If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

When everyone is racist, no one is.

Somehow, it doesn't seem to quite work that way.

All the best, Pitch. I'm sure you'll find a way to honour his memory by passing on his best qualities to someone else.

Suggest "China" / "China's Bitch".

I've suggested:
Red Guard / Four Olds
Kulaks / Proletariate
Eloi / Morlocks

So this has started to infect the company I work for. It's a small, private company; maybe 40 people. Mostly Australians, but we have 4 Americans. 3 of the Americans are pushing to change the long standing "Master/Slave" terminology we've had into our software since the beginning.

Reminds me a joke from the USSR:

Two policemen were walking along the road. One turns to the other and says:
"What do you think of the government".
The other policeman thinks quickly and responds:
"The same as you, comrade!"
The first policemen replies,
"I'm sorry, I have to arrest you for sedition."

Somehow this 1945 academy award winning documentary seems appropriate:

That does not seem like a link I want to click

Whatever this is that's going on right now is clearly a religion, but it lacks grace. It isn't that belief in the supernatural is a net good, but that in knifing Christianity we may have unleashed something even more terrible.

I just finished Crime and Punishment. From the 1860s, this is on the second last page: When he was better, he remembered the dreams he had while he was feverish and delirious. He dreamt that the whole world was condemned to a terrible new strange plague that had come to Europe from the depths of Asi...

Why 200 people showed up to listen to this trivial sermon is difficult for me to understand. Maybe they were all bears wondering why 199 people would show up to watch the sermon?

Joe McCarthy did nothing wrong. Come back and purge all the commies.

Speaking of basic bitches, the teddy bears in windows in my suburb appear to have largely been replaced by "Silence is Violence" signs.

James Lindsay has been creating some excellent content on critical theories. He just posted an article that hits some of the same points that Scott Adams does: To understand, we need to understand Critical Race Theory. This theoretical, not evidenced, approach proceeds on a number of mostly bad ass...

Page 8 and 9 of the relevant defence filing: https://sidneypowell.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Doc.198-Flynn-Governments-Motion-to-DISMISS-against-Michael-T.-Flynn.pdf According to the FBI agents’ recollections, when asked if Mr. Flynn recalled any conversation in which he encouraged Kislyak not t...

Flynn wasn't green, he was in DC for a long time. Who cares if the administration was green? Flynn wasn't. Why did he lie? Explain that to me please. I didn't say Flynn was green, I said the administration was. A more experienced administration would have cleared the discussion with their lawyers b...

She sounds less and less credible all the time. Neurotic and worse. I don't think the case was ever believable. The fun part is watching people who previously demanded "believe all women" suddenly discover due process. Biden is still unbelievable, though, as he seems to think due process only appli...

The DOJ dropped the case claiming although Flynn lied to the FBI the lies weren't material to the investigation. My reading from the handwritten note is that the FBI went into the discussion without anything on Flynn, but with the intention of catching him in a lie to get him fired and kick the who...

That would kill the baby? And you’d have no bathwater.

Wouldn't the baby be the one who's closest?

From the outside, it also looks like New York state bungled the WuFlu response the worst. They certainly handled the optics better, though.

With what we know about the Flynn case now, it also looks increasingly likely to me that while the Russians posted FaceBook memes, the rest of the story was completely fabricated by the Obama administration with the purpose of hobbling this one.

And they are buying up influence and vast tracts of land in Africa and Australia, etc, to ensure food security for their population into the future. Yes, there aren't any more Tibets to invade nearby. And while I can agree with trading with China, I don't think we should be selling land or companie...

I don't see them as "evil". They play the long realpolitik game. They control a dragon (1.4 billion increasingly affluent and globalised citizens) by holding the tip of its tail, and need to keep it sweet, and believing that its interests are served by them. Counter revolution seems increasingly li...

Meh. We told the USA to piss off, and we'll do the same with China. Meanwhile Australia will bluster and then kiss Trump and Xi's respective arses. What terrifies me is the number of people who are prepared to carry water for China just because they hate the United States. I have my own problems wi...

In a discussion with, I think Majid Nawaz, Sam Harris talks about listening to a Persian or Pakistani piece of music while working out at the gym. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Does anyone know what it is? I remember looking it up when I first heard Harris talking about it a few years ago, but...

It's a good thing Biden is a teetotaller. Imagine what would be happening if he liked beer.

On a slightly different topic, I've been wondering how agricultural quarantines were legal (i.e. prior to state border closures). Section 92 guarantees free intercourse. Sections 51 and 69 suggest only the Federal government has quarantine powers. So, I'd have thought there would need to be a High C...

There is an underlying question of philosophy under it: Does the government have the power to weld you into your apartment, or do you have the freedom to leave your house without needing to notifying them. I think (negative) rights are innate, and it is the duty of government to protect them. It's t...

The second order effects of the lockdown is starting to worry me more than the virus.

The left-leaning MSM only care about attacking Trump to the extent that they will deny any of the many threats posed by the CCP.

That's why I'm sceptical of a vaccine. It's an RNA retrovirus, and we don't have vaccines for other retroviruses like HIV or the common cold. This would actually be something were it would be great to get ERV's input.

Would it be 5% die and the rest OK? I would bet that the symptoms are a continuum from don't even notice to it kills you quick.

Pauline Hanson. The sad thing is that people vote for her.

She was better before Abbott destroyed her, but, yeah, she is dumb. The really sad thing is that she's still better than the Sarah Hanson-Youngs of the Senate.

Sorry to hear about your trouble FT. You picked a good time to fill yourself full of metal, at least. No metal detectors to go through for a while.
