What grinds my gears

In their ever-going quest to gain absolute power and control every aspect of society in a tyrannical oppressive totalitarian manner, the far left has tried and tested all kinds of concepts, narratives and tactics to advance this goal. Some have been less successful, and have been mostly forgotten by now, others have been enormously successful. Whenever they find a formula that seems to be really useful for this goal, they rabidly cling onto it and forcefully and very, very aggressively (oftentimes quite literally) try to push it onto society. One of the most successful ones, one of the biggest and strongest weapons that they have found in order to achieve this goal of a total power-grab and takeover of society, is the "trans" activism ideology, which for the last few years has been pushed extremely hard and forcefully into society, using all the tactics in the book. They have pushed it so hard, and have been so successful in it, that you can find its poisonous tendrils prett...

In their ever-going quest of gaining power and controlling every single aspect of society and destroying and smothering everything related to Western culture and society, one of the many, many weapons that the far left has come up with is the concept of "cultural appropriation" which, like so many things, they have deemed to be one of the biggest crimes and sins of white people. If a white person in any way engages or uses anything from a non-white culture, no matter the context or the way in which it's used, that's "cultural appropriation" and thus that person can be "canceled", harassed and excommunicated from society. (And, rather obviously, only white people can do "cultural appropriation". It's a rule that only applies to white people. Obviously.) Ironically, some leftist non-white people engage in actual bona fide cultural appropriation while trying to claim for themselves something they are trying to make white people stop usi...

Mainstream media has an enormous amount of influence in society, and in shaping what people think, how they behave, what they believe, and what their perception of reality is. Sometimes this can be done for good, such as for example raising awareness of the dangers of tobacco, which has reduced smoking in the West by a quite significant amount compared to the 1950's. The drawback of this is, however, that this influence can also be done for bad. To use mainstream media for propaganda. To influence people politically, to affect how they view society, and what the values of society are. This may also have unintended (or "semi-intended") consequences on how it shapes people's perception of reality. Some recent polls have shown that a good portion of Americans believe that about 50% of Americans are black. Similar polls in the UK have shown that a good portion of Britons believe that about 25% of Britons are black. In reality the proportions are about 13% and 3% respectiv...

I don't think I even need to add any comment.

I have been writing in this blog for many years now, and I suddenly realized that while I have from time to time written about the international organized terrorist organization that calls itself "Antifa", but I have never quite explicitly expressed my opinion on them. So here is my official explicit opinion about Antifa: Antifa members are subhuman garbage, lower than rats and cockroaches, and I despise them with every fiber of my being. The only good place for an antifa member is on the ground under the knee of a police officer, eating dirt like the cockroach he is. Hell, comparing them to cockroaches is an insult to cockroaches. At least cockroaches serve some role in nature, while antifa members are nothing but useless scum and garbage. I sincerely apologize to all cockroaches for having compared them to antifa members. The police desperately needs to start using water cannons to wash the streets from that worthless filth. If it were up to me, every single antifa member ...

Nowadays it's surprisingly hard to fathom that in many countries in the past, like 50 to 100 years ago, primary and secondary school taught a lot more practical living skills to kids. Indeed, the grade schools in many countries taught students household skills, like cooking, sewing, economics and (in countries where it's applicable) how to do your taxes and so on. Kids who graduated from primary and secondary school were usually not complete morons with no skills whatsoever, and could, if needed, live independently, cook for themselves, sew a button, manage their economy. Some of these things are still being taught, to some degree, in some countries, but in later decades this seems to have become rarer and rarer, and even when they have not completely disappeared it seems to have been greatly de-emphasized. Quite often these classes have become optional, and the number of hours spent on them has been radically reduced. In fact, it seems that primary and secondary schools, espec...

As I have written previously , the January 6th 2021 riot of the Capitol building (which, all things considered, was relatively tame especially when compared to the massively destructive riots of the far left) might end up being one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated. Not as in that it didn't happen, but regarding the narrative surrounding it. As the saying goes, "history is written by the victors", and if the left gets to write modern history, future generations might genuinely end up believing that the riot was some kind of genuine insurrection and coup d'etat attempt organized directly by Donald Trump. The actual reality is, however, that it was just a bunch of morons going into the Capitol building (completely unimpeded by the police, who even removed barriers to allow them entry) and trashing the place, in a form of (relatively minor) riot. There was very little if any organization or pre-planning, at least when it comes to a good majority of the participants...

Assume that someone has, say, blood type B, in other words, he has a particular set of red blood cell surface proteins. However, he vehemently maintains that he has blood type A. He really, really feels deep inside that he has blood type A. That blood type defines him and is an inherent part of him. In fact, he gets offended if someone claims that he's actually blood type B instead of A. Whenever he has to go to the doctor and the subject of blood type comes up, he begrudgingly admits that he "was born with blood type B", that he's "biologically blood type B", but nevertheless he strongly insists that he is now blood type A and his decision must be respected. He was "assigned blood type B" at birth, and that was a mistake. Now, assume that society has gone completely crazy and huge organizations, corporations, schools, universities, news media and even scientists start supporting this notion. You have the blood type you say you have! It doesn't...

Libs of TikTok is a TikTok channel that does pretty much nothing else than to repost other (public) TikTok videos, with a text description that's a short summary of what the video is about. In general (if ever) is any opinion, criticism or any other sort of message written about the video. Just a short summary, and the original video uncut. This channel has become popular among conservative anti-leftists, and thus, obviously, a public enemy of the far left. Why? Because they repost only the craziest far-leftist tiktok videos, showing the most insane, insidious and/or abhorrent things that far-leftists are uploading to the website. In other words, the channel works as a kind of collection of the most insane extremist far-leftist videos that have been uploaded to the site. As mentioned, the channel generally (if ever) does not criticize, comment, or say anything about the videos, besides just a short summary that describes (usually quite accurately) what's being said in the vide...
