Since Davos is upon us once again, this is a good time to remind everyone of the future they want for us. We will own nothing, we will rent everything, and we will be happy…

Rosie Batty Before And After Joining The Sisterhood
In Australia, everyone knows who this woman is. Her son Luke was murdered by her psycho husband, she became an anti-DV campaigner, got to be Australian of the Year and generally got her ass kissed by every idiot in sight. Luckily, piggy aināt no idiot. Having vaguely remembered that she started out blaming mental illness rather than the usual patriarchal oppression crap, i never took her seriously when she said that the answer was to have more female CEOs and politicians.
Today, thanks to a post by Bettina Arndt, i bumped into the ABC story in which she gave her initial account of the murder : āFather who killed son, Luke Batty, at cricket ground had history of mental illness, says boy’s anguished motherā
Here is an excerpt from the story dated 14 Feb 2014ā¦
āMs Batty says she had known Greg for 20 years, and over that time his mental health deterioratedā¦[He went] from someone who brushed off losing a job to someone that was unemployableā¦He was in a homelessness situation for many years. His life was failing. Everything was becoming worse in his life and Luke was the only bright light in his life.”
Nowhere does she spout anything even vaguely feminist. Itās all about the mental illness. She even claims the father loved the kid and was āanguishedā at what he had done, which isnāt exactly what one expects from some vengeful patriarch who just killed his only son completely of his own free will.
Contrast this with her statements in August of 2015 (italics are mine)ā¦
āThe fact that family violence is a gendered issue: the vast majority of
people still donāt understand that family violence is a gendered issue.
People want to be able to blame drug and alcohol abuse, or a childhood
upbringing affected by family violence, or even the victim herself.
However, it is clear that most family violence is perpetrated by a man
against the woman and that the gender inequities that exist in our society
are a key driver of violence against women.ā
And then thereās this interesting jump, from DV in the general community to more power for women in business and politics. Apparently, the answer to women being beaten up in the trailer parks is to give more power to women from the upper classes. Western feminism, folks. Western feminismā¦
ā My understanding is that societies which have greater gender equity, have less family violence. If we can achieve gender equity within our upper echelons, this will in time have an impact on our broader societal beliefs and attitudes.ā
What the hell happened in those few intervening months?!?!?!? Did her dead husband magically become mentally UN-ill? No, of course not. Almost certainly what happened was that the feminist dirtbags saw an opening and took it. Whether they took advantage of a grieving womanās mental state to shovel all sorts of shit into her head or whether Batty herself saw an opportunity for a grift i do not know, though i am more inclined to think it was the former. What we DO know is that things changed in a very, very big way that took the focus off the ACTUAL cause of Lukeās murder — mental illness — and pointed the finger at the patriarchal boogey man and in so doing made it MORE likely that such tragedies would happen in the future. After all, you cannot cure the patientās headache if you focus on his tense neck and ignore the nail sticking out the top of his noggin! But why would a feminist establishment dominated by middle class women care? Hell, itās an opportunity to grab more power and wealth for themselves, and if more lower class women and children continue to be killed it isnāt their problem!
Fuck ’em both, that’s what i say
āWhite outrage about Will Smithās slap is rooted in anti-Blacknessā
Yes, you heard that right. Some clown at The Guardian is lying about Whitey — in other words, itās yet another day ending with day.
Our race-baiting friend, sticking closely to The Gagaās agenda of using identity politics to keep the peasants fighting amongst themselves, proceeds to claim thatā¦
āThe Hollywood director Judd Apatow declared in a deleted tweet that Smith ācould have killedā Rock (seriously?), calling it āpure out of control rage and violenceāā¦The radio host Howard Stern compared Smith to Donald Trump, while white women on Twitter somehow decided that Smithās actions meant he must be beating his wife. It would seem that thereās a layer of hyper-violence thatās being projected on to Smith simply because he is a Black man who was defending his Black wife.ā
Note that last sentence. NOBODY with any brain cells believes that the reaction would have been different had it been an all White affair — ESPECIALLY the Donald Trump comparison. And since the writer can put pen to paper one has to assume that he has at least half a dozen of the fucking things left.
He also claims that worse has happened at the Oscars and then goes on to LIE about the infamous John Wayne incident back in the ā70s.
āAnyone who has been following these shows can see that Smith is being held up to much stricter standards than white men who have behaved just as badly or even worse in those settings. In 1973, John Wayne had to be restrained by six security guards when he tried to rush the stage and attack the Native American actor and activist Sacheen Littlefeather. Littlefeather was on stage to accept the best actor award on behalf of Marlon Brando, who was boycotting the awards in protest at Hollywoodās depictions of Native Americans.ā
Note that he claims that John Wayne had to be stopped from ATTACKING Littlefeather even though the woman herself, in the ARTICLE HE LINKS TO says Wayne was just trying to drag her off the stage! Again, there is NO WAY anyone really believes trying to drag someone off the stage is even as bad, much less worse, than thumping them.
It is AMAZING how blatantly the Guardian lies. They donāt even try to be clever about it, they jus straight out LIE. Makes me want to throw up all over my monitor.
Rant over.
How things have changed
I’m not big on posting memes, but this one is just too true to ignore. As recently as ten years ago the Left and the liberals knew who the true enemies are, now most of them (us, really) are convinced that any corporation or government who sides with the IdPol agenda is one of the good guys. Shit, we used to complain about Big Pharma coming up with treatments rather than cures because there’s more money to be made, now we can’t see the same strategy in booster after booster after booster. Most of us are basically just servants of the Plutocracy at this point. Sad.
