Because @EllenPage Is Canadian, She Hates America and Wants Us All to Die

Posted on | June 16, 2016 | 60 Comments

“Extremely anti-gay, anti-bi, anti-trans rhetoric . . . is constantly creating a poisonous environment which leads to people hating themselves, people being violent towards one and other, to bullying, to abuse and it really needs to stop.”
— Ellen Page, June 15, 2016

There is a certain “Reichstag fire” element in the reaction by Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) to the Orlando massacre. If you were a paranoid conspiracy theorist, you might be suspicious about how rapidly this crime — committed by a registered Democrat named Omar Mateen — was exploited to promote the Democrat Party’s agenda. However, as I often remind readers, liberalism is not a conspiracy, it’s a consensus: Everyone employed as a producer at CNN is a Democrat who therefore shares a a common set of core beliefs with all the Democrats employed at Harvard University, at the New York Times and in Hollywood. Republicans are deliberately excluded from working in higher education, the entertainment industry and the news media, and so this Democrat consensus produces a lockstep conformity so automatic that we may suspect that it is centrally planned by a secret cabal.

Yet the George Soros/David Brock/Sidney Blumenthal Axis of Progressive Evil doesn’t have that kind of power. They don’t need that kind of power, primarily because of how the Left has captured control of university campuses. Roger Kimball’s 1990 book Tenured Radicals and Dinesh D’Souza’s 1991 book Illiberal Education were prophetic warnings about how political correctness was being imposed in academia. Many conservatives reacted with mocking humor — “Hahahaha! Look at what these crazy kooks are doing!” — and failed to understand the significance of the Left’s academic hegemony, in terms of its long-term cultural influence. If socialism and atheism and other left-wing beliefs were being promoted by university faculty, and if students who opposed these beliefs were subject to punishment for speaking out against the Left, how long would it be before these intolerant “progressive” attitudes were diffused throughout the culture? College students were being quite literally indoctrinated by Marxist professors and taught to view opponents of socialism as evil.

Cultural Marxism produces an attitude of left-wing intolerance that routinely expresses itself through accusations of ThoughtCrime — “racist! sexist! homophobe!” — which are often simply slogans. In many cases, these smears have no relation to the actual beliefs of the person targeted by such attacks. The Left uses “racist” as a synonym for Republican, and this attitude was already apparent in academia 25 years ago. We now find such reflexive partisanship everywhere in the news media and the entertainment industry, which are controlled by people who would never knowingly employ a Republican. To watch CNN now is like watching a 24/7 campaign commercial for Hillary Clinton, and none of the people who produce this Democrat propaganda — Chris Cuomo, Carol Costello, Brooke Baldwin, et al. — seem the least bit embarrassed by their work as dishonest partisan hacks. CNN’s deliberately misleading coverage of the Orlando massacre, which they refuse to treat as a terrorist act of Islamic jihad, is reflected in every other liberal media venue.

— Entertainment Weekly

Powerful Statement About the Orlando Shooting

Ellen Page emotionally discusses
Orlando shooting with Chelsea Handler
— Los Angeles Times

Notice how journalists rush to provide free publicity for an interview on a Netflix show between a not-very-popular host (Chelsea Handler) and a not-very-popular actress (Ellen Page), promoting a not-very-relevant argument. The murders committed by Omar Mateen were not a result of generic “anti-LGBT rhetoric,” but were a result of Islamic jihad.

It is not rhetoric that kills people, otherwise I would already be dead. As a heterosexual white male Christian, I am more or less constantly assaulted by hate rhetoric from Democrats, who are determined to rid the world of Christians, white people, heterosexuality and the Republican Party (not necessarily in that order). Feminist baby-killers denouncing “toxic masculinity” and ranting about “rape culture,” mobs of angry black protesters seething with anti-white rage, atheists trying to eradicate Judeo-Christian morality — this is the Democrat Party in 2016.

Democrats hate Jesus. Democrats hate America and the Constitution. Democrats hate motherhood. Democrats hate babies and the Bible and, if you are a Republican, Democrats hate you — personally.

Ellen Page is Canadian. Why are Americans expected to listen to a Canadian lecture us about “creating a poisonous environment”? Also, Ellen Page is extremely short — barely five feet tall. If liberals think Americans need to be lectured about what violent anti-gay bullies we are, why can’t they find a full-grown American lesbian for this job? Why are we being lectured by midget homosexual foreigners?

There are lots of reasons to ignore Ellen Page, but if she’s so concerned about “violence towards LGBT people” shouldn’t she be worried about the bloodthirsty Muslim fanatics who throw “LGBT people” off roofs? Why can’t Ellen Page be bothered to notice that the Orlando killer was a bloodthirsty Muslim fanatic who pledged his loyalty to ISIS?

No, Ellen Page’s hatred of American and Christians blinds her to the danger posed by bloodthirsty Muslim fanatics.

Who hates America more, Ellen Page or ISIS? It’s hard to say.

What we notice, in these situations, is how the liberal media narrative is always determined by the political interests of the Democrat Party. Do you think liberals actually care about anti-gay violence?

Thomasena Mitchell and Kiara Johnson.

A chef at an uptown Charlotte restaurant told police she was attacked Saturday by a woman who hurled anti-gay slurs then body-slammed her to the ground.
“Never have I ever felt so alone,” she said. “I had seven girls staring at me, looking at me, with hate in their eyes.”
Charlotte police charged two 17-year-olds with misdemeanor assault and have asked the FBI whether the girls could be charged under the federal hate crime law. . . .
She said the assault occurred as she and a co-worker were walking home after work early Saturday evening. She said they passed a group of six or seven females and one male on Trade Street between Tryon and Church. Without any provocation, she said, one of the women yelled out:
“Hey, are you a stud?”
A stud is a euphemism for a masculine-looking lesbian. . . .
She said the woman then screamed a string of derogatory statements, including: “You’re a faggot. … You’re a queer….” . . .
Police arrested two teenagers about an hour later. Capt. Mike Campagna said that earlier in the day police had received reports about the group harassing other people.
Thomasena Michelle Chisolm and Kiara Marie Johnson were charged with misdemeanor assault. . . .
Both girls have been arrested multiple times before, but most charges were dismissed. Johnson was found guilty of breaking and entering earlier this year, and is awaiting trial on a larceny charge. Chisolm faces a trial on possession of a stolen motor vehicle.

Do you think CNN or the New York Times will notice a crime like this? No, of course not, because the perpetrators are black and the lesbian who got assaulted is white, and therefore it’s strictly local news.

The same principle explains why, when a bloodthirsty Muslim fanatic kills 49 people in Orlando, it’s not a story about the danger posed by bloodthirsty Muslim fanatic. Instead it’s an excuse to lecture Americans about how much we hate gay people. The principle that determines how the media covers such stories is always the same: “How can we report this in a way that helps the Democrat Party?” And this is why the media decides a Chelsea Handler interview with a not-very-popular actress is a Major News Story. The only people who hate America as much as liberals hate America are Canadians and ISIS, not necessarily in that order.

Why Is @Nero Being Ignored by Mainstream Media?

Posted on | June 16, 2016 | 50 Comments

“Most of this talk would have got me arrested in Europe.”
— Milo Yiannopoulos in Orlando, June 15, 2016

Milo Yiannopoulos (@nero on Twitter) has emerged in the past two years as one of the most controversial figures in New Media. When he appears on college campuses, students erupt in riotous protests. So where are the profile features by the New York Times, Esquire, Vanity Fair, GQ? Where is the TV news coverage of Milo’s campus speaking tour? Why isn’t Milo being interviewed by Stephen Colbert or Anderson Cooper?

The news industry seems intent on pretending Milo does not exist.

This is called “no platforming” — effectively marginalizing opposition to progressivism by denying opponents access to audiences. This practice has been used, for example, to prevent Christians from defending their faith against atheists, to prevent pro-lifers from debating abortion advocates, and to marginalize critics of global warming theory. In recent years, radical feminists who oppose the transgender cult have been “no platformed” by the National Union of Students in Great Britain.

On Wednesday, Milo was briefly suspended from Twitter — where he has 300,000 followers — on the same day he gave a news conference at the site of the massacre in Orlando. Milo is a very “out” homosexual, and you might suppose that his appearance at the Pulse nightclub would be considered newsworthy, except for three minor problems:

  1. Milo is pro-Second Amendment.
  2. Milo is pro-Donald Trump;
    and
  3. Milo is warning about the danger of radical Islam.

He is an un-person, from the perspective of the New York Times, CNN and other propaganda organs of the Democrat Party.

Video of Milo’s press conference (skip to the 12-minute mark):

You see why the media is determined to ignore Milo. The Left’s worldview requires not only the exclusion of facts and logic, but also the exclusion of people who don’t fit the stereotypes of the Left’s opponents.

UPDATE: The latest headline via Memeorandum:

Milo Yiannopoulos Slams Twitter
For Being ‘Sharia-Compliant,’
Credits Drudge With Reinstatement

The mainstream media will nevertheless ignore this.

Shocking News: @MaraWritesStuff Announces She Is Not Heterosexual

Posted on | June 14, 2016 | 36 Comments

 

The name Mara Wilson probably means nothing to you, and I’d never heard of her until today when I saw this headline:

Mara Wilson is Queer: Actress Felt
Moved To Say She’s One Of Us

Considering that this headline is from the lesbian feminist site Autostraddle, you might think “one of us” is a synonym for lesbian, except no, she’s “queer,” which is more like a synonym for bisexual maybe.

Actually, the word “queer” has become an elastic umbrella term that can mean anything or nothing except that Feminism Is Queer, as Professor Mimi Marinucci has explained. There may actually be heterosexual feminists out there in 2016, but if so, they seem to be extremely embarrassed about it. Heterosexuality is now practically a hate crime, according to Third Wave social justice feminism. While homosexuality is not yet mandatory for young feminists, none of them would dare say they’re against it, whereas every feminist now constantly spews venomous hatred toward heterosexual men. Merely being male makes you complicit in rape and patriarchal oppression, and no feminist ever wants to hear anything a heterosexual male has to say, so shut up.

OK, so who the heck is Mara Wilson, and why would anyone care that she is bisexual maybe? She was a child actress who appeared in five movies, including Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) when she was 6 and Matilda (1996) when she was 9. Now she writes books and posts pictures of her cat on Twitter, where she has 276,000 followers. So, after the Orlando shooting she Tweeted that “the LGBTQ community has always felt like home” and subsequently clarified by describing herself as a “2” (on the Kinsey Scale) and saying she has “embraced the Bi/Queer label lately.” Also, she made the point that she is “a left-leaning Jewish atheist.”

So to summarize, Mara Wilson is a typical 20-something feminist who hates Jesus and Republicans (not necessarily in that order) and whose hobbies are Communism, cunnilingus, and collecting cats.

This has been your daily Non-Heterosexual Semi-Celebrity Update.

You’re welcome, America.

Shorter @AmandaMarcotte: ‘Masculinity Killed Those Gay People in Orlando’

Posted on | June 14, 2016 | 157 Comments

“The horror story of Orlando lays bare what damage that this kind of dominance-oriented masculinity does to our society . . . It’s a stark reminder of why we, as a country, need to get past the politics of tough guy posturing and move towards a more thoughtful, inclusive society.”
— Amanda Marcotte, June 13, 2016

“Progressives only have one good trick, and men keep falling for it.
“They keep calling you a coward, so that you’ll do or say whatever they want to prove that you are not a coward.”
— Jack Donovan, Nov. 28, 2015

Some things are predictable — Muslims murdering innocent people, for example, and also Amanda Marcotte saying incredibly stupid things:

A picture is quickly starting to form of who Omar Mateen, the shooter, was. His ex-wife describes a man who was controlling and abusive. A colleague says he was always using racial and sexual slurs and “talked about killing people all the time.” Both his ex-wife and his father describe him as homophobic, with his father saying he spun into a rage at the sight of two men kissing. He was clearly fond of guns, having not one, but two concealed carry licenses. He worked at a security firm, a career that can be attractive to men with dominance and control issues. He was investigated by the FBI in 2013 for making threats to a coworker.
There is a common theme here: Toxic masculinity.

Marcotte then goes on to distinguish “toxic masculinity” as a specific thing that means, basically, “things men do that feminists don’t like,” which is to say, everything men do, except (a) shut up, and (b) vote Democrat. Of course, Omar Mateen was a registered Democrat — a fact that Amanda Marcotte omits from her description of his “toxic” traits, because her definition of “toxic masculinity,” like everything else Amanda Marcotte has ever written, is nothing more than partisan propaganda.

This is one of the aspects of contemporary feminism that, I think, gets too little scrutiny. To what extent can the “feminism” of Amanda Marcotte, Jessica Valenti, et al., be distinguished from the general political and policy agenda of the Democrat Party? And with Hillary Clinton running for president, this simple-minded “vote your vagina” message is being echoed and amplified by the media to such a deafening level that we can scarcely hear anything else. Propaganda always requires demonizing scapegoats who, according to the political calculus of the Democrat Party in the 21st-century, are always male, always white, and always Christian. Democrats win elections by maximizing their vote among unmarried women, among black and Hispanic voters, and among atheists. This divide-and-conquer tactic of identity politics appeals to utterly irrational impulses, the tribal tendency of people to thinks of themselves in opposition to a hated Other, so that their emotions — including self-pity and envy — overpower their ability to analyze policy and calculate their own actual best interests. Trust me, I used to be a Democrat.

My sentimental working-class attachment to the party of “the little guy” blinded me to the reality that Bill Clinton (a) never actually give a damn about any “little guy” except his own penis, and (b) was never going to implement any policy that would actually help my wife, my children, or myself. My parents were both loyal “yellow dog” Democrats, and I never even met a Republican until my junior year in college, so it took me until about 1994 before it dawned on me how thoroughly Bill Clinton had bamboozled, scammed and hustled me. Some people never figure out what a complete fraud the Democrat Party is, because they never see through the propaganda slogans — “Equality! Progress! Social Justice!” — and never ask questions like, “What has the Democrat Party done for Detroit?” or “Why are taxpayers fleeing from California to Texas?”

Amanda Marcotte will never ask herself those questions because she is a professional Democrat. The only reason she is published at all is because she is a reliable partisan propagandist who can be counted on to put a “feminist” imprint on whatever spin serves the political needs of the Democrat Party at any particular moment. She is too stupid even to understand how transparent her hackery is:

So, to be excruciatingly clear, toxic masculinity is a specific model of manhood, geared towards dominance and control. It’s a manhood that views women and LGBT people as inferior, sees sex as an act not of affection but domination, and which valorizes violence as the way to prove one’s self to the world.
For obvious political reasons, conservatives are hustling as fast as they can to make this about “radical Islam,” which is to say they are trying to imply that there’s something inherent to Islam and not Christianity that causes such violence.

Notice how “radical Islam” is in quotation marks, as if nothing of the kind actually exists — it’s a paranoid right-wing fantasy that Muslims want to kill us, according to Amanda Marcotte — who then does an reversal so obvious as to be childish. The subject at hand, after all, is an atrocity committed by the son of an Afghanistan Taliban supporter, and yet for some reason, Amanda Marcotte insists that what we should be discussing is the real problem of “toxic masculinity” among Christian men.

It’s those Lutheran extremists and radical Methodists we must fear, according to the hacktastic Marcotte, and why? Because Christian men are “living in fear” and “posturing” as tough guys:

Toxic masculinity aspires to toughness but is, in fact, an ideology of living in fear: The fear of ever seeming soft, tender, weak, or somehow less than manly. This insecurity is perhaps the most stalwart defining feature of toxic masculinity. . . .
If toxic masculinity was just about men posturing around each other in a comical fashion, that would be one thing, but this persistent pressure to constantly be proving manhood and warding off anything considered feminine or emasculating is the main reason why we have so many damn shootings in the United States.

You see? For the propaganda purposes of a Democrat Party hack like Amanda Marcotte, the story is not about the actual story — i.e., the specific motives of the Orlando shooter — because that story is not good for the Democrat Party. No, the narrative must be twisted so that somehow, this heinous act committed by a registered Democrat can be shown to reflect badly on the kind of men who vote Republican, for example, gun owners:

Toxic masculinity is also the reason it’s so easy for men with major issues to get a hold of the high-powered weaponry necessary to commit these crimes. Sure, the pro-gun movement in this country likes to roll out a bunch of half-baked pseudo-arguments pretending at rationality to justify the lack of gun control in this country, but really, the emotional selling point of guns is that they feed the cult of toxic masculinity. Being able to stockpile weapons and have ever bigger and scarier-looking guns is straightforward and undeniable overcompensation insecure men, trying to prove what manly men they are.

Translation: “White men with small penises vote Republican!”

This is merely a sexualized insult and, in point of fact, is contradicted by actual crime statistics. Maybe white guys own more guns but Justice Department numbers show that black guys and Hispanic guys are more violent and, as a feminist like Amanda Marcotte would be obligated to mention, if she were not just a Democrat Party hack, violence against women is more common in minority communities.

Does Amanda Marcotte think everyone is as stupid as she is? Does she think she can just hatefully insult people for spite — “White guys are gun-crazy murderers because they’re overcompensating for their small penises!” — and that nobody will fact-check her claims? Does she think she can just blame “toxic masculinity” as “the main reason why we have so many damn shootings,” and that no one will mention Chicago, where there have already been nearly 1,700 shootings this year, including 256 fatal shootings? June is not halfway over, and there have already been 27 homicides in Chicago this month, but does Amanda Marcotte blame the violence in Chicago on “insecure men, trying to prove what manly men they are”? No, because Chicago is a Democrat fiefdom whose Mayor Rahm Emanuel is Obama’s former chief of staff. Nor can Amanda Marcotte, who lives in Brooklyn, be bothered to notice deadly violence when it strikes close to home, as when Michelle Marks was shot to death in Brooklyn Bridge Park this month:

On Tuesday afternoon, investigators arrested Lamont Wright, an ex-boyfriend of Ms. Marks; she had filed harassment complaints against him, including one on Sunday, authorities said.
Mr. Wright, 53 years old, has a criminal history that includes two stints in prison, the first starting in 1990, and is currently on probation, authorities said. In 2007, he pleaded guilty to a charge of third-degree rape in a case in which he admitted having consensual sex with a 16-year-old girl he met on a chatline, authorities said. He was sentenced to six months in prison and 10 years probation.
Family members said Ms. Marks had planned to use her day off Tuesday to seek a restraining order against Mr. Wright. The two had dated on and off until about two weeks ago when she ended the relationship, they said.
The woman’s mother, Pauline Marks, said that in the report her daughter filed on Sunday, she told police Mr. Wright had a gun and she was afraid of him.

 

Lamont Wright is a career criminal with 15 prior arrests, but for some reason Amanda Marcotte didn’t cite him as an example of “a specific model of manhood” that “valorizes violence as the way to prove one’s self to the world.” The death of Michelle Marks inspired no pious feminist sermons about “men with dominance and control issues,” because some murder victims are more equal than others in the eyes of a dishonest Democrat propagandist like Amanda Marcotte. No, she has her hobby horse and she’s going to ride it:

That’s why any attempt to discuss putting even the smallest, most commonsensical restrictions on guns turns into a bunch of right wing dudes squeeing about how the liberals are coming to taking their guns. This isn’t a discussion being held on the plane of rationality, but is a psychological drama about these men’s fears of emasculation, represented in an unsubtle way over their attachment to guns and their fear that liberals, stereotyped as effeminate in their imagination, are coming to steal the guns away.
And, of course, in the Orlando situation, we have the added problem of homophobia, which is called a “phobia” for a reason, since it’s so often rooted in toxic masculinity and the terror of anything even remotely feminine.
What is particularly frustrating about all this is that, even though toxic masculinity is clearly the problem here, you have a bunch of conservatives running around and pushing toxic masculinity as the solution, as if all we need to end violence and terrorism is a bunch of silly posturing about who is the biggest man of all the menfolk out there.

Whenever you want a discussion “held on the plane of rationality,” Amanda Marcotte’s the first name that comes to mind, right? She thinks you are too stupid to see what she is doing when, in fact, these propaganda tactics have been analyzed brilliantly by Jack Donovan:

Progressives use every man’s natural fear of showing fear to manipulate him — inventing fake “phobias” and implying he is afraid of everything they want. But what men are truly afraid of are the legal, social and financial consequences associated with challenging the progressive agenda. . . .
Progressives get men to do whatever they want by manipulating our fear of being afraid. When you recognize this manipulation, you’ll begin to see it in nearly every argument appealing to men and every progressive narrative written about men. Their strategy is to portray masculine men, even men who have demonstrated courage in battle or in legitimately heroic endeavors where they have faced and overcome fear, as being driven primarily by fear and a sense of inadequacy.

Read the whole thing. Once you learn to spot the psychological manipulation tactics of propaganda, you resent the arrogance of people like Amanda Marcotte almost as much as you despise their dishonesty.

This is certainly an interesting development. Do you think maybe Amanda Marcotte will revise her claims to take account of this new information? Gay Democrat kills gay people in gay nightclub he had visited frequently? How do these facts fit into her “toxic masculinity” theory?

Oh, and what about the fact that gay patrons of the Pulse club blocked the door, preventing other people from escaping the gunman?

But never mind the facts, I guess.

Amanda Marcotte is a Democrat, and facts don’t matter to Democrats.

UPDATE: Guess who noticed the latest headlines?

Amanda Marcotte’s rationalizations show how feminism is a cult ideology. No matter what the facts are, a feminist can never admit she is wrong.

All males are sexist oppressors and all women are victims of patriarchy — these are the unquestionable premises of Feminist Logic™ — and everything is interpreted as evidence that proves feminism is right.

So if a Muslim Democrat kills 50 people at a gay nightclub, this proves “toxic masculinity” is to blame, and if it turns out the killer was gay himself? Well, this doesn’t prove Amanda Marcotte was wrong, because she is a feminist and it is therefore impossible for her to be wrong.
