Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsRandom Note #187,523 — NSW Bi-elections
Looks like the Libs have got themselves another couple of wringing wet, 20 or 30 something, time serving empty suits and factional hacks, one of which has difficulty with the truth, in North Sydney and Manly and who haven’t a clue about anything and believe in nothing.
The Frankfurt School: Western Subversion by Design
Once you can understand what The Frankfurt School was all about you can get a firm grip on Cultural Marxism (political correctness) and where it came from. The tragedy with this kind of thing is that there would not be a single politician in Canberra or Macquarie Street with any idea about any of this stuff.
Not one.
Bad day for racism as Rachel Dolezal changes ethnicity — Caroline Overington — The Australian
Rachel Dolezal is apparently quite within her rights to identify as a black, but the beauty of that is that we in turn have the right to say what we see when Rachel’s frizzed-up head comes zooming into view. Which is: you’re a fraud, Rachel. An offensive fraud, and a white one, to boot.
Suspension of reality — The Liberals are in denial. Its just a flesh wound
Do not adjust your set. All you need to know about how worthless this Liberal Party, in-house exercise in existential naval gazing is, is contained in the first sentence. “The team reviewing the Turnbull government’s calamitous election campaign were given strict instructions not to focus on the PM’s own performance”. This denial and suspension of reality, this post truth, is worthy of the Monty Python, Black Knight, “it’s just a flesh wound” sketch.
From the Andrew Bolt blog — Mark Latham vs Adam Goodes: A Study In Hypocrisy
Mark Latham was so bemused by pro-feminism video in which a Year 12 school captain spoke as if he was woman that he joked that he first thought the boy was gay.
Adam Goodes singled out a 13-year-old girl from a broken home as the “face” of Australian “racism”. Now compare what happened to both men
RN’s Andrew West skewers Ayaan Hirsi Aly critic with her own words
You’ve never heard so much slippin’ & slidin’ & double speak in your life. Andrew West, very much to his credit on Radio National’s Religion and Ethics Report, nails one of the female critics of Ayaan Hirsi Aly, Hanna Assafiri with her own words and skewers her coming and going. Assafiri was one of the women behind the online petition opposing the visit..
Random Note #187,641 — An idea for 4 Corners
The only condition would be that although the program would be commissioned by 4 Corners and the ABC and the ABC would cooperate in making research material available, it would essentially be produced by an independent production house using well regarded people from across the media as contributors, producers and most particularly editors.
Random Note #187,652 — Acceptance Rings, Virtue Signalling and The Star of David
I’ve always been deeply suspicious of the political class in question time wearing different coloured ribbons on their lapel to show their commitment to the cause de jour. Whether they actually believe in it or not there is no way of knowing. It is simply a high minded way of strutting their moral vanity and phony virtue signalling to demonstrate that they feel today’s pain and outrage for whatever the cause. Hitler pioneered the idea of coloured lapel adornments when he forced Jews to where the Yellow Star of David and so it seems that todays jackbooted Brown Shirts have decided to adapt the concept with their acceptance rings.
The twisted, ugly and distorted face of these Witches of Macbeth and their thinly veiled fatwah
Of course the outrage and indignation of these angry, bitter and intimidating trolls, these three witches from Macbeth in their thinly veiled fatwah “You Don’t Speak For Us” video is betrayed by the fact that Hirsi Ali actually lives with a 24/7 security detail
When she was five years old, she was made “pure” by having her genitals hacked out with a knife — her absent father reappeared and announced that he had found her a good husband — Venues where she is scheduled to speak have been contacted, warned there will be protests and urged to cancel her engagements..”
Random Note #185,367 — 18C, There is another way. It’s not ideal but it is an option
Triggs tenure about to expire in a few months there is another opportunity to bring the HRC and the application of 18C under control with the appointment of her replacement. Mind you, judging by Turnbull’s appointment of Justin “nothing to see here, move along” Milne, as the Chairman of the ABC Board, it doesn’t augur well.
