Random Notes - Idle ThoughtsUS election: media pontificators left whining to an empty hall — Nick Cater — The Australian
Beneath the sentimental rhetoric lurks a realisation of powerlessness. For 18 months they have been lecturing Americans, in ever more strident terms, about the dangers of Trumpism, but Americans called their bluff. The recriminations have begun. Some blame Facebook, which has allowed Americans to see the world through eyes other than those of the media establishment. The shattering defeat of the US cultural elite has resonated strongly in Australia, where our own media class largely shares the same values. A profound discomfort has taken hold. If the thundering of The New York Times no longer prevails, what hope for The Sydney Morning Herald?
Gloriously Unhinged by President Trump — Daryl McCann — Quadrant
In the July, 2016, edition of Quadrant I agreed with the notion that for many Americans their country now felt like an express train speeding toward the abyss. Donald J. Trump was the fellow bold enough to propose pushing the Emergency Stop button in a carriage full of frightened and cowed passengers. Trump was the anti-PC candidate in a nation ruled over by a P.C. Establishment.
George Orwell is stealing my work
This is fascinating and goes to show how the internet, when it works up a head of steam, can take over…We already know that dead people can vote, but here’s a new one for you: they can plagiarize, too. A few years ago, I read a “George Orwell” quotation that had begun to gain some currency: “The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” The problem is, Orwell never said it. And I ought to know. Because I said it. (Or, to be precise, I wrote it.)
Random Note #186,843 — The Vote Of The Uneducated White Man
It was a fanfare for the common man but in all the dissembling, spin and statistical breakdown over the US election there’s been a great deal made of the so called, uneducated white voter. It is this simple postmodern, pigeonholing of the white man that reinforces the view of a condescending, snobbish elitism at work, which triggered the blowback at the ballot box in the first place and is typical of the self loathing, delusional mush and guff being drip fed into the malleable minds of the naive and gullible.
The distilled essence: People are as mad as hell — UK election, Brexit, The EU, Hanson, Trump, Orange. A pattern of all round discontent.
People are as mad as hell and not going to take this anymore. UK election, Brexit, Hanson, Trump, Orange. A pattern of all round discontent.
Never a truer word written: Trumpism is not a passing fad. Ignore the ‘forgotten men and women’ at your peril — Miranda Devine, Sunday Telegraph
Even in Australia friends avoided the topic for fear of social ostracism. Only in the remaining oasis of democracy, the polling booth, did the silenced majority feel free to express themselves. That’s what you get when you silence dissent with political correctness, when you ban speakers from university campuses, make social status dependent on virtue-signalling, traduce religious conservatives, and stack your media organisations with groupthink elitists
It’s time to see if the tiger has claws: Peta Credlin, Sunday Telegraph
"...When jobs are exported because things don’t get Made in the USA anymore, when leaders insist that terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, and when people who should know better keep apologising for their country, it’s not surprising that millions of people...
Extortion, Blackmail. It is what it is and there’s no putting lipstick on this pig
This is government sponsored corruption. This is demanding money with menaces. It's the stuff of the Mafia. It's extortion. Its blackmail. You just have to read this. It's about how a fellow who had no idea (because he was never told by the AHRC that he was part of a...
