This is like that thing from the book 1984, Ministry of Thought, or whatever it was called.

That person did not commit a crime, they were simply "impacted by the justice system".

Next time you shoot someone in the head, claim that it wasn't a crime, but just an impact from a justice system. That would do it.

Everybody is a victim EXCEPT the actual victims.

Going forward, ex-cons are to be called, "justice-involved individuals." Well, as it happens, the people they committed crimes against are also "justice-involved individuals."

Gotta love the neat tricks these fuckers play. Criminal and victim called the same, illegals and citizens automatically getting the same "federal restrictions apply" DL, etc.

I try to use stupid phrases like this from time to time just to mock leftists (and sometimes marketing people) for their stupidity and obfuscation... "vertically challenged" and "horizontally enhanced" for short and fat people, for example.

You could fight back by using some seldom-used words that cause most snowflakes to vaporize instantly. My favorite: Niggardly. (Look it up!

I remember media outrage over that word last time some black dude misunderstood that word.

Sometimes called a "high speed lead injection."

Another ridiculous obfuscation we hear all the time and definitely should fight: "undocumented" for illegal aliens.

Maybe the right could do the same: Fail your criminal background check and you are just an "undocumented" gun purchaser.

You know why it's a picnic?

Because that's where Whitey learned to pic, a nig, for lynchin'

Orwell Bates taught me that in Cell Block 4.

Chronologically delayed abortion


Homeless are now called either 'unhoused' or 'migratory'.
But, it does not matter if you change words, the new words quickly assume the old negativity..

HONK HONK!!!

What the hell is going on in these liberal states? I don’t know if they can campaign harder for Trump in 2020, can they?

Like what else could they possibly do to try harder to ensure Trump gets re-elected?

in case the 1,000 siren media barrage missed you, there was a leak from some sort of telegram chat of young RNC folks.



and the predictable people are all out yelling “see i told you they are all really neo-nazis!” in all the predictable ways. ...

i’m not going to try to defend any specific utterance or out-of-context comment (and no, i have not read it all, i’m not actually all that interested) but i would like to add some context that seems sorely missing among the cavalcades of criticism.

look guys, sure, these doltish kids from RNC said some (at least superficially) dumb, even some rancid stuff, but (and this is a huge but) can we please stop running around in circles having a “who can get the most extreme case of the vapors?” contest as though we were some sort of victorian frails who live entirely outside of reality and context?

male bonding involves saying stupid stuff, insulting one another, using slurs that one does not mean, and generally behaving like a goon with the boys.

this is a fact.

it’s just male behavior and (wait for it) there is nothing wrong with it in the private sphere.

let me let some of y’all in on a little secret:

this is real, unvarnished male bonding.

and this is a good thing.

these guys who are taking turns being (if taken literally) extremely mean to each other would, in fact, walk through fire for one another.

they would never say things like this if they wouldn’t.

it is quite literally the fact that your friends will go out on ledges like this to insult you and the fact that you can step this wildly far outside of social norms in friendly interaction with them that proves that you are friends.

as alpha male, if a stranger said this to you, it would lead to violence.

the fact that instead this leads to laughter and bonding is how you know that you are a tribe.

it’s unfakeable proof that these people really do have your back.

transgressive provocation and “stepping across the line” to take liberties that only a friend could take is the point, it’s the acid test, the unfalsifiable truth standard is “can i say something that should start a war that instead produces back slaps and return insults?”

we get that it’s foreign and offends the fake sensibilities of “beta-nice” but the fact that it’s not something others understand does not make it invalid. ...

the same folks who are all good with leather harnesses and dog masks between men suddenly cannot handle dudes saying “that’s retarded” to one another.

but this has to happen.

every high-functioning male group has edgy jokes and teasing. it’s a feature, not a bug.

it’s how you test one another and diffuse the energy that alphas otherwise express as domination and violence. it’s how you build teams.

as an alpha male, the “other way” is painful, bland pabulum that proves and creates nothing but dysfunction and anger.

and frankly, we hate it.

it’s not where we live. ...

obviously, this is somehting of a generalization, but broadly:

women bond with insincere compliments and men bond with insincere insults.

being able to dish it out, take it, play edge lord, and handle it when you get dunked on is a sort of tribal test to see if you have the self-control and “one of us” energy that makes you part of the gang.

this starts at about 5 years old and in healthy alpha male groups, it never stops.

when it does, that’s when you get trouble.

so sorry, not sorry to those it offends, but this is what peak male collaboration looks like. and there is no malice in it. it’s just a set of modems locking up by seeing who is who and what is what.

and that requires some transgressive provocation.



i belong to a fantastic chat group called “retard chat.” it’s full of self-described “tards” who, in reality are incredibly successful people, doctors, lawyers, university professors, PhD’s, CEO’s, data nerds, and suchlike. the education, erudition, and intellect in that room is enormous. so are the ethics and morality. i seriously like and trust these people.

but we all act like goons in that chat while also having serious, deep, interesting, multi-disciplinary discussions. there must be 30 of us in there. i’m sure you could pull 1,000 out-of-context jokes to make us look like some sort of demon pit of prejudice and mean tweets because you have no idea that the funniest black jokes are coming from the black guys and the hindu jokes from the hindis and that many of the smartest folks are the ones most determined to call themselves tards.

there is a 100% chance that even trace exposure to us and our conversations would melt the mind of becky from vassar and cause her to run away to join a portland antifa cult because “OMG, the nazis are everywhere!” but this is just incomprehension of a process foreign to her.
