Before I moved to Florida to become a falangist, I lived in West Korea (California) and 90% of churches had the BLM and Rainbow flags outside. I’m not even religious but it bothered me. The people had been conquered without a fight

Funny stuff Yuri. I'd laugh harder if this wasn't such a serious matter.

Keeping our senses of humor is critical to navigating these bizarre times. Seize the memes of production and mock the regime until it implodes.

What I feel sorriest about, as a reader for a good bit of time now, is how your sense of humor seems to have been entirely subsumed by savage contempt.

Plenty for all of us to be enraged about to be sure. But you've got a lovely voice too and it shows up so rarely these days.

I try to balance lighter and heavier posts, but understand if it's not for everyone. Thanks for your candid feedback and support.

I *do* support you though it may seem otherwise.

When you are surrounded by aggressive and vindictive "progressives," their statements can frequently inspire resentment. I live in San Francisco and cannot even post on NextDoor without being called a conspiracy theorists by many of the elite who live here. It does get frustrating. Just sayin'.

Today in my local NextDoor there were many progressives shaming a woman who lives in public housing. The woman was upset that her neighbors have been shooting, assaulting others, stealing and disrupting the neighborhood for years with no consequences. She was accused of being racist and privileged because even though she's poor and lives in the ghetto, she still has it better because of her skin. The commenters suggested she should be advocating for reparations and more support for her violent neighbors instead of wanting help from the police.

Sounds just like the harpies in San Francisco.

I know many of the reparations folks in San Francisco from the black community. IMHO they’ve created this proposal only because they have single-handedly fucked up on their own, through their own arrogance and laziness. One other way of trying to make easy money in the past involved their use of equity loans. Why not just give up your shelter for a Tesla, drugs, hookers and Vegas? Sounds like a plan.

I still keep an office in SF. Every year the building does a group photo for a holiday card. A couple years ago the group photo had everyone wearing their masks, holding up their vax cards, with a BLM logo behind them. I didn’t attend the photo shoot.

A further note:

It might be wise to deal with all of them as one would an intelligent but poorly-trained dog. Getting angry serves no purpose. Sensible dispassion in employing firmness with clear consequences for bad behavior, applied consistently without anger.

Real discipline is missing everywhere, on all sides. Loving parents and caregivers don't punish, they discipline. Consequences must always fit the transgression--no more, no less.

It's hard; I'm not a temperate person. I learned to be through parenthood.

Driving most if not all the bad behavior is a terrible emptiness and lack of structure. One sees that for example with Trump. What he might have been is not what he lets himself be. He's what happens to neglectfully- and cruelly-raised children. They don't ever grow up.

Too many people on each of the most polarized sides are afraid to think deeply about anything they've persuaded themselves to believe. There's plenty done wrong by most. Most don't want real freedom for others. They want to impose their own visions of rightness.

It's a miracle, considering the hatreds and dissensions within the group that became the Founders, that they managed to craft something so wise and so durable. Those weren't peaceful conventions. But they made something greater than themselves.

That's what ought to be said to, for example, people who want to do all that tearing down of statues and the renaming of institutions. It's not the flawed people we celebrate but what they made despite their worst selves. Can we do it? Everything depends on the strength of common sense.

I make angry face about almost everything these days. It's just ruining the lovely contours of my visage.

Crochet is also a wonder drug for the ages. But I may proudly declare that the sambac jasmine plant I bought at Home Depot in 2003 in NY still lives against all odds on light it gets through the window even in New England winters and my grown-from-seed lemon trees are still hanging on too. Indoors, outdoors--so long as we can grow a bit of green.

It's the children we need to get to fastest. Do a bulk order of Miriam Norton's "The Kitten Who Thought He Was a Mouse."

Learning to deal with painful truths, and accepting ourselves and others without trying to deny our own differences, is a good place to start off any kid's education.

I hope every young couple against this madness is fruitful and multiplies. Have more children. The inmates running the asylum are going to eventually breed themselves out. More and more are choosing to have dogs instead of kids.

YOU MUST BE A MIXED RACE COUPLE --from previous post--implying this is in fact a negative

Advocate for segregation by race--implying this in fact a negative

You have a point of view here?

Expand full comment

In the audio I stated that everyone can love who they want. I have no problem with mixed race couples, many of my friends are in them. I was simply observing, as many commentators have, that they are overrepresented in advertising. DEI is all about race essentialism and segregation.

Expand full comment

Speaking of over representation, you should go check out the kids’ section of a public library these days. I took my kids to one recently and if you judged by the book covers, every kid in America is a non-binary POC. Even books about little cartoon bunnies had bunnies that celebrated Kwanzaa. I’m happy that there is some diversity, but wypipo still exist too

Expand full comment

These two books will teach any kid anywhere anything they need to understand about diversity and inclusion (but most of all about love):

https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Family-Michael-Capua-Books/dp/0062059041

Activists today are writing tracts and not stories. Used book stores are the weaponry of a healthy and sensible resistance.

edit: Not just for kids, mind you. Any grownup who isn't in tears by the end of each story ain't got no heart worth speaking of. This is literature at its finest.

There was a spot-on cartoon I saw on Twitter a couple of years ago: "RIP White People in Commercials."

But hey. They're simultaneously using British and Australian voice-overs to try and sell us stuff too. They ain't figured out what side they want to be on.

I would rather not spend the time to engage on this. I pick my battles wisely. Ok, I won't block you this time.

This entire post is like looking in the mirror for you. If you are offended by the npc meme and regurgitate corporate media, you should do some reflection on why you think you’re part of the resistance.

We have gun crime in Canada. Gangs in quarters of my city smuggled them from across the border. Trudeau, who once said he would never take guns away from law abiding citizens with registered guns, did just that. He took away long-barrel rifles from hunters that live in rural areas, as the criminals keep looting and killing innocent people. A mother was recently shot by a gang member in a nice residential neighbourhood. Trudeau uses working-class white men as a scapegoat for everything and acts like he’s saving the country. We are doomed.
