Kathy Griffin Losing It

From Ben Garrison:


On Leaving the SJW Cult

From Keri Smith, "On Leaving the SJW Cult and Finding Myself":
I don’t yet know what to call this part of the left. Maajid Nawaz calls them the “Regressive Left.” Others call them SJWs (Social Justice Warriors) or the Alt-Left. The ideology is post-modernist cultural marxism, and it operates as a secular religion. Most are indoctrinated in liberal elite colleges, though many are being indoctrinated online these days. It has its own dogma and jargon, meant to make you feel like a good person, and used to lecture others on their ‘sin.’ “Check your privilege”- much like “mansplaining” and “gaslighting”- all at one time useful terms- have over time lost a lot of their meaning. These days I see them most frequently being abused as weaponized ad hominem attacks on a person’s immutable identity markers….a way to avoid making an argument, while simultaneously claiming an unearned moral highground in a discussion.

Let's Thank Kathy Griffin

This is an absolutely fantastic essay, from Melissa Mackenzie, at the American Spectator, "CNN’s Kathy Griffin and the Face of Tolerant Democrats":

Kathy Griffin should be thanked, at least, for being open about her aims. Her boldness gives the violent game away.

The CNN host, Griffin, these students, and the terrified administrations who enable them, represent power through force, intimidation, aggression, and murder.

Calm exchanges of ideas no longer happen, because one side believes their side is the righteous side. The same zeal that animated towns people to burn the witch, animates the true believers on the Left. The only way to save the sanctity of the community is by eliminating the apostates. More and more people are becoming apostates. The illiberal professors are dismayed to learn this the hard way.

Burn them.

Brand them.

Behead them.

Kathy Griffin should be thanked for making the covert, overt. Her image beautifully reveals the truth of the ideology espoused on the Left: submit or die.

Sound familiar?

Paranoid Paleoconservatives

This is pretty good.

From Jamie Palmer, at Quillette:


Amber Turner Bikini on the Beach in Marbella

At London's Daily Mail, "TOWIE's Amber Turner shows off sensationally slender figure in glitzy peach bikini as she hits the beach in Marbella."

"Towie" is "The Only Way Is Essex," a British soap opera.

Don't care, though. I mostly like the bikini beach photos, heh.

Also at Saw First, "Amber Turner on the Beach in Marbella."

'My hatred of Kathy Griffin isn't a hatred of her — it's a hatred of the vicious caste-based system which says she has more rights than Sean Hannity, and more rights than you, and more rights than me...'

It's Ace, but Kathy Griffin doesn't come up until near the end of this long essay on fighting fire with fire against the social justice left.

See, "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum — Again: It is imperative we begin emulating the left in its tactics..."

'Intersectional Quantum Physics'

That's not really a thing.

But see the Other McCain, "Feminist Insanity at Taxpayer Expense: ‘Intersectional Quantum Physics’."
