~ 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….”
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.
~B~
* I’m not claiming to have any inside info or anything, but I’d like to lay odds that His High Smugness, Lord & Holy Mother Justin Trudeau might, in fact, be revealed later as The Actual AntiChrist, so fulfilling the ancient prophecies of the dark enemy of humanity and the Lord Jesus Christ, as Satan incarnate, type thing.
You heard it here first. Ya never know, eh?…. “Like, OMG! Satan incarnate has the BEST hair! I’m so totally into him! TAKE MY SOUL, JUSTI-I-I-IN!!” ~
LONG AGO, a zealous interrogator and his death-squad are riding to their next big destination: a large city, reportedly ripe with the new extremists. Oh, yes, the scum will suffer!
Out of nowhere, the interrogator is blasted by a blinding light; his horse rears, and he’s thrown down to the dusty road.
A booming voice outside and yet inside his head, too: “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?”
“Wh-who are you, Lord?” His vision is now gone entirely.
Then the voice says, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.”
Sometimes you have to be flat on your back before you can look upwards, and towards God.
The interrogator’s life shatters into countless pieces.
That Jesus in whom he disbelieved, whose followers he persecuted and against who he breathed threats and murder– He is in fact the Risen Lord, The only-begotten Son of the Father, the true promised Messiah of the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets.
Soon, Saul of Tarsus is baptized, and from being a persecutor and rounder up of Christians for trial and execution, he becomes Paul The Apostle to the Gentiles, ultimately dying by execution-sword outside Rome, having travelled much of the Roman world for Jesus.
An Astonishing Thing
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.“
Those are astonishing words, if you ponder them. In the suffering of his faithful sheep, it is Jesus himself who is being persecuted. It brings new light to his teaching “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.”
A White Robed Army
Around the world, Christians are at this very moment suffering for their faith. Death, assault, torture, rape, trial, arson, destruction of churches and holy books, imprisonment.
Right now, part of what the U.S. supported ISIL is doing is rounding up young Christian women and girls for rape by their troops; beheading and crucifying other Christians; converting churches into mosques; burning Christian libraries and thousands of priceless ancient documents.
That’s not including the sufferings of Christians for their faith in China, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and via increasing repression and exclusion in the West. The 20th century– under Communism, Nazism, and a resurgent Islam, saw more Christians tortured and martyred simply for being Christians than in the previous 20 centuries combined. Most people don’t know the scale of this historic evil, and many just don’t care.
Where are we in 2016?
Right here:
“The Islamic State (ISIS) is committing evil. ISIS is purposefully and methodically slaughtering Christians and other religious minorities to eradicate them.”
The response of international human rights groups? The UN? The heads of most Western governments, including “Christians” like Obama, or Junior Trudeau? Major media outlets? Virtual silence, or else only minor, belated, and muted concern.
Politically correct & Muslim-pandering Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau is wrong: Prioritizing refugee claimants isn’t “disgusting.” Anti-Christian genocide is. And he’s cancelled the prioritizing.. just open the floodgates for the “migrants”.
Even worse? In the manufactured “Migrant Crisis”, both Turkey and Western governments are not sending actually persecuted and suffering Christians, refugee camp dwellers, and other faith groups first of all to the West– but Muslims currently dwelling in Turkey. It’s a genocide we’re aiding and abetting.
Actual Christians
The average Christian is not a rich white TV evangelist or millionaire mega-pastor, but an impoverished woman from the third world. Sadly, most Western elites are lapsed or cultural Christians, who imagine that the church and thus most Christians are rich, white, safe, comfortable, and rather narrow-minded and unpleasant about.. certain sensitive topics.
What ancient and mdoern dictators and extremists know, even if soft and gelatinous Western elites don’t, is that faithful Christians can be tough, hard-working, resilient, faithful, unyielding in important matters, supporters of human rights & freedoms, speakers against injustice and misrule, aiders of the poor and needy, and peaceful enemies of brutal regimes.
The Fight Back
Thankfully, groups like the ACLJ and others are fighting for their brothers and sisters in Christ in practical, legal, and political venues.
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.”
If He is who He said He was; and if we either help, or instead stand by doing nothing, our everything could hang in the eternal balance.
Donate to groups like the ACLJ (click here); pray for the persecuted church; get educated on persecution in the past and present; write letters to your local, regional, and national representatives; write letters ans speak out to international governments; and in all of it, persist until you make a difference, and help those who cannot now help themselves, and who will be encouraged by knowing people care.
“Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me…. Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.”
~ 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!
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.
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!
#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!
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.

Oh, and BTW, here’s your Safe Space –> [ ]. One at a time, please.
Hugs & kisses,

*P.S. This is one of the few times I’ve mentioned Ben Shapiro on this blog. I’m no longer a fan, due to his bought & paid for status as a Trump-basher. No, I’m not a Trumper, either. Why is so much olden-tyme journalism of all stripes so corrupt? #BinksNotForSale!
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.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
~ THESE DAYS (and since WW2, especially) railing away at politicians and various national leaders may feel good, but misses the point. The bullseyes lie elsewhere.
Prime Ministers Brain Mulroney, Jean Chretien, Paul Martin, Evil Steve Harper, and “Just Watch Me” Trudeau Jr. all had or have a certain amount of power, but long ago sold their souls to the powers behind them– of globalist, banking, and political elites, and the lies and half-truths and toxic tales they tell. Most world leaders that matter are on a leash, albeit of gold and studded diamonds.
Nonetheless, a lot of modern political leadership– like Blair, Obama, Trudeau, the unelected Eurocracy, and others, seem to be a specific hollow and unpleasant type. Perhaps it makes them more prone to be bullies, and sockpuppets, I dunno.
Got A Point, Binky?
A recent take-no-prisoners article by American Catholic flamethrower Ann Barnhardt (Diabolical Narcissism: GASLIGHTING) certainly seems to have the current pope down to a nicety– and the same inward evil seems present in a lot of other leaders, politicians, celebrities, and Social Justice Warriors and progressives in The Year Of Our Lord 2016.
Give her a read, and feel free to agree or disagree or differ– it was recently a free country after all, so the police won’t be by to round you up quite yet. Soon, perhaps.
And of course, anyone, no matter own ‘ordinary’ can be a malignant narcissist. They just get a lot worse the more power they have, and the more people they can hurt.
All around us, in our carefully fenced in politically correct culture and media, are ticking time-bombs of goodness, beauty, truth, and ordinary humanity. Books, art, thought, faith, architecture– terribly risky stuff. Ought to be banned. After all, at any time one might go off, and all of a sudden someone’s safe little SJW world is blown to smithereens.
The modern Left/ progressive movement is a religious cult without a God, except The One Message. Only this– things & people and reality are not as the crazy Left describes or wants them to be, and reality can and will break in from any direction, except in the most extreme and die-hard cases.
I mean, there you are, smugly minding your own politically correct business, and then something like this sneaks up on you….
… and there’s the crepuscular God-beams, and all the unearthly glowing golds and reds and endless shades of rich orange and dusky blue and royal purple, and suddenly you zone out and find yourself awe-struck and silent in wonder, pondering idly about life, God, or heaven, or beauty, or What It All Means; or, worse, you have one of those mysterious heart-piercing timeless for a thousand years moments, which leaves you flooded with a kind of wrenching homesickness and teary joy, and all your angry politics and petty little orthodoxies seem “weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable” (Hamlet: Act 1, Scene 2) …. and there’s another mind and soul awakened.
Call The GooglyTwitBook Police!
Recently on YouTube, the discussion section on this excellent Milo video (also featuring “Based Mom” Christina Hoff Sommers) broke out into verboten thinking & free speech about how disappointing Progressivism is in reality, and how cruelly it treats people. Several folks there described such political awakenings out of kinderSJWland safe-spaces to reality.. then actual more open discussion (not yet restricted by Google) broke out!
It’s a reminder that just openly chatting, telling the truth as we know it, and that laughing at and speaking back to supremacists with logic, facts and humour can make a huge difference, since the change of one heart & mind may be the beginning of changing the entire world. The rads & progs may own most of the megaphones, but we have an endlessly appealing reality and freedom we’re trying to win & keep for ourselves and everybody.
Binks Brings Teh Blathers
Being a tireless babble-box, I had to weigh in. I too am a former Canadian soft-lefty relativist with past criminal and anarchic leanings (see below for copies of some of the comments). Here’s what I said to ‘Townsend’, a German guy who is sick of the Left, in full.
Townsend:
I’m happy for 3rd Wave Feminizzum! It has brought me, a left leaning liberal, together with conservatives, who I now consider my brother(s). Certainly not economically but in very many points regarding our culture.
Binks:
+Townsend — Welcome aboard! You will a find only a very tiny minority of Conservatives/ libertarians/ SoCons to be nuts– and that mostly frustrated anger. Most of us are happy, funny, facty, friendly, smart, ordinary people just trying to get along in a chaotic world. If we’re awake at all, we find ourselves roused off the couch by screaming SJW loonies who are after our kids, schools, mass-media, universities, books, government policies and video games. Yikes!
These desperate and unhappy progressive people believe that not only is Utopia good and possible, but that it is within human power to make it so, the sooner the better. Thus, it’s fair play to bulldoze and dehumanize and scream at the opposition (such as Stupid Milo and Evil Christina) as evil and subhuman. It’s power, not reason, because They’ve Already Got It All Figured Out. Airhorns and no-platforming ensues. This is me (my YT channel is just a parking place): http://www.therebel.media/binks_webelf and over here: https://steynian.wordpress.com
Cheers.
He replied:
+Binks Webelf: Hey Webelf, thanks for the welcome. I’m not afraid of conservatives as in some respect I have always considered myself tending towards conservative positions (family and more general values). It is only that now I speak it out loudly because I want to make my voice be heard against all the hysterical screams from the left. Economically, like I said before, I will still maintain a more left-leaning position, as I do believe in the power of politics over economy (not in the socialist sense though!) But I am German and you’re Canadian (?) so there will not be much to fight about, I guess. But where we both agree if I understand you correctly (I quickly scanned through the links), is that we need to stop this SJW nonsense, mostly because it is a thread to freedom of speech, which we share as much in Europe as you do in North America. Cheers!
Then me again:
Precisely, and yes, you won’t find such a lock-step outside the SJW world.. we’ve got an *actual* diversity of ideas, economic thoughts, moral positions, and backgrounds. That’s the world outside the toxic hive of the hard Left, which has reduced all of Western civilization to a series of slogans, screams, sloppy thinking, and seriously lazy & narrow minds.
If all history and literature and philosophy and politics boils down to “Patriarchy!”, it’s not unlike the scary things which happened in Italy and Germany and the United States in the 1930s. A song with one note only.
Me, I’m a Canadian– default lefty, but fair-minded. Then Islam and the War On Terror and Campus SJW, and the war on free speech, and the attacks on Christians got rolling in the last 15 years.. WTF? My political awakening started there, alongside my existing philosophical and cultural and religious principles.
I’ve found the allegedly evil hateful patriarchal mean-spirited untermensch of the non-Left to be mostly just… decent and interesting people. Such folks seem interested in ideas, care about real people, have manners and courtesy and a great sense of humour, and a capacity to discuss, argue, and agree to disagree. We have even warts, flaws, and make mistakes, and don’t know the answer to all the things!!
Milo? Interesting & funny. Hoff Sommers? Interesting & funny. Paglia? Interesting & funny. Shapiro? Interesting & funny. Steyn? Levant? Southern, and other Canadian non-progressives? Interesting & funny.
And now, the ginormous entirety of Western Civilization is yours to explore and ponder and enjoy– Greco-Roman Judaeo-Christian, the ancient, middle and modern. The whole schnitzel.
It’s no longer verboten, dead white male, sexist, or not affirming of this or that nutty political principle. Cicero, Sophocles, Moses, Jesus, Aquinas, Dante, all the great books and pyramids and castles and cathedrals and history and philosophy, and the full real story (good and bad)– minus the politically correct blinders & filters.
And billions of blogs and forums, and good people actually thinking and talking and joking together about serious things, regular things, fun things.
Wish to chat more: binks.webelf-at-gmail.com
Cheers!
And that’s how ordinary people actually chat without speech-police, no-platforming, Twitter Spies, FaceBook bans, screaming crazy people in red paint or with airhorns, and other lockstep supremacists minding all your thoughts, words, and deeds.
It’s a very dangerous world out there– let’s live dangerously!
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
‘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?
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 RandiHarper, 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!
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?
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. ~
~ FEMINISM (or, ‘Socialism In Panties‘ as one wag calls it) is so ingrained in Western society, we hardly even notice. Even many ‘conservatives’, traditionalists, and religious people live by the insane Marxist notions of modern Female Supremacism and male evilness, even though their own founding ideas and principles are in direct contradiction with such cultural and institutional radicalism.
And yet not all have bent the knee to the goddess. A strange mix of libertarians, Christians & Jews, thinking feminists, men and women, atheists & agnostics, from a dizzying array of backgrounds have come together– starting in social media and blogs– and begun not to nibble at the edges of Big Feminism, but to take it on directly.
Lauren Southern– Evillist hatey hater of teh wimmins!
Shockingly enough, Rebel Media itself has been infiltrated by some of these lunatic extremist women-haters: that bigot Lauren Southern. Binks WebElf? Guilty. Andrew Lawton? Off with his talking head. What of that crackpot Brian Lilley, not to mention Gavin McInnes. Silence them!
In the wider culture, people like former Alberta waitress & YouTuber Karen Straughan & her odd group of like-minded cultural critics The Honey Badgers–“Nerds Bite Back!“– bring the anti-feminism, and calls to equality for men, women and children to public notice.
For me, Karen Straughan is a real Canadian heroine. A truth-teller. A self-educated example who– more than many who get them– has more than earned an honourary degree for her self-education, advocacy, and putting what she has learned into practice, for the good of men, women, and children now and in the future.
These ordinary folks (non-pundits, non-professors non-politians) attract not through some contrasting crazy theory of All The Things, but via facts, studies, research, data, fact-checking, real stories, and awkward questions. . Feminism is hardly perfect and unquestionable.
Of course, feminist radicals simply do not want such debate, inconvenient facts, or real lives to interfere with the one-size-fits-all unquestionable truths of university gender studies, and official Feminism. Enemies of the femocracy are shamed, attacked publicly and online, name-called, threatened, slandered and mocked. This is classic revolutionary practice: ‘Don’t answer any criticism: crush the critics‘!
Such non-feminist evil ones are not legitimate questioners, but are horrible sexists, homophobes, racists, bigots, micro-aggressors, self-hating victims of evil patriarchy, blah blah blah. This is not about having ‘an open discussion’, but shutting down debate, forbidding certain ideas, and imposing one solution to All The Things– albeit totalitarianism with a smile and a hug. For now.
For the totalitarian Left, the problem is that the culture wars continue, as long as the web and public events are free fora for discussion, debate, fact-checking, and for otherwise isolated or voiceless people to question the unquestionable. It’s one of the reasons that both the Left and activist Islam share a common interest in crushing free speech, debate, facts, analysis, and contrasting world-views. Criminalize the opposition!
Canadia Has The Stupid
So what, you ask? In Canada, a recent court case shows us where we’re headed if there’s no fight-back: a professional feminist damsel took a man to court for the non-crime of disagreeing with her and making fun of her ideas on Twitter. The entire video-games industry and nerd-culture was rocked over the past 3 years by radical feminism getting some fight-back from gamers and observers in GamerGate. The ‘rape culture’ debate on campuses is much with us, as is the infamous “Gender Pay Gap”, though both keystones of feminist theory rely on bad data, or flawed interpretations.
Especially here in Canada which is now officially hyper-feminist again under Prince Justin Trudeau, who never met a bad idea he didn’t like, feminism will be enforced. Watch for more government funded intolerant feminist propaganda and in-your-face preaching via government, public school systems, universities, public policy, law-making, politics, media and pop-culture, all telling you what you can and cannot think, say, or do.
Fake Religion-R-Us
Smelly little secular orthodoxies pretending they are Moses coming down from the mountain, or Jesus giving the Sermon on the Mount, must be smited because they are precisely the kind of intellectual clear-cutting which is killing our societies from the inside, as people search for anything to hold onto in the place of thinking and freedom, arising from revealed truth and God. Just say no.
Aside from ‘good intentions’, Feminist radicals and revolutionaries offer us lies, a false path, and mental and human death, in place of the imperfect but life-giving and real cooperation, care, and complimentarity of the sexes, trying to get along in an imperfect world and society.
Read up. Look around. Question. Ponder. Get to know the little army of big damn heroes fighting back against the oppression of men and women and children by Big Feminism. ~
Canada’s Hard-headed Tough-As-Nails Media Party Stands Vigilant, And Ready… to cuddle in Justin Trudeau’s adorable lap. Skweeeeeee!
~ THERE NEVER was a Time Of Pure Journalism, and as the 21st century schemes along, it’s clear there never will be.
In Canada, along with the Unelected Bureaucracy Party and the Robed Judicial Activist Front, is our collection of talking heads of the Unelected Media Party. A few journalists hidden in the mix– the rest are typist and hair for rent, expert at recycling the zeitgeist moment by moment. Journalling? Discerning? Warning & praising? Not so much, akshully.
Now, the collection of odd cats (including Binks) herded together by Ezra Levant and other survivors of the Sun TV wasteful experiment are no such thing as “objective”. But nobody really is. But we are now an important, honest, largely unpaid alternative for anyone seeking real news & opinion in Justinistan.. along with expat Mark Steyn and a handful of others.
Rebel Media: what we are is a rag-bag of people from all sorts of backgrounds, some journalists, some bloggers-become-media sorts, some free speech warriors, some religious, some not, all with a mild conservative or libertarian streak, and contrariness with the almighty status quo. Some of us are even former lefties and liberals and progressives, who have awoken from our fever-dreams and yelled “Stop! Wake up!!”
The alarm clock is ringing: Obamaland is a warning for what comes next in Canada. The false North weak and enslaved has just become Trudeaupistan 2.0— the train-wreck will unfold slowly, expensively, and with all the usual suspects behind the scenes (The Strongs a.k.a. Canada’s George Soros & family, the Liberal Establishment, former PM Bugsy Chretien, and Justin’s collection of fails and ideologues) imposing every new bad idea out there on Canadians as if we were a collection of lab rats in a box, and not a nation with a proud history, some good qualities, and a bunch of adults formerly in control. It will be horrible, like watching someone you love being tortured to death… or watching the last 15 years in Ontario governance.
How much more important than ever is the Rebel Media idea– a Drudge Report Collective, if you will, with some folks with real media chops and political awareness, shining a spotlight on our new Glorious Leader and his court, as all the other unelected Parties in our land cover, fudge, lie, ignore, and describe in loving detail how very fine the new emperor’s new clothes are; how colourful, how finely sewn, how he wears them with class and– Oh!– that hair!
So tell your friends, your enemies, your family, your neighbours, and anybody who actually cares about “News news” as opposed to bulletins from the palace or puff pieces or The Crimes Of He-Devil-Man Harper, Part XXXIV— tell them about Rebel Media.
Conservative people of all stripes are still the majority in Canada, as in the U.S., but progressives like the Obama electoral crew and others who helped Justin Trudeau before, during, and likely after the 2015 watershed election know all about how to marginalize majorities, dividing and conquering, distraction, denial, dragging things out, hating on their enemies, being lawless, and waging unapologetic warfare on society as it is.
Kangaroo courts.. show-trials.. judgement by media.. activist judges ruling us directly.. government versus groups and individuals… everything is the government’s business.. all is ideology… a silencing of dissent or honest disagreement. The new unCanada cometh.
Thus, Trudeau 2.0 is very very far from harmless. The progressives are crusaders minus a cross or a Christ: without hope of heaven, they must make heaven on earth now, no matter the cost, the waste, or the sacrificial crushing of the lives & hopes of the little people, and especially their enemies. There are now going to be two classes of Canadian: the loyal ones, and the traitorous unbelievers. Watch for it.
I, for one, along with many millions of Canadians, and all the crew of rebel scum over at Rebel Media, am proud to stand against the goody-filled tide of soft smiley-faced fascism which is sweeping the West, and now seriously engulfing Canada under the new regime of the smug doofus son of a devilish Communist wrecker.
As always, I am proud to stand with those who love liberty under law, embracing neither anarchy or slavery, even if we face a long defeat in the current phase of the slow suicidal death of the West. Or as Sir William Wallace learned it from his uncle in a different time of conflict and oppression:
