Socio-political hot takes

Nobody asked for this, yet here we go. A few of the socio-political stories of the week, and my hot take. Disclaimer! I'm not your tutor. I make reference below to a few facts and to data, like that 80% of our behavior is genetically determined, or what the impact of women's suffrage are. These are not well-known facts that people accept casually. But they are true nonetheless. And no, it's not my responsibility to help you find out where that data is (although geez; I have links right there to the side, fer cryin' out loud. The Those Who Can See blog alone answers most of these, and is well supplemented by Jayman and Audacious Epigone's columns at the Unz Review.) Do your own homework. It's my experience that you won't value and accept the information unless you put in at least a little work of your own to acquire it anyway.

1) Disney is one of the most evil, worst companies on the face of the earth, populated by some of the most evil, vile people known to man. The leaked audio, coming on the heels of Disney's full-throated attempt to meddle in the politics of Florida and stop a bill that would protect children from being groomed and molested at school should say everything that needs to be said about this terrible, terrible company. Going broke is too good for them. Most of these people, quite honestly, need to meet the DotR, and I predict—I don't endorse, but I predict—that they will indeed do so in the fullness of the wrath of the American people at the abuses hurled upon us constantly by our so-called elites and their foreign mercenary foot-soldiers. When that happens, it will be unfortunate for all involved, but I seriously doubt that I'll be able to spare much sympathy. These people quite literally asked for it. As an aside, this speaks condemnation to the two Bobs. Iger set this up. He allowed this environment to grow and fester, and in fact encouraged it. Chapek is simply unable to cope with it or deal with it. He's the scapegoat trying to clean up Iger's mess, but of course he's in way over his head and is not equipped with the chops to meaningfully handle the catastrophe. Iger is the snake, the toxic, poisonous one. Chapek is the hapless, helpless one who is fundamentally trying to do the right thing but is too weak, cowardly or stupid to figure out how to.

2) Speaking of, Chris Rock also literally asked for it. I don't endorse Will Smith's actions, but seriously; in civilized society, you don't make fun of a woman's appearance, especially if its caused by an involuntary condition, and not expect to be taken to task by her husband. I know, I know—Will Smith is a joke, and his marriage is a joke. There's enough terrible people to go around in this story. But I feel no sympathy for Chris Rock. That kind of stuff that he pulled is super toxic. People should shun him and his shows if that's how he's going to act. This isn't a question of free speech. He's totally free to say those things without the government censoring him. He's not guaranteed an audience who wants to hear it, though, and he's not guaranteed social acceptance for what he says either. That's the biggest misunderstanding by entitled, spoiled little princesses on what free speech actually means.

2a) Corollary to number two; 2019: "Oscars so white; we need more diversity!" 2020: "Oscars so white; we need more diversity!" 2021 "Oscars so white, we need more diversity!" 2022: "Just right?" There's a reason that snarky comments all over the place are now calling this "just another case of black on black violence" and "you can take Will Smith out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of Will Smith." It's actually older and broader than that; the ghettos are just Little Africas in America. You can take the black man out of Africa, but you can't take Africa out of the black man. After how many centuries and how many generations now, there's still a fundamental disconnect between the behavior of European descended Americans and African descended "Americans". They truly aren't the same nation. The fundamental disconnect isn't due to any social anything either; it's due to biology. 80%+ of our behavior is driven by our genetics. I know, I know; that makes nice white people sad to have to come face to face with the idea that different people are actually different and not just multicolored interchangeable widgets. But frankly, that should make you sad if you believe that. What an evil, dehumanizing thing to believe in the first place!

I sometimes read the comments at Breitbart to get a read on where the conservative zeitgeist is. The comments section is a better barometer than the actual articles, but still. Usually I'm disappointed in how cucky most people still are. But they're awake on this issue. The reality of black criminality and society level disfunctionalism comes up non-stop under most articles related to this. That's where I read the comments referred to above, for what it's worth. The racism boondoggle is almost over. People are really starting to get it en masse that the whole thing is a hoax.

2b) The most controversial aspect of his multifaceted hot take; I said earlier that Chris Rock was asking for it, but in civilized society, men don't leap up and punch comedians during their show, either. He should have publicly walked out with his wife, turning his back on Rock's performance. It's a bit of performance art of his own, but it signals that that's not acceptable and that he doesn't need to suffer it. Then they resolve their differences privately. The watchwords in Christendom on how to resolve these differences is that Christ counsels us to be peacemakers, to turn the other cheek, to forgive another his offenses seventy times seven times. I suppose that I'm not entirely opposed to the idea that if after many, many attempts differences simply can't be resolved in a civilized manner, that they can be resolved in a private field with your seconds from thirty paces. But of course, that's been illegal in America for decades. How they cannot be resolved is by passive-aggressively going to the hall monitor and trying to tattle on the guy who you provoked. Not that Chris Rock is doing this, somewhat to his credit, but I hear all kinds of pundits, stupid talking heads and internet commentators saying that pressing charges for assault is the answer. This is absurd. Chris Rock wasn't hurt. He wasn't injured. And he asked for it. Assault? Criminal charges? That's the ultimate toxic beta response. Anyone who proposes that should be ashamed. Why in the world have we got to the point in our society where we feel like running to the teacher and tattling is the appropriate response to a predictable action that we provoked in the first place? Pretty simple, really: women's suffrage. I was once offended by the notion that giving women too much say in the ordering of society is a slow suicidal action, but in retrospect and after much thought and review of a lot of data, I have to admit that it's true.

3) It's been interesting to watch the media quietly stop their "Russia made such a huge miscalculation; derpy Putin, what an idiot, Russia is losing so badly, derpy-derp derp" propaganda in the wake of the obvious: Russia is actually completely and totally winning, they're doing exactly what they said that they were going to do, and they're doing it on schedule, and there's very little credibility to any suggestion that they won't end up with literally everything that they demanded before this whole thing started, and even then some. The big miscalculation was made by the "Americans": the sanctions, which it looks like will probably finally break the back of the dollar as the world's reserve currency. Very lean times ahead in America as a result of that, I predict. Which in turn will reduce the already very frayed patience that Americans have with the government taking our money and giving it to entitled, demanding, uninvited and insulting foreigners and Fake Americans who call us racist non-stop just for not giving them our money fast enough. Not just lean times, but rough, violent times ahead for America, I predict.

4) In spite of the screeching harpies of the media and their ridiculous stories about the Hunter Biden laptop, everyone knew that Hunter Biden's laptop was real two years ago, except for those deeply in psychotic denial and all of the fake and dead people that voted to put this senile, corrupt old man in office. The laptop was (and still is) completely catastrophic for any expectations that Biden would be anything but a complete disaster, but now the veil of denial has been ripped away and everyone with any integrity has to admit it. Biden always was just the dumb tag-along who's now over-the-hill of an openly hostile to America crime syndicate, not a legitimate President. Biden the Pretender will be his eventual sobriquet. I do wonder why the story has come back now though, and what that means. Did some other faction of the crime syndicate that rules America decide that with the Russian and inflation debacles on Biden's "career" that it was time to put the pressure on him to get out of the way? Time will tell. Reading the actions of the "cloud people" is a bit like reading tea leaves. They don't actually make any sense to normal people, but they surely mean something to them. 

UPDATE: Adding one more.

5) I'm less up in arms about the stupid man winning at women's sports story. Frankly, women's sports have never really been very interesting to anyone other than the participants' parents anyway. With very few exceptions women's sports are merely a slow, boring parody of men's sports anyway. Not quite sure why anyone ever championed them in the first place, and Title IX was nothing but a tax on men and men's sports to force schools to create alternative to popular past times that nobody actually cares about or wants to see. I say get rid of Title IX completely, and then everyone can go back to acknowledging the reality that nobody cares about women's sports anyway, and men won't be tempted to pretend that they're sexually and psychologically confused so that they can complete against girls and act like it's amazing that they won.
