I like her deployment of the Spoiled We. Not the Royal We, the Spoiled We. Because when she says we could “feed the Natives,” she means “someone else, definitely not me, could feed the Natives.”

In a previous post on Suicidalism, I identified some of the most important of the Soviet Union’s memetic weapons. Here is that list again:
-
There is no truth, only competing agendas.
-
All Western (and especially American) claims to moral superiority over Communism/Fascism/Islam are vitiated by the West’s history of racism and colonialism.
-
There are no objective standards by which we may judge one culture to be better than another. Anyone who claims that there are such standards is an evil oppressor.
-
The prosperity of the West is built on ruthless exploitation of the Third World; therefore Westerners actually deserve to be impoverished and miserable.
-
Crime is the fault of society, not the individual criminal. Poor criminals are entitled to what they take. Submitting to criminal predation is more virtuous than resisting it.
-
The poor are victims. Criminals are victims. And only victims are virtuous. Therefore only the poor and criminals are virtuous. (Rich people can borrow some virtue by identifying with poor people and criminals.)
-
For a virtuous person, violence and war are never justified. It is always better to be a victim than to fight, or even to defend oneself. But ‘oppressed’ people are allowed to use violence anyway; they are merely reflecting the evil of their oppressors.
-
When confronted with terror, the only moral course for a Westerner is to apologize for past sins, understand the terrorist’s point of view, and make concessions.
This sounds like today’s Democrats.

The IPCC is still wrong on climate change. Scientists prove it.
The IPCC is a political organization, not a scientific body. It was formed by the United Nations in 1988 for the purpose of establishing the need for a global solution to the alleged problem of anthropogenic climate change. Note that the mission of the IPCC was never to study the causes of climate change; were that the case, it might have devoted some of its billions of dollars in revenues over the years to examining solar cycles, changes in ocean currents, the sensitivity of climate to greenhouse gases, or the planet’s carbon cycle. The IPCC has spent trivial sums on these issues, and the authors of and contributors to its voluminous reports have few or no credentials in these fields.
Fake scientists.

Our Progressive Future: Folsom Street Fair – Moonbattery
San Francisco’s Folsom Street Fair shows us what the future will look like if liberals keep winning the Culture War.
For poet Maryann Leilani Wood, 42, “the playground,” a fenced-off area for women as well as transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals, was invaluable. Everyone was welcome in the zone except cis-men, or those who were assigned the male gender at birth and still identify that way.
Inclusion is very important to moonbats, but there is no need to go overboard and be inclusive even toward men who admit they are men.

The Strange Career of White Privilege | National Review
One of the strangest elements of the American obsession with superficial appearance is the habit of very well connected and affluent whites faulting poor whites for their “white privilege.” It has become a sort of rite-of-passage virtue-signaling in which rich, white college students at tony universities damn white privilege and the supposedly racist, nativist, xenophobic, and sexist Trump Neanderthals. With this, they establish their spiritually pure fides or, more practically, earn a sort of insurance policy in case the all-seeing eye of the diversity tower turns its focus on them someday.
Donald Trump rode to victory in part on the furor of voters in the Midwest and rural states who were derided for their privilege (though they did not seem to have much) by those who most certainly did enjoy privilege.
I’ve been homeless for over a year. Where’s my privilege?

5 Stages Of Decline After A Society Becomes Infected By Feminism
Stage 4 feminism profoundly affects the reproductive life cycle of individuals even beyond stage 3 dysfunction. Heterosexual activity is discouraged: cockblocking, “street harassment” rhetoric, dreadful lies about “rape culture“, etc. Unfounded accusations obtain great publicity; when discovered to be false, there are no consequences for the accuser.
I’m reminded of my favorite Robert Stacy McCain quote:
“The reason why feminists think all men are stupid is because no intelligent man would ever waste time talking to a feminist.”
They’re mentally ill. Stay away from all feminists.

The Problem with Gay Marriage
Moreover, to contend, as same-sex couples do, that they can adopt children or rely on sperm donors merely accentuates the paradox, for they reveal themselves as dependent on precisely the sexual fertility which they forsake and the procreative function they have renounced.
Homosexual ‘marriage’ lacks diversity. If you’re too much alike, one of you is unnecessary. Homosexuals are unnecessary… period.

San Francisco Bans Everything
Why ban straws? Because straws, according to the San Francisco ordinance, “may threaten public health” and are bad for the environment? Piles of human waste in the street are great for public health and the environment. But a Chicago medical association disagreed and cancelled its planned conference.
When Chicago thinks your city is dirty and dangerous hellhole, you really have a problem.

Feminists now demanding ‘menstrual equity’
And now liberals are claiming that the tax on tampons should be lifted since only women pay the tax.
What bullsh*t. My wife never paid the tax. I did. As a bonus, I also paid for the tampons.
