The Lazy Raccoon

No, not the tavern in Bismarck, North Dakota, but just me, too lazy to post anything more than a disorganized jumble of otherwise fine insultainment

Multiculturalism just means multiple standards, which happily for the left redounds to no standards at all.

I can't think of a term for the promise of liberation from one's own nature. Only the source.

Psycho-political viruses, unlike their material analogues, evolve to kill the host. 

Transcendence can never be eliminated from the human state, which always exists in the space between it and immanence. Progressivism pretends to deny it while seeking it from below, in pre-rational instinct, feeling, and dissolution of ego into the hivemind. 

New word: Tyranniscendence. 

Leftism always involves delusions of transcendence in one form or another. What was Obama and his grandiose promises of fundamental change! but a ridiculous, almost slapstick, dream? For the left it doesn't get better than that, and yet, in the end it amounted to nothing. A reminder that there is no political cure for man, and that believing so only makes a man worse than he already is.

Younger readers may not know this, but liberals -- back when Bob was one of them -- used to question authority, embrace reason, and vigorously defend freedom of speech. Now they do the opposite, but retain the brandname. It reminds me of how they still call it Coca-Cola, even though they removed cocaine from the formula in 1929. 

Being a knowledge worker is fine, but today the real money is in ignorance work. It's why half the wealthiest counties in the U.S. surround the imperial capital, and indeed why we have a president who literally knows nothing.

Much of the appeal of progressivism comes down to the joy of contempt. It compensates for the bitterness of envy.   

If only the Resistance could resist indoctrination. Yes, and if only Antifa could resist fascism, or BLM racism.

The '60s was the first decade in which we had more college students than farmers. After that our fate was sealed.

That's also the decade when black elites joined hands with white statists to destroy the black family and ensure a permanent voting bloc. As with ignorance work, the big money is in poverty.

The personal is the political. Translation: the pathological is the political. Hence microaggressions, wokeness, trigger warnings, censorship, cancel culture, et al.

What is the root cause of seeking "root causes"? Denial of free will teleologically ordered to the Good.

What is the first principle of unprincipled postmodern relativism? Denial of the free intellect teleologically ordered to the True.

The Democrat party is an alliance of the top and bottom against the middle. The purpose of eliminating our southern border is to flood the bottom with enough low-IQ parasites to declare permanent victory. Things will get interesting when the unintended consequences inevitably swamp the intended.  

Identity politics is a 5,000 year regression to a time when man's identity, loyalty, meaning, and authority revolved around the tribe. Proving that the "progressive" universe is both closed and circular. 

In contrast, our cosmos is an open spiral, which is the foundation of any conceivable progress.

Must there always be a Sacrifice? Yes, but it can be either His way or his way. What we're seeing in Afghanistan is his way. Come to think of it, the road to Utopia is paved with human sacrifice, every time.

There is no surpassing the principle of Equality under the law. The current arrangement of equity under the lawless is but one small step for the left but a giant leap backward for mankind. 

Any academic department with the modifier "studies" is geared to students for whom no amount of study could result in mastery of a real subject. Whole academic departments had to be invented for certain genders, races, ethnic groups, and sexual deviants. It begs the question of why Asians are so good at white European studies.

25 years ago, Alan Sokal proved to the satisfaction of the left wing reviewers that gravity is a linguistic construct.  In such a universe it isn't difficult to understand how men can give birth, how we can power our economy with renewable energy, how the government can print trillions of dollars without causing inflation, and how defunding the police will reduce crime.
