Toward Anarchy and Oblivion

Posted on Comments

“It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then the dauphiness, at Versailles, and surely never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. . . . I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone. . . .
“The unbought grace of life, the cheap defense of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise, is gone!”
— Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France

The Apostles of Equality and Progress, who have done everything in their power to destroy whatever vestiges of courtesy, decency, loyalty and honor remained in American society, now presume to disavow the Age of Hatred and Violence they have unleashed upon us. What Burke called the “barbarous philosophy” of the French Revolution — whereby “a king is but a man, a queen is but a woman; a woman is but an animal, and an animal not of the highest order” — has prevailed as he foretold, and the horrifying consequences are everywhere.

Lesbian feminist Lisa Needham believes all men are Elliot Rodger:

[T]his might be mental illness, but it is an illness that is not unfamiliar to women who routinely and disproportionately are the victims of harassment, neglect, violence, and death at the hands of men. Rodger’s actions were an extreme manifestation of a cultural view that is not actually uncommon: that women “owe” men attention, that women who don’t put out are bitches, that women who do put out — for other guys, of course — are sluts, and all these women get what they “deserve” — violence from men.

Right. Women are victims “routinely” of “a cultural view that is not actually uncommon,” and a psycho creep who kills six people is just an “extreme manifestation” of this “not unfamiliar” illness.

The chivalry that once inspired “manly sentiment” died long ago, and customary deference has been replaced by raw Power, the only currency recognized in the Age of Hatred and Violence.

Yet the hashtag #YesAllWomen is trending, one liberal describing it as “meant to open eyes to the real problems with the injustice in society . . . instigate change, and open up the eyes of both women and men; women in a show of solidarity . . . men to make a strong statement that these are not isolated incidents we see on the news, but rather, ongoing problems that, if left unchecked, will ultimately lead to a much bleaker future.” Not a word (and probably not a thought) from liberals that maybe how we got into this godawful bloody mess is because fools trying to “instigate change” didn’t bother to think through their radical syllogism to its deadly conclusion.

Los Angeles Times headline: #YesAllWomen: Isla Vista attack puts a spotlight on gender violence — and never mind the fact that four of the six people Elliot Rodger killed in his murder rampage were men: Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, 20, Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, George Chen, 19, and Weihan Wang, 20. If the facts don’t fit the liberal narrative, liberals will just ignore the facts, and will bristle with indignation if you dare to point out the cognitive dissonance.

“You have to hand it to the liberals: they never miss an opportunity to convert tragedy into political gain,” and who can disagree?

Ginning up hatred is always “political gain” for liberals, and this is what the hashtag #YesAllWomen is about: Convincing women that men are their enemy. The standard Tweet format is for a woman to say that A Terrrible Thing happened to her because of a man (or men in general) and #YesAllWomen — a slogan framed as a reply to “Not All Men,” which is a feminist pet peeve: Whenever they complain about men in general, someone is always certain to point out that the generalization is unfair:

NAMALT – internet (feminist) shorthand for ‘Not All Men Are Like That’. . . .
NAMALTs usually happen within the context of explaining how widespread a problem is with males; male supremacy; or male violence. If too many women are agreeing that this is indeed a widespread problem with males in general, then one or more NAMALTers rush in, and, well, just NAMALT.
Once the NAMALTing starts, it becomes a tsunami of NALMATing, NIGELs and UNICORNs.
NIGEL is feminist internet shorthand for NIcest Guy who Ever Lived. And Unicorns . . . are apparently these very special pro-feminist men that are shoved at radfems, who are understandably skeptical that such pure creatures exist.

Radical feminists do not hesitate to include all men in their condemnations of the “patriarchy,” and NAMALTing is not allowed:

The phenomenon of NAMALTing is also the phenomenon of stating NAFALT (Not All Feminists Are Like That), ie, not being one of those nasty manhater types of feminists. Yeah sure, we get it. Your ‘feminist’ politics are ‘man friendly’. They are also bullshit. Feminism is the only political movement that prioritises women’s rights and needs above the mainstream (ie male domination). If you cannot do that, then don’t call yourself a feminist.

In other words: No Feminist Can Ever Say Anything Nice About Men.

Understood in this context, #YesAllWomen is a chip on the shoulder, daring anyone to claim not all men are responsible for violence against women — to frame rape and abuse as a collective victimization of women for which men are collectively to blame.

The Apostles of Equality and Progress have brought us here, and the logic of their “barbarous philosophy” leads in exactly one direction — toward anarchy and oblivion. The Age of Hatred and Violence has merely begun, and it ill behooves those who have delivered us into utmost savagery to disavow the handiwork of their labors.

  3. Years ago Time Magazine ran an issue where they featured a portrait picture of every US citizen who was killed by a criminal with a gun. Hundreds of pictures were on display. Only one was a woman, the rest were men. Which picture did they use on the cover? The woman.

    Feminists never pass up an opportunity to cry “wah wah, I’m a victim, give me cheap pity I don’t deserve.” What an identity for young girls to grow up with. “Victim.” They use self-pity like a bored housewife uses a dildo.

  4. Well, of course, it’s not all women who experience that. What you have are attractive women complaining about what a lot of uglier women wish would happen to them.

    One of them is Robi Ludwig, given some face time on CNN to explain Mr Rodger this morning, telling us all about men who think that they are “owed” sex by women, while wearing a slinky green dress with a plunging, cleavage-baring neckline.

    In the chick flick Six Days, Seven Nights, Anne Heche complains that Harrison Ford is ogling her. Of course, she’s wearing short-shorts and a tight tank top, and Mr Ford replies, “Oh, is that what you think when you pick outfits like that, that you don’t want men to look at you?”

    “I like guys looking, just not you.”

  6. Grievance mongering notwithstanding, feminists are reputed for hyperbole. Elliot Rodger inspired by misogyny? No, it was numerous psychopathies, which we can’t even ascertain now. Still, Lisa Needham and co. need not be aware of this fact, however, they have a narrative to vomit.

  7. I’m not saying, I’m just saying, but a google of “Benghazi the other McCain” sure does turn up a lot of hits.

  9. Given what I managed to get accomplished, I make Hitler seem like a piker when it comes to body count.

  10. So, we have one–one out of 150 million or so males in this country–obviously disturbed individual who cites his ineptitude at romance as the precipitating factor in his crimes, and suddenly we have a national crisis? Typical Leftist game plan: distort facts to create a “problem” which is then magnified beyond all recognition such that something must be done! Of course, that “something” inevitably involves power and control for those fabricating the “problem.”

  11. Right. Women are victims “routinely” of “a cultural view that is not actually uncommon,” and a psycho creep who kills six people four men and two women is just an “extreme manifestation” of this “not unfamiliar” illness.

    Fixed that for you.

  13. In all the speculations about the psychology behind Elliot Rodger’s motives, I have yet to see the “PIA” dynamic – “Penis In Ass” which Bill Schmaldfelt so eloquently wrote about at KOS. Who would have guessed the Bill could have been ahead of the curve on this one – damn that KOS for firing him as a contributor!

    Perhaps Elliot Rodger had some unresolved homoerotic issues – when I saw his video, my thoughts were “gay” and that maybe women weren’t throwing themselves at him because that was the vibe they picked up on.

    Now I see that his father had a sideline “cheeky” photography business – $1250 a pop for artistic photos where basically a women is reduced to an inviting ass. Just have to wonder how this would have affected his son’s perception of women (or men, for that matter.)

    Next time you cite Bill Schmaldfelt’s anal rape screed, do us a favor. Instead of a picture of him, snag an image from here. Saatchi Art – Peter Rodger

  15. The sad fact of the matter is that Elliot Roger bought into the same lie that most men do – that getting laid is a right, not a privilege, and the end-all be-all of human experience is the orgasm. That’s the real tragedy.

  18. […] Note, it likely sounds a bit strange to hear the words mass killing and not the preferred term the Left loves, which is mass shooting. The fact is that Rodgers shot three innocent people in cold blood, and he stabbed three innocent people in cold blood, and he ran down innocent people with his car, trying to kill them.  But, Liberals prefer to use the term mass shooting, because let’s face it victims that are stabbed or run down with a vehicle matter less to Liberals. They are just not as useful because their deaths or injuries cannot be falsely blamed on the NRA or lawful gun owners. This is simply because Liberalism is an ideology for exploiters. And, of course, the Feminist wing of the Left will never let a tragedy go to waste will they? RS McCain explains […]

  19. I have a “RIGHT” to get laid? Why did no one ever tell me? I do not know any men who think that, not one Of course, here in the Bible Belt, such thoughts are considered sinful, and even in Heathenesse, creepy. .

  21. Most men really believe that? Wouldn’t they be more likely rapists rather than murderers of both sexes? Unless those males have become so twisted that killing = climax.

  23. Most feminists and leftist trolls believe that men believe that. Now, I’m not calling Dennis a feminist nor a leftist troll, but…

  24. Thomas Jefferson wrote that we have the right to the pursuit of happiness, and getting laid (normally) makes us happy. Unfortunately for Mr Rodger, he didn’t even have the confidence to pursue happiness, lacking the guts to even ask out the hot babes with whom he wished to copulate.

  25. I wonder: can I sue those women who turned me down? After all, if I have the right to get laid, did they not abridge my civil rights by refusing to participate?

  27. Most Americans (men & women), if they don’t see it as a “right,” certainly see it as “what life is all about,” and that if you’re not continually chasing after your next lay then you must be insane.

    People have had easy, workable birth control for so long that they’ve forgotten that taking a pill to shut down the reproductive system is unnatural; a luxury. They now look back at the people in centuries past and wonder, “What was wrong with those people? Why did they ever invent sexual taboos? They must have been insane! Ah-ha! It was RELIGION that made them crazy!”

    No, they just didn’t have the pill. And now we have it. So our ethics quickly morphed around its existence. Now it’s “Get laid! Get laid! Get laid!”

  28. Sorry, I thought we were talking about people who capitalize on the deaths of others for political purposes, and for some reason, “Benghazi” and Robert Stacy McCain came to mind.

  29. I tweeted earlier in the week that a Federal judge in California has order the release of the Pillow Case rapist. Where’s the liberal outrage and concern?

  30. Chivalry is dead; Feminism killed it.
    The inclusion of Burke is especially apt, since he had the view that societies and their norms existed as the endpoint of organic and natural evolution.
    Radicals of all stripes reject this, instead insisting that the wisdom of the “elites” is sufficient to mold society as they see fit.
    They then act surprised when things “unexpectedly” fall apart.
    The best you can say about the women’s liberation movement (which led to RadFem) is that it traded one set of merits/demerits for another. IMO, the new set is less-optimal than the former.

  31. Marie Antoinette was a victim of liberal meddling. The old system was replaced willy-nilly with untried methods and structures that quickly spiraled out of control into chaos and oppression.

  32. I heard this meme repeated many times in the previous thread: Elliot Rodger thought he was entitled to get laid.
    I’m not sure this was true.
    I think that he knew that no woman owed him sex, but he desperately wanted it. He may have gotten frustrated because he saw no possible avenue of obtaining what he desperately wanted.
    I need to finish reading his manifesto, to see if my opinion of his mindset changes.
    I would note, however, that if RadFems are latching onto this idea, we should automatically be suspicious of it.

  34. The problem here is that the word “capitalize” makes it sound like Benghazi wasn’t a real scandal.

    Has the ambassador stopped being dead yet? How about the other three Americans?

  35. If they were so inclined, I’m sure the Gay movement could use the murder of men as an example of repressed homosexual tendencies.
    And why not? At this point, every other great man in history has been retroactively “outed.”

  36. Are you that UFO guy from the History Channel, pictured in that one meme?

  43. I still think he was a lying homo sexual. He just hated women period. Was there any pisslam in his background?
