The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Flatness is the reason the three jobs with the most projected growth in your country all earn less than $27,000 a year, and it is also the reason that all the secondary institutions that once gave structure and meaning to hundreds of millions of American lives—jobs and unions but also local newspapers, churches, Rotary Clubs, main streets—have been decimated. And flatness is the mechanism by which, over the past decade and with increasing velocity over the last three years, a single ideologically driven cohort captured the entire interlocking infrastructure of American cultural and intellectual life. It is how the Long March went from a punchline to reality, as one institution after another fell and then entire sectors, like journalism, succumbed to control by narrow bands of sneering elitists who arrogated to themselves the license to judge and control the lives of their perceived inferiors. Flatness broke everything.The rabid drive for societal change on the part of the progressives has resulted in unbelievable conformity of thought that has drifted inexorably to the left. No longer do we have a marketplace of ideas; the long march has effectively walled off the very political philosophy that is responsible for so much of the world's successes. What we have is flatness of thought, flatness of expression (see the art world!), even flatness in architecture and design!
The reigning aesthetic of the 20th century was modernism, which articulated in one word the values of the industrial revolution. Modernism and the Machine Age brought with them their own features: Anti-classicalism; anti-Victorianism; the power of science; the absence of filigree; an emphasis on the future over the past, and the valorization of machine production and engineering as the highest forms of human creativity. This new aesthetic soon began to transform all parts of cultural and material existence, from visual art and poetry to fashion and the built environment. Starting in the second decade of the 1900s, certain Communists began seeing in modernism a potential advertisement for the values of a mass society of industrial workers laboring under the direction of a small group of engineers. In other words, this aesthetic—which whole swaths of the Western world were already in the process of quickly adopting—could also be the perfect delivery mechanism for their political ideology. One hundred years later, we find ourselves in the middle of a similar cultural and political struggle.From this perspective it makes perfect sense to destroy the symbols of society's success. They must rebuild in their own image; replacing the glories of the past with their oppressive uniformity of thought and action. Imagine a world without beauty and individuality, without a personal and private relationship with God, without any of the things that make us all unique. Because that's exactly what they imagine for us all.

Welcome to Critical Theory, the preferred outlet of the Post-Modernists. The individual reduces to the group and the group reduces to a power position. All things reduce to their manifestation of or influence on power positions.
It's deeply evil, to a point that is genuinely satanic.

Ah, now you get it. You see, "equity" only matters in the so-called "good jobs" like programming, project management, government administration, executive management, etc. *Those* positions must have so-called "equity."
The "bad jobs" like garbage men and roofers will never have "equity" enforcement. So whites, men, Asians, etc. who are forced out to make way for "equity" will be forced into those jobs even if they're not suited for them or they don't pay as well as they're accustomed to, since those same groups will also be excluded from most support programs for displaced workers.

Nope, that's where the "intersectionality" kludge on Critical Theory comes in. The problem of reduction to the group and then reduction to power is that there are too many groups they can't be rid of yet. The result is the "oppression Olympics" with which we're all familiar.
If whites were the best at basketball, equity would apply because of all the same tired arguments they make all the time anyway. But since one of the most oppressed groups under CRT - Black westerners - are the best at basketball, equity doesn't apply since inequity in this case is restorative due to historical mistreatment.

480 473 Had this conversation last night with a relative in Ohio. He and I both find it perplexing that so many people on the right hate DeWine and Abbott, and think they are sellouts to the left. Until you live under an actual leftist, your perspective on this is a little skewed. it's probably no different for me living under Whitmer. I would probably think she was ok if I was in California.
My point is that you ought to be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.

I don't think it will work. Alinsky's strategy depends on honesty. You can use the rules against the structure only if the structure believes in those rules.
But most Critical Theorists are not true believers and indeed many if not most are cynical exploiters of something convenient. You can't use the rules against someone who doesn't believe in those rules and doesn't much care about consistency.

Somewhat related: I was in a grocery store and Limelight by Rush came over the speakers.
Now, I get that its an old song by modern standards, and its like having Girl from Ipanema play when I was young but... it doesn't really feel like muzac or something neutral and somewhat soothing to play for shoppers to play Rush.

This is such a hoary cliche.
No, his voice isn't for everyone , but for those who like it it, he actually has a lot of range and many different ways of using it--plus his ability to phrase is second to none.
He'd never have been picked foe American Idol or The Voice, but Bob Dylan can sing rings around the monotonous excruciating and annoying high-pitched wail emanating from from Geddy Lee's pie hole.

The musicals they inspired were much, much better than what we have today.
BTW, there was a huge, international sci/tech fair in Paris in 1900. The countries participating put together booklets about what their peeps were working on. Germany wrote a big book, basically an encyclopedia of Germany, circa 1900. Large section on German emigration, primarily to the U.S., but also South America, during the 19th century. Stuff on horticulture + all the up-and-coming SCILENCE! of the early 20th century. I managed to get a paperback copy. It's a fantastic read if you're into 19th century Europe, esp. Germany.

Buzzion, you couldn't be more wrong. What I'm pointing out is that conservatives , IMO, tend to be worse than leftists at wanting to toss leaders for even the slightest wrongthink or decision making. No matter how overwhelming the rest of their record, they become immediate persona non grata if they have a slightly different opinion on something.

"I agree, not everything is broken. We say that today 3/11/21. Wonder how we will feel as the years go by until finally 11/5/24 gets here? I pray I will not have pulled all of my hair out."
The major issue facing ordinary people during any crisis is to accept that you are limited in what you can do or what others can do. So, concentrate on the variables such as family, faith, friends, personal resilience, health, that you can control and remember that this time too shall pass. In an internet age, probably sooner rather than later. The truth is that oligarchies that ignore most peoples' desires for stability and security in life are short lived.
Even during horrific times, for the most part, people survive, mourn their losses, and persist. The will to do so is in your hands.

BTW, there was a huge, international sci/tech fair in Paris in 1900. The countries participating put together booklets about what their peeps were working on. Germany wrote a big book, basically an encyclopedia of Germany, circa 1900. Large section on German emigration, primarily to the U.S., but also South America, during the 19th century. Stuff on horticulture + all the up-and-coming SCILENCE! of the early 20th century. I managed to get a paperback copy. It's a fantastic read if you're into 19th century Europe, esp. Germany.

Until I was an adult, I always thought it was pronounced "dip-luh-DOH-kiss" not "dih-PLOD-uh-kuss". I had only read the word and never heard it. Six-year-olds without internet access don't get "sophisticated" pronunciation. I prefer "dip-luh-DOH-kiss", especially b/c it rhythms with "hocus-pocus".

No, I think they honestly don't have any clue how to survive in a world that doesn't operate according to the rules that they've always lived by. It's like a kid who does well in high school and then falls apart after graduation because it turns out life isn't like high school. I think they know that the system is rotted and fragile and will eventually collapse, they just are too scared to allow it to collapse, so instead they try to keep it propped up for another year, another month, another week, and collect their grift while they can.

Nothing much that happens or is commented here is real. And people mistake this for reality, because perhaps their personal reality is unpleasant.
Sure, there are the "MoMe's"; I do know a few commenters here in meat space (and really, I married one), so it's not like everything that happens here is inconsequential. But...it's not real, until you make it "real", by actually interacting in the real world.
I think "Witch Doctor" and another young guy who did comment here and committed suicide a few years ago, have much more serious issues than taking advice from people on AoS.
I also think we can take it easy on each other, because things are just not going to magically get better. Just let people vent without jumping down their throats.
And Bon Scott drank himself to death, as I recall.

I've thought much the same. TMR is full of grim news and really nothing approaching funny or light. After the first 50 comments it devolves into the same thing as the previous day, and the day before that... a lot of pent up frustration and hopelessness.
I appreciate the effort JJ puts into it but since the election it's just miserable news day in and day out.
It might be factual, but it's not healthy.

Ain't no such thing as a law-abiding citizen, and there hasn't been for a long time now. The law and the even bigger mess of regulation ensures that no one is compliant. It's very useful for when it comes time for the state to point its roving eyes at you (and often randomly).

The problem is that if the "leaders" don't get immediate, hard pushback for moving left, they think (exacerbated by the "newfound" respect from the MFM and dems) that is the way to go.
When the bastards learn that the most infinitesimal turn to the left will be met with recalls, pitchforks and torches, then we might be on the right track.

I think both major parties have lost all connection to why they exist, in the sense of how they were supposed to benefit their voters.
They are now both puppets of their respective oligarchs, with the Democrat Party being the more corrupted of the two, because an oversimplified view of it is their corruption causes untold damage and destruction, whereas Republican corruption is mainly in the form of indifference, and the slow (and sometimes not so slow) ceding of territory to the Democrats.

nah, they died out in N.A. along with the other megafauna at the end of the last Ice Age. That is often blamed on early man, but if that is true, why didn't happen in Africa, which had more ancient humans than anywhere else?
Nobody anywhere knew what to do with horses until the proto-Indo Europeans figured it out about 7,000 years ago, which is why they spread across so much of the planet.

Sometimes reforms happen, England for example went through some horrific times but survived better than places on the continent. The Eastern Roman Empire lasted about one thousand years longer in Constantinople and other examples of regeneration of civilizations have occurred in history where a good ruler is followed by bad or indifferent but a new ruler comes about to bring reforms again.
What we are seeing is the breakdown of democratic institutions due primarily to the fact that they do not work well unless people are cohesive in their views of what a political system can and cannot do.

Unless humans cooperate, elephants and hippos are a lot harder to hunt down and kill than horses. Besides, the African natives could subsist to a large degree on wild plants and later, minimal agriculture, plus trapping small animals, etc. They did not need to worry about protection from a cold climate, so killing animals for their fur wasn't a priority, either.

Ackshually...Founding members Eddie Jackson (bass) and Michael Wilton (guitar) are still with Queensryche. Scott Rockenfield (drummer) is officially on hiatus but hasn't been around in awhile. Singer Todd LaTorre recorded the drum tracks on The Verdict (2019). Casey Grillo is the touring drummer. Parker Lundgren is the other current guitarist. They put on a good show, not up to the original Ryche in their prime, but can still rock your face off. In my opinion.

Besides his music you mean. During Iraq one of their songs was written from the perspective of an Iraqi boy killed by a US soldier but he's ok with it because that soldier will be following him next and going to hell.

This is why the hysteria by the left over Christian "dominionists" and the hope of the rapture is so idiotic. They keep telling us the world is ending because water might rise 6". But its a tell: they are using the global warming thing to try to implement their radical insanity on the world and beleive that is the only possible reason Christians might look forward to Christ's return.

My mom truly pissed off a couple of my aunt's wealthy liberal Democrat friends about thirty years ago.
They were enthusiastically prattling on about how diverse their gated community was... "oh, there's a black family three doors down. And some gays next door. And, and, and..."
My mom laughed directly in their faces, because she's smart and doesn't brook any bullshit. "You're kidding yourselves," she said, "All these people are just like you: affluent, well-educated professionals with the same viewpoints in the same cloistered community. There is no diversity here at all."
She was invited to NO MOAR dinner parties with those two.

Substitute B'Gal and her Metallica CD collection then reinsert grandkids. One of the gk's just discovered she liked Led Zeppelin and her dad axed me to recommend some albums for her. Hope springs eternal.

Quickie OT: My uncle Larry is going in for heart surgery this morning. Funny guy, retired career Navy who then worked with one of the big defense contractors running F/A-18 simulators on the local Navy base.
Just to get a sense for our relationship, he was kind of bummed that he couldn't help more with moving the business into my new shop space. I told him to get better because I have an incoming shipment of boulders I'll need help with next week...
I'd appreciate some Horde prayers for him.

I know the M60 had it's problems. But it's always been one of my favorites, just because it looks *so* cool. One of the first prints to ever come off my dad's first color printer was just an M60 sitting in some jungle on a tripod, for my bedroom wall.
