"That seems to be a general rule of Leftism: it most harms those it claims to be most concerned about. However, Leftist narcissists like Marina Hyde aren’t interested in the consequences of their Leftism. Decent people don’t mention black criminality — except to blame it on Whitey. But decent people do gloat over bestial savagery when it is inflicted on a deserving target. After the Boer nationalist Eugene Terre’Blanche was hacked to death by blacks on his own farm, Marina Hyde and an Iranian comedian called Omid Djalili openly gloated at the news on BBC radio."

"So hiring Americans might not be so much about love of country, but needing workers who can understand 'cultural and political context' to perform ideological censorship. That much, of course, is a departure from the common industry practice of Third World exploited labor so they can pay the absolute lowest wages possible. Someone from Bangalore might not get what 'small hats' means, realize that a picture of George Floyd holding a banana is highly irreverent, or understand naughty memes."

"Mattel has recently released a list of 419 words that it no longer deems suitable for Scrabble players worldwide.

It’s no coincidence that these are 419 of the most enjoyable words in the English language."

"The film, based on the novel I Hear Them Sing by Ferdinand Meyer, emphasizes over and over a quiet but no less serious struggle between the communal life of this small town and the stresses and duties it places on the individual."

"10:00 AM. Already at my artisan desk, made from sustainable balsa wood and, although inclined to wobble a bit and sort of snap and shit, still planet-loving. This is not a good start to an organizer’s day! The Vietnamese co-operative who put bamboo lining on the trans safe space have sent an invoice. Funny how capitalism seems to work for everyone but poor countries."

"Dougherty’s family narrative may be somewhat vaporous, but it’s really just a framing device for the real meat of the book. He has very firm ideas about some things. He’s a believing, practicing Catholic (that should be redundant, but in the Biden era, it seems it’s not). He’s never managed to become fluent in Irish Gaelic, but he’s a firm believer in making the effort, even though almost no one in Ireland has been fluent for 200 years."

"What is it that causes South American regimes to be so ferocious? Barbarism, cruelty, torture occur anywhere of course. However, South American dictatorships are notable for the suddenness and ferocity of their measures, measures that seem to flare up unexpectedly. Sometimes they seem to flare up out of nowhere and out of all proportion to the strength of the foe they are seeking to crush. It is a short way from comic opera to horror. Pinochet is a case in point."

"Now that Chinese Communism has shed its international scaffolding, such brainwashing is but the icing on the cake of a comprehensive program of enchinoisement. In the old days, success was measured by the ability of the survivors of such schooling to mumble “dialectical materialism” at the appropriate time and place. Today, the job is not finished until a half-Han baby has been wrought in the womb of a Uyghur woman."

"I’m not sure what exactly the purpose of doing these public marches is. If they go perfectly, the media ignores them. If they go poorly, they become national news stories. If they go perfectly, they are temporary morale boosts for our side which are forgotten about in a couple of weeks. If they go poorly, they become public relations disasters that haunt you for years. It’s like flipping a coin: if it’s heads, you get 10 cents, and if it comes up tails, you have to pay $10,000."

"Thinking that intelligent people are altruistic is naïve. Research indicates that intelligent people conform to cultural constructs because they are more appreciative of the benefits of social conformity. Intelligent people are unlikely to sabotage their goals to promote the long-term success of a country when it is improbable that low-IQ people will embrace reform."

"Now these red-blooded, all-American men are getting a full dose of poz any time they turn on the NFL — or any other professional sport, for that matter. Every major sports league now pumps out more gay propaganda than reruns of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Sports fans have to accept it if they want to watch the big game and cheer on their favorite players. Sports fandom is no longer a healthy bro activity — it’s pretty damn gay."

"Now, there’s a lot of hand-wringing about the difference between equality and equity. Some people will have you believe that equality is equality of opportunity and that is the good kind of equality and that equity is equality of outcome, and this is the bad kind of equality. This is wrong in many ways."

"They even trot out dubious and unverifiable hypotheses such as 'conflict theory, strain theory, general strain theory, social disorganization theory, macrostructural opportunity theory, social control theory, and subcultural theory' in their desperate clawing to avoid awarding black males the criminological equivalent of the Stanley Cup."
