Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | James Lindsay: How I Left the Leftwing CultLindsay is a liberal and former Democrat. He now posts analyses of Critical Race Theory -- which he terms "Cynical Race Theory," because it's all about making unprincipled claims in order to extract concessions from other people. He's based now, though not based enough to actually declare himself a conservative -- still just a critic of the left, maintaining delusional hope that liberalism doesn't have to always wind up in the gulags and guillotines. He responded to someone posting about California and New York Democrats being unable, somehow, to connect their voting patterns to the failure, chaos, and misery seen in those states.Clint Russell James Lindsay, anti-CommunistDing ding ding. Democrat confidence in their knowledge base and intellectual firepower is extremely high. Their actual knowledge and brains, however, are shit. Pure shit. It's very much a case of knowing so little you believe you can know it all if you just memorize one short, trite, absurd sentence. Yup. Democrats are seized by the idea that they know everything because they're "smart." When it's pointed out they don't know everything, and in fact know very little, they get extremely angry and begin calling you racist. They're right because they're smart and when you ask what evidence they have that they're smart, they'll say they're smart because they believe so many things which are right. They're right because they're smart, and they're smart because they're right. Q.E.D.
Important point: Leftists are conditioned, and indeed condition themselves, to stop any line of thinking or questioning which might cause their foundational dogmas to be undermined. Whenever they find themselves beginning to have Wrongthoughts, they castigate themselves for "racist thinking" or whatever and stop the inquiry. This self-enforced system of "taboos" keeps most leftists from ever thinking their way out of the cult: You also shouldn't think too much about any line of thought that might break you out, so the taboo factor is extremely high. These roadblocks to understanding are enforced by moral extortion and thought-terminating cliches, also supplied by the media. "That's transphobaracist," e.g., or "trans rights are human rights." Your Leftist social circle (circus?) intuits and suffers these same taboos and has the same cliches, so you live keenly aware people won't like you (for "good" reason) if you hold deviant opinions. Plus, those aren't "smart." The NYT and the Atlantic (so, the Leftist propaganda) are "smart." Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

JUST IN: A former student of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz exposes how much he secretly worships the Communist Chinese. “It was almost a daily revelation of how much he adores the communist regime." The student told @AlphaNewsMN that Walz is actually a communist who loves the CCP. “There was no doubt he was a true believer,” a student named Shad said. “I’ve been trying to tell people this for 30 years. Nobody wanted to listen." “At night, we’d go out, we’d walk the street fairs. We’d be buying souvenirs and Tim was always buying the little red book. He said he gave them as gifts … I saw him buy at least a dozen on the trip,” he said. Posted by: andycanuck (c39uV) at August 19, 2024 06:25 PM (c39uV) 48

The Little Red Book was a famous propaganda pamphlet written by mass murdering Chinese Communist Mao Tse-Tung. “It would be like in Germany and buying copies of Mein Kampf,” the student told Alpha News. “If there was any doubt about what I’m saying just look at the policies enacted by his administration like the country’s worst abortion law, anti-free speech, the riots,” Shad pointed out. “He’s a Maoist to the core and should not be underestimated.” “People need to have their eyes wide open,” Shad said. “The snitch hotline in Minnesota is straight out of CCP.

After this young voter lists off Kamala's stealing of Trump’s ideas and her lying, the DNC activist Raddatz concludes: "There was just no convincing her otherwise."

All this is why I constantly give Lindsay a pass.
He's come a ways, and pervasive ideas can be hard to rid all at once. I've posted to him that saying your "classical" anything, kinda sounds like you're conservative as well. If you have to specify old-style, you're trying, at least, to conserve something. And also, my construction of "liberal", which he thinks is "stupid", reflects on my life watching a more-or-less consistent group of people and how they developed as self-described "liberals". Freedom is good. But the urge for more freedom can be mistaken for hatred of any limitations, including common sense and practice. Like I said, I give him slack.

I have liberal friends who I love dearly and who helped me a couple of years ago when I had heart issues. Their hatred of Trump and the fact that they and their families have always voted D , blinds them to the batshit insanity of the Dem left. Suggest their voting for communists, the response is a variation of "Trump is a convict"

You trundle along as a leftist telling yourself you're not a leftist you're just smart.
Then one day you say the wrong fucking thing to fellow leftists and they tell you you aren't a good person, and begin forcing you back into line. And you either keep your nerve and spine and realize for the first time ever that you are laying down with fleas, or you apologize and capitulate and become happy you can "join them" again, ready to beat down the next person that steps out of line.

We got to see the grandson before he left for college this weekend. Now that he is all set, focus is on his younger sister, a HS junior this year.
She would be a dream applicant, except as he pointed out, she has two points against her- 'She's white and she's straight." Thinking it over, I don't know why I was surprised that they understand DEI, at least at the college admissions level. Posted by: sal at August 19, 2024 06:33 PM (0w7qT) I went to college before the 80s and we knew all the current rules by heart. You had to if you needed scholarships. I'm sure it is far worse now. There are at least 10 pronouns you can pick to hide the latter without being to bent. Bi is the easiest if you don't date chicks. If she has an exotic look you could try claiming to be Indian (any flavor) or some other non-colonizer. Hang in the library and she might escape if she's strong willed.

This Lindsay guy is absolutely on point. He could be describing the leftard voters with whom I engage.
They rely on slogans. They're utterly uninformed when it comes to backing up the slogans with actual data. Yet they think they're well-informed because they watch CNN and CBS and they read the L.A. Times. It's astounding to me to hear what these people are do not know. Biden's senility in the debate was a complete stunner. They never heard about what Hunter does for a living and never heard of his laptop. They have no clue that the Biden Admin supports Iraq and finances its terrorism. They don't know that Biden shut down oil leases on federal land. They can't figure out why crime is out of control and retail locations are closing up shop in the big cities. They know nothing about what their fem-hero Margaret Sanger wrote about eugenics and race. Yet they know conservatives are yucky and probably racist and they'll never vote for Trump.

"They're right because they're smart and when you ask what evidence they have that they're smart, they'll say they're smart because they believe so many things which are right."
There are many would-be public intellectuals that think this way. They may have substantial success in a field where you really need brains and drive to be successful, and because you now have a platform; say, an NYU professorship as well as a popular podcast you think you can opine on areas that are substantially outside your area of expertise. Case in point: Scott Galloway. He's super-successful and has real expertise in marketing. He is very insightful on brands and board dynamics (public and private). He's honest about the value of work, and justifiably grateful to the UC system for setting him up for success. I understand why he's liberal, but his latest missive about Trump and jail is not only unhinged, but frankly stupid. I respect him, so I was actually nice in the comments, but he's still an idiot.

When I was in Grad school there was a journal we got free as students on Physics matters and as this was Star Wars day there was a letter written by a group of professors about Missile Defense. They waved off interceptors saying the warheads could just have ARMOR PLATE added to them. You don't have to have much physics knowledge to know that adding tons of armor and trying to send it to space and hit Russia would be impossible for any realistic rocket to launch.

Actually this not a Bad Thing based on whom are taking advantage of this service.... Abortion and vasectomy services sold out on a street corner down the road from the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC), offered free of charge by the local Planned Parenthood chapter in Chicago. Ahead of the DNC's kickoff, Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which serves much of Missouri and a sliver of southern Illinois, announced over the weekend that all free drug-induced abortion and vasectomy appointments are already filled at its "mobile health clinic," which will be parked blocks away from the convention center.

I am quite skeptical that NV will be a Kamalalaladingdong state.
Lots of “new” California residents who have moved to Northern NV the last 3-4 years. I think most are quite aware of why they left Cali. I don’t see a lot of Kamala signs. Nevada has been Californicated but I suspect they don’t want to see NV or our country go the way of Commiefornia. We elected a Republ governor but our SOS is Dem. I think Clark. County had to remove some inactive voters recently. If I had to bet, I would say Trump wins by 3 points but the chest factor is big in Clark County.

Most people are not stupid, but they are incapable of logical thought. They think the way they do because (a) it feels right, (b) they were told by people on TV to think this way, (c) it is to their advantage, and/or (d) it gives them the right social position. Trying to figure out the logic behind Lefties is like trying to trying to understand why a dog returns to its own vomit. Posted by: Guy who knew natron at August 19, 2024 07:18 PM (+XDJC) 234

Brown vs BOE 1956In 1955, Schaffer writes, there were 400,000 members of public employee unions in the U.S. By the 1970s, the number had risen tenfold, to more than 4 million. The sudden advent of public-sector unionism was partly a product of legal changes. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order allowing federal workers to unionize, and some states and cities followed suit. Swann v.

It's always a little risky to link James Lindsay's tweets, because he gets in Twitter fights. But this is the one on which Ace's post is based:
https://tinyurl.com/2s439war His Twitter feed sometimes does warn anti-leftists (conservatives especially) of traps they could be falling into, based on the political strategies of the left. His New Discourses website is much safer to link. The "Translations from the Wokish" are excellent. He goes directly to the leftist sources, then provides commentary. https://tinyurl.com/d78rnekd Posted by: KT at August 19, 2024 08:19 PM (xekrU) 244
Thanks for the source material KT. I apologize for being late here but I wrong side out in the world.
I want to add, if no one has already, that there are a number of blue cities in solid red states. Those cities are good places to live because they benefit from both systems. Cities like Austin have generous blue model benefits for residents: parks, schools, universities, etc, with the tax base, low corruption, and law and order of red states. That is of benefit to those who want to maintain the blue model because it reinforces the idea that "failed socialism isn't true socialism" because just look at us in Green Hills, Forest Hills, Oak Hill (well to do liberal Nashville suburbs) and so forth. I find the history of affluent neighborhoods to be super interesting. They typically don't start out as affluent. Posted by: meh at August 19, 2024 09:17 PM (XzRaz) 245
You are right, Ace. I am reading Cynical Theories right now, and it explains everything I "learned" in my master's program in critical theory, and why it's important and how it started.
