The Future Costs Of Politically Correct Cultism
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.

You are confused.
God gave you and everyone else free will.
But there are consequences for your choices.
Some choices result in eternal death, another choice in eternal life.
You do not understand what Christianity is.
"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love" - 1 John 4:8
"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." - 1 John 4:16
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." - 1 John 4:18
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16
It is you who fear, and rightly so- there will be a day of judgment- and those who continue as unrepenant homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
THIS is God's wish for you and everyone else- use your free will, and:
"Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord" -Acts 3:19
Christianity is perverted Judaism, done so at the hands of kings wishing to create a larger system to subjugate people. It reallt is that simple. It is a form of slavery whereby you are enslaved now for some future promise - a lie. As the old saying goes, Rome didnt convert to Christiantiy, Christianty converted to Rome.
Just because someone wrote something down 2k years ago and morons have fallen for it, does not lend it credance.
Precicely.
B.I (Before Internet) the power structure did not have an ability to scale propaganda. The Kings backdoored that by pretending to be devine.
Today it's obvious the power structure is corrupt as fuck, and they opperate mostly in the open with the hubris beca...oh hey the Kardashains are on!
An interesting theory on the invention of Christianity.. The Flavian Dynasty.

In the same vein, Multiculturalism is the State Religion of the emerging Global Empire. It says "everyone is equal, everyone belongs everywhere," because the Globalist goal is to Rule Everyone.
...pretty harsh religion ya got there... won't even let a drunk in heaven. How about a binge drinker? Just curious.
Contrary to what some believe, there is nothing sinful about drinking alcoholic beverages, in moderation.
But indulging to the point of drunkeness, stupor- that is what is sinful.
Or, if you're an alcoholic, and you can't lead a productive life while drinking- give it up.
Some forget what Jesus' first miracle was- do you remember?
At the wedding feast in Cana, he turned the water into wine.
That was his first miracle- that should tell you something.
In addition, other Scriptures regarding alcohol:
Ecclesiastes 3:14I have come to know that everything that the true God makes, it will prove to be to time indefinite. To it there is nothing to add and from it there is nothing to subtract; but the true God himself has made it, that people may be afraid on account of him.
Ecclesiastes 9:7Go, eat your food with rejoicing and drink your wine with a good heart, because already the true God has found pleasure in your works.
Psalm 104:15And wine that makes the heart of mortal man rejoice, To make the face shine with oil, And bread that sustains the very heart of mortal man.
1 Timothy 5:23Do not drink water any longer, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent cases of sickness.
Thank you for clearing that up. I'm obviously screwed.
Lol.
Occasional overindulgence happens to the best of us.
It's when overindulgence becomes a regular practice,
that you enter into the sin of drunkeness,
not to mention medical problems,
like liver, kidney, lung, nerve and eventual brain damage.
Everything in moderation is always the best rule.
[uh-oh, holy shit]
"Everything in moderation is always the best rule."
...except bible thumping it seems.
Your faith is a scam and based on Ressentiment, whereby some kings and cesars manipulated Judaism to help explain why is was so amazong to live in squalor and subjected to their whims. If you want to wake up from something, wake up to the relization that you are part of a system responsible for the deaths of billions of people across 2000 years for political gain and the enrichment of a few kings, all while making your feel like starving now means some magical reward in the afterlife. Talk about collectivism! It really never ceases to amaze me how many Chrisitian do not even know the real meaning of there so called faith.
You can't even spell correctly. Your foolishness is manifest. Death of billions? Moron...
there is also a mental illness whereby you dismiss a concept for a minor cause simply because it is too complex for you to understand.
Advance a "concept" then reprobate... Good grief you can't cogitate anything logical.
wow calvin? interesting...now there was a whatjob, who the hell still thinks his ideas were good for mankind?
And you continue in retardedness.. Done. Goodbye.
Give it a rest, TROLL.
You started out with nothing to add,
and you've gone downhill from there.
Does your mom know your using her computer?
Or is it break time from your padded cell?
Hey Seek_Truth, just curious...do you have a link/source for those 8 bullet points? Would like to know. Thanks.
Nothing has recognized sodomy as a legitamite relationship for 20 years, much less 2000 years.
Keep on lying to advance your anusocracy reprobate.
"I studied theology under Ivy League trained professors." Well, you've correctly identified your problem, so now what are you going to do about it?
You're wrong about gay behavior and there is no gay gene. 35-40% of gay men say they were molested and anally raped as boys by older gays, like Jerry Sandusky and Jimmy Savile. I have a gay friend who was the best man at my wedding and he still laughs out loud at do-gooder idiots like you who stereotype all gays as either cute drag queens like Elton John or boyish lesbians like Ellen Degeneres.
Only 4% of hetero men say they were molested, but we're still talking millions upon millions of kids being damaged. Pedophilia was already epidemic in our public schools, 2000% bigger than the Catholic scandals. And now homosexuality is even being promoted to first graders, who don't know how to say 'no' to a teacher and are being groomed. And there's still no cure for AIDS -- 40,000 new cases a year, 20,000 deaths -- and half of the deaths are children (and not from transfusions).
Teacher: "Little Johnny, let me touch your pee pee or you'll be a bad homophobe."
So since you brought it up, the moral thing for a society to do is not to glorify and promote these atrocities in the first place. Tolerance is one thing but it's completely immoral to thrust something so hideously destructive upon society because we already clearly know it's not about gay marriage, it's an entire agenda.
Gays had it right the first time 3 decades ago -- "Government out of the bedroom!"
Let the kids dig their own grave. These fucker's will be the first to ask Mom & Dad to stay in the basement.
This time, the kids can stay on the street using a cardboard box.
Thank God my kid's are angels. We even bought them a house to stay in. 1.5 years until they graduate from University of Akron with a computer science degree. This summer was messed up. They were enrolled for summer classes to excel in placing closure in receiving degree. Grandma passed away. They're spending the summer abroad with extended family. It's Mrs Atomizer first husband, biological children.
Great kids. I'm blessed with smart computer nerds. Reminds me of myself.
The contention over religious acceptance of gay marriage was preceded some centuries earlier by the question of remarriage after divorce.
Mark 10
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
I can't figure out if this is sarcasm or what.
Buying em a house to stay in screams "boomerang".
Computer sci degree screams "unemployed".
Hope it's just sarcasm...
I've been a Marxist for 40 years at minimum. Corporatist Casino Capitalism Ponzi Financialization/Securitization schemes drove me to that orthodoxy through fixed, and rigged, markets, banks, and corruption, inherent in contemporary fascist North American culture.
Just because klepto corporate crony capital fascism sucks does not make marxism good. Who funded the Bolsheviks? NYC, London and Frankfurt tribal bankers and those Bolshevik marxists murdered 25 million Russian Christians.
This evil Bolshevik scum is around today at the State Dept (see Nuland PNAC) and in most NGOs.
Marxism is the only philosophical economic doctrine that can counter Casino Ponzi Capitalism. I don't give a rat's arse if it's qualitatively worse, or better, than Casino Ponzi Capitalism. Marxism is only a means to destroy Capitalism, and as a Mechanical Engineering Technician, I always choose the best tool for the job. Marxism is a great hammer for Capitalism to be beaten to death with just like Saul Alinski, and Cloward & Piven had wanted to happen historically. Historical Materialism is the best possible theory to smash the life out of what is left of Capitalism.
Once it is destroyed, and we appropriate all the money that system appropriated from us, I'll find something else to believe in when my boots are resting on the Oval Office desk in my new White House which I plan on painting a dayglow lime green colour to match my Nomad & Harley Electroglide that I buy with all my newfound exCapitalist loot. In brief, these motherfuckers ripped me off and now I will exact my revenge, and destroy them Just as God would want me to.
NOTE: I am a good Christian Grumpy Marxist that is slow to anger as the Bible advises. Furthermore, the NeoConservatives & NeoLiberals are Satanic, and follow the Synagogue of Satan. I'm just a meat & tatters Christian that happens to be a Grumpy Marxist. just sayin' is all.
But what happens to those of us who want to be capitalists? What do you propose to do with us?
You wanna be a Capitalist?
Fine. Then STOP exploiting natural resources and/or people. That means no facturies in China.
Pay the real value for the natural resources you need such as oil.
Pay real living wages to people and if they want to form a Union to protect themseves againits you DO NOT interfear.
Do not work with the government to protect your business by passing all sorts of laws,
DO NOT play insider games.
Do NOT sign deals with work with the government suppying it with planes or any type of military equipment.
Can you be "Capitalist" like that? I very much doubt it. In fact, Im 100% sure you can't.
A capitalist simply saves some of today's profit in order to be more productive tomorrow. It's how the world works.
If you have a problem with those who commit crime and fraud then accuse criminals and frauds and not the simple and necessary fact that it takes work and planning to build a better life. To do otherwise is to act fraudulently yourself.
I propose to send all the Ludditte Capitalists to a resocialization camp to read Maoist poetry until you all get that Capitalism is for fascists like Mussolini, and the Mafia. Corporatists will become the new recyclers walking around the ship salvaging yards in India in bare feet, and the poor ragged Marxists & Socialists will write all the poetry the Capitalist will read in the resocialization camps the Capitalists will be sent to.
Calcutta has some dumps that the Capitalists can work too. It will be FUN.
:|
Well that statement proves that you hold the moral high ground. As someone who believes that individuals own themselves how can I compete morally with someone who wants to imprison me in the name of Jesus and Karl Marx?
Ethical Capitalism has not been invented yet, William. When you invent it, please take the time to publish your work so that we may discuss it as educated individuals would, undoubtedly. I assure you that I will give anything you write fair play, reasoned assessment, and I'll be polite.
Yeah 'cause all these "educated individuals" are doing as all a big favor in the current power structure by backdooring everyone. At least based on my reasoned assessment.
Shut the fuck up with your "I'm a rule follower but as long as I make the rules" attitude. Who died and made you king?
There you go, I published my research. Discuss.
PS. I know your posts are tongue in cheek, I'm just stirring the pot.
Yeah, ripped off...me too!
Those fucking redistributive IRS people at it again. Fucking quarterly "estimated" tax payments. Personally no one has ripped me off more than my loving caring thieving redistributive socialist loving fucking government.
Who robbed you??
The cocksucking academics ripped me off, but they were American cocksucking academics, and they were avid Capitalists to boot. It took me years to figure out how they fucked me over. It took even more years to reverse engineer the Casino Capitalist system so that I could singlehandedly take down Wall Street, The City, The Vatican Bank, and the de Rothschild Banking Cartel, all in one well orchestrated attack March 10th 2008. I have been smiling ever since that date in history.
"Once it is destroyed, and we appropriate all the money that system appropriated from us...."
Who's we? Nope, no vacuum there. And who would decide who gets what? Oh that's right to each according to their needs. It would just magically flow to them just like capital flows to where it's most efficient and no one would ever manipulate that. Wait a minute....manipulation of capital flow. That's what happens with casino, ponzi capitalism. But that would never, ever happen with a Marxist. Marxists have transcended human weakness and would never appropriate a little more "flow" or power to themselves. Besides, the Marxist fairy would make sure you get what you need thereby rendering those that would manipulate to the dust bin of history for ever and ever amen.
Disclaimer: any and all similarities between casino, ponzi capitalism and Marxist theory are purely coincidental.
A Marxist named Master of Universe? But I thought Stalin was dead. An interesting window into the collectivist mind, nonetheless.
Communists created the terminology "political correctness". Master of the universe should feel very comfortable with this topic.
"Political Correctness" is that what they called the cold barrel of a Mosin-Nagant revolver barrel at teh base of your skull?
It's as if they think that they'll all be masters in a grand Marxist Uptopia. No wonder they have such contempt for productive individuals and the wealth they create -- somebody has to be the serfs and that somebody will have to be productive. So from the Master's perspective we're really just enslaving ourselves by having the temerity to produce.
Dangerously stupid and insane doesn't begin to describe the collectivist mind.
My father was a dyed-in-the-wool Capitalist, and my mother was a Socialist. Father was a Chartered Accountant Senior Rulings National Revenue Oil, Mines, and Resource Taxation Revenue CANADA, and Mother Dearest was a Poet/Producer/Writer. In brief, my whole family argued at the dinner table every night and if I was not opinionated I would not have survived the ordeal.
NOTE: I am a product of the Odd Couple, my parents.
You mean your parents were related?!?
Very funny, KK. No my parents were not related.
My name is Lloyd Blankfein and I am an addict
Great. Just what ZH needs, another smelly old marxist.
Congratulations!
Just keep your hands off of my assssets.
"Corporatist Casino Capitalism Ponzi Financialization/Securitization schemes drove me to that orthodoxy through fixed, and rigged, markets, banks, and corruption, inherent in contemporary fascist North American culture".
Funny you think that's capitalism. Corporate and Government Marxism drove you to....Marxism.
You should change your name to Master of Stupidity!
Everyone has a pet people.
Bring up funding for Israel let their god protect them, and certain people will freak out.
Mention cutting off funding to Africa so they ‘plateau’ to a self-sustainable level, and some people will freak out.
And here we are with everyone helping everyone else with someone else’s production,
This is very true. Any criticism of Israel is met with instant condemnation and cries of you being an anti-Semitist. In fact it is probably a thousand times worse than the race card because being called an anti-Semitist will come from *both* conservatives and liberals.
It is the neocon version of political correctness.
Bitch about PC issues all you want. Meanwhile, banks and other corporations are dismantling American democracy with dollars and we're running out of cheap energy.
For someone who seems half-aware that the right-left debate is a distraction from the real issues we face (i.e. debt overload, regulatory capture of the government by corporate interests, energy deplection, environmental limits), Brandon Smith sure loves to wallow in that same right-left mud pit.
When illegal immigration increases ten-fold or one-hundred fold because central american states are failing outright, and US unemployment goes from 15% upwards, it won't be because of Confederate flags or gay marriage. It will be because there's no cheap fossil fuels left and because the environment breaks down to the point where people in developing nations are approaching starvation.
Any libertarian worth his or her salt understands these underlying economic issues.
Your concerns were addressed in paragraph one:
"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."
"It will be because there's no cheap fossil fuels left and because the environment breaks down to the point where people in developing nations are approaching starvation."
And the only question then is what the die off will look like. PC pussies are unlikely to survive and certainly won't have friends willing to help them defend their turf.
Political Correctness is a tool to silence us, to punish us for speaking our mind. We have always had to suffer the consequence of our convictions, but seldom has the consequence of expressing them become so oppressive. Progressives have used it by first imposing guilt for perceived injustices, regardless of if we actually engaged in the newly incorrect behavior or not, but as judged by our race or status or persuasions. Once this guilt is firmly in place, they then proceed to punish anyone who complains or expresses doubt or difference with their new "progress". Liberally speaking is not to be taken liberally, in that the desire is NOT discussion but conformity or consensus.
To not accept...nay, embrace gay marriage, something unheard of twenty years ago, not because of its impossibility, but because virtually no gays wanted it, is hate speech. Something our glorious progressive leader had voiced just a few years ago but now disparages any doubters.

I've mentioned this before, but the more this goes on the more likely someone will lash out and do something really bad. Political correctness, while an extremely powerful tool for control, cannot suppress people forever. Eventually the dam will break. There will be someone out there who will have nothing to lose and decides to pull an Anders Breivik; believing that violence eventually becomes the only option against the PC police when they have shut off all other methods of dialogue and conversation.
This is what the left has no fucking clue about. Do they not realize that using political correctness to suppress the same "hate groups" they are against only empowers them in the end? It gives those people something to rally behind, knowing they are considered relevant by TPTB.
If you have some time to burn, check out this article here: http://thoughtcatalog.com/joshua-goldberg/2014/11/why-censoring-speech-c...
It does a great job explaining how the PC menality of shutting down hate speech only fans the flames.
"There will be someone out there who will have nothing to lose and decides to pull an Anders Breivik"
There will be millions out there with nothing to lose and everything to gain by organized violence to end preferences for their enemies and restore their freedom of speech and their freedom to live in communities that support their values.
We are the WASPs, and we will have our revenge.

People like Trump, regardless of his politics, goes a long way towards giving people who have been silenced through intimidation. Even though Trump can much more easily withstand the slings and arrows than most, his willingness to take the hits and still fight back gives courage to others.
Lets hope it motivates true leaders who will restore our republic rather than someone who will simply use it as a means to accomplish something even worse. Times like this in the past gave us Hitlers and Stalins and Mao's.
Goldberg? As if anyone needs to be misdirected by reading ziocrap. That tribes at the top of the list for PC Bullshit. Poor persecuted me, they say, and don't you dare call my lies, or you'll be in jail for hate speech. So, no thanks to any links from some zio.
Too bad that idiot in SC shot up a church!
DId he really?
I notice there was a Chekist-ahem, DHS drill going on simultaneously, and standard biohazard cleanup protocols were once again ignored.
What I noticed is that none of the 'victims' family members seemed sad or angry. They all had smiles during interviews, and like Sandy Hook parents, kept smiling and talking about love and forgiveness.
BULL FUCKING SHIT>
Shoot my mom or my kid and I will be very angry and sad for a long time. I will not go on tv smiling and talking about how I forgive the shooter. I submit that most humans would not do that.
There is something odd about Sandy Hook and Charleston. The R's false flags are big events, and the D's false flags are emotional heart string pulling events.. the children! the innocent old church people! We must ban guns! We must ban certain elements of this nation's history!
If the blacks and PC whites wanted to piss of large swathes of white people, going after their heritage and ancestors for rebelling against the cuntish fedgov. To me the Stars and Bars represents the same sentiments as the Gadsden flag.
Central government: FUCK OFF>
I actually would relish destroying domestic enemies more than I would foreign.
I think this is the first war effort in US History that has been fought PURELY for monetary gain.
I can't think of a SINGLE public interest that has been served by the so called "War on Terror."
Not a SINGLE FUCKING ONE.
So "now they get an actual Capitalist running" (Trump...who already has the TM btw) and they're SHOCKED I tell you SHOCKED that "somebody other than their vainglorious ass might win here."
Oh the affrontery of it all!!!
Don't the McCains, Onamas, Clintons etc realize WE'RE SUPPOSE TO BE THANKING THEM FOR DESTOYING AMERICA!
Yes, indeed. God forbid if they look in the mirror and see someone who has been playing this game a lot longer and a lot better than they ever did.
Oh and...yeah, "he wants more than the money now too."
I respect folks who run for office don't get me wrong...but talk about a gale force wind(bag) in your face.

Watters' World: Politically correct edition | On Air ...
This is a weak article for many reasons, but I'll point out one thing...
"Frankly, who gives a rip what the state has to say in terms of your relationships or mine?"
It matters in terms of law. How next of kin works, how contracts like pensions and SS works, end of life decisions, etc. If the author really cared to know about these things as much as he claims, he would at least know that.
Don't confuse the stupidity of how issues are presented wtih the actual issues.
In Sweden, preschool kids aged 4-5 were forced to carry rainbow flags and attend a gay right parade. The schools administration said the kids could not learn soon enough that gays are good. The sight of toddlers with rainbow flags and liberal adults leading them by the hand along the parade route of gays, was more than a bit sickening. I too do not care what gays do in private. I do care about non parents using a school setting to indoctrinate toddlers to support gays, when the kids don't know what gay is. The liberal left in Sweden is a group of fanatics and femi-nazis. Were I a parent of a toddler forced into a gay parade, I would approach the teacher who dragged them there, and drop kick her ass at least 50 meters in the air.
Sweden is the most progressive Islamic republic in the world.
Three or even four year olds do not care what flag they are waving.
edit: and that is ok with me.
Fumsich Meters (50 Meters)... Mein Got, Sie sind Ein European!
LOL
Well I'm thinking you must be a dude if you could think of kicking someone 150 feet.
Actually
- I think there are Recruiters for the Gays
- I am easily offended by aggressive gay men
- I don't think I have ever seen a gay parade, I know sure the people feel some kind of glee about waving a flag, just like soccer fans or something in Europe where they sing/chant to show team spirit
There must be a place for showing team spirit... but I am perplexed by brainless flag waving by people that left one country of 1% Rapists to Wave the Same Flag in their new home...
I guess there is no Planet Gay or Gay Country... unless it is Thailand or San Fransisco or Berlin or Paris or Whatever.
Yeah, Parents Screw with Kids heads through Domination, Yelling, Anger...
No one has apologized to me for what Feminism and liberalism has done to me. No one bothered to ask either. There have been no studies. There is no Money or funding for this.
I'm sure the 1% are happy to protect their kids, and to send their kids to protected schools with special water, special medical treatment, and unlimited support that keeps them from toxic environments or Politically Correct Forums.
Nuff Said.
"Were I a parent of a toddler forced into a gay parade, I would approach the teacher who dragged them there, and drop kick her ass at least 50 meters in the air."
Trouble is, you can't do that in Sweden, Jack. They will find something wrong with your kid and take it away from you, calling you an abuser, if you dare resist. Sweden is TOTALITARIAN.
Am I misunderstanding the cartoon?
Lady Liberty doesn't really look like Caitlyn
PC is Political Cleansing
Political Correctness is like trying to pick up a turd from the clean end. -Daniel Tosh
The point of political correctness is to erase a persons ability to critically think.
So let's ponder a Trump Adminstration for a minute.
Rudy Giuliani as Attorney General (NY, check), Jamie Dimon as Secretary of Treasury (New York, check), CEO of Citigroup as next Fed Chair (Connecticut...close enough, check), CEO of Contnental Resources next head of DOE (North Dakota, Wall Street...close enough, check), CEO of Union Pacific Head of DOT (Nebraska, Wall Strett...close enough, check), Anglelina Jolie in charge of HHS (Glitterati...close enough, check) Arnold Schwarzenegger as Secretary of Defense ("rowdy Holywood set is all!"...triple check on that one)
Talk about a PARTY.
"Fuck politics period!"
The San Francisco Bay Area millenials don't exactly champion PC; it's more that they have never known any other condition. This is why I believe they will roll over and over and over as the Nanny State envelopes. They have their Whole Foods, their EAT24 Food app, and their games. They live inside and through their little pocket toys which they fingerfuck incessantly. They are barely aware that there is a major drought. They think food comes from EAT24. But Christ on a bike, try objecting to some hairy dude in assless chaps with a dildo waggling from his anus and you will hear it ...
Now see there....proof that we need some political correctness! I got to go to bed now with that image stuck in my head!!
"They have their Whole Foods, their EAT24 Food app, and their games. They live inside and through their little pocket toys which they fingerfuck incessantly."
Pure genius!! +1000
pc can get my wrinkly nuts smeared all over it.
I had tortilla chips and ice cubes alot for dinner because i was a latchkey kid, watched threes company like mad. my mom was gone, either with some dive instructor or god only knows. I did my own shit, sata nd made comic books, it wasnt always some tv family shit or money for tomato soup and grilled cheese.
Sometimes just sleep for dinner, my youngest memory is hearing my ma and dad scream at each other in a tiny apartment and grabbing a canteen and going into the pantry to stay in, thats was i took a leak in, a camping canteen with some macrome lines across it.
I stepped over some kneecapped dealer screaming his face off with his ugly wife crying downstairs to walk to school, saw a firing range suicide not 2 feet from me, got interviewed but i dont think it aired, or maybe it did.
My best pal i had was a kid who drew comic books with me, he got killed by a drunk priest. This and more was before i was maybe 12 or 13. If this is white priviledge then i want a trade.
Im a possessive man now, you touch my shit or grab my money, i dont care how many jesus and muhammeds show up, with any current waving paper with type. im sneaky and basically a firearms instructor, fuck em.
Brandon always writes entertaining, thought provoking articles and this one is pretty good. One can see how stealth PC can affect people when they use the word Gay rather than Homosexual. Some PC is so subtle that people aren't even aware when they are affected... maybe even Brandon.
Good write Brandon...
I though gay was PC for fagot.....I had no idea.
Couldn't we just say that gay people are strange....Quicker and to the point.
Much of this PC-homo-feminism crap exists only as legal fictions in a fucking bubble known as post-modern decadent America during domestic peacetime.
The hard truth is, the minute the shit truly hits the fan (real war, solar flare, etc), all of this PC-homo-feminism stuff flies right out the window and those who used to revel in it had better get back in the closet quick, buy a plane ticket to Argentina, or learn how to do the low crawl.
Hmmm...this is kind of the same garbage anyone who has resisted change has spewed anytime they feel the world moving ahead of them faster than their thinking allows. Try to open your mind more.
I say this and agree with this post in a lot of ways, but the issue is that we have become so rude, crass, impatient, and unloving in our culture and the reaction to this is to force people to do so in some hamfisted manner which seems loving and thoughful, but is just PC. We therefore react to the inauthetic nature of these actions. This is sad.
Add that to half the people being below 100 in IQ, a heafty does of lack of empathy and compassion, and we have 95% of the comments on the internet, let alone digging into some of the mental health issues many of commenters on here must have to say some of the shit they do.
Dont fear the change, dont fear the people, fear the idiots who think they are so right they cannot open their minds for a moment to see what else there might be out there - be them PC morons clinging to word choice matter, or some of the clearly mentally ill right wing-nut-jobs commenting here.
Right. And ignore thousands of years of civilization and embrace change, no matter the cost. The religion of progress which has been telling you to throw out the old and embrace the new and fear not the costs for they will be borne by the collective? Don't be a fool.
The hardest thing in the world for us to accept is that something may be as good as it gets, yet we continue to fuck with it, to improve it, especially if our ego and pride tell us we must in order to prove our intelligence. What great progress can you point to that has any real track record to prove success? I would even question the elimination of slavery as doubtful given how it has been replaced not by freedom but a more viral form of dependency that threatens our continued existence. If this continued progress eventually climaxes as a world war to end all wars, will you see it as some failure of government to harness our new found "goodness" or accept that what you thought was progress was only progression to our end?
"What you call progress, I call the rape of the natural world."
We just held a court debate on political correctness on Q99X2 and ordered all those in support of it condemned to death.

If I drank I think I'd have a double on that one. Too bad the bastard didn't die.
Quite a few people here have commented recently about ascending out of Neocon, Neolib and other ideologies. They did do because they were always searching for the truth and if one looks long enough eventually your bound find it.
If your of the truth seeking variety you'll keep looking even after you think you have found it because you just can't help yourself. You'll probably hit that youtube video on the top of the thread even though you know are taking a risk doing so... because you want to know.
Are some people just wired differently? This tendency is not favored by natural selection in a modern environment. People who dig for the truth or even spread the truth easily end up on pikes. There is more information available then ever before and look around... nobody gives a shit. No curiosity...just gay wedding cakes.
I'm gonna agree with you largely without really reading a whole lot of it. Below are some of your bullets.
"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
- People Must Be Forced To Bake Gay Cakes
- Gender Bending Does Not Make You Special
- There Is No Such Thing As ‘White Privilege’
- The Cost Of Cultural Marxism
But if you don't think that in the Federal Government people are not promoted, hired, recognized, and used because they are people of color or female or maybe transgender or handicapped or something else... well let me tell you a horror story sometime. Same for the Military. There is a level of ignorance which can't be explained without some kind of discussion of cultural differences and how people are oriented differently.
Something about how if the Catholic church can take a child for 7 years he can make a great christian. Some of our Elected Officials are trained and some aren't. Not that we would all agree on what the training should be. A military guy after 20-25 years of service will follow the devil himself in some cases simply since he was explained what he should do and what the goals are.
That is partly why I say there should be term limits or service limits to military people in government... after 25 years or so... the military guy/gal has a network he knows he can rely on... where other people don't have such tight networks... clearly the government can be taken over by networks. We just are not sure how to deal with Ivy League Graduates other that also limiting government service to 20 years fo appointees and to 25 -30 years for civilian hires and total of 25 years for military who join civil service.
Well pick your numbers for term limits.
And then look at term limits for lawyers, judges, lobbyist, and politicians. These people are destroying laws, tax law, tax jurisdiction, through loopholes and subsidies and contract awards and privatizations. It never ends.
Consider Term limits for judges, lawyers, lobbyist, politicians.
George Lucifer Satan Bush broke his neck today. How sad.

Excellent non- sequitur. Combined with a Bush bash, this must mean we have a Mensa contributor. We eagerly await your next morsel.
The latest I heard on the radio today was 'economic abuse'. There are now female lawyer types agitating for legislation to prevent women being economically abused by their male partners.
What's next, existential abuse? You're married so a potential abuser tax?
Interesting, I can use that next time my husband says we can't afford something. #joke
I once taught a class at a RABIDLY LIBERAL university {IUPUI}. After a while, it was evident that a large share of the students were lefties {not surprised}. I decided I was going to show them what socialism really was. I asked them to bring to class what they considered their most prized possession {car excluded}, and spend a few minutes telling everyone why it was so dear to them. They did. What they failed to notice was the large box in the corner. When everyone was finished, I told them to bring up their prized possession, and place it in the box in the corner. I told them how selfish they were, and how their goodies no longer belonged to them, but now belonged to the class as a whole. I also told them that no matter how hard they worked to get an "A", the course would be graded "on curve" {you remember that one don't you} and everyone would receive the average of the scores. By now they were ready to drop the class! I told them the real purpose behind this exercise, and of course none of it was real. After a few days I'm sure they went back to their old leftist ways of thinking, but for that night, they had a little taste of what socialism really is, and they didn't like it at all. I soon left the school when I had differences with the chairperson of the department. I could not stomach it any more anyway. I was only an adjunct.
"I also told them that no matter how hard they worked to get an "A", the course would be graded "on curve" {you remember that one don't you} and everyone would receive the average of the scores."
The first thing you said about socialism is right, the second one, not so much. The "average" thingy works for "cultural revolution" Maoism, not for the USSR which made a point of cultivating brains.
Trouble being that when people have no hope of ever making more than an average living, they generally don't bother much. To their credit, the Soviets got around that obstacle by idolizing knowledge and providing excellent free education for all.
They had to. They were up against a major power, the USA, and they desperately needed brainpower, so they got it. BTW, the USSR education system is where the nowadays ruling political Russian class comes from. If there is one thing they can't be blamed for, it is lack of literacy and expertise.
Jews basically invented Marxism and the Frankfurt school of thought, and the media is controlled by Jews. Dr. Gerald L. Atkinson outlines the proposed tactics of the early cultural Marxists. The immediate goal is to destroy “all barriers to the introduction of more women and minorities throughout the power structure’.” These methods of so doing include “laws and lawsuits, intimidation, and demonizing of white males as racists and sexists.” A strangle-hold on popular media and the universities and what they are allowed to say and teach is a key element of their long-term goals.
Do we really NOT understand who the REAL enemy is?!?!?
I currently work with a team of 18 persons in the range of 25/30 years, there are two guys over 50.

excellent article...
"They actually think that they are on some great social crusade on par with the civil rights movements of the mid-1900s."
The road to hell is paved with good intentions as they say... and if gays can have rights, then what about red neck hicks and KKK ? If I want to wear a bedsheet and holler about niggers... surely I'm at liberty to do so... Its my body I can do what I want with it no ?
The younger generation will have to learn the hard way. There will be hardly any street smart left. Most of them will be either book smart or pure retard.
They won't know how to question for themselves. They just google it.
Your attack on trans people is wrong. You argue that the biological basis is fixed, yet that is exactly the trans argument. Studies show female brain structures in trans individuals. And we know two mechanisms whereby gender specification does not fully occur in utero. The trans argument is precisely the biological argument - that the brain is female gendered. In our poisoned pressured world this may occur more and more as a species survival mechanism. People who make the reductionist argument against trans people, citing chromosomes, fail to consider all the complex chromosome cases as well. Or AIS. Gender is in fact much more complex than male / female. Since health insurance does not cover chromosome analysis most trans people never know if they are chromosomally male or not, or if they are a XXY. Since we can only determine brain gender at death, it is unfair to not grant these people the benifit of the doubt when they have strong signaling to the non conforming gender.
"Since health insurance does not cover chromosome analysis most trans people never know if they are chromosomally male or not, or if they are a XXY."
Please consider basing yourself on something else than vague well-meaning opinions. You don't need a chromosome analysis to spot people with male-female chromosome dysfunctions. They have a way to show up in the physique. To begin with, the genitals are always abnormal at birth (generally they're atrophied).
A real being "Born in the wrong body" SHOWS. When it doesn't, look for psychological issues, the unfortunate results of fads or much, much worse, a history of abuse.
Have a good day.
And to add to that point...
Whether it's biologically baked in the cake or a mental condition is kind of irrelevant from a social policy perspective.
Either way, it shouldn't be celebrated or even accepted. It's an obvious malfunction. A trans person didn't turn out right. The biological blueprint for a species like humans is 2 genders/sexes. It's how we reproduce and keep, you know, humanity going. Anything outside of that is deviant.
"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."
Here we go again. This need to blame the "commies" only fuels American paranoia, which is bad enough as it is. The US protestant culture is the cause, not "collectivism". Everywhere on Earth, Protestantism has always generated high levels of conformism to counteract its endless fostering of differing opinions. You have to have some sort of social glue, and if the only thing people can agree on is disagreeing, conformism steps in to keep everybody in line.
Conformism, in other words, PC. From the totalitarianism of the early Puritan colonies to the moralistic liberal hordes of today, it's only a matter of reversing the moral imperatives of the day. Can't you see all this liberal PC only consists in declaring good what was considered bad and make it into a new moral compass for the whole of society?
It's only the return of the old protestant morality, only upside down and just as totalitarian as it ever was.
"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."
And this guy was a liberal? Take a wealthy white kid. He's brought up in an environment that knows TV won't do as a nurse. He will have proper nurses, maybe even some who will teach him a foreign language, read him stories out of real books, etc.
Take a black kid. His mother has two jobs and barely makes ends meet. No money for a nurse, so TV will do. And what about his role models? Brain-dead rappers.
So, obviously, one will make it to the university, while the other will barely know how to write his name. Despite the fact the black kid can be brighter to begin with (I know I'll get red-arrowed for daring suggest a black kid can beat a white one at brains, which will only serve to prove my point further, as the black kid will have to face sheer hate from some white fools who think whites are inherently superior or something. The same who will red-arrow me will hate him for even thinking about succeeding. So for him, yes, it will be more of an uphill battle than for his white counterparts.
"The result is a vast division within American society that cannot be mended."
That's why it can't be collectivism, which tends to centralize in favor of the 99%, but divisiveness, which is meant to keep people at each other's throats so they can never unite against a common enemy. The Empires dictum "Divide and conquer" doesn't only apply to foreign policy. It begins at home.
"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"
You've got it. That is exactly what they want.
Divide, conquer and decree a totalitarian rule through enforced moralistic conformism. Everybody hating everybody but toeing the line for fear of getting sacked. In the end, a society paralyzed by its inner conflicts and for them, victory.
You lost my interest here "Almost every stepping stone that Barack Obama is using today to eradicate the Constitution was set in place by the Bush dynasty". Sorry, folks, these are only the 'gofers' in all this dirty work, they are the lowest level grunts, doing what they are told (or lest they end up like Kennedy).
Use Europe as the model for America. Free speech will soon be “…You are a dissident who deserves jail time for your nasty thoughts…” Just look at ZH’s recent Spain article.
So welcome to the age of the Gulag in America. My children and grand children will be working on new roads in Alaska for say things like “… I don’t like the politicians in Washington. …”
They say it will end in a fight. Well that is how this whole country started. Yep… I will go down with the skills I leaned in ‘nam. 762X51 Molon Labe. Hillary is a bitch…
Attn NSA this as a 10893 type of message…
Below is something I wrote at USACARRY a few years ago. Its coming to fruition
Our society, and it’s associated culture, have made the expected choices at the polling booth. It was a paradigm shift of epic proportions. The decisions by those in the slight majority did not come to pass by accident. It was by design and the results (Obama re-election) as I said were expected by those who have designed this current strife. To get here though, it took an investment over many years to swing public opinion into thinking traditional American values, (hard work, accountability, religion, guns, etc) are not the values our country should stand for.
The Democrat machine knew the mental capacity of our youth, coupled with its watered down education system, were ripe for reprogramming. Education camps? Not such a stretch to believe the deliberate infiltration of liberal teachers, administrators, professors within our education system laid the foundation over the years that have come to fruition at the polls.
In addition, we have a POTUS who even today remains on the campaign trail like no other President in our history. He is the master of orchestrating social divide like no other. Obama convinced the majority you are either with me/us or you are with the 1%. An issue is, Obama has done an excellent job at eliminating opportunities that were available for the 99% to apply hard work, and acceptable risk, with hopes of entering the community of the 1%. Interesting enough, not much emphasis being made on increasing the band width of the middle class. Obama’s agenda does not allow for the middle class to thrive. He wants 2 classes for now. Those who still decide to remain in the 1% are going to be under assault for years to come, while the remainder of society will tread water right at or slightly above the poverty line. Eventually, like buying firearms, the government will do its best to influence you into not pursuing the investment of time, money and hard work to reach the 1% pool. Like the future demise, relative to the quality and availability of Physicians as a result of Obamacare, very few will want to take the risk to excel.
I’m not sure America can win this war. And make no mistake, that is exactly how it feels to many in this country who have not gone through the indoctrination process. Like I mentioned, the investment in our education system to reach this point, combined with the media assaults and the never ending coverage of the Obama’s and their escapades, have all come together at the right place and time.
I have to hand it to the Democrat machine. They made a plan, stuck with it over decades, and the investment has come to fruition.
For liberals it has to feel like Shangri-La
+1000 applause for the author.
This article was one of the stupidest and most offensive rants I have ever read. ZH presents good economic content and then makes its readers feel dirty by posting unadulterated crap like this. The point about gay marriage is equality before the law. Full stop. Marriage is and always was a legal arrangement with legal consequences. Marriage is not a religious institution for a very large number of people. Certainly my marriage is not part of any religious institution. As for this article's fantasy about the glorious liberty of segregation and Jim Crow (while at the same time saying there is no white privilege), I am extremely grateful his racist ignorance has long since past. I simply don't understand why ZH keeps publishing this kind of bullshit.
Worship state much?
Grimaldus
This is one of the most ignorant posts I've read in a long time. The "glorious liberty of segregation" has nothing at all to do with the author's article. Segregation was a public ( government ) policy. The author clearly differentiates between equality IN THE EYES OF THE LAW and the individual's right to freedom of association. A private bakery with religious convictions having refused to bake a gay wedding cake is NOT segregation.
Next up: pedophilia.
In all seriousness, it should be polygamy.
After the SCOTUS forced the country to "accept" homo marriage, having polygamy legalized nationwide should be a slamdunk. Why not?
You'll be able to marry everyone in your entire neighborhood! Think of the possibilities!
I lost a friend over that cake argument. Gay guy who felt he could not be friends with someone who had the view that a baker ( or any other individual ) should have the right to refuse to do business with whomever he wants. Likewise, I believe in the customer's right not to do business with whomever HE wants. Of course, if it were a black baker who refused to bake a cake for a KKK event, I'm sure the PC crowd would accomodate him.
These days, if you believe everyone should be treated equally, you're a bigot.
The baker repulsed by in-your-face-faggotry should smile, take their money and make them a shitty cake.
Gonna be a fight.
Grimaldus
It is just another method of control. If you creating false divisions or exacerbate existing ones and encourage people to argue or even fight then the Central Planning Authority can enforce solutions which mean more control and less freedom. Liberty is hard work and it takes sacrifice and sometimes pain, but it is worth it. Faith in God is the only real hope for change - and the only real reason for change.
Despite what we are told we cannot live in freedom without risk.
Guy I know has his own business.
Nearly fell foul of all this PC shite, couple of years ago some fucking half wit liberal cunt decided he was going to make waves when this guy rightly figured out this was just a trouble-making cock sucker and told him no uncertain terms to fuck off that he wasn't having the cunt on his lot or doing business with him.
Took him months to get things sorted out and cost a lot.
But he learned his lesson,
Now he outsources every customer who comes to him, The only possible way they can order anything is to do it through his off shore outsourcer who takes orders and arranges deliveries and simply tells anyone who drops by that they need to order through the email he gives them and they process orders.
He doesn't allow any staff to take any order whatsoever ad they are there purely to discuss products and demonstrate them and answer questions.
Never has troubles now, legally totally immune, The outsource company is the company they order from and also invoices and receipts them and they are overseas so fuck all the libtard PC cock suckers can do,
Doesn't want to deal with anyone, easy,, just says he got no order to deliver anything to them.
Brilliant article, but one suggestion, Call fucking faggots and blacks niggers and and PC raddled fuck wits PC raddled fuck wits.
Piss them off, treat them like the fucking morons they are, and if they don't like it tell them to fuck off.
But one thing thing is for sure, come to the day the civil war starts these lefty socialistic commie cock suckers will will be bursting into tears if you shout boo at them or screaming for their mammy.
These little shit for brains couldn't even pluck a chicken, so what they gonna do when you are using a tire lever on their face with venom.
Your friend's solution to his business challenges is creative. Your own venom is completely understandable. However, you really do completely miss the point.
I think Psquared said it perfectly just below at http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-15/future-costs-politically-correc... .
It is not an accident that we are being divided into violently hostile groups. Sufficient members of the various groups will empower the central authority to provide for their security, thereby perpetuating and strengthening the chains that bind us all.
zh, i am glad that you started this topic... but, remember the questions that I have asked you... what is your responsibility?
Not to nitpick here. But, white IS a color, and it is THE most discriminated against of all the colors. If you're white, "Minorities" get preferential treatment at YOUR cost. They are guaranteed a percentage of the population at universities, regardless of lower achievement. They are guaranteed positions of power. They are guaranteed positions in government. They are guaranteed a percentage of the jobs I win. I have to give away work to DBE's not because the DBE is any good, but b/c I'm white.
FUCK. they don't even do the work. We do the work and they skim off the top. They get a fucking cut for doing nothing. I want to leave this country and its fucking insanity. This country is willfully insane. It's incredible.
madcows, it is not just this country.
arguably, europe is worse. they are even disarmed.
you are fighting a behind the scenes power that is immense. politicians, think tanks, foundations, the educational system and of course the media. quite simply they have it boxed in from all sides.
No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?
the latest example of their power is the confederate flag brouhaha. think that was waiting for the spark? maybe the spark was even planned.
Political Correctness is the result of having 50-55% of The House and Senate being Attorneys/Trial Lawyers. PC=Litigation=Big money for Law Firms. The threat of a lawsuit is all it takes to shut someone up or a business down.. The Politicans are the Lawyers. The Lawyers pass laws that benefit their industry and themselves.... The Law profession is corrupt especially at the Federal level...Where's John Corzine? Yep, he's an attorney...Remember the biggest donors to the Politicians(especially the Democrat party) are Trial Lawyers....

Just put a sign in your bakery "Due to recent events we now serve fags, but policians not allowed"
I still remember the very first time I ever heard the term "politically correct"...I think it was in the late 80s. An acquaintence's father, a university professor, had written an op-ed and used the term. I don't remember exactly how he used it, but it was creepy enough to scare me. It still does. It's one of the clearest examples of an oxymoron there is. And for some reason it brings to mind things like Soviet airbrushing and WWII propaganda posters.
ITS CALLED DIVIDE AND CONQUER. PERIOD.
They coopted the educational system years ago. the plan has been long in the making. Coerced compliance with the agenda of our betters.
In another episode, TRUMP IS A VOTER REGISTRATION MACHINE FOR HILLARY. They expect 5 million new latino voters because of trump. they can register basically for free. google it, article at Daily Mail. Guiterez, that little shit, is on this like a fly on shiite.
and obama made it all possible.
you will have one world government whether you like it or not.
"Today, though, liberal concerns about unconstitutional actions by the federal government have all but vanished." The 'left' only protests when the 'right' is in power.
Yes, the only solutions for sane folks are: fight & evade. However, any "fight" must be with the predators-that-be who prohibit and impose behavior upon individuals.
Those parasites who are so deluded as to propose prohibit and impose behavior are morons and jerks. But fighting these parasites just diverts time, effort and energy from those who must be eliminated... the predators who prohibit and impose under threat and acts of violence.
As a matter of fact, individualists should exterminate every human predator. There can be no middle ground. Human predators cannot be treated like honest, ethical, productive, benevolent human producers, because by their nature, the predators always win. If a wild lion is attacking you (predator), to attempt to persuade, negotiate, charge with crime, hold court hearings and so forth is suicide... the producer ALWAYS looses (is eaten).
The same is true with human predators (the most diabolical and dangerous predators). To attempt to deal with them as "civilized beings" (honest, ethical, productive, benevolent) CANNOT work.
The attempt to make this impossible idea work has DESTROYED THE HUMAN ATTEMPT AT CIVILIZATION. Yet honest, ethical, productive, benevolent human beings continue to attempt the impossible. And for that reason, they will perish.
Let's be clear. If only 1% of the human populations fully understood what I am pointing at here, and was willing to make every effort and dedication to exterminate human predators in wise, efficient ways, they would prevail. Maybe even 0.1% of the human population would be sufficient.
But probably only 0.000001% of the human population is willing. Therefore the "fight option" is impractical. Only the "evade option" remains.
And so, humans are finished. Which is to say, human predators and human parasites SHALL destroy every honest, ethical, productive, benevolent human being that does not make substantial efforts to hide, vanish, disappear, and establish some place and situation that is "out of sight, out of mind" and largely self-sufficient.
And to all good folks like the author who imagine they can educate and motivate that 1% to exterminate the predators... you have no chance. You waited much, much, vastly too long. Face it... you FLAT OUT LOST the "cultural revolution", and the only options that remain are submission to evil, painful [drawn-out] death, or get the hell outta dodge, vanish, and establish a largely self-sufficient life.
I often wonder why those in key US government positions are intellectual retards, despite their finest ivy league education money can buy: Harvard and Yale are hot beds of crypto-communism and cretinism. You Yanks are well and truly fucked intellectually to resolve any problem – and home-schooling is not the answer.
Despite the author’s claim of pc predominance, you are still the most powerful – and fucked-up – nation today. PC is very simple: don’t call me a cunt, and I won’t call you a nigger/grease-ball/front-wheel skid/inbred-redneck-cowboy-faggot. Very simple, with no academic pretension.
Yet another piss-poor, right-wing shit-bag rant against the Left. Get a life.
