I think we are now into "fourth wave feminism" and all we have to show for it are increasingly unhappy women. One wonders if these unhappy women will finally figure out that feminism IS the reason for their unhappiness.<br />If one is truly a feminist then one has to be unhappy that the machinations and corruption of Hillary are only serving to make feminism look bad and weakening the cause of equality.<br />If one thinks this is going away after the election then one is "whistling past the grave yard." Between Hillary and Obama there is not a department/agency of the federal government that has not been tarnished by them. The DOJ has morphed into the Department of Injustice with more interest in power vice Justice. The US Marshall's service looks and acts more like stormtroopers. The FBI, which has been the "cleanup the mess crew for the BATF, et al," is fighting the DOInjustice to at least keep their honor intact despite Comey's actions whether good or bad. The IRS looks like a political agency in thrall to the DNC. I could go on, but I suspect the number of people who now trust the federal government is diminishing almost exponentially as each day passes. Once the distrust of the legal system and the government take hold we will have a country in crisis.<br />Again one has to ask just how much damage has been done to the legal system, which is losing credibility and trust, and the other agencies of government? How long is it before the government has such contempt for the American people and the people for it that it no longer thinks it is in service to those citizens?<br />I have to admit I cry at the thought of the people who have died to protect this nation. Have died for this!!!! Especially poignant given Veteran's Day. Is this the time when we sell our culture and nation for our addition to other people's money and not taking responsibility for our own lives?Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-46434411542476633352016-11-02T19:40:31.791-07:002016-11-02T19:40:31.791-07:00Do I have to remind this audience that all this st...Do I have to remind this audience that all this started getting ramped up as our higher education became 60%+ cunt? <br /><br />Not to mention that we are about to install one in The Oval Office.sestamibinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-27684973995121404822016-11-02T16:43:27.323-07:002016-11-02T16:43:27.323-07:00Stuart: Do companies want to hire a student who an...Stuart: Do companies want to hire a student who announces from the beginning that he will not feel any special loyalty to the company? <br /><br />It is curious that loyalty is a social virtue, because it favors people and institutions you know over people and institutions you don't know, no matter what virtues or character those people or institutions contain. Should you show more loyalty to a company than it shows to you - and it can lay you off at-will, if market forces demand it. On the other hand, a company that does across the board pay cuts in hard times may have earned some loyalty by employees.<br /><br />And Thomas Frank's article yesterday shows the consequences of loyalty - what is proposed to be meritocratic can be merely self-interested, using status capital to reward your friends, and exclude people who don't fit into the right sort of boxes, you know, even conservatives may not fit in this closed circle loyalty.<br /><br />So to me the problem isn't disloyaly questioning superiors who are cutting legal or ethical corners to get ahead, but how to not stay quiet, when you're being well-rewarded for being quiet, like Upton Sinclair's "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.:<br /><br />The failure of the SJW is what professor Jordan Peterson described as the <br />"PC game" that tries to identify winners and losers, and claim the losers are being oppressed by the winners, and take sides with the losers, and pretend to be self-righteous while you try to punish the winners, and never ask whether this causes a new oppression.<br /><br />I think the Drama Triangle properly contains this failure, as soon as you divide the world to simplify it, you're part of the problem. And the "victim" stance is the most devious because it promotes self-pity and convinced you of your innocence to a situation.<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpman_drama_triangle<br /><br />So the solution to this problem is that SJW have to accept that any single narrative is too small to contain a full truth of any situation, and even dishonesty can be "honorable" if it is promoting social harmony - no one needs to know your deepest conviction on why they are wrong. And there's probably no right answer for when to be loyal, and when to stand alone.<br /><br />I suppose I'd go with E.F.Schumacher if I could:<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Guide_for_the_Perplexed#The_tasks_of_humanity<br />---<br />He says that the tasks of an individual can be summed up as follows:<br />1. Learn from society and tradition.<br />2. Interiorize this knowledge, learn to think for yourself and become self-directed.<br />3. Grow beyond the narrow concerns of the ego.<br />---<br /><br />And if something like this is taught in schools, I think some of the excesses of the SJW can be self-correcting over time.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-34557278205201558842016-11-02T16:27:32.139-07:002016-11-02T16:27:32.139-07:00"We can absorb a terrorist attack."

This is the fruit of our Obama diplomacy.<br /><br />Good thing we have an armed citizenry in America, and people with concealed carry. I have no doubt whatsoever that these Iranians are serious, that they're here, that they've been here, and they mean us harm. They're waiting to be unleashed. Intelligence circles have known this for a long time. This is the leverage the Iranians have over us. They love death.<br /><br />What a disgrace this Administration is.

As more and more young men are taught that women want the "sensitive guy," there's a great betrayal. Because it's nonsense. Women want to respect a man, and that man gains respect for being his word, protecting his family and standing for something. And I believe most men gain confidence from these same traits. So men and women ultimately want that same thing, so there is great possibility for alignment. Masculinity does not have to be destroyed so femininity will be respected. <br /><br />This pastel-colored fairy metrosexual stuff is just silly. You look at what happens when a gaggle of girls sees a man in military uniform walk in a room and tell me that 95% of the women in this world want pretty men. It's self-evident. At some point in America, men are going to have to tell all the angry cackling hens to shut up so more men can get their dignity back!Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-2134745953373726552016-11-02T10:27:41.537-07:002016-11-02T10:27:41.537-07:00Their side is RIGHT.

I started playing back his arguments, viz "so you're making the point that X" and at least giving the appearance of considering them contemplatively before responding to them. The senior executive in the room later mentioned to me that he had been very impressed with my approach to the debate...'stepping back a little before advancing'...and it did me a lot of good, I think.David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-33656370037423511752016-11-02T07:37:08.131-07:002016-11-02T07:37:08.131-07:00Good, straightforward read: SJWs Always Lie: Takin...Good, straightforward read: <i>SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police</i> by Vox Day.Trigger Warningnoreply@blogger.com
