Fundamental Concepts - Eff Off [Weirddave]

The idea behind Fundamental Concepts has always been that these posts would serve as a kind of political copybook heading, not a pithy saying, but something meant to convey basic American values and, well, fundamental concepts. These last few weeks for some reason have been politically very draining, and it's been harder and harder to think of subjects. We've seen instance after instance where the most egregious violations of American sovereignty and law have been trampled, times when our culture has been debased and our traditional values trampled. I know, it has ever been thus, but somehow it seems worse lately, and this week I figured out why:

Because nobody seems to care.

That's not true. I know that's not true, and so do you, but we're made to believe through the media that we're alone. We're not, and what it is time to do is push back, but we can't push back using our preferred methods. Most of us are here on the right because we value logic and reason over the raw emotionalism of the left. That means that we tend to want to construct long, detailed arguments to prove our points, and as a general rule in a fair debate we destroy the left on the merits of our argument. This reinforces our bias towards intellect over emotion, and we congratulate ourselves that we've proven our point. Now things will surely change!

Except they don't. Know why?

Nobody's listening.

Why is nobody listening? Well, first of all, our coldly logical arguments never get to them. The media cuts and edits and castigates to reinforce their relentlessly leftist point of view so that our arguments never get through. Secondly, many people don't care about well reasoned logical arguments. We live in an age of instant gratification. Like it or not, it's a Vine world out there. Finally, our side has been so demonized that many LIVs won't even bother to listen to what we're saying, dismissing us out of hand.

So what's the solution? The solution is “eff off”.

We have to stop granting the left, and especially the activist left, the SJW types, the courtesy of treating them as if they are legitimate. We need to tell them to eff off. We need to stop debating and start dismissing. Most of what they are saying is so stupid and flimsy that it NEEDS the prop of our treating it seriously to lend it the mantle of legitimacy.

Now obviously I'm not talking about treating serious policy or foreign affairs issues cavalierly. Of course adult subjects need to be treated in an adult manner. There is so much clutter and noise over stupid, inconsequential shit that we need to stop wasting our time responding to it. The entire point of most of this stuff is to keep us distracted and to maneuver us into a position where we can be cast as haters or villains.

What kind of stuff am I talking about? Well, basically, anything that The Political Hat links from social media.

“I'm a dragon-kin, I demand that you respect my draconic traditions!”

No, you're not. Eff off.

“Oh, your belly dancing is cultural appropriation !”

Eff off.

“That's your white privilege talking!”

Eff off, I have the same privilege as you do, I'm a free American.

“You're fat shaming!”

Eff off and eat a salad once in a while.

“I can't stand these micro aggression from you”

How about a macro aggression? Eff off.

And so on. All of this stuff stems from three impulses:

1) A desire to assume unearned moral superiority – I'm better than you
2) A desire to assume unearned prominence – I'm more important than you
3) A desire for attention – Look at me! Aren't I special?

That's what they're looking for. Don't give it to them. Don't play their game, refuse to acknowledge that their game even exists. I just realized it right this second, but this is exactly what Breitbart did, and it drove them NUTS! They're yapping on about the oppression of the 1% and he's screaming “STOP RAPING PEOPLE!” in their face. He popped their bubble. He refused to acquiesce to their assumptions. He pointed out the reality they were purposefully attempting to ignore. Imagine how Andrew would have handled the VA frat rape hoax or the reaction to Christina Hoff Sommers' speech.

Be Breitbart. And have fun with it. The meltdowns from the special snowflakes when you refuse to grant them what they assume is theirs by right of their magnificence are AWESOME.

ETA: I edited out the F word from this post. I didn't realize that using it in the headline can have a negative effect on how ad-bots rate AoSHQ. My apologies to Ace.

21 The left is pro-occupied with other issues. DO what I do and on occasion read Kos or TPM, and you'll see. They aren't at all interested in the decline of western civilization, the end of liberty and the enslavement of all sorts of people in victim politics.

They're very concerned with Jon Stewart arguing with Judith Miller, whom he blames for starting the Iraq war. They are in a complete dither over the prospective end to ZeroCare subsidies at SCOTUS, the unequal treatment of Baltimore thugs versus rich people drinking in public at a horse race, and other similarly inane things.

I spend a lot of time in Princeton, NJ, and I still see plenty of cars with Obama stickers. Talking to people in NYC and Philly, I still hear dumb statements about how great it is America can elect an African American as President. Superficiality rules the left. And broad swathes of America too.

22 You leave out one very important part of their pathology, that this will also help.

Our society, somewhere along the way, turned being weak, into a strength.

They use being pathetic into a weapon to bully the strong.... they really do not BELIEVE that anyone will stand up to them anymore... because ... MEAN!!!! I'm a victim you HAVE to be nice to me.

I stopped playing that game a few years ago. I will not suffer in silence because I am strong enough not to be a victim...

Fat is not handicapped. Being Female does not give you the right to BITCH at me about anything... being a child does not excuse rudeness or antisocial behavior. Being an immigrant does NOT mean you get head of the line privileges (learn our damn rules)...

So I speak my mind... and its amazing how quickly their behavior changes once someone actually DOES say something...

Most people spend about 5 minutes a week thinking about politics. That is how the SJWs and others of the left are able to get away with their bullshit. Most people are not paying attention.

By talking with LIVs, you are actually resist the efforts of the left, which is the default message of TV, newspapers and most of the culture. Don't stop. Planting a few seeds of doubt about the left wing narratives among otherwise uninterested voters is probably one of the most useful things you can do.

The people you need to tell to fuck off are the SJWs, the leftist drama queens and the people of the left who's minds are made up and will not be convinced. That is just a waste of your time and all it does is raise your blood pressure. Those people deserve to be ridiculed and humiliated.

26 Popular entertainment, especially TV, has made people irrational. In almost everything broadcast (even if it is "conservative", or supports some traditionally sound idea), has, at it's root, irrationality.

TV really came into popular being in the early '50's. Most adults at that time had the personalities and character already formed. I am old enough to remember life in the 50's and early 60's, and it was not as irrational as it is now. Sure some things are better, some things culturally have improved. But the overall culture is worse; people dress like slobs, act like slobs, ridiculous things are popular, etc, etc. Because people have been sold on "this is what everyone does" by imitating mass media, ie, TV and movies.
There are people who are fully formed adults that have no notion of life without the influence of mass media. It reinforces all this arcane madness that makes people assert all this idiotic nonsense that is outside of rational reality.
The country has gotten so wealthy, that people can indulge their madness and irrationality without it hampering their survival. Yet.

When or if that changes (and it could, soon), then things will change. Telling idiotic children in adult bodies to "fuck off" will likely just get you ostracized, although it may be satisfying. There's a lady at my work who is starting to grate on my nerves about stuff like this, and frankly, if I told her to eff -off, I would get fired.

OSP is right. Just cut out most of the nonsense people from your life. If you can.

28 There's a reason why rational conversation with mush-headed lefties is a complete waste of time.

The problem isn't that they're incapable of reason; the problem is that they're unwilling to reason.

Lefty superstitions come first with these people. Any utterance that might threaten those superstitions is simply evil.

29 Decorum is a powerful weapon the Left uses against its foes.

Several weeks ago, right after the decision to not charge the Officer who shot Michael Brown, Andrea Mitchell and Eugene Robinson were on TV yapping about it and Rich Lowry pointed out the lesson in all this was don't rob a convenience store and then attack a police officer and try to take his gun. Well, A and E would have none of that and blasted RL.

RL said jack in response.

That shit has to stop.

Strike back at them when they do that. Tell them they are full of shit and do it on TV.

This habit, this rule, this Holy Law, that you have to be polite and mild-mannered on TV and in public is a huge burdon on the Left's enemies.

31 I care and your posts are like conservative church to me.

And lately I have been thinking about the braying of the mob. Since before we were a nation the impulse, our best impulse, we to resist the braying of the mob to ensure individual liberties and rights were protected. Since John Adams defended the red coats

I don't know what happened in Baltimore in that van. I am not defending the police. But the braying mobs, after this is done, will not be sated and will turn their appetites elsewhere. Like a Salem town in the throws of a witch hunt or a German village in search "undesirables". Where will the appetite of the mob be directed next

We are entering dark dangerous times here at home

32 Somebody once remarked that the proper response to "Check your privilege" is "Check your entitlement". I like that.

But "Fuck off" is more pithy.

I really think that it is better to distinguish between people who don't pay much attention and the aggressive left wing assholes.

My normal reply to left wing inanity being repeated by somebody who heard it somewhere and is just repeating "received wisdom" is to say something on the line of "I don't think you are stupid enough to believe that".

Posted by: Obnoxious A-Hole at May 02, 2015 11:29 AM (KDbAT)

47 My favorite strategy is to ask them for specifics, actual facts that support their arguments. I'm talking about numbers, percentages, sources, etc. Don't do it aggressively, do it as if you're genuinely interested in what they're saying. 9 times out of 10 these people haven't considered the issue carefully enough to know any facts. They'll splutter for awhile, and all you have to do is stand there and smile indulgently. Eventually, they'll make up some BS but you both know they lost and look foolish. Even better is when there are others around to witness the humiliation.

This strategy is for professionals only. IOW, you DO have to some actual facts yourself.

75 Something I've noticed is that young people are so totally indoctrinated that they will never vote Republican. Ever. No matter how evil, corrupt, incompetent, stupid, radical, hypocritical, and bizarre a Democrat is, these twerps think that's still better than any Republican.

If you try to press them on logic or reason, they simply come back with memorized lines about being only for rich white people and laugh. Not only have they never been taught in logic and rhetoric, they consider it stupid. We're almost exactly where Mike Judge predicted where a doctor diagnoses the time traveler as "your shit's all fucked up and you talk like a fag."

That's as far as they go. The only ones with the capacity to think and speak rationally are some of the home schooled guys, and while they're going to be the frustrated, long-suffering bosses of the others, that doesn't help anyone in the country while these fools vote.

We're at the point where it takes too long just to get to the point you can begin to have a rational discussion with these fools that it simply isn't worth it. You can't start out with the facts, you have to push them mentally and intellectually to the point they admit that there even is such a thing as a fact, and that it matters.

That we got to this point so fast and so broadly is something I'm unable to even comprehend. Its like a wave of madness swept across our culture and has left a few people standing and trying to comprehend how to survive. Its a virtual zombie apocalypse, with a few tough people surrounded by shuffling mindless creatures that consume everything around them without producing, on the expectation that the rest of us will keep it up.

Everyone here semi-jokes about a collapse and the fall of civilization, but I'm totally convinced we're on the crumbling edge of that abyss, right now. And the end will come faster than anyone expects.

Everyone knows that if you cave into a whining child all you get is more frequent whining. But they all seem to want to do it, rapidly, with profuse apologies.

GoFundMe just canceled a fundraiser by the police union for defense funds for the 6 Baltimore cops. No explanation given, just "nope." Why? Because they didn't cancel pizza shop funds and got attacked by the whining left. Now they cave on anything, like YouTube pulling any video a leftist whines about. Protein World will too. You'll see an apology from them soon. Everyone says they love Chik-Fil-A, but the owner caved. They all do. And as long as they do, we all lose, everywhere.

142 The leftoid attacks on Sarah were to be expected and in fact welcomed...

Sure. And elite Republican attacks were hardly surprising. McCain was pressured into her as his VP because it would "balance the ticket" but what he never expected was for her to be such a very effective speaker and campaigner. That speech she gave at the RNC was one of the best I've ever heard in my entire life. She totally mopped the floor with Obama's fake columns and empty suit sophistry.

No, my problem was the press. They sent 10 times as many people to cover the VICE PRESIDENTIAL candidate as the president, and did it nonstop with a new attack every single day to destroy her at all costs. They went beyond bias and a personal interest in the race to total full-out deliberate and systematic libel, personal destruction, and conspiracy. It was unbelievable to watch.

But they had to. The day that Palin was added to the ticket, McCain's numbers started going up. He passed Obama in all polling info and they had to stop him and prevent Palin from being elected. By this point she'd have the experience and political savvy to run a very good campaign for president. That speech terrified the left. They pulled out all the stops.

And to this day, the right bought into it eventually. You get the same retarded crap pouring out of the mouths and keyboards of people who lean right as leftists because it was so effective.

Again, Palin's not my choice. I think she's mostly fluff, a Republican Obama with better policies. I think her conservatism is not innate, that its second nature. But she would have been amazingly effective as a politician for the right, if she hadn't been so perfectly obliterated.

I don't blame anyone who is at least a little embarrassed by Palin, she has come to more closely resemble the caricature they created of her, but it's the fact that she and her ilk (whatever that is... us, really) will not be allowed to have a say in what that Party does.

While this is true, what truly motivates the left is to seem like the good guy in the room. They want at all costs to avoid being perceived as racist, sexist, "homophobic," Islamophobic, etc, etc. They want to be the high road walker, the enlightened one. Strip that away and they freak out.

158 I'm going with just ignoring them (Not that I really del with a lot of leftists on politics anyway) or just throwing in a sentence here or there. I was out with some friends last week and one said "Oh, it's Earth Day" and I said "Oh, you mean the holiday where the main speaker at the first one was a guy who killed his girlfriend and stuffed her in a trunk?" Or when there going on about money in politics and the evil Koch brothers I said, "You do realize George Soros contributes heavily to Democrats, don't you?" The response to that was, "Well, that's good." So apparently, they weren't bothered by money in politics-just people who give to conservative causes or Republican candidates.

There was a flyer about an expose movie on the Koch brothers hanging up in a town I visited this week. I put two bright hello post it notes on t saying, "When will there be a expose on George Soros?" I try to have posts it notes and a pen readily available for such occasions.

McCain seemed to be doing everything he could to throw that election. You recall "You have nothing to fear with an Obama presidency", right? Has any candidate ever said anything like that about his opponent in all of history?

I don't have the link, but I remember reading a post at PJM a few years ago that postulated that McCain's pick of an unknown Alaskan governor for his running mate was designed to fail. But then she became an unexpected smash hit, much like the play in The Producers...

168 I don't blame homosexuals. I blame their leftist enablers. Homosexuals make up such a tiny portion of the population that their voice is necessarily small (albeit outsized because of their influence on entertainment - they have replaced Jews as the Ones Who Control Hollywood). But the left using homosexuals as leverage to demolish culture, family, religion, morality, and basic decency... they're the ones that are the problem.

Most homosexuals, I believe, want to be left the hell alone and keep to themselves. The rest move to San Francisco and put on ghastly parades of debauchery and corruption.

I asked why it was so popular, and was told it's because the story is so important. I said, no, it was popular because people like a freak show. They will tune in to see the freaks.

Mild arguments, followed by a quiet giving up on the point, because yeah, when you start to parse why it is the left's favorite topics are winning? The best argument really is "seriously, do you think this country gives a damn about your little cause?"

171 I'mma go ahead and re-post this post of mine from the GoFundMe Thread yesterday which is a variation on this theme:

[When asked by "what do you do in situations such as these]

"You have to play by the new rules that being laid down, even if it makes you queasy.

It's
like "South Park" - illustrate absurdity with absurdity.

Set up
organizations, even if its grass roots, to absolutely slam companies
like GoFundMe with similar complaints using that logic. All day, every day. Just this
side of illegal. Do it for each company that catches the eye of the SJW
and develops quaking knees. It's hard, and time consuming, but that's
why the mentally ill and unemployable win in this area - they are being
paid to do it, or have no lives to waste acting this way. They are NOT
the majority, but these companies think they are. So we, individually or
as groups, organized and funded or for free, have to do the same. And we
have to be willing to sacrifice to do it. Anything else is just hollow
banter on a blog.

It's basically Rules for Radicals - make the
left live up to its own rules, pit them against each other. Pit hard
core lesbian against transsexual man over who is a real woman; pit
blacks against Hispanics for title of favored Democrat minority to cater
to, pit... etc. etc.

The solution is not political - its
individual. Each day, every day. Some govt. ass sends your kid's lunch
Oreos home with a passive aggressive note about "health", make sure to
visit his office in the AM with your attorney. Make attending their school
board meetings a regular occurrence with all sorts of ways to kick up
dirt and start shit. Learn there rules (formal and informal) backwards and forwards so you know how to play them. Learn to derive pleasure from making their lives as
miserable as they makes yours. I'm not saying be stupid and violent -
I'm saying be smart about it. Victory is in the preparation.

I am now actively thinking of ways to do this and to implement it. I will chime in from time to time on how it works."

If that's the case that sounds like an awful thing to go through and i hope you get healing. The fact of the matter is there are conservative gays. You might try visiting "GayPatriot" site if you don;'t believe it. They're appalled by militant gays and they do speak up (and no, JRTR, I'm not gay but I like the commentary there on a number of issues.

And you can tell me to "f-off" as much as you like if you want to. :^) I don't know you. It's like water off my back, nor will I tell you to F-off because I rarely us that expression and I never feel good about it after I do.

And that is one of the things that I like about the idea of giving away government land in 40 acre parcels as slavery reparations. The main benefit that I see from such a program would be to transfer millions of acres of land away from government control and into the private sector but there are so many wonderful conflicts between core Democrat constituencies that would arise from it that would make it worthwhile for that alone.

For one thing the 40 acres should go to black families with a family defined as one man and one woman, legally married and their children. The real fun would come when environmentalists try to block drilling, fracking and mining on the land.

191 Eff off is a good strategy, but it's certainly not a new one. Go read Atlas Shrugged again.

Ayn Rand called this "Sanction of the victim." The Left requires our cooperation and patience for legitimacy. They mock us, abuse us, call us sexist racist rapers, but then take our taxdollars and piss it away while insisting we be grateful and civil toward them and play by their rules.

No. We should treat their evil behavior as it deserves: acknowledge it as illegitimate and immoral. Tell them to eff off, that they have no right to do what they're doing. Then they lose their power.

This is what the GOP should be doing to Obama now they they control Congress. They should be mocking his tantrums and refusing to play his game, so that he is powerless to act unilaterally. Instead they work with him to expand the federal government and we get failure theater.

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, Sven Maybe I used the wrong terminology, i.e. MOBY. I think from abroad is either a person pretending to be a conservative (which, BTW is what other suggested) or perhaps a person who has been dumped by someone who came out of the closet. The comment about james edwards was not to say "James Edwards" IS from aboard but the vitriol sounds similar from opposite bends iof the spectrum. I hope I have clarified that now.

"Premature Death" among black people because of
"persistent black-white mortality disparities" reduces the potential pool of voters enough to change election results.

Curiously, the word 'abortion' does not appear in this scholarly article. Somehow, it is implied by the author, black people don't get equal medical treatment and if they did have the same mortality rate as white people, the election results would be different.

What Sven is in part referring to is the fact that early this morning I posted a little story about the Pope calling a sick man who had written to him (Apparently he does this with some people who write him; He reaches out) and the man hung up on him twice because he thought it was prank. The they spoke Sven apparently thinks it's never o.k. to share a nice story about the Pope because he sounds s leftist in a number of ways. So that's what the "Kitty app" is about.

You don't have to live there and farm it to derive economic benefit from your 40 acres. For example, the people lucky enough to get 40 acres in ANWR can lease the right to drill for oil. In fact, everybody can lease that right if somebody thinks that there are worthwhile minerals on the land. There is lots of federal land that is leased for grazing to ranchers. The new owners can probably work out a similar deal. There is lots of government forest land. The new owners can lease out rights to cut timber on the land or they can borrow against the timber or they can sell the land outright. It is private property.

I used to think the way you do - I don't anymore. Reality taught me otherwise.

Your position is akin to the "moderate Muslim" argument - "moderates" cluck their tongues at the "extremists", but I don't see the moderates stopping the extremists or even loudly speaking out against them. Ergo, what does "moderate" mean, in context?

Example - if homosexuality is innate and can't be taught, why don't gays that believe that absolutely storm the gays that want to raise their children gay? I mean, no holds-barred "that shiat stops" response? Because the extremists are gaining "rights" and protections" that the moderates will also benefit from. And the moderates don't have the personal ethics or morality to put a stop to that, to oppose their own interests. Or the moderates secretly think the same way, but don't want to publicly admit it, or take the extreme measures the extremists do.

So yes, when a bunch of violent, line-stepping kooks are arguing fascism in defense of "your cause" and in "your" name, you don't get points from me by quietly sitting on the sidelines watching it happen, or rubbing your own hands lamenting how "victimized" you are by others' opposition to it.

Well, sure. The thing is that the goal is not to make black people happy. There will always be people complaining about something. Give out the 40 acre sections in a lottery. Make sure to include ANWR and the Staircase/Escalante reserve with the low sulfur coal that Clinton locked up for a bribe from some Indonesian billionaire.

Sure, there will be plenty of folks who get land that is not worth much. There will also be plenty who get 40 acres that has enough minerals to make the owners rich but who will not be able to use those minerals because government environmentalists will not let them. I know what story the mainstream media is going to push but I can also figure out what narrative is likely to move through the black communities. Both of them will probably blame Republicans.

253 Boy, you show up late, there's so much to deal with.

Re the 40 acre plan: It's brilliant, but it won't work. Look, lots of people thought electing the first black (ish) President would end the bitching about affirmative action and lack of equal opportunity forever. How did that work out? No, they would complain about their 40 acres, not know what the hell to do with it, eventually realize that mules can't reproduce, and we'd all be right back where we started. But if we were to allocate the 40 acres, forget a lottery, let's do an Oklahoma land rush: give them a map of the open areas and let them go stake 40 acres out for themselves, if they have the gumption.

Re being on the precipice: Christopher Taylor, you're on fire. I'll deal with that in a later post.

Re it's all about the gheys: No question they are being used as a wedge issue by people with a broader agenda. That doesn't mean it's normal for a man to stick his thing in another man's butt, and that we should treat it as normal (or just not talk about it).

259 Re being on the precipice:

The laws of economics cannot be repealed. We will eventually get to a point -- and it may happen soon -- where the ability of the government to give free stuff to people outpaces the ability to obligate future generations to pay for it. When that starts to get cut back, by actual cuts or by failure for benefits to keep pace with inflation, there will be discontent. The inner cities will be the first to go. We may be seeing the beginnings of that in Baltimore, Oakland, etc. This will be a summer of riots. There will be at least one big, bad one. It's hard to predict where, but it will happen. (And by the way, the Social Security disability fund runs out of money within months, so those benefits will have to be cut, too. I know it's a legal fiction -- all government funds are fungible -- but that will be a crisis this fall).

When the Supreme Court rules that gheys can get married in June, which they will do because they will also rule that Obamacare subsidies are illegal in states that do not accept Medicare expansion and will not accept the appeal of the ruling against the DAPA program, the next step will be polygamy. This summer, a Muslim American citizen man will file a lawsuit to have his second marriage, which was lawfully made overseas to a Muslim American citizen woman, recognized by the state, probably in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. And multiple marriage will be with us before you know it.

Internationally, the Iran thing will continue to spiral out of control. There will not be a deal, because Iran knows that they can get the other players to end sanctions and blame the US Senate for the deal's collapse, with Russian and Obama Administration support, while Iran continues work on the bomb. The wars in the Middle East will heat up, and we will be increasingly drawn into a confusing series of half-assed engagements that Marie Harf cannot explain.

Bottom line: Next year, things are going to look worse than this year.

Reason for optimism: We are still a great country, and real Americans can rise up and overcome the leftists at the ballot box and in our churches and communities, aided by reality that cannot be ignored.

260 "This is the only thing you talk about, fromabroad except you mentioned socialized medicine once."

I have a job and I have a life. I do not spend 24/7 on this blog. I do not care about other topics because they do not affect me (being from abroad I am not affected by illegal immigrants to the USA). Obamacare does not affect me and I have lived in 4 different EU countries with socialized healthcare so I can correct some statements about what I know.

The fags however, are following the same pattern all over the world and so far USA had to succumb because only USA have "accommodation laws", however the propaganda pattern is the same everywhere, the gender identity classes have been attempted everywhere, even in countries where you cannot homeschool.

Why do you find strange that I am selective in the topics I reply to? I hate the hypocrisy of most people that one hand they think big anus is going too far but at the same time they are in favour of all the pre-requisite factors that lead to this disaster.

I bet in the 40s there were some Europeans that thought well of German people and that "if only the majority of honest germans had known, they would have stepped in bla bla".

No, the "good germans" did nothing. As the "good gheys" are doing nothing.

If this is an acceptable attitude for you...

No, they DO have rules, they just don't have them for very long. Learn them and twist them. Organizations DO have rules and guidelines, and they can't endure when external inconsistent mores are pushed on them moment by moment.

Use them while they are operational, why they are "trendy".

263 Ace did a sublime piece a few years ago on preference cascades. I never forgot how right he was about that, and concerning pluralities and the power they have to change everything. I think it must be said there is profound legitimacy in a moral plurality, and an armed one has gusto like Donkey Kong.
I think your right to about the efforts to isolate people, and divide them, age old tyrants strategy right there.
But we aint alone, there are millions of us, but we haven't figured it out yet in a way that matters. We don't even know we don't know we are a plurality.
And that is what needs to change before anything.
It is how you win.

The sonsofabitches running things are going to do whatever they want until we learn We can do whatever we want.
Then they can't do anything, because the little itsy bitsy tiny shred of legitimacy they posses goes up in a wisp of smoke, like a fart in a hurricane. All they have is threat of force and use of violence then. No more consent, tacit or otherwise, people will just refuse to comply, and the bastards will either collapse, or start shooting us.
Either way they loose and loose big time.
We win.

264 This below is a "Because Fuck You", a splendid masterpiece of reason and insights into the coming festivities and class structure in the FUSA.
But it is still a fuck you that defines quite a bit. Guarantee it:

265 Been doing the Eff Off thing for some time now. I don't use those exact words, but the message is the same: When it comes to climate change, marriage equality or the illegal war in Iraq, I will not discuss it. I will not do the other person the courtesy of the slightest conversational engagement. I change the subject.

My exact words: "How about those Yankees?"

Then I ask, "How are they doing? What place are they in? I don't follow baseball, so I don't know. Are the Yankees doing well?"

(Could be the middle of the World Series, could be the middle of January - the point is clear - I'm changing the subject right now. And it is a bit fun to do.)

266 This is where the work of Anonymous Conservative has been so illuminating. It comes down to a primal biological response to resource availability. The leftist is psychologically dependent on abundant resources and does not develop a sense of personal competence.

Thus they are sensitive to anything that appears to be an indication of scarcity, or that the herd is beginning to reject them. They need to place themselves at the center of the herd which means preemptively placing you on the fringe first, so when the barbarians come, you are the human shield.

To the dependent and incompetent, resource scarcity calls for a simple calculus of population culling (rather than massively parallel personal ingenuity), so they are always on the lookout for a chance to betray their neighbors while maintaining plausible deniability.

269 While I like the "Eff Off" idea, what I'd really like to see is TFG and family members receiving the Mussolini-Petacchi treatment. That would send EXACTLY the message the left needs to hear.

I don't think our Calvo Sotelo moment is very far off now.
