Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Repost/Open Thread: Thanksgivingmanship: How to Survive Your NPC Family Members Who Are Studying Up on How to Survive a Thanksgiving With YouOxford 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."

We put up the fake tree today and all the lights worked. The outdoor wreaths we have won't work on this stupid tract house we bought in FL, so we'll put them in the bathrooms.
The gauche "star shower" light (as seen on TV!) we have from up north is not HOA approved, but we saw a half a dozen elsewhere in the 'hood, so we'll go with ours, just to make a point. Tonight, we'll go out for a turkey dinner at a restaurant that looks like an old country club, and enjoy a quiet Thanksgiving dinner, just the two of us. The children and grandkids will come visit after the holidays, and we can go to the beach with them. Posted by: Les Kinetic at November 28, 2019 05:37 PM (+fPHo) 87

This isn't really about politics, but it is about family disputes, and I normally wouldn't air this on a blog, but I need to blow off some steam.
My sister is getting married in Mexico next month (barring cartel enthusiasms), and we thought most of the family would be attending. Until today at Thanksgiving dinner, when my aunt and uncle informed us they wouldn't be coming. Supposedly because of money concerns, but everyone knows it's not that, it's because my cousin--their daughter--has them wrapped around her finger, and since she can't or won't go, they're not going either. Sister took it well, but is really disappointed because she badly wanted them to come, and I'm just pissed. I didn't even tell them bye when we left (everyone was in and out so it wasn't a blatant act on my part, but still). There's nothing to be said or done about it, I just had to get it out of my system. What the f*ck, guys?! Posted by: Dr. T at November 28, 2019 05:41 PM (Vgw1E) 100

156 Destination weddings are so expensive for those invited. I was recently invited to one in Mexico and once I priced it out it was going to cost me $3600! I don't mind spending $200-$250 on a gift and more on a close relative but to ask me to spend $3600 for 3 days. That's crazy.

Posted by: StellasTwoCents ---- And for certain age groups, you can get invited to two or three for a few years in a row. That gets very pricey.

False positive for raaaaacist phrases:
The word "picnic" according to a black radical I worked with. He explained the origin while his rage built to a crescendo. (I will not repeat the fake story it because it is awful and salacious.) I told him, in a bored tone, that no, picnic is a french word. I chuckle at the quick exchange for how my ennui was trumping his outrage. He said "Yes but the point still stands!" No you are trying to get us to stop saying an innane word that we hardly ever use. If we agree then we admit our guilt and encourage bigger changes in behavior. He might participate in the game even if he isn't wise to it. Posted by: BourbonChicken at November 28, 2019 07:23 PM (LxTcq) 360

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
We are home just the two of us, could not go to the Gathering at my nephew's as Joel is still sick. So we made the best of it I bought a nice ham, then I made scalloped potatoes and Jewel stirred herself up enough to make cauliflower au gratin. Darn that's delicious Unfortunately and moving the scalloped potatoes I spilled some in the oven so I've got the fan running so it doesn't stink too bad. I'm really spoiled she's a great cook, used to do it professionally. I don't know when I've made scalloped potatoes I suppose sometime but that's a lot of work. Despite her being sick, and the cat puking up her food along with the dogs the last few days we do have a lot to be thankful for. I'm about to call both sets of our parents we are lucky we were born to them and born in this country actually. Folks weren't perfect but they tried and did the best they could. Many have been dealt a worse hand. Hope your holiday weekend is enjoyable. I've got two days off that's fantastic, have to work Saturday and Sunday but such as life. Be well.

My sister in law and her "wife" are here visiting. I've been busy with the smoker and the turkey to pay them much attention, but during the football game earlier today one of Doomberg's ads played and the annoying-as-fuck one started talking about how much "mathematical sense" Lizzy Warren's "economic plan" is. I was tempted to say "the only difference between Lizzy and Doomberg here is that he's at least trying to buy the election with his own money - crazy Aunt Lizzy is trying to buy it with mine."
Instead - I just smiled brightly and grinned my biggest shit eating grin and said. "I need to go clean my AR-15 for the last day of deer season tomorrow. I'll be back."

Destination weddings are so expensive for those invited. I was recently invited to one in Mexico and once I priced it out it was going to cost me $3600! I don't mind spending $200-$250 on a gift and more on a close relative but to ask me to spend $3600 for 3 days. That's crazy.
Posted by: StellasTwoCents at November 28, 2019 06:01 PM (KSBDE) One way to "fix" that? If invited, book a room for two weeks, arrive a week beforehand, get a nice tan, show up at the wedding, showing off the nice tan, and then remark, "Too bad, the rest of you have to go home tomorrow. We're here for another week yet." Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 28, 2019 07:52 PM (/sgva) 422

What Outsiders don't know is the correct pronunciation is grandy tour. Used to be an artist Colony their years ago Orson Welles spent some time there. Posted by: Farmer at November 28, 2019 07:59 PM (OxE2A) 431

Happy Thanksgiving Horde. Sister and I are sick as dogs with upper respiratory goop so we had a modest meal and descended into a torpor. But that's okay. Just thinking of my mom, dad, and sister who have left us. May God bless them and you and yours on this day.

I find it useful to do little more than challenge them with:
Really? Are you sure? Is that what you believe? Mmmmmm? The expressed skepticism in those statementes is enough to get the grownchildren talking more animatedly, more excitedly,....and more idiotically. They love to hear themselves talk, and they should be encouraged to talk. Because anyone who is not already hook, line, and sinker into their pathos will discover how puerile, fanatic, and ultimately boring such grownchildren are. Face it: you'll never convince the grownchildren of anything, but you can get the rest of the table in your court - and they will take on the burden of challenge. It's actually a lot of fun!

This is the first I've heard of the rule against commenting on old threads. How old is too old? It's annoying to have threads close with no notice.

Hate to plonk, but Stephen Potter wasn't an "Oxford don." He taught for a while at the University of London before joining the BBC as a writer, and went on from there as a freelance for the rest of his career.

I agree heartily with this manner of engaging SJWs. It worked for me in the military with popous officers too.

I don't resort to rhetorical games. When one of them starts with their crap I just love making their heads explode and don't give a rats ass who doesn't like it. When it comes to dealing with my ignorant nephews and nieces it's the spirit of the bayonet. I'm not going to try and win hearts and minds, I'm there to utterly crush them and embarrass and mock them if necessary.

I had thanksgiving with several local professors. All very progressive.
We were asked to say what we are thankful for. My daughter, who is not stranger to thanksgiving game, said "Jesus." After a pregnant pause she added "he's our gardener". This caused much relief in the progressives, because thanking god, and not some poor illegal immigrant we grossly underpay, would be wrong. by the way, we have no gardener. She winked at me. Game On. I said I was thankful for diversity, that I knew so many people who were both very progressive and very conservative, and that my circle of friends was large enough to encompass people of all beliefs and background. Could of heard a pin drop as the stupid progressives tried to sort that out. Diversity of...thought? Is that a thing? My daughter nodded in appreciation. Well played sir.
