Cat's Paw [Weirddave]

In the wake of the SCOTUS decision WRT gay “marriage”, I had a thought. I wondered if the decision was destined to be a gain in the long term for gay folks, or a negative. Thinking it over I came to the conclusion that if the forces that got us to this point are successful, ultimately it'll be a moot decision.

The term “Cat's Paw” entered the English language from a 16th century French Fable, The Monkey and the Cat. A monkey and a cat are sitting before a fireplace, staring longingly at delicious chestnuts roasting in the embers. The monkey convinces the cat to dig the chestnuts out of the fire, promising to share the bounty. The cat does so, but as each chestnut is batted out onto the hearth, the monkey gobbles it up, promising the next one to the cat. Suddenly the maid shoos them both away, leaving the monkey satisfied, his hunger sated, while the cat is left with nothing but burnt paws for his troubles. A “Cat's Paw” then is something or someone used for another's advantage and then discarded once an objective has been achieved.

This push for “marriage equality” that we've seen lately has nothing to do with “fairness” or “equality”, and it most certainly is not a response to “oppression”. All of this has been just another arrow in the vast quiver of the totalitarian left aimed at destroying the existing social fabric. You think the Communists, Socialists and Progressives give a rat's ass about the “dignity” of a gay couple? In a pig's eye. All they are concerned with is the destruction of the existing order so it can be replaced with their imaginary Utopia.

If the current social order and American culture collapses, one of two movements will fill the vacuum where it once stood, and neither of these movements will likely be friendly to homosexuals. Either the leftists will get their totalitarian state, which will (going by past history) immediately liquidate all of the gay folks they can find in the name of public decency or fighting perversion or some other rot (they always have, can anyone name one totalitarian regime that has NOT clamped down on homosexuality); or the Islamists will come to hold sway. If Radical Islam gains power, gay folks will have bigger things to worry about than same sex marriage. Someone wanting a same sex marriage will find the Imams very willing to hold a ceremony....on a rooftop. The bad news is that the trip to the reception is a short one and it ends abruptly.

Given all that, I think the benefits of last week's ruling for gay people will be transient at best, unless we can right the ship of state and reinvigorate American Culture as a source of pride. Hell, if we can accomplish that, gay marriage is a price I'll gladly pay!

Open thread until the ONT rolls around.

16 Progressives, socialists, Democrats, Communists, or whatever you want to call them no more give a rat's ass about homosexuals than they do the environment, or women's issues, or minorities, or Muslims, or the "poor," or indeed anything else. They are all solely vehicles for agitation among the dumb asses.

17 One unintended consequence may be the loss of benefits for same sex couples from employers.

Large companies accommodated gay couples by allowing employees to put a partner on a policy even though they were not married. It was a nice accommodation for those who could not tie the knot.

But now that they can...... Well, how soon before companies only allow you to add a Legally married spouse to a policy?

Perhaps we will see the end of "Domestic Partner" benefits.

Some couples may be forced to marry even though they don't want to.

They had it pretty good.

Just because prior versions of totalitarianism ended up attempting to liquidate homosexuals, that does not mean that Fascism, American style, will be the same way.

The endgame for the left is when they have splintered everyone into competing victim groups and the victim groups have nowhere left to turn but against each other. (The other endgame is fiscal collapse as we find ourselves in a position where we can no longer pay for the left's social redistributions).

then again, if Science creates the posthuman, maybe we will rapidly not really need reproduction, which means marriage (which exists to raise human children, really) won't be needed, either?

Women should be worried tho. We're not actually all that useful without the procreation part, being completely honest here.

I would think that companies that do not change their policy on that and fast will be ripe for sex discrimination lawsuits. The domestic partnership stuff was proffered as makeup for the fact that same sex couples could not marry.

But now they can. So if a company is offering the benefit to same sex unmarrieds only, they are discriminating against heterosexuals.

And I am pretty sure there are heterosexuals who have lawyers, too.

40 I was actually thinking along these same lines today.



This is a very transitory victory for the gays considering how socialism has left the entire Western world teetering on 'bankruptcy' (or whatever happens) and how much of the Western world has a large barbaric parasite class whose goodies are about to be taken away.



I thought of their gay marriage victory as a football caught high in the air by the gay football player who suddenly finds the earth opened up beneath him leaving him no time to enjoy his 'victory.'

49 Well I don't think I would go THAT far. Mostly because I think it gives them too much credit. Most of them are too stupid to see the implications of what they support, even the easily predictable short-term implications. Remember that this is the crowd that gets their news from Jon Stewart, and who thinks that Rachel Maddow is an "objective journalist" (yes one of them actually said that to me). They are narrow-sighted and support what "feels right" to them. So I fully expect them to start forcing Christian churches to perform gay weddings, but it won't be out of some revolutionary spirit to undermine Western civilization, it will be because "the hetero couples get to use a pretty church for their wedding but the gay couple has to settle for a cheap ceremony at the county clerk's office, that just doesn't FEEL right to me"

Gay is a perversion only because hetero sex is needed for any species to survive IMO. But it has always been part of humankind and when we are fruitful enough in general it is no skin off my nose.

Now the current push by the *tree huggers* oof I need a better term.; to severely limit human reproduction by doing their best to convince impressionable young minds that it is more cool to be gay or trans or what have you - that is a real and dangerous perversion to me.

There have been freakouts about "homophobic attacks" on large public gay events in SF for as long as I can remember.

83 Here is just one example. I just had a discussion with them on another forum about taxing the churches. They are fully on board with taxing the churches, because they think the megachurches and the TV preachers are up to no good, and ought to either be punished via taxation, or taxed like businesses for that reason. It was obvious that they hadn't given a moment's thought to why churches have had tax exemptions throughout the centuries, that those times when the civil authority tried to tax the churches, it wasn't out of some altruistic desire to treat them fairly but instead was used as a tool to suppress the free exercise of religion, that churches really do engage in charitable work and for that reason alone they deserve tax exemption. They weren't having a word of it, and because they have never examined their own biases or even thought critically about an issue, they just assume they're right and everyone else is wrong. It is depressing.

88 If gay is also genetic and people are 'born that way', keep in mind with the advances in technology, scientists may find the gene(s) that cause homosexuality, preferably under the pretext of trying to identify transgenders in the womb.


At that point, how many societies would implement genetic testing in the womb and either abort or 'fix' the children?

92 Catspaw, or just pawns?

In chess, pawns can be sacrificed to get strategic position on the board for checkmate.

Our culture, whether it be the traditional or the more vulgar "popular" culture has a structure. The pop culture is transient, and what was in style a few years ago, will be passe' in 5 years.

Part of the pop culture of the 60's was the angry black militant, the Black Panthers, etc. One of the prime examples of this was Eldridge Cleaver, who wrote "Soul on Ice". I actually read part of this book (he was a pretty violent and disturbed guy). Cleaver went into self-imposed exile outside of the US, and spent a lot of time in the Leftist totalitarian states, and began to change his mind about a lot of things. When he returned to the US, he began to repent of his earlier madness (mainly, he was older and was tired of running). Before he died, he really came to regret a lot of what he did and wrote.

So whatever you may think of the protagonists of modern pop vulgar culture today, some of these morons may change in the years to come. You can't count on it, but nothing is written in stone.

The thing to watch in the next five years is the penetration of militant Islam into the Inner Cities, which are ripe for angry revolution against the White Man. This will also be fed by the arrival of the Mexican immigrant (largely mystical Catholics) competing with the young African American for the entry level jobs

126 Something else, more immediate.

Day after the decision, the cockholsters at the NYTimes had a piece on "regrets" within the gay community about getting this "equality", i.e., loss of specialness. It had gays complaining about bachelorette parties at their strip clubs and basically that they have largely been accepted and their once near exclusive communities and watering (and other things) holes overrun by breeders. Like the fraudulent #BlackLiesMatter and the race card, the gay movement's next whine will be falling on increasingly deaf and unsympathetic ears. Sure, they'll seek more but "marriage" has been their bitch for years and the lofos will say "you got it shut up already", I think.

Also, by reason of the specialness they have felt in their own little worlds within, anybody have any reliable numbers on the percentage of gays <i>against</i> gay marriage? I heard in passing a large number. If so, then they too have been victims, in a way, of the lefty asshole motherfuckers tearing this country down.

Because they fundamentally don't support the free exercise clause of the First Amendment. They think that there are "legitimate" religions and "illegitimate" religions (i.e. megachurches and televangelists) and that the government should be deciding questions of religious orthodoxy of what is a legitimate or illegitimate church. But they don't even see it that way. If you ask them if they support religious liberty, they would say yes. If you ask them if they support taxing the churches, they would say yes. And they wouldn't be lying in either case because they wouldn't know there was a contradiction.

Most of the Western world is paying 40%+ of their income for a ruling class, media and educational system that despise them. How many would be broken up, really dying inside, if islamists came in and started targeting those groups first?

155 >>>>Large companies accommodated gay couples by allowing employees to put a partner on a policy even though they were not married. It was a nice accommodation for those who could not tie the knot.

But now that they can...... Well, how soon before companies only allow you to add a Legally married spouse to a policy?

When that happens homosexuals will fight tooth and nail to prevent it. Because this was never about equal rights/equality under the law. Their demand that they don't need to be married to keep those benefits for a partner will be further proof of this fact.

Too late.

Aside from the fact that the leadership in the military is being turned into social justice warriors, it would be impossible to to what Pinochet did.

What Pinochet did was not just take out Allende, but went after all of the people that made Allende possible... thousands of them.

Today in America, the military would need to frag their leadership, take out not only all three branches of government, but also of many of the state and local governments, the news media, hollywood, almost all college administrators, half of all Professors, the leaders of most Tech companies, and probably anyone with a degree involving the word "studies". We're talking mass murder that would make Mao Zedong go "Holy S**t".

First of all, gay marriage, that'll *never* happen in my lifetime, hah, hah....

I can't quite shake the thought. Oh, and JHC His own Self said that when you see that AoD, head for the hills. Don't go back, don't look back, head for the hills, because if His Pop had not shortened the days, no man would survive.

Number two -- Pinochet took out the people who made Allende possible....thousands of them. How was it only thousands in a country of several million? Because they didn't take every Ethnic Grievance Studies major out -- they took the university administrator out and the replacement defunded the department. As large as the US is, I have no doubt that fewer than 10,000 people would be more than adequate....or every shitty little rabble-rouser wouldn't be on the White House guest list.

To be fair to the Greeks, as kleptocratic as they are, a large part of the problem is the structure of the European Union and its unitary monetary policy that is controlled by the Germans very much to the detriment of smaller countries with weaker economies like Greece and, to a lesser extent, Ireland. The Germans have a relatively strong economy and are terrified of inflation (rightfully so given their history) and use their influence to make sure Euro monetary policy controls inflation FOR THEM without regard for what it does to weaker economies. The European Union was an ill conceived monetary move that quickly turned into an attempt at "one world" government which is failing because it must.

258 "Okay someone please explain the coming economic crash regarding Greece and the Euro to me. I am confused."

You buy a government bond, so it owes you money.
You borrow money to buy another bond using the first as collateral on your loan.
Repeat 8 times.
Now, for the price of one bond, you owe nine times that much and have ten bonds. You do this because instead of getting 3% (for example) annual return on your money, now you get 30%. Which is great, and why wouldn't you do this?
Particularly when you are required by law to presume the bonds have no chance of default. You cannot possibly lose.

Except laws can't change the inevitable default of a government that runs on borrowed money. So when it happens, instead of doubling your money every three years or so, you're now broke, and because your collateral is worthless, whoever you borrowed from is also out 9 times the original value of the bond.

Now replace 'you' with 'Every bank in Europe and quite a few in America', give some thought to where the money 'you' borrowed must have come from, and replace 'a bond' with 'billions and billions of dollars/euros worth of government debt'.

can anyone please explain to me why my peers - 40ish rich white housefraus - are so very invested in Gay Marriage?


Many women tend to see gay men as girlfriends with dicks. I've noticed that many women seem to feel especially flattered when a gay man compliments them on their taste in clothes, furnishings etc. Because "everyone" knows all gay men have great taste, a compliment from one means more than a vague, "hmmm, that's nice dear" from a straight guy. (I have known gay men with terrible taste, but I have to admit they were the exception not the rule).

What women do not like to dwell on is their gay friends' sex lives. I remember a friend of mine once got very indignant when I mentioned that our gay hairdresser probably had had sex with hundreds of guys. "How do you know that," she said. Well, I had overheard him make sly quips about good cruising sports in DC with gay male customers. "I don't think so," she said. "He's been living with his boyfriend for years now." "So what?" I said.

Thinking about male gay promiscuity makes a lot of women very uncomfortable because it's a reminder that they aren't chicks with dicks. They're guys who are frequently obsessed with screwing as many other guys as possible, because they don't have to deal with women saying no to them like straight men do.

Women also tend to gloss over the fact that many (not all by any means) gay men really feel a strong disgust and contempt for women. I once had a gay boss who occasionally let the mask slip: he really didn't like women.

There is no argument against plural marriages that has not been used against, and dismissed, gay marriage. All that is left is an irrational animus against any number other than two.

As for incest, the only argument against it is that is may produce genetically messed up kids. However, there is no law against purposefully having a kid with a disability. Also, revolting feelings towards incest are not genetically based (Westermarck effect), and there is evidence that incestuous desires may be genetic in nature (Genetic sexual attraction). Also siblings are statistically less likely to have children with disabilities than an older woman... and we don't ban older women from having kids. All that is left is the irrational animus of cultural bigotry.

As for pedophilia? They'll go after ephebophiles and hebephiles first. After all, if a 12 year old can choose to have an abortion because it's "her body her choice" yet she is not capable of consenting to get pregnant in the first place. Between the two, which do you think the Left will yield on?

Okay someone please explain the coming economic crash regarding Greece and the Euro to me. I am confused.

Posted by: jmel at June 28, 2015 10:06 PM (cfFqn)



Under American accounting rules, you can't just give someone a thing for a promise and call it a "sale" -- it has to be Collectible [you have to have reasons to believe you'll really see the money], it has to be Delivered [you can't sell someone unicorn farts], there has to be Evidence of the arrangement [no "he said, she said" not-written-down stuff] and the amount we're talking about has to be Fixed and determinable [it can be $100 or 0.100 ounces of 24-carat gold, but it can't be a number taken from a dartboard or roulette wheel].



There are similar rules for debts. If you want to reflect debt as an asset, there has to be some reasonably forseeable way for the debtor to pay you.




During "The Financial Crisis of 2008", it was recognized that many banks had been counting stuff as assets that really wasn't -- things like car loans to drug dealers or 2nd mortgages to people who were underwater on their house. Further, they weren't completely stupid -- they immediately took tons of that toxic shit, packaged it up to look like an investment-grade bond, and sold it to some greater fool. As a condition of sale, however, they had to put some skin in the game with a guarantee.




So, now the original drug-dealers were officially on the hook to the bank on behalf of the pigeons for $100, which the banks balanced out by their assignment agreement to the pigeons to pay over whatever the drug-dealers gave 'em, and the banks who handled all the paperwork were unofficially maybe on the hook to the pigeons for $20.




In response to this, the government commanded that normal accounting rules be suspended and that banks could count that disaster-on-a-stick as good, while the Federal Reserve held interest rates to banks at diddly-dipshit, to see whether they could actually get enough money out of the drug-dealers that the banks wouldn't go bankrupt and be liquidated. Not coincidentally, I haven't been working in accounting of late.



The same farce has been going on in Europe. Greece has been a deadbeat since WWII but wanted to join the EU. The EU winked at fraud and allowed 'em in the door, just like the US bankers winked at the financial security of dealing meth to loan the guy $100,000 for a Porsche. It was clear to everyone on the planet that Greece was a deadbeat and its bonds were as valuable as used Charmin from Day 1 -- but in order to avoid responsibility for letting them in in the first place, the EU has spun and spun and tried to pretend it wasn't charity to send them money.




And now the time has come that someone's going to eat the $300B of bad paper. The banks want Greeks to eat it. The Europeans want Greeks to eat it or the IMF. The IMF has said, "no thanks."



The essential plea that the Greeks have been using most recently is, "if I pay you $3 back, will you loan me another $5?" Their total debt has over doubled since they've started playing that particular game -- and why should they have stopped, being as everybody has known going into this game that someone's going to get stiffed?

Many women tend to see gay men as girlfriends with dicks. I've noticed that many women seem to feel especially flattered when a gay man compliments them on their taste in clothes, furnishings etc. Because "everyone" knows all gay men have great taste, a compliment from one means more than a vague, "hmmm, that's nice dear" from a straight guy. (I have known gay men with terrible taste, but I have to admit they were the exception not the rule).
Posted by: Donna &&&&&& V. (brandishing ampersands) at June 28, 2015 10:28 PM (+XMAD)

This, exactly.
Many women in their 40's have a contempt for men that runs deep. Regardless of whether they have had their own career, they resent the fact that they got married, had kids, take care of the husband, house, etc. hold down a job...All because they believe men simply think with their dicks and are barely one step out of the cave. And those same men look at other women, and sometimes step out with other women, etc.

So with this attitude, overwhelmingly supported by modern culture, TV, women's magazines, TMZ, social media, and the bitchfests that go on with some women when they get together with their girlfriends, they find a gay man represents none of those things. He is truly a better man.

Which is why they are so upset when you point out that gay men are capable of doing the same awful things straight men do.
They just do it with better clothes and in nicer bedrooms.

330 >can anyone please explain to me why my peers - 40ish rich white housefraus - are so very invested in Gay Marriage

I believe they like interacting with a male who is generally not terribly masculine, and certainly not interested in them sexually. It's a man who acts like a woman--how cool is that?! Gay marriage is the whole "princess for a day" that most weddings are, and they can share that with the male in this case. There was some joke I saw a week or two ago about women feeling left out about being unable to find a "gay best friend" because all the girls have one,

But in the long run, marriage has been catastrophically destroyed by heteros. No-fault "frivorce" did so much damage to the institution of marriage that there wasn't much left to save. As someone who had divorce forced on him, I have first-hand experience.

The real loser here is Christianity in the US. Church attendance has been falling for a long time. Many of us, myself included, will not participate in a church that performs gay weddings. But very soon, the Feds will take a test case that will quickly reach SCOTUS, and will *force* churches to perform gay weddings. If church attendance (at least Protestant) hasn't fallen, oh, 30-50% in 5 years, I will be surprised.

And nature abhors a vacuum. I drove through the city today, and veiled and burkha-wearing women seemed to be everywhere. And seeing them in stores and such, I can tell you that most are American-born. They chose Islam over Christianity. As Weirddave said, things could get really nasty, very soon, for gay people. I wish no violence to any gay person. But if they thought "intolerant" Christians were bad, wait until they meet folks happy to stone them to death, chop them to chum, or drop them off rooftops.

This country has never seen serious violence backed by politics. Even during the height of the '60s when there were marches and bombings the bombs were small and usually not reported and the authorities won virtually every gunfight.
If there were armed civil conflict of any sort from the Right of the current communist collective I think most passive supporters would watch on the internet and TV, hide their own guns and go along with the resulting martial law.

The straight fascination and unquestioning support of the gay agenda has everything to do with constantly wanting a nummy in their mouth. They want to feel good, consider themselves nice, cool, hip.

The next election will decide the country's fate. It may take a decade to see it, but it will. No, it isn't here quite yet, but now...two years tops before the door finally closes.
Praying might be a good thing to take up -- we are most definitely all in foxholes now.

364 At the end of the day a useful idiot is still an idiot. The ivory tower, parlor pink radicals who are behind all of this don't seem to realize that if the "new order" that they are trying for had happened in the Soviet era, there would have been no place for them at the top. The country would have been run by commissars from Moscow. Now, there are no commissars so they will try to run things themselves even though they are completely unfit to do so. We'll just have to hope and pray they fail before they do too much damage.
