Friends, have you ever wondered what it's like to be on the wrong end of "cancel culture"? Here's an article that describes the ordeal brilliantly. This brave soul managed to transcend his own cancellation and come out of the experience stronger than ever. As he points out, that's not what usually happens. Typically all that's left when the Twitter mob is done with you is the wreckage of a once-promising life, career, and reputation.

Speaking of cancel culture, would you believe that being pro-life is a career-ending offense? Oh, in some quarters it is! Witness this gaming CEO and his misadventures.

Our old friend Robert E. Lee got cancelled years ago, in most cases, but his statue in Richmond, the old Confederate capital, is only being torn down tomorrow. It's the end of an era. Or, to look at it another way, it's the beginning of a new era: the age in which only "woke" manifestations of history are permissible.

I swear, we're getting to the end of this "cancel" bit... Bear with me.
It's looking more and more like men might be cancelled in American higher ed. They've been shrinking as a share of college students and college graduates for decades (not to mention of professors and administrators). It's getting to the point where two-thirds of degrees will soon be awarded to women. And does academia have a brilliant plan to save men from their "systemic" underrepresentation? Hardly! Many leftist ideologues celebrate the terminal decline of the male sex. Besides which, wouldn't it be better to replace men with some new transgender formulation anyway? There could be women and...non-women. Better yet: women and drones! We could learn a thing or two from our bee cousins, surely.

How determined is the leftist media to portray Republicans/conservatives/Christians/rural residents as ignoramuses? Very! They've fabricated a narrative about stupid Trumpers guzzling horse medicine en masse to satisfy their own vanity and spite. Now they've got egg on their faces, because so few of their claims turn out to be true.
Congrats to the Lone Star State for making passage of its new election integrity bills official! Only a cretin would think that the lack of, say, drive-through voting will cause a catastrophic, or even noticeable, decline in voter turnout. Personally, I'm confident that the GOP will perform very well in the 2022 and 2024 elections in Texas, but that's not because voting laws were tightened up incrementally. It's because the Dems are demonstrating every day how little they can be trusted to lead our country.

Here's an excellent argument, courtesy of the Wall Street Journal, for vigorous new federal regulation targeting Big Tech. Now, I'm usually no proponent of more government, but realistically we may have to concede that allowing these massive tech conglomerates to run rampant could be fatal for freedom and democracy. Ergo, it's time to act.
Finally, one might well ask: "Where in the world is Kamala Harris?" She's been virtually invisible ever since Sleepy Joe stubbed his metaphorical toe in the sands of Afghanistan. One of two things is happening: Kamala wants to avoid the mess "President" Biden has created, OR Biden wants Kamala out of the way because he's afraid that calls will grow for him to step aside in her favor. It's possible, of course, that both of these things could be true. Either way, it's amusing to see team "Biden-Harris" fracture so publicly.

Dr.Waddy from Jack: Allow me to offer my view of a profession long since numerically dominated by women- the library profession. I entered it in the late '70's and was immediately given to understand that I was unwelcome. Had I been puissantly willing to submit to the reflexive and vindictive commands of the militant man haters who asserted domination of the profession at that time and probably still do to this day, I would have been grudgingly tolerated. Luckily, I gained employment as a state prison librarian and prison is a man's world. To your description of today's academia: expect the minority of man hating female colleagues to advance an onslaught on the very presence of males in the profession ,as they would ma!es in full citizenship

Dr. Waddy from Jack: Touch feely 1965 campfire Joe cannot comprehend the totalitarian intent of those wbo hoisted him,like El Cid ,into the vanguard of their antiTrump, antiAmerica crusade in 2020. He served his purpose. Now he is vestigial! What is to come? Kamalafornia? She might not be ��
ReplyDeleteso bad, yes. Anyway, make way for AOC!
Dr.Waddy from Jack: I think we in "flyover country" comprehend the contempt and dismissiveness within which we are held by the Dems. It is incumbent upon our political leaders to concentrate and motivate this inescapable perception and our individual responsibility to respond on election day. Reject ALL Dems! No matter how familiar they may be, they ultimately support Gillebrand, Schumer and all other leftists, who sneer at us and all we stand for! Don't vote for ANY Dem!
ReplyDeleteJack, the arrogance and self-isolation of most Dems/progressives is indeed a card that we on the right ought to play AGAIN AND AGAIN, since they insist on burrowing ever deeper into their ideological hole. Self-satisfied woke elitists are arguably evil, yes, but they're also almost always ridiculous, and ridicule is among the most powerful weapons of all.
