Critical Consciousness
They're trashing the word "Woke" and conservatives for using it because it has become a gigantic liability that their ideology has a name now. Keep going. Woke means Critical Consciousness. Critical Consciousness means the cult beliefs and activism of Critical Marxism. It means denouncing the existing world to make way for a "utopian" alternative.
Critical consciousness is, in short, having adopted a critical mindset, in the sense of critical theories. It is to have taken on a worldview that sees society in terms of systems of power, privilege, dominance, oppression, and marginalization, and that has taken up an intention to become an activist against these problematics. To have developed a critical consciousness is to have become aware, in light of this worldview, that you are either oppressed or an oppressor--or, at least, complicit in oppression as a result of your socialization into an oppressive system. To have a critical consciousness is to be aware of - - and generally unhappy about - - your positionality in society, i.e., your relationship to systemic and institutional power as determined by Theory and based mostly on facts concerning what demographic groups you are a part of.
The term originated in the Portuguese . . from the post-Marxist Brazilian activist and educator Paulo Freire, usually deemed the father of critical pedagogy (that is, the application of critical theories to the theory of education). This Freire seems to have derived from the French psychoanalyst Frantz Fanon's concept of conscienciser in his early anti-colonialism book, Black Skin, White Masks. The "consciousness" that Fanon discussed mostly applies to the racial consciousness and consciousness of the colonized that would make people oppressed within colonial contexts seek to rebel and overthrow their oppressors. Freire, working mostly to achieve improvements in literacy in a postcolonial setting in Brazil while approaching the topic from a communist perspective, considered critical consciousness in a similar light, though less openly revolutionary than Fanon and more interested in reform.This Freire guy seems to be EVERYWHERE in schools of education. Time to get kids out of government schools? The grievance studies folks were not finished:
Critical theories, not least in education, have evolved considerably since the 1960s and 1970s when Freire developed these ideas, and, now, critical consciousness is typically reserved to mean the same kind of critical awareness or awakening, though with regard to issues of identity--like racism, sexism, and so on (see also, neo-Marxist)--and not so much through Marxist or Marxian analysis of economics or the systems that exist and/or support capitalism. (See: The Critical Turn in Education: From Marxist Critique to Poststructuralist Feminism to Critical Theories by Isaac Gottesman.) In that sense, a critical consciousness, sometimes referred to as "critical literacy" or "social justice literacy" now (see examples below), refers essentially to assuming that society is constructed by systems of power that manifest dominance and oppression mostly in terms of "intersecting" demographic group identities. The slang term for this specific type of critical consciousness, arising since the Black Lives Matter movement propelled it to a widespread meme, is "wokeness."
AOC demonstrates how having critical consciousness impacts views on parents' rights. Everything critical consciousness opposes is "fascism." https://t.co/8YtCMmxctL

The Woke ideology is female. You can't respond to it with toxic masculine strength. That's punching a woman in the face. . . That's not how you deal with a hysterical woman; that's for an aggressive man. Woke advances by summoning demons that barely exist so it can defeat them. . . It can be sidestepped with strength, tho.What's happening in Nebraska? Here's a challenging idea. Do you have any related ones?

In the Theory and activism of Critical Social Justice, "genocide" frequently refers to the destruction by any means at all of a (politically relevant) identity group, especially a politically relevant identity group that can be understood as being marginalized, minoritized, or oppressed by systemic power, presently or historically. This destruction need involve zero deaths and could be the result of people no longer seeing themselves as a politicized identity or being removed from the circumstances in which that identity is relevant (e.g., by curing a condition like hearing loss). This is difficult to understand, and one's mind may, at this point, immediately jump to an identity category like race and think that only a literal genocide could possibly qualify for the kind of destruction necessary to merit this use of the term. This is incorrect. As races, being socially constructed, are not seen in Theory as having any relationship to biology or, for that matter, physical reality, and are instead seen as political categories, one could "genocide" a race, in Theory, like blacks, simply by declaring race to be irrelevant. [1] (A savvy reader here will realize, then, that the elimination of racism through anything that looks like integrationist strategies or genuine colorblindness might be construed as a genocide and thus vigorously rejected and resisted, including with violence, by advocates of Critical Social Justice.) This is generally in keeping with the view in Critical Social Justice that identity groups and their cultures, not individuals, are the relevant object of interest, and those groups and cultures are inherently political (see also, identity).In other words, if kids who "identify as trans" don't go on puberty blockers and decide later that they aren't trans (like Brangelina's lovely daughter), that's genocide. At the link, "genocide" of fat people through weight loss is described in "fat studies". GAINZZZ is genocide!

My problem with Lindsay is that he too often attributes to "Marxism", "Hegeilianism", or even some kind of quasi-mystical "gnosticism" what can better and more usefully be attributed to good old fashioned petty racial and class resentments. He is too academic for his own good.

I like the idea of wokeness, which I define as treating all individuals with respect and learning how best to do it. But like most good ideas, too much of it turns everything sour. For example…
Management is a good thing, but too much management is micromanaging. Alone time is good, but too much makes you sad. Even taxes are good for protecting the homeland, but too much taxation destroys the country. Wokeness is like that.
On a scale from 1 to 10, a wokeness level of 7 might be exactly what the Republic needs. We’re at 9, and the wheels are starting to come off. It is now irrational to associate with the overwoke. Too much danger of imagined harm.
When Black Americans told me confederate statues were offensive, I learned something useful and supported the call to remediate the situation. The feelings of Black Americans are important to me. You can’t make good decisions without that data.

When Colin Kaepernick offended patriotic Americans by kneeling during the national anthem, I praised him for informing the rest of the country how Black Americans feel about police brutality. I think that information was useful. It isn’t all about the crime data. How people feel… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
White Americans, particularly the men, do a lot of whispering about their feelings because speaking up costs you your livelihood and your reputation. This denies Black America the useful data they need to make good policy decisions.
My so-called “racist rant” was obvious hyperbole, at least to people familiar with my pattern and history. I intended to offend, in Kaepernick style, to draw energy in my direction, so my point would have a chance of penetrating the social bubble that needs it the most. If you… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

…is that a backwards-focused framework for understanding America necessary causes MORE racial animosity not less. And the backwards focus is in direct conflict with all the known tools for personal success. For example…
Reparations are the opposite of a reciprocity mindset. Grievance is the opposite of gratitude. Focusing on systemic racism is the opposite of optimism. I could go on. It’s all destructive, top to bottom, once you dial the wokeness to unsustainable levels.
To be clear, I favor Black History month and an unfiltered telling of the past. But once the past becomes your default operating system, you have abandoned the future. And it shows.
The fully predictable impact of overwokeness is White people will learn to avoid the risk of association with haters and troublemakers. That’s not good for anyone.

I'll have to tune into his podcast again and see. For a while there Lindsay was getting WAY into the weeds on this woke stuff and it just didn't resonate with me. He even got into skirmishes with other people on right who pointed out that the BLM marcher who throws a brick through your window probably isn't a student of Hegeil as much as he just hates white people.
At the end of the day, politics is about convincing the normies, whose eyes will glaze right over if you get into esoteric gnosticism while trying to explain the roots of wokeism and why it is bad.

"everything that opposes critical consciousness is fascism"
Yes, well, this is on account of the need for marxism to distract everyone from the fact that they were an initial co-belligerent in WW2 - and a genocidal one at that - not to mention how their uncontrollable rage about being stabbed in the back persists generations later.
Note how the Chinese aren't obsessed with the whole anti-nazi schtick. It's because they're not trying to compensate for anything. Western progressivism is virtually all downstream of Lenin, with no course-correction aside from better PR.

But that's the GOP. No hills to die on, got to be polite and respectable and collegial. Got to be Statemanly.

Why aren't there any Congressional Republicans willing to do the same and just say, "Fuck this, fuck you and fuck anyone who stands against me!" Bring shit to a screeching halt. Fuck it! You only live once. What's the worst that can happen, lose reelection and be forced yo get a real job? Come on!
But that's the GOP. No hills to die on, got to be polite and respectable and collegial. Got to be Statemanly.

According to Wikipedia, the story on "Streets of Bakersfield" is that the songwriter, Homer Joy, kept getting put off day after day by Buck Owens's producer when he was trying to pitch his songs. After one particularly aggravating rejection, he wrote the song as a kind of FU to the Owens crowd.
Of course the producer finally asked Joy to play one of his songs and he played this one, which both the producer and Buck loved and they recorded it the same day.
Sounds like a show biz kind of tale to me, but it's kind of fun to think it COULD be true.

Speaking of shrill marxists;
We're not looking forward over the next few years to figuring out how to explain to the kids what kind of country they live in and who is running it, and what this means for them.
For those who don't have kids yet, but are planning to: the small ones will call it like they see it regardless of time or place. You are warned.
There is already a small stash for when they're older with enough shiny shit in it to travel anywhere in the world and live there for at least a year, plus the requisite friends that will always show up with a shovel and no questions. That'll be a fun talk.

The thing to remember is that there has been a contrary "raising of consciousness" going on at the same time.
DJT is a catalyst and an outcome of that.
We're in it, so it is hard to see what it is for us. But, it is anti-thetical to Woke.
I think its core is Hierarchy and intact integral distinct States. Along with an affirmation of material reality and the laws that govern it. Also, sexual dimorphism.
I am not comfortable with this Hegelian style of reasoning. But that's what appears to be happening.

When my wife was getting her degree in psychology two decades ago, they were very specific that simply having a trait didn't make it a "disorder." Disorders were supposed to be crippling and severe, not merely a tic or inconvenient.
So part of the issue is defining everyone as sick in some way.
BTW, watched your video. Quite interesting.

I mentioned it the other day, but I've come to the conclusion that - in general - men with mental illness try to deal with it, hide it, and/or overcome it, while women with mental illness embrace it and make it part of their identity.

I suffered from depression in 2015. They said it would be about six months until I got back on track. It took me three years. The Zoloft worked for me, but it was a while for me to get back to me.

When was the last time a person went to a mental health clinic and was NOT diagnosed with any DSM mental health condition?
Posted by: Muldoon at March 25, 2023 11:37 AM
IMO a lot of diagnoses, like "adjustment disorder" and "reactive depression" are used to get paid for "conditions", like normal grief or a stupid overreaction to a personal rejection (superficially cutting, often while drunk or high, over the loss of a boyfriend, girl friend or even a bad grade to soften parental reaction" Nobody gets paid for " acted stupidly", and I doubt there's a code for that.

The "educators" still seem to deny they are teaching/pushing CRT, while every day demanding parents leave them alone so they can indoctrinate your kids with their dogma (which is all the nonsensical Woke crap).
CRT is not an organic movement, this is a weapon pushed from top down. (Critical Theory probably not the origin, probably goes back to the Satan deceiving Eve narrative.)
Original tea parties were organic, but the left's Occupy Wall Street was organized and chaotic, lawless but allowed to break laws. Mitch really hated the tea parties, not sure if he has come out against Woke.

I have a problem with blaming this stuff on Marxism.
The problem is that it isn't Marxist, it's demonic. I know, even the right wants to use secular materialist terminology, but that's a blind alley.
What is more, Marxism came down hard on sexual deviancy, which was the result of decadent capitalism. One reason why the Catholic priest scandal was able to grow was that Communists regularly tried to discredit clergy by smearing them as homosexuals. It was the worst thing they could call them.
Saint John Paul II knew this from his time in Poland, and it make him skeptical of reports - which was unfortunate but understandable.
This is partly why China hates teh ghey: they are still formally Communist and as "scientific socialists" they regard it as a mental illness. They are also bringing back Chinese traditions, which hate it as well.
Disney hardest hit.

What a dumbfuck. If UBI ever comes to pass, there won't be any cash to "withdraw the check" into. You'll get an EBT card, with strict limits on what you can spend the credits on. No gas for your car, no guns, no gold, nothing that might be a portable store of value.

As for men v women, I think the differences in "dealing with it myself" are diminishing. Before I retired, I saw the number of young men coming in for a stupid reaction to an upset on the rise, and as I mentioned a lot of these were substance fueled. Girlfriend dumps him, he smashes wall and breaks his hand, cries in the ER gets admitted, or in some cases gets frunk then takes an OD, gets admitted, or threatens violence, police called, gets admitted. Younger people have less training on dealing with setbacks, and substances lower useful inhibitions.

A lot of Latin-derived languages use some form of “sinister” for left, and “dexter” for right. Leading to the only D&D riddle I still remember from high school.
“Sinister is Dexter, and Dexter is Sinister.”
All it meant was that if we wanted to go left, we had to go right, and vice versa. Since Latin is no longer taught in public schools, we were unable to make use of that warning.

Lloyd I think Paul Kengor would agree Karl Marx while not a Satanist, that would make you a believer in a higher power. But he definitely wanted to destroy western civilization and religion.
Where Kengor goes from this is how old classic Marxism has been turned from mostly class warfare to now gender, race is now the classes. Everything almost in modern Leftism is sex is your main definition.

Abuse of head care on both sides. Staying with Mom during the black days of the divorce, I'm not sleeping well. She insists (nags like Moms do) I take a ride up to the VA and get a sleep aid. I get there, go through the triage stuff, and Bingo, hey Bill, you were in Vietnam and we're going to send you over to the stress recovery people. I walk over there and the first nurse asks me if I would have problems dealing with a Vietnamese doctor. I told her I got along with gooks as long as they weren't shooting at me. Talked to the doc, got a little valium (enough to share with the rest of the class at the bar) and went home. See, another PTSD victim on the VA's rolls.

Yes, that was the Communist plan to take over, but NOT how they intended to govern. That's why "cultural Communism" or "cultural Marxism" is a losing argument.
The left has seized control of the moral vocabulary and we need to take it back. We can start by calling things by their right name. Call demonic stuff demonic. Stigmatize devil worship.
I'm very encouraged that Catholic leaders are turning against being "nice." They're talking about it in print and in the homilies. We are called to hate sin, not be "nice" to it.

"Polling data from the Washington Post reveals that a sizable majority of adults who identify as transgender have not undergone medical interventions to aid their transition.
The article from The Washington Post, titled “Most trans adults say transitioning made them more satisfied with their lives,” found that a majority of the trans-identifying 515 respondents have only “socially transitioned.”

One of the greatest heresies of our time (spread by Church leaders!) is that people have "evolved" in some way. They haven't. They never do. The people knocking down Confederate statues were lynching "uppity" blacks 100 years ago.
The only real difference is that today's idiots are the most pampered and ignorant of actual life in human history. That only makes them weirder, but the same fundamentals still apply.
Orwell was also there at the leading edge of hyper-affluence. Not hard to see where it was going.

No it's not fun or desirable. But "mentally ill" is overused, and will probably continue to be overused. Supporting liberal bullshit is NOT mental illness, nor is supporting Trump, but you would not know this reading blogs.
As for the "liberal women" mentioned in the post, there is no mention of the diagnostic categories, and I suspect major diagnoses make up a relatively small percentage. An older colleague took a look at the latest DSM and said " I guess we won't get paid unless there's a disorder", one doesn't get paid for "shit choices"

And a lot of what he was writing about was literally happening in England as he was writing. My favorite example is the iconic chocolate rations from the book. They had confectionary rations well past World War II. It’s a major reason most of the iconic British chocolate companies are owned by multinationals like Nestle.

So. A little kid probably only seeking some attention and affection from a parent, and willing to say anything please the parent. And the parent imbues the kid with adult thinking skills.
Yeah. You're screwed kid.

Don't filibusters require the person stays on their feet and keeps talking? That woman looks like she'd last about 3 hours before needing a hamburger and French fry run.
Posted by: LASue at March 25, 2023 11:53 AM (Ed8Zd)
Exactly....they can't even do that right anymore. A filibuster meant staying up and talking until your asshole bled.
Nowadays they just say they are filibustering and then go out for taco bell and a smoke.

I wonder how many women watched "Queen for a Day" and felt better about their own circumstances? From the Wiki it appears to have run on radio, then tv for over 25 years. Pretty damn popular.

My guess is quite a few. "wow, my life seems pretty good" would be a natural response, but you always have the few that will collect ideas about how to be emotionally or physically compensated for unease.

Oh boy. Lady YD and my stepdaughter volunteer at a charity thrift store on the odd Saturday. Today some lady tried to accuse her of shortchanging her on purpose. Just a mislabeled item, plain as day. But this Karen went hard at her. She thinks it was racially motivated, but whatever it was, this lady picked the wrong target today.
She told her "look outside at my car. Look at yours. Look at my daughter's shoes. Look at yours. I don't steal money from anyone, let alone the poor! Now out! Get out!"
She thought she'd be sent home, but the owner said "thank G-d someone finally put her in her place." I guess this ain't the first time she picked on one of the girls there. But I bet it's the last.

Wokism is self-indulgent Communism, and borrows much more from Leninism than from Marxism. Lenin's excuse for why capitalist societies were prosperous and stable was that workers were too stupid to develop class consciousness, and thus needed a vanguard of intellectual revolutionaries to "accelerate the contradictions" inherent in capitalism. Today, Marxism is purely a tool of social criticism. Almost no one even mentions Marxism's eschatology. Leninism, not Marxism, is the heart of wokism. People with all the class markers of the oppressor class: high income, high net worth, elite manner of speech and attire, are able to extricate themselves from the accusation of being oppressors by announcing themselves allies of the oppressed classes, without actually sacrificing anything and doing anything to change the structure of society.

"the State Senator has an 11 year old child who identifies as transgender."
No, the child is too young to "identify" as anything. SHE identifies her child as transgender---Munchausen by Proxy syndrome. Her child is nothing but a means to fulfill her psychological need for attention, which is also why she is a politician rather than having some more prosaic job, such as full-time mother.

The genocide commentary reminds me of something from the Battletech universe. The tl,dr of the Clan philosophy is that they're Proud Warrior Race Guys born and bred for battle, preferably as highly ritualized duels but they'll take anything. Eventually they invade the Inner Sphere (dysfunctional feudal Europe in space) but the invasion is stopped when the Clan leader--who didn't actually want this war--arranges a proxy battle with the Catholic Church ComStar, which the Clans lose and per the terms of the agreement must adhere to a ceasefire.
The other Clans are totally butthurt by this and accuse the Clan boss of genocide because it interrupted the Clans' ability to define themselves in terms of making war with the Spheroids. So they go to war with that guy's Clan, several other Clans leave Clan space in teh aftermath, and eventually the Clans go nuts and purge themselves into oblivion because their philosophy was ultimately built on shaky ground.

Maybe the virtuous Catholics who don't like their religion becoming a proxy for nutty post-everything political forces just need to get themselves an antipope. Schisms usually arise from this sort of thing, historically speaking.

Ah! Helpful context.
Parents of younger trans kids are akin to Munchausen by Proxy parents: it is THEIR identity that is driving this, it is their sole focus/top priority making the world aware of and accommodate their trans kid.
It really IS harmful to her -- what is her identity apart for SUPER CARING TOLERANT MOM of A TRANS you guys?

Look at this comment, it reinforces this ideology and how they are willing to sacrifice their own children to some utopian end. This is a response to someone saying homeschooled children are better educated than in public schools:
"better educated": maybe they are (in the US?), maybe they're not, but one of the points of a DECENT public education (not one that depends on your neighbourhood's mean income) is that most students have approximately similar education and thus equal chances at life after school

The Marxist is prideful, brazen, ambitious. The Conservative man calm, God-fearing, steady. The Marxist seeks to divide; he wants his own and will shoulder his brother aside to loot it. The Conservative man unites. He succors his fellow, knowing that what belongs to the commonwealth belongs to him as well. The Marxist covets ; he sues his neighbor in the law court, he intrigues, he dissembles.

No it's the opposite actually. He calls the effort to push the transagenda onto African and Asian nations "ideological colonialization". And he has referred to the transgender agenda as "diabolical".
the US Catholic Bishops just issued a statement forbidding gender reassignment surgery in Catholic hospitals.

If you look at the "cultural Marxists," they inevitably move towards the demonic.
Castrating children. Abortion up to the moment of birth. Elevating sexual deviancy to a protected class.
And of course they always despise the Church. Prayers must be suppressed, services eliminated.
That's the "tell" that these aren't 'scientific socialists' with a five-year plan, they are in league with infernal powers.

Like so much else now, current use of "Marxist" (by both the dumb destructive types, and their critics) has little to no relation to anything actually Marxist (which is now just a vague grab-bag term for anti-traditional, anti-western, anti-freedom, totalitarian delusions and animosities). But that like all other such battles that one was lost long ago.
So on to other battles - well, past ones. Mostly to provoke Muldoon. March 26, 1945 entry in B-26 pilot's war diary:
"Just returned from the [unclear, pretty sure a term for the repair depot] from flak leave. Target was marshaling yard in the city of Wurzburg, Germany. No flak. Landed at 386 B.G. [bomb group] (A-60) [airbase in UK, not his home base] low on gas - stayed one night. Excellent hits on target. Mission #46. Duration 4:45."

Schisms usually arise from this sort of thing, historically speaking.
historically speaking there has been turmoil in the RC Church that by all rationale would obviate its very existence today. What's occurring now, historically...is just a speed bump.

235 As for Pope Francis, if he is doing that - supporting colonialism trans stuff into Africa
No it's the opposite actually. He calls the effort to push the transagenda onto African and Asian nations "ideological colonialization". And he has referred to the transgender agenda as "diabolical".
the US Catholic Bishops just issued a statement forbidding gender reassignment surgery in Catholic hospitals.

The National Review right joined with the left to vilify people of faith, mocked them as ignorant and stressed that we should talk about things only in economic terms ("Jobs! Prosperity! Greatness!") and never in religious terms.
The left uses religious terms all the time, and have claimed the language of faith from the right. We must reclaim that usage and speak the plain truth about evil.

This is the kind of thing that gets me agitated.
The opposite of Woke, as I've lived it over the last 50 years, was Love It Or Leave It. The idea that everything was perfect, just as it is, and to question even the smallest part was heresy.
All I'm watching is the Left take the same blind enthusiasm and turn it up to 11 ... which is what they always do.

And think about what this is like for her kid: he/she knows that is he/she decided to not be trans anymore then mommy would lose her purpose. It's a guilt trip, and potential loss of love (in a kid's view of the world) since mommy goes so overboard to make him/her feel loved since becoming trans. There is no escape when mommy is to tied up in the crusade.

Calvin Robinson is a gem, I believe he is saintly. He also has balls of steel. I heard his interview after he spoke at the Oxford Union...he said the atmosphere in the room was hostile, and even the students that were assigned to support his position were useless because at the outset they stated they did not hold the same beliefs as Calvin, they were just there as pro forma presence. So he was debating 6 against 1.
He also speaks out frequently against CRT in the UK, and even though he is biracial, he has (predictably) been censured as racist.

Here you go rhomboid. From the EZ Dog journal this week in 1944 at Anzio
21 – 26 Mar
Five days in a row with nothing exciting enough to even write about. Weather fair - occasional light showers. A liberal sprinkling of 170’s is connected with the atmosphere. Had one land fairly close - a few fragments lit around, but nothing very scary. Some indication that Gerry has something “in the air”, though nothing definite yet.
Had my first “Cub” ride along the front the 25th. Very quiet. A 155 shell came buzzing very close to the plane to add to the interest.
...nothing exciting enough to even write about? well, except for the German 170 mm artillery shell exploding nearby spraying light shrapnel around and nearly getting our plane downed by a random passing shell. Ho hum.

There are some truly courageous individuals who, following the prompts of the Holy Spirit are very publicly swimming against the Woke current, usually at great personal cost.
Calvin Robinson is one of them. Becket Cook is another. He left the LGBT+ lifestyle and is now a Christian who has committed to a ministry that supports Biblical truths.

And she was happy, successful, beautiful and fulfilled! How DARE she prove feminist values lead to unhappiness?!

Sympathy
By PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass, And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals
I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars; For he must fly back to his perch and cling When he fain would be on the bough a-swing And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars And they pulse again with a keener stingI know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me, When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,When he beats his bars and he would be freeIt is not a carol of joy or glee,But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core, but a plea, that upward to Heaven he flingsI know why the caged bird sings!
Marguerite Johnson got the credit for this...figures: billionaire Orca was in her corner.

Thanks Muldoon! (tho you're probably gone)
Oldest friend's father was an L4 pilot, in the Pacific, though. With exactly one combat mission. Saipan. He flew off an escort carrier, but was able to then move to an airfield on the island US forces took quickly. Enormous ammo dump explosion near the tent where he was sleeping had the flight surgeon determine concussion/no longer fit for flight duty - so he spent the rest of the war doing paperwork in New Caledonia. Pretty sweet gig.
Another best friend's father whiled away the war in Trinidad, guarding oil facilities. Tough duty! So Muldoon Sr's boredom the last week of March indeed looks amusing. I mean, what's a little inaccurate artillery fire in the morning?
Oldest friend's father was an L4 pilot, in the Pacific, though. With exactly one combat mission. Saipan. He flew off an escort carrier, but was able to then move to an airfield on the island US forces took quickly. Enormous ammo dump explosion near the tent where he was sleeping had the flight surgeon determine concussion/no longer fit for flight duty - so he spent the rest of the war doing paperwork in New Caledonia. Pretty sweet gig.

I gotta hand it to the woke though. They're willing to hit the streets and actually fight and sacrifice (since circa the 60's) for what they believe. Same goes for their politicians.

You mean the folks who have a "live and let live" understanding of America and the Constitution and the people that get arrested for standing near abortion clinics and working-class nobody parents that get put on FBI watch lists for asking that pornography be removed from school libraries and politicians that have their phones tapped and falsehoods spread by government agencies?
Yeah, it's weird.

I remember years ago when saying you had a dysfunctional family was thing. Now i see so many ‘influencers’ and women of certain age where it’s anxiety….. all want some label of specialness. Sadly, there is no common sense.
I am concerned how my presentation will go= no you have anxiety.
I disagreed with my partner/spouse= mental abuse.
Sometimes a tiny paper cut is just that and not a 911 call but again no common sense for so many.
