"Do You Condemn,...?" Is A 'Purity Test' (From The World's Self-Selected Fascists)

 

 Joe Rogan's the kind of person who would buy, and - even more rare - openly admit to buying, Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard.

   

 Jon Stewart's the kind of person who would openly say, almost without irony, Democrats don't hate America, "they hate room-temperature yoga."

   

 As Christopher Hitchens remains the kind of person whose work dies with him, so the world can play with it's toys.

Restraining Orders (All Around)

 

 Jon Stewart admitted the creation of Israel was a 'humiliation' for the Arabs. 

   

 He doesn't wrestle with how, or why, but just how to make the Arabs accept their humiliation. 

   

 So the murderous Zionists can carry on, arrogantly believing their hideous nonsense. 

   

 Which isn't as good an answer as simply ending the Zionist's evil apartheid regime. 

   

 Feminists have been trying the exact same diversionary trick. 

   

 And - just like with the Palestinians - the world may be, finally, catching on.

More Proof That Punxsutawney Phil Just Saw His Shadow

 

 Jon Stewart's Daily Show return felt great. All warm and fuzzy; very comfortable and familiar. It was so good, it felt necessary. Like the country needed it. Like the country needed him. Yes, nine months before an election, for a few minutes, the country seemed to need Jon Stewart more than either of the current candidates for president. Jon Stewart for president, maybe?

   

 But then, of course, the show tried to turn serious, and that re-started something else, that's all too very comfortable and familiar: screaming at the TV. Wondering what an idiot he can be, sometimes. AND wondering if he swallows the bullshit he preaches, or is this comedian, on Comedy Central, only really about the comedy, and putting on a show, for mere entertainment, in the end? 

   

Which should snap anyone out of it: yes, the joke is all there is - remember? Jon Stewart may be back, but The Daily Show is still a hack, so - no matter what else his return may mean in the end - ultimately, it all comes down to this: the next nine months in the United States just got a whole lot longer. Because, now - along with everything else - there'll be somebody else, who's unavoidable, goosin' us in the ribs, as our lives crumble around us. And he's a professional gooser. 

Oh joy. 

Who could ask for anything more?

Conservatives Love The Black-On-Black Talking Point Of Comparing Police's Conduct To That Of Gangsters



They seem to think the black-on-black crime meme is pretty effective.



Until it's mentioned police are held to a higher standard than criminals. 


Which was a point - despite Giuliani and other Rightist's ignorance - that's been made, over and over again, since a long time ago:

And, it's only because TV allows idiots to be treated as credible, that we're finding it so "exhausting" to keep doing so,....

Jon Stewart Is Making A List Of Innocent Things Black People Do That Look Suspicious To Police And Right Wing Media While Loudly Insisting They're Not Racist


As Stewart reads the list, and you can hear the naysayers claiming Jim Crow's not true, add in a little context:


Awww, but that was back when the cops were slave catchers and whatnot. It's the difference between those two lists (who drinks from a whiskey flask anymore?) that police, and their conservative brethren in the media, demand blacks salute - as whites "making progress".

And,yes - no matter how long it takes for whites to get there - blacks are supposed to be happily! buying their bullshit, while waiting for this progress to arrive (sooooome day) and whites continue pulling this shit, facing nothing worse than a few jokes being made on cable.

Pull my fucking finger,...

History's The Mystery White Americans Hold Near/How Can They Be Our Nazis? And Why Act Like That Here?


Push 'Em Back, Push 'Em Back, Waaaay Back!

There's a reason so many white Americans prefer "patriotism a la carte" and Jon Stewart laid it out pretty well last night:


"Comedy is NOT pretty" - Steve Martin

You see, without context, whites can lose it, and declare "it's time to panic" one day - and then call themselves political moderates the next - because they know few will turn to history and call them on their bullshit. Consider this quote from Althouse today:



Catcalling men started the whole "smile" thing, too

Now consider this quote posted yesterday:






See the disconnect? 

Go back a little further on this "Commander In Chief" problem:



Bill O'Reilly says whites are scared

Pretty effective "theatre" of "reticence" if "the ISIS fighters are confused and don’t know where to go," huh? No, because remember, before today - absent history - Obama hasn't been doing any of it. Which is why whites won the midterms, or so they say. 


There's a long history here - and not even close to an old one

Obama says it's because nothing works. I say it's because whites were being deliberately dishonest , but that's just me. Actually, it's not just me, but anyone who actually follows the news and not the hype:




…And Ernst isn’t the only one. The reporting on the extremist politics of Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina among others was likewise very short on details about their political philosophies.


The Right said The Daily Show held an unfair advantage to swing elections - another lie

Again, unfortunately, we've got to go back to Jon Stewart for this last election's historical context:


The lunatics have taken over the asylum

So what's that all about, white people? Your much-ballyhooed policies? What are your policies, by the way?


That's a quote from The New York TimesEric Lichtblau, who's been writing about how American whites, all by their lonesome, allowed 1,000 members of The Third Reich to live in the U.S.. Another part of our history that throws context over much of what I've written, since this blog started, on the Nazi's cultural influence I've personally witnessed in this sea of white American patriotism. 


This is what made the Nazis so terrifying, but you know that

Of course, few whites have noticed, because of what Ta-Nehisi Coates called "something that any student of white supremacy in America will recognize—a strong propensity toward national amnesia". So strong, as my quotes from Ann Althouse show, whites will happily forget what they said or did a week ago, much less, what what they did over the last 20, 30, 50, 100, or 400 years, as long as it suits their we're-so-white-supremacist-we-can-let-Nazis-live-here-while-refusing-and-abusing-blacks agenda. Compare that with what the so-called "Evil Empire" did to the Nazis they had in their care:




Learning to cope with cowardice

And they're supposed to be the bad guys? Wow. Welcome to Liberty City. Or Cognitive Dissonance City. AKA the American reality.


The look you get when you realize whites can and will, literally, do anything to you

Notice how there wasn't a peep when I wrote of a business I started "repeatedly using skin heads to chase me away" in an act of pure plunder, but whites now expect me to feel something when a white gets potentially abused by blacks fighting for my rights. The hypocrisy of white supremacy is simply exhausting.


Whites would rather pay yoga instructors, to "learn" this, than pay reparations 

 If whites are now the ones also confused, by black's yawn of a reaction to the midterms, they've got to understand we've seen the homeless kicked many times before. 6 to 1. And even two Tom roll-outs - with a voter suppression campaign in full effect. Whoo-hoo for you. Big man. The Nazis got Jews to handle the dead, too. Ask your German friends. Or consult our history:


It should be mandatory to salute while standing on your head

White supremacy is what this place has always been about,...

Why It Was Surely "Time To Panic" Long Before Ebola


For good reasons (?) whites are sooooo very disappointed in this record

Poor Jon Stewart. He and I, and others like us, keep hoping for a little integrity out there, but all we get is charlatans pumping  Drudge's hype, FOX News, the ravings of  insane activist law professors (who don't care if they're wrong or even outright lying) and - when that doesn't work - another dollop of more of the same:


It's too bad because, I swear, I remember hearing whites say the internet was here to help with that,....

Bill O'Reilly Finally Admits What Most Whites Can't: They Don't Know The History Of Their Own Country



The white way of doing things:

Argue, argue, argue - discover you're wrong. Argue, argue, argue - discover you're wrong,...and repeat this cycle endlessly, while insisting it's everybody else making trouble for telling the truth.

White people eat that shit up.

BTW - when O'Reilly's guest said it was the federal government that was racist against blacks, he validated part of the case for reparations.

Thanks for THAT one, Bill.

BTW again:

Straightening out this country's massive racial problems isn't as important, to Ann Althouse, as saluting a British singer "I don't even remember"...
