Well, also, because they say so.  

Of course, the MSM keeps forgetting to report that.

They are Skid-Marxists, and they behave like Brownshorts.

I know they are declared. I just find ironic amusement in their inability to get away from the tropes... like a "5 year plan".

'Upward-thrusting buildings ejaculating into the sky' – do cities have to be so sexist?

Glass ceilings and phallic towers. Mean streets and dark alleys. Road names and statues of men. From the physical to the metaphorical, the city is filled with reminders of masculine power. And yet we rarely talk of the urban landscape as an active participant in gender inequality. A building, no matter how phallic, isn’t actually misogynist, is it? Surely a skyscraper isn’t responsible for sexual harassment, the wage gap, or even the glass ceiling, whether it has a literal one up top or not?

I am getting very tired of Angry Women of Color who use both their Melanin Privilege and their Ladyparts Privilege as cover for spouting lunacy.

And of course it's not just that; it's the hatred and threats that are directed at the person who's trying to provoke actual debate, instead of just mindlessly chanting slogans.

The Left is all about violence, basically.

And if you point out an individual example of that kind of behavior you're a racist misogynist for stereotyping POC women as loud and angry.

Having not heard from The Federalist I'm assuming they rejected my submission -- apparently "ghosting" is how these things work now, which strikes me as rude, but then again, I'm on the "wrong side of history" in manifold ways.

Meanwhile I tossed together something else this morning and posted it on the Frontier.  Let me know what you think.  And, if you'd prefer I stop posting such stuff, let me know.

It has to be the white guy.  Black people can never, ever be raaaaaacist.

In #20 PaladinPhil said: Idiocy. I asked about after school day care last September from the YMCA that runs the program. They called today asking if I wish to remain on the waiting list. With crap like this finding regular daycare in a few months is going to be ludicrous. *sigh*

I still get e-mails from one place saying Little OR is still on the waiting list for a daycare that his mom and I applied for... in the spring of 2017.   (I've told them repeatedly that they can remove him from the list.)

Speaking of parenthood, I have a (sort of) mom I'd like to introduce these racist thugs to.

Her name is Ma Deuce.

Reddit bans all content that shows "People of Color" as an aggressor.

But apparently it's okay to show white people as aggressors.

This despite the fact, of course, that in the US, black people commit violent crimes at far higher rates than the inverse.

Maybe Reddit is just trying to draw attention away from the fact that the company’s former CEO, Ellen Pao, just admitted she (and everyone else in the jet-set) knew about Ghislaine Maxwell’s (alleged!) underage sex trafficking on behalf of the late Jeffrey Epstein.

Sex trafficking?  Pish tush!  Just put up sex-traffic lights---"Stop" and "Go," with a "Fuck/Don't Fuck" sign---and certainly the problem will be solved.

They deleted the post, yes.  Does that mean it's not policy?  Not so sure about that.
