What kind of rage?

There is great consternation that Tucker Carlson insulted the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for suggesting that studying Critical Race Theory was a key to understanding white rage and the January 6 Capitol "Insurrection".

Why would it not be a key to understanding the shallowness of popular CRT figures like Kendi and DiAngelo (whose 'White Fragility' has just been amped up to 'White Rage')?

Glenn Greenwald has a suggestion: "White rage" has been chosen as the new military foe:

It is, of course, possible that the top brass of the U.S. military has suddenly become supremely enlightened on questions of racial strife and racial identity in the U.S., and thus genuinely embraced theories that, until very recently, were the exclusive province of left-wing scholars at elite academic institutions. Given that all U.S. wars in the post-World War II era have been directed at predominantly non-white countries, which -- like all wars -- required a sustained demonization campaign of those enemy populations, having top Pentagon officials become leading anti-racism warriors would be quite a remarkable transformation indeed. But stranger things have happened, I suppose.
But perhaps there is another explanation other than righteous, earnest transformation as to why the top U.S. General has suddenly expressed such keen interest in studying and exploring "white rage". Note that Gen. Milley's justification for the military's sudden immersion in the study of modern race theories is the January 6 Capitol riot -- which, in the lexicon of the U.S. security state and American liberalism, is called The Insurrection.

Coming soon to The Pentagon?

Concerning the rage-filled, white Antifa mobsters at the top of the post, Daniel Greenfield on the whiteness of woke:

White wokes use critical race theory the way that elites always used Marxist theories to compete with more successful people of their own upper class. Class warfare was never about the rise of the oppressed: Lenin was a member of the nobility, Mao's father was a landlord and a money lender, and Castro was a wealthy law student whose father owned a plantation.
Critical race theory is designed to thin out the overproduction of elites. It's a weapon against meritocracy by the same mediocre cliques looking for a shortcut in the competition. Executives force critical race theory into workplaces to shut down ambitious younger rivals. Suburban soccer moms of dumber kids go woke and push it into schools to even the playing field.
What's whiteness? As the Smithsonian Museum of African-American Culture's chart of "white culture" put it, whiteness covers everything from a serious work ethic to self-reliance, rational thinking, delayed gratification, achieving goals, being on time, and, finally, "competition".
Get rid of academic standards, intellectual seriousness, punish success, and the mediocre woke white elites who first created quota systems a century ago have much more of a shot at the top.

So what does this have to do with our military? Will Antifa become targets, too? Where will they fall in the struggle between the elite classes?

From this March, Frank Bennet, a former Infantry Platoon Leader in Afghanistan, on another dust-up between military brass and Tucker Carlson, in this case, concerning gender neutrality. When the armed forces serve a global corporate agenda, it's no surprise that HR mandates are mission critical.

When official Department of Defense spokesmen attacked Tucker Carlson--who criticized the military's integration of diversity-centered staffing mandates--they exposed a crucial gap between what Americans believe their military to be and the true purpose of our trillion-dollar war machine. What is being interpreted as an escalation in the culture wars is actually about how our regime perceives power itself.
The primary purpose of the U.S. military is to protect the global economic status quo, sometimes known as the "neoliberal order" or "the Washington Consensus." General Officers and Senior Enlisted men responding to Carlson's remarks about women in combat did so in their official capacity as representatives of the United States Department of Defense, in uniform, using official Twitter accounts without standard disclaimers. While they insisted they were simply "defending their soldiers" from unjust criticism, this superficial claim fails to capture the truth about the unfolding dynamic.
The debate that is playing out right now about sex, gender, and the military is happening only because we never, as a country, actually had it. . . This wasn't part of any platform or campaign promise that a politician ran on, it wasn't caused by any organic change in opinion by the general public on women in combat, and it was never talked about outside of semi-closed groups already intimately familiar with the data on the subject.

Scarcely anyone who isn't already connected to the military--as a veteran, on active duty, or involved in defense policy circles--knew that it had gone all-in on complete and total sex and gender integration in all branches and roles. For others, Carlson exposed them to something that's been in progress for years. Millions of his viewers--patriotic Americans who care about the security of the nation and have immense respect for the military--probably felt like they had been lied to and betrayed. They've all grown up with a general idea that the "point" of the U.S. military is to deter war, and failing that, to win the war that follows.
But this isn't the purpose anymore.

Also from March, Aaron Reitz, a Major in the USMC Reserve, an Afghanistan War veteran and the Texas Deputy Attorney General for Legal Strategy, in Newsweek:

In the Marine Corps, we don't have quotas, but we do have goals. And Marines accomplish goals," my officer-in-charge told me and a few other brand-new second lieutenants, each of us assigned to temporary recruiting duty while awaiting orders to Quantico. The captain then told us we had to sign up a certain number of college-enrolled racial minorities and females. No need to be too strict on physical fitness or academics, he said. Just bring them in.
That was in 2009. Discrimination of this sort has been an ingrained yet lamentable part of the military's recruitment, retention and promotion practices for many years. But my fellow officers and I couldn't have imagined that, 12 years later, our disagreement with these policies would get us labeled "racist," "sexist," "bigoted" or "extremists" worthy of "eradication" and "elimination" from the USMC. Yet the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps said as much in his February 22 "core values" memo.
I'm now a major in the Marine Corps Reserve and a member of a formerly all-male infantry battalion.* This past weekend we had our monthly drill period. A few days before drill, the command told us that all scheduled training on Sunday morning was canceled and replaced with a "stand-down to address extremism in the ranks."
It was left-wing political programming, as direct as it sounds.

We were instructed that there is a Taliban-like threat in the United States called "domestic terrorism." These terrorists are characterized in part by "anti-government," "anti-authority" or "abortion-related" extremism and various "supremacist" ideas. None of these terms are defined. The Marine Corps entrusts the government's HR department to figure that out.
Reporting requirements are key. Do you suspect someone supports an "extremist ideology?" Alert the chain of command. Have you heard a Marine express "contempt toward officials?" Notify the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Don't handle anything on your own. Just rat them out. . .

Terms are not defined? Just alert the chain of command?

Finally, on March 5, the Marine Corps released an official directive: no later than April 2, all "commanders and supervisors at all levels will conduct and document a leadership stand-down in order to address issues of extremism in the ranks." The commandant included a video with the directive, saying, "We must continuously strive to eliminate any division in our ranks."
We all know what that means: any dissension on any issue that Biden-appointed top brass says is racist, sexist or homophobic will not be tolerated.
There is no doubt as to where all this is headed. The Pentagon's swift and coordinated "smiting" of Tucker Carlson, who had the gall to "diss" the idea of sending pregnant women to war--an obviously absurd idea to all but the most politically correct officers grasping for a promotion--makes it very clear.
How did we get here? The truth is that today's military is running on the fumes of our vastly superior forefathers and the ever-shrinking proportion of each branch that still does truly heroic work and accomplishes truly extraordinary feats. The rest is a bloated military-industrial complex given over to Fortune 500-style corporate progressivism.
And if it's bad in the Marine Corps, imagine how much worse it is in the other services.
America's enemies are laughing at us. Frankly, we deserve it. But it doesn't need to be this way. . .

Glenn Reynolds:

In retrospect, encouraging advanced degrees as a step toward promotion was a mistake. Letting the enemies of your civilization educate your children and your soldiers turns out to be a bad move.

Earlier this month, Obama was deployed to make fun of Republicans concerned about Critical Race Theory. Christopher Rufo found a photo of Obama hugging Derrick Bell, the originator of CRT, back when Obama was in college. Of course, Obama countered many of the principles of CRT in the speech to the Democratic Convention which really got his political career going. Might be useful to bring out some Obama quotes from time to time when dealing with some CRT "wisdom".

Interestingly, in the press, particularly at MSNBC, they have been working hard to distance people like Kendi and DiAngelo from the founders of CRT.

13 Pigeon fanciers baffled as 5,000 birds vanish into thin air mid-race

AROUND five thousand homing pigeons in a single race appear to have vanished into thin air.

Some 9,000 set off from Peterborough, Cambs, on Saturday on a journey to the North East that should take no more than three hours - but over half were still missing last night.

"Most of the breeders I'm talking to are blaming the atmospheric
conditions - possibly a solar storm above the clouds that created static in the atmosphere - but no one really knows."

Saturday saw up to 250,000 birds released in some 50 races across Britain - with just ten per cent returning in the expected time and tens of thousand remaining unaccounted for in a Bermuda Triangle-style mystery.

Marx was a shiftless layabout who never held a job. Like, ever. But he knew everything there was to know about the "working class" and "capitalists". Because of course he did.

He survived by mooching off his equally-useless buddy, Engels, who had inherited a bunch of Dark Satanic Mills from his dad.

If he really does, and I've no idea what the guy's mindset is, that is a very serious and dangerous problem for the (white) civilian population here.

Under a "black" woman president a white insurrection is a volatile problem that needs to be put down quickly and with force. I'd say this is what the political class is preparing for.

48 Mornin'. I retired in 2012 from the Army in 2012 with five pretty much back-to-back visits to Iraq. I signed up for it and did what I supposed to do as well as I could do it and have no regrets about that. During the last tour in Iraq 2009-10, we were told that the SECDEF and Army CoS were gathering "authentic" feedback from the troops in the field regarding the end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. We knew it was bullshit then and they were going to do what they wanted no matter what. This isn't any different.

I went back in after a 10-year hiatus because I thought we ought to do something about 9-11. Wrong about that, but I knew from the start it was part of the Pax Americana and that "The primary purpose of the U.S. military is to protect the global economic status quo, sometimes known as the "neoliberal order" or "the Washington Consensus" speaks to.

I retired, went back to work, and have not missed one bit of it.

Nah, they just want to emasculate the military so it doesn't launch a coup. There is not going to be a gun confiscation regime, they know the Right will only use violence in *response* to violence, so they will not risk a Boston Massacre event that would justify a response from right.

We have taught the Left that we are reluctant to risk career and family to defend Liberty, so that's what they will use against us. In a non-violent way, like linking social credit (health care, college admission, business licenses, etc) to whether or not you are on the gun registration list. We will drive downtown to turn over our firearms to them.

They won't risk putting the military in the field to attack their own people. Too much risk that an infantry battalion will do a 180 and hit DC.

Good times.

I think it is clear now why he was unable to get that to happen. Everyone in the government and US military is woke and would never do anything against antifa (or BLM for that matter).

Every government institution in America -- including the US military -- has "leaders" who are on the side of antifa and BLM. Those two groups are the terrorist arm of the US Government.

I was detailed out. A lot , The Corps came up with this Human Relations Discussion Leader Program and I was sent to a class on it for a couple weeks. People running the class thought it BS, coming back the Training Officer thought it BS, and I thought it BS. I would give a class where the 5 minute break became 55 minutes and 5 minutes would be the class.

67 If we had a Republican party that actually cared, they'd publicly ask Miley if the DoD was preparing for armed conflict with their fellow citizens, given his recent comments about "white rage." I'd like to hear the answer to that. I presume if he's gung-ho on kicking off CW2 he'd say so. He doesn't appear to have a filter for his thoughts as it is.

68 At any rate, this is no longer really about Politics. It's about whether or not there is the will in some significant portion of us to not be returned to serfdom. Why should we resist? After all, serfdom brings about a comforting level of irresponsibility; it's worked for Democrats for a century and a half. Why should we resist? I'll defer to Frederick Douglass.

I find it amusing now that some of the same folks who cheered on putting women into front line fights, are now soooo against Transgenders in women's sports.

but then, putting Women and their fellow soldiers in danger didn't really affect them PERSONALLY, as most didn't know anyone actually serving... Now its THEIR daughter.

Someone should ask him how he expects to defeat "white rage" in America when the American military failed to defeat "brown rage" in Afghanistan for the past 2 decades.

I would also be interested in finding out what percentage of our military would obey orders from woke military "leaders" to fire on American citizens.

It is interesting to note that the military RoE state "do not fire unless fired upon". Yet, law enforcement -- whether police or FBI, etc -- do not operate that way. Law enforcement officers seem to be able to fire on someone they deem a "threat".

Case in point, the Capitol officer firing at and killing Ashli Babbitt.

In the standard sense of the word? No, no they don't.

They know the election was stolen, they know there were Antifa/BLM agents trying to stir up trouble, and they know that this was a pretty standard peaceful protest.
But...they understand this as a counter-revolutionary action, and they expected more. Frankly, there should have been a lot more - Gov Ball-less in Texas should have been calling for an independence referendum the moment the SC said election fraud was perfectly fine.

90 "There won't be any real ROE when they turn the guns on us."

It won't go down like that. Good thing too, because our "plan" is stupid:

1) retreat and give the Left all the time and space they need to destroy the Republic
2) wait for them, giving them the initiative to decide when the battle starts (after they have taken over everything else, do doubt)
3) and the best part, we've chosen the battlefield to be our own homes, right next to our kid's bedroom.

Brilliant.

But it won't happen that way - if you know your enemy will never strike first, you can arrange circumstances so they will never strike at all. They will not fight us where we want them to. So most of us will drive downtown to turn over our firearms to get off the Gun Registration List. They rest will flee to become refugees in hiding, whispering something about how "the Feds will rue the day!"

All because we refuse to strike first.

Yes, we're boxed in. If we don't begin organizing and communicating, the Left will cancel us for domestic terrorism. And if we talk about the need to organize and communicate, the right will cancel us for being FBI provocateurs.

End result is that not only are we not allowed to resist, we aren't even allowed to talk about resisting. Which suits the Deep State just fine.

146 I've never heard of Wilson Goode until today, and that's why you read the comments. Horde Immunity from stupidity and ignorance is a thing! How interesting that a black democrat mayor of a major Northern city sets his police force loose with C-4 to break up a bunch of anarchists...I would have thought that Oprah Winfrey would be anxious to get a mini-series ginned up about that. Killed 11? And the guy still ran for mayor again? Trump probably made him do it all, sort of proto-White Rage.

210 My worry about the state of english is coming to a middle.

So, I was checking out a review of a game (steam summer sale) and the writer used the word 'inculpate'. Now, when I read it, by context, I took him to mean 'incorporate.' However, I was pretty sure inculpate was a word, so I looked it up. Inculpate: accuse, blame, incriminate.

Usage in this sentence: Fortunately, the game inculpates everything you would desire that a Mad max game should be.

I give the writer full marks for trying to use a word I do not see all that often, but that was a huge whiff on meaning.

But, institutionally - the cops in Loudon County tackled and arrested a peaceful speaker exercising his First Amendment rights; a Capitol Police officer with a demonstrated history of racism shot and killed an unarmed demonstrator in the Capitol building with no provocation and no repercussions; the President openly threatens the American population with military action unless they abandon their constitution and what shreds of liberty are left to be had.

Key stat to watch for the Marines is 2nd enlistments by NCOs. It's relatively easy to make CPL in your first 4 year hitch (SGT if you are dumb enough to sign up for 6, like me).

But after that is Staff SGT. Which means you are dedicating the rest of your life to a career in the Marines. Some of our boys and girls are trapped until their 1st enlistment expires, will be interesting to see how many will re-up. I predict an exodus.

Most of us who joined the Marines come broken families and are looking for a Wolfpack to belong to. The crew of USS Enterprise is a good example of our ideal. You start throwing racial and gender divisiveness and all that falls apart.

But again, I think this is about emasculating the military so they don't go full coup when the marxists start sending mom and dad to the gulags for their thoughtcrimes.

229 This does bring up an interesting point as our military is going into its 21st year of engagement in Iraq and Afghanistan: How is it our service members are supposed to simultaneously accomodate/turn a blind eye to the way the locals, particularly the Taliban, treat women and children (forced child marriage, stonings, bacha bazi, etc.) but ALSO apply the CRT teachings that require them to identify as white oppressors, see themselves as needing to apologize for living the values of "white" America - which CRT has made synonymous with Western Civilization??

And really, why do other cultures get respect.a pass because "it's their culture: while "whites"/people of any race who lives by Western Civ values must apologize and abandon these values because they are "oppressors"?

After 2010 saw the tea party surge for "the real right", Mitch/McCain/GOPe purged the ranks and punished any Tea Party candidates that won. Now they are purging the lower ranks of the military, not to mention any cops that are not down with the struggle.

That isn't even an option for them. At least, not right now. At best they would relive him for cause and he'd be the first ever Marine to hold that post to have had that happen. Of course this would be incentive enough for weaker men to toe the line. I just didn't figure him to be that weaker man.

The previous commandant was still pushing this stuff after his recent retirement. My guess is that many of them have turned, or are sympathetic to this new cause, or that the incentives for personal gain are simply too great.

Either way, it signals total rot in the military.

312 Milley needs immediate removal for inserting the military in politics and allowing politics to flourish in the military. He has allowed for a dangerous precedent to occur. Quite frankly, I don't care if a socialist or a communist exists in the military as long as they choke on their insidious nonsense 24 hours a day, never uttering a single word of it to another and put mission first. He has become an enemy of a free and peaceful people.

314 what the point is of a vaccine if you can still catch and spread a pathogen.

No vaccine is 100% effective. None. The closest we've ever gotten was smallpox and that was only eradicated after several hundred years of vaccination efforts combined with the simultaneous global eradication program from easily located human vector populations.

So we are going to see cases in vaccinated person's, being a traditional vaccine structure or the utterly experimental versions.

I got the vaccine under threat of firing. Not happy about it but I'm old and going to be dead in a few years anyway so what the hell. No way are my kids getting vaccinated until we have a few years experience under our belt.

317 DeSantis or Trump, whoever the next R president is, needs to walk into the Pentagon Day 1 "Everybody with 2 or more starts, put in your retirement paperwork. It will be processed by next Friday. If you are a civilian and have any of the following words in your job title "Deputy", "Assistant", or "Under", clean out your desk. IF you are a GS14 or GS15, box up your shit." And immediately have the G6 cut off all computer access. And then every Monday morning, go to every Department (especially State) and make the same announcement. Then about March or April, announce MASSIVE transfers of all civil service employees. "Oh you've been here 12 years? Good, you're going to the Omaha office, they'll benefit from your experience. Don't want to transfer? Hope your resume is updated."

320 I'll repeat that I have been saying for some time

ALL our institutions are ROTTEN

yes, all the police, and yes, now most of the military

321 Probably willowed by now, but the lack of personnel has been an issue for many years. As with the Brits and French in their decline, we will increasingly use "colonials" to do the fighting. About 20 years ago, I was involved in a program called ACOTA -- Africa Contingency Operations Training and Assistance. We armed and trained African units for "peacekeeping" operations, after the abysmal performance of many of them under the UN. It worked. There was fundamentally no difference in the soldiers, NCOs, and officers in a Senegalese infantry battalion from a US infantry battalion, and in many ways they were better suited for peacekeeping in places like Darfur or Liberia. They just were less trained and poorly equipped. Those flaws can be fixed. The question is when we start deploying them from something like that, which is a natural use, to something completely unconnected. Could we be using African, South American, and Southeast Asian units in a future operation in Iran, for example? I would have said that was inconceivable 20 years ago, but now I start to wonder whether it would be the only option.

323 . The reason Americans don't react more to the present situation is that we remain the most free people on the planet by a long shot We haven't even begun to understand "usurpations" like our Founders did.

You have to be insane to believe that Americans are the most free people on the planet. To be run by a system whose representatives boast about exterminating you should make you question some of your core delusions.
Or you could just remain stupid.

324 191 One of Trumps failings was assuming Generals were on the Right and believed in preserving the Republic.
Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy at June 26, 2021 12:00 PM (5atWK)

This is true.Trump relied too much on people's credentials in organizations traditionally dominated by Patriots.

He is still the best president in my life, and I was born when Eisenhower was president.

I'm not criticizing you at all, but rather those on other sites who say things like, "Trump should have banned FB, Google, and Twitter the first day he took office, and canned everyone above the rank of Lieutenant!!!!"

It just doesn't work that way in the US, and we wouldn't want it to.

325 Out of China comes ..

"Tang Ping" or Chinese for "lying flat".
This is a movement in China that has the CCP scared.
It is the rejection of "996" or 9AM to 9PM 6 days a week.

This sounds like something Antifa could embrace.

327 It is all OK, in fact it is better than OK.
In any war the active duty contingent loses the most people inside the first few battles, then the reserves are called up after which if it's bad enough the draft will be re-instated.
All these woke LIFERS, Gay troops, Race haters and such will be in the first batch to meet the enemy on the battlefield and be decimated, that is if they don't surrender, mutiny first or simply desert.
The Russian's and Chinese are going to solve the CRT and Gay mafia in the current woke military.
