If you’re currently visiting the UK, consider leaving, quick. If you’re planning a trip, consider canceling it. It’s not a safe country. Hasn’t been for decades. And things might get a little rough over there in the coming days.
British politician Rupert Lowe has just published The Rape Gang Inquiry Report.
I didn’t read it, yet. But I did become aware of some of the data points. That alone had me depressed to the point that I didn’t want to do much of anything.
As many as 250,000 British girls were victimized. And that’s a conservative estimate. I was aware of the grooming gangs. I wasn’t aware that they were so pervasive.
The offenders were predominantly Muslim, and were heavily Pakistani. Around 90% of offenders were Muslim.
Law enforcement was lax in dealing with the problem, because they were afraid of being called ‘racist’. Social workers who reported abuses faced retaliation, from the state itself.
And there’s more. Much more. Just going by what I’ve heard, it just gets worse and worse.
I think that the UK is likely to riot. That’s one of the reasons why I say that the country isn’t safe. The Henry Nowak demonstrations are likely to be small compared to what’s to come.
The other reason why I say that the UK isn’t safe is because it’s own police force and government has been looking the other way as criminal migrants have been raping hundreds of thousands of their own daughters, and it’s been going on for decades. Does that sound like a safe place to be?
If the British aren’t angry at their own government, I’d lose a lot of respect for them.
In light of the guilty verdict of Vikrum Digwa, there has been interest in the release of the bodycam footage of the wrongful arrest of Henry Nowak.
Be ready to hear the British teen’s name a lot more. Because it’s worse than we thought. Much worse.
If one were to hear the events of the footage described to them, a person might think that they were hearing the plot of a Monty Python skit. A difference being that Monty Python would not have been so crass.
A British teenager had been stabbed multiple times by a Sikh, who was permitted to carry a blade contrary to British law by reason of religious exemption.
The Sikh and his family then called the police, and lied to them about the teen saying something racially insensitive about them, knowing that this was just what they had to say to get the police to side with them. The police, being hyper-trained to over-respond to racism, exhibited a callous disregard for the teen that was bleeding to death, expressing disbelief that the teen had been stabbed, even as he pleaded for help.
The police then cuffed the teen, even as the color drained from his hands due to blood loss, and the last words that he heard were his rights recited to him by a callously indifferent officer.
As though it couldn’t get any worse, outside the bodycam footage, the Sikh tortured and taunted the teen for 10 minutes, in recording that was so disturbing that it was not played in court. This was all over the teen asking whether the Sikh was a “bad man”, because he was carrying a knife contrary to British law, while being recorded. The teen had no idea that his close encounter with a different culture would play out with that culture proving just how incompatible it is with the civilized world.
The Sikh murderer and liar was eventually arrested for his crime, by the way. But he was not cuffed during his arrest. It might even be that the killer was not cuffed, at all. In fact, the killer and sadistic tormentor was allowed to get something to eat by the arresting officers, before he was taken to the station.
I did manage to learn some history, in spite of the efforts of the education system. Going on what I had learned, an event like this is absolutely unprecedented. Unless you can tell me of one point in history where an authority figure expressed such misplaced outgroup empathy that favored an invasive ethnic group at the expense of an indigenous person, with the authority figure belonging to the same indigenous group.
As far as I know, such treachery is absolutely unheard of.
In light of this travesty, the people of the UK started to protest, and they started to riot. Yes, really. Caucasian people actually found their nerve. During these events, among the slogans chanted by the demonstrators was “I can’t breathe”, which was among Henry Nowak’s last words.
If those words sound familiar, that’s because they were also among the last words of George Floyd, a drug addict who died of a drug overdose while being arrested for attempting to buy a banana with a counterfeit $20 bill. In spite of the exonerating evidence, the arresting officer continues to serve a prison sentence for the death of the drug addict, all because the legal hold he used looked mean.
The death of George Floyd resulted in riots across the US. But if the rioters were being completely honest, they did not care about George Floyd, they simply used a popular lie about his death as a pretext for the mayhem that they had an appetite for.
And for leftists the world over, it was a pretext for the performative self-flagellation that they themselves have an appetite for. Even those as far away as the UK took a knee in honor of the fallen career criminal.
During the demonstrations for Henry Nowak, the protestors demanded that the officers present take a knee for Nowak, just as officers had done for career criminal George Floyd. They did not do that. But what officers did do was attack protestors, which should not be a surprise, because attacking their own people is what they have been trained to do.
If one were to ask me what I think might happen next, I’d be honestly surprised that anyone would care, for one thing. If my prescience were better, I would have made some different choices.
But, to be honest, I really don’t know. Not only was the arrest footage bafflingly worse than I could have anticipated, it’s also a bit of a surprise that the British reacted as angrily as they did.
Because, when it comes down to it, they, like whites in general, are way too nice. The British are highly civilized. And when people are highly civil, less civilized people will view that as an invitation to push the limits of what they can get away with.
It’s an interesting thing that the British authorities have betrayed their own people in favor of foreign invaders, because the British used to punish treason as a capital offense. And it makes sense why they did. After all, if a person’s heart turned towards the destruction of their own people, whom they should naturally have affection for, then they have become so warped and defective that there is no expectation that they could ever be rehabilitated. What could society be expected to do with such a person? What value could come from a person so bereft of virtue?
But now, it would seem as though the British system has turned against the British people. It would seem as though the solution would be a reworking of British policing, which would ideally be performed in a non-belligerent manner. But with people as angry as they are, it might not happen that way. As civil as the British are, it would seem that they may have reached a breaking point.
Like I said, the British are civil, to the point that other people are too comfortable with pushing them to their limits. The dangerous thing about that is that, when it comes to nice people, those limits are not clearly defined, and when exceeded, the backlash tends to be intense.
“She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” Galindo wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend, referring to herself in the third person. “It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists.”
When someone says that that’s her intended policy, go ahead and believe her, because most people who fantasize about such things would usually keep it to themselves.
It’s already a massive red flag that a politician declares her policy positions via Instagram. And the fact that she refers to herself in the third person is characteristic of a random lunatic who raves at random pedestrians in a city square.
But all that is eclipsed by the fact that she wants to repurpose a government building into a concentration camp for imprisoning enforcers of immigration law, and those who believe Jews should have their own little country, while falsely accusing them of pedophilia as a pretext for having them neutered.
That sounds like the kind of thing that a shrill, college-aged leftist would pretend that Trump said, because they want to make him look as bad as possible, and has no motherfucking idea how to pull their punches to make a lie sound remotely believable.
But Maureen Galindo, a Democrat running for Congress, said it as her own policy position.
Over the past week, Galindo has accused her runoff opponent — former Bexar County Public Information Officer Johnny Garcia — of participating in a human trafficking conspiracy orchestrated by billionaire zionist Jews.
She crazy. That’s end-stage TikTok brain rot. That’s the kind of shit where, once you believe it, the belief itself configures prions into your brain, and it’s just a matter of time until you lose all motor function, and die due to inability to sleep.
Even so, in comments to the Current and other media outlets, Galindo maintained she only has an issue with zionists, or those advocating for the existence of a Jewish state in their ancestral homeland, rather than Jews in general.
There it is. The classic leftist equivocation. This time, she’s trying to avoid being branded as “antisemitic”, because that’s a word which sounds bad, and is only for use against bad people. So she explains that she opposes something that Jews generally happen to desire. Then, when she does go after the Jews she hates, she can make the claim of not actually hating them.
If anyone falls for that, the world must be a confusing place for them.
Indeed, mainstream Democrats have drifted away from Galindo as she ramped up her rhetoric.
Please do. Because damn.
To give you an idea of just how far Maureen Galindo has gone, consider the fact that AOC thinks she has taken it too far:
This is absolutely disgusting.
This bigoted garbage and antisemitism should be nowhere near our politics.
Twenty-seven percent. That’s the percentage of Democrats who, when presented with an opportunity to vote for Maureen Galindo, decided to do so.
I’ve pointed out before that as leftists continue to lose the culture war, some of them will feel threatened, particularly the dead-enders who invested too much into their political ideology, and that they may interpret the changing flow of the era as a threat to respond to with violence.
The fact that the left is becoming increasingly extreme in their violence and their rhetoric goes to show that they’re not handling losing well.
Now, there’s a leftist running for office who is openly calling for a concentration camp with compulsory sterilization. And while it’s true that she’s being condemned, even within her own party, what’s concerning is that her rhetoric is not instantly disqualifying, and that she could come away with as much as 27% of her party’s vote where she was on the ballot, which is way too much.
There’s another gaming controversy involving game journalists, which is being treated as yet another attempt to relive GamerGate.
And while the GamerGate days may be fond memories for some people, if we’re being completely honest here, game journalists just aren’t taken seriously by anyone, anymore. They burned any trust that they had in the original GamerGate by siding against gamers themselves. And prior to that, they’ve long had the problem of pandering to advertisers.
In this connected age, when it comes to game opinions, people trust their peers more than game journos. I’d rather hear the opinions of my peers, whom I can relate to, rather than those of professional journalists who are acting on obvious incentives, and therefore cannot be trusted to be genuine.
But if I can thank game journalists for just one thing, it’s for demonstrating to many millions of gamers exactly why they cannot trust the press. They’ve played an unwitting role in the “gamer to right-wing pipeline”. And they’ve done it well.
Before moving on to what I see as the real problem, I’ll first acknowledge the current controversy. A droll nostalgia game has gotten a suspiciously high number of perfect review scores from various publications, in spite of the fact that gamers themselves aren’t impressed with it.
The game is called Mixtape, and it stars teenagers in a pseudo-90s cultural environment. I’ve heard that it largely attempts to pander to a sense of nostalgia, but instead alienates players who actually were teenagers during that same era. The gameplay, from what I’ve heard, makes the game sound like a movie with interactive segments, those being minigames with a lack of fail-states.
I didn’t play it, and I’m not interested.
The game sounds insipid, and demeaning to true 90s kids. But for some reason, one gaming publication after another has given the pile a perfect score. Scores which, by the way, are usually reserved for games considered revolutionary, or masterpieces.
But, I didn’t care. And I wouldn’t have even noticed what game journalists were up to, if my own peers didn’t point it out.
At this point, it’s taken for granted that game journalists are trash. It is what it is.
As I see it, the real problem that game communities face is clout farmers.
If you’re wondering what a clout farmer is, that would be someone who trashes on something on social media, with the intention of drawing attention to themselves. Such a person tends to manifest in gaming communities as someone who continually dumps on a game, usually a new or popular installment of a franchise, in an attempt to seem smart or discerning with how negative they could be about the game in question.
The low-IQ among us tends to leave likes on the edgy thing that shits on something people like. But if you were to visit the clout farmer’s profile, you’d find one post after another, shitting on fun games that people like. It’s quite possible that they don’t like anything. Or maybe they do. I certainly don’t want to scroll through an entire account’s raw sewage just to see whether they can say anything positive about anything.
If you call them out on it, they’ll just accuse you of being on some kind of “toxic positivity” brigade, because they don’t like when people like things.
This has gotten to be an issue within the Pokémon community, to the point that those who actually play the game have said that they enjoy the games more when they don’t interact with the community. If the clout farmers were actually trolls out to destroy the community, this would mean that they’re succeeding.
But we have a weapon, and it’s been in our hands, the whole time: you block the bullshitters.
If an obvious clout farmer appears on your feed, here’s what you do (on X):
Click the vertical ellipses in the upper-right corner of their post,
Then, click the option to mute their account. You may be asked to confirm.
That’s it. Repeat as more obvious clout farmers appear. Then, enjoy your improved fandom!
While it’s true that game journos are still adversarial towards the very people they claim to write for, people today generally know to ignore them. Case in point: They’re insistent that GamerGate was a misogynistic harassment campaign, but there’s a strong likelihood that you know that that’s not the case.
The reason why clout farmers are the bigger issue is that they’re a problem particular to social media, which is still relatively new. And because gamers still haven’t universally learned to recognize and deal with them, clout farmers still succeed in infiltrating and dragging down gaming communities.
But now that you know how to eliminate them from your feed, you can do your part to reduce their influence. After all, it’s attention they seek, and you can deny them yours.
It can be called a switch, if you want. But it was really just a matter of time.
A mosque in San Diego was attacked by two gunmen. Five are confirmed dead, including one of the Mosque’s security personnel, and both gunmen. The gunmen were in their teens, they apparently ended their own lives, and it would seem the attack was racially motivated, judging by materials left by the gunmen.
I’m ready for this to be all that we hear about from the Islamic world for the next couple decades. They can’t take it anywhere close to how they dish it out.
The Islamic world is famous for its sectarian violence, whether it Muslims versus other religions, or it’s Muslims against other Muslims which they consider infidels over a microscopic difference in doctrine.
It’s gotten to the point that Muslims are the most distrusted group in the civilized world. And that’s a dubious honor that’s well earned, what with Muslims going on shooting rampages, driving cars into Christmas markets, executing African Christians, suicide bombing bus stations, committing random knife attacks, hijacking planes for use as projectiles, raping women and children when presented with the opportunity…
…and on, and on, and on…
…All while acting as though they’re better than everyone else, and entitled to everything, including the land in which they are guests.
If anyone or any group is going to be a constant belligerent, it’s to be expected that they’ll come to find pushback.
Muslims need to realize that their religion isn’t worth surrendering their souls to. Islam drains the joy out of life, and for all that trouble, it can’t truly offer salvation, anyway.
Christianity is far superior. Not only does it offer a more joyful life, Christians actually get saved. All of them.
And if Muslims are finally going to start facing what they’ve been continually dishing out, then that’s all the more reason to leave Muhammad’s religion in the dustbin.
Besides, Muhammad predicted that a day of doom would occur within 500 years of his death. It’s been over 1400 years. What are Muslims clinging to?
Your imagination likely went to one of two places: cartoons of Muhammad, or drawings of naked people. It’s the latter.
UK based V-Tuber Mimi Yanagi issued a public statement on X, letting her following know that she was out on bail after having been arrested for possession of her own drawings. Her electronic devices were seized, including the ones she used as a professional V-Tuber. What’s more, as per her bail conditions, she was to use an approved handle, may only post SFW content, and must be transparent with her content.
Because it’s British police we’re talking about here, I don’t feel inclined to give the benefit of the doubt. They probably saw an opportunity to score some sweet loot, and Mimi is probably not going to see it again.
“A Go Pro? Little Harry always wanted to be a streamer! A £3500 gaming rig? Guess who’s not spending on Christmas presents this year? LED illuminated mouse and keyboard? Yoink! Why’d she have two monitors? Now she’s got naught!”
Allegedly, the drawings contained characters which Mimi herself imagined, had the appearance of being childlike, and were of the rule 34 variety. In the UK, such images are illegal to produce, distribute, or even possess, even if the characters depicted are clearly fictitious.
This is one of those matters where, if you have a free speech perspective, you choose your words with care if you’re trying to avoid looking like some kind of creep. But considering that the whole matter was victimless, to arrest anyone over it is silly. Even if the art in question inspires an ick vibe for most people, it’s still just drawings.
But there’s an irony to this that can be pointed out. And you probably know what it is.
The UK has a problem with migrant Islamic rape gangs. And British police have infamously been looking the other way, for fear of being called racist.
In the graphic below, two are pictured. One traumatized a real-life British 12-year-old. The other drew pictures for herself and perhaps for other adults who were minding their own business in their own homes.
Can you guess which one got off without consequences, and which one got the legal equivalent of a spear tackle followed by a jackhammer slam?
If the UK wants anyone to take them seriously, they’d leave the poor woman be, and give her back all her devices. She harmed no one.
Then, they’d go after all the Islamic migrants who actually are victimizing little girls. Based on their behavior, one might think British police care more about the non-existent plight of fictional girls, than that of real girls from among their own people.
Normally, when I comment on this sort of thing, I start off with the facts of the case, then go on a little rant. This time, I’m going to flip matters on its head, and start with a rant, then I’ll get into the story.
I’m getting sick of seeing people on my side of the culture war black-pilling just because their enemies have a plan, and the first steps have already been taken.
This is even the case when it comes to Islamic migrants, whose plan largely comes down to, “We’re going to walk right in, rape out of control, your government is going to give us housing and your money, then we’re going to implement Sharia law so your freedoms go bye bye and this becomes yet another graceless Islamic theocracy.”
Then the blackpillers collectively throw their hands up, as though the only expectation is that everyone who might otherwise resist will just get one one side and just take it up the wazoo.
The fact is, the idea of one’s own country turning into a place where their own daughters cannot safely walk down the street is not something that most people would be willing to tolerate. And when they find out that that’s what’s going on, they’re going to fight back, and they’re not going to give a shit whether anyone calls them racist.
There will be a time that the UK can look back on as the turning point, the point in time in which Brits can agree is when they’ve decided that they’re done being abused by migrants, the corrupt ruling class, and the TikTok-brained and their threats of calling them racist.
This story would be that turning point.
The irony is, the offender in this story wouldn’t be a Muslim. It would be a Sikh. But he still suffices as a figure for cultural incompatibility.
While the murder is already sickening, the very fact that the murder was carried out using a religious implement could be more ironic. But, it gets worse.
While the murder was being carried out, the murderer, Vickrum Digwa, shouted “racism”.
Between the stabbing and the allegation of racism, can you guess which one British police responded to?
Too easy. The police cuffed the boy who was stabbed, even as he was bleeding out as a result of the attack. The killer’s mother took the weapon home with her. The 18-year-old died in police custody.
Yeah. That actually happened.
British police are already famously unreliable when it comes to any complaint of violence on the part of a minority. But they are aggressive in their pursuit of social media and speech wrongthink. It’s gotten to the point where the UK has received the dubious honor of being the global leader in arrests for online comments, greatly surpassing China and Russia.
The British have evidently become tired of the way things have been trending, as evidenced by the fact that the new right-wing Reform party has swept the recent British election, beating out all other parties, including the established Labor party, which lost seats. They also soundly defeated a new green party which pandered to constituents more sympathetic to Islam.
In fact, I’ve never seen a new party win as convincingly as the new Reform party. And they might perform even better, now that Brits are coming to realize that they’re not alone in their own country.
British police may be a farce, and some people may blackpill over that. But it’s not over until it’s over.
It’s only been days since the last attempt on the president’s life, bringing the count up to about 3 or 4, and we already have yet another spaz issuing threats to a Republican lawmaker, his family, and the president.
An Allegheny County man is accused of threatening to kill President Donald Trump and a member of Congress.
They identify him as Raymond Chandler. But they left out an important detail: he’s a Pennsylvania Democrat running for Senate!
Now, why would they leave out something like that? Why did WPXI deem that to be extraneous information, in this political climate?
Here’s Raymond Chandler, pictured below:
Oh, sorry. That’s not him. My bad. Here’s the real Raymond Chandler:
The guy looks like he’s only a viking helmet away from stealing the Ox King’s look. But while he marketed himself as a wholesome guy wearing a bow tie and suspenders, there’s a dark side behind this carefully manufactured persona.
Courtesy of The Gateway Pundit, here is a message that he sent to a member of Congress:
“Sir, I have, uh, I’m calling this morning ’cause I want you to imagine a scenario. I want you to imagine a scenario where all the 1,200 billionaires in this country, all their properties, are surrounded simultaneously by a thousand people.”
“So imagine your house, your daughter’s house, everyone you know and love who is also rich. Imagine every single one of those homes being surrounded by a thousand people.”
“Then imagine them all getting a text and then, then suddenly taking out their pocket knives, walking slowly towards your house with 10, you got your 10 guards or whatever against a thousand people, and then they come and they pull you out of your house and they slit your throat and they slit your daughter’s throat and they slit everyone’s throat. That you know, sir, that is the future…”
This comes off as a sick fantasy that a middle schooler would have if they were dumb enough to take Hasan Piker seriously. It’s also characterized by the kind of equivocation that is a hallmark of leftist thought. Like the mafia member who says “it would be a shame if something happened to your store” in an effort to extort protection money, Raymond could attempt to say that it wasn’t him specifically who would be behind the hypothetical attack.
To understand equivocation goes a long way in understanding how leftists communicate.
Chandler’s motivation was that “wealth concentration has gotten so bad in this country,”. A country in which, by the way, nearly every resident has climate control, emergency healthcare, refrigeration, electricity, a connection to the summation of human knowledge, supplemental food assistance, access to vehicular transportation, unlimited free entertainment, and in nearly every respect lives a better lifestyle than a king would have centuries ago.
Some people are simply envious. No matter how well they have it, they will always want more.
Chandler left a voicemail for a congressman, stating a desire for the congressman to assassinate the president. While this is in a cruder form, it’s yet another expression of how leftists use telecommunications to attempt to influence other people into doing things.
So much for the wholesome image that Raymond was going for.
He also said that the president is “a liar among all liars. He’s a great deceiver. He’s the antichrist,”. He was going for it with the religious-flavored language. Which often means that someone needs to calm down.
Considering this, and the recent uptick in left-wing violence, there’s something that I’ve been thinking about. I suspect that if Trump ran against Hitler, leftists would have voted for Hitler.
That might sound preposterous. But suppose that Hitler had his name and appearance changed. The only thing that would remain the same would be Hitler’s policy positions. Under these conditions, it becomes more reasonable to expect leftists to vote for the Socialist leader.
There is a certain risk that we become increasingly desensitized by the continual bullshittery. But as things like this occur over and over again, it’s not a bad idea to remind ourselves that events like this are still newsworthy.
Just over this weekend, some leftist piece of work bum rushed the White House Correspondence’s Dinner, firing off, and only managing to hit one officer, who is expected to make a quick and full recovery by reason of the bulletproof vest that he was wearing.
Pictured above is Cole Allen, a California school teacher who viewed it as his duty to carry out the brazen attack. And thanks to New York Post, we have his manifesto to tell us just how senseless he really was.
You can follow the link to read the full manifesto. I just wanted to comment on a few things about it.
I could be more surprised than I am that something so dimwitted could be written by a California school teacher. But by the time I got through it, I had the idea that perhaps he got his education through continual hand-ups just for looking different and playing the victim at strategic points, and that doing so didn’t do society any favors.
For one thing, he opens with the confession that what he was about to do was going to upset and disappoint a lot of people who know him personally. That should have been taken by Cole himself to indicate that what he intended to do was a bad idea, and that he shouldn’t have gone through with it. Many such things would have indicated as much, but considering that manifestos from infamous criminals usually indicate that they tend to view themselves as heroes, Cole’s manifesto stands out for its confession of the foolishness of his planned crime, but rather than elect to not disappoint and upset everyone around him, Cole attempted murder.
Cole Allen’s next failure of intellect is his presumption of collective guilt, which is against the principles of justice in Christianity and the United States. Which goes to show that he did not allow the surrounding culture to impart its virtue upon him.
The fact is, no one bears the guilt for anyone else’s crime. Not only does Christianity recognize this, and informs how the United States handles justice, collective guilt is a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a fact that one would expect one to comprehend if they were employed in academia.
But it gets worse. Because the very charge that he levies is bullshit:
“And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”
Like anyone else who believes such things about Trump, Cole Allen is gullible and intellectually defective. But not everyone who peddles such untreated sewage actually believes it. As I often say, much of the internet is people trying to get other people to do things.
When someone wants something done, but doesn’t want to get their own hands dirty, they try to get other people wound up, so that they do it, instead.
It’s easy to see where Cole Allen was in that relationship.
Cole continued on by outlining his priority of targets, at the top of which were administration officials, followed by anyone who would act to protect them. At this point, it should already be clear that Cole was motivated by political ideology. But I still expect the usual suspects to disingenuously pretend that they have no idea what could have possibly motivated the latest in a long string of violent leftists.
After this, Cole listed some anticipated objections to his planned crime, followed by his own rebuttals to these objections. These largely come down to building up strawmen, so he could then tear them down. A couple of the points he attempted to make indicated a certain disrespect towards Christianity, which isn’t a surprise, as indicated by his application of his belief in collective guilt.
A more intelligent person would have immediately understood the fallacies that Cole employed, and understood that such misguided reasoning was certainly not worth attempting murder over. That Cole Allen became a school teacher would seem an anomaly. But that there’s something wrong with California’s public education system doesn’t defy the imagination.
Based on everything I’ve read in the manifesto so far, it wouldn’t surprise me if Cole Allen had the early stages of kuru or some other neurodegenerative disease. His manifesto, and his attempted crime, don’t seem consistent with what one would expect from a school teacher.
Cole published his manifesto shortly before the attempted assassination. Just before doing so, Cole added a post script, in which he boasted about how far he had gotten with his plan, which he attributed to failures on the parts of security. Ultimately, the greatest failures were with him. But it can still be amusing to see how a known failure had taken a misguided comfort in his own illusory superiority.
More details about the failure that is Cole Allen are coming to light. As this happens, I would like to offer speculation as to what might have contributed to Cole Allen’s decision to attempt to assassinate administration officials.
I suspect that he was facing personal struggles. And some of them are likely to have been a consequence of taking on challenges that he was either unprepared or unsuited for.
Being a minority in California, Cole Allen was in an excellent environment for appealing with his minority status to acquire opportunities. What’s more, whenever he was at risk of failure, he could easily leverage victimhood status to acquire what he wants through pity. With numerous Californian educators not wanting to take the risk of being branded a racist, even if falsely, it’s easy to imagine that Cole could navigate the Californian education system with the social tools at his disposal.
However, if a school system graduates a student who’s not really prepared for employment, they’re not really doing that student a favor. However long one may kick the can down the road, there will come a time when a person must contribute real value, or else just give up.
Even if Cole had value to contribute, it remains that life is often not easy, even for those with substantial intelligence. The fact is, we all have struggles. That’s a fact of life.
For those with an external locus of control, as Cole Allen apparently did, it’s easy to blame other people for their problems. Student loan debt? It’s probably because the system took advantage of you in some way. Rent too high? It’s probably because the landlord is being greedy. In bad health? It’s the food industry’s fault for making unhealthy food so accessible. Those with an external locus of control tend to struggle more with their problems because they tend to ignore where they have some amount of control.
And they tend to view themselves as victims. And following this reasoning to extremes, they may lash out at the people that they view as victimizing them, even if they seek some other justification. For example, trying to become a hero for other people.
Cole Allen was probably facing a failure that he had no apparent options for avoiding. His teaching award was evidently a sham. He probably couldn’t measure up to other teachers in a true meritocratic environment. He certainly wasn’t a success as a game designer.
Derp.
But rather than fail in the way that was foreseeable, he decided to fail in his own way: by going down in flames. But while he certainly did, it didn’t happen the way he might have wanted.
We have another special one. And this time, a lawyer who is a literal woman with a beard went on a full-on crashout in a courtroom.
Caught on camera:
Trans-identified female lawyer berates judge, pulls trans card, gets found in contempt, resists arrest, screams “I can’t breathe,” and yells for people to call 911 as she’s fighting police.
Commenters were quick to say that a woman taking testosterone led to the crash out. That’s plausible, as many people who turn trans end up taking hormones that have an effect on their behavior.
As an aside, if it turns out that there is some kinda parasite that causes people to turn trans, I thought of a name for it: parasite Steve.
If you get the reference, great.
Some highlights:
Let’s hear it for the man who baited the lawyer, causing her to sperg out, thus ending her career. Yup. The woman shortly after closed her law office:
Wow, that’s her banner? I’d be embarrassed to hire her.
Like many people who get their worldview from TV, she seemed to assume that being male means acting like a hot-headed fuckbelch. She seemed to miss that real men control their passions, rather than be controlled by them.
Imagine being the guy who legally pushes a lawyer to the point that she destroys her own career. You don’t have to deserve what you drink, but it does make it taste better. And in his case, whatever he drank to celebrate had to have tasted great.
And that look on his face tells me that he knew exactly what he’s done.
Absolute legend.
Another highlight would be where the woman brought the fact that she’s trans into it, entirely unprompted, for no reason other than that she perceived some advantage to be had in doing so.
And what’s more, she demanded female officers when she was being arrested. Perhaps because she had less expectation that they could successfully subdue her. Or it could be that she was doing whatever she could to make things difficult, equivocating between her declared and her actual gender depending on the perceived advantage. As much as I might like to imagine that the woman had a stressed-induced reboot to a previous software version.
One point that I’d like to make is that, to contradict what some people are saying, it is true that a person can still speak, even to the point of calling out for help, when their respiration is not sufficient to sustain life. The whole “if you can talk you can breathe” deal is a myth which needs to be put to rest. Hopkins sounded like a dumbass, don’t you go sounding like one, too.
But whatever you said today, it probably wasn’t nearly as stupid as Hopkins’ career-ending crashout.
The fact is, we live in a world with selection pressures. When there’s a lot at stake, no one is obligated to humor someone else’s delusion. Reality doesn’t concern itself with who it pulverizes underfoot in its inexorable march, not does it even slightly slow down.
