A White Feminist "Professor of Culture" Competed in the Olympics Breakdancing Competition to Destroy the Patriarchy and the Patriarchy Hasn't Stopped Laughing Since

Her big move was "The Funky T-Rex."

Sarah Fields
@SarahisCensored

She got zero points.

But we're not allowed to criticize her because it makes her cry. Perhaps if her family and friends had been honest with her, she would not have globally humiliated herself.

trexraygun.jpg

Criticizing her for being completely unskilled at an event she somehow bluffed her way into competing in at the Olympics is "sexism," and that's the only possible explanation.

Her defender, below, says that "eight years ago she was locked in a room crying being involved in a male-dominated sport as the only woman."

So she was just put on the team to boost her self-esteem? As a balm for her head-case problems?

The defender also objects to "judgment" being shown towards "Raygun's" Olympic performance. Spoiler alert: Judgement is the whole point of a competition which is scored by, get this, judges.

Below: She's as bad as academic research as she is at breakdancing. She wrote a paper on "Deterritorializing Gender in the Breakdancing Community."

"Deterritorializing Gender?" That's worse than her T-Rex and Kangaroo Hop moves.

There are women breakdancers in Australia, and they're all better than this SJW Feminist Crusader and Closet-Weeper. She was picked for the team for political reasons.

So how did this happen? This account claims it has the story.

Autism Capital 🧩
@AutismCapital
The story of how the Australian women's breakdancer, Rachael "Raygun" Gunn, who scored a literal 0 in the Olympics is fascinating. How did she get there?

TLDR: The Olympics outsourced the breakdancing qualifications to a third party called the WorldDance Sport Federation who didn't know anything about breakdancing, they wanted to do Ballroom Dancing. The Olympics said NO to Ballroom, so WorldDance said FINE we'll oversee Breakdancing instead.

WorldDance didn't know anything about Breakdancing so THEY outsourced to other smaller orgs local to the country, in the case of Australia, an organization called the Australian Breaking Association which was FOUNDED by Raygun and her husband. Who advised them to partner with this org? Rachael Gunn.

Starting to see it?

The Australian Breaking Association (AusBreak) runs a competition every year that only has 10-15 women show up, and obviously Rachael "wins" this and her husband becomes the team coach.

Basically, Rachael elects herself as the Australian Olympic breakdancing rep, and the rest history.

A nice fat 0 for the history books.

He means: She scored zero points in all three of her breakdance competitions.


"Raygun's" bizarro Interpretive Dance version of "Breakdancing" has spurred a lot of parodies.

"Raygun" has inspired women to follow her brave example:

Goes beyond that. Assuming that she didn't choke and just flub the execution - that is, assuming that she's bad and always has been and everyone around her knew it - the failure goes further. Family and friends not giving you reality's pimp hand is fairly common and explicable. Coaches, coordinators, judges, etc. - the ostensible professionals sitting between any Jane or John Q. Public and an event like the Olympics - failing to do so is indicative of a deeper problem.

Thinks started to go downhill after 1999 (when Hastert was installed) but if you really want to pin when the rails came off I'd say shortly after Barky's re-election in 2013.

Everyone assumed that he'd get bounced and an R would start guiding things back to normal but Mitt Romneycare lost the race on purpose and Obama and his people decided they were the people they'd been waiting for and this was the moment.

Right after Obama got elected they started with the "accelerated news cycle". Around March of 2009. I pointed it out on these very pages. That was a big part of it. You may not remember when the news was one big story at a time.

What they did was spin us dizzy so we didn't know what to focus on. Lots and lots of stray voltage. Lots of stories. Too many to count. All infuriating and demoralizing.

All the stuff we talked about (like the foregone conclusion of the ObamaCare "battle") was in front of us, while the stuff they were really up to - like colonizing intelligence and the military - was happening behind the scenes.

382 OT -- I urge everyone to watch the Tucker interview of Geoff Shepard. It is nominally about Watergate, and he goes into a lot of interesting detail, but it is fascinating because this is the template they used in the Trump impeachments and J6 committee, and this is (IMHO) the start of the gov. weaponized deep state which led to the whole of gov. strategy we are all fighting. Kennedy corrupted the upper echelons of the state and seeded it with people willing to break every law for power.

On the Watergate issue, Geoff does not give support Tucker's CIA theory and instead puts the blame on Liddy's reckless ambition. But in doing this he really shows how the IC, Dems, and deep state worked together to create "lawfare," including selective prosecution, misapplication of law, media manipulation and coordination, and abject violation of rights by manipulating jurisdiction and rules (such as how appeals and Grand Juries are handled.) These monsters created the disease like some Fauci funded wuhan chink mixing genomes in a lab, and our republic will never shake this long covid.

I like Tucker but the current issues with State/DOJ/FBI/CI/DOD is all due to Obama - he had eight years to insert his minions - and he did. He had tons of help, no doubt - policy liberals and congressional dems staffers that had been there 20 years - but he put the two and three tiered government GS management state in place. It will take a lot to root it out at this point. But it didn't start with Reagon and Bush - I was there, and it was not what is going on today - it's much worse.

I agree with the Nixon hate on ideological grounds but I don't think anyone at the time really thought this would be enough to take down the President, least of all him. So he was not really being loyal for loyalty's sake, he was being loyal to refute the impression that this was a big deal and that it required all the drama the dems had created. After all, bugging opposition was a time honored tradition at that time.

There's a story "Slips take Over" where a guy gets called aside and is told that he's slipped into a parallel dimension. The man who did so said he slipped himself, and looks out for them once he made his fortune with some patents from his original timeline. Gives him a card, since the protagonist doesn't believe him. Then he starts seeing more evidence, does some research and is convinced and calls the number.

But it doesn't work, since he had slipped again.
