The Morning Rant

talking ape.jpg
I'm in a bad mood. I've just read 'A Letter on Justice and Open Debate' published by Harper's Magazine and signed by 150 academics, authors, and other public intellectuals decrying cancel culture, and despite the fact that many are oohing and aahing over it, I think it's just a cowardly attempt to avoid responsibility.

This is how the letter introduces the topic of cancel culture:

The forces of illiberalism are gaining strength throughout the world and have a powerful ally in Donald Trump, who represents a real threat to democracy.

So the signers of this letter want us to believe that the SJW howling mobs that are getting (mostly conservative voices) silenced and deplatformed from social media, and in some cases causing them to lose their employment are being led or inspired by Donald Trump. There are literally no facts whatsoever to support this assertion, nor is it admitted that cancel culture has been going on longer than Trump has been if office. Just as every Nazi meeting or conservation had to begin and end with Heil Hitler, and every communication from Islamic terrorists has to have 'Death to America' or 'Death to Israel' in it, so, too, does every article written by a liberal have to contain a ritualistic condemnation and renouncing of Donald Trump and all of his works. It's like they're signaling to all of their buds that they're in the club.

But resistance must not be allowed to harden into its own brand of dogma or coercion—which right-wing demagogues are already exploiting.

So, in other words, the real problem with cancel culture is that conservatives are pouncing on it. And who are these "right-wing demagogues" who are "exploiting" the situation, which I guess means making the left look bad by pointing out their crimes? The open letter doesn't say.

The democratic inclusion we want can be achieved only if we speak out against the intolerant climate that has set in on all sides.

"All sides." Because the recent spate of rioting and vandalizing/destruction of statues was a bipartisan effort. Definitely. You ever notice that when the left wants to call out the right for doing something bad, they say 'the right is doing something bad', but when the left is caught doing something obviously bad, they claim it's 'all sides' who are doing it? Even when it's manifestly untrue? In fact, you can take this to the bank: when the left says that 'both sides' or 'all sides' are to blame for something, that's a tacit admission that they've screwed up, they know they've screwed up, and they're trying to hide the fact that they've screwed up.

But, I digress. The open letter continues:

The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted. While we have come to expect this on the radical right, censoriousness is also spreading more widely in our culture: an intolerance of opposing views, a vogue for public shaming and ostracism, and the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty.

So cancel culture is "expected" from the "radical right", only the open letter provides no examples nor even bother telling their readers who on the "radical right" is actually doing it. Only that it is "spreading widely in our culture."

But it is now all too common to hear calls for swift and severe retribution in response to perceived transgressions of speech and thought. More troubling still, institutional leaders, in a spirit of panicked damage control, are delivering hasty and disproportionate punishments instead of considered reforms. Editors are fired for running controversial pieces; books are withdrawn for alleged inauthenticity; journalists are barred from writing on certain topics; professors are investigated for quoting works of literature in class; a researcher is fired for circulating a peer-reviewed academic study; and the heads of organizations are ousted for what are sometimes just clumsy mistakes.

And this would've have been the perfect time to admit, "yeah, you know, cancel culture is pretty much a left-wing phenomenon and we need to knock that sh*t off", but they don't. They just make a sudden shift into the passive voice ("mistakes were made") to describe what has been happening. "Editors are fired for running controversial pieces." Why? Who fired them, and why were their pieces 'controversial'? They don't say. "Books are withdrawn for alleged inauthenticity". Who decided to withdraw the books and what does 'inauthentic' mean and why were the books considered as such? Again, they don't say. They also didn't say that the publishing world is close to being a 100% left-wing operation as you can get, so if anybody got fired or had their books withdrawn or forbidden to write on certain topics, the person who did the firing and withdrawing and forbidding was undoubtedly a lefty. Not a conservative. Not a "right-wing demagogue." And certainly not Donald Trump.

In this open letter, the left never gets mentioned as doing anything worthy of condemnation at all. Not once.

It's like the signers are a bunch of cowards who are afraid to call out their own BFFs.

As writers we need a culture that leaves us room for experimentation, risk taking, and even mistakes. We need to preserve the possibility of good-faith disagreement without dire professional consequences. If we won’t defend the very thing on which our work depends, we shouldn’t expect the public or the state to defend it for us.

Aren't you guys a bit late with this? I mean, seriously, conservatives have been blackballed, black-listed, censored, and cancelled from mainstream brick-and-mortar publishing houses for decades and not a peep from any of you. And no, it wasn't from Donald Trump or "the radical right", it was you guys who either participated in the cancelling or silently cheered from the sidelines. And please don't tell us you didn't know. Conservatives have been complaining about this for years, but you turned your back and ignored them. The *only reason* you signed this letter is that cancel culture is now eating you. The rough beast you've birthed and nursed and fed in your bosom is now turning around and devouring you. And to this I say: Fan-f*cking-tastic. No-one deserves it more than you sorry collection of sanctimonious hacks. Margaret Atwood? Screw you. David Brooks? EABOD. Noam Chomsky? Up yours. David Frum? Eat poo. Todd Gitlin, Steven Pinker, J.K. Rowling, Salman Rushdie, Matthew Yglesias and the rest of you who signed this craven plea to be eaten last? You can all just eff right off.

22 Stefanie was also The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. some years before, and was married to Gary Lockwood, famous as Gary Mitchell on Star Trek.

Wagner was a better actor than he was given credit for. He played the sociopathic murderer in the original A Kiss Before Dying, and was very effective. But his signature role really is Alexander Mundy from It Takes a Thief. I think pics 2 and 3 are from that time period.

He's always been the most upbeat old fellow you could ever meet. He's extremely depressed. Since March, he's been confined to his little room for all his meals, hasn't seen another human being outside the staff, and can't even sit on the big porch outside to get fresh air.

85 He's always been the most upbeat old fellow you could ever meet. He's extremely depressed. Since March, he's been confined to his little room for all his meals, hasn't seen another human being outside the staff, and can't even sit on the big porch outside to get fresh air. I thought he was going to cry. "I feel like I'm in jail. I'm so lonely."

They used it until it had accomplished their goals, then it was disarmed so it couldn't be used against them. Though, let's be frank, the odds of that were low anyway. How many famous Conservative comedians are there? One? Two? How many comedians are even WILLING to make jokes targeting the left? Not much more.

100 That whole letter is a prime example of "eat me last" rationalization. They're on the right side, don't you see. They believe the right things, at least for now. They're down with the cause and brothers in the mission. They just want enough "liberalism" to allow themselves to survive in the despotic and oppressive culture they themselves are fomenting.

If they had actual positions, they'd make a simple statement about the value of free speech, free expression and open debate. They didn't. This is tremendously cynical. It also won't work. These intellectuals - like all professional intellectuals before them - thought they would end up running the monster they were helping to create. They now fear that this might be true and are begging for their lives, but cannot bring themselves to adjust their beliefs. They still want it. They just want it to benefit themselves.

I dunno, I think it would kinda be poetic justice for all these SJW's to get a taste of their own rancid medicine.

They have no problem judging 18th century people by 21st century moral standards, as in "how dare they have owned slaves at a time when it was legal to do so and slavery had been an accepted practice for thousands of years, all over the world? It really was short-sighted of those people not to have been able to look hundreds of years into the future and realize that that behavior would one day look bad."

Since they're willing to judge past generations by moral and legal standards that didn't even exist during their lifetimes, it's only fair that they get judged the same way.

According to my best friend who works there, one of the largest PC companies in the world moved forward with sales events with the word "black" in it and promoting it on social media.

Employees were complaining that it was racially insensitive and inefficiently woke.

Funny thing, everyone who complained were pasty white soygots. Not a single black employee complained.

Company's response was to tell them to fucking grow up pussy faggot shit for brains or go look for another job if they don't like how the company does things.

Pussyfaggot employees shit their pants and shriek like the the pathetic little bitch tits they are.

Company makes fortune off sales events.

Ayn Rand really understood the public intellectual, as did Paul Johnson. Johnson wrote an entire book - a book well worth reading, by the way - about them. Rand, though, did her tirade about it in the form of one her many long-winded character soliloquies, but hit the nail on the head:

"They won't, your kind of intellectuals are the first to scream when it's safe--and the first to shut their traps at the first sign of danger. They spend years spitting at the man who feeds them--and they lick the hand of the man who slaps their drooling faces. Didn't they deliver every country of Europe, one after another, to committees of goons, just like this one here? Didn't they scream their heads off to shut out every burglar alarm and to break every padlock open for the goons? Have you heard a peep out of them since? Didn't they scream that they were the friends of labor? Do you hear them raising their voices about the chain gangs, the slave camps, the fourteen-hour workday and the mortality from scurvy in the People's States of Europe? No, but you do hear them telling the whip-beaten wretches that starvation is prosperity, that slavery is freedom, that torture chambers are brother-love and that if the wretches don't understand it, then it's their own fault that they suffer, and it's the mangled corpses in the jail cellars who're to blame for all their troubles, not the benevolent leaders! Intellectuals? You might have to worry about any other breed of men, but not about the modern intellectuals: they'll swallow anything.

This "brave" letter about Cancel culture never mentions:

-- Media and their allies who lead the mob to doxx and cancel people, such as CNN's Oliver Darcy


Cancel culture would not be half as bad, maybe not even possible, without social media doing the actual deboosting, shadowbanning and cancellation of accounts.

They are either cowards for not calling out social media complicity (please don't suspend MY account!) OR they are fine with it, because it suits their need to police "hate speech" and "fake news".

Puerto Rico is a claimed 'Spanish Territory' and residents have dual US Spanish citizenship. Goya founders came from Puerto Rico to US.

188 The Left (happily) eats itself.

Well, the group organizing the big BLM protests in Portland has just been canceled.

"Rose City Justice" was founded by a group of young black people, and was enormously successful in organizing peaceful multi-thousand person marches in Portland.

But they were attacked by the Left for a variety of sins: they failed to have transgender blacks in positions of power in the organization, and didn't seem to think the lack of transgendered blacks was a problem; that they (gasp!) coordinated with the cops to ensure that the cops knew where the march was going; that one of the leaders of RCJ (gasp!) was an ex-military policeman, and had failed to grovel enough for his past evilness; that RCJ refused to route the marches downtown, to provide cover for the rioting anarchists downtown; and on and on and on.

So, the peaceful marches that actually were changing public opinion in Portland are over, leaving only the rioting anarchists downtown, who piss everyone off.

I think the lesson here is that we should demand that transgender rights be the focus of every demonstration and protest. The percentage of black people who take transgenderism seriously is probably in the single digits, and any black person who doubts transgenderism, or thinks that transgender rights are a secondary issue, should be expelled from the movement.

She's a total Lefty, but she did not quickly fold to the transgender activists as others before her had, such as Martina Navratilova.

About a week ago JK "liked" a Stephen King tweet, so he responded by making his next tweet some trans rights slogan (forget which - maybe "Trans women are women!"). As you said, (petty) Mean Girls tactics.

They weren't so anti-Communist while they were outsourcing their own production to the mainland, sorta like out manufacturers. They like forced labor when they get the cash from it, now that Beijing is taking it and clipping their wings, not so much.

One of the ex-colleagues family had garment factories, he fired the locals and moved production to the mainland. He flew back and forth to NYC, had a great old time. I guess some of the PRC types didn't like to see the HK party and profit. He "escaped" back here, took a faculty job somewhere, left his wife and kid behind. This shit we don't need, sorry.

Crawford had a hard life. She was determined to be a star, and nothing was too much or too degrading if it meant her name in lights.
