The ‘Horrible Secret’ and Orwell in Spain

Thus, the first priority of the Soviet communists controlling the Spanish government was not fighting Franco’s army but the extermination of anarchists and Trotskyites (mostly internationalist, Jewish socialist revolutionaries). The anarchists were considered enemies because their political philosophy was diametrically opposed to that of the communists, and they refused to give up their weapons. [More]

They’re useful idiots until they’re not.

Dr. Miguel Faria takes us from Stalin ratting out his comrades to a Nazi/commie alliance of convenience and beyond, and shows how everything about murderous collectivists is a subversive assault against humanity.

That’s why they want our guns.

Sowing the Wind

Shouldn’t Trump Voters Be Viewed as Traitors? The magazine’s Ethicist columnist on whether voters should be held accountable for their chosen candidate’s behavior. [More]

Kwame Anthony Appiah of The Newsraper of Record evidently wants Republicans tried and either imprisoned or executed as the tribunals see fit.

If we’re talking accountability, Bill Clinton’s Rules of Engagement seem a pretty good place to start.

That’ll Show Us!

It’s not a procedure you’d expect a 28-year-old to be planning. But for Lydia Echols from Texas, having her fallopian tubes removed is the price she’s willing to pay to ensure her reproductive rights. [More]

So, Newsweek managed to find a handful of democracy-hating Democrat drama queens choosing to permanently remove their choices… no, don’t try to make sense out of it.

Or primal screams of rage.

Or siding with the allies of the authors of this “How To” manual:

And, of course, they don’t want women — or anyone besides enslavers — to be armed.

So, we’re supposed to believe lunatics removing themselves from the gene pool is a bad thing?

Now shave your heads and tell us you won’t have sex (not that there was ever much danger in the first place)

The Five Pillars of Tyranny

Hallmarks of Tyranny in an Evolving Social Democracy [More]

Dr. Miguel Faria shows us the fundamental commonalities shared by despotic regimes, all of them recognizable and in various stages of imposition in our own society.

If you read one thing today, make this it. Then do the people within your sphere of influence a great service by sharing it with them.

So, When Do We Get Our MAGA Armbands?

‘America Voted for Dictatorship’: Malcolm Nance Predicts Mass Deaths, Warns Minorities of ‘Roundups,’ ‘Camps’ [More]

But…but…but Van said only Republicans called Trump Hitler…

It’s almost like they’re provoking their own low-hanging fruit into doing something that will get some of them killed so they can exploit that to spark wider disruptions…

Now tell me what Trump, who they’ve wanted to prosecute for J6 comments, said that was remotely this inflammatory.

Stephanie Must Be Fun at Thanksgiving

This paper positions public mass gun violence (PMGV) as an intergenerational consequence of the violence of colonization, coloniality, and slavery in the United States. I map how the shooter’s white privilege, alongside his white/male fragility, combined with a national consciousness built on an ethos of colonization and coloniality, leads him to believe he has unearned “rights” to the social riches of the center. I proffer that most of us who benefit from capitalist, neo-liberal, patriarchal state and social institutions are complicit in co-creating the conditions that produce PMGV’s gunboys and gunmen because in order to benefit from these institutions, we perpetuate a system of insiders and outsiders. As illustrated, some possibilities for allaying violence are grounded in practicing critical self-reflection and capacities for discomfort. [More]

Angry and militant feminist collectivists get to using Marxist buzzwords and I be like

Especially when my name pops up for no apparent reason:

It’s just not worth it to me to pay to see what I supposedly have to do with any of this, aside from not being too fragile to identify as a male and a father, and not overly worried if some bitter frostback believes using loaded terms like “gunboys” enhances her academic gravitas…

Come Celebrate with Me!

Received via email:

Really? I’m a member? Even though I never joined or contributed a dime and only allow their spam in to keep track of and call attention to their ever hysterical and ludicrous propaganda?

So when they claim “MoveOn has since grown into one of the largest and most impactful grassroots progressive campaigning communities in the United States, with a membership of millions,” that’s just them spreading more bull$h!+?

Better Than He Deserves

Al Sharpton says he is convinced he is on Donald Trump’s “list” and will be thrown in jail if Trump wins the election. [More]

He’s more than earned it:

Al Sharpton, who embraced and lied about that case, has his own show on MSNBC today. Although he was ordered to pay damages as well, he refused for years before his friends finally paid his debt for him.

And he wants to do it to you.

So does Deutschbag Donnie.

From Hags to B!+ches

Joy Reid Claims Black Male Trump Voters Are Part Of A ‘Global Fascist Phenomenon’ [More]

That’s because she’s an ignorant racist who doesn’t even know that her wordview is the one that’s demonstrably fascist.

Watching The View seems like grounds for divorce to me, although why anyone would let the relationship proceed that far in the first place is the real puzzler.
