Paint it black

Thursday, July 2, 2020

What pisses me off the most about cancel culture movement isn't the fact that they are deluded  into that they somehow exclusive rights to right and wrong; it is the fact that they hate the Baby Boomers and yet have ripped off all of our ideas.

The same type of uncool middle-class kids who put on tied-dyed t-shirts back in the 1960s and said “groovy” a lot, these days put on Black Lives Matters t-shirts and take knee.

They say that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it and all that's true with this crew of morons – the spoiled middle-class brats that in our era grooved up to the Black Panthers or became fanatic bomb throwing weather-underground – seem to be repeating the same mistakes we made while somehow believing they are doing something original and are deluded into believing there are doing something socially responsible when in reality they are just pretending to be cool.

They are doing exactly the same things we did and doing things that ultimately failed.

And for some reason they think the original – and worse, they bash baby boomers who they somehow see as their enemy.

This new brand of white progressive radical can't even come up with a name that is original using “cancel culture’ instead of “counterculture” that we used.

Like we did when we emerged as “the new left” in the 1960s, the new Cancel Culture crowd deals in stereotypes, condemning any white person that opposes them as a white supremacist while claiming whites stereotype people of color – living up to that old adage about the pot calling the kettle black.

Lincoln might have freed the slaves, but since he wasn’t pro black these whackos try to tear down his statues.

The whole racist pandemic began as a kind of revenge against people who this new new left perceived as Trump supporters. Groups of fanatics pumped up on Howard Zinn and their copies of “Rules for Radicals” started to tear down confederate statues and flags – claiming that these things were offensive, but has since become a savage attack on western culture itself (thus its copycat name Cancel Culture.)

Current and historic western leaders were put to the litmus test of whether or not they supported slavery in the distant past ignoring the fact that many of the people they condemned were  those who actually worked to bring down slavery. These morons tore down statues of people based on some deluded classroom exercise by some frustrated baby boomer Professor who has been teaching them the Howard Zinn crap version of History ignoring all the Inconvenient truth such as real facts.

“Rules for Radicals” is largely a rewritten version of Richard Nixon’s book of dirty tricks in which you are allowed to lie, cheat, steal, burn or character-assassinate as long as you believe you represent “right.”

Rules for Radicals is the new Machiavellian text that says anything to be gained power is legitimate lying cheating stealing when you believe you have the moral High Ground.

The problem is that there is no “ truth.” There is no absolute right or wrong in the way they represent it, and that these people operate on the belief that they have sole access to righteousness.

When you're on a religious quest like they are, facts don’t matter, neither does it matter that the human beings they pass judgement on are much more complex than their black vs white litmus test.

They have boiled down everything to stereotypes in much the way racists did about people of color in the past – judging current and historic figures based on their belief that if they once owned slaves, once foolishly wore black face or one said something racist in rage, they are condemned as racist for their rest of their lives no matter what they have done to benefit humanity.

These cultural idiots find some moment in a person’s long life and judge their own lives by that moment, not by the total accumulation of their actions.

These cultural assassins judge you by the worst moments of your life, when you were stupid or ignorant or young, and the brand a scarlet letter of racist on your head. These so-called revolutionaries are so drunk on their own power and so puffed up with their own inflated egos, they don’t know what they don’t know, and worse, they don’t care.

The worst of these are the white dweebs and high school losers, who finally found a way to get even with all the cool kids they envied. These are the morons that find some “cool” professor or teacher who fills their heads with sawdust philosophy and then sends them out in the world to create havoc, each of these foolish white kids putting on a black lives matter t-shirt as if this somehow made them part of the oppressed class – an act far more ludicrous than painting their faces black, they actually want to be black and can’t be because they mostly are middle class kids who grew up without a clue as to what African Americans experience, who base their judgements on other white people on stereotype – calling anyone who dares disagree with them a white supremist or racist, ironically become racists in their own fashion since they are doing exactly what they claim white people do to blacks.

Of course many of the progressives who are the most aggressive appears to be suffering from this incredible painful condition called white guilt which explains why so many of them suddenly got very generous and start donating to Black colleges in other places after having grown up ignore race entirely.

There is this old concept called “projection.” a psychological condition that has its victim seeing his or her own condition in everyone else when the only person who's really suffering from the disease is him or herself and so you have all of these wackos running around screaming about racism and what's really is happening is they are really seeing their own reflection in the mirror or Plato's Shadows on the wall and assuming that other people are racist when they are in complete denial of their own racist urges.

So in a desperate attempt to prove how they are not racist they go searching for statues to knock down and force confrontations with cops or with white radicals who they always wanted to provoked -- the idea that if you cause them to react then you prove that the world is racist.

The most insightful and enlightening moments came this week when Seattle was taken over by this group of nincompoops and they got to show what government would look like if these progressives actually had their way and it somehow doesn't really differ from the world that they are complaining about.

As in every community there were murders and segregation in fact it was self-imposed segregation as African Americans choose to separate themselves even from their white allies by setting up a little village within the village into which only black people could go.

These are the people who are telling us that George Washington should not be considered great even though he created a nation that helped eventually freed the slaves. They tell us that Thomas Jefferson is flawed because he – unfortunately lived at a time when he struggled to come to a solution of slavery and had did not immediately and slavery when it was clear America would not exist if they had done so with the foundation of the country.

America would not have existed had the founding fathers attempted to outlaw slavery which is really what these Cancel Culture idiots want.

One Lunatic even complained that the Declaration of Independence was the beginning of oppression in America.

“That was the start of everything,” he said, proving just how ignorant he and many of his compatriots are about the foundations of civil rights and civil liberties, and how much the civil rights movement of the 1960s owed to the struggle these founding fathers suffered. Did they make mistakes? All revolutions do, but their revolution was based on knowledge, not the deliberate ignorance that plagues the Cancel Culture movement today.

The real sad part is that this is a disease that has infected our intellectual community, where colleges have become breeding ground for this misinformation with not mask or social distance capable of containing the spread of it.

So we see liberal institutions like Princeton disassociating itself from people like Woodrow Wilson – who like many people of his time said racist things – but who also fought the nation’s biggest pandemic while also fighting and winning a world war, and set the stage for what would become the most progressive institution in the world, The United Nations.

Instead of balancing human flaws against those deeds that benefited humanity, these radicals condemn label historic figures as racist, when they did much more to make up for this one flaw.

This new cancel culture condemns you to Eternity in hell for something you might have done in your youth or something personal flaw that you may have overcome later in life. These questionable cultural revolutionaries learn their history from fortune cookies and then destroy real history that often vindicates the people they condemn.

Of course since they are largely repeating the patterns established by the Baby Boomers the fate of these movements will largely be the same they will self-destruct in their own idiocy and it's some of the these young ignorant and naive kids start growing up to the reality that the world is infinitely more complex than their counterculture philosophy makes it and someday they're going to have to raise families and earn a living and at this point they may actually grow up. Unfortunately, they have set the standard so that in the future when people look back their lives will be judged by these stupid actions they do today.
