Soviet Ape-men vs. Catgirl Nuns

Posted on March 23, 2018 by The Political Hat

     There has been yet another call to create human-animal hybrids, or demi-humans, a reality, calling it an imperative:

“It is a bit of a stretch, but by no means impossible or even unlikely that a hybrid or a chimera combining a human being and a chimpanzee could be produced in a laboratory. After all, human and chimp (or bonobo) share, by most estimates, roughly 99 percent of their nuclear DNA. Granted this 1 percent difference presumably involves some key alleles, the new gene-editing tool CRISPR offers the prospect (for some, the nightmare) of adding and deleting targeted genes as desired. As a result, it is not unreasonable to foresee the possibility—eventually, perhaps, the likelihood—of producing ‘humanzees’ or ‘chimphumans.’ Such an individual would not be an exact equal-parts-of-each combination, but would be neither human nor chimp: rather, something in between.

“If that prospect isn’t shocking enough, here is an even more controversial suggestion: Doing so would be a terrific idea.”

     While creating human-animal hybrids, or demi-humans, with a bonobo would be simpler than with other animals, it would nonetheless mean that we are one step closer to creating catgirls for domestic ownership!

     That, and mad science is always heartily endorsed here. But is this being proposed for the sake of (mad) science?

     Nope.

“In any event, the nonsensical insistence that human beings are uniquely created in God’s image and endowed with a soul, whereas other living things are mere brutes has not only permitted but encouraged an attitude toward the natural world in general and other animals in particular that has been at best indifferent and more often, downright antagonistic, jingoistic, and in many cases, intolerably cruel. It is only because of this self-serving myth that some people have been able to justify keeping other animals in such hideous conditions as factory farms in which they are literally unable to turn around, not to mention prevented from experiencing anything approaching a fulfilling life. It is only because of this self-serving myth that some people accord the embryos of Homo sapiens a special place as persons-in-waiting, magically endowed with a notable humanity that entitles them to special legal and moral consideration unavailable to our nonhuman kin. It is only because of this self-serving myth that many people have been able to deny the screamingly evident evolutionary connectedness between themselves and other life forms.”

     If this sounds familiar, it is because Soviet scientist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov already tried to make ape-human hybrids, a fact that the author of “The Case for Making Chimp-Humans” points out approvingly. In both cases the desire is to disprove the existence of God and/or souls. (Pro-tip, that isn’t how the entire “Soul” thing works…).

     Would that really disprove God and/or souls? Would we really create an atheistic army of ape-men/women to totally smash religion? Or perhaps the result would be the complete opposite…

Quick Takes – Woke Sexuality: Problematic DNA; Problematic Sperm; Problematic F**king

Posted on March 22, 2018 by The Political Hat

     Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: Mother Nature is an oppressive b***h.

     First, a little bit of mood music:

     Carrying on…

     Remember how eugenics was once the concern of Progressives? It’s the concern of Progressives again!

” A new opinion piece in a Texas State University student newspaper tells white students, ‘Your DNA is an Abomination.’

“‘When I think of all the white people I have ever encountered – whether they’ve been professors, peers, lovers, friend, police officers, et cetera – there is perhaps only a dozen I would consider “decent,”‘ student author Rudy Martinez writes in the University Star.

“…

” The editorial concludes: ‘Whiteness will be over because we want it to be. And when it dies, there will be millions of cultural zombies aimlessly wandering across a vastly changed landscape. Ontologically speaking, white death will mean liberation for all… Until then, remember this: I hate you because you shouldn’t exist. You are both the dominant apparatus on the planet and the void in which all other cultures, upon meeting you, die.'”

The Netherlands Accelerates Down The Euthanasia Slippery Slope

Posted on March 21, 2018 by The Political Hat

     The Netherlands has long been at the forefront of implementing homicide as medicine. Their zealotry has been well documented, including killing to “cure” ennui and loneliness, or even against struggling patients who don’t actually want to die. The normalization of involuntary euthanasia proves that the promise that euthanasia was only to be used only if the patient is in intense pain at the end of their life and that the patient is in their right mind capable of giving consent is, and always was, a murderous lie.

     Now the Netherlands is proving yet again how willing they are to outright execute people who are not dying, not in physical pain, and not capable of giving their consent:

“[In 2017,] [t]hree patients were in the advanced stage of dementia and 166 were in earlier stages.

“In 83 cases, the patient was suffering from severe psychiatric issues, a trend which has raised questions among psychiatrists”.

The Normalization of Rape Gangs

Posted on March 19, 2018 by The Political Hat

     The first “rape gang” uncovered in England, Rotherham, shocked people. Since then rape gangs in Birmingham, Rochdale, Huddersfield, and Oxford, amongst others, has highlighted the question: Is there any city in England not infested with Rape Gangs?

     With one of the biggest rape gangs yet in Telford being uncovered, the answer is increasingly appearing to be “NO”.

     Up to one thousand girls were raped, prostituted, and in some cases even kill, with victims as young as 11. All this in a city with ca 170,000 people. An investigation by British newspaper The Mirror found:

  • Social workers knew of abuse in the 1990s but police took a decade to launch a probe
  • Council staff viewed abused and trafficked children as “prostitutes” instead of victims, according to previously unseen files
  • Authorities failed to keep details of abusers from Asian communities for fear of “racism”
  • Police failed to investigate one recent case five times until an MP intervened
  • One victim said cops tried to stop her finding out why her abusers had not been prosecuted because they feared she would talk to us

     The most frightening part of this is that, yet again, the authorities tried to cover it up, in effect helping silence the victims thus helping the rape gangs rape, with authorities going so far to simply dismiss this as prostitution or saying that it was all “consensual“. Perhaps even more ominous is that they began by targeting a local children’s home. And all this in order to not be accused of an even great sin in modern day Britain: The accusation of “racism“.

Obamacare: Decreasing the Surplus Population

Posted on March 16, 2018 by The Political Hat

     Remember how Obamacare (i.e. the misnamed “Affordable Care Act”) was supposed to make sure that those who needed medical attention would be able to get it? Turns out that it did the opposite and helped make the situation worse.

“Medicaid expansion under Obamacare has contributed to bloated enrollment waiting lists for disabled individuals, according to a new report. Many of those on the lists die waiting as funding goes toward coverage for thousands of able-bodied — and sometimes fraudulent — Medicaid recipients, the Foundation for Government Accountability said.

“The research focused on individuals who receive home and community-based, or HBCS, waivers. These are people with severe intellectual or mental disabilities, brain or spinal cord injuries, and other debilitating conditions.

“States can limit enrollment into the HCBS waiver program, and once the cap is reached, individuals get placed on waiting lists — where they may be waiting for years to receive care for their disabilities without being institutionalized.

“Nicholas Horton, research director for the FGA, said the funding that Medicaid expansion has funneled toward able-bodied, non-working recipients causes states to limit the number of HCBS waivers, which causes the long waits for those disabled patients.”

     This is basically becoming a nouveau version of Action T4 in effect if not in form.

Death, Rx

     The selling point of socialized medicine, much like touted for Obamacare, was a promise that you’d get life-saving treatment you’d otherwise be denied. Pro-tip: If you’re put on government waiting lists, and especially when there is no private alternative, you are not getting the life-saving treatment the government promised to you as a “right”.

     That, as with socialism in general, is a lie.

Caesar:
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue shriller than all the music
Cry “Caesar!” Speak, Caesar is turn’d to hear.

Soothsayer:
Beware the ides of March.

Caesar:
What man is that?

Brutus:
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

The New Social Justice Woke Term: Misia

Posted on March 14, 2018 by The Political Hat

     Or, to be more accurate, a new suffix, “-misia”, to replace the over used “-phobia” suffix used in terms like “trans-phobe” or “homo-phobe”.

     Where did this new linguistic wokeness come from?

     From where it always comes: Academia.

“You may be wondering why our guide uses the suffix ‘misia’ instead of the suffix ‘phobia.’ If you’ve not encountered ‘misia’ language before, you may also be wondering what it means. Well never fear! We are more than happy to explain this relatively new shift in language.

“The suffix ‘phobia’ comes from the Greek word for ‘fear of,’ and so it denotes an intense aversion to the part of the word that precedes it (e.g. arachnophobia is a fear of spiders). Words like ‘homophobia’ or ‘Islamophobia’ are pretty recognizable, and most folks understand them to mean a position or perspective that is prejudicial and discriminatory against LGBTQIA+ identities and the religion of Islam respectively.

“The problem with using ‘phobia’ terms as labels for prejudice is that there are folks who actually have phobias (real anxiety disorders in which someone experiences intense anxiety or fear that they’re unable to control—Claustraphobia, for instance). So when we use terms like ‘homophobia,’ we are equating bigotry with a mental health disorder, which does several problematic things:

  • It relies on and reinforces the harmful stigma against mental illness (see the Anti-Ableism and Anti-Sanism tabs to learn more);
  • It inaccurately attributes oppression and oppressive attitudes to fear rather than to hate and bigotry;
  • It removes the accountability of an oppressive person by implying their actions and attitudes are outside their control.

“So since labeling oppression with ‘phobia’ suffixes is harmful, many folks are exchanging them for “misia” suffixes instead. Misia (pronounced ‘miz-eeya’) comes from the Greek word for hate or hatred, so similar to how Islamophobia means “fear of Islam,” the more accurate Islamomisia means ‘hatred of Islam.’

“For these reasons, our guide will be using ‘misia’ language in place of ‘phobia’ in an effort to be as accurate, clear, and inclusive as possible.”

     That’s right, saying “homophobia” is now triggering and oppressive to the point were we must continue to reinvent the language in order not to offend anyone (aside from the Kyriarchy, of course).

     Surprisingly, they are admitting that opposition does not necessarily stem from fear. However, this also means that a “phobe” is now a “misic”, increasing their guilt for the sin of opposing “social justice”.
