SF creeps are creepy

Yet more sex-related scandals in the freaky world of science fiction:

Over the last 48 hours or so, the science fiction and fantasy literature field has been rocked by multiple accusations of multiple authors of improper behaviour, abuse, gaslighting, racism, misogyny, sexual coercion and authors using their platforms to engage in dogpiling and bullying.

The number of accusations has been almost overwhelming. Genre Grapevine is currently running a list of the allegations where the facts of the matter are not in dispute. Authors Paul Krueger, Myke Cole and Sam Sykes have been accused of inappropriate behaviour (Cole has subsequently been dropped by his publisher and agent, and Krueger by his agent) and others of enabling that behaviour.

It's the exact opposite of "shocking" to be informed that a field that lionizes convicted and admitted pedophiles and celebrates its sexual freaks is rife with creeps. Like, you know, our old pal McRapey, who has a pain in his tummy over the possibility of his own peccadilloes coming to light.

My friends fucked up. Not accidentally, to be clear. They made choices.

They are responsible for their wholly intentional fuck ups.

Also, I am responsible for my fuck-ups in relation to them — to what extent my friendship implies complicity with their actions, or provides cover, or has allowed me to overlook things I should have been paying attention to, or has allowed me to excuse what they were doing. This is one reason I feel like I have a small ulcer at the moment; the gnawing feeling in my gut that wonders how much of their fuck ups are at my door. In some cases, not much! In others: well, more.

(You should also know right now I definitely have that exasperated part of me that is all, like, look, I haven’t been in the same room as this guy for a couple of years! I don’t have a body cam on him! I don’t see every goddamned thing he does as he does it and to whom he does it! My brain is very full of defensive frustrated whining right now! Which is also a thing I have to work through.)

(And while I’m at it, I’m going through my own interactions with people, especially women, at conventions and other places where it turns out the power differential slides toward me. I can admit that this power differential wasn’t something I truly clued into for a while — I think it took being SFWA President to get it drilled into my head, because that was a big fuckin’ neon sign, wasn’t it — but it was there fairly early, so, uhhh, yeah. I’ve seen people commenting “well, at least we still have Scalzi,” and there’s part of my brain going, oh, man, I sure hope you do! But I also know that I have fucked up before in other places where I didn’t understand my power (see: RaceFail, now a decade back), and because of that what I did or said hurt people. That’s also a thing.)

So, yeah, I have to sit with and work through all of that.

It's delightful to be able to state that I have absolutely no connection with any of these awful people on either side. And I can't say that my own tummy hurts from laughing so hard, because I'm not really the laugh-out-loud type. But I may have smiled.

UPDATE: If, like me, you have no idea what the latest tempest in the freakshow teapot is about, it apparently is related to this:

In last night’s episode of The Horror Show With Brian Keene, he said the show’s team was aware of 10 cases of allegations involving everything from sexual coercion to sexual assault that have been made “against ten different individuals in the comic book, horror, science fiction, book-selling, convention organizer, and cosplay sectors of our industry — all of which had publicly come to light in the last 7 days.” When Keene followed up the podcast today with a public Patreon post, “Behind Closed Doors”, he said the number is up to 17.

The soyboys are finally beginning to understand why the men's club was necessary, even by their idiotic equalitarian standards. It's fine to decry the creeps and all, and I have no doubt that most of them did what they are accused of and more, but the fact is that there has been a lot of significant art created by very flawed men. I am dubious that all of the art, science, and technology created by sub-Alpha males and good Christian married men can be adequately replaced by female creators.

They KNOW they're hypocrites

They simply don't give a damn:

In a series of now-deleted tweets, Dr Priyamvada Gopal, a lecturer who specializes in postcolonial literature and “critical race studies” at the University of Cambridge’s Churchill College, announced that “white lives don’t matter,” and that whiteness should be “abolished.” Unsurprisingly, she received mountains of criticism for her divisive utterances.

In the current racially charged era, one might assume Cambridge would want to distance itself from her radical pronouncements, but it seems to have assumed a bolder position. “The university defends the right of its academics to express their own lawful opinions, which others might find controversial, and deplores, in the strongest terms, abuse and personal attacks,” the prestigious institution tweeted on Wednesday, adding that any attacks leveled against its faculty were “totally unacceptable and must cease.”

The University defends the right of its academics to express their own lawful opinions which others might find controversial and deplores in the strongest terms abuse and personal attacks. These attacks are totally unacceptable and must cease.

The statement elicited howls of “hypocrisy!” from social media, with numerous commentators pointing out that Cambridge was clearly selective when it came to defending controversial opinions. In March 2019, the university withdrew Canadian professor of psychology Jordan Peterson’s fellowship, after staff and students protested. Peterson, who rose to prominence after deriding the compulsory use of gendered pronouns, has been accused of being transphobic – an allegation he denies. Announcing its decision to withdraw the fellowship, the university said it aimed to foster an “inclusive environment” and that all staff and visitors must uphold those principles.

If this doesn't convince conservatives that their "this just proves" approach to tirelessly exposing hypocrisy on the Left is pointless, I don't know what will.

White liberals learn slowly

But they have begun the educational process of discovering that they won't be eaten last:

Protesters wrapped chains around “Forward,” the bronze statue of a woman located at the State Street corner of Capitol Square, and pulled her down around 10:45 p.m. The sculpture is a replica of a Jean Pond Miner sculpture cast in 1893 and installed in the Capitol in 1895 that was designed as an allegory for devotion and progress, the embodiment of her home state.

Protesters set their sights on another statue, one of Col. Hans Christian Heg at the top of King Street, tore it down and dragged it into Lake Monona. Heg was a Norwegian immigrant and journalist who died of his wounds at the Battle of Chickamauga fighting to preserve the United States and end slavery.

The destruction continued as the night unfolded with few, if any, cops in sight.

Protesters set a small fire on one of the windows of the City-County Building Downtown, which also houses the Madison Police Department's Downtown station. A group shattered the front entrance windows of the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership, which houses several state offices, and others knocked down street cameras or spray painted over the lenses.

Some protesters punched State Sen. Tim Carpenter, D-Milwaukee, in the face after the lawmaker tried taking a picture, according to multiple reporters on the scene. Carpenter had been headed to the Capitol to get some work done late Tuesday evening when he was attacked.

I took this pic- it got me assaulted & beat up. Punched/kicked in the head, neck, ribs. Maybe concussion, socked in left eye is little blurry, sore neck & ribs. 8-10 people attacked me. Innocent people are going to get killed. Capitol locked- stuck in office.Stop violence nowPlz!

At some point, certainly not yet, but at some point, even the most clueless white people are going to discover that no amount of genuflecting before the altar of diversity is going to save them, their families, or their lifestyles.

Making room for Trump

It's only a matter of time before Teddy Roosevelt is removed from Mount Rushmore:

The American Museum of Natural History will remove a prominent statue of Theodore Roosevelt from its entrance after years of objections that it symbolizes colonial expansion and racial discrimination, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday.

The bronze statue that has stood at the museum's Central Park West entrance since 1940 depicts Roosevelt on horseback with a Native American man and an African man standing next to the horse.

'The American Museum of Natural History has asked to remove the Theodore Roosevelt statue because it explicitly depicts Black and Indigenous people as subjugated and racially inferior,' de Blasio said in a written statement.

'The City supports the Museum's request. It is the right decision and the right time to remove this problematic statue.'

While I would prefer to keep statues where they are, it is good to know that there is going to be space on Mount Rushmore for the God-Emperor once he drains the Swamp.

Every year is Year Zero for the warriors of Social Justice.

How to fight the Woke and win

A reader suspects the author of this article is familiar with SJWAL. It's possible, but then, the conclusions reached back then are pretty obvious to all and sundry now:

The Woke are everywhere.  They're in our schools, in government, and at our places of work.  More importantly, the Woke are on the move.  They are coming for you, for me, and for anyone else who does not subscribe to their quasi-religion.  Don't fool yourself — you are not safe.  The Woke are at war with anyone who opposes them, and it does not matter if you just want to be left alone.  You will have to bend the knee or fight.

Here are a dozen strategies that you can start using right now

1. Adopt the right mindset and take action.  As mentioned, we are in a cultural and political war, whether we want to be or not.  So adopt an appropriate mindset.  Get mentally tough.  Get ready for battle.  Remember that the Woke are not your friends.  They despise you.  Realize that they will lie about you, not play fair, and try to crush you into submission.  Accept that family and friends may turn on you once you show your opposition to the Woke agenda.  And understand that some of your own "leaders" and "allies" will happily betray you to virtue-signal to the Woke.  So watch your back and take action yourself, for it is action that matters, not words.

2. Become anti-fragile.  In war, you must always secure your supply lines.  One of the Woke's most powerful weapons is economic pressure, so take that away from them as much as possible.  Grow some of your own food, start a side business, or form a self-supporting tribe (like a church group that financially supports itself in case one member gets fired by the Woke).  Being anti-fragile will allow you to stand firm when you need to speak the truth, which brings us to Point 3.

3. Speak the truth.  In our age of Woke emotionalism, truth-telling is the truly revolutionary act.  So speak the truth, and do so boldly.  This does not mean doing so in every situation, but if pressed, you cannot let the Woke steamroll you into silent submission.  Moreover, wear that MAGA hat.  Be proud.  Display your beliefs through symbols.  The fact is that boldness and visible symbolism build morale, and they will likely inspire others to speak up as well.

4. Never apologize, and never quit.  The Woke view an apology as a confession, not as a chance at reconciliation.  As such, never apologize.  You will only be made to grovel further or surrender completely.  At the same time, never quit.  That is what your spineless employer will want you to do to save him the trouble of firing you.  Don't do it.  Make them fire you, then move to Point 5.

5. Use lawfare.  If you have the means, then use lawfare against the Woke at any and every opportunity (which is one reason why electing President Trump and getting good judges is important).  For instance, if your employer fires you to appease the Woke mob, then make him pay for it.  Don't go quietly.  Instead, hit him with the hardest legal counterpunch that you can.  It won't always work, but it will sometimes, and that matters.

6. Arm yourself.  Exercise your God-given rights and arm yourself thoroughly.  After all, a sheep is much easier to cage than a lion.

He's right. You will have to choose. You will have to fight or surrender. The time for stealth and nightwalking is over. The wicked daywalkers are being revealed and their allies are now actively seeking to root out their counterparts. It's no longer possible to hide your light under a bushel in the darkening shadows. So, no matter how small your little torch may be, hold it up without fear or hesitation, sear their eyes with it, and when they come for you, thrust it right into their slavering jaws and down their fucking throats.

They are creatures of hate and fear. They hate and fear the God you serve. They already hate you; teach them to fear you as well.

Stay off Discord

I've never made much use of it, but you can safely expect to see Discord deplatforming everyone who thinks any unapproved thoughts of BLM, Antifa, or The Last of Us 2 in the near future:

Like every mainstream communications service, we have to contend with people using Discord to promote hate and to abuse others. To be clear: hate has no place on Discord. As we’ve grown as a company, we have taken decisive action to make Discord hostile to white supremacists, racists, and other groups who seek to use Discord for evil.

We have invested in people — Trust & Safety is one of the largest teams at Discord — and in technology to proactively identify and ban bad actors from the platform. In 2019, more than half of the servers we removed for violent extremist content — many of which were white supremacist servers — were removed proactively by our team, before they were reported to us. We will keep increasing that number. In recent weeks, we have been monitoring our platform very closely to find and remove anyone seeking to use Discord to organize around violent extremism or disrupt protests.

Today, we commit to two additional actions to make sure we are as effective as we can be against the spread of hate on Discord:

• We will undertake a third-party audit by an organization active in researching the spread of hate and racism to observe how Discord works, how we enforce our policies, and to make recommendations for us to be more effective. And we’ll share what we learn so others in the industry can make use of their expertise.
• We are investing significant engineering resources internally to develop software to find and manage abuse proactively. We commit to an open source strategy, which means other companies can benefit and build on what we learn. We hope this also inspires companies to release their tools so users can benefit across platforms.

We want the Discord team to reflect the diversity of society. Today we’re committing to:

• Diversifying our senior leadership team as soon as possible.
• Recruiting a full-time Head of Diversity & Inclusion who reports to our Chief People Officer to ensure these efforts have dedicated attention and full responsibility.
• An internship program starting in 2021 geared to underrepresented groups with a 5-year goal of training the next generation of Discord leaders.

Translation: Discord desperately wants to get acquired by a converged company before the stock market crashes, so it's corporate-cancerizing itself with maximum effort, complete with paying the Danegeld to the ADL.

Anyhow, it's already been thought-policing for some time now, so this is confirmation that the hunt for crimethink is about to go to the next level. I'd recommend uninstalling it if you haven't already.

Corruption and convergence

This is what it looks like. The inversion is always recognizable. They call good evil and evil good.

The ride never ends.

Antifa's Minneapolis AAR

They're likely to make more intelligent opposition than the average suburban guy with a rifle is anticipating. This is definitely 4GW in action, being utilized to disrupt the US state. Notice how the "peaceful protesters" are not only being used as a shield, but are actively attempting to protect the violent extremists and conceal their activities:

We call the battles of the second and third days at the Precinct a siege because the police were defeated by attrition. The pattern of the battle was characterized by steady intensification punctuated by qualitative leaps due to the violence of the police and the spread of the conflict into looting and attacks on corporate-owned buildings. The combination of the roles listed above helped to create a situation that was unpoliceable, yet which the police were stubbornly determined to contain. The repression required for every containment effort intensified the revolt and pushed it further out into the surrounding area. By Day Three, all of the corporate infrastructure surrounding the Third Precinct had been destroyed and the police had nothing but a “kingdom of ashes” to show for their efforts. Only their Precinct remained, a lonely target with depleted supplies. The rebels who showed up on Day Three found an enemy teetering on the brink. All it needed was a final push.

Day Two of the uprising began with a rally: attendees were on the streets, while the police were stationed on top of their building with an arsenal of crowd control weaponry. The pattern of struggle began during the rally, when the crowd tried to climb over the fences that protected the Precinct in order to vandalize it. The police fired rubber bullets in response as rally speakers called for calm. After some time passed and more speeches were made, people tried again. When the volley of rubber bullets came, the crowd responded with rocks and water bottles. This set off a dynamic of escalation that accelerated quickly once the rally ended. Some called for non-violence and sought to interfere with those who were throwing things, but most people didn’t bother arguing with them. They were largely ignored or else the reply was always the same: “That non-violence shit don’t work!” In fact, neither side of this argument was exactly correct: as the course of the battle was to demonstrate, both sides needed each other to accomplish the historic feat of reducing the Third Precinct to ashes.

It’s important to note that the dynamic we saw on Day Two did not involve using non-violence and waiting for repression to escalate the situation. Instead, a number of individuals stuck their necks out very far to invite police violence and escalation. Once the crowd and the police were locked into an escalating pattern of conflict, the objective of the police was to expand their territorial control radiating outward from the Precinct. When the police decided to advance, they began by throwing concussion grenades at the crowd as a whole and firing rubber bullets at those throwing projectiles, setting up barricades, and firing tear gas.

The intelligence of the crowd proved itself as participants quickly learned five lessons in the course of this struggle.

First, it is important to remain calm in the face of concussion grenades, as they are not physically harmful if you are more than five feet away from them. This lesson extends to a more general insight about crisis governance: don’t panic, as the police will always use panic against us. One must react quickly while staying as calm as possible.

Second, the practice of flushing tear-gassed eyes spread rapidly from street medics throughout the rest of the crowd. Employing stores of looted bottled water, many people in the crowd were able to learn and quickly execute eye-flushing. People throwing rocks one minute could be seen treating the eyes of others in the next. This basic medic knowledge helped to build the crowd’s confidence, allowing them to resist the temptation to panic and stampede, so that they could return to the space of engagement.

Third, perhaps the crowd’s most important tactical discovery was that when one is forced to retreat from tear gas, one must refill the space one has abandoned as quickly as possible. Each time the crowd at the Third Precinct returned, it came back angrier and more determined either to stop the police advance or to make them pay as dearly as possible for every step they took.

Fourth, borrowing from the language of Hong Kong, we saw the crowd practice the maxim “Be water.” Not only did the crowd quickly flow back into spaces from which they had to retreat, but when forced outward, the crowd didn’t behave the way that the cops did by fixating on territorial control. When they could, the crowd flowed back into the spaces from which they had been forced to retreat due to tear gas. But when necessary, the crowd flowed away from police advances like a torrential destructive force. Each police advance resulted in more businesses being smashed, looted, and burned. This meant that the police were losers regardless of whether they chose to remain besieged or push back the crowd.

Finally, the fall of the Third Precinct demonstrates the power of ungovernability as a strategic aim and means of crowd activity. The more that a crowd can do, the harder it will be to police. Crowds can maximize their agency by increasing the number of roles that people can play and by maximizing the complementary relationships between them.

Non-violence practitioners can use their legitimacy to temporarily conceal or shield ballistics squads. Ballistics squads can draw police fire away from those practicing non-violence. Looters can help feed and heal the crowd while simultaneously disorienting the police. In turn, those going head to head with the police can generate opportunities for looting. Light mages can provide ballistics crews with temporary opacity by blinding the police and disabling surveillance drones and cameras. Non-violence practitioners can buy time for barricaders, whose works can later alleviate the need for non-violence to secure the front line.

Here we see that an internally diverse and complex crowd is more powerful than a crowd that is homogenous. We use the term composition to name this phenomenon of maximizing complementary practical diversity. It is distinct from organization because the roles are elective, individuals can shift between them as needed or desired, and there are no leaders to assign or coordinate them. Crowds that form and fight through composition are more effective against the police not only because they tend to be more difficult to control, but also because the intelligence that animates them responds to and evolves alongside the really existing situation on the ground, rather than according to preexisting conceptions of what a battle “ought” to look like. Not only are “compositional” crowds more likely to engage the police in battles of attrition, but they are more likely to have the fluidity that is necessary to win.

Of course, the only reason they won is that the local and state authorities were on their side and preventing the police from taking the sort of actions that allowed the National Guard to easily control and disperse them.

Keeping the stadiums empty

The Premier League submits to Black Lives Matter in front of empty stadiums. This sort of political propaganda should help ensure that stadiums across the UK and USA will remain empty, even when fans are permitted to attend games.

Financial support

The good news is that Patreon clearly has plenty of cash to throw around these days.

We’re enraged and saddened by the persistent racism that permeates our society — but our feelings won’t fix the problem. As a company and a community, Patreon has a platform with the power to drive change, and if we fail to leverage that platform, we become part of the problem.

To help in the fight against racism and police brutality, we’re donating $50,000 to Black Lives Matter and other organizations on the front line. We’re also going to increase our financial support to creators of color on Patreon through internal employee programs, and invest to boost diversity among our own ranks, so our team looks more like the community we serve. You can learn more in this blog post from Jack, our CEO.

If they're financially supporting American Indians, perhaps I should consider opening a Patreon account.

The Boy Scouts, converged

With the possible exception of NASCAR, I don't know that I've ever seen an organization disembowel itself as rapidly as the Boy Scouts of America:

There is no place for racism – not in Scouting and not in our communities. Racism will not be tolerated.

We condemn the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and all those who are not named but are equally important. We hear the anguish, feel the heartbreak, and join the country’s resolve to do better.

The Boy Scouts of America stands with Black families and the Black community because we believe that Black Lives Matter. This is not a political issue; it is a human rights issue and one we all have a duty to address. That is why, as an organization, we commit to:

• Introducing a specific diversity and inclusion merit badge that will be required for the rank of Eagle Scout. It will build on components within existing merit badges, including the American Cultures and Citizenship in the Community merit badges, which require Scouts to learn about and engage with other groups and cultures to increase understanding and spur positive action.
• Reviewing every element of our programs to ensure diversity and inclusion are engrained at every level for participants and volunteers by applying a standard that promotes racial equality and denounces racism, discrimination, inequality and injustice.
• Requiring diversity and inclusion training for all BSA employees starting July 1 and taking immediate action toward introducing a version for volunteers in the coming months.
• Conducting a review of property names, events and insignia, in partnership with local councils, to build on and enhance the organization’s nearly 30-year ban on use of the Confederate flag and to ensure that symbols of oppression are not in use today or in the future.

These are our next steps but certainly not our last.

No, the beheading tends to follow the self-evisceration. It's intriguing to see how the mask has finally come off and tolerance is no longer being sold as a virtue now that the corporate cancer has metastasized. As I have pointed out for years, it is intolerance that is the virtue and tolerance is the Sin of Jeroboam. And given how they define racism, discrimination, inequality, and injustice, it is now eminently clear, by their own confession, that there is no place for SJWs or Black Lives Matter or Antifa in any civilized society.

If you understand that social justice is not justice, it should not be hard to grasp that racial injustice is not injustice. Remember, the adjective modifies the noun. And notice that no comments are permitted in response on the statement on the BSA website.

We are all Far Right now

It's beginning to get a bit amusing to see the cuckservatives being demonetized and deplatformed. But hey, at least the crocodile ate you after those no-good, very-bad crimethinkers:

Google has banned two far-right websites from its advertising platform after research revealed the tech giant was profiting from articles pushing unsubstantiated claims about the Black Lives Matter protests.

The two sites, ZeroHedge and The Federalist, will no longer be able to generate revenue from any advertisements served by Google Ads.

A Google spokesperson said in an email that it took action after determining the websites violated its policies on content related to race.

“We have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on and explicitly prohibit derogatory content that promotes hatred, intolerance, violence or discrimination based on race from monetizing," the spokesperson wrote. "When a page or site violates our policies, we take action. In this case, we’ve removed both sites’ ability to monetize with Google.”

After publication of this story, Google added that it takes into account all of the content on a website including comments to determine if a policy violation has occurred, which is where the policy violations occurred.

Running and hiding won't work. Keeping quiet and keeping your head down won't work. War is upon you, whether you will or no.

Hey JK, we'll publish you

This futher underlines the central thesis of Corporate Cancer for even the most slow to grasp the concepts involved: SJWs do not care in the slightest about business or corporate revenue:

Publishing staff working on JK Rowling’s latest book threatened to down tools yesterday in protest at her views on gender. The Harry Potter author, 54, has endured a storm of protest since expressing ‘deep concerns’ about transgender activism in an essay last week in which she also described being a victim of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Those criticising her have included movie stars she helped make famous.

It led to headlines such as ‘Bonfire of JK Rowling’ as the multi-million-pound empire she created threatened to turn against her.

Yesterday morning at publishing house Hachette, several of those involved in Miss Rowling’s new children’s book, The Ickabog, are said to have staged their own rebellion during a heated meeting. One source said: ‘Staff in the children’s department at Hachette announced they were no longer prepared to work on the book.

At this rate, Castalia will be one of the Big Three publishers before the final collapse of the United States into multipartite ethno-cultural war. SJWs act like they are demon-possessed because they are true believers in a de facto satanic neo-religious philosophy.

The thought-policing of authors even extends to the fans:

The editor of the world's biggest Harry Potter fan site has urged supporters to stop buying JK Rowling's books and films over the author's 'transphobia' row.

Step 1: don't do meth!

Dr. Jordan Peterson has an important message for all of us.

 How To Change the World Properly

This was triggered in part by something I read recently by Jonathan Haidt. Jonathan Haidt is the professor of ethical leadership at the NYU Stern School of Business, and he’s been a very astute commentator recently on some of the political battles that have been going on in the social sciences. He has noted, for example, that there is very little political diversity in the views of social scientists, and perhaps even less on the part of people in the humanities. Haidt recently wrote something where he claimed that universities have to decide between social justice and truth. And on the side of truth he puts a philosopher named John Stuart Mill, an English philosopher, who said:

“He who knows only his side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion.”

And then Haidt juxtaposes John Stuart Mill with Karl Marx, who said, “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.” Haidt considers Marx the patron saint of Social Justice University, which is oriented around changing the world in part by overthrowing power structures and privilege. It sees political diversity as an obstacle to action. Mill, on the other hand, according to Haidt, is the patron saint of what he calls Truth U, which sees truth as a process in which flawed individuals challenge each other’s biased and incomplete reasoning, and in the process all become smarter.

Haidt points out that Truth University dies when it becomes intellectually uniform or politically orthodox. This is in part my call, along with Jonathan Haid, for young people to join Truth University.

But there’s a problem, and that is that young people want to change the world. That’s part of what Piaget, the developmental psychologist, called the “Messianic stage,” and there’s some real utility in that. We’re social creatures, and as we construct ourselves and formulate ourselves and bring our own character into being, predicated on our biological platform or biological being, we also simultaneously have to integrate, adjust to, and negotiate with society, which sometimes needs to be changed. The structure of society has to be preserved, but it has to be updated and improved as it moves forward.

Note that John Stuart Mill, who Jordan Peterson asserts is "on the side of truth" is also the original SJW. Do you still seriously doubt that this occult-obsessed addict is a gatekeeping snake?

“Society should treat all equally well who have deserved equally well of it, that is, who have deserved equally well absolutely. This is the highest abstract standard of social and distributive justice; towards which all institutions, and the efforts of all virtuous citizens should be made in the utmost degree to converge.”
 —John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism, 1861

Jumping on the pieces

And yes, that's a Hitchhiker's reference. It seemed appropriate, in light of how Disney is following up on the massive success of the converged final trilogy:

Star Wars editor and Del Rey Creative Director Elizabeth Schaefer recently revealed what the unofficial subtitle for the upcoming Star Wars anthology From A Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back.

Star Wars recently announced a follow-up to their anthology series From a Certain Point of View anthology series with From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

The anthology will feature 40 stories by 40 authors that will reimagine “the classic sequel through the eyes of background characters — heroes, villains, droids and creatures.”

And as for what that reimagining might look Del Rey editor Elizabeth Schaefer detailed that their unofficial subtitle is “Gay and in space.”

She wrote on Twitter, “It is important to note that our unofficial subtitle for From A Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back is “Gay and in space.”

It just never, ever, ends. This is why our ancestors were wiser when they simply described their lunatics as witches and investigated how well they floated.

Canceling Darwin

It will be ironic if Charles Darwin is not ejected from his lofty status as a secular scientific saint by scientific and mathematical criticsm, but by the ignorant baying of the savage mob:

Up until now, Darwin has been considered something of a hero on the political left, due to the religious right’s opposition to the teaching of evolution in schools (or at least, their insistence that one should“teach the controversy” that supposedly surrounds evolution and creationism). However, it is quite possible there will soon be a reckoning. For Darwin’s writings contain ample statements that would put him far beyond the pale of what is now considered acceptable.

First, differences between the sexes. In The Descent of Man, Darwin states that “the average of mental power in man must be above that of woman.” And in an 1882 letter, he states that “women though generally superior to men to moral qualities are inferior intellectually,” and that “there seems to me to be a great difficulty from the laws of inheritance… in their becoming the intellectual equals of man.” He also observes in The Descent of Man that “the male sex is more variable in structure than the female.” This observation has since become known as the greater male variability hypothesis, and has been applied to a variety of human traits including, mostcontroversially, intelligence.

Second, differences between the races. Referring to some natives he encountered in South America during the voyage of the Beagle, Darwin observes, “one can hardly make oneself believe that they are fellow creatures.” He dedicates a whole chapter of The Descent of Man, to his study of “the races of man.” In that chapter he states, “There is, however, no doubt that the various races, when carefully compared and measured, differ much from each other… Their mental characteristics are likewise very distinct; chiefly as it would appear in their emotional, but partly in their intellectual faculties.” And in an earlier chapter of the book, he contrasts the “civilised races of man” with “the savage races,” noting that the former will “almost certainly exterminate, and replace” the latter.

Third, eugenics. In The Descent of Man, Darwin states, “We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination… Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind.” He then observes, “It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.” However, he also notes, “Nor could we check our sympathy, even at the urging of hard reason, without deterioration in the noblest part of our nature… We must therefore bear the undoubtedly bad effects of the weak surviving and propagating their kind.”

If they're going after Churchill, they certainly won't give St. Darwin a pass. These barbarians don't care about history and they care even less about scientific history.

Magic, converged

The self-evisceration of the game industry picks up speed:

Today, we will be changing the multiverse ID and removing the Gatherer card image for the card Invoke Prejudice, originally printed in 1994. The card is racist and made even worse by the multiverse ID it was unfortunately codified with years ago. There's no place for racism in our game, nor anywhere else.

But to that point, it should never have been published nor placed in the Gatherer. And for that we are sorry. The events of the past weeks and the ongoing conversation about how we can better support people of color have caused us to examine ourselves, our actions, and our inactions. We appreciate everyone helping us to recognize when we fall short. We should have been better, we can be better, and we will be better.

To that end, we will be removing a number of images from our database that are racist or culturally offensive, including:

Invoke Prejudice
Cleanse
Stone-Throwing Devils
Pradesh Gypsies
Jihad
Imprison
Crusade
Replacing those card images will be the following statement:

"We have removed this card image from our database due to its racist depiction, text, or combination thereof. Racism in any form is unacceptable and has no place in our games, nor anywhere else."

I can't say I had any interest in Magic: The Gathering after figuring out the nature of the game mechanics, but the decline and eventual collapse of the converged companies should create some nice opportunities in the near future.

It's rather telling to observe a perspective that celebrates summoning demons, black magic, and murder, but decries whatever "racism" is this week. Keep that in mind if you're ever tempted to virtue-signal about your not-racism.

Avoid engagement

The Graham-Pence rule is the best approach to take with all SJWs. Because they use the "heads I'm offended, tails you're racist" game to advance themselves, the only way to win is not to play. Because no SJW will hesitate to take out even the most liberal fellow SJW:

Exeter said Mulroney had 'taken offence to a very generic call to action' posted online, causing the two women to argue about the topics of white privilege and racism.

The influencer claims the exchange resulted in Mulroney saying: 'I have also spoken to companies and people about the way you have treated me unfairly. You think your voice matters. Well it only matters if you express it with kindness and without shaming people who are simply trying to learn. Good luck.'

Exeter said the exchanges left her feeling 'paralyzed in fear,' wondering what Mulroney was saying to her brand partners or potential brands she might want to work with.

Sharing the video with her 58,000 followers, she explained: 'Very early on in this, I was very vocal about wanting my peers with an online presence to speak up, stand up and use their voice for good to help combat what's going on with this race war.'

She said she had made an effort 'not to call out anyone directly', but said Mulroney, who 'used to be an acquaintance', took issue with Exeter's 'very generic call to action' on social media.

Exeter said Mulroney went on to 'lash out' at her and said the 'very problematic antics' escalated until the stylist sent over what Exeter felt was 'a threat in writing.'

Exeter said: 'I'm by no means calling Jess a racist, but she is very well aware of her wealth, her perceived power and privilege because of the colour of her skin.

'And that my friends, gave her the momentary confidence to come for my livelihood in writing. Textbook white privilege really.'

The influencer accused Mulroney of 'never wanting to stand up and use her voice in the first place' and 'not understanding why she needed to'.

I'm not defending Mulroney here. She's about as awful as an SJW can get. The point is that no amount of genuflecting and appeasement and denouncing of badthink is going to save you from the crocodiles.

Speak the truth and stay away from SJWs. Don't engage with them and don't react when they try to engage you. Don't defend yourself; don't even respond to them. They are not part of our society or even our civilization. Think of them as living in some sort of evil parallel universe you cannot even perceive. The more we avoid them, the more they will devour each other.

Then they came for Fawlty Towers

The BBC has removed a famous episode of Fawlty Towers:

An episode of Fawlty Towers from which the N-word and other offensive terms had previously been cut has been taken down from the BBC's UKTV player.

The 1975 episode titled The Germans - fondly remembered for the repeated line ‘don’t mention the war' - is the latest in a series of British programmes to be culled from streaming sites.

Controversial Little Britain has been removed from Netflix, BBC iPlayer and BritBox.

I expect Monty Python is next. The Big Bear is right. This SJW cultural revolution is the death of comedy.

It's also extremely informative to see who is allowed to get away with "a sincere apology" and who isn't, as the SJWs begin to devour themselves. It won't be long before the only SJW-free content will be found on independent sites like UATV.

All you need to do is fight back

No amount of words can substitute for action, as a group of former Boy Scouts proved in defense of Lord Baden-Powell's memory:

A council has dramatically abandoned its plan to take down a seaside statue of Lord Baden-Powell today after his supporters blocked a removal team brought in following pressure from Black Lives Matter protesters who branded him racist, homophobic and fascist.

Former Scouts, some from more than 100 miles away, had rushed to Dorset and formed a ring of steel around the bronze monument, fending off a disposal crew in Poole Quay at 7.30am as the campaign to remove 92 historic monuments in Britain hurtles on.

And this afternoon Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Councillor Mark Howell said that the removal is off for today because contractors didn't want to work in a 'circus', adding:  'It is possible we might not take it away at all'.

If you're not acting, you're not doing anything. If you're not fighting back, you're surrendering.

Remember, they take your silence as consent.
