People don’t seem to comprehend just how significant it is that the hippie generation is about to pass away.

Leave a reply

Yesterday, when commenting on the makeup of the No Kings protest, I pointed out how the vast majority of those in attendance are aging boomers who are just a few years away from not voting anymore.

Since then, I got to thinking about why people joined the hippies, and why people go furry or trans, and as one thought led to another, I began seeing connections, and they seemed to hold up well when considering matters in the broad strokes of recent history.

The recent shooter of Charlie Kirk didn’t surprise anyone when it turned out that he was a leftist. But what was surprising is that he came from a Mormon family, though he turned against his family’s viewpoints, turning hard towards the left. What’s more, he was at least adjacent to the furry community, and was in a homosexual relationship.

Traditional thinking goes that people who are raised in a religious household will maintain said household’s religious beliefs into their adulthood. But in many cases, such as the case of Bulge Rat (Tyler Robinson), they turn against the culture they were raised in.

If you were to study certain communities, such as the trans community and other left-wing communities, you may notice an unusual number of people who grew up in religious households. And, not only that, the households tended to be strict to the point of suffocating the child’s individuality.

For example, Jews can be heavily legalistic, to the point that some refuse to keep beef and cheese in the same refrigerator. The Mormons tend to be strict in their own way. They tend to stock up on non-perishible food, in case the end-time tribulation were to begin tomorrow. I’ve heard of kids who weren’t allowed to watch cartoons or play sports during the Sabbath.

When these kids become old enough to decide for themselves, they often tend towards communities that permit them to express their individualities, sometimes towards communities that are extremely liberal. And whats more, they tend to harbor extreme resentment for their respective families, and for the religions which they saw as stifling their childhoods.

Now, consider the boomer generation, which gave us hippies. Do you suppose that they came from a religious background? I think that’s natural to guess. The generation that preceeded them saw two world wars, and the development of atomic weapons. Considering this, the WW2 generation would have likely believed that the world was about to end. That’s understandable considering that those two world wars saw the deployment of the worst weapons that were available at the time, and shortly afterwards, nuclear weapon stockpiles grew to the point that all of humanity could be wiped out multiple times.

In the face of such annihilation, it’s natural to expect people to lean into their religions. But as parents became overly strict, there would come to be a backlash.

It should be understood that not everyone in a generational group lives up to the stereotypes associated with their respective groups. I see people eschew these stereotypes all the time. But it seems as though the boomer generational group has a disproportionate amount of people who have a distaste for religion, Christianity in particular. In light of this, it’s easy to see why the boomers gave us hippies, and a disproportionate amount of them are sexual libertines.

Their influence on society is difficult to understate. It’s largely due to them that children in the western world today tend to be viewed as an inconvenience rather than a treasure. What’s more, you’d have to search pretty hard to find western made entertainment media which portrays marriage and family in a positive light.

As a consequence of the choices of boomer era liberals, families were broken, communities became more dangerous, societies more dysfunctional, and nations on the verge of falling apart. But while this is obvious to just about everyone else, the liberal boomers obstinately refuse to admit that they were wrong, because they don’t want to go anywhere close to admitting that their religious parents were right.

But what they’re refusing to admit, subsequent generations are learning, resulting in a shift to the right. This shift will become more pronounced as the hippie generation passes away. That is guaranteed.

For those who need to know, parents without a religion tend to be far worse than those with one, by a considerable amount. Not only do they view their children as an inconvenience, there is no moral check on their narcissism, and they’ll only grudgingly show kindness towards their children, usually because they feel an obligation (birthdays, Christmas, etc.). And go ahead and pity the child in such a household when it’s time to punish them. In corporal punishment, the parents tend to go ape shit, and outside of that, their tendency to run their household like a dictator becomes more pronounced.

It’s in light of the left’s tendency to oppose Christianity that their simultaneous advocacy for homosexuality and Islam is easier to comprehend. When left to its own devices, Muslims will kill gays, because they view homosexuality as a sin that merits capital punishment. Obviously, the groups involved cannot be reconciled in the long term. However, each has at least a slight opposition to Christianity.

If it sounds like leftism is a huge anti-Christian club, that’s because it pretty much is. Remember that the term “left” as relates to political affiliation goes back to enlightenment era France, where those who were more traditional and more pro-Christian tended to sit on the right side of the house of representatives, while those who opposed them tended to seat themselves to the left. The political battle that we see today is part of a war that’s been going on for centuries.

As I see it, though, the war might finally be coming to an end, and it looks like conservatives are definitely going to win. Not only is a hugely left-wing generation on the verge of passing away, they’ve shown the obvious outcomes of their experimental ideas, and have left an example that inspires disgust.

And if the hippies are seen in a negative light today, they are definitely not going to be viewed favorably by future generations who will view the record of them with hindsight.

Did the No Kings protest indicate a shift in the political tide?

Leave a reply

To get right to the answer to the question in the title, yes, the No Kings protest does indeed indicate a shift in the political zeitgeist. But not in the way that people expect.

To understand what I’m getting at, here’s a pic from the protest just a couple days ago:

Do you see it? Here’s another:

See it yet? But we’re not done yet:

And another:

There’s more:

Wait, how’d that get in there? My mistake. Here’s another:

And more:

That one was a little on-the-nose, but you probably get the point. But for those who think I might be cherry picking, here’s one with a lot of people in frame, which you can save to your device and zoom in on, examining at your leisure:

The overwhelming majority of these crowds are retirement age leftists, which, in some cases, turned out in large numbers.

Left-wing social media personalities are pointing at the numbers, and are making them out to be some victory. Because of course they would. If the left’s cheerleaders aren’t making their following feel good, then their following will find someone who does.

But those numbers are not the victory that the left is making it out to be, especially in light of the fact that, however many leftists  mobilized when summoned, they were still outnumbered by the people who voted in the current president, by popular vote no less.

But that they’re currently outnumbered is not my point. And if you still don’t get it, then consider the following question: Where were all the young people?

It’s an important question, considering that the political zeitgeist is already swinging to the right, and quite heavily in some regards. How much more momentum do you suppose the right is going to gain when all those retirement age leftists age out, not just from working, but also from voting?

We all know the joke: that the dead vote Democrat. But to get serious, we might be on the verge of a major swing to the right, much greater than what we’ve been seeing recently, what with people coming to understand the second order consequences of left-wing policies. If all the people who show up to protests in an attempt to relive their pasts are an indication, a previous generation of leftists are going to leave a bunch of younger right-wingers to determine policy, and a swing to the right that we’ve been seeing in recent times is going to gain a lot more momentum.

To further drive the point home, traffic to sites of corporate media outlets, which tend to have a left-wing bias, is continuing their plunge:

Which makes sense considering that the people who trust them are hugely from the generation that is currently dying out. If there’s a characteristic fallacy of the boomer generation, it would be appeal to authority, though it’s selectively applied, as fallacies often are. It’s their tendency to be less skeptical of the things the people on the TV say.

While there are exceptions, people in the boomer generation haven’t done much to exhibit skepticism. To be fair, that seems to happen when people age. If you’ve had to tell someone not to open strange links or email attachments from people they don’t know, it was probably someone from that generational group.

And when you know that people tend to be more gullible as they age, it’s easy to see why legions and legions of old people have shown up in droves to express the delusional belief that the president that was voted in by electoral college and popular vote is actually a monarch.

That these people influence public policy says a lot about the state of the left.

One of the things women learn about dating is to pay attention to how their suitor behaves with those whom they perceive as having an advantage over.

This includes wait staff, the family that they already have, and, of course, animals.

The reason for this is because any indication of abuse from a man would be a strong indication of the abuse a woman would look forward to if she were to enter into a committed relationship with him.

I bring this up because Hasan Piker, one of the biggest breadtubers, is now facing accusations of using a shock collar on his dog live on stream, for the mere crime of fidgeting.

Here’s the footage associated with the accusation:

As Hamas… I mean, Hasan… is talking about violence, his dog gets up, and begins to walk off. Hamas… uh, Hasan… begins to yell at the dog.

Even without the shock collar, this pisses me off. Dogs move around. That’s what they naturally do, and it comes as naturally for them as barking at squirrels. There’s nothing wrong with this. In fact, dog owners have a duty to frequently walk them. That’s a normal part of having a dog.

If you own a dog and don’t even allow it to be a dog, what are you even doing?

Notice how Hamas… You know what? I’m tired of correcting myself when I accidentally call Hasan “Hamas”. He’s a Hamas supporter, so the shoe fits. Let’s get comfortable with calling him “Hamas Piker”.

Notice how Hamas reaches for something just off-camera, then the dog lets out a loud yelp. Hamas’ motion is consistent with pressing a button on a remote device as the dog yelped.

In a subsequent video that Hamas made in his defense, he pointed out that the dog yelped because it clipped its paw on the edge of a table. But we can see the footage. At the instant the dog yelped, we saw its paws, and they were not being injured by anything.

In my opinion, shock collars should be banned, which they are in some countries. The idea of exercising precise control over a small animal with the threat of torture at any given instant is messed up.

And what upset Hamas so much that he yelled at his dog and zapped it? It wouldn’t sit still in-frame, like the good little set piece that he probably viewed it as.

Then, to drive the point home how messed up Hamas is, he then went on a rant about how spoiled the dog is, and how it wants to roam about the house. Like I said before, dogs need to move. Walking the dog is a thing for that reason. But apparently what Hamas thinks his dog needs instead is “structured, regimented” discipline so the poor thing would know to sit still so it wouldn’t ignite his peevishness.

This is the kind of thing that tends to be lethal to streaming careers. You might remember Rich of ReviewTechUSA, and how he fell off. His own daughter wanted to be put to bed while he was streaming. The right thing to do would have been to leave his chair empty in the time it took for him to do his duty as a parent, and his viewers would have understood, and may have even found it heartwarming.

But Rich was not a good dad. He shooed his daughter away, so he could keep right on streaming. This pissed off his viewers.

Of course, it doesn’t help his daughter that there’s footage of her dad floating around on the internet wherein he was playing with his own nipples because people were paying him to do so.

To get back to talking about Hamas, I doubt I would have otherwise remembered him in a few years. For one thing, because I’m already getting his name wrong. But also because I have blended memories of him and another streamer named Density… I mean, Destiny. Okay, maybe I’ll call him Density. Hamas and Density are functionally identical in that they are leftist ideologues and champagne socialists, both breadtubers that are practically indistinguishable and superfluous in respect to one another. It was as though they were identical clones, spit out of the same machine.

But now, Hamas has something that sets him apart, which makes him distinct from his ideological mitosis siblings, but the image of mistreating dogs is not a good look. He was better off being virtually indistinguishable from any other overpaid cheerleader for the left-wing violence machine.

If he’s your hero, then just what are you doing?

Tyler Robinson: A Mind Destroyed By Hatred

1 Reply

The dust hasn’t settled yet, but I’m going for it, anyhow. The feature of the latest installment of Throw Life Away Over Stupid Bullshit, Tyler Robinson.

There’s something that I like to do with people who become especially infamous, and that’s give them a fitting and derisive nickname. One of Tyler’s bullet casings had a message inscribed upon it, which reads, “notices bulges oWo what’s this”. Tyler expressed in a text message the fear that the message would be discovered, as though it were something he would be ashamed of. And because he’s furry-adjacent, a critter term would be somewhat fitting.

Therefore, his new name is Bulge Rat.

Bulge Rat would be the fuck belch who assassinated Charlie Kirk in front of his family and thousands of event attendees. Much to the profuse denial of leftists everywhere, this is yet another example of extreme left-wing violence inspired by left-wing ideology.

I suspect that most of the people who say that it was a case of a MAGA chud killing another MAGA chud don’t actually believe it, but as for the ones that do, they are simply pitiable. The world must be a confusing place for someone so gullible. It’s confusing for the rest of us, but more so for them.

You couldn’t be blamed for wondering why the left lies so blatantly against overwhelming evidence that is against them. It actually goes together with why leftism is so attractive for the slow-minded and middle-of-the-road thinkers: leftism is less concerned with whether a matter is true, and more with what furthers their own causes. This makes it easy to advocate for, because it doesn’t require moral consistency. People who are insincere about their professed beliefs usually have to at least try to remember what they said, in the event that someone may try to hold them to it. Leftism’s lack of moral consistency means less concern for the truth of a matter, freeing up mental resources for deceptive rhetoric that’s designed to catch people unprepared.

Also, did you really think that leftists would take accountability for the violence caused by their ideology? Particularly the social media influencers and pundits who have built their entire careers on the lies that they push?

Back to Bulge Rat, he came from a conservative household and once wore a Trump Halloween costume, and the bullshitters stop right there and just use that to say that he was a right-winger who killed another right-winger for not being right-wing enough, because apparently they believe that that’s what right-wingers do. Except they don’t, no one unironically believes that.

Okay, truth payload, coming in at your six. Ready? People who are in their twenties often have different views than when they were twelve. Yeah, shocker, right?

I mean, when my age consisted of a single digit, I thought that a fair world was when free stuff. But then I learned that stuff has to come from somewhere, so the world is more fair when you earn it. Like anyone who didn’t go on to become socialists.

Bulge Rat was a scholarship student with a 4.0 GPA, which goes to show that smart people are not always great people. In fact, when smart people go insane, their own substantial intelligence becomes weaponized against their own mind, and their human capacity for self-deception becomes magnified to terrifying extremes.

Initially, Bulge Rat had a bright future ahead of him. But then the mental destruction began. He was indoctrinated by left-wing politics, which convinced him to hate conservatives more and more. His family took notice. He even got himself a boyfriend, an MtF transgender who would be his roommate.

Then, his own destruction would become complete.

I’ve been completely honest with you until now, and I’m going to keep this up: There’s a lot that’s infuriating about this kid. The bombastic nature of his crime, which he carefully planned out, the reckless disregard for the people in attendance who were not his target, his indifference, not just for his target, but also his family who was in attendance, including his daughter who wanted to go to her daddy for comfort because she was afraid of the loud noise.

Bulge Rat’s execution should be televised. I had to see Charlie Kirk get shot on social media because of him, and now I want to see Bulge Rat take his medicine in front of a firing squad.

But the greatest revenge is seeing Bulge Rat’s attempt to destroy conservatism backfire spectacularly. For one thing, people are taking notice of Bulge Rat’s left-wing convictions, and they are disgusted by them. And not only that, people are taking note of the ghouls who are celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and are disgusted by this, too. And because they’ve gone mask-off, employers are discovering that these are not the kind of people that they want around.

Consequence Culture at its finest.

But better still, a passion has been ignited for conservatism. To the point that, from what I’ve heard, church attendance has come way up!

If Bulge Rat had intended to destroy conservatism, he couldn’t have made a stupider or more self-defeating move.

When it comes down to it, we no longer live in an age where assassination is an effective strategy for defeating an ideology. For one thing, it’s nothing new that martyrdom can magnify a message. But now, in this age of social media, it’s trivially simple for a person to learn about the ideology of the one martyred, and for that ideology to gain new adherents. Social media further expedites this process by greatly expanding the potential reach of the ideology’s message.

What’s more, people today see assassination as an infuriating crime against intellect, a failure to effectively refute the martyr’s ideology in a marketplace of ideas. Assassination of a martyr signals desperation on the part of a competing ideology, one with less expectation to win an argument, so it instead chooses violence. And when it comes to that point, it becomes obvious that the assassin’s ideology and its adherents don’t have a sincere interest in a safe and stable society.

And when it comes down to it, leftism is a carefully constructed denial of reality. I mean, come on, they actually believe that men can become women. What more needs to be said? And when one of their own turns violent because he can’t win with reason, they’ll lie right to you and tell you that it’s right-wing on right-wing violence, in spite of the evidence that comes pouring out against their claims.

Which is exactly what they did when Jawvious shot up a Catholic school just last month, which was an act of transgender violence. Which itself was reminiscent of an earlier attack against another Christian elementary school in Tennessee. Why does this keep happening?

It was only days prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk that people were outraged over the senseless murder of a Ukrainian refugee on a train. While the murder itself wasn’t motivated by politics, the revolving door justice system favored by left-wing judges and DAs certainly made the macabre scene possible.

Then there’s the George Floyd riots, when the left went ballistic over the overdose death of a junkie as he was being arrested. Or there’s the ironically-termed “Summer of Love”, which saw the looting and fiery destruction of businesses.

Or there was the “CHAZ” or “CHOP”, which was an attempt to secede from the United States, an attempt which pretty much fell apart within weeks, because leftists don’t know how to run an organized society, even when enabled by a parasitic relationship with the surrounding society.

The Russians and the Chinese must have been laughing so hard.

“Er, bUt, uHM, aKcshULLy…”

What, that the right commits violence, too? That the right needs to turn down the temperature, too? As though the right is just as responsible for the violence that is committed against them as the leftists who are committing it against them? I suppose next you’ll try saying that a rape victim is just as guilty as a rapist. Considering how much leftists coddle Islamists who actually believe that, I wouldn’t put it past them.

Or are you going to bring up the January 6th Capitol protest, a demonstration that got out of hand, and no one outside of the demonstrators themselves were killed during the demonstration?

It’s been five years since, and the left hasn’t come off it. That’s because it’s all they have to fuel the myth of the violent right, outside of lying, which includes falsely attributing left-wing violence to the right, which they have shamelessly and desperately have attempted to do. Or falsely grouping prison violence as right-wing violence, to bring those numbers up.

People are pissed that Charlie Kirk was killed, especially considering that he was the nice guy, the one who went up to his political opponents to talk. That was his thing. The event he was killed at, the entire idea was that anyone could go up to him and talk to him. He was killed for that, because he was so effectively vilified by his enemies.

He was actually discussing transgender violence when he was shot. By a transgender-adjacent homosexual. I know that coincidences happen, but if someone had the idea that the shooting was timed for such a question, I could understand that.

Sobering as it may be to think about, I think that more violence is likely to be committed by those taking up the cause for the transgender movement, and left-wingers in general. The left-wing radicalization pipeline is just way too effective to realistically expect otherwise. As for when it might happen, it’s difficult to say. But considering that about 2 weeks separated the assassination of Charlie Kirk from the shooting at a Minnesota church, it might not be long before the next leftist lunatic goes murder ‘tard.

And if those who celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk are any indication, there may be many, many more who might. And they apparently number in the tens of thousands.

But as for Bulge Rat, the guy was one of many whose mind was destroyed by the left-wing radicalization pipeline. Though he accused his political opponents of hate, Bulge Rat would prove that his own hatred would surpass anyone who he ever vilified.

However, Conservatives are motivated by something far more profound: Love. The real kind. The kind that realizes that there are things worth protecting and defending.

To leftists like Tyler Robinson, love is a word with strong emotional connotations with many definitions, which they equivocate between in an attempt to justify their own agenda. However, the leftist idea of love is tainted by deviance. This is why they don’t properly comprehend it.

They don’t understand hate, either. To them, it’s yet another emotionally charged word that they falsely attribute to their political opponents. But if they understood it, they would understand that it applies well to leftists.

Think about the things you love and cherish, those things that are worth fighting for and protecting. Those are among the things that give life its joy.

The left-wing experiment has failed.

So, what happens when a media apparatus continually speaks of a political faction as though they’re Nazis, while their fellow political cultists say among themselves that the way Nazis are dealt with is to kill them?

It’s not a trick question. The answer is obvious. And we saw how a depraved, lunatic mental deficient answered it when they killed Charlie Kirk.

And to confirm that the dead-enders have arrived at a consensus on this, many of them have taken to social media to celebrate the murder.

As I see it, they can go right on going mask-off, because we’re screen-grabbing, hitting record, and then comes whatever it is that comes next for them, because freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

But apparently, they think it’s okay to murder people who have better viewpoints than they do. And they’ll do so while justifying themselves in their own warped heads by insisting that Charlie was some kind of extremist, something that Charlie Kirk definitely wasn’t.

In reality, he was regarded as a middle-of-the-road conservative. Personally, I see him as an actual conservative, and the groypers and their ilk have benefitted too heavily from the idea that they’re more to the right. The fact is, Charlie Kirk was right-wing, while the Nick Fuentes types are some fringe group that more reasonable people should stay away from.

But going back to the intellectual dead-ends who are celebrating the murder, they really shouldn’t. They have no idea the sleeping giant that has just awakened. People are pissed. And they are now aware that the left-wing experiment has failed.

We know that when someone like Charlie Kirk comes along, who just wants to talk, their enemies will try to kill them. The entire point of the event that Kirk attended was for anyone to go up to him and ask him questions. And he’d talk to them. It was an open forum.

And yet, he was killed for it. In so doing, his enemies (and ours) have demonstrated that they are not people who can be reasoned with. And that is not an image you want for your movement, because things tend to go badly for any movement like that, particularly for its foot soldiers and useful idiots.

At this point, we still don’t have the perp. It’s probably not going well for him. We’d be getting into speculation, but I suspect that he probably took his own life at this point. That’s often how it goes for situations like this: the offender commits whatever crime he does, then afterwards, for one reason or another, he takes his own life. Maybe out of guilt, maybe to avoid the consequences. But whatever the reason, people who commit crimes like this often take their own lives.

We have information that the gun may have been retrieved, apparently wrapped in a towel and discarded in the woods. It would seem the bullet cases have anti-fascist memes written on them.

Imagine my shock.

It’s likely that it was yet another violent transgender defect behind this murder. As I’ve pointed out before, these people get dangerous when they feel like they are backed up into a corner, which is probably how they are feeling now, now that their ridiculous ideology is losing in public opinion.

If it turns out that the killer is yet another trans radical, their movement is only going to look worse, resulting in them losing yet more ground. Thus, they may turn to yet more violence.

It’s difficult for me to find something to say on the matter that hasn’t already been said, so there’s two points that I’d like to give more attention.

First, the conspiracy theorists should sit this one out. Right now, we need the truth, not their inane nonsense.

Second, and more importantly, consider what you love and what you fight for. Whether it’s family and friends, or simple pleasures, remember what it is you enjoy. We enjoy life, which is one of the reasons we find strength to continue on. The people who hate us would deny us joy and happiness. Perhaps the finest thing you can do to spite the people who hate you is to enjoy life, and the things which are special to you.

But when it comes to the people we take issue with, “love” is not something that they understand. It’s a word that they use because they know that they could use it to manipulate and justify any behavior that they want to justify. But they’ve only been fooling themselves.

Whether the left admits it or not, it’s obvious now that their experiment has failed. Their vision for the world has been built on a foundation of lies and deviance. Among those left who still believe in it, too many are acting out what it leads to, and that’s been becoming increasingly difficult to deny.

But as for those on the right, we would do well to know that any instance of poor judgment on our part is likely to be magnified many times, by virtue of the fact that the left still has control of state-sponsored media. It’s something we should be used to by now, that we are held to a far higher standard.

It feels like we’re living in a different world, now. Be vigilant. It’s becoming an increasingly necessary virtue.

I liked them better when they were fiction.

If you hate bugs, get ready to hate them even more.

Pictured above is what’s called an amaranthine deceptor. It’s a fictional insect from Made In Abyss. Its deal is that it inhabits the 6th layer of an environment called The Abyss. They imitate leaves, which makes them difficult to detect without careful attention. They won’t travel too far away from their nest, and spend much of their time just sitting on plants, resembling leaves.

The problem comes in when they receive a signal to attack. When this happens, they immediately swarm the area, attacking any critter that they can, trying to force themselves into any opening, such as their mouths. Once embedded, they live inside their host as parasites, slowly feeding on flesh, and trying to delay the death of the host so they can continue feasting on a living meal. Eventually, the host dies.

Though the bugs live in the 6th layer, they posed a problem when a number of them made a nest in the 4th layer. The party of protagonists had a brief encounter with them at the beginning of the film, Dawn of the Deep Soul, and haven’t been in a hurry to encounter more of them, since. Their danger classification is five stars (absurd).

“Okay,” you might be saying, “but those bugs are made up. If something like that actually existed, wouldn’t more people know about them?” If that’s what you’re wondering, then get ready to have your day ruined.

Pictured here is what’s called a cochliomiya hominivorax, also simply known as a screwworm. What’s its deal? When a pregnant female screwworm sees an open wound on a warm-blooded mammal, it goes for it, laying its eggs in the wound. It can lay hundreds of eggs at a time.

Oh, in case you’re wondering: Yes, humans are warm-blooded mammals.

When the eggs hatch, the larvae begin feasting on the surrounding flesh, burrowing deeper as it does, which is where it gets the name “screwworm”. Currently, the only option for treating a screwworm infection is surgery, which involves removing the little abominations, often one at a time.

At this point, the next question I imagine you have is, “Where do these monstrosities live, so I’ll know to stay away from them?”

At one point, they were common in the American southwest. But then, they migrated to the southeast as infected livestock were shipped. In the 1960s, Americans decided that they were tired of their buggy bullshit, so they released a bunch of lab-raised sterile male screwworms into the wild, causing females to bear unviable eggs. As a result, the screwworms were driven down to Central America, where they were no longer our problem.

Personally, I would have consented to their complete eradication, but it was still a job well done. There was a small outbreak in 2016 among endangered deer in Florida, but the outbreak was eliminated in 2017.

But now we’re talking about them, again. Why is that? Because there is a confirmed human case in the state of Maryland, and the victim is a traveler from El Salvador.

Screwworm populations have been monitored, and have become an increasing concern as they’ve been migrating steadily North, and have migrated as far as Mexico since an outbreak originating in Panama in 2023, which happens to be when unchecked mass migration was in full swing during the Biden administration.

But a human case as far North as the state of Maryland comes as a shock. Sure, we can release more lab-raised sterile male screwworms to fight back. But I don’t want those things coming back here, at all.

Because we’ve established that screwworms can make it to the US via infected travelers, aren’t they another compelling reason why unchecked mass migration is a horrendously bad idea?

About that loser…

My opinion on this matter is going to be pretty predictable. I’ve waited this long because I’ve been waiting for the dust to settle, so that what’s likely misinformation becomes apparent for what it is.

There’s something that I like to do when it comes to mass murderers, and that’s to give them derisive nicknames, in an effort to reduce the legacy that they may have intended. This time around, the killer’s name was Robert Westman. Because he was pretending to be something that he was not, he changed his name to Robin Westman.

Yeah, he was trans. And he preferred female pronouns, but as you could probably tell, I’m not playing along with him.

Because his huge, massive jaw gives his entire routine away, his new name is Jawvious (portmonteau of jaw and obvious). That jaw looks like it could do some damage if it were dropped on someone.

That’s so Jawvious.

Because Jawvious was trans, hated Trump, hated Christians, and hated Jews, the left is panicking to try to get this hot potato out of their hands. But the deed is done, we have yet another mass shooting where the perpetrator believed their bullshit.

And, as was the case with the Nashville shooter, the target was children in a religious school which Jawvious had previously attended. And, as before, the killer had extensively documented their intents in a personal journal.

The choice of children as a target was evidently intended to maximize the societal damage of the attack. Nothing expresses hatred quite like destroying the future of a family and a society by attacking those who would carry families and society into the future.

If I were to speculate on what led Jawvious to attack those more innocent and better than himself, it’s my guess that he had a psychological disorder. But rather than getting the attention that he needed, Jawvious was instead fast-tracked down the trans path, possibly by mental health professionals who were given an incentive to do so. Thus, he continued thinking he was trans, because he was carefully and systematically gaslit into doing so, while anyone who could’ve talked some sense into him was discouraged from doing so by the potential to be charged with a hate crime. And as this was going on, Jawvious’ mental health disorder continued to fester, untreated.

Eventually, Jawvious arrived at the realization that he couldn’t ever actually become a woman, no matter how much magical thinking or surgical butchery he might undergo. But it’s likely that he was in a community which convinced him that this was what it took to become happy.

Combining this with his mental health disorder, whatever that may have been, and you find someone who is so bitter that he decides that other people shouldn’t get to grow up. While his decision was ghoulish to anyone with decent sense, and even to people who lack the same sense, such as Jawvious himself, he went through with it anyway, though he had at least a few days to think it over, and possibly change his mind. He did not.

In the past, as I’ve noticed that the trans movement was in decline, I pointed out that there would be people who I referred to as dead-enders. These would be people who invested so much social capital into the trans movement that after the movement falls into disfavor, as it has already begun to, that they wouldn’t be able to take the hit to their reputation which would come with advocating irreparable physical harm to children.

They took up the wrong cause. And now, they feel like they’re being backed up into a corner. They know that their position will be reduced to a scandal which will damage their political and influencer careers in the years to come. Some of them will never recover from it.

And that’s when they become dangerous. Some of them, feeling threatened, will turn violent, as was the case with the Nashville shooter.

It’s likely that we’ll see this again, and it will be far more likely to happen if professionals continue to ignore and normalize mental illness, which would be wrong and irresponsible of them, regardless of what has been incentivized for them.

PETA made a sound again.

Leave a reply

Nobody really takes PETA seriously, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t occasionally pipe in an effort to remain relevant.

This time, it’s about Mario Kart World, specifically, the Cow character.

From their tone, it doesn’t seem as though they object to the character itself, just to it’s choice of accessory, as indicated in their recent letter to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa:

Dear Mr. Furukawa:

Greetings! I’m writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). PETA entities have more than 10 million members and supporters globally. We herd there’s a new star in Mario Kart World: Cow! She is already winning hearts everywhere—including ours. But one detail has us hitting the brakes: The brass ring in Cow’s nose. Would you please show empathy towards bovines and remove the nose ring? Here’s why this is so important:

Nose rings are used by the meat and dairy industries to exploit, control, and even drag animals to their deaths. These brass rings are crudely stabbed through the sensitive septum of cows and bulls, which can cause lasting pain and discomfort. The dairy industry will also clip spiked nose rings on baby cows so that the comforting act of nursing from their mother causes her pain and the baby is rejected and kicked away. To control bulls, a chain might be fastened from the nose ring to the bull’s horn for even more pain-driven control.

The brass ring in Cow’s nose glosses over real world violence and cruelty to animals. That’s why we’re asking you to give this beloved bovine a small but meaningful upgrade: Remove the nose ring and let Cow race freely- without any painful reminders of the industries that treat animals like profit-making machines.

Every animal is someone. So leave the rings to Sonic and let Cow breathe free!

They also made a graphic:

While we’re banning nose rings, let’s ban having women wear nose rings, as well. I’m kidding. Women are free to make themselves as unattractive as they wish.

But on that note, has PETA considered the opinion of the Cow on this matter? Maybe the Cow wanted to wear a nose ring. Maybe it considers nose rings fashionable. Or maybe it likes them.

For that matter, has PETA considered that the Cow in MKW is just a made-up character, and therefore can’t actually suffer? Besides, the Cow looks like it’s having the time of it’s life, riding around on motorcycles with a big smile on its face.

Personally, I doubt that Furukawa will even see PETA’s letter. But if he did, it would probably come off to him as another attempt by someone outside of Japan to influence Japanese media. And I suspect that the Japanese are getting sick of this.

When it comes to PETA and groups like it, you can’t give, even a little bit. Because if you do, that’s just going to encourage them to keep going with this kind of stuff. What you do is ignore them.

Or you ridicule them. That would definitely be a correct way to answer them.

Another old Simpsons episode is now surprisingly relevant

Leave a reply

I know that cartoons like The Simpsons are only fiction, and that because of this, using it to illustrate a point isn’t always helpful. The person writing them can write in any lesson that they want, including those that may not work in reality, but can work in a fictional setting anyway, by nature of being a fictional work.

Still, an old cartoon can make a point that puts things into perspective, and that perspective might be much needed.

Also, using cartoons to illustrate a point is fun, and can hold the attention of those who grew up with the same cartoons.

You may remember an old episode of The Simpsons, titled Itchy and Scratchy and Marge. In the episode, an infant character Maggie strikes her father Homer with a mallet, leaving the child’s mother Marge perplexed as to why Maggie would do such a thing. Later, she sees an episode of a cartoon, Itchy and Scratchy.

Itchy and Scratchy is an in-universe parody of a real-life cartoon Tom and Jerry, but with a stronger emphasis on graphic violence, and airs as part of a program called Krusty the Clown, which is enjoyed by Marge’s other children, Bart and Lisa. Interestingly, while Lisa normally abhors violence, she adores Itchy and Scratchy with the same enthusiasm as Bart.

Having watched the cartoon for herself, and seeing little Maggie attempting to stab Homer with a pencil, Marge makes a mental connection, and decides to take action.

As the episode progresses, Marge eventually builds a coalition, which successfully convinces the writers of Itchy and Scratchy to write a non-violent episode. Predictably, this causes viewers of Krusty the Clown to lose interest, resulting in them playing outside, instead.

For Marge, this appears to be a victory. However, the episode doesn’t end there. The curators of a famous work of art were on a tour which would take them through Marge’s home town of Springfield.

Marge believed the work to be a masterpiece. However, the coalition she was previously a part of objected to it, by reason of it being a depiction of nudity. Thus, there was a new conflict driving the plot, as Marge contested the coalition she herself was instrumental in forming, while being criticized for her alleged hypocrisy for opposing the artistic depiction of violence, while defending an artistic depiction of nudity.

In the end, Marge won out again, and Marge and Homer got to see the statue for themselves at an exhibit, where they expressed a desire for their children to also see it for themselves, possibly through a school field trip.

There are numerous takeaways that a person could come away with after watching this episode. But the one I would like to focus on is the main theme, which concerns the freedom of expression in practice.

Due to the ironic nature of how the characters in The Simpsons are written, it can be difficult to determine whether the characters learn lessons which may be apparent to viewers.

Marge initially disregarded the principle of free expression, apparently taking a position which favored her own interests. Rather than properly instructing her own children, she opted for convenience, insisting on  entertainment media which she saw as having less potential for negative influence.

But when a work of art was to arrive in town which she regarded as a masterpiece, she defended it, against the objections of the cadre she had previously sided with.

The undertone of the episode illustrates to viewers that protecting free expression doesn’t just mean protecting expressions that one prefers, it also means tolerating the presence of expressions that may not appeal to one’s sensibilities. Otherwise, one risks being seen as hypocritical, as Marge did.

Also relevant to today, one can notice that the coalition that Marge helped form didn’t stop with the art she didn’t like, it continued with the art that she did like. That’s how it often goes with such collectivist groups, they can develop in ways that’s difficult to predict, and they often develop desires which are well beyond what they may have initially expressed.

Fake MAGA and the Weaponization of Bullplop

Leave a reply
If Fake MAGA lived eight decades ago.

It’s no secret that much of the internet is about influencing other people to do things. Because of this, it shouldn’t be a surprise that foreign actors can use social media to influence Joe and Jane Q. Public.

Now, the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) has determined that foreign actors are attempting to infiltrate the MAGA movement with the intent of dividing it against itself. The infiltraters have been aptly termed, “Fake MAGA”, and because these bots and fake accounts are sophisticated, they might not give the same kind of “hello fellow children” vibe as you might sense from your usual imposter.

It’s evident that leftists are also being infiltrated, but I’ll come back to that.

Because the report gets really specific and even names the names of some prominent figures in the fringe of the MAGA movement, the NCRI had better have been really careful in crossing its “i”s and dotting its “t”s (or however it’s supposed to go). Because if they muffed some things up, the NCRI might face some totes cereal defamation lawsuits.

The report alleges that foreign actors have created bot accounts on the social media platform we now know as X (formerly Twitter), creating accounts well in advance of events that they might comment on to give them the appearance of authenticity, and farming engagement for fringe MAGA personalities most likely to propagate messages sympathetic to Russia and Iran, increasing the likelihood that the greater MAGA movement will change their perspective given the peer pressure.

I strongly recommend reading the report for yourself. While some aspects can be questioned, it’s still an eye-opening report, and does a great job of explaining why we saw a recent spike in pro-Iranian MAGA chuds in recent days.

Among the names that were named in the report as carrying water for Fake MAGA are Nick Fuentes, Jake Shields, and Jackson Hinkle, as well as Draven Noctis, Megatron_Ron, and Adam eMedia. About half these names are ones I’ve heard of, and I’ve probably muted at least a couple because I got sick of their bullshit.

Among the allegations made by NCRI are that some of these personalities are in league with foreign actors, and benefitted from engagement farming.

From my perspective, Jake Shields and his ilk look like the kind of guys who would say anything if it were to net them engagement, and it’s hard to imagine them with any kind of sincere principle. As for me, if I were to wake up one morning next to five million dollars then discover that I got it by acting like Jake Shields, I’d probably set fire to the money, then jump into it.

As for the alleged bot accounts, the report alleges that a high volume of them were started around two specific dates: April 26 and October 28, both in the year 2022. These dates are approximate to, but not precisely on, the initiation and completion of Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (April 14 and October 27th, respectively). To be fair, this would be about the time that many with sincerely-held right wing opinions may have started accounts, determining that the platform may become less hostile. However, the sudden influx in accounts would have made excellent cover for the influx of bots.

How does an ordinary user identify the bots? Before we get carried away and point to accounts created on those dates, remember that many sincere MAGA people were joining at around the dates mentioned above. The stronger giveaway is a sudden influx of so-called MAGA accounts posting sympathetically towards foreign adversaries.

Many of the accounts in question were so-called “groypers”, with heavily on-the-nose nationalistic sentiments, and they suspiciously drop “false flag” conspiracy theories in tandem with one another, particularly immediately after a significant event. Interestingly, many of these bots have had blue checkmarks purchased for them, adding to the illusion of authenticity.

When enough of these bots are acting in tandem, they can manipulate the algorithm to create the effect of a flood of their posts in the feeds of those on the right. The goal is to influence the opinions of right wingers through the illusion of peer pressure.

If you were on X immediately following the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities by US forces, then you’ve probably seen a flood of Fake MAGA bot posts. And they seem to have continued until about mid-day yesterday, as though someone noticed that something was amiss, and pulled the plug on them.

Interestingly, other social media platforms didn’t have the same bot problem. YouTube didn’t have to put up with any Fake MAGA crap. Even Minds seemed unaffected. It was basically just X which was targeted.

Until the time that the party was over, the community did find a few Fake MAGA accounts on their own. At least one of them, which was subsequently deleted, was found by CatTurd. Another was outed by Community Notes:

A Fake MAGA proclaiming that he won’t die for a foreign country conjures the mental image of an overweight groyper sitting on his couch being handed conscription papers.

No one expects him to die for a foreign country. No one expects him to die for his own country. It’s more realistic to expect him to die from complications related to his own diet.

If you’re wondering whether bots and other Fake MAGA accounts can participate in surveys, yes, they can. It’s not a new thing, but here’s a recent example:

The Twitter survey, and all its famous scientific accuracy.

If you’ve never heard of Felix Rex, he’s a somewhat obscure YouTuber who sounded insightful back in 2016, but has since taken to schizo-posting. It’s gotten to the point that he believes that red-haired people are the descendents of an ancient race of genetically engineered humans.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, by the way.

While matters are relatively back to normal for the time being, there have been casualties in the recent bot insurgency. On the bright side, we now have a better idea of who the grifters are. In that sense, the Fake MAGA bots did us a favor.

But let’s not kid ourselves into thinking that it’s over. The fact is, America’s adversaries have found a new way to demoralize America, and it’s on us to remain true to ourselves, regardless of what an apparent majority may think. We saw what happens when a fake majority attempts to bandwagon Americans into thinking that Iran should be left to develop nukes.

I like to say, stand up for what’s right, even if you’re standing alone.

I said earlier that I’d come back to how leftists are probably handling it. Yes, leftists are being influenced by foreigners. And they don’t seem to have a defense. Stands to reason considering that they have an unhealthy amount of outgroup empathy, which the foreign adversaries can easily exploit.

I think the following cartoon illustrates how easily they can be influenced:

One way or another, the left is going to set cars on fire, throw molotov cocktails, and loot Apple stores. For what cause? Our foreign adversaries will decide.
