Here’s the thing, though. I went to YouTube to look up this video (some people can’t see embedded twitter vids), and found a number of “fight at Golden Corral” videos. One wonders at such a thing. Conclusions? Draw your own. Is Golden Corral the harbinger of collapse? Or does Chuck E. Cheese still hold the reins on that dubious distinction?
We’ve all seen the videos of scumbags loading up in stores and just marching right out, knowing that the employees can’t stop them. The thing I’ve always wondered… sure, the employees can’t do squat, but what about the bystanders?
I ain’t a Christian. I also do not like magic (as in the fictional supernatural stuff, not what Penn & teller do on stage). And yet… I’ve been a fan of the Lord of the Rings and associated works since the 80’s. The LotR books are slopping over with obvious and not so obvious Christian themes and ideas, and with wizards and magic and such… and they’re awesome, because they’re well written and, importantly, *not* *stupid.* I do not have to be an adherent to a particular religion to recognize when someone is drawing inspiration from it.
My recommendation is to give the article linked above a pass (it is, after all, likely mere click- and rage-bait, designed to drive traffic by claiming something so fundamentally stupid that you’ll go there to rage-read, comment and drive up ad revenue) and go straight to the YouTube debunking of this nonsense:
The developed world is being flooded with “migrants.” This is far beyond deniable at this stage. The only debatable questions are “why is this happening,” “why does it continued to be allowed,” and “is it too late to do anything about it other than hope Elon Musk makes interplanetary colonization possible before the influx of the third world into the first destroys the ability of civilization to survive out in space.”
The fact that such a large percentage of the “migrants” are young males says a lot about the goals of the endeavor. The lands they leave behind are populated with their women and children; those lands will continue to be what they have been. The lands they enter will be colonized and changed; far too many are stories of “migrants” who attack locals, get arrested and then receive leniency – or are outright released – because their savagery is part of their original culture, and Obama forbid that host nations expect immigrants to adapt.
A smidge of hypocrisy:
European edition:
I do, however, have a compromise to deal with *all* of the worlds problems. The first video claims that the media focus on Ukraine/Russia is to divert attention from the ongoing invasion of the US. Well, maybe. Thing is, Russia invading Ukraine would be a bad thing regardless. So… my idea: scoop up a few dozen million of these military age male migrants. The US has a lot to spare, as does France, Britain, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, etc. Gather them all together in staging areas, and if Russia invades Ukraine or China invades Taiwan, drop these conscripts into the war zone. Hell, maybe even arm a few of them with bolt action rifles or something. Let them be useful, rather than cultural, financial and demographic drags on their host nations.
“Lunar new year doesn’t officially begin until February 1…”
Ummm… “lunar new year” isn’t a thing in the US. It’s certainly not a holiday, nor is it in any way “official.” New year in the US is January 1, full stop. Was this email meant for China, or some other backwards region that erroneously links the year to the Moon rather than the Sun?
Remember when it was announced last year that the graves of hundreds of indigenous children were found on the grounds of a Canadian Catholic school? Wellllll…..
Someday, humanity might evolve to the point where not every single accusation against western civilization is automatically believed by the media and the politicians and the activists before there’s any actual evidence. Sadly, we’re still at the monkey-throwing-its-own-poop stage of evolution, it seems.
So, as Los Angeles and other localities allow criminality to skyrocket, new stories get crazier and crazier. Recently it was reported how trains are being robbed in broad daylight, with the thieves turning the region into a third world garbage pit. It got worse: the same spot saw a train derail, possibly because of all the garbage left on the tracks:
The local and state government have proven wholly unwilling to deal with the issue. But trains are almost definitionally inter-state commerce, so couldn’t the federal government swoop in? Granted, that would require that the FBI be able and willing to do its job, the Justice Department willing to prosecute *actual* criminals, the government as a whole being full of people willing to uphold the Constitution and their oaths of office. So… yeah, maybe not so likely to happen, or at least happen effectively. But at least theoretically, shouldn’t the FBI, ATF, IRS, DOT and just about every other Alphabet Agency be on the job here, ready to swoop in, snatch train robbers, and send them to some FPMITA Prison for a term of decades?
A lot of the cultural depredations that have occurred in recent years, egged on by the cesspits of social media, might in some small way be reversed if massive lawsuits such as this, and Rittenhouse/Sandmann’s suits against the media, politicians and celebrities who slandered them, are successful. Lightening the wallets of fabulously rich individuals and organizations who think nothing of trying to destroy the lives and legacies of regular folk is a laudable goal, if a probably unlikely one.
And yet I can define a sphere. One way to define it: “an object in three dimensional space with a single surface, every point on the surface being the same distance from a single 3D point.” Or, “a three-dimensional object that has the property of any 2-dimensional slice through it, no matter the angle, being a circle.” Or… “a ball.” Many ways to define the same thing. What’s the point of this silly exercise? Madness, that’s what. Society is being turned upside down to coddle silly weirdos who believe that a humans cannot define something that they are not.
Requisite virtue signalling: you want to be trans, you go right ahead. No skin off my nose if you want to dress up as something you’re not, or take hormones, or have surgeries. Knock yourself out. But when you start telling me that I have to *not* see such things as strange, that I have to change the way I speak and *think,* and that the stupid, ill-formed notions of *children* need to be taken as divine writ… bite me. Some six-year-old declares that he is a she? Uh-huh. I vaguely recall that when I was that age I wanted to be and/or was a squirrel. Such things are to be expected from children, who are largely loaded down with truckloads of imagination and a ziplock baggie of experience and data.
I retain the suspicion that if certain relatively recent changes to the chemistry of food and the environment in the US – the weird hormone-simulants in plastics, birth control pills and the like in the water supply, corn syrup in everything, Odin knows what all in pollutants, etc. – a lot of this trans-mania will fade away. This will leave a lot of people looking at themselves and wondering “what have I done?”
And then the question will be: if changing the composition of plastics will lead to the “deletion” of 90% of a currently favored group by making those people not want to be a part of that group anymore, but to be normal again… will changing that plastic now be considered tantamount to genocide?
