Oh God, where’s the trigger warning for having a picture of the red haired feminazi!? I need my safe space now!
I like how “it’s not my job to educate you” became a cornerstone. Actually celebrating the outright refusal to present any sort of counter-argument except raw emotional indignation.
Being awash in righteous indignation feels like a win. Does it feel like you won? Then by God, you won. Now, go educate yourself (I am just saying that. I dont really know what that means)
I dont really know what that means
Imagine you are the pigeon on the chessboard.
What, you expect them to actually know the facts themselves to show you how you’re an oppressive shitlord?
they are not going to enact that labor on your behalf, shitlord
But they’ll make shitlords enact labor on their behalf. Interesting how that works out.
I especially like when they describe it as “labor” to.. explain.. what.. they’re… saying, and demand remuneration for their labor.
I am assuming that the prevailing opinion on Becky is a big ‘would’.
I concur.
Yeah, that’s the general consensus. I’d concur.
None of the women or gay men here have commented on Cortez, although that may be due to the X-Ray specs concealing his eyes.
Meh. He looks like Anthony Edwards.
“Goose”?
I had the actually great Miracle Mile in mind, but yes.
Nah. He has a weak chin and his choice of eyewear is off-putting. two drink minimum for ‘would’.
I appreciate the feedback, and I’ll try to get hunkier guys in future. I would point out that his x-ray glasses are necessary to see into Secret Nazi President’s black heart
You’re getting better at pointing the speech bubbles at their mouths, though. I’ll give you that.
two drink minimum for ‘would’.
Nice
You can’t fool me!!! Everybody knows there are no female libertarians.
I voted would on Becky early on.
Aye.
I do too, though it would probably be a one time thing.
(educates self)
Yeah, not making any more sense now.
Has anyone filmed their reaction when someone says “I did educate myself, your points are wrong.”
lol
Isn’t that when they say “Hey, I need some muscle over here!”?
There is often an awkward silence when i point out to ranting feminists that i have in fact already read Simone de Beauvoir, Julie Kristeva, Carol Gilligan, Helene Cixous, et al, and considered the experience one of the most useless wastes of time in my life.
People who admire critical theory (or Feminist critical theory) are the people just smart enough to grasp the outlines of the ideas. If you’re smart enough to grasp the entirety of what its about, you’re smart enough to see why its completely full of shit. Its a form of intellectualism which appeals to people who easily confuse ‘complexity’ w/ intelligence. They love the jargon and the catchphrases and swap them among each other and call it ‘debate’.
The whole point of critical theory is to undermine the western enlightenment. If wasn’t so lazy I would look it up, but I am pretty sure the dingleberries that came up with it admitted that outright. It is designed to scramble your brain so you cant think straight, to pollute society with idiots to the point that society cant function. Looking around it seems they are making some headway but they will fail. In our society the culture of useful idiots has a critical mass beyond which it self-destructs. This ain’t Russia, Cuba, China or Venezuela and we still have the second amendment.
Adorno and Horkheimer
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_theory#In_social_theory
As I understand it, critical theory was the earliest response to the revelation that Marxism always devolved into totalitarianism. It was an attempt to salvage the idea that society can be engineered. As much as they reject positivism, they seem to like the idea that they can “social science” their way to utopia.
It’s all progressive bull shit to me.
“…marxism always devolved into totalitarianism.”
“…salvage the idea that society can be engineered.”
What did they think marxism is if not an attempt to engineer society? Engineering society is a nice way of saying ‘coerce people into being the way we want them to be’; totalitarianism. It looks like a case of fish not knowing they are in water.
*That analogy about fish works fine as a way of illustrating a lack of awareness but it has a problem. It isnt true. If you dont believe that then go catch a fish, put him on the bank 5 feet from the water and watch what he does.
“…abstractions distinct from perceivable phenomena.”
Aaaaaaand right there the whole thing goes up in smoke. There is no such thing. Dig down and you find that our abstractions are built on a foundation of perceivable phenomena.
“Distinct from” doesn’t necessarily not mean “based on.” But at some point you want to take a leap to generality. Limiting oneself to perceivable phenomena isn’t sufficient to do so.
…..maybe? Anyway, I’m not convinced that there’s “no such thing”—nor convinced of the converse. At a certain point the most durable philosophy gets a big shrug from me. ‘Sure of the falsity of many propositions but unsure of the truth of any’…. or something.
[insert Gödel]
I miss Jack Horkheimer.
Dammit! I scrolled all the way down to make a Star Gazer reference and Ted S. already had it in the bag.
I get some satisfaction in the knowledge that these people will go through the rest of their lives being that stupid and unhappy. I’m not very nice I guess.
I don’t know if “unhappy” is really the right term. They get a masochistic pleasure from being outraged to the point where they’ll fake hate crimes and create concepts like “microaggressions” so that the outrage never stops. There can be no appeasement or victory: grievance is an end in and of itself.
See: Bigfoot believers creating hoax Bigfoot videos. The false flags are not just to get everyone else to believe, they are also trying to make themselves believe harder.
I work as a consultant. I have seen multiple men and women who are set in their SJW ways come and often times go. Some learn that they must be more of a value than a cost to our clients and they have grown and succeeded. Others try to get our clients to change their ways to meet the SJW norms. If the clients come to the company we will often try to counsel them on the ways of the real world. If they don’t respond, then these young “warriors” find out what term “at will employment” means.
A few months back I ran into one of these ex employees. Over a year after he was let go he was still nursing a grudge about how unfair it was that the world did not revolve around him. He had good technical skills but remains unhappy and underemployed and I expect this will remain the case.
I see those people as victims. I would be happy to shoot the balls off of those responsible for brainwashing them. What a waste of life and talent.
That would be a metric shit tonne of ammo. I don’t know if I can reload enough. I mean almost every teacher, many coaches, entire university staffs plus their assorted friends and relatives. Maybe if it is a small caliber .
Seriously Suthern. I am not sure what crises America would have to suffer before accepting changing our cultural norms among the key communicators. Plenty of “fly over” places and certain industries on the coasts value individuals with the self worth to accept the universe does not revolve among them. But among educrats, MSM and others they are so invested into the grievance industry I am not sure what will precipitate changes.
A minor point = doesn’t “Guest Contributor” normally have a name?

I made the mistake of reading the conversations below. *feeds self into woodchipper feet first*
Is that fourth panel Elizabeth Warren?
Her spirit-daughter.
Walks With Rage?
Aligns With Idiots.
Arches Brow With Condescension
That’s Mom, by the way
Smug, smarmy condescension is always annoying. It can also be funny, though, as when a prog is explaining something like ‘mansplaining’ without noticing the hypocracy.
Everybody knows beer makes you smart. I’ll be educating myself soon enough.
An excellent idea. I may partake of a lesson or two tonight.

no hat tip for me?
You were third to report it here.
Isn’t three supposed to be a special number?
A magic number
-1 Tootsie Roll Pop
It doesn’t take three to make a thing go right.
I did not click your link. You lost me at “other site”.
What are we supposed to do with all these woodchippers?!
We have an idea of how awful Preet was from the experience of one of our own. What I wonder, is how many other people we have never heard of did he screw ove>. The odds that chippergate was an isolated event are extremely low and inconsistent with the behavior required to excel as an US Attorney. Preet’s supervisor, the unlamented Ms Yates, was quoted as demanding a body because of the resources used in an investigation. Justice be damned, bring me my flesh. If that is how you move up as a USAttn. I imagine many people felt the lash of unjust prosecution.
The fact that he went after several rotten NY politicians is a mitigating factor when cosmic karma determines head or feet first into the ethereal woodchipper.
My hot take is that he is no better or worse than any of them. It is what they do.
I agree with your observation. That does not move me over his cosmic fate. People who wield the unlimited resources of the Fed state must remember that justice and not “get me a body” convictions protects the rights of the People of the USA. Abuse that trust and people will remember the only right in the Declaration of Independence that is mentioned twice and spoke of as a duty.
What are the odds preet and assorted other flying monkeys are busily drafting articles of impeachment?
What i find odd about the left’s current fascination with impeachment as the “solution” to a Trump presidency…. is that it requires a republican congress to go along with the idea.
They seem to think the Emoluments Clause is the slam-dunk case
(from “impeach donald trump (dot) com”)
How Clinton managed to be secretary of state while the Clinton Foundation continued to operate remains a mystery.
I find it funny when principaled people start invoking principle. They think we dont notice because the truth of it is they cant tell the difference themselves; they think there is nothing to notice.
Felling terrible from this cold I can’t shake, but happy to see the news of Preet’s firing. Also found this little gem of progressive insanity that had me laughing. It is almost Onion level parody, but he really is serious.

Game over man, GAME OVER!
‘We’re gonna leave alone the shit out of you!”
Oh shut up, Mark.

What could be making Americans so paranoid?
DRINK THROUGH IT
Ha! Excellent advice that I may have to take up. A hot whisky is medicinal…
It’s good to get your mental illness out into the open like that. Maybe now he can get the help he needs.
This columnist started the term, “Lightworker”in non ironic reference to Obama. The mind boggles.
I had to go and find the exact phrasing he used. Hilarious. This deranged individual has has a column now for over 15 years with the SF Chron and/or its online version.
“Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment.”
Wow, that is world class fucking retarded.
“the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet”
You mean the ability to shove shit people don’t want down their throats like a tin pot dictator?
yeah, it’s funny how much the new way of being on the planet looks just like the old way of leftist authoritarianism.
Jeebus the derp is deep in and around Mark. If this is worst time for humanity in history then how did anybody deal with these strains in the last 100 years: The Cold War, World War II, the Great Depression, the Spanish Flue, World War I, the Russian Revolution and its aftermath, Pol Pot’s genocide, Rwandan genocide, Stalin’s genocides, Mao’s genocides, Armenian genocide, various Balkan wars, multiple famines, and cancelling Wide World of Sports?
And his “spiritual” version of “religious” is completely OK, while traditionally Christian “religious” (because I doubt this guy would call Muslims “coweringly religious”) is completely awful.
Whiney little pussies.
This same columnist penned the following previous stories =
I’m starting to think there’s a trend here, but i can’t quite say what it is.
“Trump’s Election Causing Killer Asteroid to Head Toward Earth, Can the Lightbringer Save Us?” NYT, SFCh, WaPo tomorrow
I suppose there’s always the possibility he just pens that stuff because it’s what the readers of that outlet expect.
Those are indeed idiotic articles
but have never looked better in such a fine bullet pointed list

Damn, how do you do bullet points?

Giving it a tryHope it works
Yeah, didn’t work.
They seem to think the Emoluments Clause is the slam-dunk case
They’re quite enamored of the 25th Amendment, as well. Nicholas Kristof wrote a column in the NYT a few weeks ago which was an open plea for a coup, by Mike Pence and the Congress. Strange to tell, the Usurpation remains on hold.
The Occupy Wall Street guy looks exactly like a three-year-old crying for his toy.
Yeah, except my daughters at three were a lot more mature and mentally tougher than that guy. I remember when dudes would be ashamed to act like a giant pussy.
I would really love to see Polanski extradited if for no other reason than to watch what happens when the Hollywood left comes out to defend him after the SJWs went after Milo for much less.

Whoopi will whip out ‘it wasn’t ‘rape- rape’.
Qualuudes, Hot Tubs, and 13-year-olds. I mean it’s just a little innocent fun. He’s an artist you know. It’s all very different.
He raped a 13 year old in the ass, but it was for a good cause.
I look forward to those cunty celebrity videos defending the piece of shit.
She was probably just some white trash bimbo. Why are Republicans always so uptight about sex. ~ Joy Behar
Now THERE’S some piece of work. She’s the poster retard for the ‘unthink.’
I feel like you’re all judging me.
Polanski had the resources to get away with it.
Do 13 year olds go for the free candy gambit?

To be fair, it was the 1970s.
Ah yes, the 1970s
So… He should have gone to jail in the 1970s. Before the… lists.
Lawyer fail.
RE that link you posted last page. The one Sloopy responded to, and then someone linked him to Derps article. I would go back and pull quotes from the fuck chops reply, but I don’t want to give him another click. I am not sure I have words for how much his reply pisses me off. It is ass hats like that who have never made anything with their hands that other people will spend gob load sums of money to purchase that are the ones who think it is ok to give the so called “rich” a reason to not purchase your work due to a “luxury tax”. Fuck that guy and everyone who thinks like him.
His responses were the standard smug prog rubbish.
The smug is strong with that dude.
Well, he has read my “article” a dozen times already…
Maybe he recognizes the people being interviewed.
“standard smug prog rubbish.”
Exactly.
“But why else is it fair that I make more money because I was born smart? Personally, I think I should make less money since my brain is my favorite toy. I wrote a little about this recently, American Libertarianism Is Fascism-Friendly.”
Umm, I’m pretty sure you can go to your boss and ask for a pay cut. And, if that’s not possible, you could give away more money than what you do now.
What the hell does rewarding merit have to do with fascism?
Previous sentences: “I’m in favor of progressive taxation because humans are social animals and one person’s success is not theirs alone. All this talk of “punishing success” is just the modern version of eugenics. Sure, no one talks about it that way because of the Nazis.”
In his original post, “American Libertarianism is Fascism-Friendly” is a link to another one of his articles.
Of course he also argues/states that conservatism and libertarianism are the same thing.
So he’s retarded. I understand now.
The interesting bit is that he wasn’t born that way, he has had to work, probably rather diligently, to make himself into what he now is.
“I’m pretty sure you can go to your boss and ask for a pay cut. And, if that’s not possible, you could give away more money than what you do now.”
But he want’s to force everyone to do that. Preferably at gunpoint.
I’m putting this here because I don’t like posting in dead threads. In the video, some idiot tries convince Milton Friedman that raising taxes is good because it forces people to work harder.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hrg1CArkuNc
They are only dead because people don’t continue to post in them. Nice job perpetuating the problem, jerk.
Oh like you wouldn’t have called him a jerk if he posted that in the dead thread, At least I hope you would have.
I’d post a witty rejoinder but i’m afraid this thread might be dead by then.
Until the links drop, this thread can’t die!
There’re links?! You guys are putting up entirely too much weekend content.

I think the idea some people have about money being wealth as opposed to goods and services produced being wealth is a major source of confusion when they talk about economics and particularly government spending. The Same fallacy behind Krugnut’s alien invasion. Just another manifestation of the broken window fallacy.

The Soviets also had some very good strategy for reducing calorie consumption for whole communities.
Taxes are inefficient.
They rarely lead to desired outcomes.
Just don’t tell Frank.
I need my mommy! Tax me mommy! Make me behave!
I don’t drink soda, and I could stand to lose some weight.
What would you like us to tax for you?
Everyone on your best behaviour. Frank is reading!
I’m afraid our “Best” is unflattering.
As long as you do your best it’s all we can ask.
Frank?
Frank Zappa is always watching
And he “Moved to Montana” to raise him some dental floss. I heard his ranch was near Billings. That’s the rumor anyways.
Frank’s the guy we’ve been referencing above trashing libertarians.

To be fair, she probably doesn’t remember the late aughts all that well.
or anything. I think she died in the mid-nineties.
Well, she’s right. Unfortunately for her that she’s also a hypocrite that nobody will take seriously.
If Team Blue were smart, they’d have trotted out somebody that wasn’t around in 2009 and had him/her/xer say it and follow it up with “I wasn’t around in 2009 but would have said the same thing then as I’m saying now. Just because my party made a mistake then doesn’t mean we should make another one now.”
Good one.
Like those words could pass the lips of any party leader (without their head quivering, swelling and then exploding).
I don’t think there ARE many Democrats around today who weren’t around in 2009. They’ve basically had their balls handed to them recently.

Ok. I am pretty sure I know what a basketball looks like. I will get in on this. What is the NCAA though?
Hey, BP, one of the best things here on Glibertarians. Please continue, this, it’s hilarious.
Thanks, it’s much appreciated. this is something I did after it became clear that Obama wasn’t going to fulfill his promises regarding transparency, etc. a few months into power. It was originally at Urkobold, which was meant as more of a companion site than a replacement, but then the writers weren’t as bad as now.
Regarding H&R.
I agree with Hyperion, keep at it.
Do you want people to point out typos or not? I am unable to not-see them.
