Stuff that pissed me off yesterday
Stuff that pissed me off yesterday
Today the EU, London, Wokistan
Lets start with my favorite meme for Monday:
Now the serious stuff:
#Putin #Gas #EU
The EU is entering the cold months and what is looking like a major energy crisis which is prdicted to see the price of gas, and with that the price of everything that requires gas, skyrocket. All fingers point at, you guessed it, Putin.
#HavanaSyndrome #USDiplomats
While Berlin authorities are investigating a possible attack with some or other type of 007 type of weaponery against Amercan embassy employees. American diplomats are also getting dizzy in Colombia. Yes, the weapon makes you dizzy.
A bit of joy from Dublin where unusual voices have been saying what most of us have been thinking for years.
#Brexit #BojoHaram #Ireland #EU
Dublin tells what it really thinks about London. The UK is an unreliable partner who has lied and broken commitments on the Brexit agreement. Not really new other than coming out of the mouth of people that normally would not hurl such invenctives.
Funny thing is, Dominic Cummings confirms Dublin’s suspicion. London was intent of betrayal.
In short, nobody in Europe has anything nice to say about Boris Johnson. A “prevaricator”, “mendacious”, “unreliable”, “dishonest” and “a clown” are some of the nicest words that have been used to describe his political work.
#EU # Poland #Poxit #EUCJ
After going to the Polish top court to have it dismiss the authority of EU law and the EU Court of Justice resolutions, Poland has gone now to the EUCJ to ask that they help to protect their EU allowance, which many other members, many of them top hitters in Brussels, would like to hold back until Poland recognizes the authority of EU law and the EU Court of Justice. Confusing? It is simple, who needs the law when Warsaw is governed by political whims?
#Wokistan #Academia #MIT #CancelCulture #DEI
Dorian Abott, professor of geophysics at the University of Chicago wrote in Newsweek August:
“DEI [Diversity, equity & Inclusion] violates the ethical and legal principle of equal treatment. It entails treating people as members of a group rather than as individuals, repeating the mistake that made possible the atrocities of the 20th century. It requires being willing to tell an applicant “I will ignore your merits and qualifications and deny you admission because you belong to the wrong group, and I have defined a more important social objective that justifies doing so." It treats persons as merely means to an end, giving primacy to a statistic over the individuality of a human being.
Result? Cancelled in MIT.
#ClassicalMusic #Wokistan #CancelCulture
Becuase all things are racist, Spike has been reporting and following the wokistani fatwas against Beethoven. This is of course curious when one considers that less than a year ago, Beethoven was black.
IN other Wokistani news, David Chapelle is about to become the main topic in discussion about identity politics, cancel culture and chromatic authenticity. Here is his interview with Spike on his new Netflix dust-up.
