• French anti-migrant group to face trial over border ‘patrols’

  Generation Identity patrolled the mountains to keep migrants away. This challenged the authority of Leftist government, which is now inventing bureaucratic justifications for destroying the group. When do we admit that government serves itself, not us?

• Former Democratic Congressional Candidate Saira Rao Says She Hates White People And America

  At least they are being honest. Minority groups realize that they can be conquered or conquerors, but nothing else, and if they are conquered, they have no control over their future. When enough of them are here — no matter what group it is — they start trying to conquer. They use guilt as a weapon because we try to do the right thing. Our only response can be to try to do the right thing for us, and that involves sending them all back home.

• Chinese in Australia too fearful to show their faces at Tiananmen protest in Sydney

  Import diversity, and you simply bring the problems of the world to your society. There is no universal civilization; people are what they are, genetically. They will always have allegiance to this or rediscover it because ideology is not enough to provide a good life. They need a sense of who they are, and our egalitarian ideology of diversity conflicts with this. They are simply refusing to adopt our disease like we want them to, hoping to make them neutralized and pacifistic like we are, instead of simply fixing ourselves.

• Darwin shooting: At least four killed, others injured

  So much for the idea that gun control works. If you control guns, only criminals will have guns. We are finding out the same thing in Chicago where despite lots of welfare, gun control, and diversity programs, minority underclass violence continues to kill lots of minorities. Looks like we did better under the “Wild West” approach where everyone was armed and criminals were more scared. After all, we had more guns and less violence in the past:

  America had plenty of guns when its mass murder rate was much lower. Grant Duwe, a Ph.D. in criminology and director of research and evaluation at the Minnesota Department of Corrections, gathered data going back 100 years in his 2007 book, “Mass Murder in the United States: A History.” Duwe’s data reveal: In the 20th century, every decade before the 1970s had fewer than 10 mass public shootings. In the 1950s, for example, there was one mass shooting. And then a steep rise began. In the 1960s, there were six mass shootings. In the 1970s, the number rose to 13. In the 1980s, the number increased 2 1/2 times, to 32. And it rose again in the 1990s, to 42. As for this century, The New York Times reported in 2014 that, according to the FBI, “Mass shootings have risen drastically in the past half-dozen years.”

  Given the same ubiquity of guns, wouldn’t the most productive question be what, if anything, has changed since the 1960s and ’70s?

  What has changed since the 1960s? We are “diverse,” for starters. Diversity destroys social trust and makes everyone paranoid. End diversity, end the violence.

• Facebook May Be Told to Censor Users’ Hateful Posts Globally

  Since the EU’s law for digital services and electronic commerce “does not regulate the territorial scope of an obligation to remove information disseminated via a social network platform, it does not preclude a host provider from being ordered to remove such information worldwide,” Advocate General Maciej Szpunar of the EU Court of Justice said Tuesday.

  Confirmed: the EU wants to be the new superpower and control the world, despite history suggesting that Europe has more internal problems than external ones. These people are insane; the good Europeans have figured out that politics is a dead end and are sitting out democracy.

• “Wikipedia is a broken system,” says co-founder Larry Sanger

  Wikipedia is used for Leftist propaganda and subsidized heavily by Big Tech. It makes their search engine seem to return accurate results every time, despite being primitive technology that is very far from the cool computers in Star Trek, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, and Neuromancer that returned nuanced, researched, analytical, and comprehensive answers every time. Any conservatives still using Wikipedia should reconsider.

• Marie-Sophie Hingst: historian stripped of award for inventing family’s Holocaust past

  When you let people cry out “rape” or “hate crime” and instantly be believed, you attract parasitic impostors. If any book on The Holocaust™ sells, then people are going to make stuff up. In the same way, people made up stuff about slavery, racism, Jim Crow, and so on. History is fake because the herd rewards people who tell lies.

• Ten Plagues of California Are Turning The Golden State into a Third-World Hell Hole

  “Equality” means “individualism” because it means the presumption that all individuals have inherently equal value, and therefore, each individual can do what he wants because his individualism is the end goal, not the means to another goal like, say, stable civilization and personal moral balance and adaptation to his environment. Individualists essentially want “anarchy with grocery stores” (and subsidies) because that way, they can practice their individualism without having to relate to reality at all. It turns out that when you put this into practice, you get total social breakdown as is happening in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago.

• Trump supporters barricaded in Wetherspoons by police as protesters chant ‘Nazi scum off our streets’

  Leftists have a binary worldview. Either you are working toward the one true good thing of equality Utopia, or you are evil. There is no coexisting with them. We either deport them, or they destroy us.

• US factory orders fall; shipments post largest drop in two years

  It is hard to make any firm analysis, but this looks to me like business slowing activity a month ago in fear of a trade war. In the meantime, stocks are bouncing back and manufacturing will likely follow.

• No Border Wall, but This Will Have to Do for 1 Texas City

  The American border is so porous that one community college erected 1.2 miles of wall around itself to make illegal aliens go around instead of wandering across campus along with drug mules and border control agents. The whole American immigration system becomes comical when you see it along these lines: we indulge in all these pretenses of being nice in order to get cheap labor that will retire somewhere else, therefore allowing us to use it and lose it and profit the difference. A better idea involves ending our expensive unions, affirmative action, lawsuits, regulations, taxes, and entitlements. We can then reduce the cost of our labor to market value and become more efficient with that labor instead of replacing it with low-quality, low-speed, and low-cost third world staffing.

• The US is to blame for global erosion of human rights, says top UN official

  US stops supporting abortion and therefore the world is experiencing erosion of human rights, says highly-paid UN bureaucrat who is obviously not at near-clinical levels of neurosis, megalomania, and paranoia.

• Mexico City drops gender-specific school uniforms

  Humanity has given up on actual progress, like getting to Mars or overcoming human defects, and instead is focused on winning social cuteness points by being even more egalitarian than others around us. This is mass conformity, a trend or a mania, but not thinking. It shows exactly how little we believe in the future that we are fixated on these trivial symbolic victories instead of actual ones.

• Sephora to shut U.S. stores for diversity training after racial incident

  Someone in suburban enclave Calabasas shadowed a Negro celebrity because in the burbs, people from the ghetto have come simply to commit crimes. Now all of the stores must shut while employees are forced to endure humiliating, white-hating diversity lectures. The costs will be passed on to you. One way to end this problem: allow people to run whites-only stores again. Then no one will be confused about where they are wanted and where they are not.

• Twice as Many Fishing Vessels Are Chasing Fewer Fish on the World’s Oceans

  Conservationists like myself eschew owning a Prius or recycling condoms simply because we realize that those are ineffectual actions. Ending our use of all plastic, going back to 1850s levels of energy consumption, and growing our own food locally might be nice, but the real determining factor is our use of land and that is tied to our population. More people means more land use; more land use means less land for nature, so our pollution just hangs around and natural species die out. Now we have all these people and no way to feed them, so we are killing off the fish of the world trying to produce enough protein to keep eight billion people alive. This will not just end much of our natural world, but destroy us.

• Despite Sanctions Venezuelan Gov’t Secures Right to Housing
  

  People have more faith in rights than God, nature, or logic. If something is mandated by government, the human mind reasons, it can always be demanded, and so no matter what, the person has options. This changes when you realize that government cannot provide for demand and, in the process of realizing that it cannot, it simply downgrades quality. Technically, a cardboard box with a bucket on top is “housing,” and this is what you will get from the morons who arbitrarily declare free stuff as a “right” without considering the impossibility of ever providing it.

• Biggest Offender in Outsize Debt: Graduate Schools

  We gave high school away for free. Soon almost everyone was a graduate, and correspondingly, a high school degree said nothing. College became valuable, so we gave that away for the price of debt, and soon almost everyone had a college degree and they became nearly worthless. That meant that people who wanted to win at the education game — outside of being in the top ten percent of their classes — ended up going to graduate school, and taking out loans for that, which created a market for generating graduate degrees. Now we have tons of debt and no one gets ahead except the goody two-shoes blockheads in the top ten percent of their classes who are increasingly revealed as incompetents in the real world. Education has failed; we should give it an F and stop funding it.

• Baltimore mayor says public boxing matches may solve street violence

  This strikes me as correct. Our fearful, neurotic, and pacifistic society has eliminated visible conflict and replaced it with endless passive aggression, sabotage, snark, and social status signaling or “virtue signaling” as the people who did not manage to read Tom Wolfe deemed it. If we let people actually pound the crap out of each other for transgressions, they might be less frustrated and more polite. Even better if we let them duel. That way, at least we get to an answer based on who is still standing.

• Malaysia’s Mahathir rekindles gold standard debate

  Gold is not symbolic; if you have a certain amount, you possess a certain amount of value. In contrast, modern currencies are symbolic, meaning that they do not directly represent something of value, but a share bought in the currency itself. This introduces layers of control by government and international players. It makes more sense to either peg the currency to the productivity of the nation, at which point Leftism gets blown away because entitlements programs and unions are revealed as the dead losses that they are, or to gold, in which case the limits on the amount of currency restrain growth and encourage stable order.

• Indiana woman gets unsupervised probation for leaving racist letter

  The founding fathers would be shooting about now. There is nothing criminal about writing a letter, but when your society has civil rights laws, you can get charged with “criminal mischief,” be shamed in every major news publication, and have your life destroyed by violent Leftists who will in turn be charged with nothing. We live in a Soviet-style regime, and nothing will get better until we remove the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1964 and all law based on them — HUD, affirmative action, bake the gay cake, disparate impact, hate crimes — and focus on function instead of ideology.

• Dutch rape victim, 17, uses legal euthanasia to end life

  Dutch girl with incompetent parents is raped three times as a child, finally goes on hunger strike and then commits suicide using legal euthanasia because of terminal PTSD and depression. A society that values life would have been fighting for her sanity and health, but our society loves death because it suspects rightly that it is dying, and therefore everyone simply wants peaceful death and cheer on the destruction of others for that reason. Let us all die together, because it is easier than fighting back, and so much less unpopular.

• Watchdog says FBI has access to about 640M photographs

  Diversity has brought constant crime and instability as different special interest groups go to war against each other. Government has responded with intensified law enforcement, especially biometrics tracking. You will choose a police state in order to avoid diversity crime and terrorism, and it will both fail to stop that crime and enslave you, but you will go ahead and vote for it because anything else is a vote against diversity, equality, pacifism, and all of the lyrics to John Lennon’s “Imagine.”

• FDA: Sampling finds toxic nonstick compounds in some food

  The most interesting news these days involves “shadow stories” like this, or stuff that we all knew was true but had to be suppressed under past administrations for political reasons. If we have to stop using glyphosate, non-stick cookwear, pesticides, fertilizers, and food additives, we will have a lot less food, and this will cause us to see the consequences of overpopulation that our leaders have been trying desperately to hide.
