The Morning Rant

talking ape.jpg

Well, here's an interesting piece that came out before the plague smacked us in the face like a dead fish. It says, quote, former members of the Communist Party in Sweden plan to build a new Socialist worker's party that's free of multicultural dogma, climate alarmism, and LGBT issues that currently plague the modern left, unquote.

A vigorous communism that rejects identity politics would indeed be an interesting political development. Perhaps Bernie would be wise to take note of this.

The article quotes a Swedish old-school commie who is fed up to the back teeth with multiculturalsm, LGBTBBQ++ identity politics, and Greta the Pest. He's is mad because all of these multi-culti issues have crowded out those that commies like him have traditionally fought for. He says, quote, Pride, for instance, has been reduced to dealing with sexual orientation. We believe that human dignity is primarily about having a job and having pension insurance that means that you are not forced to live on crumbs when you are old, unquote.

It's very unlikely I would agree with his proposed solutions to the problems he's talking about, but I have to admit he's trying to address some actual problems of actual working people. Rat bastard commies used to be all about the working people, or so they said. Now, the mountains of skulls produced by rat bastard commie regimes said otherwise, but I could at least respect the brawny steel-worker or coal-miner labor organizer. Those guys actual knew what a hard day's work was. The working class isn't going to be lifted up by a bunch of boutique-level soy boys and rainbow-haired androgynous baristas, who are about as useless for the left as the NeverTrumper are for conservatism.

He's upset that the worker's movement has been hijacked by a bunch of college student commie wannabes, who are definitely not proletariat no matter how much they pretend to be.

The Swedish commies aren't real big on open borders, either, nor with the creeping Islamicization of their country.

Progressivism does not come off well here. I mean, how bad does the multi-culti cult have to be when even rat bastard commies are getting tired of it?

More on the empty hospitals thing: They say there is a video of a German guy who walks *all* through a German hospital to show that there is nothing going on there.

Their media is also telling them that hospitals are "war zones" apparently. There's also video from Ireland where the lady filming shows nobody is being tested in the tent she sneaked into.

Also, the progs are going apeshit over these videos saying "YOU'RE FILMING THE OUTSIDE", however, what they are not taking into account is that *SO* is the news media, just the night before.

In some cases the empty hospitals guys are filming the same locations where the news media has recently shown people in lines...OUTSIDE the hospital.

Given the American commie history of rent-a-mobs, this isn't so unexplained why the news media can film crowds.

I attended a Life Chain event, where our chain stretched for 3 miles, and across the street 12-15 students gathered to protest for "Reproduction Rights" and when I saw the footage, I saw a sparsely populated part of the chain where we our group couldn't fit that many, because of a curve in the road, small shoulder and guard rail. The rest of the chain was *pretty much* elbow-to-elbow, btw. And then they crowded the counter protestors next to a telephone poll, which took up a reasonable portion of the shot and crowded everybody into the shot and made it look like a crowd.

I've seen media manipulation first hand. I have no hope of believing the media or doubting their complicity.

Part of it is the politics make strange bedfellows. The thing is, as long as they have a common enemy (mainstream) then all these groups can get along. Once one of THEM becomes the mainstream, then they splinter.

60 Communists need the LGBTBBQ identity politics crowd because straight economic communism obviously doesn't have the moral superiority needed to appeal to the average people. It's not good enough to say "you should do things our way because we have a better version of the future for everyone." A far more powerful way to get people to align with you is to convince the other side is Evil with a capital E.

Think it goes back to the notion that whatever the activist says their cause is, it's really about power.

Sure, there are a lot of useful idiot true believers in each of these causes who really think, say, feminism is about "equality," but the people pushing it are about power. In a lot of cases, that power derives from breaking functioning institutions, norms/vales to make room for what they really want.

70 Shelley was indeed hot when she was young. I recently watched a 1952 movie with her and Gary Merrill, and with a featured appearance by Bette Davis, called Phone Call From a Stranger. No, not a creepy thriller, a good drama. Shelley plays a cabaret girl/stripper. No, we don't get any views of her at work, but at that point in her life, you could believe her as an exotic dancer. The story I've heard is that, when Shelley was ordered by her studio to do some part she didn't want, she'd deliberately let herself gain weight, so they would replace her in the cast. And she'd be free to do an A picture instead.

Marx was a layabout theorist, as I recall, who didn't really do much else besides, well, theorize. I do not think real world applicability of his theories mattered much to him.

Because the media is the exercise of the proposition that Americans will believe anything they are told.

People still believe that Adam Schiff's prosecution game within whiffing distance of a point.

And I may sound like a broken record, because I've been hitting this point for a few days: You're talking about a media that propped up Jussie Smollet's claim even as it dissolved into absurdity.

When Dave Chappelle started making fun of Smollet's by now farcical claims, we were still on national racism lockdown on whether or not we can make fun of an increasingly absurd group of claims. I can remember the semi-debate about whether or not Chappelle could be allowed to say it.

I reiterate: the media is the exercise of the proposition that Americans will believe what they are told.

You know ,"Common Sense Communism" could be a serious political threat.

Right now, all the lunatic ideas of the Left make any idea of the Left look insane.

But, yeah, what if a Commie movement on the Left said,

"This is all bullshit. Here's what we want: good jobs for everyone for life, great medical care, and a generous pension to live on. That's it. That's all we want for you our fellow citizens.

Posted by: tubal at April 03, 2020 11:22 AM (90T4r)

**shrugs** She never did much for me. Here she is in 1935s Naughty Marietta:

https://tinyurl.com/tsboujh

She was married to Charles Laughton at one time, which makes some sense, as he was a self-hating homosexual and Lanchester was, if not strictly lesbian, bisexual.

That was the same year she did Bride. As far as I know, she and Laughton were married for many years, and worked together as late as Witness for the Prosecution, where he plays the barrister Sir Wilfrid, and she is his nurse.

174 >>Communists need the LGBTBBQ identity politics crowd because straight economic communism obviously doesn't have the moral superiority needed to appeal to the average people.


I have linked to this many times, but it's because it has stood the test of time. The LGBTQ whatever activism related to sex has a very specific purpose:

https://tinyurl.com/y5qqwatp

What's interesting is that, because the Left expresses itself in terms of "freeing" people's sexuality, many people miss the fact that it is every bit as sexually controlling in its own way as Islam is.

This control comes about because the Left works assiduously to decouple sex from a person's own sense of bodily privacy and, by extension, self-ownership. If a person has no sense of autonomy, that person is a ready-made cog for the statist machinery.


Back when campuses were rioting over speakers like Milo Y. the DC did a story on BAMN (By Any Means Necessary, a national Antifa like group that has a large presence in Berkley) that showed that its founders shared office space, and at least one founder was a member of, NAMBLA. Further, their founding mission statement included NAMBLA goals of child love.

I really don't think you can decouple Communisms/totalitarianism from sexual deviance. They need each other too much to reach their respective missions.

229 What Marx got right?

Marx got the existence of a self-interested national bourgeoisie right. We're living that dream right here with the multinational corporations dictating to us what can and cannot be said re China.

Marx also sort-of got dialectical materialism right, that class struggle is a thing, fueled by resentment and envy. He also got right that democracy-plus-capital will end up in a dictatorship of the proletariat. Except that he'd plagiarised that from Greeks like Plato and Polybius, Ibn Khaldun to an extent. I also get the impression Marx hadn't read much past The Republic. (A word for a dictatorship ruling on the proletariat's behalf exists. It's 'tyranny'.)

Marx should have figured out the true problem of capitalism as an -ism, which is the compound-interest exponential rise of debt. But if Marx did notice, he buried it deep within the stupid. You have to go over to Michael Hudson for that.

Marx got class analysis right - but not in the way we intended.

You have a ruling class in this country that thinks it should run things, without regard to what anyone else in the country thinks. Since they are "credentialed", they are fitted to rule, you see.

The European Union is designed so this bureaucratic class has all the power, and the voters have none.

Under Obama, the blue cities got rich, and the rest of the country stagnated.

Politics makes a lot more sense if you view the Democrats (and many Republicans) as simply representing the interests of their class.

304 The strange thing to me is that the people pushing the most radical bizarre stuff these days seem not to be driven by economic or political reasons so much as madness and evil.

They use political language, but only out of habit or reflex rather than belief. They frame things in terms of justice or equality, but they don't seem to actually care about any of those things. They talk about multiculturalism and diversity, tolerance etc but only as weapons, not deeply held convictions. They use the terms to bludgeon others for not agreeing, not out of any fondness for the concepts.

Its almost all driven by a need to seem caring, a deep-set sense of resentment for not getting what they want, a frustration with life not being what they long for it to be, and an insanity driven by a near-total rejection of reason and truth.

Look at their actions, not their words. They aren't even socialists. They're just madmen driven by a need to normalize the perverted, bizarre, and unhealthy, while trying to make normal behavior aberrant and shunned.

it might have been dropped to 11 decades ago when the last non-nuke came out of service. but it was solid at 11.

that's why the Enterprise lasted as long as she did. the ford wasn't(still isn't) ready and taking the enterprise out before would drop us to 10 carriers.

Not so amazing, really. Chloroquine was shown to be effective against SARS-COV way back in 2005 or 2006 (forget which, exactly). I believe there were actually trials for it. So once the new virus was identified as SARS-COV-2, I expect they tried the treatment again.

Ray Mabus got the number of carriers reduced to 10 and the Navy trying
to count hospital ships as warships to keep the fleet numbers up.


I used to have training videos from Mabus. He sounded relatively normal, but if you knew what he was doing to the Navy, it was a real effort not to put your booth through the screen.

As far as carriers are concerned, I've seen lots of arguments pro and con. I know it's not allowed here at the HQ, but I'm going to say I don't know. Both make strong cases; one that carriers are a large, vulnerable target in the age of Chinese shore to ship guided missiles, and the other that we can defend them against the same.

Would we be better off building different kinds of ships, or even putting the money into lasers and railguns? Beats me.

Call your landlord and tell them you won't be paying your rent for the foreseeable future. I doubt they'll file a notice to quit or anything else, because a lot of your neighbors are going through the same thing.

Apply for every loan and grant you can. Apply for unemployment even if you think you don't qualify. Notify your car loan lender and anyone else you owe money to that no payments will be made for awhile.

They were raised with the "no bullying, don't hurt people's feelings" thing hammered into them so hard, so constantly, and with such religious fervor that this is their entire worldview.

The real annoying thing some people do is tell you:

1. Jesus was just a man.
2. This is what Jesus, as a man, really said.

Jesus, as a man, is inert. It doesn't make one difference what Jesus, the inept revolutionary homosexual Marxist who got himself killed by the Romans thought. It couldn't make a difference to me.

The reason that we should "consider the lilies of the field" or regard the sparrow, is because we have an authoritative source telling us God will be our providence.

And Providence is already the thing they don't believe. So, not only do they illustrate a Jesus you don't believe, or have to interest in following, they introduce a Jesus where 90% of the things that he can actually counsel, they already don't believe.

And Jesus (the Man) was a Pollyanna. Yeah, don't worry it all works out, be meek and humble, because you will *inherit the Earth*.

It is the *authority* of Jesus that provides reassurance. It is the smudging of that authority that makes him an afterthought.

Funny story about that.

A co-worker of mine, years ago, got horribly sick and his symptoms included a raging sinus infection. It got to the point where his sinuses were so inflamed that the fluid was starting to impinge on his optic nerves, and the vision in one of his eyes started cutting in and out.

So he drags himself to the nearest emergency room, which was at the Lafayette Women's and Children's hospital. Too bad for him that the name of the hospital was literal, and they told him to drag his half blind ass back to his truck and go somewhere else.

Actually... that story isn't very funny at all.

Think it's like the Chik-fil-A hate: it's not really about discrimination concerns, it's about not wanting them "normalized".

If Samaritan's purse does a fabulous job helping NYC, then this may cause some people who are constantly told that Christians are the biggest haters to question that. Also, this would demonstrate how efficient a private relief organization is in comparison to a government-run one.

They want to cancel Christians, Christian charities and Samaritan's Purse showing itself to be helpful in a crisis stymies this goal.

hypocrisy is a relic of bourgeois Old Think. Same with "double standards."

We reactionaries (conservatives, classical liberals) are capable of hypocrisy because we believe in objective standards of behavior and truth. Thus WE always fight an internal battle between what is right and what is self-serving.

Proletarian New Think regards "objective" standards as a delusion and rejects them altogether. There is only one standard. What is good is whatever serves the Movement/Party. What is true is whatever serves the Narrative. Period. There is no internal struggle.

Whenever the Left speaks of hypocrisy, it only does so to exploit the Old Thinkers' guilt.

The way PDT is reaching out to private industry to step up and help out during this epidemic is a fantastic example of how private industry is 1000% better than the government. Only when certain companies were being dicks did he use the defense production act. And we - as consumers -- should remember who these dick companies were and reward them appropriately.

No follow up by the reporters there...like "hey, imbecile, then how come you are not sending them non-corona patients to free up NYC hospitals beds like you've been whining about?"...because that would be the logical next question...instead it was the usual nodding about how bad Orangeman is for providing NYC this useless ship!

I think its broader than that, it also is teaching things about love, commitment, becoming one creation, and God's relationship with Man. Sex is powerful stuff and is for a reason, not just "I'm bored" or "I am bummed out, I bet if I have an orgasm I'll feel better" and grabbing Tinder.

This is my experience. After Hurricane Michael, there were missionaries and The Salvation Army on the ground in Mexico Beach very quickly, offering water and meals. The Red Cross showed up too, but the ones I ran into were really concerned about these other groups' activities. "Here's some water, Here's where to get a meal. The Salvation Army came by? When? What were they doing?"

Well of course. It's an icon of the Trinity including even personal sacrifice but also great love. But at it's core is the miracle of creation which is why sex, the integrity of th he person and th he integrally of the gift is so radically important. Sexuality truly becomes human when fully integrated to the whole person, ie intellect, will, and body and isn't just a meaningless body function.

Even the evil commie loons understand it's important, but they don't know why. They imagine it's about license, ou r fender, or expression or how gross they can be.

It's importance lies in it's unitive and procreative properties meant to build up and share love and sacrifice and strength.

510 Interesting solution for the cruise ships which came into Florida.

All those with a verifiable plan for getting home by vehicle were permitted off first. Meaning mostly Floridians. If your car is in the parking lot here, or if you can prove you are being picked up, you can get off.

But if you are flying home, here is how you will do it. Get off the ship, follow the roped-off lines that lead directly to the special chartered buses we have waiting for you. You will be bussed to the airport, and a specially chartered plane will fly you to your final destination.

If for example you came solo from Salt Lake City, and you are the only person going there, you'll be a solo passenger on that chartered flight.

President Trump to the rescue!
