The Antifa Playbook

     By now, it is beyond clear that the riots and “revolutionary actions” are anything but “spontaneous”. Street reporter Andy Ngô archived a Twitter thread by “CrimethInc.” listing a plethora of links to information.

     In order to preserve not just the links themselves, but the content of those links as evidence, your humble author has archived that content at two different archival services.

     Links to the content:

As the election looms along with the potential of street conflict, here’s a thread listing an array of informative guides. Let’s review everything we’ve learned over the past several years.

Belated And Surprisingly Chill Election Aftermath—Despite The Cries Of A “Coup”

     So, despite being fairly accurate in midterms, but after overestimating Republican chances in 2012 and underestimating Republican chances in 2016, how did your humble author do in 2020? Fairly well. And no, there is no “coup”, either from the “Deep State/Stonecutters” or “Führer Drumpf”.

     The most likely scenario did indeed give Biden a win, but underestimated the final Electoral College count, according to the veritable Decision Desk HQ. Your humble author considered a 291-247 Electoral College win the most likely, with Biden sweeping the rust belts states Trump flipped that George W. Bush couldn’t (Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan), as well as Arizona, which has been trending towards the Democrats along with the rest of the Southwest. However, your humble author considered a 306-232 win for Biden to be almost as likely; the main differential between the prediction and the final results is that Trump kept the Elector from Maine’s 2nd district and kept North Carolina while losing Georgia. Biden won the Electoral college with fewer votes across three states than Trump in 2016 did: ca 43,000 votes across Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona in 2016 vs. 78,000 across Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in 2020.   However, Biden increased his relative lead compared to Hillary Clinton with an outright majority in the popular vote that Hillary couldn’t achieve.

     Down ballot, the Republicans did better than your humble author predicted, in large part due to a higher than expected willingness of anti-Trump/pro-GOP voters to split the ballot, or an unwillingness of many Biden voters to vote for increasingly and openly hardcore Leftist Democratic party. In North Carolina, Tillis was able to eek out a win in North Carolina proving that his opponents dalliances didn’t come to light to late to matter.   In Maine, Collins was able to get enough vote to avoid the run-off system that has been established in Maine, demonstrating that some Republicans still have and can run on their own brand, independent of the top of the ticket. The Georgia races are yet to be determined, with both unsurprisingly going to a January run-off.

     In the House of Representatives, the GOP did indeed see a “dead cat bounce” in the House winning many seats lost in 2018. But the GOP did better than almost everyone else thought and as of the writing of this article won at least 208 seats while leading in an additional 5. This leaves the Democrats with a narrow five vote margin in the House, which could easily lead to the GOP picking up the chamber in 2022 due to the GOP also doing well in legislative races including picking up new trifectas in New Hampshire and Alaska by picking up legislative chambers and Montana by picking up the Governorship, while the GOP lost no legislative chamber they did not already hold.

Antiracist Baby

     The teaching of “wokeness” isn’t just for woke 8-year-olds anymore, with children younger and younger being targeted. The ABC board book for toddlers entitled “A is for Activist” is one already covered example that is still being sold. But there are many others, including one written by Ibram X. Keni entitled “Antiracist Baby”. Some of the pages which make it clear that “antiracism” is just as, if not more than, race obsessed as the “racism” is is meant to fight.

Woke Racebending

     One of the big ballyhoos in Hollywood is the fight over “racebending”, which is the casting of a character of a certain racial background with an actor or actress of a different racial background. The casting in the movie “The Last Airbender” of a character based off of Asian history/culture originally voiced by a White voice actor by a White kid (who nonetheless did kinda look like the cartoon character).

     Of course, “racebending” is only considered evil if a White person plays a non-White character (which is considered Whitewashing), but considered a form of Social Justice if a non-White person plays a “White” character. For most fictional stories, one’s race isn’t that big of a deal, worth considering only in regards to accuracy to the historical setting for non-fiction based stories or adherence to source material if it is relevant.   Even then, it’s usually not the big of a deal, such as an Asian actor playing the Scooby-Doo character of Velma or Samuel L. Jackson playing the character of Nick Fury, because the racial angel isn’t the big of a deal. Of course, many of those who praise a Black woman playing Cinderella, which was a European fairy tail, would go apoplectic if a blonde haired White Guy played Momotaro, from Japanese forklore.

     But what about actual historical figures? John Wayne is condemned for playing a Mongol, despite use of make-up. Would, for example, a Black female be condemned for playing an actual historical figure who we know to be White, resulting in similar complaints?

     Not if you are Jodie Turner-Smith set to play Anne Boleyn.

“Black British actor Jodie Turner-Smith is to play Anne Boleyn, wife of English King Henry VIII whom he had beheaded, in a three-part psychological thriller commissioned by TV station Channel 5.

“Anne, the second wife of Henry VIII and mother of Elizabeth I, was executed in 1536 at the Tower of London after falling out of favour with the Tudor king and losing a battle at court with enemies such as Thomas Cromwell.”

Pictured: Typical 16th Century Northern European Queen, according to the U.K.’s “Channel 5”.

     Will she be wearing make-up to appear “White” like Paul Muni playing Wang Lung in the film adaptation of “The Good Earth” or Rex Harrison in “Anna and the King of Siam”? Or will this just be another example where “historical accuracy” as an excuse is tossed aside, such as with Sophie Okonedo in “The Hollow Crown”. If a Black woman is the “best actress” to play a historical White character, then why can’t a White actor or actress be the best choice to play a non-White roll?

     Is this just going to be another addition to attempts to “de-Whitify” European history by denying people who are White a “history” and “culture” of their own by portraying European history as a racial rainbow of diversity, while hypocritically segregating and isolating out other cultures from White actors or actresses in the name of “historical accuracy” or protecting said cultures from some type of modern-day “White colonialism”?

Berkeley Professor Supports Book Burning

     An English Professor at the University of California, Berkeley—who of course specializes in, in part, Critical Theory and Gender & Sexuality Studies—has come out lauding that liberal value of … book theft and book burning.

Pictured: A typical day on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley.

     And just what is the justification? That is it like a “contaminated idea” akin to a “contaminated crop” that can be stolen and burned. Why?   Because said Professor invokes the Karl Marx’s concept of “alienated labor” and it’s OK to burn the book (or presumably any commodity waiting to be sold) because the people who physically put the book together don’t own the books.

When Everyone Is White

     Apparently “White Supremacy” is so oppressive because “Whiteness” is so… inclusive and diverse.

     That’s a funny “supremacy” that seeks to include more and more people within it. We are told over and over again that “White Supremacy” set up “systems of oppression” that exists to benefit “Whites” with unearned privilege by oppressing others… yet this clever scheme also wants to dilute that “unearned privilege” by including people in it!

     Or maybe, juuust maybe, American society at its core isn’t racist.

Corona-chan Brings Communism To Los Angeles

     Does it come to anyone’s surprise that Corona-chan, AKA Xinnie the Flu’s Wuhan Bat Soup Death Plague Bio-weapon of DOOM (with sprinkles*), brought not only the COVID-19 pandemic but outright “workers of the world” uniting… or at least in Los Angeles County.

“The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday, Nov. 10, to create worker-run public health councils in an attempt to stem the spread of the coronavirus in work environments.

“‘This is an all-hands-on-deck moment and I’m proud that L.A. County is launching this first-in-the-nation program,’ said Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, who authored the motion.

“…

“The idea of workplace monitors was first floated by Kuehl and Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas in July. Since then, county staffers have been meeting with business and labor groups, and acting CEO Fesia Davenport has been trying to identify funding for the program.

“County health workers will partner with certified worker organizations to support employees who want to form councils and train them on protocols so they can help monitor compliance. Participation is voluntary.”

     So, outright literal soviets are being put together by the County of Los Angeles to monitor and control the workplace. It’s limited to coronavirus concerns for now and is voluntary for now.   And once the pandemic is over?   They’ll likely still be around and used as the springboard for union thugs and other assorted power brokers to perpetually stomp on the face of small businesses.
