What Does Bozo the Orange Nazi, and Muskrat have in Common?

 Very special daddies!  Bozo's daddy was associated with domestic nazis, and muskrat's with South African nazis.

About That Black Brit Bigot.

 Remember.  All conservatives are evil.  They are trash.  But this Kemi Badenoch is also a Brit culture warrior.  That makes her even trashier than the ordinary conservative.  Or should  I call her rubbish?  Brits use that word.

Anyway.  She might be a tad smarter than our American conservative, evil, trashy, culture warriors.  She seems less likely to be all over the map, and in the media, spreading her bigoted ideas.  For whatever that is worth.  

Oh.  But she does spew pro west bigotry.  Shocking, for someone born in Nigeria.  But her damage is hers to own, and live, and parade for the rest of the world to see.  And, for someone like me, who only has grands and great grands born in Mother Africa.  And, as I have almost half genetic ancestry from Europa, I am more "western" than she is.  If that really is a thing.  And I reject the idea of the west as anything culturally special.  So my attitude towards her and her pro west, bigoted bias is:

What the fuck, young African Lady?  Africans, Islamic Moors, ended the Dark Ages in Western Europe, with their conquista of Iberia!  So, what the fuck you mean with this defend the west, bloody bullshit!  

Black Brit Bigot. Because all conservatives are bigots.

I am Not Calling The Owl a Racist. But That Clearly is Racist Bullshit

 Each and every motherfucking time a white person, criticizes Black people, in this case,  Kimberlé Crenshaw, with the words of another Black person.  Who usually is . . . surprise!  A conservative; in this case a Black British conservative, Kemi Badenoch.  Who proves herself to be as ignorant as white supremacist American conservatives, who criticize CRT without having done the reading.

How the fuck can any sane, rational, fair minded person take seriously the person who criticizes an entire, and decades old social and legal philosophy, without that person ever having done the reading?

This lady admits to having never read at least Kimberlé Crenshaw.  And yet has lots of opinions about those writing, those ideas.  But that is her fucking damage.  But there is no fucking excuse for some old white lady in  America to platform that shit.  

Not a defense of the views of the Black British Conservative.  All conservatives believe in an inherently evil ideology.  I have been saying that since a was fucking 12.  or 13.  But this lady was born in Nigeria.  And I don't know when she immigrated to the UK.  But the point is.  She clearly doesn't know shit about the contents of the data set represented by a Venn Diagram of American law, and America's history of white supremacy.

This lady admits that.  She proudly says she did not do the reading.  And whatever life she has lived, it wasn't even in The Americas, never mind the US.

No matter how pathetic and ignorant the Black British Conservative might be.  Not as pathetic as the retired white American former Con Law Prof is, for missing all that was wrong with the quote, and her platforming of it.

Anyway. Imma gonna link it.  And not talk about the owl again this year, if ever.

I don't make New Years promises.  But I will have aspirations, time to time, some of the time.

Rabid Dog

 I just saw an article where some dick-faced, pro-orange nazi, contributor for CNBC, used that fucking phrase that irks me to no end, The one about "unleashing capitalism."

Granted. I am biased. I would say, I am not violently anti-capitalist, but I am functionally so. I believe it needs to be leashed because, when left to its own whims, capitalism is very much like a rabid dog. It attacks. It's toxic. It destroys. It respects nothing but its diseased mind-driven hunger and insatiable desire.

And I wonder, at least. If the dick faces who use that phrase, unleash capitalism, are Freudian slipping when they do so?

Rabid Dog

Matches my mood.

 

Not only, but particularly when Nazis are in charge.  Or about to be in charge.  All Republicans are Nazis.

I Won't Mock The Owl. I Will Show You What She Wrote.

 Confession.  Time spent on the lazy thinking this retired con law prof uses, every day of her life, seemingly, is a distraction from politics.  And starting months ago.  I started cutting down.  As a related matter. Based on my years on this rock, I believe political reporting and commentary is at a low point. Lazy thinking is everywhere, seems.  We can blame the interwebnetubes.  But many people with experience and training in the right disciplines say and agree.  Humans be like that.  Anyway . . .

"Tell me about an "interpretative system" that is better than Jordan Peterson's "whim." He's one man, interpreting things. If my "job" is to "sit still" and take in his ideas, how is that different from reading any book? The author isn't here with me, the reader, to be "argued with." But I buy the Kindle version and excerpt any passage I want to pick apart, and I do my own writing here on this blog, which you are sitting still and reading. If you are "overtaken with apathy," you stop reading. If you want to argue, you go into the comments section. If it's just too much interpretation, coming at you endlessly, take a break. Nobody said you had to read this all at once. I heard that Elon Musk read the entire Encyclopedia Brittanica when he was 9 years old. That's unusual, and it's not what the encyclopedia writers had in mind."

She wrote and published that.  And could not tell it was not terribly coherent?

And if only to be more coherent myself.  This is from her blogged "review"  of some real writer's review of Jordan Peterson's newest trash output.  For those of you who don't know about that guy.  He is the Canadian ex Psychology professor, who got fired over some refusal to use preferred pronouns, some idiotic "principled" in his disordered mind, stand.  And he quickly became a darling of the worldwide, right wing conservative idiot's circle.  And he had a physical and mental breakdown from "the road' and or other reasons.  

And once recovered?  I say questioningly. He went back to telling other people how they should live their lives, seemingly oblivious to his own failure to get, have, and keep his own shit together.

Anyway.  The real reviewer was making the the overall and some specific points about how incoherent the book is.

Personally, I never found the guy to be at all coherent except when plagiarizing, and not fucking up the bits he plagiarizes.  And as a fan of Jungian Analysis, and the work of the late, great Joseph Campbell.  Based on this review, I can say Peterson is at least greatly borrowing from those guys.  And likely fucking up the bits he plagiarizes.

Anyway.  There is your context.  Now for the critical observation about the Owl's lazy childish thinking.  And I think she is sort of sympathetic regarding Peterson.  And it that is true that could be a factor why, when viewed as a chunk.  Her point of view and message seems to boil down to:

How dare you review his book, while reviewing his book?

Before I "Unpack" her Childish Reasoning. The Tale of the Mugato Expert.

 "Star Trek Lower Decks," is by far my favorite "TV" show.  I have, for all intents and purposes, been a Trek fan all my damn life.  And STLD is a irreverent, but loving animated comedy, in the realm of that franchise.

Moving to the point.  In one episode, a couple lower ranking officers of the ship, are running in fear from these scary alien creatures;  Mugatos.  And they encounter a self described Mugato expert who has two books on Mugatos.   But before long, they learn this "expert" only has, as in bought and read two books.  He did not research or write them.

He gets mauled, destroyed by a Mugato.  Surely, greatly, due to his not really being an expert in them, really.  But of course, that was the joke!

On to the Owl.  Who clearly was not joking.  On her blog today, she platformed some article dealing with, "The obesity crisis."  But her headline is:

"Why doesn't this article even mention RFK jr?"

Um.  Because it isn't about him?  

Because he isn't in the health related appointment yet?

And my favorite reason.  He isn't an expert on any health related issue or field.  Actually.

Let us review his credentials, and lack thereof.  He once was considered one of the most successful environmental law litigators.  And that doesn't even make him an expert on environmental science.  Never mind any other field of science.

If you would think a lawyer should know that is an objective fact?  The Owl is happy to fail to meet that minimal level of understanding about the world and the people in it.  I would say, at least a sixth grader should be that bright, to get that much!
