Thanksgivingmanship: Your Guide to Surviving the SJW Imbeciles Who Have Spent a Week Reading Vox Articles About How to Survive You
Reposted from Last Year. If I can think of a Trump Election update to this, I'll post it next week. But no promises.
Oxford Don Stephen Potter introduced the world to the principles of Gamesmanship [don't comment on old posts, the system will ban you] the way to win at games by resort to cheap ploys which were very close to cheating without being technically cheating. He later expanded his inquiries into the general field of "Lifemanship," the discipline of embracing life in a dickish and hostile spirit, sabotaging social rivals without quite breaching social etiquette. Given that the progressive elder-children-yet-not-quite-adults you'll be encountering this Thanksgiving (who I will henceforth refer to as "grownchildren") will be armed to the teeth with Vox explainers and Obamacare propaganda, I herewith humbly submit these first sketches of a new branch of Lifemanship I call "Thankgivingmanship," which I define as the gentle art of insulting the stupid without alerting them to the fact that they've been insulted at all. It is the goal of the dedicated Thanksgivingman, then, to achieve the sublime art of giving offense without offense being taken. My basic strategy is thus: It would be as rude of you as it is rude of your cretinous grownchildren kin to allow a Thanksgiving dinner into a stupid game of Rachel Maddow Talking Points and their rebuttals. So, rather than confront the unemployed idiots who will be assailing you, I propose instead to superficially avoid conflict and engagement on their dummy mouthflappings, and appear instead to agree with them. But -- and here is the point -- a skilled Thanksgivingman will only appear to agree with the grownchildren to feeble intellects, such as those possessed by the grownchildren themselves. Instead of disagreeing with them -- which will cause argument and anger -- you will instead claim to agree with them, while in fact contradicting them, subverting them, of baffling them with statements that nearly, but do not quite, make sense. Our definitions and mission now established, we turn to the first of our three primary Thanksgivingmanship gambits: The Neutral or Nonsensical Statement Disguised as Agreement.Progressives do not process language the same way human beings do; they chiefly adduce meaning from tone and body language, like dogs. This means that you can say many things which are either irrelevant, nonsensical, or otherwise not in agreement with the progressive subcreatures you're temporarily amidst so long as you deliver your words with a warm smile and a lot of nodding. You may also use uptalk to express an insincere solidarity. As with dogs and babies, progressives find artificially high-pitched vocal tones to be soothing and possibly a prelude to Walkies and Snackies. Whenever a progressive grownchild says something stupid and ignorant, which will be always, do not engage on the merits. Progressive grownchildren will become highly emotional and agitated at the slightest show of disagreement, and may wet the floor or claw at the furniture. Instead, say something which is either neutral or nonsensical (which successfully communicates your true beliefs to other real human beings capable of deciphering obvious meaning) while deploying smiling, nodding, and uptalk to falsely convey agreement with to the more-stunted intellect of the grownchild.For example, if a progressive grownchild says, "Rachel Maddow is just so amazing," you can respond by nodding and saying "Absolutely, Rachel Maddow is without doubt a mammal." (Or: "A mammal...?") Possible responses to common grownchild mouthchatter include: "Well I see that the 'Faux Noise Machice' has gotten everyone riled up about so-called 'terrorism' again." "Doubtless! Terrorists only win when allow them to make us afraid, or dead." (Or: "Afraid, or dead...?") "Can't people see that stupid cons are doing Just What ISIS Wants us to do?" "It's so obvious-- the attacks in Paris weren't just an attack on human lives. They were an attack on our shared human capacity to be alive." ("To be alive, and stuff...?") This is a very simple one, which can be deployed in a variety of contexts: "None of this is Obama's fault -- he's doing the best he can to keep America out of another War of Choice." "Boy that Obama-- he is really something, isn't he?" As the evening wears on, and you are preparing to depart, you may become somewhat more blatant in your stealth insults, like so: "I just read an explainer about this on Vox." "Today's world is so remarkable! When I was young, we had to read books and derive our own thinking for ourselves. What a time to be alive, when sounding vaguely informed is no longer a luxury of the intellectual, but a cheaply assembled ware available to those of more common intellect!" Fake Statistics. It was my old friend Boston Irish who alerted me to this ticklish little trope, when he observed that no matter how absurd the statistic you proposed to a progressive, if that statistic seemed to call attention to whatever bugaboos xhe was excited about, xhe would respond with a gushing "I know, right?!" He demonstrated this to me at a party by interrupting a couple of liberals talking, and announcing to them: "You know, based on current statistics, in ten years, the entire state of California will be homeless." "Right! I know!" came the response. By the way, that is not schtick. That is not a joke written for this blogpost. I was really there, he really said that, that really happened. After having secured the agreement to his obviously-crank "statistics," he turned to me with a slightly arched eyebrow and sipped his beer in quiet triumph. This propensity of grownchildren to agree to whatever fantastical "studies" and "statistics" you propose to them can be exploited for much private merriment at the holidays. Other gambits include: * "You know, the average family of four pays more in ATM fees to the Big Banksters than they spend on rent." * "By the year 2030, global warming predicts that the entire North American landmass will be flooded by seawater and wolves." * "99.4% of the world's wealth is controlled by six-tenths of a single person." * "More people are killed every year by shooting accidentally shooting themselves than who died in all the wars in the world combined, except for the Korean War." You need to throw that "Except for the Korean War" in at the end because the claim, on its face, is too preposterous, so you deduct out Korean War deaths to bring it into the real of the plausible. (Plausible, that is, for progressive grownchildren.) It makes like you've done the math and just have to make this one little adjustment to get the numbers to work. You may follow Boston Irish's trope of the obviously-crank "liberal study" claim, or you can try your hand at claims which are simply baffling nonsense: * "Studies have proven that if you have a gun in your house, you are more in danger of being struck by lightning than being bitten by a rattlesnake. Think about it." A minor variation of the Fake Statistic ploy is the Fake Profundity gambit, in which you propose some ludicrous "deep thought" which derives not from social science, but from your own personal philosophical inquiry. For example, this one is best delivered with chin uplifted, Obama-style, and a metaphysical glaze of the eye: * "For what is it that gives the terrorists power -- their weapons, or our primitive, irrational fear that they will kill us with their weapons?" It is generally a useful practice to prefix such bits of nonsense with faux-biblical language, such as "For what..." or "Lo" and "Thus and so." Fake Quotes. Progressives love fake quotes -- they just love dressing up whatever passes for this week's SJW Conventional Wisdom and attributing it to some historic figure. Generally, these historic figures are very well known, because progressives don't know any historic figures except the very well known. Thomas Jefferson is always a popular choice. For "bad sounding quotes," Hitler is preferred. Napoleon and Marcus Aurelius may be deployed as well, but be prepared for some confused looks as to who it is you're talking about. Offering a ridiculous quote can bring you and any other lively minds at the table great amusement. Your target will probably not notice the quote is fake, because he is an imbecile, and also because you'll have a serene, self-satisfied smile on your face as you say it, which he will read as "A Fellow Progressive in Discursive Mode." This minor camouflage will permit you to smuggle huge amounts of nonsense in the guise of Wisdom of the Ancients. Feel free to subvert your noddingsmiles with messages that are blatantly mottos of the NRA, if only the grownchild could understand simple words, which they cannot. For example: "Wasn't it Mahatma Gandhi who said, 'It is not necessarily the first man to shoot who wins the battle, but it is always the last man shooting who wins the day'?" "As Gertrude Stein said" -- and I should say here that this gambit works best when you pronounce this name, for no particular reason, in an outrageous German accent, as Gaertruude Schteinn. So, let's begin again: "As Gaertruude Schteinn observed, 'The man who is slowest to arm himself is quickest to savor the bounties of Heaven.'" Another gambit is to offer up the following quotes, which are applicable in a wide range of situations. "I forget which scientist said it, maybe Neil DeGrasse Tyson, but it's worth repeating: 'Wars of religion always make me laugh because basically you're fighting over who has the best imaginary friend.'" Or: "A great philosopher, Gaertruud Von Schteinn, once said, 'Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true'?" You will get big nods for these Aphorisms of the Sages. You yourself can take pleasure in the knowledge that both quotes are from the movie Point Break, delivered by Johnny Utah (Keanu Reaves) and Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), respectively. If you get any verbal expressions of agreement, a "hear-hear" or an "amen," you can extend the joke by saying, "In the words of the spiritual master Boddhisatva, 'You can do what you want, and make up your own rules. Why be a servant to the law, when you can be its master...?" or "Six seconds and we're going to be meat waffles.'" Make this trope your own. Have fun with it. If you want to claim that it was Niccolo Machiavelli who first advised, "Sweep the leg, Johnny," go with it, but try to get your more subtle Fake Quotes in before "going big" like that. A Final Word. At some point, even an experienced Thanksgivingman will go too far, and give his game away. At that point, there will be sulks and silences, and the Thanksgivingman will have actually failed at his goal, which is to give offense without offense being taken. In such straits, the Thanksgivingman, in order to be the polite person he wishes to be, will have to apologize -- it is the verminous grownchildren who have come to bicker and strife, after all, not the well-mannered Thankgivingman. However, for the zealous Thanksgivingman, even an apology can be exploited for further Thanksgivingmanship points. For example, if the childanimal you are speaking with declares: "You're micro-aggressing me." ...then be sure to respond, "Ah, then please sincerely accept my most micro apologies."

Yeah, that wouldn't stop a single person in my family from still eating the pie.
This year it's just me and Mommy and my dad and om nom nom all the food for meeeeeee. Dad and I are already fighting over who gets what kind of pie and I think I'll just whine at Mommy tonight until she agrees to make both of them. I'm not saying that was my plan all along. I'm not saying it's not either.
A few years back I had a nice full plate at dinner, but nothing too huge. Everyone else fed up and I was getting mocked for not eating more.
Two hours later when everyone else was passed out, I was happily nomming plate number three of leftovers.

1) As I recently read on Vox, Trump is planning to build concentration camps for all Muslims and undesirable. In Nevada. Probably Area 51.
2) You know of course that Trump is planning on reconstituting the House Committee on Un-American Affairs. Paul Ryan is going to chair it.
3) On Slate I heard that Trump plans to, instead of a wall, just put land mines on the southern border. Think about it. After that, Canada.
I've found adding the idiotic "think about it" is the really funny part. I love watching progressives pretend to think. It's like watching a dog smell a fart.

Automated Pro-Trump Bots Overwhelmed Pro-Clinton Messages, Researchers Say
The New York Times ( 11/17/16 ) John Markoff
Researchers from Oxford University in the U.K. found that an automated army of pro-Donald J. Trump chatbots overwhelmed similar programs supporting Hillary Clinton five to one in the last few days of the U.S. presidential campaign. The chatbots would send messages on Twitter based on a topic, usually defined on Twitter by a word preceded by a hashtag symbol. The chatbots were used to rant, confuse people on facts, or simply muddy discussions, according to Oxford researcher Philip N. Howard. "The use of automated accounts was deliberate and strategic throughout the election," according to the researchers. Although they were unable to directly link the chatbots to either campaign, there was evidence the activity was part of an organized effort. "By the third debate, Trump bots were launching into their activity early and we noticed that automated accounts were actually colonizing Clinton hashtags," Howard says. The researchers based their study on a collection of about 19.4 million Twitter posts gathered in the first nine days of November. The researchers selected tweets based on hashtags identifying certain subjects and identified automated posting by finding accounts that post at least 50 times a day. This strategy of using deceptive social media campaigns has been dubbed "computational propaganda."

Making up quotes and statistics, as Ace suggests, is great fun. I attributed all sorts of stupid shit (that refuted the leftists' point) to Mao and Marx. Since nobody has ever read either Mao or Marx, no one can dispute you. You just need to quote them with utter certainty.
Another item of forensic ju-jitsu: Agree with the outrageous leftist statement, and then go further left. "Yeah, Rachel Maddow used to be OK, but xhe is moving too far to the right for me."
"Why do we even have universities? They're the mechanism for oppressing minorities, who aren't allowed to go. We should padlock all of them, and send the professoriate and the students into the fields to work. Pol Pot was right."

4. "You voted for that lying, drunken bitch? They really shouldn't let the mentally retarded vote. "

Then before anyone can get a word in edgewise, you lie that you voted for Obama in 2008 because you were for hope and change. "I remember thinking back then, 'How could anyone but the most cynical, hate-filled people be against hope OR change?'"

To the management of Fox 26,
You people in the news media aren't fooling anyone; except possibly yourselves. The fact that you are nothing but cheerleaders for the Democratic party and various anti-American leftist political positions was made clear to everyone with an IQ greater than that of the average cabbage - during the recent election. Your credibility is zero - nor will it be restored. Accurate polls indicate that in excess of 90% of people believe nothing of what you have to say.
The firing of reporter Scarlett Fakhar; ostensibly for having "political bias" is laughable. All of your reporters are biased; they are simply biased in the same direction as the management is biased; which evidently makes them "totes OK". If leftist politics were as wonderful as you all say it is, you would welcome dissenting voices and contrary opinions as providing tests that allowed you to prove your positions as the best. But the fact is the entire leftist ideology is so fragile and weak that it collapses at even the slightest counter argument. Socialism is such a good idea it must be made mandatory and competing viewpoints must be silenced; how pathetic.
Michael Moore correctly described the election of Donald Trump as the largest "F*ck you" delivered to the established power structure in the history of the world, and I would like to second that sentiment by addressing it directly to the management of Fox 26.
Not only will I be removing 26.1 from the list of stations received by my television; I shall be making a complaint of political bias to the FCC shortly after Mr. Trump takes office. Your license to broadcast requires you to operate in the public interest and you are failing to do so.
Sincerely,
etc.

Twisted Sister. A no-brainer. Dee Snider gave his blessing to Trump using "We're Not Gonna Take It" in the primaries. He said he was gratified that Trump had the courtesy to call him & ask permission.
OTOH, Dee voted for Zero, & he's a "pro-choice Christian," so I don't know if he'd be interested in being featured at Mr. Orange festivities.
Of course, there's money (whole lotta money) to be made, & Viagra for a drooping nostalgia act....

A fashion designer whose styles have been sported by Michelle Obama is boycotting dressing Melania Trump, saying she encourages "my fellow designers to do the same" when it comes to outfitting the next first lady.
"As one who celebrates and strives for diversity, individual freedom and respect for all lifestyles, I will not participate in dressing or associating in any way with the next First Lady," Sophie Theallet wrote in a letter this week.
1) It would be OK with me if she appeared without benefit of clothing.
2) Being banned from Beautyrest Fashions doesn't seem o onerous to me.

On Election Day, the family texting group came alive at about 3 PM with "We just voted--now you go vote too!!" and the various responses from every quarter. Most of my wife's side of the family are tribal Democrats, so then came all the texts about how "exciting" it was to think of how "historic" this election would be. Everything very polite, because they knew Wifey and I were included and would return any slight a hundredfold, but still annoying.
At that point I turned off notifications for that group, but as things started to go decidedly Trumpward, I checked back in and saw that the group had gone completely silent at about the time Florida was called. Heh heh heh.
So I doubt that any of them will bring the subject up next Thursday. But I probably will!

My Thanksgiving plans are up in the air, and I might actually be alone for the holiday, which will be peaceful, and keep my from reciting every stock phase that my dad drilled into my head over the years. I'm pretty sure that if I was in liberal company and I didn't care about what they thought, I'd be repeating "How could you be so stupid?" like a broken record.
There's also:
"Use your head for something other than a hat rack."
"If you had a brain you'd be dangerous."

When using the fake statistic, I find it most effective to use odd numbers or decimals.
"Health insurance premiums are up 268% in the last 2 years. Explain that. 268%. No, seriously explain to me how that is good policy? 268% and worse yet, 63.6% of the new individuals receiving health insurance are paying more out of pocket than they did before ACA when they were uninsured. That's damned near two thirds of them. It's a damned dumpster fire."
Don't be afraid to make up statistics. Hell, I read a study that something like 73% of statistics are made up on the spot anyway.

Your guest is hurting, and family is the greatest safe space. Use that safe space to help your guest feel included and start the healing process.
-- When your guest asks what he/she/xe can bring, suggest A VAT OF THEIR DELICIOUS LIBERAL TEARS! This helps them feel special, providing a dish only they can bring.
--Your guest is feeling confused and searching for answers as to why Trump is happening. Provide them with concise answers such as "BECAUSE YOU AND EVERYONE WHO THINKS LIKE YOU IS A LOOOOOOOOSER". This comforts them, and makes them realize it is not them who is at fault -- it is their loser-ness.
-- Your guest may be worried about being bullied and heckled by Trump-loving strangers. Help them prepare for this by relentlessly heckling them throughout the meal. By being bullied in a safe, nurturing, family environment, they will be prepared for the disdain and callous disregard to be heaped upon them by a cold, uncaring world.
-- There are lots of reports of Trump related hate crimes at colleges. Strangely, many of them are coming from left-leaning colleges. Even more strangely, the perpetrators never seem to get caught. Shield them from these awful crimes by cutting off their funding.
--If your guest is a vegetarian, ensure there is plenty of health-giving meat available to give them strength to get through the next four to sixteen years.
I am sure you can think of many other good ideas.
