“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
I wrote a post this morning and drafted it entitled Shut Up You Cunts. About the usual suspects marching through my home town of London. Decided I may have gone too far.
Funny though. Same wavelength.
Never understood why women want to match men in making sex an animal show filth. But they do. There is nothing personal about digital stupid cow.
I went to church last Sunday and the priest placed equivalence between Gazans and Israelis. Whilst the reason for the war is cocooned in hell, men women and children most of them foolish peaceniks, stuck with the devils army in hell. And I thought…isn’t it your fucking job to deplore Satan and all his helpers: don’t you make us say so at baptism. And yet here you are drawing moral equivalence between these innocents and satans men. And I wondered : why am I here. Then I switch on the news and there they all are. Satans fans parading the streets. No one says anything: no one cares. My whole life dedicated to a Christian faith which when tested falls apart at the seams. I felt kind of desolate and all I could think was all of you…all of you are utter utter cunts. This is why and how the Nazis could achieve what they did even in an era of modern faith and good manners and “a better age” where families were central to community and fathers had a respected status and men were men. I’ve never understood it all til now. Was it you who write about the rape? You’re the only man to do so. And it is necessary. It is absolutely necessary that good men call out evil and say they’ll stand up to it. Because who else will?
My priest did the same moral equivalence bullshit. He even sent us three emails about it. My opinion of him plummeted. We were told not to take sides and not try to figure out who was at fault. Appalling!
Please do publish it. I'm sick of the usual suspects too. I would read a plain English evaluation, the more blunt the better. Much of the cultural nonsense we hear is just obfuscation. So anything that cuts through it, like the video of Oakland, is welcome.
The craziest part is that she almost won. Seneca is a legend. We are doing what journalists used to do - observe and report instead of chasing the latest current thing on Twitter for clout.
Removing layers of abstraction and word salad from issues is a winning strategy. It’s more difficult to talk around or misrepresent something when you can’t just generalize and dismiss the person making the argument. The videos from Oakland are a great way to illustrate the bare reality of the situation.
Exactly. Here is your equity. Here is your anti-capitalism, where no one has a job. Here is your utopia. How are you finding it? What, you were stabbed by a deranged person? Perhaps you misgendered him?
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
Trust me. Women think it too, conservative women for sure, but possibly leftist women, too, who can't stand the thought that there are women out there who prefer to leave running the country to their men
censoring oneself because the hysteric cant handle any words that dont validate, supplicate or substantiate. and yet probably holds lots positions that are often incongruous with each other.
yeah, but these people: Atlanta’s Keisha Lance Bottoms (gone), Chicago’s Lori Lightfoot (gone...to Harvard!) the District of Columbia’s Muriel Bowser, New Orleans' Latoya Cantrell, all say YOU have a problem with the spectacular way they govern us to a shiny, bright future! Streets of Baja ain't got nuttin' on deez New Orleans potholes, yall
it's a problem. over-credentialed (and sadly, under-educated) women think the letters after their name make them not just smarter, but better than you. there is nothing supporting that bridge but narcissism and ignorance.
Yeah. The women are, left women really, such willing and nasty minions. Terrible little minds doing exactly what they’re told. The women from the Ivy’s were awful. There is no way any one of those women should be running anything more than a bake sale. Even then....
I agree. A friend was active in the National Organization for Women (NOW) and she said we 'had' to vote for Hillary because she was a woman. Nope, I said, I vote for someone based on their past performance and suitability for the position. And she didn't fit the bill.
i feel like your response is more anecdotal evidence in support of my position.
i am going to assume (and correct me if i am wrong) that your comment was a knee jerk reaction.
your incredulity at my “blaming the women of the world” seems silly given your counter of “billionaire boys club”. christine legarde, janet yellen & ursula von der Leyen, jacinda ardern, etc., etc. might like to have a word or two…
we both (another assumption) just read an article in which a woman (adult human female) made porn, put it on the INTERNET and then cried about it when it was widely publicized while she ran for public office. a major publication then writes an article affirm ing the insane notion that people talking about a public figure’s public actions is major violation of…privacy(i think?).
and there is no widespread rebuke (no offense intended, mr. bray) of how utterly stupid that is.
the “tone-policing” and “cancelling and …complaining to the dean” is the result of letting moms on facebook. women too often (not always, there, see? i can qualify statements) think, speak and react from a place of emotion, vibes, and/or their astrology chart. and too often (again, not always) refuse to hear facts/reason because “the patriarchy”.
and the reason my position is so extreme on this (i know it won’t happen, but a girl can dream), is that if we cant A) agree that there is an objective reality above feelings, B) critique our own positions/thoughts, and C) try to reason based on facts and information, then we will continue to be manipulated by and vote for the “deranged lunatics” who continue to inflame our emotions to keep us distracted and dumb.
Men establish order by competing/struggling where ability is the deciding factor. Context-dependent of course - sometimes, Bob is boss because Bob is the best fisherman on the island. Sometimes it's Bruce because Bruce can build stuff. And sometimes it's Deke because he's got a never-ending supply of stoies, songs, poems and jokes to keep spirits up. Unity via struggle, to use a much-maligned phrase.
Women establish order by being and doing alike, while guided by the Matorn of the group who is always Matron and the final word and authority regardless of factual matters, because she has the strongest personality and is the best at keeping the other women together as a cohesive united group. Unity via conformity.
It's no wonder either. The men are out hunting and gathering far from camp, there's anuimals and stuff and kiddies and tons of things that needs doing so the tribe survives and thrives, so a Matron that keeps things running is essential.
But in modern-day industrial soceity?
Men don't need to and aren't allowed to struggle the old way, and women aren't allowed to excel either, being smothered or ostracised by feminist Matrons who put "being the same" above function and cost.
Acknowledge and cherish the differences I say - allow everyone to step up to bat, but everyone does the same tests regardless of any other factor than wanting to try it out.
i've seen the jbp clips on youtube, i am a fan. and agree, the strategies that men and women use to be socially successful/safe, are different. but if men can use their modern intellects to overcome their lizard brain instincts, why cant women?
why does the need to be part of the group, override logic, and reason? and why does the rest of society give us a pass?
it's not that i think women are stupid- it's that so many make decisions based on emotion and how it will make them fit in/get group validation. which politicians have figured out: scare the shit out of your constituents, other your opponents and demonize men, who tend to make decisions based on objective fact.
For men, overcoming the instinct is easier because of our propensity for violence as a method of conflict resolution; violence is risky no matter the type of society, so violence is avoided if at all possible unless you feel sure of winning (or is stupid and arrigant and well, that just means you remove yourself from the pool all that quicker).
So sublimating that into intellectual efforts and being manipulative (manipulative not used here in any negative sense) instead is a safer path for the vast majority of men.
But for women, doing that doesn't offer any benefit, only the risk of ostracisation. Ask any woman who's been a feminist but tried to argue against the group: no matter how civil, how grounded in sourced facts or how otherwise PC she was of thought and deed - the group turned on her. Because to all the memebers of the group, that's the safest course of action.
I'd say the "feminisation" (doesn't really like that term and don't really agree with it but it is the one en vogue right now) of western soceity from the 1970s to today have hurt women far more than men because of this. The men, still naturally more competitive and combative, have adopted the traditional strategies of women and have as such edged out otherwise driven and competent women, forcing them to instead become even more socially manipulative but without any purpose except being able to compete with men and other women like them.
(Sorry, I'm trying to condense it but this topic lends itself to oodles of words.)
Another point is, culturally speaking, a "Lone Man" as an archetype is laden with positive connotations in our tradition of stories (or narratives if you prefer the current word for it); the Lone Ranger, the questing knight, the adventurer-hero. A lone woman as contrast is in stories often related to something being wrong with her - cursed blind seeress, whitch or crone in a hut in the woods, the feared and hated wicked stepmother and so on.
Meaning that in our cultural subconscious, "alone" is felt as much more negative for girls/women, than for boys/men. Also, "alone" boys tend to form their own group of outcasts whereas "alone" girls don't - at best they join the outcast boys. Stephen King's 'IT' is virtually built upon this concept, to use a modern day pop-cultural refernce.
Phew. That's me trying to keep it brief, and english isn't my first language so be aware I may have bungled the tonality of it.
thank you for taking the time to type all that out! those questions were more rhetorical, but again, thank you.
i understand and agree with your assertions. it leads me to think that women need to be recalibrated, in a way. to understand what violence really is (words and silence are definitely not it). but i dont see modern society hanging women out to dry anytime soon.
My unsolicited comment: men want to put out fires, women want to prevent them. And an Alpha male is a necessary, sometimes an a**hole. And women as arsonists need to get a grip on reality. I haven’t figured out much else. Except in these times we may need to.
I must admit I read the Politico-headline you included wrong. An errant 'r' slipped into the wrong place and given the state of the times, well... /insert Adm. Akbar-meme/
As to your last paragraph - yes indeed, to speak plain and true is an act of freedom, not just personal and liberating but an example to others that it can be done. A certain quote from 'Blazing Saddles' might be appropriate as a response to the woke molesters of meaning:
"God darnit Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore."
Of course, there's no way I can pronounce it the right way, but there's no shortage of equivalent phrases in my native tongue either.
If I had money and were the wagering type, I'd be willing to bet she has no real understanding of a single word she's saying. It sounds impressive, all her friends agree, and that's good enough.
That's an awful lot of money to spend at Harvard to be a community organizer. Wonder how she'll be able to pay back her loans. Oh, wait, Biden's done that for her.
James Lindsay, on his “The New Discourses” podcast #129, goes into great length into the subject of “degrowth” and how through the ESG merit system, speech like this young Z’dy, would earn her value points and put her in a good light with the “party”.
Yeah, Susanna Gibson is disturbing in her narcissism and entitlement. She's perfectly serious about her position, no pun intended. I don't think she's cynical. She actually does not see the problem she poses. She's photogenic, looks wholesome. She's a nurse practitioner. Aaaaand she's also an online prostitute and political candidate. Wut. "Idiocracy" the movie strikes again. Life imitates art.
And then the regime media are defending her, because she's a Democrat. If a Republican was doing this, (...and based on what I see lately from the party without a clue, I'm pretty sure that's about to happen any day now...), of course it would be bad, so bad, don't do that!. But if a Democrat wants to show her naughty bits on the internet, or sell secrets to China, or sleep with little kids, well who are we to judge, really? People who live in glass houses and what not, please pass the chardonnay.
I would argue that there is little intellectual or moral distance between Susanna Gibson and the Hamasturbators on the Left. Both reflect our present values vacuum and the untethering of behavior from any kind of anchor. One represents the amorality of the purely transaction modern consumer culture. Susanna doesn't fuck online to make a statement, well maybe a bank statement. She's making a buck, ok? The others represent blind absolutist moral relativism and total ignorance of history in the face of mutilation, kidnapping, and genocide.
But, on the other hand, it's changing, even as it seems it is not. So all is not lost, yet.
“And to prove she has the chops to make it in American politics she has been a prostitute already for ten years! Here she is the Democrat candidate for Governor and also ‘Miss Donkey Tijuana’ for 2023...”.
And please add to your list, NZ's ex-Jacinda Ardern, and her assurances that "we-the govt- are your sole source of truth". I suspect she fits in very well at Harvard now, even if unrecognizable from all the air brushing and photo shopping being undertaken.
My fav (during the peak of the covid insanity): “For the common good”. I would actually shout/ scream at my car radio last year, everytime I heard that insane statement.
I was driving north from Toronto this past summer, and when we entered Simcoe County I saw that the county motto is "For the common good". I immediately said to my wife "I wonder if they've chosen sites for the concentration camps yet!"
A strict former fundamentalist Christian, ex military, ex 777 pilot, Trump hating guy I know asked when I said the lockdowns were terrible and would hurt millions of people, ‘seriously who will be hurt?’ I said ‘most small business owners’. He snorted and said ‘I couldn’t care less about some small businesses. Let them go broke. Do these people really matter? Isn’t society more important than them?’ I said ‘they matter to me.’ He waved my concern away. He was a so so conservative, but Trump is so despicable he moved left. Only person I know who has done that.
We had a long convo, well before COVID. I said ‘we are in a special moment here. This isn’t politics as usual. This is a Biblical, angels versus demons moment’. He said ‘you might be right. I haven’t been looking at it this way.’ But then he said the right had become evil. I was shocked because he had always been conservative before. It turned out he liked the ‘style’ of conservatives, which went when Trump got in.
It is like watching the quarterback hand the football off to a half back who runs it up the middle every play, and everyone pretends that the ultra small changes (he handed it off with his left hand this time) are so unique it can't be predicted or stopped.
So that girl is going to Harvard, I assume paying a lot in tuition, and she can’t complete a sentence without inappropriately using “like” at least twice per sentence?
A REALLY deep recession will clean out much of this. We’ve had 15 yrs of low interest rates that have allowed highly dubious corporate investments to keep alive. When interest rates return to normal, these bullshit investments will fail and get flushed out of the system. More importantly, the artificially high corporate earnings will stop and things like DIE departments and ESG will disappear. This has happened repeatedly since my first career job in 1979.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Right? The headline that survived is not the headline that originally appeared in my mind.

I pause to admire the headline
My priest did the same moral equivalence bullshit. He even sent us three emails about it. My opinion of him plummeted. We were told not to take sides and not try to figure out who was at fault. Appalling!
Is your priest a chap named CJ Hopkins (of this parish) by any chance?
No. It must be widespread
Politics is faith faith is politics it’s all indeed appalling and sad.
LOL I'm just reading this now and it perfectly dovetails with an article I wrote today as well. "Everything is hate speech except the things we say!"
Please do publish it. I'm sick of the usual suspects too. I would read a plain English evaluation, the more blunt the better. Much of the cultural nonsense we hear is just obfuscation. So anything that cuts through it, like the video of Oakland, is welcome.
The craziest part is that she almost won. Seneca is a legend. We are doing what journalists used to do - observe and report instead of chasing the latest current thing on Twitter for clout.

so much of the inanity in our culture today is because we lets hysterics(women) participate in discourse.
#repealthe19th
Interesting. I have often thought this, but it is hard to say out loud. Especially in front of the wife.
Trust me. Women think it too, conservative women for sure, but possibly leftist women, too, who can't stand the thought that there are women out there who prefer to leave running the country to their men
as a wife, that seems to be the problem.
censoring oneself because the hysteric cant handle any words that dont validate, supplicate or substantiate. and yet probably holds lots positions that are often incongruous with each other.
it is embarrassing and maddening.
Haha. Well you might have done better to just tell her, rather than leaving a digital tattoo for her to discover down the road.
Lol...:)
yeah, but these people: Atlanta’s Keisha Lance Bottoms (gone), Chicago’s Lori Lightfoot (gone...to Harvard!) the District of Columbia’s Muriel Bowser, New Orleans' Latoya Cantrell, all say YOU have a problem with the spectacular way they govern us to a shiny, bright future!

You misspelled insanity. :)
i meant inanity, although insanity works, too.
:)
It was said tongue in cheek. I couldn't resist.
They both work well!
gah! the in(s)anity of online discourse has completely messed up my ability to detect sarcasm :(
Yeah. The women are, left women really, such willing and nasty minions. Terrible little minds doing exactly what they’re told. The women from the Ivy’s were awful. There is no way any one of those women should be running anything more than a bake sale. Even then....
only women have ever encouraged me to vote for a particular candidate because of their sex.

If she’s not preparing herself to succeed in the “imperialist capitalist system,” what’s she doing at Harvard?
If I had money and were the wagering type, I'd be willing to bet she has no real understanding of a single word she's saying. It sounds impressive, all her friends agree, and that's good enough.
Maybe she’ll be a community organizer?
So its the Presidency for her, then?
Hey, why settle for less?
She's exactly the kind of hall monitor who ends up in the DGB or whatever they're calling it these days.
That's an awful lot of money to spend at Harvard to be a community organizer. Wonder how she'll be able to pay back her loans. Oh, wait, Biden's done that for her.
Like Obummer.

Maybe, but just think of the “diversity” they bring with them. And isn’t Harvard a much better place now…?
For precisely WHAT value of "better"?
Those would be the legacies...
Yeah, Susanna Gibson is disturbing in her narcissism and entitlement. She's perfectly serious about her position, no pun intended. I don't think she's cynical. She actually does not see the problem she poses. She's photogenic, looks wholesome. She's a nurse practitioner. Aaaaand she's also an online prostitute and political candidate. Wut. "Idiocracy" the movie strikes again. Life imitates art.
And then the regime media are defending her, because she's a Democrat. If a Republican was doing this, (...and based on what I see lately from the party without a clue, I'm pretty sure that's about to happen any day now...), of course it would be bad, so bad, don't do that!. But if a Democrat wants to show her naughty bits on the internet, or sell secrets to China, or sleep with little kids, well who are we to judge, really? People who live in glass houses and what not, please pass the chardonnay.
I would argue that there is little intellectual or moral distance between Susanna Gibson and the Hamasturbators on the Left. Both reflect our present values vacuum and the untethering of behavior from any kind of anchor. One represents the amorality of the purely transaction modern consumer culture. Susanna doesn't fuck online to make a statement, well maybe a bank statement. She's making a buck, ok? The others represent blind absolutist moral relativism and total ignorance of history in the face of mutilation, kidnapping, and genocide.
But, on the other hand, it's changing, even as it seems it is not. So all is not lost, yet.

There's still a donkey show in Tijuana? Who knew?
I mean, I haven't checked in a while.
Uh huh.😏
"an online prostitute and political candidate"
Perhaps a little redundancy there TM?
"There's still a donkey show in Tijuana?"
I would venture to suggest that the ongoing donkey show that tops them all runs continuously in the cesspool by the Potomac.
“And to prove she has the chops to make it in American politics she has been a prostitute already for ten years! Here she is the Democrat candidate for Governor and also ‘Miss Donkey Tijuana’ for 2023...”.
I had to stop listening to the “Harvard student” because she continually said, “like.”
Morons everywhere.
I'm glad to hear Americans find that accent insufferable, as well.
Virtually every narrative means:
Shut up, don't resist, obey.
How many examples can you name? (I'll start)
Trust the Experts
Trust the Science
Two weeks to flatten the curve
Dangerous to our democracy
The adults are back in charge
We are fighting disinformation
We are all in this together
Mostly Peaceful protest
Leading from behind
You will own nothing and be happy
Or else you are a
(insert pejorative here)
And please add to your list, NZ's ex-Jacinda Ardern, and her assurances that "we-the govt- are your sole source of truth". I suspect she fits in very well at Harvard now, even if unrecognizable from all the air brushing and photo shopping being undertaken.
Perfect. Best one yet.
My fav (during the peak of the covid insanity): “For the common good”. I would actually shout/ scream at my car radio last year, everytime I heard that insane statement.
I was driving north from Toronto this past summer, and when we entered Simcoe County I saw that the county motto is "For the common good". I immediately said to my wife "I wonder if they've chosen sites for the concentration camps yet!"
Someone has to explain to the powers that be, if ‘the common good’ means hurting a number of people for real, your theoretical common good isn’t.
A strict former fundamentalist Christian, ex military, ex 777 pilot, Trump hating guy I know asked when I said the lockdowns were terrible and would hurt millions of people, ‘seriously who will be hurt?’ I said ‘most small business owners’. He snorted and said ‘I couldn’t care less about some small businesses. Let them go broke. Do these people really matter? Isn’t society more important than them?’ I said ‘they matter to me.’ He waved my concern away. He was a so so conservative, but Trump is so despicable he moved left. Only person I know who has done that.
We had a long convo, well before COVID. I said ‘we are in a special moment here. This isn’t politics as usual. This is a Biblical, angels versus demons moment’. He said ‘you might be right. I haven’t been looking at it this way.’ But then he said the right had become evil. I was shocked because he had always been conservative before. It turned out he liked the ‘style’ of conservatives, which went when Trump got in.
It is like watching the quarterback hand the football off to a half back who runs it up the middle every play, and everyone pretends that the ultra small changes (he handed it off with his left hand this time) are so unique it can't be predicted or stopped.
Truth. Truth wins. When we speak it. When we do it.
The only way to get people to "do it" is for people to get together and speak as one...and get involved at the local level.
Most people won't "pay the price" to do that as an individual, but might in numbers, because the "cost" is distributed.
Covid was, to say the least, an inauspicious start.....
On that point, this from Louisiana: https://healthfreedomla.substack.com/p/december-6th-capitol-showdown-the?r=17sfvk
Awesome!
Yep, agreed.
So that girl is going to Harvard, I assume paying a lot in tuition, and she can’t complete a sentence without inappropriately using “like” at least twice per sentence?
She has a valid case to demand a refund.
A REALLY deep recession will clean out much of this. We’ve had 15 yrs of low interest rates that have allowed highly dubious corporate investments to keep alive. When interest rates return to normal, these bullshit investments will fail and get flushed out of the system. More importantly, the artificially high corporate earnings will stop and things like DIE departments and ESG will disappear. This has happened repeatedly since my first career job in 1979.
