WaPo, CNN Reporters Spark Massive Backlash With 'Kobe Was A Rapist' Tweets

Feminists, racial and sexual minorities, some of the poor (those who think correctly), most college students (those who think correctly), the guilt-ridden, the anti-institutionalists, the anti-traditionalists, and trannies (added in the Qs, too) under 1 giant radicalized umbrella.  Looking for meaning in life, looking to man today's imaginary barricades, these energetic SJWs are harnessed and handed a prism with which to view and interpret all life's events, and that prism is power ala Foucault (derived from Nietzsche).  Everything breaks down, for the Far Left, into power dynamics, because that beyond-simplistic approach explains the whole world (to them) and all that happens in it.  As I said before, power itself isn't the problem to the Hard Left, though; it's the people who supposedly have it who are the problem--we need NEW holders and victims of power.  It need to be in the hands to those who will wield it "better."  But tour the Countries in which the overwhelming amount of genocides, corruption, bigotry, famines, and other horrors occur, and ask yourself honest and hard questions.  You probably won't like candid answers.

Well, the MeToo movement is alive and well, and it spares NO ONE, not even someone from its grand coalition.  (Well, almost never:  It spared that black-faced Democrat Va. governor known as coon-man in HS, I think.  The Far Left is selective at times.)  You all knew it was coming, right?

But as Zero Hedge intelligently remarked:  "What kind of sensible person would feel compelled to call Kobe Bryant a rapist and trash his legacy in the hours after the devastating helicopter crash that left the NBA legend and his daughter, Gianna, dead?  Unsurprisingly, the answer to that question is staff reporters at CNN and the Washington Post, among other media outlets."  2 trusted outlets, that's who.

Legacies.  They're tough to keep nowadays.  And selective, too.  It's not just the traditional titans who feel the onslaught; it's also one of their own gang.  But I suspect that the powers that be will tell the upstarts to put a lid on it FOR NOW.

Wait till they get access to the tapes in 2027 on MLK and that little session of "sex" caught on tape supposedly with words of encouragement uttered to alleged rapists by Men of God.  (Maybe it's untrue--time should tell.)  But Me Too nevertheless will be up in arms, again, having a field day with MLK and his legacy (e.g., his Holiday, and streets and federal and other buildings named after him), and I'm sure Me Too will be at it before 2027, too.

Judging people ain't what it used to be.

RIP, Kobe and daughter.  Prayers to them and their loved ones.  Where you'll be, you'll be laughing at how stupid, petty, and judgmental we down here are.  So, you might have made a mistake--and you weren't even in the military or in politics for around 55 yrs.  You weren't really doing anything demanding or of consequence--you were playing a kids' game.  You weren't commanding troops, running a war, defeating NAZIs, or running an Empire, and look, you even might have fucked up, as have others.  I won't be harsh--sincerely.  I felt gut shot.  You were a hero of ours.  RIP

Che Guevara's racist remarks  https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Che_Guevara

The following quotes in which Che Guevara is expressing racist thoughts should be included. They are all taken from his own biography; The Motorcycle Diaries:

"The negro, those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing, have seen their territory invaded by a new kind of slave: the Portuguese."

"The negro is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations."

"The episode upset us a little because the poor man, apart from being homosexual and a first-rate bore, had been very nice to us, giving us 10 soles each, bringing our total to 479 for me and 163 1/2 to Alberto."

"The first person we hit on was the mayor, someone called Cohen; we had heard a lot about him, that he was Jewish as far as money was concerned but a good sort."

***

https://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2013/apr/17/marco-rubio/did-che-guevara-write-extensively-about-superiorit/

The most compelling evidence was from The Motorcycle Diaries, a book based on diaries he kept while traveling through Latin America in the early 1950s.  (The book was also made into a 2004 movie.)

"The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing, have seen their territory invaded by a new kind of slave: the Portuguese. And the two ancient races have now begun a hard life together, fraught with bickering and squabbles.  Discrimination and poverty unite them in the daily fight for survival but their different ways of approaching life separate them completely:  The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations."

Another comment came from Guevara’s writing about his time fighting with revolutionaries in the Congo and included this line:  "Given the prevailing lack of discipline, it would have been impossible to use Congolese machine-gunners to defend the base from air attack: they did not know how to handle their weapons and did not want to learn."

Finally, there’s this line after the revolution in 1959:  "We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing."  [Empasis added.  That was harsh, bro.]

***

https://247sports.com/college/michigan-state/Board/97/Contents/Socialist-Hero-Che-Guevara-Racist-Homophobe-Mass-Murderer-112780995/

Anyone who deviated from the “new man” was seen as a ”counter-revolutionary.”  Such was the case of gay men — whom Guevara referred to as “sexual perverts.”  Both Guevara and Castro considered homosexuality a bourgeois decadence.  In an interview in 1965, Castro explained that “A deviation of that nature clashes with the concept we have of what a militant communist should be.”

Guevara also espoused racist views.  In his diary, he referred to black people as “those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing.”  He also thought white Europeans were superior to people of African descent, and described Mexicans as “a band of illiterate Indians.”

In the article “My Cousin, El Che,” Alberto Benegas Lynch Jr. describes how Che Guevara enjoyed torturing animals — a trait common to serial killers.  His record of murdering and torturing people is extensive.  Researchers have documented 216 victims of Che Guevara in Cuba from 1957 to 1959.  Suspicion was all that was needed to end a life.  There was no need for trial because he said the Revolution could not stop “to conduct much investigation; it has the obligation to triumph.”

Death, to Guevara, was a necessity for revolution. He had no regard for human life.  Today, 50 years after his death, it is important to remember Ernesto Che Guevara as the person he was: a homophobic, racist, mass murderer willing to use any means to achieve his self-declared superior society."

Social media has brought the stupid into society for all the world to see. 

The world might have been better before all this technology 

[Testadura]

Technology was a gift for socialists.  (Contra liberty of person (personal and economic), just look at Che's statements to see how socialists, utopians, and totalitarians view the world:  "Anyone who deviated from the 'new man' was seen as a 'counter-revolutionary.'   Such was the case of gay men — whom Guevara referred to as 'sexual perverts.'  Both Guevara and Castro considered homosexuality a bourgeois decadence.  In an interview in 1965, Castro explained that “A deviation of that nature clashes with the concept we have of what a militant communist should be.”  [Emphasis added.])

As Douglas Murray said (and he's quoted below), we see the symptoms of our great derangement, but not the cause.  Technology is just an accelerant, like gas on a fire.

Let's go over some old ground:  We explained ourselves thru religion, but that narrative started to fall away in the 19th C., which was a couple of hundred yrs into the Enlightenment.

Then, our secular hopes via political ideologies tried to pick up the baton in religion's wake: the Enlightenment, which failed miserably at morals and ethics via rational thought.  But Steve Pinker's answer to all questions is the rational Enlightenment.  Pinker, the award-winning Harvard professor, who is no post-modernist, though he's a liberal.

The post-modern era started in the last part of the 20th C., and post-modernism distrusts all narratives.  Truth, to them, not only is elusive; it's not worth knowing.

But "nature abhors a vacuum, and into the postmodern vacuum new ideas began to creep, with the intentions of providing explanations and meanings of their own." 

But wealthy Western democracies could not be the first people in recorded history to have no explanation for why we're here and have no story to give life purpose.

So, besides getting rich and having fun, what are we here to do?  Post-modernism, with its social justice, identity politics, and intersectionality, tells us how to interpret the world.  Just for laughs, here's what intersectionality is:  "This is the invitation to spend the rest of our lives attempting to work out each and every identity and vulnerability claim in ourselves and others and then organize along whichever system of justice emerges from the perpetually moving hierarchy which we uncover."  Unworkable, demented, impossible--and subject to abuse by those wielding the ideology, right?

The battles and campaigns began, and to your point, the Internet and social media sped up the process.

And this is what hardly anyone gets:  "these wars are not being fought aimlessly.  They are consistently being fought in a particular direction.  And that direction has a purpose that is vast.  The purpose--unknowing in some people, deliberate in others--is to imbed a new metaphysics into our societies: a new religion, if you will."  But leaving Murray aside, this overview is pretty mainstream.

2008 unleashed the Kraken from academia into all of our lives.  So, when you hear something morally or historically or politically absurd, now you know from whence it came, whether the utterer knows it or not.

The disgusting LA Times article was in traditional print media--not the Internet.  Another "mainstream" source.

The Far Left eats its own.  They care more about the rape charge than his death.  Read the LA Times:

“First, I want to apologize directly to the young woman involved in this incident. I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year. Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure.

“I also want to apologize to her parents and family members, and to my family and friends and supporters, and to the citizens of Eagle, Colorado. I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case.

“Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.

“I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado.”

I've had academics tell me that logic and the scientific method are no better or worse than any other epistemology, that they too are really about social power.

It's scary how that stuff has taken root in English departments and gender studies department etc. It's pretty difficult to raise objections to it by appealing to logic and science when logic itself is dismissed as heteronormative masculine bullshit and when science is dismissed as just another way of perpetuating the status quo.

it's changed the social sciences, which aren't sciences.  but gender-studies and black-studies students don't seem to be the more serious or clever students, and so, you don't seem to see them in the business world, law, medicine, etc., but there's always politics and gov't. and human resources to teach people to think a new way.

about 4-6% of college professors are conservative; 16-17% are Marxists of some sort; and the remainder are split evenly b/w liberals, progressives, and radicals.  Liberals are the ones with a bulls eye on them, not the conservatives, which are of no moment. in academia

I posted yrs ago how the Hard Left (not traditional liberal Dems) dismisses science when it is inconvenient--some had been saying that only the Right did that.  Former U. Va. and now, NYU Prof. J. Haidt, for e.g., recently talks about how IQ isn't taught in most highly-regarded colleges because some students anonymously write to the "offense" committee complaining that his or her professor is triggering him or her.  So, let's not teach uncomfortable subjects or books or ideas--great idea. 

But I think that the hard sciences probably will not let the Hard Leftist Foucaultians totally decimate the hard sciences as they're doing to Liberal Arts.  (Funny, they loved rational thought and science when it dispensed with religion and aristocracy, but rational thought and science have evidentially served their purposes, and now, they're in the way of a power-grab.)  We need science to cure viruses, invent things, build state-of-the-art weaponry, etc.--even Clinton and Obama know that.  At any rate, the social-justice thought is largely bullsh!t and impenetrable, intentionally so.

"The Conceptual Penis as a Social Construct" was published in 2017 in an academic journal, Cogent Social Sciences.  A f!cking hoax, which got published in a peer-reviewed journal.  the 2 authors absorbed themselves in the Far Leftist bullsh!t and concocted a pure joke, and the idiots with their lack of rigor and commonsense published it.

"Human Relations to Rape Culture and Queer Performativity at Urban Dog Parks in Portland," published in 2018 in a feminist journal.  Dog-humping was further proof of our rape-culture.  Another hoax.  They can't tell real from a joke, as their "disciplines" have no objective standards, and obviously, there's little to no truth or science backing them.

"Our Struggle is my Struggle," published in a feminist journal.  The authors intermingled passages from Mein Kampf with social-justice jargon.  They published parts of Hitler's work!!!  lol  and these guys talk about how stupid everyone else is with whom they disagree.  Glass houses.  without sin.  Etc.

These same guys published another paper in "Sex Roles," which as a joke said that the authors "used thematic analysis of table dialogue" to do a 2-yr study on why straight guys might want to eat at Hooters.  "thematic analysis of table dialogue" means they went to Hooters and other restaurants and listened to guys' conversations.  lol

This is the type of nonsense replacing the art-history class at Yale and Shakespeare at Penn.  these are the Elites, and btw, Elites are oppressed.  let's hope the Russians or Chinese don't invade.  lol  The SJWs can hit them with jargon and call them rapists, which sadly they will become if the situation presents itself

The absolute lack of self-awareness from the members of our much vaunted “Fourth Estate” never ceases to amaze.  
 

Trump has a lot of faults, but he laid bare the lie that many of the major figures in our media are anything other than far left activists masquerading as “objective journalists”.  And the media’s response to all of this is to double down and claim that they are somehow the sole arbiters and guardians of our democracy, that they are under attack”, and that they are absolutely immune from criticism.  
 

I continually marvel at the members of the media who can sit there with a straight face and  claim that their diminished prestige is anything but self-inflicted.  Millions of Americans don’t trust a word that comes from their mouths, but I’ve never really heard any of them even venture down the path of self-reflection; it is always someone else’s fault.

perfect post

Trump is a wrecking ball.  he's not what our dream politician looks like, but who else would take our case?

I liked how Doug Murray did a genealogy of sorts of how we got here:

in 1911, a famous Communist poster showed a pyramid with the working class at the bottom, then the well-off capitalist classes, then the military (it's 1911), then the clergy (again, it's 1911), then the monarch (again, it's 1911), and finally Capitalism.

Well, despite some great insights, Marxism was found out, intellectually debunked, and proved a failure in practice.  But the Marxists (Utopians) never disappeared.  They shifted focus and theory, as they found themselves in a different world.

Social-justice theory then comes along.  They are essentially neo- or post-Marxists with a different pyramid.  At the top of their pyramid are white, male, and straight people.  If they are rich, that's even better.

Marxism frees the laborer.  SJWs free minorities from tyrannical male overlords.

No one took this crap seriously at first.  It was laughed at.  it's claims absurd, it's inherent contradictions manifest; no one needed to come up with any coherent criticism.

But this ideology like others did give people a way to see and understand the world.  on the merits, it should have been laid to ruins then and there, and never able to leave the barn.

it then festered in academia, which was always heavily Left-leaning.  "[F]or a certain type of person who is intent on finding blame rather than forgiveness in the world, Foucault helps to explain everything.  [Such a humble Soul.]  * * *  For [Foucault and his admirers] absolutely everything in life is a political choice and a political act."  Using his lens distorts and is dishonest.

the 1st phase was to tear down.  we saw and still see that. 

after space was cleared, the 2nd phase started, and that was and still is weaving new narratives, new certainties, new ways of seeing the world.

2 great quotes by Argentinian E. Laclau, a post-Marxist:

"To what extent has it become necessary to modify the notion of class struggle, in order to be able to deal with the new political subjects--women, national, racial and minorities, anti-nuclear and anti-establishment movements etc--of a clearly anti-capitalist character but whose identity is not constructed around specific 'class interest'?"  (Emphasis in original).

"Their enemy is defined not by its function of exploitation [Communism], but by wielding a certain power [Foucault, SJWs].  And this power, too, does not derive from a place in relations of production [Communism], but is the outcome of the forms of social organisation [British spelling] characteristic of the present society.  This society is indeed capitalist, but this not the only characteristic; it is sexist and patriarchal as well, not to mention racist."

With Marxists humiliated and Marxism debunked, they had to create and did create a new class of exploited people.  Needless to say, they dumped the working class.  And after their dumping, the working class became known as the "deplorables."

From there to "The Conceptual Penis" is not a long way. 

This SJW crap is not science, to say the least.  It also is contrary to MLK's vision of a color-blind society.  FYI, MLK was sort of a Hegelian, which means that to be fully human or really, to be human at all as opposed to just a person, you had to be free.  Freedom is requisite to humanity.  If you're not free, you're not fully human.  He was interested in equality, as all reasonable people are, but not the radical egalitarianism of the SJWs.  He saw people, NOT groups.  The Constitution guarantees people rights, not groups rights.  It takes a few moments to un-twist how twisted we've become, but it's worth it.

Someone's handle on this board should be "The Conceptual Penis," as constant reminder of the forces of stupid and of power-grabbing.  (I'm not talking about people; I'm talking about stupid ideas.  We all have dumb ideas from time to time.)
