they silence or crush, victory at any cost, human or otherwise. They don’t just gaze into Nietzsche’s abyss, they paddle around in it: “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster“, warned crazy Friedrich.

And it’s spread to universities near you. In one burst of irony-free activism, a student  called for the merely potentially offensive London School of Economics free-speech society to be banned— amounting to freedom from speech. Can’t be too careful.

“Just ENJOY the feeling. There is no need to rationalise it.

The warm angry glow of moral superiority becomes addictive….”

~ John Cleese

Such political correctness has been around for decades, and petty campus bullies and idiots  and petty tyrants are nothing new– I used to encounter them all the time. Fast-forward to 2016, and now the social media megaphone has gotten them more attention and money, made them more bold, and enforced their cry-bully outrage and ideology. And they are much more busy & dangerous.

The Laughability

cleeserumour

Monty Python member, actor and author John Cleese wisely warns: “If you start to say ‘We mustn’t, we mustn’t criticize or offend them’, then humor is gone. With humor goes a sense of proportion. And then as far as I’m concerned you’re living in 1984….” (Real Time with Bill Maher: John Cleese on Political Incorrectness (HBO).

As part of our fact-based strategy to push-back against the campus neo-fascists, we must also use humour, mockery, strident criticism and an utter refusal to apologize or seek approval from the cry-bully social justice warrior mob. Take no prisoners– pray for them, love them, speak to them.. and laugh at them.

With a sense of rebellious and fun-living mischief, humour can keep us sane, humble, thick-skinned, and prevents our becoming monsters-– those boring, unsmiling, grumbling, prowling, bellowing & howling perpetually offended zombies for The Cause.

Keep smiling.

Look At Me!.. But Not Too Closely…

‘Truuuust Me!’ Says Binky

 

 

PLEASE IGNORE all that follows.. after all, I’m merely a privileged white male cisgendered Canadian elf. As a white male of my species, I’m no doubt a patriarchy racists sexism, and one of the micro-causes of endless micro-aggressions. Stupid fat elf. Boo, me!

Attention-seeking is a complex thing. What happens when you mix toxic ideology with deeply damaged or nasty people?

Serious fireworks ensue.. and perhaps some insights.

Doubting The Doubters

17stevens2
Me Spong! You Bigot! No awkward questions, please.

An Anglican philosopher friend of mine once took on the notoriously attention-seeking (but question avoiding) controversialist Bishop and writer John “Look At Meee” Spong. The crowd were mostly Spong-devotees, but my friend took his shot.

My friend said:

(1) You (Spong) assert that much of religion (& Christianity in particular) is actually a Freudian-style projection of father-issues into universal truth claims about God. (My Dad In The Sky).

(2) So your (Spong’s) view of God is essentially a projection of your (Spong’s) own interior father-issues (Spong had a bad relationship with his father, he reports) into universal truth-claims about God.

(3) Therefore: if you’re right, why should anyone believe what you (Spong) claim to be true or not true about God & religion, if it’s all ‘actually’ about your projected personal fatherhood issues, and not truth claims about what is actually real and true? Why should anybody care about that?

Spong’s religion = how he feels about his dead Dad. Right up there with his opinions on knitting, and eggrolls.

Wait for it. Booooooooooooooooooom.

booooooom

In that flash of simple logic, my friend demolished mitred narcissist Spong’s clever 50-year schtick of ‘trust me’ doubting, deconstruction, and the flawed thinking behind his ‘because Freud’ agnosticism.

Then It Got Really Weird

What happened next? Nothing sensible.

Bp. Spong wiffled, waffled, and then attacked (as usual). My gregarious & thoughtful friend was ‘judgmental’ and ‘narrow-minded’ and unpleasant and ‘fundamentalist’. That is, Spong The Famous Doubter could not– or would not– answer reasonable questions doubting Spong’s own doubt. Question ME? Name-calling, you bigot!

Here’s where it gets.. even weirder.

During a break after question-time, a Spongite woman came up to my friend, asking him to back off, and ‘be nicer’ to Spong, because he was a deeply damaged man, who spoke on behalf of so many other damaged people. Er, what-now?

Or, “Please lay off on the facts & logic and truth stuff, or any holding our hero accountable for his wreckifying via ideas, lectures, words, debates, books, ‘sermons’, TV appearances, and wealth & fame as a very public doubter and agnostic about Christianity, because.. feelings!” Leave Crazy Spong Alo-o-o-one!, cry the other crazy people.

How Very 21st Century

hypocrite1

Public personas are just that: a public face-mask presented to the world. Anything can be behind the mask. What about the human toothaches, who enjoy making trouble? The deeply troubled but obnoxious, who are banging around injuring people and screeching about causes? Or the criminal, presenting themselves as heroes, whilst hiding dark secrets?

Even when we present questions, arguments, fact-checking and real data to the debate, we may be just scratching the surface of what’s going on.

+++

Breitbart writer Milo Yiannopoulos wonders just how many troublesome ‘radical’ attention-seeking public figures on the Left are not simply voices for some progressive position, but underneath may be deeply damaged, malignant narcissists, drama-seekers, or hurting/ hurtful people flailing about injuring innocent people and breaking things, under the guise of activism, feminism, social justice, or whatever other excuse for being sad, bad, or bat-spit mad. He says (29:20 and forward):

“Very often you’ll discover deep dysfunction in their private lives, and my supposition, my guess, is that very often the business of engaging in social justice, of bullying of other people, the engaging in the Oppression Olympics  is quite often a sort of therapy for people who are suffering. It’s a sort of learned response to trauma.

Because after a while, you realize that so many of the ringleaders in this incredibly.. off-the-wall movement have such checkered, dark, you know, ugly pasts, of lies, drug-taking…. Very often because they are attention-seekers, they are desperate for affirmation, and for “Victimhood Bucks”….”

Strategic Butt Coverings!

asbutts

Recently, internets feminist saint Anita Sarkeesian told her supporters (US$170K on Kickstarter, another US$700K from various other sources 2014-present) that all her Feminist Frequency work is just too much (3 hours & 40 minutes of video, and related research, plus some articles, including her latest civilization-saving YouTube vid on, um, “Strategic Butt Coverings“). Pixel-bums. Not joking.

Mz. Anita’s easing back because– note this– she now tells us she’s suffered a life-long battle with depression & now burnout, plus some mean critics & anti-feminists on the internets are making her feel bad. But no refunds.

472733760
Depressions! Burnouts! Get my good side!

Who said what-now?! Anita: many people have depression, or burnout– such runs in my own family– but we’re not all swanning about with a cool mil, showing up on magazine covers & whinging at UN committees, getting riches & fame by preachily pissing on Men’s Rights, gamer culture, and men in general… all whilst having an undisclosed distorted and distorting mental illness. Publicity and followers and free money is not helping you get better, if you’re actually telling the truth about all this.

No, not all depressed people are unfit or ‘nuts’– but depending on the details, depression-things can make things appear much darker, more dramatic & ‘conspiratorial’, self-centred, scary or overwhelming than they really are. Hidden physical or mental suffering can be a circus-funhouse of unhappy, and not necessarily an accurate place from which to view the world, yourself, or others.

Binks For Rent!

For Rent Key Means Lease Or Rental.
‘Reeeeent Me!’ Says Binky

By the way, if anybody offers me a million dollars to regurgitate super-simplistic sophomore summaries of black Commie SJW Feminist Bell Hooks, I will also shave the Binky-pits, wear the Sarkeesian giant hoop-earrings, bright lipstick, plaid shirts and dyed side-locks. I promise to silence and mock anybody who disagrees with me, Bell Hooks, or Zoe Quinn, because Reasons. I will not plead burnout after my choice to spend 18 months in the public eye.

Anyone? Anyone?

Into The Bedlam?

2581530-unnamedjpg
Pro Damsel Mz. Chelsea Van Valkenburg, and her feline fur-baby.

Other hardcore Social Justice Warriors– like ‘Zoe Quinn‘ (a.k.a. Chelsea Van Valkenburg), or Randi Harper, or Shanley Kane— have more than proven themselves unethical, dishonest, troubled, and unstable people. They conceal their dark and crazy from their audience & opponents, and act out in various ways via ‘justice issues’, almost as a kind of avoidance of looking at themselves, finding treatment, or owning up to serious sins, crimes, or crises behind the public/ internet false mask.

Look over here! And over there!! Injustices!! Run! Hurry! Do what I say!! Self-awareness? Answering critics? Not so much.

The Unusual Suspects

Some ‘social justice’ progressives even turn out to be stalkers, male and female rapists, pedophiles, sociopaths, fraud artists and scammers, petty criminals, or compulsive liars, perhaps punishing others and society because malice, issues, or injuries in their lives. Not good.

Or, are you a well-connected and vengeful feminist bully (name rhymes with ‘Stephanie Guthrie’) who thinks they have a right to silence and lie about lowly non-feminist male scum who dare disagree via Twitter? Why not persecute him online, then drag Gregory Alan Elliott to court for three long years of frivilous misery, where the ‘due process’ is the bankrupting punishment? That’s here in Trudeau’s NeoCanada, but thankfully she lost (until the inevitable weepy legal appeal). This damaged chick should pay all his court costs, and for wasting taxpayer’s time & money. Ms. Guthrie can never give back his lost years. Nope, no issues or ideology there!

Cuffs

Utopian Ideology + deep personal problems = The Patriarchy is out to get me! I was Twitter-raped! They’re trying to kill me! All men are evil! Believe everything I say, or else! I’m being triggered! Intersectional micro-aggressions! Silence my critics! I have internet PTSD!! Kill all men! Help me, love me, cuddle me, give me a blankie and a teddy-bear, cuz I’m scared and sad and bad and lonely!!

It can get awfully ugly, when egotism, disease, disorder, evil, malice, and guilt is running the show.

Physician, Heal Thyself?

OK: Whoa now– first things first. This is not about dogpiling anyone. These people are people, and some of them really need help, or to get offline, and to shut up until they are better.

It’s simple, but not easy. Be healed if you would heal. Turn to God, and be made new.

This is at least part of what Jesus was teaching when he warned about being hastily judgmental (St. Luke 6:41-42). He was not in fact against judging– i.e., assessing something or someone correctly, in order to rebuke and/ or help them.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Blinded by a huge plank, O sinful bossy hypocrite? Then don’t rush into performing expert eye-surgery on others. Or: got am aster-plan to fix all the things, SJW? How about starting the fix-up with yourself, first?

eye2

If we are moved by love and mercy, and a desire to save & heal– and if we have seen, repented of, and confessed our sins & bad attitudes and mistaken ideas– then we have de-planked our own eye, stepped out of hypocrisy and blinding sin and harsh judgement, and become someone able to help others with their specks. We’re not moved by proving how wise and awesome and self-important we are, but by a healing which we humbly wish to share.

The Zombie Way

On the other hand, feeding off our badness and miseries to make others miserable and bad, is a destructive zombie-life. So is choosing to become creepy and more troubled, revelling in our depression, anxiety, sins, and hurts, and living a double life of public righteousness and ranting, and inward evil and sorrow. Why heal up from that broken leg? Keep limping along, and hit it with a hammer once in a while– and hey! Why not break other people’s legs with a hammer, too? Then, find all sorts of people to blame for it, make some videos and get a loyal following, then see if you can raise a hundred thousand bucks on Patreon in sympathy?

Not for this elf. Don’t listen to SJW celebrities– or anyone for that matter– without wondering who they really are, what motivates them, and what kind of fruit they bear in the public square and their personal lives. ~
