Those of us of the Baby Boom generation can remember the old regime in which bad language and risque images and words were commonly banned. When I was young, people still gasped when Rhett Butler told Scarlett O’Hara, right out loud, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” And everyone still marveled that Hollywood actually got away with that one. It was just a little ways in the past that Ulysses needed to be smuggled into the United States. All that was swept away by the 1960s and the Sexual Revolution, and those of us who were young in that time of rebellion could never possibly have imagined that we’d live to see another new Age of Victorianism taking a different form. Today’s scowling Puritan judge is not down on sex or nudity. If anything, he’s violently protective of the privileged status of Sodomy. What he objects to, and is eager to forcibly eradicate, is political incorrectness and any slight upon or failure to accord due reverence and regard to the privileged status of any of the left’s sacred cow victim identity groups. When today’s leper rings his bell, you are not supposed to flee, you are expected to bow down. Old age is bad enough, but this particular historical development, in my view, ranks with prostate problems at the tippy top of the Universe’s Sick Jokes scale. 10 Dec 2022

Musk Will Need to Fire a Lot of Twitter StaffPolitical Censorship, Project Veritas, TwitterListening to Twitter Lead Client Partner Alex Martinez, one is astonished that anyone simultaneously so effeminate and so inept at articulate speech could possibly have been hired for a policy-making position at a significant corporation. This is an example of just who gets to decide what is good or bad and true or false? Gerard van der Leun either knows or suspects that Project Veritas tricked Martinez into speaking freely by establishing a relationship via Grinder. HT: Vanderleun. 17 May 2022

The Buffalo Mass Shooter’s ManifestoBuffalo Mass Shootings, Journalism, Peyton Gendron, Political Censorship
The Mainstream Media and the Blogosphere quoted the teenage Buffalo shooter’s lengthy manifesto, but they were consistently careful to refrain from making it available to the rest of us by linking it. I was mildly curious, and I found this deliberate censorship frustrating. It seems to me that an argument could be made that nation-wide coverage of these unfortunate instances of insanely malevolent behavior ought to be avoided in order to prevent inspiring other crazies seeking attention from emulation. There can be no doubt that the publicity received by the first madman creates followers. But if you’re going to devote massive coverage and lengthy analysis and opinion to a murder case of this kind, it should be treated objectively, and members of the public should have the same access to the facts of the killer’s thinking (and fantasies and delusions) as members of the media. I found it fairly time consuming to locate the link(s), but I went to all the trouble, and here they are. You’ll find reading all this a slog. A pretty good summary is here. He is obviously talented but warped and very deeply disturbed. He is perversely motivated in the direction of extreme, unpopular positions to the point of actually implementing fantasies of murderous violence. His animus against (most) blacks and Jews is clearly in a xenophobic tradition associated with the reactionary Right. However, he is also outspokenly hostile toward Capitalism and the rich. He obviously finds left-wing extremist opinions similarly attractive. Ideologically, he seems to resemble Goebbels, Streicher, and other left-wing Nazis, combining hostility toward Capitalism and Economic Freedom with pathological resentment of the Jews and Racism. His crimes will fuel more demands for Gun Control, but looking at all this, you have to wonder how anybody this obviously crazy was never identified as dangerous and in need of help before he started shooting people. 07 May 2022
