Leftist, Disgusted By Intellectual Defenders of the Charlie Hebdo Murderers, Wonder If He Can Remain on the Left

Pretty trenchant commentary from a leftist.

Trigger warning: He doesn't like you very much, and will note that in passing, but he is accurate in galling out the "grotesque" hypocrisies, inconsistencies, and most of all stupidities of the pro-Islamist left.

The Literary Indulgence of Murder
by Nick Cohen
....
The temptation here is to drag up the old line that some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals can believe them. But the authors who broke with PEN are not just stupid but mendacious.
They repeated the lie that Charlie Hebdo was a cowardly publication, which "hit down" on poor and excluded immigrants.
...
The lie is on two levels. I'll deal with the racism charge first.
It is the worst of crimes on the intellectual left. When confronted with extreme and murderous theocratic reactionaries, they would rather not face, the most moronic – to borrow the [Maoist "Little Red Book's] insult – among them explain terror away in the only language they understand. Racism must have made the killer do it. It's the only explanation that makes sense. Why Charlie Hebdo even showed pregnant Boko Haram sex slaves shouting, "Don't touch our welfare!" That's it. That's why they died.

This particular cover was cited by many uneducted-pretending-to-be-eduated fools as proof of Charlie Hebdo's racism.

Yet the left -- which is not terribly smart -- constantly shows itself to be the worst sort of bluffers, pikers, and loudmouthed know-nothings.

In fact, the cover in question was a shot at some on what is called "the right" in French theorizing that people seeking asylum due to Boko Haram's predations were dishonest, and were really only seeking entree into French welfare system.

Thus, the cover -- of two Boko Haram child brides saying "Don't touch our welfare benefits!" -- was intended to be an ironic ridiculization of such claims.

The idea was, "Do you really believe that the kidnapped child-brides of Boko Haram would only be interested in fleeing to France to cash welfare checks, dummy?"

This was pretty obvious -- certainly these lefty idiots had at least heard that Charlie Hebdo was a leftwing magazine, so they should have had some curiosity about this cover and some suspicions that their uncultured brains might not be hip to what the cartoon was actually about -- and they were furthermore told all this repeatedly, by people who actually know about, like for example French leftwingers who explained the cover to their stupid leftwing cousins across the Channel and over the ocean.

But it was still easier for the know-nothings to continue to know nothing -- that is, ignorance served their ideological predisposition much better than enlightenment -- so they dismissed the explanations and clung to the stupid, moronic, uneducated, know-nothing ideological zealot interpretation they saw on stupid, moronic, uneducated know-nothing SJW zealot blogs.

And these people will accuse others of know-nothingism, and of being "Science Haters."

Cohen notes that various people tried to inform the British and American Social Justice Warriors of these basic facts, including a French leftwinger named Olivier Tonneau -- but the British and American left just didn't care 'bout no facts or fancy foreign-language readin'.

Tonneau did not realise that many will never allow themselves to understand, because their little world would fall apart if they made the effort.
Let me dispense with their bullshit about biting your tongues out of respect for marginalised and excluded. If this were true, left intellectuals and media would watch what they said about the working class supporters of the Tea Party, French NF and Ukip. If the followers of Marine le Pen had gunned down the staff of Charlie Hebdo,

I have asked this myself -- if Garry Trudeau claims a satirist cannot "punch down," what is this Champagne Socialist doing mocking anyone except his Martha Island compatriots?

Carey et al would have blamed the murders on the Hebdo‘s “arrogant” attacks on the ideology of ordinary French men and women [sic -- he means this in the form of a rhetorical question, would they have blamed... Why this is stated as positive sentence, I don't know.]
They do not and would not because they oppose racial prejudice. (Or at least some racial prejudice. Not one mentioned that the gang that killed the Hebdo staff were authentic racist killers, as they proved when they went on to slaughter Parisian Jews in a supermarket for no other reason than that they were Jewish.) But they cannot oppose religious prejudice – and in their failure they live a lie far greater and more grotesque than their lies about the dead of Charlie Hebdo.
Prose, Carey, the London Review of Books and so many others agree with Islamists first demand that the world should have a de facto blasphemy law enforced at gunpoint. Break it and you have only yourself to blame if the assassins you provoked kill you.

Eh, good piece.

I really want to stress here that their claims do not proceed merely from a dispute over philosophy (or, really, theology), but from a complete failure to understand the basic facts of the situation -- and that no matter how many times these know-nothings have the facts explained to them, they will not deal with them, because know-nothings are very stupid people who make the world a simpler and stupider place than it really is because it's all they can understand.

Here, stupidity is the gateway drug to cruelty, as usual.

My assertions have NEVER been countered... yet... even when they cannot argue with me on a scientific level, they tell me... well... its complicated... and because THEY cannot understand the science... does not mean that their pet 'scientist' (I use that term loosely... as most are not scientists at all) are wrong...

And since some pet scientist says something that THEY don't understand... by extension, I cannot be smart enough to understand it either, and so MUST be wrong.

Logic, facts, science... or hell... even basic MATH.. mean nothing to the left.

But to Trudeau, white Christians are the power structure. By race and culture, even though his lily-white atheist ass has a lot more access to the Halls of Power, he's punching 'up.'

Brown people, non-Christians, non-Americans automatically are 'weaker' to his racialist outlook.

so
many people (so so many people, in so many ways.) simply refuse to see
the truth because they can't face their world falling apart.

They
have defined the world in a certain way, and it is wrong. But their

their world view.

Yes, but religion is how we explain the inexplicable. It is our humble attempt to make sense of a world in our thee score and ten, and pass that knowledge on to the next cohort so that they have some guidelines and the advantage of past generations.
By definition, what religion is trying to explain is beyond our realm, so the explanation is beyond our realm. (hint - it requires faith.)

161 Racist cops? Do we even know the race of the cops?. If not predominantly AA, Baltimore has a huh percentage of AAs. As I remarked earlier,one of the cops charged is named Caesar. Now it's possible that it may be someone of Italian European background ,but I have known of several people named Caesar who are AA.

And you remind me of something that occurred to a few of us back after 9/11, when blogging really took off (that is, when it became pretty much a neccessity - I mean consuming the blogosphere's output).

The press and pop culture and most of academia are so far gone, so out of touch with reality, so possessed by stupid bigotries and unintelligent frameworks and world views, that blogs werea miraculous new medium for sensible, intelligent people with some life experience. And the really bizarre yet telling point was thatdebunking/correcting/fisking the "news" constituted 90% of good blogospheric activity.

In other words, fighting against public employee unions is ipso facto, racist.

____________________

According to the Daily Mail piece, the driver of the van, who is the one charged with the most serious charge (2nd degree murder) is a black guy named Caesar Goodson. The arresting officers were white.

Goodson appears to be an easy-going, mild-mannered type of guy. The article says he has never even fired his service revolver, even when he once had a suspect escape from his van and run off. (Goodson was disciplined for that). His police duties basically consisted of nothing more than driving the van around, picking up suspects. The other officers were supposed to secure the suspects in the van, and then follow the van. There doesn't appear to be any reason (at this point) to think that this Goodson guy deliberately drove the van roughly in an attempt to hurt Gray. He seems to have been more concerned that Gray was moving around and making such a fuss in the back, and he radioed the other offices and requested for them to secure Gray better.

Charging Goodson with murder seems a huge overreach. The black lady state's attorney, who appears to have very little criminal law experience and is mainly a political hack, has clearly pandered to the mobs.

It will be interesting to see if a mainly black jury is willing to sacrifice this good-natured, mild-mannered black guy's life to appease the mobs too.

________________________

Yep. I haven't yet heard a single piece of evidence that suggests that any of these cops, and certainly not the driver, were intentionally trying to cause Gray an injury. At most, the cops who put him in the back of the van were negligent in not securing him properly. But to charge the driver with murder is just flat out insane.

Then there is the fact that the hack state's attorney had as her legal mentor, major campaign contributor and member of her political transition team, the very same lawyer who is now representing the family of Freddie Gray. Can you say "conflict of interest" kiddies? She should be brought up on ethics charges before the Maryland State Bar for even being involved in the case, let alone making the charging decisions.

I was wondering about that. Because I thought the ME said the thing that killed Gray was a bolt in the back of the paddy wagon. If that's true, it would be an accidental death, though, right?

Homicide would require it be at the hands of another person, no? And no one is alleging the cops THREW him in to the bolt, are they?

BALT PD sources tell @joelwaldmanFOX ofcs "pissed", say ME switched
ruling on Gray's death from accidental to homicide after "meetings"

So they're railroading the black guy.

It is to laugh.

Depraved indifference murder due to not strapping him in. Lots of problems with that theory though. Really shd be a civil case which wd also take in acct Gray's contributory negligence.

The dead guy could have suffered some sort of trauma to his head days or even weeks before the arrest. And his actions of banging his head against the wall are what killed him.

By the way, what was he actually arrested for? The Gestapo are claiming he was wrongfully detained.

334 Remember the National Police Force Obama wanted back in 2009? The one that had more funding than the DoD?

Yes, folks, let's all have our local policing handled with the same level of competence and efficiency with which the VA treats sick veterans.

And did you know that the FBI's vaunted crime lab admitted last week that it has, for decades now, been giving false testimony about hair and fiber analysis in criminal cases, including death penalty cases?

Anybody who wants to expand federal power is batshit insane. If you think the cops are bad now, they'd be 100 times worse under federal control.

335 From the quotes appearing on the web, it sounds like disunity between Baltimore city politicians and the police department. Much like the antipathy between DeBlasio and NYPD. Not to mention the poor morale in the US Military with Obama as CinC.

In a bureaucracy when you don't like what your supervisor is telling you, you do it poorly, or not at all. Or you do it exactly as ordered even when you know the results will be disasterous.

Allegedly, he was arrested for carrying a switchblade knife, though the knife was only collapsible and thus not illegal.

As far as I know a knife that was legal.

The treehouse had a post that he had an active warrant but they took that down so who knows.

But if You were told to halt by the Police and You run isn't that reason to arrest?

No no I'm saying that "homicide" as a ruling -- whether justified or not, murder or not -- requires the death to be at the hands of another person, no?

Otherwise it's accidental death.

Like they wouldn't say someone who died in a car accident died from "homicide" would they?

No, and that wasn't the series of events.

The cops approached a group in which he was in, "made eye contact" with him, and he took off.

Which is probable cause to do a terry stop, I'd say, but just "getting outta dodge" before the cops talk to you in and of itself is not a crime. you're under no obligation to speak to police.

yes, the running was suspicious, but they had nothing to charge him with. Thus the bullshit knife charge.

Never fucking mind obama and the progressives disregard the Constitution and circumvent it every chance, we can't have a Convention of the States because it might get highjacked. Give me a fucking break
You can't highjack a Convention of the States. There are rules and procedures in place. It's not like some rogue delegate can turn around and vote against the wishes of the state. They can be revoked for that.
Right now there is nothing stopping the progs for calling one with enough states. This fucking knee jerk reaction to the mere mention of Article V is the reason we fucking vote like in 2014 and then wonder why the shitheads we send to Washington spit on us.
