    SWJ explained:

    https://static.theintercept.com/…
    I was reading this funny story about Alex Morse, a progressive, openly gay American politician, youngest mayor of Holyoke at age 22. He was teaching some course at University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he also was having sex with his students (whom he met on Grindr, not in his classroom, and the sex was fully consensual).

    The sex itself was not a problem, he was fired for the following reason: When these students, after having received a diploma, may want a career in politics in the future, and therefore they could not take a decision to refuse him, because their career prospects depend on it.

    https://taibbi.substack.com/p/th…
    The New Puritans
    "This is not a sexual harassment issue in the classic sense of someone who actually has power over someone else, for instance in the workplace or in a classroom. The concept here is that students who might “wish to enter progressive politics” will feel uncomfortable refusing, or even just not answering, so mighty a personage as the Mayor of Holyoke, Massachusetts, for fear of what that might do to their job prospects someday, in a field they have not even chosen yet.

    Therefore, just as a child or, say, a St. Bernard cannot consent to sex, neither apparently can an adult college student with an uncertain job future.

    But the most grotesque part of the story is the obsessive/delusional misunderstanding of “power,” which after years of intersectional propaganda has become the primary lens through which young progressives see the world. Constant preaching that all human interactions are political contests, with one side always getting the better of the other, has made a whole generation phobic about adulthood."

    SWJ and the new left-winged puritanism explained in one sentence: fear of adulthood, fear of being free and fear of being responsible for your own decisions


    http://www.uncarved.org/pol/irat…
    "The formation of the authoritarian structure takes place through the anchoring of sexual inhibition and sexual anxiety. (...) The result of this process is fear of freedom and a conservative, reactionary mentality. Sexual repression aids political reaction not only through this process which makes the mass individual passive and unpolitical but also by creating in his structure an interest in actively supporting the authoritarian order. The suppression of natural sexual gratification leads to various kinds of substitute gratifications. Natural aggression, for example, becomes brutal sadism which then is an essential mass-psychological factor in imperialistic wars."

    "The trainers insist that white males must “work hard to understand” their “white privilege,” “male privilege,” and “heterosexual privilege.” They claim that white men benefit from positive stereotypes that “far outweigh the Tim McVeighs and Ted Kaczynskis of white maleness.”

    Next, the white male employees must expose the “roots of white male culture,” which consists of “rugged individualism,” “a can-do attitude,” “hard work,” and “striving towards success”—which sound good, but are in fact “devastating” to women and POCs.

    In fact, the trainers claim that “white male culture” leads to “lowered quality of life at work and home, reduced life expectancy, unproductive relationships, and high stress.” It also forces this “white male standard” on women and minorities.

    In a subsequent session, the white males must publicly recite a series of “white privilege statements” and “male privilege statements.” They must accept their complicity in the white male system and their role in creating oppressions.

    Finally, as the reeducation camp concludes, the white males must write letters “directed to white women, people of color, and other groups regarding the meaning of this Caucus experience.” They apologize for their “privilege” and pledge to become “better [allies].”"

    Transgender patients are at greater risk of complications since most treatments and drugs rely on the patients male or female biology and not what they identify with.

    I saw that in the DM a few days back and didn't bother with it then, and I'm certainly not going to bother with it from RT.

    Amusingly, there's a link down the page to something else we should all be outraged about - "2+2=Oppression" and which I just happened to read this morning is actually a load of shit*

    Turns out - the problem is mostly down to people not reading Abstracts or Papers, or failing that, not even reading a good summmary, or fialing that, not even a bad summary, or failing that - perhaps barely even the Tweet they could barely manage to consume before frothing with rage.

    .

    * Quoted from someone much smarter than I:

    "Recently there was a brouhaha on the Twitters about 2+2=5 that went viral and, unfortunately, political. The argument is that post-modernists are trying to tear down mathematics as a "white supremacist social construct" and trying to say that "2+2=5" is as valid an answer as "2+2=4". Which sounds pretty bad, so I looked into it.

    The original Tweet thread was a math nerd who jokingly, and not incorrectly, illustrated how it was mathematically possible for 2+2 to sometimes be 5. The argument may have been weak, and some people may not have found it convincing, but it was a mathematical argument, meant as a joke for a small Twitter audience.

    Through the Twitter telephone, many retweets and steps later, the original argument - considered, funny, valid, perhaps weak - somehow transformed into "2+2=4 is a mere social construct, and 5 is a valid answer" - which, yes, would be a disturbing trend if that were actually the argument. Thus the unduly passionate took up "2+2 is 4 not 5" as a political rallying cry. People I otherwise respect as rational began tweeting this.

    It became complicated because there are always people who believe dumb things, like "mathematics is merely a white supremacist social construct", and as always with the unduly passionate, extreme opinions are held up as examples of dangerously typical. The author of the original thread was bullied by a mob."

    "During the Middle Ages, many nuns were forced into convents by their parents and often stressed by a lifestyle not of their own choosing — one that demanded celibacy, poverty and hard manual labor. Two especially bizarre cases of mass hysteria involved meowing and biting nuns.

    In the first case, a nun in a large French convent began meowing one day. Soon others joined in, and eventually every nun in the convent was meowing. The noise became structured; all of the nuns would meow together for several hours at the same time every day. The neighbors could hear the collective caterwauling and were understandably annoyed. Eventually the nuns quieted down after being threatened with a beating by soldiers."

    While googling the rising share of incels..,

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me…

    "Members of MGTOW communities track their engagement with the ideology with a four- or five-level model, which ranges from level zero to level four.

    Level zero members are said to be "situationally aware", meaning they have "taken the red pill" and accept some of the tenets of MGTOW ideology, such as that "gender equality is a lie".[7] They are sometimes described as "purple pilled" by those who believe they are partway between red- and blue-pilled, and level zero MGTOW members still believe marriage is worthwhile.[31][32][10]

    Level one MGTOW members abstain from long-term relationships, cohabitation, and marriage, but will still participate in shorter term relationships and sexual encounters.[7][31][32][10]

    Those who are at level two also abstain from short-term relationships and sexual encounters.[7][31][10]

    Level three MGTOW members attempt to reduce their economic engagement with society, and level four members disengage from society completely.[7][31][10]

    A four-level version of this model combines levels three and four into the fourth and final level, and describes such disengagement with the state and society as "going ghost"."

    Which level is you, dear reader?

    Author of "In Defense of Looting”, published in august.
    Vicky Osterweil, formerly William Osterweil.

    Tl;dr: Property is racism, because all property belongs to white people. Looting is good, because it combats racism and challenges class society, and the best entertainment for the masses is "controlled arson".

    Osterweil uses Korean store owners during the 1992 Los Angeles riots as an illustration of white cisgender male racism at the forefront of white suprematism.

    The most natural reaction to this book would be "if resisting robbery is racism, then I'm racist and I'm proud of it", but you can't say that in America, and so the Americans continue to marinate in their suppressed "racist" urges.

    All Trump has to do is to give a sign, and he will win by a landslide.
    And this is exactly what will happen

    “Wokefishing”, put simply, is when people masquerade as holding progressive political views to ensnare potential partners. A wokefish may at first present themselves as a protest-attending, sex-positive, anti-racist, intersectional feminist who drinks ethically sourced oat milk and has read the back catalogue of Audre Lorde, twice. But in reality, they don’t give a shit. Or, as is often the case, they are actively the opposite in their personal lives.
