19/ It’s very weird, on several levels, that the contemporary variety of social justice has so thoroughly dominated our culture’s ideas without producing one influential work of art, fiction, or music.

That’s because it’s godawful stultifying, boring, and anti-creative. Social justice for some reason came to be all about what you can’t say, can’t do, can’t transgress, or explore, or ask questions about. No great art came directly out of the Spanish Inquisition either, and there’s a very similar reason for that.

“People always learn what they have to, what is appropriate to their environment. Han, you grew up in a culture which has schools for general purpose and schools for every conceivable subclassification of data, but they do not as a rule spread knowledge or wisdom—just assemblies of data. As you have them, schools work on your society just like the differentiating fashions in clothes your sexes use, and hair styles as well—they obscure the innate differences, muddy them, make everyone equal, but it is the equality of a façade. People really are different from one another. And schools obscure the only kinds of knowledge worth knowing.”

–The character Liszendir Srith-Karen in M.A. Foster’s The Warriors of Dawn (1975)

As for that last tweet, that bit of foot-shooting will be responsible for how many hundreds of thousands of deaths that didn’t have to happen? You can blame the anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers (and I do), but the (mostly) liberals with the above and their, “Even after the vaccine, if you go outside with a bare face or hug anyone or even look happy, you have killed ALL THE GRAMMAS!” bear a lot of responsibility too.

Outrageous. It’ll be a crime to come home. All because this rotten, corrupt, incompetent Morrison “government” has abandoned its responsibility to run quarantine. How low can these bastards go ? https://t.co/bAG5eb7Nfp

Lots of countries are essentially becoming prisons to “deal with Covid.” Of course it has nothing to do with Covid, really.

Here is the first push of the lockdown lifers, a real attempt to start up the precursors of the living-in-pods-and-eating-bugs existence of which many liberals dream (mainly for others).

You think I exaggerate, but Covid-19 restrictions (as the article itself even admits) opened the way for this, and oh yeah, there’s gonna be way more of it coming down the pike.

Which color pod would you like? (Just kidding; they’re all gray.)
