Week Of 4/30

[JukEboX]

Morning All. 

Catching up on some things. 

Apparently an American blogger in Canada is growing in popularity with his alt right views. He is a dime store professor at Harvard peddling any point you can find at a bar that the world is hard and you need to take all that is yours. He finds young boys today are suffering and that having weakness such as "feminine aspects" which are making them weak and they need to toughen up.

“If men are pushed too hard to feminize, they will become more and more interested in harsh, fascist political ideology.”

He is trying to skirt the line with the Alt-Right and trying to hide any link to fascism but it isn't hard to connect to dots. He is essentially blaming the countries problems on women and equality.

ALso over the weekend the "American Renaissance" group, a hate group, had a conference in Tennessee in a state owned, publicly paid for, hotel which for this conference was protecting the hate group in side with over 100 police officers, dogs, helicopters, and police on horse back.

The founder of the group says:

“Blacks and whites are different. When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization — any kind of civilization — disappears.”

Also he suggests a creation of a white only state, and the sterilization of women on welfare.

Protesters of all ages were "penned" to keep from causing a problem. I greatly enjoyed this poster this navy veteran had.

Gaht damn JukEboX, everything you posted is infuriating. 😉

Except that Navy vet.

Also, good morning.

There is also a major legislative move to pass Christian Rights bills on the states level called "Project Blitz" which is looking to double down on the myth that America is a "Christian Nation". They are in this for the long fight and say they are fighting for the sanctity of Marriage and Sexuality.

They are looking to find exemptions to laws by using religious grounds as a reason to get out of civil laws. These views on Christianly in civil laws has proven that peoples views can be skewwed against same sex marriage, hate toward minorities, making more racial boundaries in marriage and family.

They have tried to pass 71 bills nation wide so far and those are only the ones that can be tracked. All with "wholesome" titles to make them feel less argumentative and family friendly.

Researcher Federick Clarkson

The bills are seemingly unrelated and range widely in content — from requiring public schools to display the national motto, “In God We Trust” (IGWT); to legalizing discrimination against LGBTQ people; to religious exemptions regarding women’s reproductive health. The model bills, the legislative strategy and the talking points reflect the theocratic vision that has animated many in the Christian Right for some time. In the context of Project Blitz’s 116-page playbook, however, they also reveal a highly sophisticated level of coordination and strategizing that echoes the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which infamously networks pro-business state legislators, drafts legislation, and shares legislative ideas and strategies.

There are 3 tiers to this strategy.

1. "The Legislation Regarding Our Country's Religious Heritage" - Put Christian views into public schools and public life. (i.e. same as replacing "e pluribus unum" with "In God We Trust" on display everywhere)
2. "Resolutions and Proclamations Recognizing the Importance of Religious History and Freedom" - Make government a partner in "Christianizing" America.
3. "Religious Liberty Protection Legislation" - Public policy resolutions and "protections" for religious practices. (i.e. such as fighting the same sex marriage settlement by fighting for religious liberty protection)

Part 3 is also looking to tier apart and demoralize LGBTQ groups and make it safe to discriminate as well as make it safe to discriminate against those Christians feel as "second-class".

As the late theocratic theologian R.J. Rushdoony said, 'Only the right have rights.'"

Its like they are trying to build a country WAY more conservative than it was in the 50s and 60s and turn this country into a MEGA mid century prison. And its scary.

Fighting for the sanctity of marriage? Funny, I don't see "Make divorce illegal" in their plan. Nor do I see them having any sort of problem supporting a thrice-married serial cheater. The hypocrisy, it burns. It's not about protecting marriage, it's about discriminating against the LGBTQ+ community and keeping abortion illegal.

Also I really, really fucking hate it when the Christian right supports this next-level state religion bullshit but decries Islam as evil.

BRB, going to donate all my money to the ACLU.

[enchanted]

Geez, JukEboX. Way to make Monday more depressing.

There was quite a bit of press in my blue dot of Tennessee about that group meeting. I love the vet's sign.

The news about all the laws doesn't surprise me and until left leaning voters start caring about all elections, not just presidential, those laws are going to pass and the ACLU is going to need a ton of donations to fight them.

[Dr. Cox]

I need a palate cleanser.

I've spent so much time wondering HOW THE FUCK the richest people in the country get away with calling people with demonstrably less money and power than they have "elites." I completely missed the anti-Semitism.

Funny how they can call them Elites and "Second Class" at the same time.

[JukEboX]

Also the "Invasion" of migrants that was walking through Mexico has reached the boarder of San Diego and San Juan and yet no violence or mass crossing. Good thing we sent 3000 National Guard down to the border to guard the whole thing.

[Dr. Cox]

I woke up last night still angry that some flippant remarks about eyeshadow are a bigger deal than the fucking president being a racist asshat in Michigan. Every journalist who chose to focus on poor little SHS under the guise of feminism, and downplay or ignore the President’s blatant attack on the Latino community can go fuck themselves.

[Deleted]

Dr. Cox I am with you 100%. The truth fucking hurts, and I can't believe how many times I have had seen Liberals be called snowflakes. And Trumpers (and Trump himself) walking around with shirts and signs of some of the most sexist and racist shit I have ever seen in my life. They also had a shirt that said "Trump 2016: Fuck Your Feelings."

And here we are. Spare me your fake outcries. You're pissed because we won't shut up about how fucked up this all is. YOU ELECTED A PRESIDENT WHO SAID HE LIKES TO GRAB WOMEN BY THEIR PUSSIES AND IT'S OKAY.

And Flint still doesn't have clean water.

Did someone say... palate cleanser?

Add “cause for a university evacuation in Australia” to the long list of reasons that durian may be the world’s most maligned fruit.

About 3 p.m. Saturday local time, Melbourne’s Metropolitan Fire Brigade sent out an alert about a chemical hazard at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.

The smell of gas had been reported in a library on campus, the fire department said. A hazardous-materials team was dispatched to the scene to investigate “potentially dangerous chemicals” stored in the building. Amid fears of a gas leak, Victoria Police evacuated about 500 students and teachers from the library.

It’s tough to say whether the culprit was more or less frightening than what the alerts portended.

“After a comprehensive search, firefighters identified the smell was not chemical gas, but gas generated from rotting durian, an extremely pungent fruit which had been left rotting in a cupboard,” the Metropolitan Fire Brigade said in a statement titled “Rotten afternoon on campus,” just to drive home the point.

I know. It all sends me into an almost rage stroke.

This from the guy who used "sleepy eyes" - a well-known anti-Semitic slur, on fucking twitter, like it was no big thing.

If it wasn't all so fucking infuriating I would be laughing at the hypocrisy.

Its seems the country is not as progressive as we thought any more and the racists, bigots,  and mysogenits yell louder and can call their religious friends faster.

A FB friend of mine who works retail, has said that men seem to be acting like bigger creeps lately, It's almost like they think it's acceptable to act so creepy towards female employees.

The thing that sucks is that his insults, his way of speaking, has become a new norm. I can't even act surprised or shocked anymore.

If a Democratic President spoke and acted this way, impeachment proceedings in a Republican-controlled Congress would have started many moons ago.

I just finished reading Biden's book about his son who had the same cancer McCain does and I feel for him and his family with what is coming.

I figured it was with how things have been with him recently.

Isreal has "obtained" secret nuclear files from IRAN about where they are keeping their nuclear weapons.

The Knesset has voted to give Netanyahu the ability to declare war on Iran after he claims Israel smuggled 100k documents about Iran's "ongoing" nuclear program.

I'm sorry. I lived through the "Iraq has WMDs" bullshit. I'm going to need harder proof than "Bibi said so."

Also: what are the chances we are all in with Israel within the week?

If it gives 45 the opportunity to play bomb this nation, it will be faster than that.
