TLDR DIGEST 4/17-24

“Honestly, what does the concept of royalty mean in 2022? If you’re not a pre-teen girl being sucked into the delusion of gender fluidity (yet), it probably means whatever the last Disney movie you watched pretended it was.”

“…surely nothing calls down the specter of fascist totalitarianism quite like Musk’s pledge to end Big Tech censorship. Because that’s what the Nazis did, right? They kicked down the door to the nightclub, stormed through the horrified crowd, and barked, ATTENTION PLEASE! YOU ARE NOW FREE TO SAY WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT!”

Cockburn can’t help but picture the president and the bunny walking in silence back to the Oval Office. There’s a moment of tension between them, upon which the bunny slowly sits down at Biden’s desk, slams its fist, and points at the president, who bows his head.”

“In the Palestinian-controlled territories, Jews must sneak in under armed guard if they desire to worship at their own holy sites. Even outside of the Palestinian-controlled territories, Jewish holy sites are still unsafe. Late last year, an Israeli tour guide was murdered near the Temple Mount by a member of Hamas.  While Israeli authorities look on helplessly, Palestinians engage in the destruction of ancient cultural sites dating back more than 4,000 years. Many of these sites have global historical significance and have been appropriated by the Palestinians as they work to erase the history of the Jewish people across the Land of Israel.”

“Though the probability of one black person being killed by another is about 30 times higher than that of being killed by a member of law enforcement, the narrative that white supremacist and white racists are a clear and present danger to black people—and the American people as a whole—continues to be peddled by our nation's president, attorney general and FBI director. And the media and academia, too.”

“Trump stood in stark contrast with the intersectional approach that has the Democratic Party in a stranglehold, where the cause of women, LGBTQ people, immigrants, Asians and Muslims are constantly added to the civil rights struggle that began with Black Americans and was never fulfilled. Again and again, the Democrats eagerly abandoned us to fight for these other groups.”

“In the annual rite of clashes at Jerusalem’s holy sites, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has emerged as top arsonist even while donning a firefighter disguise.”

“"The Zionist grip on the media is omnipresent," the statement read. "Palestinians are not obligated to engage in racialized ‘nonviolence’ theory and wait around for a United Nations action that will never come as their homes are taken from them.”…NYU may have no choice but to punish these students because the university in 2020 agreed to adopt a zero-tolerance policy toward anti-Semitism as part of a settlement with the Department of Education’s civil rights office, which was investigating a string of anti-Semitic incidents at the elite scool. The agreement obligates NYU to "take all necessary actions, including pursuant to its student discipline process," to address anti-Semitism on campus. Should the Biden administration decide to enforce the terms of that agreement, inaction could jeopardize NYU’s federal funding under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.But some students doubt the investigation will amount to much. "Blatantly anti-Semitic remarks can be made in public with zero consequences at this law school," said Gary Dreyer, the president of NYU’s Law Students for Israel. "This has gone on for years, and it has only gotten worse.””

“…while Leftists have made Black lives the focus of their attention, they have simultaneously stopped asking what Black Americans want; instead, they talk endlessly about how the white public should become the savior of Black America.  Why discuss real solutions when you can hope for the fantasy of ending racism?”


Progressives Have Fallen in Love With Black Victimhood

“In a world where reality is an important commodity, a rational actor would view this case as a cautionary tale, and perhaps adjust their behavior accordingly. Unfortunately, on most campuses today, “feelz” trump reality, and administrators are more afraid of appearing “unwoke” than of suffering the consequences of not being the adult in the room. Thus, while Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin should serve as a warning to the wokesters, I rather doubt that they will listen.”

“…while the left claims extending the moratorium will help low-income Americans, it will actually help wealthy individuals. About 75% of student loan repayments come from the top 40% of earners…With the moratorium costing more than $100 billion as of January, it’s also adding to the government’s historic, out-of-control spending.”

“[This] suggests a quite psychotic detachment from the reality of the creative process, this attempt to actually remove a living author from their creation, to sort of float her free, like a decal transfer from its backing paper. What exactly is the preferred scenario?…And that’s before we get on to the fact that Rowling stands accused of having opinions that the vast majority of people regard as so self-evidently correct that they can’t quite believe they need defending.”

“Disney was the aggressor in the battle over the education bill, lied about it, and pledged to work to repeal it.   Even though the bill had nothing to do with Disney whatsoever — nothing to do with its product, its business model, or its employees. The company got pushed into its stance based on pressure from a woke segment of its employees and from progressives on the outside…Disney went to the mattresses…not to serve its shareholders, enhance its profitability, protect its intellectual property, or align itself with its vast and politically diverse customer base.  This was, shockingly, an iconic American brand making itself into a free-floating weapon of woke cultural politics in response to the social and political influence of a small number of vocal progressives.”

“Naturally, there are many on the left who will want him to fail. His success, in any case, is far from a sure thing. But as the Twitter board contemplates the best way to hold on to its power over society, Musk will always have another option. … If Musk is successful at helping the Internet transcend the current state of organized inattention by acquiring Twitter, then he will stop the Drift in its tracks.”

“Sri Lankans are angry. Tens of thousands have crossed ethnic and religious lines to together take to the streets and demand regime change. Many, too, blame Communist China for the crisis. Sri Lanka could well be a cautionary tale for those who draw too closely to Beijing and its ostentatious promises of “win-win cooperation.””

“The CDC, in case you missed it, has not exactly covered itself in glory these past two years. From botching early efforts to develop a reliable Covid test to not monitoring the vaccine roll-out accurately to failing to provide an anxious public with test kits this past winter to allowing the teachers unions to dictate school policy — the CDC has lost the trust of the public.   Even more alarming, the New York Times reported in February that the embattled agency had purposefully “withheld critical data on boosters, hospitalizations and, until recently, wastewater analyses.” Some charge that the CDC has misled the public, covering up data that might show, for instance, that young people do not need the vaccine. No wonder confidence in the agency has plummeted.”

“At Stanford, Mr. Obama called himself “pretty close to a free speech absolutist.” We applaud the voicing of that commitment, but his concern that we are “losing the ability to distinguish between fact, opinion, and wholesale fiction” is a little bit rich. If that ability is atrophying, the blame belongs not to the bogeyman of “disinformation,” but to a press and politics that has said goodbye to the old standards.”

“Who knew that America wasn’t clamoring for more Rex Chapman and more woke analytics from Jemele Hill? And that there wasn’t a great demand for more Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper or Brian Stelter? That Americans weren’t saying, ‘Hey, CNN we’ve chosen not to watch your programing when it’s free, maybe what [you] need to do is charge people directly’”…

“A tiny elite that benefits politically and economically from portraying its opponents as bigots is using every tool at its disposal – social media, liberal legacy media, and executive action – to obfuscate the vast distance between their views and the vast majority of middle- and working-class Americans with normal views. Like the view that strangers shouldn’t teach toddlers how to masturbate.”

“Last week on Twitter, Saudis conducted a campaign promoting Islam’s true holy sites, Mecca and Medina, while downplaying the importance of Jerusalem in their religion…An English-language tweet from Morocco really got people heated by not only emphasizing that the Temple Mount is of no particular importance to Muslims, but also by expressing hope that the Third Jewish Temple will soon be built there.”

“Disney stock has crashed, Florida decided to take the rhetoric of Democrats at face value and treat them to the end of their special tax exempt status in the state – making them “pay their fair share” – and now the left is whining that a company several hundred billion dollars is going to have to pay taxes. You couldn’t force Democrats to act more hypocritically at gunpoint. My favorite part was all these “progressive intellectuals” (self-declared) and media types publicly hoping Disney would move out of Florida. Just because Epcot looks like a golf ball doesn’t mean you can just drive it to another state. Good luck packing up Space Mountain, morons.”

Liberals Can’t Be This Stupid, Can They?

“Is it really surprising that the suspect, Frank James has a long history of crime, self-described mental illness, and racist YouTube videos railing against white people while calling for violence? In his racist rants, James said, “It’s just a matter of time before these white motherfu–ers decide, ‘Hey listen. Enough is enough. These ni–ers got to go.’”  James self-described and prophetic solution was to get a gun and “just started shooting motherf—ers.” From such statements, it is clear James committed violence on that subway train in response to the prevalent social justice narrative that as a black man in America he is under attack.  That is the definition of domestic terrorism, it is being incited by our own press and politicians and given the constant social justice activism propagandized in America – we should be prepared for more of it.”

The media’s (lack of) coverage of the black mass shooter in NYC shows where the REAL “systematic racism” is
