Above the Law

How do you know who is in charge? Who are you not allowed to criticize? That is who is in charge. That is who is above the law.

A recent poster child: Emma Sulkowicz. With that last name, is this an ethnic WASP? No - in fact, it appears to be Polish in origin. So because she's a girl, and an ethnic minority from another country - despite the existence of texts stating "fuck me in the ass" to the alleged rapist - she was allowed to carry around a mattress at all times. She passed this shaming attempt off as "performance art" - of course, the feminists loved it.

She even got to carry it up on the stage when she graduated. This is basically not allowed - yet she and her supportive female friends still did it. There is someone who is above the law.

Next to look at the case of a 14yo girl who was apparently raped at school in Rockville, Maryland. Seems that the alleged rapists were a 17yo from El Salvador and an 18yo from Guatemala. At least one of this pair is an illegal immigrant. Sexual acts forced upon the 14yo by this pair supposedly included:

* vaginal rape
* anal rape
* forced oral sex (oral rape?)

There has been quite a blackout in the mainstream media about this, though I did manage to find the link above to Fox News. Looks like nobody else mainstream would touch it. From what I can tell, there may or may not have been semen and blood recovered from the crime scene.

From what I can tell, both the 17yo and 18yo have been let off scott-free (no surprise for the 17yo, he's a minor). There are two more people who are above the law.

Bound and determined, the media is, to keep things silent. After all, can't have the narrative of "poor, poor victimized people, lets give them a helping hand" tarnished by the facts of them ganging up to rape little girls.

Or maybe that's why pizzagate has gone silent in the news recently. They want their chance at the little girls and boys too. So if you keep it all silent, they can have their shot.

At any rate, if you or your parents weren't born in America - instant get-outta-jail-free card. Pretty much no matter what you do, you can get away with it, you're above the law.

Intellectually Dishonest: Academia

All right, I said that I wouldn't write-and-publish stuff that struck me immediately. Here I go, doing it. So sue me.

This concerns Phillip Zimbardo, famed of the Stanford University Prison Experiment (Lord of the Flies, etc).

Now, I'm going to assume a certain amount of media distortion. (Bad News Sells/If It Bleeds It Leads.)

Zimbardo gave a TED talk in 2011 outlining the problems facing young men's social development and academic achievement, which he puts down to excessive use of porn, video games and the internet.

Here is the article which includes the short TED talk about this also (dating from 2011). Watch the 5-minute video and see if you can spot all the instances of what I will label "willful bias" (try not to cringe in the process).

Unfortunately it comes across as another "blame the men" message. Research 20,000 boys/men who prefer to associate with other men, play games, and watch porn rather than interact with girls/women, have a life, etc. There's something very wrong here. Kneejerk reaction: we will blame the internet and pornography for rewiring these men's brains.

It ends with the subtle man-up message: "But who should care? The only people who should care about this is parents with boys - and girls. Educators, gamers, filmmakers, women - who'd like a real man who they can talk to, who can dance, who can make love slowly, and contribute to the evolutionary pressures to keep our species above banana slugs. No offense to banana slug owners. Thank you."

End scene from "The Crowd Goes Wild."

Completely missing one supremely obvious question that he should have asked: "Why are 20,000 men preferring to associate with other men, play video games, and watch porn - instead of interacting with the opposite sex and being horny little shits like they should be?"

I'm not going to bother eviscerating the video and article any more. You-all have the nouse to do it yourselves.

Overall it looks like Zimbardo has the willful blindness of Academia - which I suppose is understandable, he wants to keep his job. Even if you've got tenure, if you still want to get funded to do research: you have to toe the party line, not anger the feminists and other vested interests, etc. Which further illustrates the bias behind everything which comes out of academia, even when they're supposed to be completely independent.

Ending with basically worthless talks and articles like the above for who-knows-how-much-money wasted.

It is no wonder that the West is in decline. When intellectual dishonesty from our brightest minds does not permit us to actually dig down to the actual roots of the problem, no push to fix the problem will be effective.

I see that Uncle Bob beat me to the punch on this one. Ah well!
