Behold, a God Who Bleeds!

Faking Wokeness to Fit In – 88% of students report pretending to hold more progressive views than they really do [More]

Motives probably include everything from just plain cowardice, to wanting to avoid struggle sessions, to wanting to get a good grade, to wanting to get laid, and more. In any case, it hopefully means the David Hoggs of the world have overestimated their political clout.

There’s also the potential– once they discover they don’t need to pretend in order to keep ideological bullies at bay — that they’ll resent those who pressured them to, realize they’re neither invulnerable nor unassailable, and undergo a Salish Epiphany.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term ‘Extreme Right’ Is

Extreme Right Goes Woke: How Some “Conservatives” Now Trash Freedom & Praise Karl Marx [More]

“Conservative,” of course, is a relative term defined by time and space. That’s why the “left” is so successful at perfecting the language, something Stossel is doing here by equating his examples with “the right.”

No Constitutionalist advocates collectivist subversion.

And as much as latter-day Bolsheviks like to throw out “Nazi” and “fascist”accusations, both Hitler and Mussolini were socialists at heart.

Be careful with this guy. He says all the right words about RKBA, but when it comes to “immigration,” he’s a Groverianlibertarian” who, for all his “smartness,” is being a blind useful idiot for this.

Being “right” is never extreme. That’s what insisting on being wrong is.

Keeping It Real

As the lines between reality and fantasy continue to blur in various forms of media, the gaming industry must navigate these complexities with care. It’s not about censoring creative ideas but about understanding and communicating the distinctions between entertainment and reality clearly and responsibly. [More]

Don’t tell us.

Tell Nick’s fellow woke Democrats.

‘Progressives’ Guarantee More Violence with Support for Criminals and Infringements on Guns

It’s all consistent with a wider movement among Democrats and urban minorities to shift responsibility away from perpetrators and blame violent crime on guns. [More]

So, who are the sources, carriers and spreaders of that “epidemic of gun violence” Democrats are trying to swindle us out of our rights over?

Go Woke…

Dick’s Sporting Goods blames equity … SORRY … ‘organized retail crime’ for MASSIVE drop in profits [More]

Funny, they didn’t say a word about this the other day… About those new locations– I wonder if they’ve put them in areas where DEI is “underrepresented.”

I also wonder if they had similar floor loss problems when gun owner business was a thing for them…

Ride the Gravy Train to Equityland

ABC television network devoting two prime time hours to 1619 Project ‘documentary’ arguing for slavery reparations – There seems to be no end to the destructive propaganda emanating from the Walt Disney Company. [More]

It’s what they do.

And this does not bode well for the state of public sentiment and the likelihood of ’24 heralding a return to national senses…

Now Comes Miller Time

Gunmaker Heckler & Koch inserted themselves into the “woke beer wars” by showing support for Miller Lite’s cringeworthy feminist campaign against the use of “sexy women” in product promotions. HK praised Miller Lite for their decision not to employ sexy “bunnies” in their beer advertisements. The gunmaker took it a step further the following day, issuing a second tweet denouncing such “objectifying” advertising campaigns as “trash marketing.” [More]

I don’t have anything to do with either company except to note Miller has made its market choices and H&K always struck me as pricey disarmer armers.

That said, the use of tit girls in gun ads always struck me as disingenuous, pandering, and more than anything, existentially trivializing.

And forgive me if I also find the term “gentlemen’s club” oxymoronically absurd.

I’d Say ‘Good for the Goose, Good for the Gander,’ But I Hear That’s Offensively Binary

This game lets you play as a trans character and go around killing people who aren’t on board with the trans agenda like Priests and “TERFs” (Trans exclusionary radical feminists) like J.K. Rowling. [More]

So if I post a game where the object is to slaughter virtual trans characters nobody will try to destroy me in meat space…?

No ‘Almost’ About It

America’s latest threat, “the woke,” almost as bad as communism [More]

They either are communists or they’re willing useful idiot sympathizers.

I recall a book from years ago (Winter’s Tale?)that said something to the effect of communists are people whose insides are twisted up because they want to change the world but they can’t even get their letters to the editor published.

The communists ARE the editors and have been for some time.

Rope-GIVING ‘Capitalists’

REPORT: The Black Lives Matter Movement Has Received a Stunning $82 Billion From Corporations [More]

Paid for by end customers through higher prices, of course.

I wonder how many give because they’re truly “woke” fools, how many submit to extortion out of cowardice, and how many believe it will buy their way out of the tumbrels.
