Linkskrieg: Bootstraps to Monuments

On Having Whiteness | Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies

Donald Moss will discuss whiteness as a condition one first acquires and then one has–a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which “white” people have a particular susceptibility. He describes the condition as being foundational, generating characteristic ways of being in one’s body, in one’s mind, and in one’s world: Parasitic whiteness renders its hosts’ appetites voracious, insatiable, and perverse; these deformed appetites particularly target non-white people; and, once established, these appetites are nearly impossible to eliminate. Effective treatment requires a combination of psychological and social-historical interventions, which can reasonably aim only to reshape whiteness’ infiltrated appetites – to reduce their intensities, to redistribute their aims, and to occasionally turn those aims toward the work of reparation. When remembered and represented, the ravages caused by the chronic condition can function either as a warning (“never again”) or as a temptation (“great again”). Memorialization alone, therefore, is no guarantee against regression. There is not yet a permanent cure.

Dems put on a show for a tiny gaggle of noisy hate-maddened lunatics. Trump played to a vastly larger audience, a contrast perfectly captured by him delivering a poetic and inspirational closing while Pelosi acted like a toddler and ripped up a copy of his speech.

“Before this decade is out, some smart Democrat is going to realize that if they would have treated Trump like an ordinary President, he would have behaved like an ordinary President, that they have only themselves to blame for making him extraordinary. And if we’re very lucky, the rest of the Democrats will ignore and ostracize this insightful Democrat, and remain stuck on stupid for another 30 years.”

Of course, another reason why The Age of Conspiracy would work is the inner party is actually behind some rather important conspiracies. For example, the seditious plot to overturn the 2016 election. The Benghazi fiasco and cover-up. Clinton’s mysterious e-mail server and the shenanigans around it. How can we forget old Jeffrey Epstein, the mysterious character, who apparently died by magic? Now we come to the best caper so far. The party appears to have rigged the Iowa Caucus, in order to deny Bernie Sanders a victory. They will have results, eventually, but there will be no big live rally or press conference for him. Maybe they post the results wherever they place the obituaries now. The results don’t matter anyway, as the media will now pretend the Dancing Queen is the savior. Who knows, maybe they rig the results to declare him the official winner.

There can be few ironies greater than nominating Bernie Sanders after spending two years of accusing Trump of being too friendly with the Russians.

The Democrats’ Unserious Week Iowa made them look the one way a great party cannot afford to look: unserious. The lack of professionalism, the incompetence is the kind of thing that not only shocks a party but shadows it. They can’t run a tiny caucus in a tiny state but they want us to believe they can reinvent American health care? Monday night when the returns were supposed to be coming in, it was like the debut of ObamaCare when the website went down.

Trump’s new nuclear weapon has been deployed WASHINGTON — A new nuclear warhead requested, designed and produced under the Trump administration, has been deployed aboard a nuclear submarine, the Pentagon confirmed Tuesday.

They mean by ‘climate change’ the conjunction of the following distinct claims. The Earth’s climate is changing.

The change is irreversibly in the direction of higher and higher temperatures of the Earth’s oceans and land masses. The change is catastrophic for life on Earth. It is so catastrophic that extreme measures must be taken immediately, for example, the measures outlined in “The Green New Deal.” The catastrophic change is imminent or near-immanent: such as to occur in 10-15 years. The etiology of this catastrophic change is well-understood. It is largely man-made: the anthropogenic causal factors are not minor, but major: they dwarf non-anthropogenic factors such as solar activity. The specific cause of anthropogenic climate change is also well-understood: carbon emissions.

Now ask yourself: how plausible is this conjunction of claims? Bear in mind that a conjunctive proposition is true if and only each of its conjuncts is true.

Students demanded divestment from fossil fuels, a professor offered to turn off the gas heating Two students at St John’s College wrote to Andrew Parker, the principal bursar, this week requesting a meeting to discuss the protesters demands, which are that the college declares a climate emergency and immediately divests from fossil fuels. They say that the college, the richest in Oxford, has £8 million of its £551 million endowment fund invested in BP and Shell. Professor Parker responded with a provocative offer. “I am not able to arrange any divestment at short notice. But I can arrange for the gas central heating in college to be switched off with immediate effect. Please let me know if you support this proposal.”

Skilled Tradesmen vs Journalists – The average tradesman is much more intelligent than the average journalist – especially at STEM skills. If any of those snotty journalists ever actually observed the tradesmen who make our lives possible, they would be shocked to learn how much math and science is required to do their jobs. Carpenters, plumbers, and electricians are employing science and math in their jobs all day long. Can you imagine a journalist trying to understand amperes? Of course they couldn’t. Yet because they can identify Ukraine on a map they think they’re smarter than an electrician.

They Wanna Keep You In Chains – It is not just American blacks they wish to enslave. It’s all of us. They want us chained to an all powerful centralized government who will decide what we need, what we can say, what we can do, what we can eat and what we can think and how we should spend what lives we have, and when those lives will end. And it’s not even just Americans. They just think the resources they’ll get if they take over America will help them take over the rest of the world, till the seething, purposeless pile of humanity has a new purpose: to provide those at the top (and they all think they’ll be at the top, Uncle Joe with some justification, given his life experience) with all their dreams and desires, no matter how crazy or perverse.

Stuyvesant High Versus China Rail, by Fred Reed Here is the foundation of American culture: envy. Historically whites have been more successful than blacks, men than women, Christians than Muslims, and the smart than the less so. The lower halves of these pairs now strive to pull down the upper halves. “If I can’t understand algebra, then nobody can study algebra.”

    The whole climate change scam was concocted by the elite grifters as a way of gaining power and taking wealth from the masses. It is nothing more than that. It uses a powerful meme that everyone must be “for” and if you are not for it than you can easily be showed to be a fool and a far right Nazi. This is exactly like the meme the left uses and has used so effectively in the past, i.e. racism. If you are not in favor of their latest money grabbing legislation with a political correct sounding title THEN you must be a racist and your opinion is worthless. SO the climate change meme is following this well worn path and if you are not in favor of the Green New Deal you are a far right flat earther who doesn’t agree with settled science. You must be ostracized and silenced, perhaps even re-educated in camps. This classic leftist tactic and Saul Alinsky would be so proud of them.

    “It is not just American blacks they wish to enslave”

    Who is this “they” who wishes to enslave American blacks?

    The animus is directed solely at whites. POC’s need not apply,

    About the psycologist lecturing on whiteness. “He is a founding member of The Green Gang, a group of psychoanalysts and scientists addressing the issue of climate-change denial.”
    Are there really people that deny the climate changes other that Michael Mann? If you recall his hockey stick graph, he showed the climate perfectly constant until the last century.

    Your local greenhouse wants to maintain a co2 level of 1500ppm because the plants didn’t thrive at the outside level of co2. So they install CO2 generators, deliberately!
    Climate change (actual) involves sunspots and millennia old deep ocean currents. And things that we don’t really quite understand.
    But you can’t hijack the worldwide industrial economy with sunspots. Or have an excuse to steal such huge sums of money or frighten people into giving you control, politically.
    So we have this constant BS about ” carbon “. The politicians lie about it (those that are in the know, not the idiots), the media lie about it; and if they had it in their power they would punish those of us that refuse to believe their lies and try to speak out. In some places they have that power, and they do punish the “Deniers”.

    Never thought I’d live to see the day when something this stupid could have so much power in this country.

    oh sh!t that’s funny. Russian collusion: bad. Bernie the Soviet: good.

    The irony. It burns.

    Lucky Melania, having the opportunity to visit Wyoming. And lucky Wyoming, having Melania as a visitor.
