We’ve all seen it before. The left, especially SJW’s, like to call their enemies stupid, ignorant, bigoted, etc.. The old gag goes that “racist” is what a liberal calls you when he lost the argument, and Scott Adams certainly puts his own spin on it, [http://blog.dilbert.com/post/160696999931/how-to-know-you-won-a-political-debate-on-the] and expands on it a bit. The problem is that eventually, you start to believe it, and I certainly know a few people who sincerely believe Trump goes around g…

One could TL;DR with a snarky “well, duh, you can call a tail a leg but a dog still has five legs”, but Eric Raymond is worth listening to. He had discussed a vapid SJW-infested article on identity where all sides were huffing unicorn paint, but more things came to light, so now there’s a full length post [http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=7524]. > There was a very silly news story recently about “Claire”, a transsexual “girl” with a penis who complains that she is rejected by straight guys for ‘having…
Cataline Sergius throws himself on the grenade to watch the new version of the Handmaid’s Tale [https://reactionarytimes.blogspot.com/2017/04/live-blogging-handmaids-tale.html] . I raise a glass to his sacrifice, so that the rest of us don’t have to. > A Handmaid’s Tale was cobbled together out of random bits of 1984 and Revolt in 2100 back in 1985, by noted crackpot and winner of the Extreme Canadian Award, Margret Atwood. As I indicated the setting is stolen. As is the plot and subtext. T…

One topic is from several recent articles of SJW’s in tech and a couple of [http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6907] old postings [http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=2122] over at Eric Raymond’s Blog.

On Saturday the Frisky Pagan reviewed a Hugo-nominated story calledOur Talons can Crush Galaxies, by Brook Bolander. He was not kind [https://friskypagan.wordpress.com/2017/04/22/reading-the-hugos-our-talons/]. I had no intention of reading it for myself to see if he was fair. First, the quotes he provides already make my skin crawl. No, I’m not kidding. I’m used to some grade-A solipsism and narcissism out of feminists, but rarely do I read things that, if the person writing them were in the…
