The Tolerant Cohort Threatens Violence Against Milo Yiannopoulos

I'm a big fan of Milo, who has become a one-man wrecking crew against the social justice warriors infesting "universities" across the land. He has shone a light on trigger warnings, safe spaces, cultural appropriation, and many other hallmarks of generation snowflake, who describes itself as tolerant but cannot bear to hear contrary viewpoints, even in a place ostensibly devoted to exploring them.

I've watched several of Milo's lectures online and, almost without fail, a latter-day Neanderthal leaps up and shrieks in order to prevent Milo from questioning fanciful notions such as the wage gap or white male privilege. This is what tolerance and education consist of today: mindless dogmatism.

Milo has grown better prepared and sports enough manpower to bounce uncivilized curs from his events. In what appears to be an act of escalation, someone threatened to bring firearms or explosives to his next speech, which now has been canceled. Some suggest that the threat was made by white supremacists, but the sound money is on the tolerant cohort, who are far more numerous and have a proven determination to stop debate from springing up in the halls of higher learning.

If there's a lesson from this, it's that all major American institutions -- family, government, news, entertainment, schools, and even big business -- have been converged by the cancer of leftism. There's no need to fight it, for leftism is so divorced from reality that it always collapses after burning through the wealth and prosperity built by the superior men who preceded it.

I wish Milo the best in his crusade, but a better way to achieve his goal of defeating lunacy is simply to get out of its way, go your own way, and let it burn to the ground.  

The First Debate

I stopped watching presidential debates some time ago because they are a painful spectacle of middlebrow sock-puppets who exchange platitudes rather than engage in anything resembling intelligent discourse.

Against my better judgment, I sat down this evening to watch Donald Trump debate Hillary Clinton because this election is unique for a couple of reasons. For one, Donald Trump is a renegade rather than a sock-puppet, so I enjoy the fear he strikes in the hearts of the corrupt establishment and its mindless worshippers. For another, and as I've said before, I want to know which side is going to lose because that's where the action really is; it makes little difference who takes the helm of the bloated, lawless monstrosity calling itself the federal government, but the losing side will be so enraged that it will finally call for disobedience. The disobedience will come from either a host of nationless quislings (Hillary supporters) or from a host of hardcore, nationalist patriots (Trump supporters).

It took me only about ten minutes to turn it off. Listening to Hillary recite her tired talking points while Donald intermittently yelled at the top of his lungs wasn't telling me anything I don't already know, so it wasn't worth the effort.

The only thing that never ceases to amaze me is how thoroughly Hillary conceives of society and government as one and the same. She believes that any pleasant-sounding societal objective is worth pursuing through federal force, all questions of law and morality be damned. There is a name for this, and it is totalitarianism. If America still had an educated populace, my Facebook newsfeed would be filled with denunciations of her toxic worldview rather than littered with attacks on Donald Trump, whose substantive views are much more in line with the American experience.

At this point, I honestly hope Donald loses. "A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government." A Donald loss will make that observation clearer to patriots than ever.

The Ongoing Civil War Heats Up

Impatient with hijacking the national anthem, a large number of twisted souls have hijacked the city of Charlotte in further "protest" of how America oppresses minorities. The supposed justification for laying waste to property and assaulting random people is a recent, fatal shooting by police of an unarmed black civilian.

We are supposed to ignore that the officer is being charged with manslaughter. We are supposed to ignore that police kill twice as many whites as blacks, even though whites are less violent and commit far fewer crimes. We are supposed to ignore that blacks are more likely to kill a police officer than be killed by one. And we are supposed to ignore the insanity and immorality of attacking innocent people for the wrongdoing of others (which mirrors the insanity and immorality of demanding reparations for the wrongdoing of prior generations).

These things are getting too big to ignore. So is the following: a minority of the American population feels entitled to use violence -- whether personal or political -- against the majority to get what it wants. The majority has the right and the ability to squash this like a bug; if things keep going as they are, the majority will, and it won't be pretty.

The Kaepernick Phenomenon Grows

More and more football players are hijacking the national anthem to draw attention to themselves and complain that America is oppressive to minorities. This is a good thing that will focus Americans' attention -- not on the imaginary oppression, but on the reality of a fifth column of ingrates who hate the society that has bent over backwards and done more for them than any other society ever has. It's an unfortunate but undeniable fact that when you shower people with beneficence, most of them will resent you rather than respect you for it. 

Too many Americans opt to ignore the weighty questions of life and pursue shallow entertainment, often by watching overpaid men play a children's game. Well, you no longer can seek refuge in sports from the insanity engulfing this country, so it's time for you to grow up as well and put away childish things. There already is a civil war, and you have to pick sides.
