The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition
When Rick Perry spoke of his desire to make the Federal government a much less important part of Americans' lives, this is exactly the stuff he was thinking about. The French government chose to degrade the quality of life of its average citizens to such an extent that the apolitical...the quiet and politically disinterested...were moved to demonstrate and march and riot to be be heard. Crushing the working class with onerous, politically-driven taxes is just the tip of the iceberg in France. That the people have risen to protest is a testament to their lack of choice, and even worse, their despair. Professional protesters chanting their canned pap is one thing, but when the people -- the real people -- feel strongly enough about something to uproot themselves and act, then we all must pay attention. Riots in Paris: The police underestimated the madness of the crowd.
They couldn’t have seemed less disposed to violence, nor more apolitical. They were respectful of the police, and vice-versa. As cops drove by, relaxed, the Gilets Jaunes smiled at them, like kids excited about their first trip to the big city, waved at the officers, and gave them the thumbs-up. The cops reciprocated. The sentiment was fraternal. “We’re all weary, overtaxed working men,” they were saying to each other. “We’re on the same side.” I concluded they were just what they were advertised to be: family men and women who couldn’t make ends meet and who were tired of Macron’s attitude. Why this protest, why now, I asked? The fuel tax was just the straw that broke the camel’s back, they said; it made the difference between “able to make ends meet, barely,” and “not able to make ends meet.” It had just been getting steadily worse every year since the economic crisis began. They had run out of hope.France is a strange place, with strange political traditions, some of which are quite passive and conciliatory (Vichy anyone?), and some of which are quite violent (Jacobins anyone?). I am trying to draw parallels with the United States, and while some of the feelings are similar, we simply don't have enough in common for any significant similarities. That is not to say we can't respond to government intrusion...I just don't think we would do it the way the French are acting. I wonder how America would respond if a Democrat administration crushed the middle and working class with similar taxes? Would we riot? No, I think not, but we would punish them at the polls. So what is the proverbial American straw?
This is a long-overdue reaction to a particularly stupid and infantile and embarrassing chapter in the infantilization of America.
Delta: On long flights, leave your support animal at home
If you're planning a flight longer than eight hours, Delta Air Lines says you can't bring an emotional-support animal with you. The rules for pups are getting tighter too. Neither support animals nor trained service animals will be allowed on any Delta flights if they are under 4 months old.Fine with me. If this puts a crimp into the insane behavior of the emotionally stunted lunatics who cower in fear of....everything....then so be it. I don't want them on my flight, and if I had my druthers they wouldn't be allowed out of the house until they could prove they were able to function in polite society without drawing attention to themselves with their histrionics.

I have said it before - when people with something to lose riot and rebel you have a real problem on your hands.

Macron being noticeably absent does not bode well for his political future. Not getting out in front of the people to acknowledge their gripes and instead do a video tape of your message shows he could very well learn a hard lesson much like Marie Antoinette did.

Political apathy is a blessing from God because it means you live in a place where you don't have to pay too much attention to what the government is planning to do to you next.

Oh man, I agree. If a person is too emotionally feeble to fly on an airplane with their "comfort" boa constrictor or turkey or goat or whatever, then they should stay the f*ck at home.
It's pathetic that this idiocy has been allowed to get so out of control.

I honestly have no idea.
House-to-house confiscation of firearms? Perhaps. But I think the powers that be have gamed that out enough to know it could never work; I think they are now solidly on the side of "we'll just crush those deplorables with regulations that limit their ability to buy a gun or even ammunition and wait for them all to die off."
Sadly, I don't think there is a "last straw" for Americans. The ones who would revolt are slaves to debt and can't afford to take to the streets, and the rest of America is either begging the government to exterminate us or too busy fapping to care.

A certain demographic close to a Tea Party rally, but without women.
If American women are going to forever tip the scales into the socialist camp I suspect there are going to be some hard-working men who might rise up in righteous anger and indignation before that.

The progressives all brag about how things have to change, and they will changes things, but when the progressives changes things, everything gets worse. That would be a 'last straw'.

In the UK, over 50% of home robberies happen when a resident is at home. In the US, the rate is in the 20% range.
The reason is pretty self-explanatory.

Don't know who first used the phrase "the thin veneer of civilization," but a wise man once told me that in America, it is only our prosperity -- sitting as we do on a huge chunk of a continent splendiferously rich in resources -- that keeps us from falling into the natural human default mode of barbarianism.
So if you take away that prosperity, what happens?
If Democrats get their way, we'll bloody well find out.

Repeated from the Art Thread and to be reposted periodically today.
The Official AoSHQ Classical Music Playlist (TM) has been revised and extended:
http://soyaraborzoi.com/Playlist.htm (link also in nic)
It now comprises 1200 works by 500 different composers, from Renaissance to contemporary and genres from orchestral to vocal to choral to instrumental to concertos to chamber.
It includes almost not only all of the old familiar warhorses but also many unfamiliar and, perhaps, delightful discoveries. On the whole, the pieces are 25 minutes or less, but some few longer works were added (Beethoven's 5th and 7th symphonies, Mozart's 40th and 41st, the Schumann piano concerto, the Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings, the Hanson Romantic symphony). Some minor rearranging was done and some solecisms removed.
I'm not a musician and not even particularly musical, but I've been a listener for nearly 50 years. I gave it up for Lent last year and it was the hardest six weeks I've ever spent. At a time we're surrounded and besieged by so much lunacy, it's comforting and educational to turn to some of the highest accomplishments of Western civilization, however much they're disparaged by the idiots as the product of dead white males.
So, again, I'd like to make this available to the Horde. Just send me an e-mail at monsalvat 61 at g mail dot com (remove spaces and add symbols) and I'll mail you a flash drive with these files, suitable for playing on your computer or in your car (which is where I do most of my listening). If you've already gotten the previous version I'll be happy to replace it with the new one.
I think those who received the previous version of this playlist will testify to the level of quality I tried to maintain.
No charge. My treat. You folks are the only friends, apart from Her Majesty, that I have.

When they blow the electric grid through green policies. California is well on the way there.
Yeah people rely so heavily on electricity that any loss of that causes annoyance and outrage. I'm reminded of the 1977 NYC riots when the blackouts hit. People just went nuts from all the pent up frustration.
President Trump let a lot of steam out of the boiler, the pressure isn't as strong now. But if he's drummed out of office or he is replaced in 2020 by like Beto or some leftist crank... its going beyond the boiling point again and I don't know where that leads.

Predicting when a revolution (change in form of government) occurs is kind of like predicting avalanches or earthquakes. You can know that the stress is building and know something must give way, but not know the time nor the place nor the incident that sets it off.
In the U.S., it could be if the world decides to quit buying U.S. debt from a variety of reasons which means either massive tax increases on wealth (not income) or truly massive cuts in government spending. One outcome upsets the taxpayers, the other upsets everyone dependent on government for jobs and benefits.
BTW, our debt per GDP ratio is worse than the French--we are literally spending borrowed money to fund our government operations.

Alberta, it reflects what happened Here when the Tea Party tried to voice the issues. But in France infiltration was so quick with car burning and wrecking the countries historical sites.
we lost our issue . because our betters wanted to make sure we weren't concerned about tax and the countries financial strength! but reduced to defending against bigotry. for even daring to raise our heads.

>>So what is the proverbial American [last] straw?
When a critical mass of normies are shut out of technology, such as facebook/ twitter/ youtube/ Uber/ Airbnb for wrongthought badthink?
The more tech takes over things, the more power they have to banish a person or organization.
For example, Airbnb dropped a bunch of users who attended the infamous "white nationalist" march in Charlottesville, VA. That is, a service vendor is barring service based on perceived viewpoint. Why should they GAF what someone's politics are - they rent rooms?!?
The trend seems to be that once a person - such as Gavin MacInnes - is suspended/banned by one tech platform, the others eventually suspend/ban as well. So...how far will this go, how big of a demographic becomes unpersoned, essentially unable to connect via 21st century tech, before there is unrest?

Well I said it before, but when the lid does blow over here its going to be a combination of the American civil war, the American revolution, and the French revolution. It will be all 3. I'm pretty convinced that it won't be any one thing that starts it, because at this point there are many possibilities. The one thing that is certain, it won't and shouldn't end until there is nobody on the other side left to complain, otherwise it will have been for nothing.

My husband got into a little controversy with a couple of his Lefty friends on Facebook. He posted that the FBI does not consider the Proud Boys to be a terrorist group. They countered by claiming it was in fact a violent group and asked if he'd want his son to join. Some of his son's high school friends are Proud Boys, which I told them. I also explained that it's just a men's club and that I'd rather his son join them than Antifa. I went on to post some You Tube videos of what Antifa and BLM had been up to in Portland lately. Turned out that they hadn't seen those, which is no surprise.
You have to give people a way to make their voices heard, without resorting to violence. If you shut down all conversations except one, you will see pressure build up and the results won't be pretty.

Well, no, not exactly. In any society, but most obviously in a Socialist society, you've got your Makers and your Takers. The Makers do all the work that keeps food on the tables, the streets open, and the lamps lit. The Takers just parasitize the Makers. The Takers include the elite politicians, paid from the public purse, and also all the welfare roaches, AND the retirees, who were promised that status in exchange for accepting a high level of taxation.
Now what you have in France, is the Makers rioting because the taxation levels have risen to an unsustainable level, plus the handouts for retirees are now insufficient to live on, because so many other Takers have pillaged the supply of money.

So, I'm late the to party, but anyway. Last night I listened to Breitbart on Sirius, and the host had on a guest who is a legal expert regarding the SC. He clarified some things regarding the Planned Parenthood case and the SC.
He said that what made this case important and the most conservative jurists upset that it didn't get certi was that it isn't about Planned Parenthood and defunding abortion. The court wasn't being asked to make that determination. Rather, the case was brought because the SC itself has issued very muddied rulings in the past as to whether individuals or groups affected by a change in rules in a government entities benefit programs at both the state and federal level have standing to sue the government and have their grievances decided by a court. So in the case of state's restricting funding from a health care provider that provides legal services in accordance with the law, a political decision was made to remove their funding and two federal district courts have ruled the plaintiffs have standing and one ruled it didn't. So the district courts and the plaintifs/defendents were looking to the SC to make a final definitive ruling on the plaintiffs standing, which affects not just this case, but whether or not citizens( and let's face it , their support groups providing the funding and lawyers) can bring these cases to court.
And because of the defendents in this case, aka Planned Parenthood, Roberts and Kavanaugh decided to take the chicken way out and not take the case up.
This person agreed with Thomas that this was exactly the kind of case the SC should be ruling on to provide clarity to the lower courts regarding standing. He said it is a dereliction of the duty of the SC to ignore this. Addditionally, he said there are more cases of this nature, albeit without the PP attachement that will come down the pipe in the future, possibly in a few months and he expects that they might be palatable enough to allow K and R to agree to hear it.

Don't know who first used the phrase "the thin veneer of civilization," but a wise man once told me that in America, it is only our prosperity -- sitting as we do on a huge chunk of a continent splendiferously rich in resources -- that keeps us from falling into the natural human default mode of barbarianism.

Not sure what will trigger the true resistance, but our "betters" in D.C. are oblivious. I see them quizzing the Google CEO and wonder if there should not be signs to indicate how many of these Congress critters are recipients of Google cash.

Alberta, it reflects what happened Here when the Tea Party tried to voice the issues. But in France infiltration was so quick with car burning and wrecking the countries historical sites.
we lost our issue . because our betters wanted to make sure we weren't concerned about tax and the countries financial strength! but reduced to defending against bigotry. for even daring to raise our heads.

"Infiltration" implies that the Pantyfa have wormed their way into GJ's command and control, to the extent that there even is any. I doubt that. That's why I used "piggybacked". Pantyfa, and the other crazies are rioters of opportunity, kind of like hyenas. They are taking advantage of a situation they did not create.

I'd like to trash the French. "Why do you idiots keep voting for these people?" But we're the same. Very few people pay attention to the fact that their politicians are screwing them over until it's too late. They are simply oblivious. They think government is like a machine that just chugs along reliably and automatically that you don't have to think about. So many problems with correcting this. How to get the good people exposure? How to prevent them being ruined or slandered by the party machine so that the party can put up its Jebs as the only option? I don't know.

No, I think not, but we would punish them at the polls.
So what is the proverbial American straw?
As long as we have bread and circus, 50% of Americans won't care.
But it's really a matter of what "crushing the middle class" means. I think Americans would try the polls first...but after that, the Progs have made it easier to respond. Isolate the tope 25 urban centers on the same day and the left will fold. Don't riot in the cities, riot around them. Isolate them and cut them off. The left will fold.

It's a tiring cycle and the republicans should have learned by now what's at stake and they'll always be hated by those they're trying to appease.

OK, dumb movie, "The Circle" pretty well captured the internet mob/doxing mentality going out of control. It was freaky - not just harassment online, but people hunting down "bad" people IRL and posting pics about it online. Things like that blasphemy app are *exactly* what will lead to that , except with dire consequences (see: Assia Bibi in Pakistan).
Probably the worst part was the ending, that failed to condemn the loss of privacy, and instead had the lead actress just get all zen and accept it. No idea if the book ended the same way.

Unless of course the democratic administration made the polls meaningless through fraud and politically weaponized federal law enforcement

France is a strange place, with strange political traditions, some of which are quite passive and conciliatory (Vichy anyone?), and some of which are quite violent (Jacobins anyone?). I am trying to draw parallels with the United States, and while some of the feelings are similar, we simply don't have enough in common for any significant similarities.
That is not to say we can't respond to government intrusion...I just don't think we would do it the way the French are acting. I wonder how America would respond if a Democrat administration crushed the middle and working class with similar taxes? Would we riot? No, I think not, but we would punish them at the polls.
So what is the proverbial American straw?
The French are a homogeneous culture. When I was there they were very friendly to me but they are also very proud of being French. Through all the usual charges of being surrender monkeys, I've always thought that they could be taken advantage of to a point, after which they'd push back hard.

I'm not sure if there is an American last straw. We're already at a point where our votes don't count. When are we ever able to "punish at the polls?"
Our elections can be rigged and only a few people care. Everyone else moves on like it's no big thing. The government is involved in every minutiae of our lives. No one cares. Taxes? No big deal. It's not like we earned that paycheck or worked for that home and car. There is no such thing as true ownership in this country.
Over on tumblr, the userbase became angry, not because of censorship, but because their porn was being censored (poorly). "Why can't this site just get rid of the faaascists and not my porn!" they cry. Fascist being their word for, "anyone who disagrees with me."
We live in a hypocritical society run by the schools, silicon valley ponces, the media, and the ever-expanding bureaucratic government.
Yesterday, I listened to the CEO of Apple give a speech that perfectly outlines just how deep we've allowed these people to reach. We've given them so much power and let them lie, steal, and cheat. They actually believe they are our betters and therefore they should control our lives down to our very thoughts.
Freedom? We haven't been free in a long time. Frankly, I don't think we can bring freedom back to this country.

We are nowhere near "the last straw" on the national level. We're way too rich, even with all the griping. Our standard of living is well above the rest of the world, except for a few tiny "specialty" countries like Luxembourg, a kind of coddled Las Vegas for banks.
3.7% unemployment, and we don't riot over 10% unemployment, our safety net is too good.

Now what you have in France, is the Makers rioting because the taxation levels have risen to an unsustainable level, plus the handouts for retirees are now insufficient to live on, because so many other Takers have pillaged the supply of money.
That's somewhat true but in France the workweek is so short, the paid vacation time so long, the pensions so cozy, the required benefits so cushy, that there really is no real maker class in the nation. That's their problem: everyone wants the goodies, but nobody wants to do what they need to, to get them

This whole thing about protecting criminals is the mark of a declining society that has abandoned the "Social Contract" to borrow a lefty phrase.
So people rob you. You cannot forcefully defend. But the police/the law refuse to prosecute the property crime, but you for defending yourself.
This seems to be a corallary to that old phrase "Pacifism is defacto to tyranny."

In the U.S., it could be if the world decides to quit buying U.S. debt from a variety of reasons which means either massive tax increases on wealth (not income) or truly massive cuts in government spending. One outcome upsets the taxpayers, the other upsets everyone dependent on government for jobs and benefits.
BTW, our debt per GDP ratio is worse than the French--we are literally spending borrowed money to fund our government operations.

John Wesley Rawles calls that scenario "the Crunch" and has written novels that take place in that scenario. I read his "Survivors" and it seemed very realistic and believable to me. One thing he describes that I in my naivete had never thought of is that I'm not safe just because I live far away from cities. Drug gangs have no conscience, and when the collapse happens, they will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to get the fuel they need in order to get out of the cities and loot and pillage the rural areas. They don't intend to perish like the rest of the suckers trapped in the cities, and since, unlike others, they have no moral restraints, they'll simply kill their way to whatever they need.

If American women are going to forever tip the scales into the socialist camp I suspect there are going to be some hard-working men who might rise up in righteous anger and indignation before that.
-----
I think the demographic of these protests in France probably also contain many women, as did the Tea Party and Trump movement here - it's just that women generally try and avoid the part with the bare-knuckles street brawling, widespread arson and mayhem, and violent reprisals from security forces.
That probably is why the French protests are heavily male.

Fuel prices and food prices (as they say) affect the poor more than anyone else. Particularly the working class, no matter how short their work week or how cushy their pension. Gas prices in Europe were already obscene. People need to get to work. Or they need to drive a truck *for* work. They need to heat their houses and they need to feed their families.
A hike in the expense of those things isn't "progressive" the way any other tax would be set up. The working class guy driving a taxi or produce truck gets "taxed" even more than the posh dude who just drives his Lamborgini to work and parks it.

My daughter is one of the emotionally stunted (scratch that -- emotionally damaged) young people for whom an emotional support animal was quite helpful to alleviate stress. The problem is, people used the goodwill of the airlines (what little shred was left) to skirt paying for bringing their pets with them or as an excuse to avoid having to board Fido for their weekend getaway.
Meanwhile, my daughter will be fine, but her utterly unobtrusive helper (a hedgehog that sat unnoticeably beneath her shirt) was never a part of the objections or objectionable behavior. Sad.

Federal taxes in the U.S. have remained pretty stable throughout post WWII at slightly less than 20%
https://preview.tinyurl.com/y9faakn4
Overall taxes including state and local governments as a percentage of GDP was around 26%
https://preview.tinyurl.com/ybh6867c
The problem has been escalating spending which is about 34 % of total gdp by combined federal, state, and local, governments, https://preview.tinyurl.com/yayv46hm
This means that the gap must be made up by borrowing. States and local governments do this too by building and buying unsupportable infrastructure, promising exorbitant pensions, not maintaining current assets, and engaging in off the books debt.
States that allow deficit spending formally have shot through the roof, CT, NJ, IL, probably NY soon, and CA, are on the road to insolvency, and with pensions, many states will either have to trim or eliminate pensions, increase taxes, or cut services (in states where deficit spending is not allowed. )
Debtworld (worldwide massive government debt) is something that modern economics has simply not been able to process properly. Japan, for example, has sailed off the charts with close to 250% govt debt to gdp which Carmines and Rogoff indicate that something has to give. It has not as of yet. Germany is probably the best of the major countries with 62% gov debt to GDP with most close to the U.S. For comparing how countries are in debt.

Good People will start losing their access, will start getting swept up with the goats, will find out that their lives don't live up to the scrutiny of an internet that doesn't forget the shit you posted when you were 14...
And sure, there aren't other platforms to go to and I don't know that a point will be reached when alternative platforms are created or if the culture will simply move on... or return to blogs... or develop a "dark web" or will simply figure out work arounds... newsletters!
Who knows.
But I'm betting that the rioters, when they come, will still be Anti-fa, because you know those mental infants aren't without sin and won't stand up to a culture of professional sin-seekers. It's impossible.

imo it mostly identifies them as the working class ... they are not fighting cuz they want to be allowed to wear pink vests, or no vests. I'm just sayin ... the vest law was not "the last straw", if it was even a straw at all.

Hundreds of young demonstrators turned out Monday on Capitol Hill to push Democrats on a package of ambitious environmental goals - including a nationwide transition to 100-percent power from renewable sources within as little as 10 years - that's been dubbed the Green New Deal.
Already embraced by Rep. elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., an increasingly influential figure on the left, the Green New Deal is designed to nudge prospective Democratic presidential candidates to stake out aggressive positions on climate change.
The Green New Deal deliberately omits details on how to reorient the United States toward the drastic carbon-emissions reductions it demands, instead calling for a select committee in the House to devise a plan by 2020.

Our Country: That would look sooo much hotter if she wasn't wearing "granny panties".
Yeah, there are a half-dozen things that detract from that picture,
including the glare on the floor. Amateur photographer 1960s men's mag
soft-core quality. Not complaining, just noting.
If she's a bit overdressed, well, you know, that's how Poppins likes 'em.

I've heard that Renaults won't start unless you are wearing a yellow jacket & the Prossies en Paree won't start unless you have yellow fluorescent underwear.

68 BTW, our debt per GDP ratio is worse than the French--we are literally spending borrowed money to fund our government operations.

The Green New Deal deliberately omits details on how to reorient the United States toward the drastic carbon-emissions reductions it demands, instead calling for a select committee in the House to devise a plan by 2020.

We don't have to come up with a plan. We're *idea* people. And we CARE.
Did we mention that we care? Well, we do. And we wish we could explain to you why you should care too.

If they disenfranchase the normals, i.e. remove DJT from office for a trumped up, fake charge based on an illegal surveillance op that was never punished, could be the last straw for many.

Last straw.. the problem is with the question.. the way it is being asked here implies it is something really big..
but that's not what the phrase means.. it means you have already been piled on to the breaking point and even one small thing starts the collapse.
While we have a lot to bitch about with creeping socialism, and some of us stuck in states like Illinois are continually under the burden of higher and higher taxes, it's not bad enough yet for a "last straw".
At least for a large enough portion of the populace to get to riot.
I don't know that Americans will ever let it get to that point. There are times when I have my doubts, though.. the PC bullshit and forced use of pronouns and blatant censorship - official and not - really gets me going.. but not to the point of rioting..
Maybe we are too spread out.. retreating to our suburban neighborhoods.. don't know..

I have seen two of the previous ten best picture winners.
If a meteor did hit that building on the night of the awards, I'd be as ambivalent as it is possible to be.

Macron's response to the workers when they voiced their complaint about the taxes was similar to the response that Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton had for the W. Virginia coal miners. "Sucks to be you". That is how you get Pres. Trump. Impeach his ass and you may very well have people wearing yellow vests around here.

I read a longer analysis of the protestors. Two groups of them really. There were the polite and careworn rural folks come to Paris; they'd worked long and hard and played by the rules. I thought of them as a sort of version of the Tea Party here--although the American Tea Party members tended to be solidly middle class suburbanites, and the rural French were poor. But they acted the same--be polite, pick up your mess etc.
Then there was another group--also rural folks--men in ther 30s and early 40s. It was a much smaller group,but they had come to rumble. Sounds like a French version of the Anti Fa movements in Berkeley and Portland. Next time they will come with pitchforks and do a little "Frog gigging". Don't mess with rural boys.
