When I was on the RamZPaul Show, he asked about something and we ended up talking about the lunacy of the age. If you take a step back, it is as if the people in charge are putting on a show. It is supposed to be ridiculous. They are killing time with this stuff to entertain each other. We just happen to be seeing it, but the whole point of it is to keep the Cloud People entertained.

Therefore, the best response from normal people is to laugh at it, maybe just shrug and ignore it if possible. Back when I was just starting out, this was what a few managers decided to do when we were sent off to sensitivity training. This is what they called diversity training back in the before times. They decided to do the absolute minimum in the training class and show it no respect.

One of them brought a newspaper and another one had a paperback. They sat in the back and read while the African guy did his thing at the front. Having a fresh off the boat African do the training was a bad choice, as he struggled to read his lines. He kept looking to the back of the room where the rebels were ignoring him. He never said anything to them, and the class ended without incident.

Of course, it is hard to ignore what is going on, but that does not mean we have to treat it with respect or pretend it is serious. A pervert in your kid’s school is serious, but his make-believe nonsense about gender is not serious. Anyone playing along with it deserves to be mocked and ridiculed. Laughing in the face of someone announcing their pronouns is the revolutionary act of this age.

People on our side get vexed with Tucker for not going hard, but his best weapon is the Tucker face he uses when mocking these people. The same is true of Elon Musk, who shows signs of sanity, but never looks too long in our direction. Him being a billionaire shit-poaster is the best he can do, and he does real damage to the people demanding the dissidents get censured by big tech.

In other words, they are the best they can do. In an age when things will have to get much worse before there is an opportunity to change things, the best you can do is immiserate the people in charge. When their best weapon is menticide, your best weapon is a healthy attitude and indifference to their tricks. Lunatics hate being mocked as much as they hate being ignored.

Make scrotums manly again! We need more “scrotum studies” stories to go along with Xirl science and contributions from DEI/CRT “scholars”.

Laughing or enraging wouldn’t change anything. They won, we lost. Simple like that.Blackpill? Absolutely yes.But it don’t matter.All conscious people have to build their life to be ready for escape. Money, heath, network relationship, etc.Helping ourselves, helping the ones we care about. Not a 100% Blackpill, that said. As a Christian, I strongly think a) God will triumph at the end, and b) this crazy ugly leftist society is not sustainable at reasonably middle termEven if nuclear fusion, biotech or AI could produce gigatons of wealth, wokist societies have no future.

For those who still adhere to the belief that we can talk our way out of the mess we’re in (i.e. persuasion-based remedies), there is an excellent blog post up at sonar21.com (Larry Johnson’s blog) with a guest commentary written by a PhD in psychology that details the mechanics of self-delusion and why it is largely immune to external verbal remedy. Bottom line – brain wiring is hard to alter without a severe and persistent external stimulus to motivate change. IOW, if you are only getting a single meal every other day, you are not likely to fret about putting a tampon dispenser in the boys bathroom because “transgender rights.”

I listen to Z’s show in the car in two segments on the weekends since I have to drive a route that takes just about 30 minutes on Saturday and Sunday late at night. I notice that this scrotum stuff is in the show but not the essay. I usually look forward to listening but this weekend, hmmm…. I’ll still listen but I’m gonna be cringing until I’m past that part!

Just finished the podcast, and I have a question.After listening to this litany of the breadth and depth of the insanity afflicting the USA and EU, is there any realistic remedy that does not require a wholesale collapse as the initiator of redemption? IOW, what other realistic alternative might actually succeed in getting us back to a place of sanity and normalcy?Mind you, as our host has spoken, there is no reasoning with people this deluded or stupid as to make scrotum appearance an issue of governmental imperative. We have major public works (roads, bridges, sewer systems, flood control levees, etc.) that are in horrendous disrepair; but someone in government service has prioritized scrotum aesthetics over these essentials.God help us.
Jeffrey Zoar #350105 April 14, 2023 0
Any “fast” collapse that could accomplish that probably requires rubble. Lots and lots of rubble. Otherwise I think we’re talking decades. The kind of collapse that looks fast in the history books but not in real time.
Intelligent Dasein #350110 April 14, 2023 0
Yes, there is a solution (of a sort) that does not require a complete collapse, plus it has the advantage that individuals can implement it on their own without waiting for a political leader to step up. It’s actually quite simple. I’m going to sound like a broken record, because I’ve mentioned it many times before, but hopefully it will start sinking in.The solution: Disengage from consumerism and pay off your debt. The simple expedient of getting out of debt engages the enemy on every front simultaneously.First, it cuts off the source of their social power over you. The only reason that the HR ladies and DIE instructors are held in such fear is because they can “cancel” you, which in practical terms means causing you to lose your job. Their power is not some new and mysterious occult force, it’s really just the power of the purse—same as it ever was. The best way to beat them is to do what Russia did and disengage. If you pay off your mortgage, your car, and don’t have a bunch of monthly credit card bills coming due, that’s like having FU money. They can’t intimidate you because you don’t need them anymore. That freedom opens up immense possibilities for you and your family.Second, it starts drying up the slush funds. One of the most important revelations of recent years, and one that few people are talking about, is the extent to which the financial system acts as a giant money launderer for woke causes. SVB and FTX were up to the gills in funneling money to Ukraine and BLM and God knows what else, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. But this kind of unaccountable financial system cannot exist without financial repression; it thrives on suppressed interest rates and inflation. Just imagine what would happen if we all stopped turning over our money to these institutions. They would all collapse. If we turned every bank in SVB, no more money for the wokesters.Third, living within your means reduces the power of “woke” corporations. I’m not talking about things like boycotting Bud Lite, although that should certainly be done as well. I’m talking about superseding the whole notion of the publicly traded corporation, which is really an idea whose time has gone and will not be viable in the future. The things we really need in life—i.e. foodstuffs, energy, and chemicals—have extremely cheap, unbranded, wholesale solutions that do not require you to go through a bevy of corporate middlemen who put woke ad campaigns above core competence. The trick is in learning to think of things solely in their material significance rather than as branded, hyper-realistic corporate logos. If Cheerios is basically wheat flour, then just buy wheat flour. Buy it by the 100lb sack and feed your family for six months for the price of a single trip to the grocery store. Make everything generic.Every citizen should do what he can to keep interest rates up, inflation down, and corporations out. We have it within our power to do so, by our own decisions and actions. This is how you take back your freedom.

Everything you have said is wise and good advice, but as our host has said in regard to Libertarianism, it can only work in a world inhabited by nerdy white guys with high IQs. Ditto for your invocation of pioneer thriftiness and financial prudence. It can only work in a largely homogeneous Caucasian nation with strong moral fortitude and work ethic. History will eventually record that at least 10 million illegals have entered the US in the past few years, and that is no trivial impact. And a slow decline means that we fail in slow motion like the frog in the pot where the temperature is being raised a degree at a time and he never tries to jump out until its too late. I don’t think passive abstinence alone is a realistic solution.
Intelligent Dasein #350122 April 14, 2023 0
Hi TomA,Thank you for your reply. I just wanted to say that there is a lot more going on behind my theory than just “passive abstinence.” I am essentially talking about waging a financial war against the powers that be. This is the real struggle. The Deep State doesn’t thrive on racial issues or sexual identity issues; it thrives on financial repression. This is thesolesource of its power. For decades it has been waging a financial war against the ordinary citizens who did not even know what was happening to them. Now we know.The Z-man is always talking about a quest for a new morality. Well, I disagree with the use of that term because there is no such thing as a new morality. Morality simply is what it is. However, I understand the import behind the term and I understand what drives the desire to talk about it. The way to actualize Z-man’s “new morality” in real life is to demand a culture of hard currency and sober valuations. This puts a reality check on governments and businesses and eliminates a lot of the nonsense.The first step is reducing overall debt loads. Nothing will be accomplished until we wrest back from government the power to print money without consequences. The market itself is our ally in this if we learn how to make use of it. It will not do to say that it all depends on high IQ people.Everybattle,everyendeavor worth doing, depends on will, intellect, organization, and effort. If we foreswear those, we’ve given up everything. Yes, leaders need to lead the way, but we don’t lack for those.The financial war is both winnable and necessary. It is paramount to wage it, to help people understand it, and to concentrate our efforts there.
TomA #350130 April 15, 2023 0
At the root, your plan is to attempt to persuade others that they should wage a covert action against the corrupt elites using a specific financial strategy to defeat them. But what if most Americans are not persuadable and just carry on with their head in the sand? This is the same problem with voting harder, it relies upon the wishful thinking that an epidemic of sanity will break out and the herd will change direction based some magic words of persuasion.I don’t think human nature works that way. People tend to stick with the status quo as long as they remain comfortable in their personal lives. Only a change in environment (collapse and return of real hardship) will shake them up enough to alter their behavior.

Intelligent Dasein, TomA, Kudos to both of you for this discussion of the theoretical/meta, and the practical implications thereof and conduct of life that flows from this. Each of you have your points, but instead of cancelling each other out, resulting in a Mexican standoff, ways forward that take into account each of your insights can issue. Thank you both, and thank you, Zman for sparking such dialogues.

It also requires a good woman to do all the cooking…. ps–it has arrived in my small town, today at the local grocery store, a tiny Central American woman (Maya or Inca looking) approaching all the (white only) shoppers in the parking lot with a printed card saying I have no work papers and need money (not groceries understand–MONEY) for rent and food and I have 2 children. This while her team leader watched closely from inside her car.

haven’t there been myriad periods of societal “madness” throughout history? it seems like they don’t often lead to full collapse. the boomers dying off will have a salutary effect on AINO, and ironically the mud people are mostly immune to the current madness. to my mind TPTB are misplaying their hand very badly, and undermining their hold on power with every hare brained decision they make. what comes next will be very different than peak America, but I really don’t see a nightmare scenario unfolding either.
Jack Dodson #350124 April 14, 2023 0
“what comes next will be very different than peak America, but I really don’t see a nightmare scenario unfolding either”I truly am undecided on that last point. Most of Europe over time manifested as intact nation-states and eventually thrived after the Roman collapse (admittedly not a precise analogy), and this very well could happen here regionally, but the modern leadership, ironically, is far more barbaric. It is shaping up to be quite the ride regardless of how it shakes out. Whether for good or bad, those driving this crazy train doesn’t know what happens after it derails, either. Every day the ad hoc nature of the lunacy becomes more apparent.

The WSJ reporter’s background is laughably suspicious. No surprise, his Early Life is exactly what you’d think, but his parents emigrated from Russia and he grew up in Princeton, NJ. So, Russian Jews for parents and he’s around Princeton. Hmm.And then, there’s his career path.He graduated from Bowdoin in 2014. Just two years later, he’s writing articles for the New York Times. I’ve known people in the reporting business who worked for decades to get into places like the NYT or WaPo. This guys is writing for the NYT at 24.He then goes to the Moscow Times, which isn’t crazy given his background but still, makes you wonder. He then goes to work for the French news agency while remaining in Russia. And then to the WSJ in 2022.This guy screams intelligence. He might not be an actual intelligence agent, but he’s certainly been working with them for a long time.

“Therefore, the best response from normal people is to laugh at it, maybe just shrug and ignore it if possible.”You can’t ignore it, because it won’t ignore you. It’s coming for you and yours—and that’s not simply by accident.Today’s rave in conservative circles are two transgender affirmation incidents which now have made the news. One, Washington State has coded into law that the State may affirm/provide transgenderism and transition care to children without parental consent—nor even notification. Two, a women from somewhere, I forget, poignantly tells the tale of her 11 yo daughter who was guided into transition by her primary school counselor and nurse in secret. The child fortunately finally told her mother what had occur after months of it being fostered and hidden by the school.I believe these incidents to be true and increasingly common. You’re right, I can laugh it off—when it happens to the “other guy”. But when it happens to my family, laughter changes to rage—as it should for all those who would attack your family.
Jack Dobson #350074 April 14, 2023 0
Right. The ones who push this evil demand attention. I can avoid it, some can minimize it, but for most it is a constant in their lives and the choices are either to submit or resist, often at high costs. As psychotic as transgenderism is, it has proved a powerful tool in the hands of totalitarians.

In Elon Musk’s interview with that BBC stooge, he did what so many on the cuck right refuse to do, and that is fight the idea that the left has the right to dictate reality (“misinformation”) and that it has the assumed moral high ground. He challenged the very idea that the BBC is an authority on what reality is and that they have the right to determine what we can and cannot say and think. And as you saw, the guy had absolutely no counter. He was absolutely flummoxed, had absolutely nothing to say, because he has operated with these assumptions his entire career, it is like oxygen. That’s the only way to combat these people, you cannot concede a single point to them. One of the easiest points to not concede has to have been that a person can be born “in the wrong body” and need a lifetime of medical intervention and drugs to “correct” it, but sure enough, as as soon as it got going, the NR posted an op-ed talking about the conservative case for transgender, and, unfortunately, the entire cuckservative crowd operates along the framework of that op-ed.
Compsci #350076 April 14, 2023 0
What Elon does, and this is not hard even for those of us with little rhetorical skill and experience, was to ask a couple of simple questions: “How do you define…?” and “Can you provide a specific example of this?”The BBC interviewer was not prepared for this simple response. He was used to interviewees accepting his premises and going on the defensive. Elon Musk went on the *offensive* instead and attacked the stooge’s premises thus leaving the BBC stooge defenseless. He then followed that jab with the knockout blow, “You don’t know what you’re talking about do you?”If there had been a referee (in this case a moderator) he’d have counted out the BBC stooge and changed the subject (hate speech on Twitter).The irony here is that it was the *same* BBC that sent another stooge to interview another intellect far above her ability. That intellect was Jordan Peterson and the BBC stooge some women whose name I forget. You can Google the interview. It’s famous. The situation was slightly different in that the BBC stooge tactic here was to attempt to reframe JP’s responses to support her implicit assertions. JP was having none of that and continued to simply say, “That’s not what I said…”. 😉

The country I know the most “based” types in is Japan, and their impression is that their government/etc. is trying *very hard* to succumb to America—the present-day globohomo one, not the older one that Japanese people think well of—but the masses minimally resist it, just barely enough, for now.From outside I think their recent shot upward in obesity stats means they’ve lost. And their media is almost fully Westernized. It’s aesthetically superior, not all loud and stupid, but 20th century PBS/NPR weren’t loud and stupid either.Also, when Abe was murdered, no “Abe party” was formed in his memory, and the one legitimately famous Japanese person I know was SCARED TO DEATH to say that Abe being shot in the street was bad. She just took a few days off.

Worked on the geriatric unit of a hospital early in my working life. Saw many elderly scrotums while on the job. That descriptor of “least ugly” is so apt. Reminds me of an old camp song we used to sing as teenagers, regarding body parts hanging low. Thanks for the hearty laugh, Zman!

I had been the Marine Reserves (and one war) for 4 years when I had to sit through the first sexual harassment training in 1993. Everyone was laughing and joking – even the Master Sergeant teaching it didn’t take it seriously other than to keep us out of trouble when around females. Thirty year later I bet those classes are taught by true believers and nobody would dare laugh or joke,

They don’t want the same of number cars on the road that we have now. That is the biggest part of the electric push and making auto ownership more expensive. None of them have thought through the capacity problems you mentioned either. I would say it is a split between true believer green zealots and elites who just want less time sitting in traffic.
Ploppy #350049 April 14, 2023 0
That’s exactly what I thought. An electric car costs like $65k on average. I don’t think there’s any ability for poor people to buy a used beater electric car since the cost is all in the battery, and an old lithium battery is near useless. You ever try to use an old laptop without it being plugged in? Worn out laptop batteries hold charge for maybe an hour tops.This is all kinds of winning for the elites. No more traffic, urban poor are more or less trapped where they live and can knife each other on the bus, and the rural poor are driven from their homes to live among the urban poor and be miscegenated.
Compsci #350079 April 14, 2023 0
They don’t care about poor people and their transportation needs. Remember, before EV’s, Obama had his “clunker” destruction program. Paying premium prices for workable used cars to be destroyed. Those cars were in the price category that the poor could afford. The dilemma was brought up at the time. The response,’Let them use public transport’.

An under-noticed elite/”elite” motivation: never wanting to encounter the rest of us, and especially not any evidence of our *individual* existence. You invisibly packed into a train like livestock is a vision of civilization, but you in your car that you picked out yourself—maybe you even customized it LIKE A HICK LOSER—and are driving to who knows where, is an insufferable affront. Apply to housing, schooling, masking, “small gatherings,” the internet when it still had people on it, 23 brands of deodorant, the Rural Purge, etc. etc. Everything that even minimally reflects you has to go.

Great segment, Zman! I actually agree with almost everything that black professor says about discrimination/DEI. There *is* entrenched racial discrimination today. WHITE people are insulted, marginalized, excluded from desirable positions, and generally treated as second-class citizens. It’s particularly galling that this happens in countries that white people either dominated from time immemorial as their ancestral homelands, or founded for themselves and their posterity.

The worst part of the Gaia worshiping crowd is that they never want to outlaw anything, they want to price the middle class out of middle class life. That is the point of the electric car stuff. The wealthy will get to drive around in their 150k electric cars and everyone else takes the bus. Or they put a “carbon tax” on jet fuel so the wealthy can continue to fly around on their private jets while we take the train. They want to do this with meat too. Or price people out of heat so we can live in ze pod eating ze bugs and ze Soylent Green chips. while they continue to live in mansions and dining on meats.

Well, well, well…Guess who just discovered lithium deposits at the Salton Sea in California? (A desert scrub region between the Mojave desert and Palm Springs.) See you at the mines, comrade (Think I’m kidding? At Yuma, down by the Mexican border, there was a second dam built concurrent with the famous Hoover dam by Nevada, during the Great Depression. This one wasn’t trumpeted in the papers, though; the working conditions at this WPA camp were so brutal thousands were felled by heatstroke, dysentery, and short rations. They were housed in tents in the desert.)

I used to walk on sidewalks laid down by the WPA at my old university. There was a labor camp in the nearby mountain for the WPA folk building access roads up the mountain. Still exists today and attracts tourists. It looked to me like a Boy Scout camp, rather than a prison.What I always remembered about such times was the difference between then and now. In those days, men down and out scrambled for such job as welfare was scarce and looked down upon. Now welfare is a civil right and “workfare” is deemed a racist insult.Gawd, I hate this society.

Special Needs seems to be the follow on to the moniker, “Special Ed” of perhaps 40 years ago. Back then in our largest school district, the percentage of SpecEd students in k-12 began to grow dramatically. It became the catch all for any student hard to manage or for that matter simply falling behind. At one point, the number of such students labeled began to exceed double digits. Finally, the legislature (IIRC) put a limit/cap of 9% of enrollment to be allowed this classification.

Say and think what you want about Tucker (Cucker) Carlson, but he also used his sneering ‘Tucker face’ to denigrate white identity, which was not only disgusting, cowardly, and traitorous, but completely unnecessary — if asked about it, he could simply have said that given the fact all other races are allowed to pursue their own collective self-interest, it was understandable in today’s political climate where Whites are constantly scapegoated (‘white privilege’, ‘institutional racism’, etc), and are fast becoming a minority — instead Carlson gave aid and comfort to the enemies of Whites, as well as moral cover to anti-white sentiment by describing white identity as a ‘Nazi idea’.I won’t forget it, and neither should you.

Of course, the last perfect man died 2000 years ago. Trump, Jorden Peterson, Tucker, and so forth. All suffered greatly punching in the right direction. None were deemed good enough of a symbol for the cause due to one perceived defect or another and therefore ineligible to become a symbol of martyrdom.The Left doesn’t give a shit.

Trump, Peterson and Tucker never came close to enunciating the message I mentioned. That is what must happen. Preach the unalloyed gospel of race realism for everybody to hear, and then be burned at the stake (hopefully, not literally) for speaking the truth. Two things are thus accomplished. First, everybody hears something terribly important that they’re not even supposed to think. Second, the messenger goes down as a selfless hero. Both lead to dissident converts. And probably a great many. Alas, heroism seems well and truly dead in AINO.

Tucker has been disappointing, of late. Aside from the Shaman stuff (which admittedly got the guy out of jail) there has been nothing else from the J6 footage. That means either there is nothing to see, or Fox is preventing it from being shown, under threat of litigation and/or prosecution.Got to hand it to McCarthy. By giving the footage to Tucker, and only to Tucker, he created a choke point to which pressure could be selectively applied. If the footage leaks, they will know where it came from. It was a trap, and Tucker walked right into it.Also, he has been much more bellicose towards the Chinese than towards Russia. Aside from the ancient grudge of the neocons, the rest of the Deep State doesn’t care where it gets its next war, so long as it gets one.Mouthing platitudes is annoying, but unfortunately necessary, in his case.

Obviously, calling it a ‘Nazi idea’ was shameful, as well as completely unnecessary, as I said — instead of blandly countersignaling, you should have acknowledged, and should now still be willing to acknowledge, both of those straightforward points.

Given the years of anti-white rhetoric and the general anti-white tenor commonly found in the mainstream media today, there has already been plenty of time, and there is no longer any reason to tolerate such rhetoric (‘Nazi idea’) from white men, even Tucker Carlson — one can appreciate other things he has done and is doing and still condemn him here.I think the Asian parents who sued to stop affirmative action are indirectly doing more to help Whites concretely than Carlson has done or perhaps ever will do — the very least he can do is not call white collective self-interest a ‘Nazi idea’.

“Anyone playing along with it deserves to be mocked and ridiculed. Laughing in the face of someone announcing their pronouns is the revolutionary act of this age.”There are two major problems with this. 1) for a LOT of people, your ability to hold gainful employment is not only dependent upon “playing along with it,” but enthusiastically supporting it. It’s literally Soviet, if you stop clapping first at Stalin’s speech you have made yourself a marked man, and 2) Joe Griller and the normies are stupid enough and sheeplike enough to shrug and say “Yeah, I’m good with it.”On the day of the Nashville Christian school shooting by the transgender, the local (((NHL))) team held it’s Gay Pride night. The coach wore his Pride lapel pin with the transgender triangle on the lapel of his suitcoat in the postgame press conference. Every one of the players was a red-blooded white heterosexual boy who know damn well that if he wanted to keep playing in the Big League the thing to do was to STFU and don his Pride jersey celebrating man-on-man anal.The game was sold out. The stupid fat slobs waddled with their children in tow to pay $20 for fifty cents worth of draft beer and watch the spotlights shine gay rainbow colors on the ice. Nobody protested, nobody objected, and the media covered it as if it were as normal as Grandma having an apple pie baking contest at the county fair.Yeah, I mock it and laugh at it. But then again, I got fired from the last shitty job I had for accidentally “misgendering” a transgender.The only way to mock or ignore this stuff is to check out of society completely, and accept that you are going to forfeit money and status as part of the “terms and conditions” of doing so.

A few players have said “no”.Eric and Marc Staal, due to “Christian values”. Both old and almost done their careers. Financially set for life I’m sure.James Reimer, a Mennonite. Also pretty much at the end of his career, although I suspect his refusal is due to truly religious commitment rather than political reasons covered up by religion like the Staals.Other than that, a handful of Russian players have refused. They can go play in the KHL (Russian Hockey League) at any time and make millions there. They probably don’t care that much if they get kicked out of the NHL, and most return to Russia after their careers anyways.Quite brave actions from a small number of players. Pretty much all of them have nothing to lose though. And Reimer would be okay with simply returning to his Mennonite commune in Manitoba instead of playing hockey.What have we learned? Self sufficiency and community is important.

I don’t have an extra piece of paper, and I’m not a prof. Probably would’ve been run out by now, anyway.

Right now I’m working (mostly) from home at my new job. It’s 2 hours away so there’s no other way to do it anyway. They seem OK with me coming in only 1 day a week and it might even be less after I get things set up. My main task seems to be to tell them how to actually do what the previous software devs couldn’t and set up a re-engineered site using modern tools. I suspect some of the departed names I keep seeing in documents were “pronoun-people” who were manly focused on their personal nonsense and had no idea how to actually create working software.I think I get what you’re saying about working from home but honesty, I don’t think I could do the job I do anymore in any other way. The office environment is now completely dominated by insane women and degenerates. Being around these people in real life is bad for health, sanity, productivity, everything. I think some of the “remote work” is designed to humor people who developed Coofism and severe germophobia or whose personalities are too toxic even for the hyper-pozzed modern office. Other people work remotely because that’s the way to avoid wasting time and sanity on interactions with crazy people. Some employers can tell the difference. I hope mine is one.

My theme for work and most of my life now are my favorite two words:Malicious Compliance.For example, we’re coming up on annual performance review time at work. They have self-evaluations that we are supposed to fill out. This year, they are mandatory–no self-evaluation, no “merit increase”. Now we all know that they know exactly how they are going to evaluate us long before we do anything, so I’ve never felt the need to participate in the charade of the self-evaluation.Being a slacker at work (I do my job quite well, but nothing extra), I’ve never rated very high on the performance scale, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make. The people who do rate high do far too much work for that extra 1% raise they get over me.But since the self-evaluation is now mandatory, I will be giving myself the highest marks possible in all categories. My entire goal is to make my evaluator HAVE to justify giving my lower ratings than I rated myself. In other words, I want to make her squirm. Her discomfort is now my goal, seeing as I’m now required to play.Malicious compliance. How do you like me now?

I think that is a great idea.“How did you embody, promote and advocate for our most important Company Objective – Diversity, Inclusion and Equity?”1. 397 times I refrained from calling the master branch master. In design documents I replaced master/slave with leader/follower approximately 11 times.2. Whenever I was asked to interview a white male, I never gave him a chance. I was courteous and professional but I know that we only want to hire blacks so I am always saving our open roles for a black.3. I am proud of my German heritage and even though I wanted to start a German ERG, (I had a clever acronym Sausages and Krauts at Megacorp – SKaM), I knew it would be oppressive and offensive to the people in our vulnerable communities and so I never set up this group, knowing that it would make our company more diverse in all of the wrong ways.4. When I do peer reviews, I always recommend my non-white, non-male allies and co-creationist community members for promotion and give them higher marks. I do my best to confront my biases and adjust downward the rankings for my white-male colleagues. I hope I am down-weighting white males and white females enough to adjust for my implicit biases.5. I championed and delivered on two allyship initiativesa. Operation Gaze Free – I got executive approval to convert 50% of our public spaces into zones where only woman can enter, which cannot be viewed from outside so they can feel safe and free from the male gaze. The conversion was completed with by a female free crew of men who operated in perfect allyship and who attended an Angel Davis reading and workshop.b. Operation Man-Muzzle – I was able to procure and install 100% renewable “MaleyMouth(TM) – Gaia Approved Man Muzzles” stations and keep them stocked as part of our annual budget. Man muzzle dispensers are always 5 feet away from every spot of the office. When women and female identfying co-creators are mansplained, they can interrupt and put the muzzle on any male or male-identifying co-creator.c. I did fall short in implementing my goal of having a POC-Wash on every floor of our offices. The POC-Wash will look like a shoe-shine station but it will be attended by male colleagues who will wash the feet of our POC and POC adjacent co-creators once per day.“How can you do better in meeting this critical objective?”1. If I have an interview loop and there is a Transperson, a black male, a black female or a Latinx person, and each performs the same on the hard and soft skills rubric, which one should I prefer? Perhaps the company can share its quota sheet with me so I can track and hire for achieving the metric. I want to do everything I can, but I feel that the company needs to do more empower me with all of the tools to meet the objective. I will do whatever you need to do and I could do more and better if I had such support.2. I can refuse promotions and raises and give my stock options to non-white people.Fun aside. I think this could be very useful. Imagine the position you would put HR and legal in if you did this. If they reprimand you, they acknowledge that this discrimination is wrong but then you can say they told you to do it – even implicitly. If they fire you, you can point to their massive DIE catalog as guidance to discriminate. If they do not reprimand you, then they openly admit they permit anti-white, anti-male discrimination.We should strongly consider doing this. Great idea Outdoorspro. Malicious Compliance can be an effective weapon not just of mockery, but of exposing the evil morality and illegality of what they are doing. It could put them into a rock and a hard place.

This is hilarious, sort of an updated 2023 version of the various piss-takes from the movie Office Space in the 90s. “So what would you say you do here all day Peter” “Well let me tell ya Bob…” You walk out of the HR meeting expecting to be fired for such blazingly sarcastic f-ckery and once you are out of the room they go- “A real straight shooter that guy! Has upper management written all over him. He really knows how to bring the insanity up to the next level and keep whitey down!”

Yes, the “master” vs. “main” nonsense. If you do anything in software you’ve noticed that the default branch in Git is now supposed to be called “main” rather than “master” because slavery and someone might get hurty feewings hearing a word. The silliest example I’ve come across of this is that the Coq computer logic system has renamed itself because some wammen supposedly got hurty feewings over the name. I’ve joked that we should fork the project, duplicate every feature and update, (it’s open source) and call the fork Cock! just to make its oppressive patriarchal nature super duper clear.No profession has done a political (and psychological) about-face more completely than IT. When I was working in software in the 90s the most common political stance was probably libertarianism with a sizable number of outright commies and, in the defense sector, neocon warmonger Republican types. No one cared about anyone’s feewings and the 3 women in the entire field were bull dykes so they laughed along with the frat boy jokes. The typical younger IT person is a genderqueer whatsit with green hair and facial piercings that look like war injuries. Then again this may be why I just got my new job. My job description seems to be “fix the mess the last three guys who didn’t last long created”. It’s good for my personal bank account but what’s happened to the computer field is a dark omen for the rest of society going forward.

About the auto regulations, you’re going to see more of the weird phenomenon of 2 year old used cars being almost the price of a new car. We’re going to be stuck in a holding pattern of people holding onto their 200,000+ mile gas cars because they can’t afford an EV and used EVs are useless after their batteries can’t be recharged anymore.

If gangs make a market smuggling freon, catalytic converters*, and Chinese knockoffs, just wait til they get into smuggling gasoline and diesel. That’s when the Revolution begins. (A new one in LA: the circuit boards controlling smog systems on semi-trucks. In two hours, they hit 18 trucks parked on a side street overnight in downtown L.A., across from me. The circuit boards go for $3600 apiece; the chip shortage means none are available in less than a six-month lead time.)

“ The circuit boards go for $3600 apiece; the chip shortage means none are available in less than a six-month lead time.)” That makes no sense at all. I’m certainly there are at least 18 used boards available in the market for perhaps $5k over retail. 😉

What Musk did there was a very, very rare moral inversion where the Leftie concedes the point. Or rather – he changed the subject. The usual ending to these exchanges is with the Leftie in tears, or red faced rage, and childish name calling and accusations.You won’t ever have an exchange with these people; because 99% of them won’t ask questions like “who says?” or “by what authority” etc. either. They run on emotion and anything that goes counter to them is BAD… and they don’t have to justify themselves to BAD people. This is why normies used to go out of their way to be polite and kind to them, hoping to get them to listen or think.It’s simple manipulative bullying and we’d better do something about because if we don’t it will only get worse. We are way past debate and discussion with these guys.

I engage in zero discussion with lefties. I despise them at such a high degree that I can’t stand the sight of them. I simply want a society in which to live where they are permanently removed. I have no interest in trying to save them or bring them over. I know they hate me, I simply hate them even more.

Z-man is old, childless, and seemingly financially secure. He can afford to laugh, because it doesn’t affect him and he has no legacy/children to worry about. Tell the man who’s teenage son has just been propagandized into cutting his dick off to “laugh it off.” The right never learns. Z-man is repeating the mistakes of the boomer conservatives who laughed off the liberals marching through academia who were totally sure that as soon as they graduated and got jobs, that they would become natural conservatives after they started paying taxes.

Your point was valid 35 or so years ago. But we’re now at the stage where getting angry just gets you sent to the Gulag–the unemployment line anyway.The people in the Soviet Bloc kept their sanity by laughing (albeit clandestinely) at the idiots in their government. A lot had to happen there before enough people understood how badly off they were but could improve things by resisting–resisting, not violently rebelling. Laughing kept up their spirits in the interim. Things are headed the same way here.Take the time to read Vaclav Havel’s “The Power of the Powerless” and study up on the Solidarity Movement. Fixing this mess will take patience and a long time.As to kids getting their dicks cut off, when that comes up it’s too late to get angry. Better to work on raising the kid well from birth. People have to learn how to do again if there is to be a future at all.

India is set to become the world’s most populous country on April 14, a title China has held for decades.https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4145500/posts 1.4 billion, India1.4 billion, China1.4 billion, Africa749 million, Europe670 million, Latin America375 million, North America44 million, Oceania The White total is roughly Europe + North America + Oceania, which is at most 749 + 375 + 44 = 1168 million, i.e. 1.168 billion. But I’d guess that with the success of the White Genocide project over the course of the last half-century, it’s probably more like 800 million Whites globally.

Funny, and it will be true for about two or three days, Alzabedo. Looting is a lot like food stamps: it all depends on availability. Probably sooner than we think, the free stuff army will find the gibs ain’t magically on the shelves and, shee-it. Ol’ massa Darwin will kick in, and Shitavious and Shaneeka soon will realize their places in the world aren’t quite as prominent as they have been led to believe. It will be very unpleasant for all of us, and unsurvivable for all the predictable suspects. Scarcity will have a few upsides although gentrified neighborhoods will not be among them, along with suburbs within walking distance of the ‘hood.
