Why do so many corporations cross over to the dark side? Why do they behave as if they detest the majority and wish to serve only micro-minorities?>

The squeaky hinge gets the oil.

A survey came out in the last few weeks
that showed high school/college kids don't know who Stalin/Mao Zedong were.

Rush Limbaugh was discussing it on his show. He was going to a charity event the next day, and decided he would ask any kids he came across.

None knew who Stalin was.
When he asked about Mao one said, "the guy who stood in front of the tanks in Tiananmen Square?"

We've surrendered our politicians for decades.
We've surrendered truth for decades.
We've surrendered media for decades.
We've surrendered education for decades.

<Lee> Merry Christmas to you and the good <Mrs. pgp>!

Like everything else in "education" its
been lied about, and completely rewritten.>

Stossel: Happy Thanksgiving!

"Socialism" just got real!

<With the recent rise of politicians like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, more people than ever support socialist policies. But would they support socialist policies when it came to their GPA? Campus Reform went to Florida International University to find out.>

<Esteemed Colleagues> One of my blog readers came up with a solution to the problem of embarrassingly low graduation rates at our colleges and looniversities:

When you think of this:

<thegoodanarchist:

As the Z Man says, Conservatives are best known for the fact that they conserved nothing.>

<playground player:

Yes, Esteemed Colleagues--mainstream "conservatives" never seem to conserve anything.>

What could be more obstructive than that?>

The loss of OpenWorld, which has been held in San Francisco for about 20 years, is raising new concerns about whether the city’s struggles with homelessness, open drug use and street violence may be scaring off tourism and other business, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.>

<diceman> It's problem that won't go away any time soon, since it's directly related to nanny state policies that have been hatching for years in American "universities."

Instead of policing illegal drug use, give them safe injection sites where you provide them clean needles, and where they need not fear being arrested.

It's much worse than that in Vancouver though. They now provide illegal drug users IN PRISON with not only a clean injection facility, they also provide them the heroin. This is to "safeguard" them from tainted product being smuggled in to the prisons.

Law enforcement do not welcome this, incidentally. Actual prison administrators are aghast by it. In addition, the RCMP and city of Vancouver police have spoken with one voice on the need to close down the festering, drug soaked, violent tent cities. "But where will they go" remains the only response from government, who continue to do...

Nothing.

Meanwhile, the silent majority might wonder hmm.. instead of gadding about and taking drugs and partying, I studied hard and got a good job. Now I must give a large portion of my hard-earned income to people who took zero responsibility for themselves.

Now they are "my" responsibility.

The irony is that when the neo-Stalinists get their *actual Stalinist state* in America, they will understand why drug abuse and the homeless were not really a problem under Stalin.

Guess how Stalin solved this kind of problem.

SJWs will never know ahead of time because they don't want to know. This is why they currently suggest that "World War II" is an irrelevant subject for history classes.

Coming soon- "history" is abolished altogether in Western schools.

Meanwhile, until they are eradicated altogether, let's enjoy Christmas carols while we still can:

I've been wondering: Can it be that countries like the USA, Canada, and Britain got to be as good as they were going to get, and then began to decline, as their ruling classes came to occupy themselves with imaginary (and therefor unsolvable) problems (like "hate" and "systemic racism" and "microaggression") or, in Britain's case, set about creating whole new problems by means of crazy policies--like unlimited immigration from culturally incompatible Third World countries?

Fallible human beings can't create perfect societies. There will always be flaws. But progress can be made and things can get better than they were. Which seems to create a revolution of rising expectations, fed and nourished by competing politicians.

Maybe I've been spending too much time with Polybius lately--who accurately predicted how the Roman republic would deteriorate and collapse into a dictatorship.

instead of acting like they're about to swallow us up forever, seem like they're on the edge of panic. Something is scaring them.>

Or maybe that is just their natural "end state", namely, being on the edge of panic all the time.

They've been brainwashed to believe there is racism everywhere in America, that it's pervasive. And nothing triggers panic in them like racism triggers it.

After all, one of the Leftids reported a KKK hood in a college campus building a few years ago. (I forget which college).

Rushing to investigate, authorities found a dust cover over a microscope in one of the labs.

The useful idiots imagine everything bad is caused by evil racists. Literally, it is the "monsters under the bed" mentality of elementary school children.

Or let's suppose you're right, and something is different now. I can't really think of what it might be, other than the possibility of Trump winning a second term next year.

Anyway, I don't pay much attention to that stuff (emotional states of the useful idiots). It was a curiosity in 2017 (for example, the snowflake who started screaming at the sight of a MAGA hat). I mainly pay attention to policy.

In hindsight, I think HRC probably would have moved against the 2nd amendment if she had won. That would have been on the national level, but would have been killed in the Senate. But since Trump won, looks like they changed tactics and are going after guns on the state level, cf. Virginia.
