Out Of

I’m beyond tired of people saying or implying things like, “If you aren’t on my team, then you’re on the other team.”

I’m not playing a game, and I’m definitely not on your team, their team, any fucking team. Fuck teams, fuck you, and I’m not competing in your little toy world where any of that shit makes any difference.

Get out of my face, hedge-born canker-blossoms.

Mmmmm. Bison

Exactly. Hell, half the fucking US is better-suited to grazing ruminants than mono-cropping. Sure, beef/bison would be a bit more expensive that way, but also vastly more humane.

Untalk

Shhh, don’t think or say these kind of things. The lockdown lifers and liberals (mostly overlapping) will really really want this.

Exterm

I really did think this was a joke at first. Then I hoped it was a joke. Then I realized it was not.

Now I’m just angry and sad at what the internet has become. Sure a lot of people will use this for “convenience.”

We have failed. Let’s destroy it all.

No Way No Pay

I see IT jobs that require a CS degree and a buncha expensive-ass certifications offering $14 an hour.

Minimum, should be $40 an hour. I’d rather go work at fucking Costco for much less hassle for that kind of paltry pay.

Gend Her

How the left talks about gender is extremely odd. These two treatments I’m about to mention occur at the very same time, often in the same set of statements. That is, the left treats gender like it is immutable, so puissant it cannot be altered, “born this way,” carved into titanium tablets and bestowed from on high. And at the very same time they declare it amenable to great alteration at any instant, with it being as mercurial as a spring wind — as if gender were something one could pick out of a wardrobe and then take off at the end of the day.

It cannot be both. So which is it? The left account of gender is incoherent and incomprehensible to anyone who is not in their bubble. I am not (and no, I am not in the conservative idiot bubble either). No, I am outside of all the spume and simmer of those who wish to have their thinking be dimmer.

My contemplations on gender are fairly unpolished as well, but they are not directly contradictory at least. But that’s for another post.

Salute

I first noticed this long before Twitter, on the old blog Pandagon. That was my initial encounter with those who got incandescently enraged at you if you did not agree with them heartily enough. It was not enough to just agree with them — no, you had to agree like you were a recently-inducted Wehrmacht officer attending the Nuremberg rally or you were very bad.

It was totally averse to my way of thinking and of being, and though I didn’t know it at the time this behavior was a harbinger of all that was to later occur in the general discourse. His entire thread is worth reading but I don’t think I will ever get used to the idea that if there is any disagreement, or even failing to agree spiritedly enough, that you are “committing violence” against someone. How the left fell down this trap I don’t know and I don’t care, but it’s a horrible place to be.
