When 2 + 2 = “Oppression”

     As has often been said, if one wishes to win the future, one must win the hearts and minds of the children.  From the Frankfurt School to modern college campuses, trained indoctrinators have been emerging for a century or more whose sole job is to make sure that “your child belongs to [them] already” before the parents even notice.

     The Progressive left have been largly successful in using education as an excuse to misinform and twist the minds of of what they see as “their” children, in order to perpetuate their hateful and deluded vision of a utopian nightmare.  By the time that parents and the rest of society notice, the Progressive left have already permanently won the narrative.

     The Education Action Group provides just such an example.  The “Rethinking Schools” organization has been using mathematics as an excuse to push their “social justice” agenda.  In effect, this means that “[a]ccording to [radical educator Paulo] Freire’s theory, students must understand how the world’s systems work to oppress the masses before they can reform those systems.”

Why Does EBONY Magazine Think all Blacks are Druggie Thugs?

     EBONY Magazine are declaring that all Black individuals are gay-bashing druggie thugs.  While this isn’t what they intended to do, it is what they have ended up doing.  They are putting out four different covers of various hoodie-wearing Black male celebrities with their hoodie-wearing sons, as well as one with Trayvon’s family.

     EBONY intended to suggest that society treats all Blacks like it treated the “innocent” Trayvon Martin.  Unfortunately, since in reality Trayvon was a gay-bashing druggie thug, this association just furthers the despicable stereotype of all Blacks as druggie thugs.

     But then, the editors of EBONY probably don’t care about Trayvon, but only the money a little controversy could bring, particularly the controversy about White people boycotting EBONY… which was created by EBONY in order to get press and make money.

     Perhaps a more accurate cover of EBONY might be more illuminating:

The Fundamental Failure of Welfare

     One of the problems with the Welfare State is that it conflated Middle Class accoutrements, such as nice homes, with Middle Class values.  Simply having the accoutrements of the Middle Class will not make one Middle Class, or instill Middle Class values.  It is the work ethic and values of the Middle Class that allowed them to have the nice things; it was their drive and desire to stand on their own two feet and become masters of their own lives that lead to the broad prosperity that is associated with the Middle Class.  Welfare mistakenly flip this cause and effect.

     Section 8 housing, that allows people to live in nice homes without paying much of anything, while actual hard working folk have to save an scrimp to get the same thing, gives nothing more than superficiality to the former, while denigrating the later.

     A couple who rented their home out to such a Section 8 Welfare case demonstrates what happens to people who did not earn those “nice things” and subsequently have to respect for those “nice things” because they can trash it and then just move on like locusts:

Mayor “Filthy” Filner: More Equal Than Others

     By now the well over two dozen women who have come forward to accuse current San Diego Mayor Bob “Filthy” Filner of sexual harassment and inappropriate touching, including his hunting for nookie amongst rape victims.

     It has also been revealed that the Democratic party knew of many of these accusations yet did nothing.  This is the same Democratic party that purportedly defends women (or at least their access to free abortions and enough contraceptives to sleep with all of Liechtenstein), are themselves waging a “War on Women.”

Welcome To The Machine: Cory Booker’s Technological Corporatism

     Soon-to-be New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is set to transcend Obama in the realm of both crony corporatist dealing and campaign technology, all at the same time.

     In a puff-piece on the civil liberties hating Cory Booker, the “Old Gray Lady” revealed that Cory Booker has been ingratiating himself with the big-wigs of Silicon Valley, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Google, and Twitter.

Resistance is futile…

     He has done so well to enthrall and ingratiate, that many of these companies top execs to form his own tech start-up.  Of course, Booker doesn’t actually run the company, he just gets the equity and his name attached.  And connection to fat-cat donors, of course.

When You’ve Lost Alfred E. Neuman…

     MAD Magazine’s October issue takes on the entire domestic spying scandal in a way that might not seen too kindly by some Obama supporters.

     There probably won’t be much fall-out, since MAD Magazine is way above the heads of most of Obama’s hardcore supporters.

Point Me At The (Raaacist) Sky?

     One of the articles of faith for the hyper-racial left is that all White people are racist because “whiteness” is nothing but false and oppressive.  To this end, White people can only fight racism, and so shrive themselves of the “sin” of Whiteness, by destroying everything associated with this “Whiteness.”

     Since racism is defined as being the same things as “Whiteness,” the fight against “racism” becomes in large part equal measures of hating Whites and convincing Whites that they are evil incarnate.  The large volume of such idiocy would be impossible for a lone person to fully compile and parse.  However, on occasion, a glaring pile of flaming you-know-what pops up that just begs to be belittled. A confused young man(?) who wrote how “racism is to white people as wind is to the sky” wrote one such post.

     This pile of laughable rubbish is massive, yet the author, a so called queer-something-or -other is himself belittling of “people of colour and Indigenous people” by necessary assuming whatever they say is “widsom.”  Said author also feels that “for every bit of support we offer to white people to change racist behaviours, let’s offer double the support to folks of colour in dealing with living in a racist world.”  Such condescending air of superiority is certainly indicative of someone deserving of all the scorn he piles upon all Whites, including themself.  To prove how all of society is a plot by evil Whites to oppress people, the author give several examples.  Below they shall be cited and given the belittlement they deserve:

The Manichean Meta-Narrative

     As has been mentioned before, “It doesn’t matter how logical or sane an idea is.  If people don’t understand the narrative it embodies, the whole human experience as it were, then people won’t connect.”  If one wins the narrative, that is, define the context in which political debate will be judged, then one has already won the entire argument.

     This is why it is so important for the culture, from memes to mores, to be reflective of that civic heritage that given us both virtue and liberty.  The Progressive left, however, have been fighting this, and with some success, not by staking a logical and realistic case for their position (for they have none), but by demonizing their opponents as evil incarnate and then offering a manichean choice: The evil H8ers and oppressors, or the ones who are opposed to all those naughty things.

America’s Marxist Future?

     Under Obamanomics, people have been dropping out of the workforce, which results in an artificially low unemployment rate.  The labor participation rate has been stagnant, or depressed, if you will.  What is most worrisome is that the jobs that America is producing are increasingly part time jobs.  In large part, this is due to the effects of Obamacare, where small businesses are penalized for hiring full time workers due to healthcare mandates, but where those penalties can be avoided by only hiring people part time.

     This is not a flaw in Obamacare.  It is one of its fundamental designs.

     To understand why, we must only look to Karl Marx and his intellectual spawn to understand why.  Continue reading →
