The Future Costs Of Politically Correct Cultism

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,

I rarely touch on the subject of political correctness as a focus in my writings, partially because the entire issue is so awash in pundits on either side that the scrambling clatter of voices tends to drown out the liberty movement perspective. Also, I don’t really see PC cultism as separate from the problems I am always battling against: collectivism and the erasure of the individual in the name of pleasing society. Political correctness is nothing more than a tool that collectivists and statists exploit in order to better achieve their endgame, which is conning the masses into believing that the group mind is real and that the individual mind is fiction.

Last year, I covered the PC issue in my article “The Twisted Motives Behind Political Correctness.” I believe I analyzed the bulk of the issue extensively. However, the times are changing at a pace that boggles the mind; and this is by design. So, it may be necessary to square off against this monstrosity once again.

In order to better examine the true insanity of what many people now term “social justice warriors,” I must study a few aspects of that strange movement separately. First, let’s take a brief look at the mindset of your average social justice circus clown so that we might better understand what makes him/her/it tick.

Rebel Without A Legitimate Cause

I spent several years (up until 2004, when I woke up from the false paradigm madness) as a Democrat. And before anyone judges that particular decision, I would suggest they keep in mind the outright fascist brothel for the military-industrial complex the Republican Party had become at that point and remains to this day. Almost every stepping stone that Barack Obama is using today to eradicate the Constitution was set in place by the Bush dynasty, including the Authorization Of Military Force, which was the foundation for the National Defence Authorization Act and the legal precedence for indefinite detention without trial of ANY person (including an American citizen) accused of terrorism by the president of the U.S., as well as the use of assassination by executive order and the implementation of mass electronic surveillance without warrant.

But, hell, these are real issues — issues that many of my fellow Democrats at the time claimed they actually cared about. Today, though, liberal concerns about unconstitutional actions by the federal government have all but vanished. Today, the left fights the good fight against flags on the hoods of cars from long-canceled television shows and battles tooth and nail for the “right” of boys wearing wigs and skirts to use the girl’s bathroom. Today, the left even fights to remove the words “boy” and “girl” from our vocabulary. Yes, such noble pursuits as these will surely be remembered as a pinnacle in the annals of societal reform.

Maybe I realize the ideological goals of the social justice machine are meaningless on a surface level; and maybe you realize this, too. But these people live in their own little universe, which doesn’t extend far beyond the borders of their college campuses, the various Web forums they have hijacked and a trendy Marxist wine-and-swinger party here and there in New York or Hollywood. They actually think that they are on some great social crusade on par with the civil rights movements of the mid-1900s. They think they are the next Martin Luther King Jr. or the next Gandhi. The underlying banality and pointlessness of their cause completely escapes them. The PC cult is, in many respects, the antithesis of the liberty movement. We fight legitimate threats against legitimate freedoms; they fight mostly imaginary threats and seek to eradicate freedoms.

Don’t get me wrong; sometimes our concerns do align. For instance, liberty proponents fight back against the militarization of police just as avidly as leftists do, if not more so. But our movements handle the problem in very different ways. Look at Ferguson, Missouri, where anyone with any sense should be able to admit that the government response to protests was absolutely a step toward tyranny, ignoring violent looters while attacking peaceful activists. Leftists and PC cultists decided to follow the Saul Alinsky/communist playbook, busing in provocateurs from Chicago to further loot and burn down businesses even if they belonged to ethnic minorities. In the meantime, the liberty movement and Oath Keepers sent armed and trained men to defend those businesses REGARDLESS of who owned them and defied police and federal agents who tried to stop them.

The left gave the police and government a rationale for being draconian, while we removed the need for police and government entirely by providing security for the neighborhood (killing two birds with one stone). Either their methods are purely ignorant and do not work, or their methods are meant to achieve the opposite of their claims. In the end, the PC movement only serves establishment goals toward a fully collectivist and centralized society.  Their publicly stated intentions are otherwise pointless.

Your average PC drone does not understand the grander plan at work, nor does he want to. All he cares about is that he has found a “purpose” — a fabricated purpose as a useful idiot for power brokers, but a purpose nonetheless.

People Must Be Forced To Bake Gay Cakes

I personally do not care if two people of the same gender want to be in a relationship, but I do find the issue of gay marriage (and marriage in general) a rather odd conflict that misses the whole point. Marriage has been and always will be a religious institution, not federal; and I find government involvement in this institution to be rather despicable. When the Supreme Court’s decision on gay marriage came down, I felt a little sorry for all the joyfully hopping homosexuals on the marbled steps of the hallowed building, primarily because they essentially were fighting for the state to provide recognition and legitimacy for their relationships. Frankly, who gives a rip what the state has to say in terms of your relationships or mine? The state is an arbitrary edifice, a facade wielding illusory power. If a relationship is based on true and enduring connection, then that is all that matters, whether the Supreme Court dignifies it or not.

The only advantage to solidifying gay marriage in the eyes of the state is the advantage of being able to then use the state as an attack dog in order to force religious institutions to accept the status of gays in the same way the government does. And unfortunately, this is exactly what the PC cult is doing.  What they do not seem to understand is that recognition by the state does not necessarily translate to recognition by religious organizations, nor should it.

Should an individual, organization or business be allowed to refuse service to anyone for any reason? Should the state be allowed to force people into servitude to one group or another even if it is against their core values?

PC champions desperately try to make these questions a matter of “discrimination” alone. But they are more about personal rights and personal property and less about “hate speech.” Under natural law, as well as under the constitution, an individual has every right to refuse association with any other person for ANY reason. If I do not like you, the government does not have the authority to force me to be around you or to work for you. But this line has been consistently blurred over the years through legal chicanery. As I’m sure most readers are familiar, the issue of gay cakes seems to arise over and over, as in cases in Colorado and Oregon in which religiously oriented business owners were punished for refusing to provide service for gay customers.  Keep in mind, these businesses did not refuse outright service to gays.  What they did refuse, was to make gay wedding cakes.  To do so would have been in outright conflict with their religious principles.

Punishments have included crippling fines designed to put store owners out of business and have even included gag orders restricting the freedom of businesses to continue speaking out against the orientation of customers they have refused to do business with.

In order to validate such actions, leftists will invariably bring up segregation as a backdrop for the gay cake debate. “What if the customers were black,” they ask. “Is it OK for a business to be whites only?”

My response?  Yes, according the dictates of individual liberty, yes it is okay.

First, to be clear, I am talking specifically about private individuals and businesses, not public institutions as in the argument explored during Brown v. Board of Education. Private and public spaces are different issues with different nuances. I personally believe it is ignorant to judge someone solely on the color of his skin, and sexual orientation is not necessarily an issue to me. But it is equally ignorant for someone to think that the state exists to protect his feelings from being hurt. I’m sorry, but discrimination is a fact of life and always will be as long as individualism exists. The PC cultists don’t just want government recognition of their status; they want to homogenize individualism, erase it, and force the rest of us to vehemently approve of that status without question. This is unacceptable.

Your feelings do not matter. They are not superior in importance to the fundamental freedom of each individual to choose his associations.

If a business refuses to serve blacks, or gays, or Tibetans, then, hey, it probably just lost a lot of potential profit. But that should absolutely be the business’s choice and not up to the government to dictate. And in the case of “gay discrimination,” I think it is clear that the PC crowd is using the newfound legal victim group status of gays as a weapon to attack religiously based organizations. Make no mistake, this will not end with gay cakes. It is only a matter of time before pressure is brought to bear against churches as well for “discrimination.” And at the very least, I foresee many churches abandoning their 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.  Again, marriage has been and always will be a religious institution.  The PC crowd will not be happy with government recognition alone.  They want to force recognition from everyone.

If a group wants fair treatment in this world, that is one thing. I believe a gay person has every right to open HIS OWN bakery and bake gay marriage cakes to his little heart’s content. I believe a black person has every right to dislike white people, as some do, and refuse to associate with them or or do business with them if that’s what he/she wants. I also believe that under natural and constitutional law, a religious business owner is an independent and free individual with the right to choose who he will work for or accept money from. If he finds a customer’s behavior to be against his principles, he should not be forced to serve that person, their feelings be damned.

This is fair.

What is not fair is the use of government by some groups to gain an advantage over others based on the legal illusion of victim group status. PC cultists want us to think that choice of association is immoral and damaging to the group. I have to say I find them to be far more intolerant and dangerous than the people they claim to be fighting against, and this attitude is quickly devolving into full bore tyranny under the guise of “humanitarianism.”

Gender Bending Does Not Make You Special

A man shaves his head and eyebrows, straps a plastic bottle to his face, and has his feet surgically modified to resemble flippers: Does this make him a dolphin, and should he be given victim group status as trans-species? I’m going to be brief here because I covered this issue in a previous article, but let’s lay everything on the table, as it were...

PC cultists are clamoring to redefine the scientific FACT of gender as an “undefinable” and even discriminatory social perception. No one, no matter how dedicated, will EVER be able to redefine gender, unless they have the ability to change their very chromosomes. Nature defines gender, not man; and a man who undergoes numerous surgeries and body-changing steroid treatments will always have the genetics of a man even if he gives the appearance of a woman. Take away the drugs, and no amount of make-up will hide the chest hair growth and deepening voice.

This might be deemed a “narrow” view of gender, and I don’t care. Nature’s view of gender is the only one that counts. Psychological orientations are irrelevant to biological definitions. Are you a man trapped in a woman’s body? Irrelevant. A woman trapped in a man’s body? Doesn’t matter. If we are talking about legal bearings, then biological definitions are the only scale that makes sense. I realize that gender bending is very trendy right now, and Hollywood sure seems to want everyone to jump on that freaky disco bandwagon, but there is no such thing as gender-neutral people. They are not a group, let alone a victim group, and do not necessitate special attention or government protection. There are men, and there are women; these are the only gender groups that count. Whether they would like to be the opposite does not change the inherent genetic definition. Period. To make such foolishness into an ideology or a legal battle is to attempt to bewilder man’s relationship to nature, and this will only lead to social distraction and disaster.

There Is No Such Thing As ‘White Privilege’

A person determines his success in life by his character and his choices. Color does not define success, as there are many people of every color who are indeed successful. Do you have to work harder to gain success because you are brown, or black, or neon green? I’ve seen no concrete evidence that this is the case. I know that people who identify as “white” are still around 70% of the American population, thus there are more white people in successful positions only due to sheer numbers.

I know that I personally grew up in a low-wage household and had little to no financial help as I entered the working world. Everything I have accomplished in my life to this point was done alongside people of color, some of whom had far more advantages than I did. I cannot speak for other people’s experiences, but I can say that being white was never more important in my life than being stubborn and dedicated.

I also find it a little absurd that most PC cultists who harp about so-called white privilege are often white themselves and haven’t the slightest experience or insight on what it is to be a person of color anyway.  All of their concepts of discrimination are based purely on assumption. White privilege seems to be the PC cult’s answer to the argument that racism is a universal construct. Only whites can be racist, they claim, because only whites benefit from racism. I defy these jokers to show any tangible proof that an individual white person has more of a chance at success than a person of color due to predominant racism. Or are we just supposed to have blind faith in the high priests of PC academia and their morally relative roots?

The Cost Of Cultural Marxism

Marxism (collectivism) uses many vehicles or Trojan horses to gain access to political and cultural spaces. Once present, it gestates like cancer, erasing previous models of heritage and history in order to destroy any competing models of society.  If you want to understand what is happening in America today, I suggest you research the Chinese Cultural Revolution of the 1960's.  We are experiencing the same Marxist program of historical and social destruction, only slightly slower and more strategic.

Younger generations are highly susceptible to social trends and are often easily manipulated by popular culture and academic authority, which is why we are seeing PC cultism explode with the millennials and post-millennials. In my brief participation on the left side of the false paradigm, political correctness was only beginning to take hold. A decade later, the speed of the propaganda has far accelerated, and we now have a bewildering manure storm on our hands. The result is a vast division within American society that cannot be mended. Those of us on the side of liberty are so different in our philosophies and solutions to social Marxists that there can be no compromise.  The whole carnival can end only one way: a fight. And perhaps this is exactly what the elites want: left against right, black against white, gay against religious and straight, etc. As long as the PC movement continues to unwittingly do the bidding of power brokers in their efforts toward the destruction of individual liberty, I see no other alternative but utter conflict.

Allow me to play devil's/liberal's advocate. (Pardon me for repeating myself.)

If there is NO white privilege, could someone explain to me why a white person is 78% likely to be admitted into a University than a non-white, who has a 22% chance, with exactly the same grades?

Source: http://ak-hdl.buzzfed.com/static/2014-01/enhanced/webdr02/6/18/enhanced-...

Important facts:

* I believe most, but not all, of "white privilege" is actually self-inflicted. Yet I cannot see how this is not one true example of "white privilege."

* I didn't say that 78% of people who go to University are whites, so don't mis-hear me

* Nor should you miss that these have the same grades.

* I do believe this stat would balance out over time if more non-whites applied themselves... but it apparently is a fact of life for today

* Even if the stat is off by a whopping 50% there still is an apparent discrepenacy

at each others throats is what the global elitists want from us.  They pull the strings and balkanize everybody to divide and conquor us.  Get us all split up into smaller groups caught up in all this fucked up societal perversion and strife, and that makes it impossible for us to fight the globalists. 

They are very few compared to the billions of us and they know damn good and well that if the people shook off all this bullshit and finally got together we'd crush those motherfuckers under our boots. 

They've been using this shit against people for centuries...and it does continue to work.  But at the same time I believe due to the speed and proliferation of information the internet has provided the world there are millions more people awake now...they've woken up and have taken themselves out of "the Matrix" so to speak.  Impossible to be reincerted again.

The internet has backfired on the globalists plans though and the awakening of so many people and creations of so many websites much like ZeroHedge even, have most likely set the globalists back 10 or 20 years on their ultimate plans to wipe most of us out.

Now they got a serious fucking fight on their hands from those of us who are awake and I think that's why we're seeing such a crazy acceleration of all this fucked up shit going on since o-fuck-tard was first elected in '08.

He's doing their bidding, that's for sure...doing the fuckin' best he can to fuck shit up as bad as possible.  They're scared of us and that's why they're going full-retard now and throwing every fucked up thing they can at us to keep people distracted and at each others throats rather than focusing on the real issues and who the ones are fucking things up so badly.

Best guess is that soon enough they're just going to create another world war and kill as many people as they possibly can.  They'll set off some kind of biological weapons, introduce deadly poisons into the food and water supplies...shit like that.  Those who don't die from that will still be in big trouble because most of the food and water supply will be so tainted or rationed that eventually they'll just starve the rest of us to death if they can.

The elitists are already packing up and getting outta dodge.  They've built or are building their protected redoubts all over the world and they're definitely getting supplied up and ready to bunker down while everyone else gets wiped out.  

They're already setting us up for the fall by making "Conservatives" and Veterans and 1st and 2nd Amendment supports the fall-guys for what will come.  They're training right now for nation-wide Martial Law scenarios and have been positioning military gear of all kinds all over the country.  They already have built over 600 FEMA camps that they call Internment and Resettlement Camps.

Even if that shit doesn't happen we all know damn good and well something really fucked up is going to happen.  They're setting the world-wide economy up for a massive collapse of epic proportions that we already know will wipe out 75% of everything that 99% of the people have in so-called "wealth".  That right there will be reason enough for bringing in Martial Law.

Just look at Greece and imagine America like that times 1000!  And since they know that about 150 million of us are heavily armed, then well I think that's why they're going to go with biological weapons, diseases, EMP's, and shit like that to slowly starve us out or kill most of us by disease.  Stay away from all their mandatory vaccines too...they're hot dosing the vaccines with all kinds of shit that will fuck us up and/or kill us. 

I'd say get outta North America, but really, where else is anyone going to be safe?  Especially if you're an American...they'll probably have people in countries all over the world hunting Americans down as if we're Nazi's or something. 

Nah...don't let these treasonous sociopaths run us out of our own country.  Best to just band together and stay and fight 'em to the death.  Show the world America still has the balls to fight these scumbags and that we won't just roll over and beg like the rest of the world has done time after time.

So just keep trying to wake people up if you can.  Keep stackin' gear, supplies, food, water, guns, ammo, med supplies, hunting/fishing/camping gear, and phyzz precious metals.  We know the shit's gonna hit the fan soon enough, so all we can do is prepare the best we can and adapt after the SHTF to whatever we didn't prepare for. 

And always be ready for the fight. 

And always remember what the great one, Chuck Heston said:   

"So as we set out this year...to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away.  I want to say those fighting words...for everyone within the sound of my voice, to hear and to heed...and especially for you...Mr. Gore:   FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS!!!! "

This might be deemed a “narrow” view of gender, and I don’t care. Nature’s view of gender is the only one that counts.

It’s not only ‘narrow’ it’s flatly wrong. ‘Nature’ can be very vague about gender identity of species - including humans.

Only whites can be racist, they claim, because only whites benefit from racism.

One of the number one rules when it comes to acquiring wealth goes like this: The rule is, only the white man can profit from pain. White man makes alcohol, tastes great, I love it, you love it, we all love it. Kills motherf**kers every day, ok? … White man makes cigarettes. Cigarettes are the most dangerous product known to man. Kills motherf**kers every day. Cigarettes are so dangerous, it kills motherf**ckers that don’t smoke … But it’s all right ‘cuz it’s all white.

@Erik Magnus Larssen,  are you here in America or holed up in some Euro-socialist paradise? Our crazed leaders treat all of us like chum on one another and put out that kind of incitement to stir up trouble. It's the only way they can hold on to power.  

After all the race rioting that made the headlines all over America there was a conga-line of leaders from the White House/Nut House, national and local leaders, of course all the TV and H'wood celebs on down to pedestrians all making statements and inflaming things worse before they even had the facts. When it serves their own purposes and egos civil strife is really useful.

Yet when a young white woman in San Francisco was cut down by a bullet in broad daylight by a violent criminal who had been kicked out of America five times, and kept returning to a hospitible government hideout known as "sanctuary city," not one of the daisyring dancers even called the family. Tell that to your stupid Canadian friends.

Chris probably did not write this bit. It sounds just like Paul Mooney Analyzing White America. He is brilliant. But often misunderstood. In this show he says..."white people will just come up to you and kill you". The context was like a serial killer or "crazy" white fucker. It was rhetorical just like Chris Rocks bit you refer to. Not accurate. For example, black folks will come up to you and kill as well. And of coarse there is a "crazy" black fucker. They are brilliant artists who know how to deliver rhetorical prose. It's a caricature of white culture much like black culture is stereotyped. Click the link and read the comments and you'll see people saying "he's right" even though he says some absurd things. Chris say's cigarettes are the most dangerous product known to man...clearly not true but it seems true. People just don't get the subtleties of well crafted rhetorical prose.

And natures view of gender is not that vague. If that were the case humans would have died out long ago. Saying nature is vague about gender is like saying the useless extra markup that's in this web page is meaningful and doesn't cause glitches.

My thought. Why do you even care about what races get degrees? What does it matter? They're all going to be working at Starbucks anyway. May be the ones that forego the degree are really the smart ones who chose not to enter into debt slavery. A college degree is far from a classic liberal education of long ago.

Is it white privilege that white people LIKE white people better than others? Cannot the same thing be said of all groups, cultures, nationalities and races? Is it white privilege that white people feel that black people especially reject their culture and as such feel no desire to "share"?

Is it possible that racism as blatantly expressed by blacks towards whites, and if not condoned at least ignored by our arbiters of PC, is a legitimate reason to desire a lack of association with them?

Why is the failure of our multicultural integration the fault of whites?

Why is poverty the fault of the rich?

Why is a women's misery the fault of men?(Been married too long)

Why is a person's mental illness the fault of their genetic sexual determination.

Why is everything that we see wrong with ourselves or the world always somebody else's fault?

Inflated for black people. Also, the curriculum has been dumbed down for them. Black people have, on average, only an 85 IQ. This puts them at a significant disadvantage. Since public schools have been unable to raise the average IQ of black children to par with white, Asian, Jewish, etc, they have instead dumbed down the curriculum to that level. This is what you get when equality of outcome is demanded. Since one group of students is not capable of performing on the same level as the rest, we will just bring the rest down to their level.

Due to more fed gov involvement in schools, they also 'socially promote' students that aren't intelligent enough for the next grade, where they just get promotered again. This is why so many young people who graduate high school can barely read or write and have sub 9th grade math skills.

+1000.  I was a teacher at the college level in the 70s and I saw this as it began.  Very few black people could pass the courses or receive a degree without major changes.  They eliminated entrance exams and difficult requirements like foreign language, English composition and math.  They created new courses like black studies where the grades posted were all As for a lecture class of 300.  They dumbed down the rest of the courses and gave passing grades for attendance only.  White kids found out they could party all the time and never have to work to learn something.  It has ultimately destroyed our educational system.

(It is not fair that Birds can fly under their own power for hours on end, soaring on the thermals. It is not fair that I do not have wings or the chest strength to use them. Wahhh. Wahhh Wahhh.)

 

The problem is that these fucking stupid liberal white people, out of some sense of "guilt", want to live in a Fantasyland World of "should be", "could be", and "would be", instead of dealing with "what is" or "what is not".

 

They are out of their rabid assed minds.

This. This is the kind of fact I'm looking for. However, I would suppose the person giving the original stat would take into account SAT with grades and considered as a whole? But then, I won't put anything past liberals.

Wouldn't someone who scores the same grades likely score about the same on the SAT/ACT?

Blacks score vastly lower on SATs/ACTs than any other race, even when household income is taken into account. e.g. Black kids from middle-income households are outscored by Asian or White kids from lower-income households.

Probably more meaningful than GPA since these are standardized tests, meaning that everyone has to take the same exam, so it's not prone to score inflation or curving ("gentleman's B").

Grades aren't the end-all for college admissions, hasn't been that way for decades. I'm going to guess that extracurricular activities make the difference. Some sociologist ought to do an analysis on the racial composition of school clubs, I'm guessing those are where Whitey congregates in majority non-white schools, ironically as a safe space.

"Allow me to play devil's/liberal's advocate. (Pardon me for repeating myself.)

If there is NO white privilege, could someone explain to me why a white person is 78% likely to be admitted into a University than a non-white, who has a 22% chance, with exactly the same grades?

Source: http://ak-hdl.buzzfed.com/static/2014-01/enhanced/webdr02/6/18/enhanced-...

Important facts:

* I believe most, but not all, of "white privilege" is actually self-inflicted. Yet I cannot see how this is not one true example of "white privilege."

* I didn't say that 78% of people who go to University are whites, so don't mis-hear me

* Nor should you miss that these have the same grades.

* I do believe this stat would balance out over time if more non-whites applied themselves... but it apparently is a fact of life for today

* Even if the stat is off by a whopping 50% there still is an apparent discrepenacy

 

Thoughts?"

 

Interesting. So you are saying Universities are the most racist institutions in America? Have you broken this to the administrations of the Universities involved? I want to see what happens when you tell them.

I'm white.  I went to  Chapel Hill highschool in NC, and my grades and class rank were not awesome there.  I got into UNC Chapel Hill and did great in the Physics program there.  The admissions staff at UNC considered my SATs and the SATs of the highchool as a whole compared to other highschools, and the graduation rate at UNC of students from my highschool vs. other highschools in the state.  Botton line: My 3.4 GPA and top 15% class rank, SATs, with all-state band and dramatic leads was scored higher than a higher GPA and other equivalents at some other highschool.  White privilege, standing on taller shoulders of my predecessors, or common sense?

Thoughts?

Well, first it's pretty thin to base an opinion on a cartoon.  Second, I can't speak to the accuracy/innacuracy of that cartoon, but I can share *my* subjective experience:  My white priveledge didn't do a hell of a lot for me in college.  I worked multiple jobs while going to school full-time because I didn't qualify for very much financial aid (and I'm OK with that).  It took me 6 years to pay off my college after graduation.  The minorities living around me in my apartment complex, however, didn't work, partied a lot, and went to the same school - and very often didn't study or attend - which lends credence to the addage that what comes cheap is not valued.  One girl bragged that she was "making" $42K per year on top of having all her school paid for because she was a minority - she was 1/4 Cherokee (in the early 80's).  In my Junior year, I took the MCAT and scored 12's and 13's (very high scores) - and that combined with a 3.9GPA and a double major in chemistry and biology,  two years experience as an EMT, and several grueling interviews, *barely* got me admitted to medical school (I never went - I couldn't afford it).  Conversely, there were black females who had 2.0GPA's, 6's and 7's on their MCAT's and who (according to them) didn't go through more than two simple "interviews" who were given full-ride scholarships to the same medical school.  I had a friend who took the GMAT and for fun put "Eskimo" as the race.  Even though he only had low-to-mediocre scores, he was called within the first month after scoring with full-ride scholoarship offers from Harvard, Yale, and a handful of other ivy-league schools.

In the military, I saw minorities who didn't meet requirements advanced in rank and awarded medals.  In corporate America, I've seen minorities given jobs they were not qualified for due to quota requirements - and usually a second position was created to do that person's job while allowing them to remain in that position.  I've seen lucrative government contracts given to minority contractors based solely on their race.

If there's "white priveledge" out there, I sure as hell haven't experienced it - my experience has been pretty much the opposite.  Your mileage may vary.

A few thoughts and factual/easily observable observations...

 

Whites

Higher IQ's on average (proven by top world geneticists and also world history)

More motivation to succeed

Parents care enough to push them to get good grades

Parents care enough to save and pay for their education.

 

Blacks

Lower IQ's on average (proven by top world geneticists and also world history)

No motivation other than to crime to get ahead and use excuses that the PC crowd gave them to use as crutches.

Parent (notice singular) more motivated to breed like vermin to increase their GOV handouts.

The buck is more interested in selling crack and hip-hopping than to rear their offspring which they seed multiple nigresses.

I could go on and on and on about both but these words are lost on PC-tards

 

If you have the PC rose colored glasses on, you will/can never see these easily obserable FACTS and BEHAVIORS.

 

Take your PC and shove it up your ass sideways.

But we're both wrong.  This willing suspension of disbelief is in its ascendancy, not in its decline.  No society has ever pulled back from this level of self-delusion.  It has only ever ended by way of collapse.  

And what you're really going to beat your head against the wall over is that it's going to ACCELERATE into the close.  It's not going to gradually taper back the other way as the impossibility of it's realization starts to hit home.  No, it's going to double down again and again with ever more impossible promises until it finally can't be sustained.

Sorry, dude, marriage is political.  Inheritance, bankruptcy, division of property, etc.  A church can refuse to marry a same-sex couple (and should have that right). But, like it or not, two men and two women often decide to share their lives.  Why not the same legal rights as a loveless hetero couple?

I think that government should authorize all human relationships. There should be a legal path to friendship, acquaintanceship and even enmity. How else will individuals know how to act toward one another?

Just the other day I saw a man who lives down the street. We don't really know each other but we recognize each other. So neither of us seems sure about whether we should greet each other at every meeting, about once a day or not at all. If government would step up to the plate and do what it does best then this difficult social interaction as well as many others could be solved fairly by the decree of bureaucrats just as they were meant to be.

Silly me, tossed my tv years ago and look at all the fun I am missing! Sheesh!

More and more I am appreciating growing up when I did. Having a childhood with Huck Finn adventures and my only worry was getting tanned if I got home late for dinner. There were probably gay/ transgendered or whatever kids at school but I never really noticed. Why are we so hyper focused on all of this? God, I had my bra snapped all the time by boys for having big boobs. Yeah, for a shy kid it was tough but I got over it. After a few years of karate under my belt, for some reason they left me alone.

"But, like it or not, two men and two women often decide to share their lives.  Why not the same legal rights as a loveless hetero couple?"

Simple!!

Because they can accomplish that sharing - inheritance, bankruptcy, division of property - without the intervention of the state. The state intervened in marital affairs in order to foster reproduction and to create legal tools to intervene to protect children, tools which in the hands of the state have turned into a Frankenstein's child protective services monster.

No no no.  None of the aspects of government involvement you mentioned should even exist, and so there is no reason for government valuations of marriage.  There are no "legal rights", only natural rights.  Marriage only involves government today because government always intrudes.  There is no need for their participation or interference in any of it.

Yup, Hohum is absolutely correct.

Marriage licenses are granted by state governments.  The property rights of the married couple are a matter of civil law.

Now once one has a license, where one gets married is entirely up to the two people getting married.  The marriage can be religious or it can be a civil ceremony.

The founders of the country were very diligent in staying out of the argument of religious vs civil ceremonys, but CIVIL law covers the rights involved.

As to gay fuckers and their need for state recognition.  I've uncomfortably known a number of committed (or should have been) same sex couples in long-term relationships...twenty years or more.  One of the problems they have is recognition of status in medical emergencies.  For that end, (I said END talking about gays!) I can understand their jubilation over the idiot Supremes decision.  For those in real relationships there are a number of personal barriers removed.

 

Not that I care, nor want to know too fucking much about what they do.  If you're gay, go the fuck home, fuck whatever, but keep the door closed and the curtains drawn.  I don't wanna know.

I cut a bunch of people out of my life recently after being called a "privelaged white male" by a few women and men within this group after an argument over the recent Confederate flag garbage. What a cruel joke society played on me. My entire life, I believed that my successes were attributed to the fact that despite growing up in a lower middle class single mother household with no father figure, recognizing my gifts and talents at an early age, and becoming a successful man by pushing myself to be the best I possibly could, simultaneously beating the statistical norm of how children raised by single mothers usually turn out, was only possible because I won the ethnic lottery by being born a white male.

I come from a religious tradition that has proudly recognized homosexual relationships for over 2000 years.

I think it's despicable that it's taken the State this long to recognize that homosexuality is no different than left-handedness or red hair. At the same time, I think it's 100% wrong to demand that people who don't agree with this obvious reality have to bake cakes for religious unions that they do not morally agree with. The last thing the State has any authority to legislate is morals. I consider homosexuality a moral issue - a moral issue that calls on human beings to be tolerant, loving, and accepting of human difference. But the last thing I want a government to do is try to legislate morality at gunpoint.

I studied theology under Ivy League trained professors. I have the religious credentials necessary to marry a couple in matrimony, gay, straight, or otherwise. But trying to force that moral opinion on other people is both counterproductive and morally wrong. I want people to join this movement of their own free will; I don't want to try to FORCE them to believe that it's morally upright.

And what "religious tradition" would that be?

It's not Christianity.

The resurrected Jesus Christ appeared to a persecutor of the Christians, named Saul of Tarsus.

Jesus changed Saul's name to Paul.

This is what Saint Paul wrote:

"Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Note that, just like all the others sins mentioned, homosexuality can be forgiven- "that is what some of you were."

But those who continue in any of these sins, as this Scripture states, "will not inherit the kingdom of God."

 

Here is another quote from the New Testament, regarding both male and female homosexuals:

"They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved." - Romans 1:25-27

Note that the last verse appears to have predicted AIDS and other VD would be rampant among homosexuals- which it certainly is, in far higher percenatges than heterosexuals: http://www.returnofkings.com/3882/the-truth-about-aids

PS- Saint Paul wrote 14 of the books of the New Testament- more than half of the 27 books in it.

 

 

Now- can you handle the truth?

Let’s take a look at the “fruits” of homosexuality:

1.      35-40% of gay men say there were molested or anally raped when they were little boys.

2.      55% of male homosexuals are pedophiles.

3.      This group also forms the next generation of the pedophile predators pool which molests children at rate 4000% higher rate than heterosexual males. Male homosexuals are both victims and predators and this dispels the 'gene theory' of homosexuality.  Early childhood indoctrination is common.

4.      Heterosexual men were only molested at a 4% rate as boys, by homosexual men.

5.      ~40,000 male homosexuals die annually in the USA due to AIDS. 40% of those are children under the age of 13 years old. Cost is around $300,000/year/each patient diagnosed, the rest are still out spreading it.

6.      Homosexuals have 40 % more serious mental health issues than hetersexuals.

7.      Homosexuals openly advocate to have sex wth children. (NAMBLA, etc).

8.      40% of all serial killers are homosexuals with a pedophile fetish -- Gacy, Dahmer, Juan Corona, etc...  When you see a picture of a little boy on a milk carton he is not missing because of his lunch money.

Homosexuality is not a victimless activity. You can spit in any direction and find the victims of the agenda hurting people everywhere. It hurt Jerry Sandusky's kids and it hurt Jimmy Saville's kids. Where is the outrage in the homosexual community for these pedophiles among them? Never a response... ever.

So this is a messed up demographic of coprophiliacs creating  an epidemic of AIDS, antibiotic resistant VD, child molestations and rapes going on in our public school system that is 2000% greater than any Catholic problem ever was. 2500 public school molestation cases are reported per year, minimum.

Oh, it's not Christianity. I consider Christianity a religion of fear. I mean, if you felt like you were free to make a choice, you wouldn't choose Christianity.

If you though that you could really, really chose what you wanted, and God wouldn't hurt you for it, you'd choose something very different. Christianity is a religion of fear. It's the religion of being beaten for chosing wrong. God has given us the moral freedom to choose a religion of love instead of fear. Fear of punishment is of the demons; love of esctacy is the religion of peace.

You seem to be afraid to divulge your religion.

Fear is not a religion. It is a state of mind. It has no denomination. The Soul or Self is pure consciousness. Contemplate this and you will touch the Devine.

Fear is observable so by definition, it is not Self. It can be expunged if you care to do so.
