If a special little snowflake can be anything yt wants to be, yt just as well be a sparkly gem:

Apparently, your being White or not is determined by what language your grandparents spoke.
Interestingly enough, this means that most Blacks in America, whose grandparents spoke English, are actually White. This would also mean that your humble narrator isn’t.

How do you take a strong and thriving civilization built on the rule of law, destroy it, and substitute your utopia ex nihilo but dystopia de facto? Simply this:
“Here lies a toppled god–
His fall was not a small one.
We did but build his pedestal,
A narrow and a tall one.”
—Tleilaxu Epigram
Myths are the simple narratives that set the tone for the greater truths of society. They hold deeper truths that are communicated easily.
“A myth, as originally used, was created as a teaching tool or to explain something otherwise unexplainable. It was the substructure, the basic linen upon which the embroidery of a culture’s world view was sewn. It’s necessary, and it’s necessary to understand the myths and the truths they hold, to understand the culture. Understand the myths of the samurai, and you understand the culture of imperial Nippon, and so on…”
However, if you destroy those myths, then is becomes easy to demonize society because you’ve weekend, if not severed, the connection between people and their deeper cultural inheritance. And before you know it:
“The enemy isn’t ‘at the gates’, they’re through the third wall and working hard on the last redoubts.”

Bill Frezza chats with Daniel Hannan, MEP, about the coming 800th anniversary of the Magna Charta, and how it helped form the basis for “ordered liberty, individual autonomy, and common law as opposed to state-led control.”
News of the Week for April 19th, 2015
The following pearl of wisdom comes to you via Ace of Spades HQ commentator MWR. Fair Warning: There is cursing… a lot of cursing…
“Student reactions have clearly articulated that this is neither the venue nor the time to show this movie,” the statement read. “We deeply regret causing harm to members of our community, and appreciate the thoughtful feedback provided to us by students.”
WARNING: Prepare for an MWR rant. It will contain profanity. Advertisers, I apologize – I’ve tried to be good.
The other week I went on something of a rant on Twitter about how I’m sick of these lily-livered little campus snowflakes using the English language to call something violent which is not violence.
This bullshit statement has just exploded my rage meter.
“We deeply regret causing harm to members of our community-”
FUCK THE EVER-LOVING BULLSHIT OUT OF YOU, you worthless slags and pussy-mouthed assclowns. NO ONE has been g-ddamned “harmed” by this SJW weepfest contrived by the oh-so-delicate flowers who have emerged from the fecund shit heap that is Millennial education. GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER, you mewling whorefaced little shitdemons.
You know who WAS harmed? Chris Kyle. That’s right, the American hero whose story is portrayed in “American Sniper.” Oh, you don’t want to call him a hero, you diarrhea-drenched bitch maggots? You want to call him a murderer, or a psychopath, or *GASP!* a white heterosexual male (OH THE HORROR!)? You want to say that the portrayal of Muslims and Arabs in the movie is “negative” and “culturally insensitive” and makes your poor little bladders leak because you feel “unsafe”? Not by the fact that those “culturally insensitive” Muslims and Arabs actually exist, but because – let me try and write this without punching something – because you don’t want to be faced with the truth.
You know what? FUCK. YOU.
Chris Kyle went to war. He killed people in that war. You know why? So that those filthy jihadis he killed wouldn’t come over here and murder YOU in your g-ddamned dorm rooms, surrounded by your bongs and “HOPE AND CHANGE” signs and free trade bohemian bracelets made by Shaolin nuns, or whatever other bullshit you keep close at hand to make you feel like your lives are worth a tinker’s damn. Kyle went to war so that some ululating lunatic wouldn’t invade your precious “safe spaces” and saw off your head with a dull knife, spilling your dainty, delicate blood all over your Play-Doh and staining your bedazzled dream journals claret. So that you in your sanctimonious toddler voices could have the OPPORTUNITY to call him a murderer and a psychopath, though if there were any true righteousness in this world every one of you who’s dared say such a thing would have your tongues turned to slabs of lead for speaking such filthy lies.
You little shitstains don’t know the first thing about REAL pain. You don’t know the first thing about ACTUAL suffering. You think you can stand there in your ivory towers of academia and condescend to preach MORALS and VALUES and ETHICS and INCLUSION when you’ve never permitted anyone to actually school you on what it IS to be moral, or to have values, or to be ethical, or to be – and I’m laughing as I write this – INCLUSIVE.
How DARE you. HOW FUCKING DARE YOU.
You know what I think of weak stomached sperm stains like you?
I don’t. I don’t think of you at all.
I don’t care if I offend you, because from where I stand it sounds like Cream of Wheat and lollipops fucking offends you. I don’t think about your precious feelings, because from where I stand, all you ARE are your feelings. You’re a raw nerve with no insulation against the brutality of the real world. You never grew the psychological and emotional scar tissue that countless generations before you have had to grow to get along in the world, because everyone’s always given in to you pussies and your weak-wristed demands.
I hope to God one of you reads this, and I hope beyond hope that you CRY. I hope you BAWL. I hope you feel like I’ve personally stepped into your “safe space” and smacked you across the face with a g-ddamn rusty gauntlet. Because I HAVE. I will be in your safe spaces forever, standing too close, hissing in your ear, reminding you that you’re truly worthless; that you aren’t fit to hold up your head when you’re in the presence of REAL people. Because you AREN’T people. You’re not even UNpeople. You are porcelain dolls painted with organically sourced pigments and placed on high shelves out of the reach of the clawing children of Real Life. You are too fragile to exist.
Other people should have been teaching you to grow up since the day you were born, but they didn’t and you were too lazy and pampered to do it yourself. So sorry-not-sorry, but I’m going to do it now. Welcome to the crash course on life, you simpering little fuckwits.
Lesson #1: No one cares about your fucking feelings.
Lesson #2: If you ever start to doubt Lesson #1, you get the gauntlet again
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: We don’t need no education!
First, a little mood music:
Carrying on…

Once a bastion of learning, college have quickly devolved into indoctrination centers where the lunatics run the asylum.
“The University of California Student Association board – which represents all 233,000 students enrolled in the UC system’s 10 campuses – approved a resolution on Sunday that calls on the system’s leaders to financially divest from the United States.
“The measure cited alleged human rights violations by America such as drone strikes that have killed civilians, and claimed the country’s criminal justice system is racist, among other accusations.
“The ‘Resolution Toward Socially Responsible Investment at the University of California’ passed with an overwhelming majority vote of 11-1-3.”
If they can divest from America, can America divest from them?
