"We have no dignity anymore"

The quote above is from a video by Spencer Pratt (included below) about the Lindsay Clancy case. Which may be leading to some similar cases:

"IS THIS THE NEW ME TOO MOVEMENT?" "An Illinois mother allegedly hanged her 2-year-old son that she described as the 'anti-Christ' - - hours after discussing the Lindsay Clancy case with friends. . . '

But today, since we are in the Labor Day Weekend, perhaps we can touch upon some othe issues related to dignity - some references to communism and other forms of totalitarianism and the dignity of our educational systems.

But back to murders related to mental health. Matt Vespa wrote that some of the JURORS wore pink in apparent solidarity with the defendant.

The Spencer Pratt video mentioned pre-dated the mistrial. It's not just this case:

Abandoning Totalitarianism

Remembering J.R.R.Tolkien who passed away this day in 1973. In 1938, Nazis demanded to know if he was Jewish. He responded with a high-class burn.

Senate Democrat nominee James Talarico appears ready to bring a touch of Trotsky to Texas. In a video from a climate forum, Talarico is shown declaring capitalism an “oppressive system” linked with white supremacy and that it must be “dismantled” to achieve a better world. It is reminiscent of Leon Trotsky, who denounced the “fundamental evil of the capitalist system” and called on citizens to free themselves from its oppression. The Democratic Socialists of America and radical sites have long called “to dismantle the capitalist state.”

History illuminates the present. I've been reading Stephen Kotkin's widely and justly praised multivolume biography of Joseph Stalin and have encountered many passages that illuminate the present.
I learned, for example, that Stalin met the exiled Vladimir Lenin more than a decade before the October 1917 revolution, and that by the early 1920s until his death in 1924, Lenin was in failing health, confined to an estate with "a staff, including the worker-cook Spiridon Putin," Russian President Vladimir Putin's grandfather.
That provides an interesting context for Vladimir Putin's 2005 speech in which he said that "the collapse of the Soviet Union was the biggest geopolitical catastrophe of the century."

Update on the Arday narrative - The dignity of our educational system:

Arday was "lynched".

Wokeness didn't end

Nature just put out an editorial praising Jason Arday, affirming the lie he was autistic & arguing he had an unmet right to see the evidence against him and respond accordingly

They argued that didn't happen, even though we all saw it

He was enabled. He really is a perfect example of the modern era. He pushed a little (lied) and everyone celebrated/enabled him- so he kept pressing further.

We all have known people who lie for no reason, about the smallest things. He was one of those people. He built an entire life around it. Yes, he was a piece of shit- but so was everyone who enabled him.

A pox on all their houses.

I think we’re sensitive to the Hug-a-Thug legal abuse of the Soros Prosecutors, who let criminals run free, in a Crime Wave Plandemic for One World Government. So we don’t want any more violent criminals walking free.

This woman is culpable, but we’d better not just dismiss the role played by Big Pharma. Have we already forgotten they tried to murder and maim us all for Money and Power?

Their Psych Drugs are also behind the Trans Shooters and they clearly played a role in driving this woman insane.

The final verse of the Old Testament:

Malachi 4

5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.”

74 >>Agree completely. Our problem at the moment is that a lot of our institutions are ruined, so we have to dedicate ourselves to tearing them down and rebuilding. I think the Kennedy Center contretemps is a good metaphor for the situation; at this point, just demolish it and start over with something new.

You know when I thought we were screwed? After 9/11 when W told us that Islam was a religion of peace. And then we got Obama.

I might not agree with ever tactic Trump's administration takes but for the first time that I can remember we are gloves off taking the fight to our enemies and winning. If we just stay strong and united there isn't a chance we lose.

75 She was getting scrips from 4 or 5 different doctors, and not taking all her meds in any case. She really was not making a good faith effort to let the meds work, if they even could.

77 I am wondering how much of LC's online support, specially on Tiktok, was paid bots.

Remember the movie... Ed Norton and Richard Gere. That's where I think we are. I am starting to think the meds are not even a factor, just cover.

79 Also, what meds is she on now? No one seems to ask this.

81 Sadly, there were "conservative" and "christian" women rah-rahing Lindsay Clancy as well. I think they don't understand either groups very well, and are psycho to boot.

There is actually one reddit sub which is very much "throw the murderer in jail" which is mostly liberals. I am surprised.

I haven't been following the details closely, but was there any evidence of blood or urine analysis that shed light on this? That maybe, as I've seen suggested, she took a seroquel shortly before the murders in order to set up the overmedicated defense?

83 Heard one fellow yesterday talking about how it's time to begin removing women from positions of authority. How do we know that lady cop isn't suffering some hormonal imbalance and will shoot me? What about that woman airline pilot? Or that woman general?
It's sure to get some...ahhh...comments.

She murdered her 3 children almost 4 years ago (Jan 2023) so one would think she would have succeeded in killing herself already if she intended to.
