Just as long as you watch out for that Lucy lady who’s in the sky with diamonds.
It’s racist when whites leave the city. When blacks leave the city, that’s white racism, too.
What isn’t?
Defending Obama’s “achievements”? Or sucking his dick?
That’s probably some kind of appropriation, which is also racism.
It’s not like black people disapear, become poor or vote Republican when they leave Chicago they probably just become safe.
White people are in all kinds of dillemas (dillemae?) these days. They’re accused of having “no culture of their own”, but when they point out things like classical music, opera, Renaissance painting, and wine production (just to name a few) those things are all shouted down as “lame-ass white people shit”. If they broaden their horizons and partake in some cultural pursuits from around the world, they’re accused of “cultural appropriation”, which makes them worse than Hitler. If they only partake in purely European cultural pursuits, they’re not being “inclusive” enough and are therefore worse than Hitler.
As it originates from Greek, the original plural would be “dilemmata”.
diliminati-
The power men behind the illuminati.
Yes. “Dilemma” from “di-” meaning two and “lemma” meaning lemming, referring to a common way disputes were settled in ancient Rhodes, when a charioteer would throw two lemmings over his shoulder and an observer would note the height and length of their bounces to determine the furthest distance.
LEMMING 1: “Oh, no, it’s a Rhodesian charioteer!”
LEMMING 2: “Restocking on lemmings to abuse!”
LEMMING 3: “Let’s get out of here!”
LEMMING 4: “Quick, over this cliff!”
Is there anything racism can’t do?
Keep the white man down?
Maybe they’re fleeing racist morons like Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th).
Wha?!? “People don’t mess with white people”?
Where do I find this magical alternate space-time reality?
What a silly negro.
“Hey, you are supposed to stay here and blindly vote for me!”
“We’ll get right on that, Alderthing.”
Wodewick?
Something tells me the pajama boys moving into that neighborhood aren’t the baseball-bat carrying type.
In Chicago, they are the Urban Commandos. Young, runner types with very large and loyal dogs. No guns, no kids. They move in, fix up a house, live there until they can sell for a whole bunch more than they paid. Repeat.
I saw a lot of the Humboldt Park area near my Guard armory go through this.
One minutes it is drunks, druggies, gang graffiti and bums. Next thing you know it is doggie day spas and Thai restaurants…
Ah. Here in NYC it’s skinny jeans and ironic facial hair.
Oh, there are some infestations of hipsters, but never as the first wave.
Video from last night of a bar in London that was attacked (I think, might of just been the cops securing the business as a precaution). At 40 seconds or so a man loses his shit and starts cursing the Muslims and at 42 seconds another man LYING ON THE FLOOR WITH HIM chides him for doing so. The Brits really are fucked.

Bavaria does have an independence movement.
Did anyone else notice that it takes 120 hours of training to get a hunting license. That’s 15 days of full-time instruction. To get a freaking hunting license.
More frauleins getting into hunting culture is a good thing, so maybe I shouldn’t be bitching, but holy fuck, 15 days?
Did anyone else get this at the bottom of that story:
My gods, what is the world coming to if Sugarfree is trending?

That did though. Is commenting using a VPN not allowed?
I do all the time. I am not sure what the issue is.

Wait, what? ZARDOZ has a body?
OMG. Styxenwhatever is fantastically boring and whiny. $10 on RazorFist strangling him with a mouse USB cord.
Styx is a smart guy who did a pretty good job of analyzing the election but his political schtick is wearing thin for me. My money’s on RF too.
The funny thing is that I think Styx is related to a dude who I grew up with in England who claimed to have family in “Northern New England”, whose family name was Warwick, and could easily be the meat-source from which Styx was cloned.
He was a weird fucker, too.
Apropos of pretty much nothing in this set of links (but related to something I posted yesterday), I have just discovered that my dementia-stricken father down in the ‘States has THIRTY-ONE long guns (15 rifles, 16 shotguns).
THIRTY.
ONE.
He’s got a Ruger .375 H&H magnum elephant gun that takes 300 grain loads. Comes with a ‘scope that makes the gun look like it was a free-with-purchase add-on. And an LC Smith shotgun that’s apparently a collector’s item.

Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of ammo.

THIRTY-ONE GUNS ARE BETTER.
MUCH, MUUUUUUCH BETTER.

I find some of those headlines . . . confusing.
If I say someone is a deer hunter, I don’t mean it’s a deer that hunts. A deer hunter is a hunter who hunts deer.

A firehouse is a type of house. A house fire is a type of fire.
Then you say, “female hunter” and show me a picture of a woman holding a rifle?

I know Zeppelin covered that song from someone else, but I couldn’t care less about the original. Zeppelin is king of the blues.
And the king of pooping in shoes
Going by your handle, I’m guessing you’re also an Aerosmith fan. They stole a bunch of old blues tunes, too. Are they also a “king of the blues” or just a prince?
Snark aside: I am a big fan of both bands. But I am also a fan of the old blues artists; the real kings of the blues. You should look into them and listen to some of their music. By not caring less about the original, you are missing out on some amazing music.
Albert King – The Hunter
YES!
My favorite King
that record (“My Feeling for the Blues”) is just wall to wall goodness
‘Zeppelin is king of the blues.’
Now you’re just trolling.

So much appropriation it hurts.
““We may lose another black alderman as some of our wards are teetering around 60 percent black. In fact, Walter Burnett’s ward is not black. We lost the second ward in the last redistricting,” Sawyer said”
49 our of Chicago’s 50 alderman are Democrats, and the only Republican on the council won with the approval and support of all the important public employee unions.
Worried about losing an alderman?
How can somebody be so confused? Why should any Democrat in that city give a crap about what the voters think? The alderman are all working for the city’s employees and their unions. If they want to go with an identity strategy, they’d be better off trying to get more blacks in union leadership positions.
Yes but that would require planning and discipline. Neither is a public employee union strength.
CNN is accused of staging scene of Muslims protesting ISIS. Multiple media outlets seem to have pictured this same small group of ‘protestors.’
*looks in garage for shocked face*
Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
Saw the “protest” on the evening news without any questioning of it at all.
I think that’s what I hate the most about the current climate. Time was, another outlet would’ve run with the question to damage CNN, to get their own “we are accurate and they’re liars!” points. but now they’re in such deep collusion MSNBC or CBS News won’t even say “hey, that protest looks awfully staged according to this other video.”
The UK tabloid press were running stories about how Muslim cab drivers gave people fleeing the manchester bombing free rides. And their story photo depicted a Sikh cabbie.
They ‘corrected’ their story afterward, but strangely had no other photo except the turbaned sikh guy. it seemed to suggest they found the snapshot on Instagram and decided to concoct some feelgood bullshit narrative around this one guy.
I don’t know what the media is thinking always trying to instantly go for the “hug a moozie!” stories in the wake of terror attacks. it just seems intellectually insulting – as though they think everyone is going to become racists overnight unless they tell people not to. people who blame moozies aren’t going to change their fucking minds over it, and the Lefty pants-wetters about Islamophobia don’t really get a huge popularity boost from it, so i don’t know what they’re trying to accomplish.
On the other hand, you have pretty major political figures trying to Blame “Brexit” for hate-speech…
So much of the left’s (and the media, but i repeat myself) steez these days is just bitter-sniping. Like the way Reuters ran a story saying, “Trump supporters hold rally” and had a photo of a filthy homeless man. I mean come the fuck on. Its so petty and cheap and accomplishes nothing.
its funny, you can see the way they’re staggering the “protestors” as though they’re being crowded from behind, and place another set of people about 20 yards farther back?
it gives the impression of depth. as tho there’s more than just that single front line of people with signs. Its forced-perspective camera trickery
seriously, you’d think in an environment where the credibility of the news media is in the toilet? that they’d *avoid* shit like this. but no. they can’t help themselves.
We may have a celebrity in our midst, this was the next article for me in the huntress article.
I saw that too, and I thought, who will post it first. Then, I shuddered.
God help the poor soul who stumbles upon Sugarfree’s blog.
Damn your quick fingers.
Any time I read a Sugarfree story I have to go to my safe place.
After reading enough SugarFree, you will realize, there are NO SAFE PLACES!!!!
*failed sanity roll*
There’s going to be some very confused and disgusted people looking for blogs about sugarfree recipes.
Oh, I dunno. If you wanna do a purge after eating sugar, Sugarfree’s blog’s probably pretty effective.
It’s OK, it will be mostly Germans – they can handle it.
I f some of the German porn I’ve seen in my life is any indication, you’re probably absolutely correct.

I’m straining a little here trying to figure out just how many wrong ways of consuming food there might be.
I mean, after “shoving the food in your mouth” which I presume is a “right way”, I’m running a bit low on inspiration …
I was wondering the same thing, but decided that was a question I’d probably rather not know the answer to.
I’m straining a little here trying to figure out just how many wrong ways of consuming food there might be.
Deep-dish. Artisanal mayonnaise.
This is how I view the commenting on the other site now.
That is a lot more fun than the real thing.
Ah, the other site; to be sure, I remember it well. But now, I can get all the nut punches I need…right here.
Oh, is this in response to anything in particular? Haven’t gone over there in a few weeks.
No, just a general insult to the socks and the lefties that infest the site now.
It’s mostly a few grim holdouts pointing out what an asshole Tony is.
But maybe now they can get Virginia Postrel back.
She actually posted something non-fashion related there recently. Within last couple of weeks I think.
Also, they posted 9 articles this weekend. There were posting 1 or 2 for an entire weekend for a while.
I stop by occasionally but I still don’t talk to Tony. I’ve always tried to ignore the trolls. They rarely ever reply to one of my comments because they know I will ignore it.
Personally I visualize it as a more extreme Detroit…back in the old days it was like the golden years from the opening of the first Ford plant to the 1950s. But then things start to change and decay, and everyone moved on to better pastures. Now it’s just a windswept urban wasteland, the storefronts are gone, the infrastructure’s falling apart, gangs and the mentally ill roam the streets. There’s a few stubborn old souls who have holed themselves up in their homes, hoarding food and ammo, but they’ll all end up consumed by that hell on earth in the long run.
Very little is more important to the White House press corps. these days than whatever Donald Trump tweets, and his exchanges with the mayor of London have been getting a lot of press. From elsewhere, I just came across this story, where Sadiq Khan, the current mayor London, had to apologize for referring to moderate Muslims as “Uncle Toms”.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3572866/Sadiq-Khan-issues-grovelling-apology-video-shows-using-Uncle-Toms-slur-against-moderate-Muslims.html
He made the comment to an Iranian news channel back when he was the Minister for Community Cohesion, an official title Orwell might have seen coming from 60 years ago.
He seems to have been referring to moderate Muslims who inform on radicals in their midst.
Charming, if old.
I was completely unaware that the people of London had elected a radical Muslim as mayor. The phrase “good and hard” comes to mind.
Minister for community cohesion? The hell do you do in that “job?”
Eliminate bad think.
I’d imagine you do what community activist types have always done – you get on a soap box to lob accusations at others and then use the threat of doing so to extort money from others. Basically, he’s the Islamic Jesse Jackson.
Judging on his comments I don’t think he was being very cohesive.
Collect a taxpayer-funded paycheck while colluding with your pals to increase said paycheck behind the voters’ backs?
But what makes it unique from any other government job?

Stanhope quotes Friedman
I suspect most of the progs in the audience laughing have no fucking clue what he’s saying. It’s a more effective lecture than what most economic professors are providing these days, I’d wager.
Nah, The head of the Econ department at my school was an Austrian economist.
off to see wonder woman
אישה מופלאה
Leave your male gaze at home! She’s a strong independent woman who wears skimpy clothes to empower herself, not to be eye-raped by men like you!
It’s a lose, lose situation. If you go see it you are objectifying women, if you don’t go see it you hate powerful women.
I prefer my women in a loose/loose situation.
I’m not looking at her ass, I’m trying to see the thing behind her ass, but her ass is in the way.
(((Wonder Woman)))
I saw it, it wasn’t too bad. They internationalized it which doesn’t bother me and it didn’t have too many SJW moments in it.
I don’t even like superhero movies, and I’d watch Gal Gadot in that outfit for 2 hours no problem.
It wasn’t bad on the SJW side. one catcalling scene, and the main guy tells em to knock it off as they walk by. but they had places to be. Didn’t need to be there, but seemed correct for the time and place.
I liked it.
Taking the kid to it next weekend. Yeah, I’m a sucker for “girl power” stuff when it comes to her.
I just read the actual article posted, and Zardoz appears to have graduated from marijuana to opium. Gate way drug?
Gateway drug? Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug. It’s the hardest of the hard drugs. At least opium has legitimate medical usages.
I warned ZARDOZ about getting stoned but he went and smoked it all instead.

Swiss Village Bans Photography to ‘Stop People Getting Jealous on Social Media’
https://heatst.com/world/swiss-village-bans-photography-to-stop-people-getting-jealous-on-social-media/
***
Citizens of Bergün, a picturesque Alpine village, passed legislation officially outlawing anyone from taking pictures of its scenery this week.
The villagers claim that their home is so attractive that images of it posted to social media by tourists were causing envy, sadness and depression in their friends back home.
A statement by the village’s local government announced the ban, which will be enforceable with a fine of 5 Swiss francs (roughly $5).
The message, posted on Bergün’s website, said:
From today on, a community-wide photographing ban comes into effect in Bergün, which comes from the heart. The new law was adopted at yesterday’s municipal assembly. The reason: photos of the picturesque landscape, which are shared on the social media, can make other people unhappy because they themselves can not be in Bergün.

That’s a neat marketing gimmic for tourism

From progs say the darndest things (with no consequences) file – MSNBC anchor says Trump is trying to provoke a terrorist attack with his Tweets condemning the London attack. Even the Dems he asks the question to refuse to take the bait.

And some idiot country elected him president!

Well knock me over with a feather: London Terrorist ‘Brainwashed’ British Children In The Park
***
One of the three jihadis behind Saturday’s terror attack in London had been reported to anti-terror police on at least two occasions, British media reported Sunday.
The suspect developed deep extremist views over the past two years, according to one of his former friends. The friend said he contacted police about comments the suspect made about previous attacks, but authorities did not move forward with an investigation.
“We spoke about a particular attack that happened and like most radicals he had a justification for anything and everything and that day I realized I needed to contact the authorities,” the unnamed friend told BBC. “I did my bit. I know a lot of other people did their bit, but the authorities did not do their bit.”
The man got increasingly radicalized by watching YouTube videos of American hate preacher Ahmad Musa Jibril.
“He used to listen to a lot of Musa Jibril,” the friend told BBC. “I have heard some of this stuff, and it’s very radical. I am surprised this stuff is still on YouTube and is easily accessible. I phoned the anti-terror hotline. I spoke to the gentleman. I told him about our conversation and why I think he was radicalized.”
Erica Gasparri, a neighbor of the suspect, claims she reported him to authorities two years ago after he began “brainwashing” her children. She confronted him when her children came home and told her they wanted “to become a Muslim.”
“He was trying to radicalize the children, he would go down to the park and talk to them about Islam,” Gasparri said, according to The Telegraph. “He also came to the houses and gave the kids money and sweets during Ramadan.”
***
Why should they listen to actual intelligence, when they have all those fun spying powers they can use?
Haven’t we heard this with almost every recent terrorist attack?
A travel ban – a temporary one at that on all of six Muslim countries – is insane. If Trump’s policy isn’t going to be terribly effective, it’s only because it isn’t an actual ban on further Muslim immigration. But international regulations on social media? That’s the ticket. The European press focuses on Youtube and Facebook, and ignores that this asshole was spewing his insanity in a public park for all to hear.
Meanwhile, some asshole at the NSA is stalking his ex-girlfriend in the some fifty unconstitutional databases they’ve built.
CNN lectures Trump on how he should respond to terrorist attacks. Tells us that he should not let fear dictate policy and recounts past wrongs. Curiously, it doesn’t mention anything post-9/11. I suspect everyone here knows why.
But the best part is where we are told what will actually work as opposed to a travel ban. Working with allies, beefing up security at ‘vulnerable’ points in cities, throwing ever more money at the intelligence apparatus, and, ironically, fighting them over there so they can’t kill us over here. You know, the same shit, only harder this time. It then ends with praise for London’s Islamist mayor.
Terror attacks like those being conducted don’t happen all that secretly. As in, the friends and family of these assholes have some idea of what’s going on. People in the communities have some idea of what’s going on, and they stay silent. It’s a very small minority doing the killing, but a far larger cultural problem in these communities where radicalization can occur and is tolerated by large numbers of Muslims if they aren’t actively sympathizing with it. Then we can move on the rampant misogyny and lack of respect for basic and fundamental rights like free speech on which many of these people also suck. Then the icing on the cake in Europe is that many of these people live on the dole.
[aside: Even London’s Islamist mayor has called out Jeremy Corbyn for being anti-Semitic and anti-Israel]
They’re not staying silent though. Both in Manchester and in this case we’ve found out that friends, relatives, and fellow worshippers have reported these guys to MI5, and they’ve just ignored it.
Agreed on the rampant misogyny and lack of respect for fundamental rights.
This ^^^
Italy has very little terrorism despite having a large Muslim population (1.4 mil) and being very close to an ISIS stronghold in Libya. Why is that? Because in Italy, if you say nice things about jihad, they throw you in prison or deport you.
There is no need to build a police state to stop terrorism. Don’t let sketchy people into your country and kick them out if you find any. That’s all you need to do.
It also helps that Italy does things like: “In January 2017 community groups representing around 70% of the Muslim community in Italy signed a pact with the government to “reject all forms of violence and terrorism” and to hold prayers in mosques in the Italian language or at least to have them translated.”
As for stopping the global jihad movement, the focus should be on the financiers, recruiters, and propagandists.
Saudi funded mosques in Western countries especially need to be brought to heel. I’m not sure if the answer to that is diplomatic (i.e. pressuring the Saudis to knock it off and go after their national elites who fund it as well) or legislative (i.e. banning the funding of mosques by Saudi/foreign entities) however.
unreal: UK man shouts “fucking Muslim cunts!” during attack; another man chides him “don’t shout that, it’s not Muslims you fucking idiot”.
That’s impressive commitment to virtue signalling.

Mainstream narratives about communism in Europe or China depict it as oppressive, gloomy, and a failure. In 1956 Soviet leader Joseph Stalin’s crimes were revealed and in the 1970s the violent aspects of Chairman Mao’s dictatorship became more widely known, resulting in many people losing their faith in “communism.” Nonetheless, whether in Europe or globally, communism was more than these dictatorships, and we need to allow for complexity and contradictions when we study its history. Many millions of women and men gave their lives in the struggles to establish or defend socialist or communist states. These states provided their male and female citizens with legal, social and economic rights and security that many people are lacking nowadays. For millions of people around the world, the Soviet Union was a land of hope. The Soviet Union had achieved impressive economic growth by the 1950s, it promoted women’s emancipation, anti-racism and anti-colonialism, and supported progressive movements worldwide. An understanding of either the Soviet Union or China as one-dimensional totalitarian and patriarchal states cannot explain their achievements in promulgating and implementing women’s rights nor does it allow us to even begin to understand where their “women-friendly” legislation and policies came from. In addition, in Asia, Latin America and Africa, the USA waged military and economic campaigns against (alleged) communism.

[kiff sigh]
Said glorious feminist Soviet Union employed a man who had women abducted off the streets and brought them to his house where he raped and murdered them. For two decades.
That wasn’t communism, that was state capitalism.
employed?! if Khrushchev and a few general buddies hadn’t sacked up and taken serious personal risks, he’d be the guy running the show after Stalin. Since Beria ran the whole police/intel apparatus, they literally had to have Marshal Zhukov and an Air force general arrest him in a cabinet meeting
Under communism, men and women starve to death equally!
Soviet feminism: frequent abortions and no tampons
***
Other American women said they were startled by what they heard about the shortages of contraceptives in the Soviet Union, not to mention the absence of sanitary napkins and tampons.
Soviet women’s frequent use of abortion as a method of birth control also raised American eyebrows.
But they found that the Soviet women, brought up in a more traditional and even prudish society, were reluctant to discuss such matters in detail.

In June 1936, he reversed much of the social policy regarding women which had been written under Lenin, importantly:
Marriages now had to be registered to be recognised.
Divorce was once again made difficult
Abortion rights were restricted
The family was declared the “basis of Soviet society”
Homosexuality was made illegal
This put an end most of the progressiveness Soviet social policy may have once had.
Also, as birthrates were falling and many men were dying in the Second World War, in July 1944, the USSR introduced measures to re-affirm the values of the family, as well as to incentivise women to have more children. In actual fact, these measures restricted women’s rights even further. As of July 1944:
Divorce was made even harder
Abortion was made totally illegal
Mothers with more than two children were declared “heroines of the revolution”
Parents with fewer than two children face heavier taxes
The right to inherit family property (restricted under Lenin) was re-established.

Truly, a feminist paradise…
***
For a very long time, the official ideology resented the sexuality and physicality of soviet female workers. This social taboo was especially visible in fashion. As the cult of personality dominated the Soviet Union, clothes that accentuated women’s figure were banned. Until the mid-1950s, Ukrainian women wore no low necks, used padded shoulders, and were clad in long loose skirts. Soviet clothing was supposed to hide women’s beauty and be as humble and primitive as possible. Soviet sociologist Igor Kon described the policy as “genderless sexism,” because the identical treatment of both genders did not give women the right to express themselves physically. Meanwhile, bodily self-expression had become an integral component of 1950s-1960s emancipation in the West. Red propaganda spent the following two decades reinforcing the contrast between the decent soviet woman with high morality and the amoral Western female.

Of course between the beginning of his chinstroker and that last line, he’s completely changed the claim supposedly being addressed.

Really? Did you read Virginia Postrel’s story?
Well fuck. My game just hit a rain delay. Arkansas up 6-3 in the 4th. I was pushing it trying to stay up and watch it anyway. I’m gonna go to bed now. when in get up in a few hours, I’ll find out if the pigs will live to play another day.
