A Cautionary Point About 2018

Posted on | May 15, 2017 | 2 Comments

by Smitty

The Z Blog has some of the most thought-provoking posts going these days. A post today about a French province trying to counter the Revolution is quite instructive:

The revolt in the Vendée region, on the west coast of France, began with the March 1793 conscription requiring Vendeans to fill their quota of 300,000 men for the army. The enraged populace took up arms and quickly formed a Catholic Army. What started as a demand for reopening the churches and getting their priests back, turned into a Royalist counter rebellion against the Republic. Initially, the Republicans were caught off-guard and the rebels enjoyed some success, even though their army was ill-equipped.

The Republic got its bearings and sent a 45,000 man army to suppress the rebellion and by the fall of that year the rebel army was defeated. The Committee for Public Safety decided that beating the army was not enough and opted for pacification. Whether or not the word “genocide” is appropriate is debatable.

Do read he whole thing.

The Democrats and the media urchins have been shamed. “Don’t think we’re not keeping score,” as Obama noted.
I’m not saying to view the Republicans uncritically. However, I daresay that the IRS harassment of the Tea Parties shall have seemed like hugs and cupcakes compared to the peevish, punitive, discriminatory crap that the Deep State would inflict on Trump voters in general, and red states in particular, given another chance.
So maybe we don’t want to let them have that chance.

From Happy Hippies to Angry Dykes

Posted on | May 15, 2017 | Comments Off on From Happy Hippies to Angry Dykes

 

“Does anybody remember laughter?”

Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant asks that question in the live version of “Stairway to Heaven” in the documentary The Song Remains the Same. By 1973, when that concert was recorded, much of the youthful exuberance of the hippie counterculture was gone. The utopian dreams of peaceful harmony — “All You Need Is Love” in the “Age of Aquarius” — had been destroyed by drug overdoses, sexually transmitted diseases and other sordid bummers. Much of this disillusionment was inevitable. The teenager who dropped out of college and went to San Francisco for the 1967 Summer of Love (“be sure to wear flowers in your hair”) was by 1973 a young adult who had to find some way to pay the bills. No more allowance from Mommy and Daddy? Bummer, man. Having to work for a living wasn’t something they’d taken into account when they “tuned in, turned on and dropped out.”

Perhaps even worse than having to go to work, however, the hippies discovered that all that talk of “free love” was a cruel deception. By the early 1970s, human debris from the wreckage of the Sexual Revolution was visible to anyone who paid attention to the rising tide of divorce, abortion and other evils. Radical feminism — what its founders called the Women’s Liberation Movement — was in large measure a reaction against the predatory hedonism of the Sexual Revolution, as Sheila Jeffreys argued in her 1990 book Anticlimax. Nothing could be more false than to believe that the 1960s were totally groovy for all those chicks getting passed around from one hairy hippie dude to the next, like a doobie at a Grateful Dead concert. Alas, those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it, as we have recently seen:

Liberal feminist rhetoric about women’s sexual “empowerment” — mimicking a predatory stereotype of male sexuality — has been repeatedly demonstrated to be flawed in practice, as women who pursue “liberated” sex suffer emotional and physical harm. The so-called “pro-sex” feminism of the Third Wave has predictably produced a radical feminist backlash, with a revival of anti-male/anti-heterosexual ideas first articulated in the 1970s by lesbian separatists like Charlotte Bunch and Marilyn Frye.
What is best for women is lifelong monogamous pair-bonding, and every decent and thoughtful woman understands this. No wise mother would raise her son to be a selfish hedonist, racking up “scores” as a pickup artist, nor would any wise father wish his daughter to be a pawn in such a game.
Feminists, however, reject the marriage-based family that is (or at least, should be) the safe harbor protecting women from insult and injury. The feminist movement’s War Against Human Nature, manifested in a hostility toward the “patriarchal institution” of marriage, has produced the very evils which today’s young feminists protest. . . .

Rule 5 Sunday: Down Home At Stoney’s

Posted on | May 14, 2017 | 3 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

I’m not much for bars these days, what with the diabetes and all, but since I have a passing interest in country music, I’m occasionally tempted to check out Stoney’s, located off the Strip in a hifalutin’ shopping center that also features a Victoria’s Secret and a Whole PaycheckFoods, among other pricey joints. Aside from the obligatory mechanical bull, Stoney’s offers free dance lessons and reasonable drink prices, at least in comparison to clubs on the Strip. This week’s appetizer is one of the bartenders.
As usual, many of the following links are to pics generally considered NSFW. The management is not responsible for any trouble you may get up to through failure to exercise discretion in your clicking.

Nice chaps, ma’am.

Ninety Miles From Tyranny leads off with Hot Pick Of The Late Night, Morning Mistress, and Girls With Guns, followed by Goodstuff with Stevie Nicks,  Animal Magnetism with Rule 5 Third Annual Commencement Speech Friday and the Saturday Gingermageddon, and A View From The beach with Rule 5 Italiano Pubblicita and The Girls Who Sell Gelato.

EBL has Stacy Washington, V-E Day, Amy Coney Barrett, Gillian Anderson, Women of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Elise Stefanik, Dirty Dem Sluts, Rule 5 Oysters, Lesley-Anne Down, and Nancy Kwan.

Proof Positive’s Friday Night Babe is Rashida Jones, his Vintage Babe is Joyce Compton, plus there’s a bonus link to Flowing Curves of Beauty. At Dustbury, it’s Stephanie Roche and Julie London.

Demonic Feminist Rants at Movement’s Male Allies: ‘Know Your Place!’

Posted on | May 12, 2017 | 3 Comments

 

The First Rule of Feminism is SHUT UP!

“I want to address all the men in this audience. . . .
I want to talk to all the men today, who made
placards and banners of pro-choice. . . .
I am saying to all those men:
Know your place! This is a women’s movement!”

Men have no right to speak about feminism. Men have no right to speak to a feminist. Men have no rights at all, according to feminists.

Last week, Heat Street writer Ian Miles Cheong tweeted this video of a demon-possessed woman ranting at a pro-abortion rally:

 

Do not assume that my description of this woman as “demon-possessed” is a joke. Maybe you’re an atheist, and do not believe demons exist. Believe what you want to believe, but I know evil when I see it.

This is the spirit of Satan. This is the face of totalitarian hatred. This is Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mengistu and every other murderous dictator who ever claimed the right to kill in the name of “the people.”

 

This is the face of feminism, a satanic Death Cult.

When I saw this video, I immediately wondered who this woman was, where and when she was speaking. Her name is Amanda, and this speech was at an August 2014 rally in Dublin, Ireland. The inspiration for this rally was a case in which an 18-year-old immigrant was denied an abortion. The girl said she had been raped in her home country — “In my culture it is a great shame to be pregnant if not married” — and after arriving in Ireland, learned she was eight weeks pregnant. An Irish law passed in 2013 permits abortion under certain conditions, one of which is the risk of suicide, and when he pregnancy advanced, the girl became suicidal. She told reporters she was examined by several psychiatrists, but eventually was forced to deliver her baby by caesarean section at 25 weeks gestation, about three months premature.

“Hard cases make bad law,” and no matter what the law is — not just on abortion, but on anything — there will always be exceptional cases where some atrocity makes law enforcement seem inhumane. Anyone who has studied the history of Communism know very well how adept Marxist radicals were at exploiting atrocities for propaganda purposes, and what we have witnessed in the West in the post-Cold War era is a continuation of this Communist tactic by so-called “progressives,” including feminists.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it, and in the demoniac rage of Amanda’s rant at this pro-abortion rally, we behold an omen of the murderous evil that lurks behind the rhetoric of “women’s rights.” Feminism is a movement organized by mentally deranged women with sadistic tendencies. Feminists take pride in their cruelty, motivated by revenge fantasies, a hateful desire to humiliate men.

 

“Know your place!”

Amanda shouts this at men who are there to support the pro-abortion movement in Ireland. With the same kind of totalitarian logic that inspired the blood-soaked nightmares of 20th-century Communism, she insists that members of the oppressed class (women) possess an exclusive right to speak, whereas the oppressors (men) have no rights at all.

Identity politics must ultimately produce totalitarianism. The claim that oppression confers a special status upon members of the oppressed group, who are entitled to seek “social justice” by any means necessary has a blood-soaked pedigree as old as the French Revolution. Having once obtained power, the radicals do not mean to relinquish it, and so they must persecute their enemies (real or imagined), to make examples of them, in order to intimidate any rival who might depose them. Dissenters are denounced as “enemies of the people” — vrag naroda — and woe unto anyone who speaks in defense of the accused.

 

“Know your place! This is a women’s movement!”

Amanda said a lot of interesting things during her tirade. She was speaking on behalf of the Antiracist Network, and wow, does she hate Ireland. Referencing the case of a woman who died after a miscarriage in 2012, she said, “I’m really f–king sorry that you had to face the sh– that you did in this f–king country.” She also apologized to people “who have to die in our own house because the hospitals in this racist country give her disgusting disservice. I am sorry to the women who are still having to go through this sh– in this country because of a cowardly government.”

OK, so if Ireland is such a racist country with a cowardly government, why is Amanda even there? Couldn’t she go back to whatever country she came from? Judging from her comments, Amanda’s homeland must be a much better place to live than Ireland. But no, she’s there, and she’s angry:

“Any woman who is trying to speak about their experience — you know nothing of it, and you must support them! You must listen to them! You must never tell them of any Women’s Studies or international development course that you decided of your own free choice to participate in, because your debate is not my life! . . . Know your place! Because in the patriarchal world, you are guaranteed to always have a platform, so give the world’s sole platform women have to themselves!”

Well, ma’am, you can have your platform to yourself. And my guess is that you persuaded a lot of Irish men to stay as far away as possible from any platform where you’re speaking. Probably some of the men at that Dublin rally went home, had a couple of pints and said to themselves, “Hey, maybe the Pope was right about this abortion thing.”

Once you’ve seen Satan in the flesh, you know you need Jesus.
