BLACK POLS WHO WENT WOKE FEEL THE BLACKLASH

You go WOKE, we take a TOKE. The Libtards who have touted the Big Lie are now feeling the Blacklash. Dope politicians of the WOKE PERSUASION are facing the Rope. Yes, the Black members of Atlanta are up in arms; they call for a public hanging. “String them up, tar and feather them.” Their ire is understandable. What gives?

The recent legislation signed into law by the Georgia Governor Kemp triggered their WOKE activism. “RACIST LAW”, “JIM CROW IS BACK”, “BLACKS WILL DIE OF THIRST WAITING TO VOTE”, “BOYCOTT GEORGIA” was the shibboleth across the Great Land. And the WOKE corporations such as COKE hopped on the wagon, sucking up the kool-aid. Ups, sorry, the Power Aid. OK stop, “we didn’t mean it.” OOPS, we f’ckd up.

And how was that? Apparently those hurt the most will be the vendors, the purveyors of candy, dogs, souvenirs, restaurants, hotels, bars, cabs, motels, gas stations etc. who mostly employ Blacks and people of color. In our haste to inform we forgot to tell you that MLB WENT WOKE. They bowed to the Libtards in a whim. “Yes’m we are with you my Brothers and Sisters.” We will move the All Star Game from Atlanta. Bigoted law, racist law, Jim Crow law. So in General Sherman’s march to the sea burning everything in sight, the Woke Pol has literally done the same to the minority worker who votes for the Libtard. They will never forget this slap in the face.

The politicians of the Libtard Stripes are now feeling the WOKE pain; the wrath of the people who will be hurt most, the minority worker who depends on the economic activity geared up by the All-Star Game. But suddenly the Woke Racists are now reversing their 69 call for boycott; yes they have turned around. Come election time they will feel it at the polls; there is no two ways about it. These pols will be f’ckd from behind, wait and see. Black folk have long memories.

The  (click)move of the All Star Game will deal an economic blow to Atlanta, which is 51% Black, and provide a boost to Colorado’s capital, which is only 9% Black, according to U.S. Census figures.

A head’s up for the Blacks heading to the Mile High City, liquor stores don’t carry Olde English 800 or Colt 45. Stay put in Atlanta where you are welcome by The Braves, but not by the WOKE Pols who are pandering to you. Taking their advice will keep you pickin cotton from their plantation. Affectively, you got fk’d without going to the mile high city. Nice people those WOKE!

MLB botches Georgia boycott as league is poised to move All-Star game to state with similar voting laws

DOWN WITH COKE – CALL TO ARMS – BOYCOTT COCA COLA PRODUCTS – UPDATE

We can piss on big trees too. You will be made to suffer our indignation. Wait and see, we can go WOKE.

Whoops! Well, it turns out that bowing down to the social justice warriors really is a dangerous and self-defeating strategy. Let’s see, this POS says to boycott Georgia because of the new Voter Law. The call has gone out to those who use products manufactured in Georgia to boycott them if they don’t go WOKE. So the M’FKR is now relenting, saying we didn’t really mean it. YOU OPENED YOUR BIG MOUTH AND NOW YOU WILL PAY IN SPADES.

STACEY ABRAMS, FOUNDER, FAIR FIGHT: To our friends across the country, please do not boycott us. I understand the passion of those calling for boycotts of Georgia following the passage of SB 202, but here’s the thing. Black, Latino, AAPI, and Native American voters whose votes are most suppressed under SB 202 are also the most likely to be hurt by potential boycotts of Georgia.

Case in point: Democrats’ lies about Georgia‘s voter integrity law, equating it to Jim Crow. Well, it sends an all sorts of far-left activists down the boycott Georgia warpath, including, well, that fringe figure, President Joe Biden, who eagerly jumped on the punish Georgia train in an interview with ESPN.

Well, well, well. Aside from the fact that Joe seemed to be sleeping in that interview, as “The Angle” told you last night, these left-wing boycotts of the All-Star Game or frankly, any other event or product, would cause huge economic damage and send jobs to other low-tax states. They’ll hurt Georgia.

So, the blowback against this is growing, which forced even liberal Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff to put out a statement last night saying, “I absolutely oppose and reject any notion of boycotting Georgia.” But then he said that look, corporations that are disgusted, like we are with this voter suppression bill, should stop any financial support for the Georgia Republican Party.

So let’s see here, “The bottom line is that these two twerps have no balls. Did they drink some of Coca Cola’s Smart Water?

And then Stacey Abrams, the mastermind behind the fraudulent attack on Georgia’s voter ID law, also has been caught in a trap of her own making. Must be a big trap.

BOYCOTT THE FOLLOWING Coca Cola BRANDS:

Former President Trump suggested Saturday that Republicans take a page out of what he sees as Democrats’ playbook by boycotting the major businesses that have condemned Georgia’s new election reform. 

“For years the Radical Left Democrats have played dirty by boycotting products when anything from that company is done or stated in any way that offends them. Now they are going big time with WOKE CANCEL CULTURE and our sacred elections,” Trump wrote in a statement. 

“It is finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back—we have more people than they do—by far! Boycott Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS, and Merck. Don’t go back to their products until they relent,” he continued. 

THE ILHAN OMAR CON

Ilhan Omar

Omar was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, in October 1982. According to the biography posted on her own website, she lived there for around eight years before her family fled to a refugee camp in Kenya, moving to the United States four years later, and eventually settling in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis in 1997. 

In a 2018 interview with the Intercept website’s “Deconstructed” podcast, Omar said she became a naturalized U.S. citizen before she turned 18 years old, explaining that, “My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process.”

In the same interview, she said her family resettled in the U.S. in 1995. Since a would-be naturalized citizen must first live in the U.S. as a permanent resident for five years, 2000 would be the earliest year in which Omar’s father (and Omar herself) could become citizens. Since Omar was born in October 1982, she turned 18 in October 2000. So, based on the sequence of events presented by Omar, it appears she became a U.S. citizen at the age of 17, some time between January and October 2000 —

Although Omar’s account makes sense, and we found no substantive dispute over it, we were unable to locate any official documentation that supports that version of events. We asked Omar’s spokesperson and district director to provide any official documentation that would confirm the date of her naturalization, but we received no such evidence.

The Congresswoman’s spokesperson reiterated that she became a U.S. citizen in 2000, and pointed out that an individual cannot be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives without demonstrating citizenship, but the spokesperson did not have Omar’s “personal government documents.”

Until and unless evidence of that nature becomes available to us, definitively establishing that Omar became a U.S. citizen in 2000 she has pull off one of the greatest cons in history.

In the AP story, Omar’s replies to all this are those of the victim combined with overtones of the royal “we”:

“We choose not to further the narratives of those who would oppose us” Omar’s statement said, adding that she believes the claims are being made by people who want to stop a black, female Muslim from sitting in Congress.

The chronology of all this, briefly, follows:

  • 1982 — Born in Somalia;
  • 1991 — Went to refugee camp in Kenya;
  • 1995 — Came to United States as a refugee, becoming a citizen at some later point;
  • 2002 — Took out a marriage license to marry Ahmed Hirsi (AKA Ahmed Aden), but did not marry him except in a Muslim ceremony; they had two kids;
  • 2008 — Parted from Hirsi; a Muslim divorce, not recorded, took place;
  • 2009 — Married Ahmed Elmi; a marriage certificate exists;
  • 2011 — Parted from Elmi, with a Muslim divorce;
  • 2012 — Reunited with Hirsi and had a third child;
  • 2017 — Formally divorced Elmi (after being elected to the legislature);
  • 2018 — Married (re-married?) Hirsi and was nominated for Congress.

At the very least, a busy lady — one with a fondness for guys named Ahmed.

YOU SAY THE MILITARY CAN’T TAKE OVER – TIME FOR ACTION HAS ARRIVED

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:– I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Preamble

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

In Congress, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –-That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

As indicated above, “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government“, We the People Have the Right to abolish our government for acts that have betrayed the Constitution. Because of the nature and power of the President and Congress it is incumbent on the Military to exercise their power by the Will of the People and Confirmed by the Supreme Court.

Will this happen, can this happen? Yes indeed. The Biden Administration is in violation of the oath they took to Defend the Constitution and Laws of the United States. The time has come for us to hold them accountable for Treason and Sedition. Section 9 of the Constitution explicitly gives the States the Rights to control the flow of immigrants into their state. Additionally, The Writ of Habeas Corpus can be declared by the Military in case of Rebellion and Invasion. It is explicit on this point.

Section. 9.

The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.

The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

JEW HATING MUSLIM ATTACKS CAPITOL – KILLED GUARD THEN SHOT DEAD

A Muslim Extremist was identified yesterday as a subscriber and donkey licker Jew hating Louis Farrakhan. Before we bring you the story it is important to focus on MSNBC who identified the killer as a White Racist. As they did in Colorado last week the lame stream media goes over backwards to point the finger at White Racists, White Radicalism, White Extremism, when in fact these atrocious events are perpetrated by people of color or as in preceding two incidents Muslim extremists.

Sources have identified the suspect in a deadly Capitol attack as Noah Green, a 25-year-old from Indiana with ties to Virginia and the Nation of Islam.

Green allegedly slammed his sedan into two police officers near the Capitol’s North Barricade, the entrance where congress members and their aides come and go. The attack killed U.S. Capitol Police Officer William “Billy” Evans and injured another officer, who was still hospitalized Friday evening in stable condition.

Facebook said it was working with law enforcement and had taken down the profile under its “Dangerous Individuals and Organizations” policy.

The page included photos and videos of Nation of Islam rallies, and the bio identified Green as “Follower of Farrakhan.”

He also praised Farrakhan, an outspoken anti-Semite, as “Jesus” and former NOI leader Elijah Muhammad as “the exalted Christ.”

DOA SCUM DESERVES TO BE EATEN BY PIGS

“WATER THIS” LIBTARDS

The day is fast approaching when every libtard is going to be WATERBOARDED. It is not out of the realm of possibility that the Supreme Court with the backing of the military will go into action alert. In this scenario the present government of Biden Inc. will be arrested, jailed and executed.

The new voting regulations signed into law by the Governor of Georgia provoked the ire of the libtards who went into a frenzy. To cap it off, MBL went Woke by pulling of the All Star Game. Coca Cola whose home is Atlanta joined in the WOKE MOB. There is nothing that these suicide bombers won’t do to get their way. See next for the Voting Bill signed into law by Governor Kemp.

Governor Kemp signed into law a new voting right legislation. Even before it was inked the minority rabble rousers yelled foul. This was the sign of their pea brains in low gear operation. The law, if read in its full text reveals that instead of suppressing voters rights, it actually opened up the state to more voters through easy access. The legislation also provided sanctity and security to the vote. They yelled Jim Crow. Probably the majority of them had no idea who he was.

In practice, Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation in all public facilities in the states of the former Confederate States of America and in some others, beginning in the 1870s. Jim Crow laws were upheld in 1896 in the case of Plessy vs. Ferguson, in which the U.S. Supreme Court laid out its “separate but equal” legal doctrine for facilities for African Americans. Moreover, public education had essentially been segregated since its establishment in most of the South after the Civil War in 1861–65.

Georgia voters will have to follow new election rules. State Republicans there passed a sweeping elections bill that limits mail-in voting and changes absentee and early voting. Governor Brian Kemp signed the legislation into law last night.

Changes to absentee voting

Mail-in absentee voting will look the most different for voters, especially after 1.3 million people used that method in the November general election. Voters over 65, with a disability, in the military or who live overseas will still be able to apply once for a ballot and automatically receive one the rest of an election cycle. But the earliest voters can request a mail-in ballot will be 11 weeks before an election instead of 180 days — less than half as much time.

The final deadline to complete an application is moved earlier, too. Instead of returning an application by the Friday before election day, SB 202 now backs it up to two Fridays before. Republican sponsors of the bill and local elections officials say this will cut down on the number of ballots rejected for coming in late because of the tight turnaround.

Counties will also begin mailing out absentee ballots about three weeks later than before, starting four weeks before the election.

Requesting and returning a ballot will also require new ID rules: either your driver’s license number, state ID number or, if you don’t have those, a copy of acceptable voter ID. The law also allows for applications to be returned online, after the Secretary of State’s office launched an online request portal using your driver’s license number or state ID number ahead of November’s general election.

Poll workers will use that information, plus your name, date of birth and address, to verify your identity, and you will sign an oath swearing that everything is correct. This is a change from recent procedure that would check your signature on the application with those on file.

The actual absentee ballot and envelopes will look different, as well. SB 202 requires absentee ballots to be printed on special security paper, and your precinct name will now be included along with precinct ID printed at the top. Once you fill out your choices by filling in the circles for your choices, you will place it in an envelope that will have your name, signature, driver’s license or state ID number (or last four digits of your Social Security number) and date of birth. The envelope will be designed so that sensitive personal information will be hidden once it is sealed.

Changes to early voting

One of the biggest changes in the bill would expand early voting access for most counties, adding an additional mandatory Saturday and formally codifying Sunday voting hours as optional. Counties can have early voting open as long as 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at minimum. If you live in a larger metropolitan county, you might not notice a change. For most other counties, you will have an extra weekend day, and your weekday early voting hours will likely be longer.

Another new rule that affects both in-person early voting and election day voting would prohibit anyone except poll workers from handing out water to voters in line, and outlaw passing out food and water to voters within 150 feet of the building that serves as a poll, inside a polling place or within 25 feet of any voter standing in line. Depending on the location, it is still possible for third-party groups to have food and water available  — and it is possible for the lines to extend beyond 150 feet.

So, one of the biggest complaints concerns water. WATER, we say? Never in our life did we see anyone passing out water at a polling place. If you need water or anticipate the need for water, bring your own. The liptards tirade on the bucket brigade relates to them buying votes by wetting the beak of potential voters.

BRING YOUR OWN WATER ON ELECTION DAY. THE LAST TIME WE LOOKED, GEORGIA WAS NOT A DESERT.

The most significant changes are noted below according to the N.Y. Slimes. To the informed citizen who does not want his vote to be infringed these changes are not onerous, but protect the sanctity of the vote. The Libtards are up in arms because these new regulations adversely affect their chances of engaging in Voter Fraud. Simple as that. The remaining 49 states should implement the same law.

Here are the most significant changes to voting in the state, as written into the new law:

EDUCATION $$$ DOWN THE DRAIN – THINK ABOUT IT?

Teaching a stone is a fool’s errand. Educator will agree on this, most will not hesitate to tell you about the difficulty of getting the same results from a global universe. The majority of students exposed to the same input struggle interpreting, then digesting it in a meaningful way, resulting in a comprehension space that is 180 degrees from one another; top tier is 10% at best. The explanation of the wide range of comprehension can be explained by genes, yes DNA. Numerous studies by world renowned scientists, genealogists, biologists have concluded that all brains are not created equal. In today’s world where “equity” is demanded, not equality, we see this as a euphemism for divisiveness of cultures. Ethnicity, in many respects has proven to be a accurate way of determining the upper echelon in today’s fast paced technological world, but that doesn’t register with the culture clashers. Ethnicity also has subsets that confirm the empirical evidence because others in that space are left behind. To fend for themselves these mental dwarfs rely on the political class to do their bidding.

Today’s aggressive sub groups can be broken down by common interests not only by ethnicity aka as nationality in to some. The proof is manifested in the success of Silicon Valley. Workers from various countries, ones that have been at war for centuries or are still at war today, coalesce, cooperate and collaborate for the good. Their clan attitude dissolving in milliseconds. The final result, the goal is what counts, that being success. Finding a solution to a problem overweighs their past biases, racist thinking and cultural differences. With the conflagration of past clashes put aside, great strides have been made. Scientific discoveries of one kind or another are the result of cooperation between ethnic groups. Today, this is happening all over the world. The democracy of ideas leads to success across several fronts.

However, all are not equal. Because one person in a specific ethnic group has succeeded beyond expectations, doesn’t mean we expect all to do the same. Apples do not fall far from the tree. This is a fact of life. Study after study have demonstrated this, but to no avail. Those who dismiss empirical evidence, the naysayers, are their own worst enemy. They don’t see the true facts as being true. This ideological grouping is the enemy of the people. Who are they: Socialists, Libtards, political hacks and those who pull the Race Card at every turn.

We want to be crystal clear here. Facts are facts, empirical evidence supports these facts, but criminal politicians against individualism turn a blind eye to them. We provide you with an example. Dog breeds have been tested for intelligence; certain breeds always rise to the top. No need to list them all, but the sheltie, retriever, shepherd and poodle are the hierarchy of top brainiac dogs. You don’t hear the owner’s of those down on the list protest, do you? This is the same with humans, all are not created equal. To think an educator can influence the intelligence of a human beyond their biological capability is Neanderthal thinking. We advise those who ‘think-not’ to read the voluminous tomes that explicitly provide facts, figures and hard evidence proving such theories. They aren’t theories once proven, they are facts. At this point science cannot be denied.

There are those who deny the theory of eugenics. However, once a theory is now proving to be going mainstream. Eugenics has been associated with zero population growth (ZPG). The application on populations where poverty exists and other sub-human characteristics has been disavowed by many of past and also today’s dim-witted politicians. But the world population has reached the state of no return. More people, more pollution! Something has to give. That brings us to “critical race theory (CRT)” which says that the White Race stymies the advancement of people of color. Defining CRT says the hypocrites among us say it is inherently racist and that race itself, instead of being biologically grounded and natural, is a socially constructed concept that is used by white people to further their economic and political interests at the expense of people of colour. Of course this canard is another one used by the socialist cabal that includes those who apologize for past inequities. Pale Face must pay, they are guilty for crimes against humanity. Their colonial past has subjugated us, turned us into slaves. Therefore we have carried this burden with us forever. “If you give us equity all will be alright.” So money will solve the problem. How so? Increase your brain cells? Yeah right! Man has to know his limitations.

But again we refer to the statistics that prove beyond a reasonable doubt that all brains are not created equal. Everyone is not an Einstein, Darwin, Ramanujan, Curie, Leibniz, Bose, Gasparov Emeagwali, Bacon, Tesla, da Vinci and Newton. Educators believe that they can make you into one. Once again, we repeat the old saying, you cannot put lipstick on a pig and call it a pig. They just don’t get it. These unruly retards will be the first to bare the brunt of incarceration upon the return law. The likes of Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, Waters, Cortez, Schitt, Nadler, Harris to name a few will feel the scalpel of justice once and for all. Lobotomy is the cure for social elitists.

The criminalocracy aka Democrats do not believe in the Constitution. Their demented pea brains do not subscribe to the theory that all men/women are created equal, yes created equal, not created equal equitable. Their misinterpretation of this statement results in their thinking that struggles, do to racism, are denying people of color their equitable rights. They are wrong, dead wrong. For example, the hierarchy of Mexican intellectuals proves it. Mexico has a very dynamic middle and upper class. Those at the bottom rung of the ladder have not succeeded due to the limits of their DNA to think above the margin. Those that break into our country will not add to the gene pool, they will dilute it. Additionally, top echelon scientists, doctors, engineers from Nigeria debase their conclusions. Look to Afghan and Pakistani doctors who man hospitals, are they discriminated against? How about the Vietnamese rice picker who came here after the war, is he/she not fulfilling a lifelong dream as a math professor? Those of the Jewish persuasion have been discriminated against from day one, do you hear a peep out of them? So what goes? The simple truth is that the liberal elite are power hungry scam artists who seek control of the lives of Americans. Their mission is to destroy what is right about America. Their disdain for individualism, liberty, truth, justice and democracy is well known. If things were so bad here why is that millions are waiting in line to come here?

We beg you to read the the laws of Human Stupidity printed in full below. This will provide you full circle of the “stupid is stupid” theory proving without a reasonable doubt that today’s DESTRUCTORS ARE FULLY ENGAGED to accomplish the ultimate DESTRUCTION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION.

The Five Universal Laws of Human Stupidity

We underestimate the stupid, and we do so at our own peril.

Not just a danger to themselves. Photo by Reuters/Susana Vera

In 1976, a professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley published an essay outlining the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as humanity’s greatest existential threat: Stupidity.

Stupid people, Carlo M. Cipolla explained, share several identifying traits: they are abundant, they are irrational, and they cause problems for others without apparent benefit to themselves, thereby lowering society’s total well-being. There are no defenses against stupidity, argued the Italian-born professor, who died in 2000. The only way a society can avoid being crushed by the burden of its idiots is if the non-stupid work even harder to offset the losses of their stupid brethren.

Let’s take a look at Cipolla’s five basic laws of human stupidity:

Law 1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

No matter how many idiots you suspect yourself surrounded by, Cipolla wrote, you are invariably lowballing the total. This problem is compounded by biased assumptions that certain people are intelligent based on superficial factors like their job, education level, or other traits we believe to be exclusive of stupidity. They aren’t. Which takes us to:

Law 2: The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

Cipolla posits stupidity is a variable that remains constant across all populations. Every category one can imagine—gender, race, nationality, education level, income—possesses a fixed percentage of stupid people. There are stupid college professors. There are stupid people at Davos and at the UN General Assembly. There are stupid people in every nation on earth. How numerous are the stupid amongst us? It’s impossible to say. And any guess would almost certainly violate the first law, anyway.

Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

Cipolla called this one the Golden Law of stupidity. A stupid person, according to the economist, is one who causes problems for others without any clear benefit to himself.

The uncle unable to stop himself from posting fake news articles to Facebook? Stupid. The customer service representative who keeps you on the phone for an hour, hangs up on you twice, and somehow still manages to screw up your account? Stupid.

This law also introduces three other phenotypes that Cipolla says co-exist alongside stupidity. First there is the intelligent person, whose actions benefit both himself and others. Then there is the bandit, who benefits himself at others’ expense. And lastly there is the helpless person, whose actions enrich others at his own expense. Cipolla imagined the four types along a graph, like this:a chart of ineffectual people from helpless people to bandits

The non-stupid are a flawed and inconsistent bunch. Sometimes we act intelligently, sometimes we are selfish bandits, sometimes we act helplessly and are taken advantage of by others, and sometimes we’re a bit of both. The stupid, in comparison, are paragons of consistency, acting at all times with unyielding idiocy.

However, consistent stupidity is the only consistent thing about the stupid. This is what makes stupid people so dangerous. Cipolla explains:

Essentially stupid people are dangerous and damaging because reasonable people find it difficult to imagine and understand unreasonable behavior. An intelligent person may understand the logic of a bandit. The bandit’s actions follow a pattern of rationality: nasty rationality, if you like, but still rationality. The bandit wants a plus on his account. Since he is not intelligent enough to devise ways of obtaining the plus as well as providing you with a plus, he will produce his plus by causing a minus to appear on your account. All this is bad, but it is rational and if you are rational you can predict it. You can foresee a bandit’s actions, his nasty maneuvres and ugly aspirations and often can build up your defenses.

With a stupid person all this is absolutely impossible as explained by the Third Basic Law. A stupid creature will harass you for no reason, for no advantage, without any plan or scheme and at the most improbable times and places. You have no rational way of telling if and when and how and why the stupid creature attacks. When confronted with a stupid individual you are completely at his mercy.

All of which leads us to:

Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

We underestimate the stupid, and we do so at our own peril. This brings us to the fifth and final law:

Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

And its corollary:

A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.

We can do nothing about the stupid. The difference between societies that collapse under the weight of their stupid citizens and those who transcend them are the makeup of the non-stupid. Those progressing in spite of their stupid possess a high proportion of people acting intelligently, those who counterbalance the stupid’s losses by bringing about gains for themselves and their fellows.

Declining societies have the same percentage of stupid people as successful ones. But they also have high percentages of helpless people and, Cipolla writes, “an alarming proliferation of the bandits with overtones of stupidity.”

“Such change in the composition of the non-stupid population inevitably strengthens the destructive power of the [stupid] fraction and makes decline a certainty,” Cipolla concludes. “And the country goes to Hell.”

I don’t have much to add here today that hasn’t already been said.

Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—white people and people who are not white, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850.

A line can and should be drawn from the actions of the white supremacist who walked into three Atlanta-area massage parlors yesterday, and allegedly killed eight people—six of whom were of Asian descent—to the relentless anti-Asian rhetoric pollinating national discourse over the past year. The former president, and the party of the former president, can and should be blamed for this and the sudden increase of racist violence against Asian Americans. The line doesn’t stop there, though. It extends back 400 years and has tentacles clawing everywhere white supremacy exists here, in America, which is everywhere.

There’s a line connecting this act of terror to the 11 people killed at the Tree of Life synagogue in 2018, and the nine people killed at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 2015, of course. But also to gentrification, to red-lining, to racial profiling, to gerrymandering, to voter oppression, to mass incarceration, to the war on drugs, to the subprime mortgage crisis, to the vast disparities in both COVID deaths and who receives COVID vaccinations, to how the men and women who stormed the capitol just went home and had dinner with their families afterward. While we were still processing and recovering from what we witnessed, they were already back on their couches, watching Criminal Minds.

White supremacy is a virus that, like other viruses, will not die until there are no bodies left for it to infect. Which means the only way to stop it is to locate it, isolate it, extract it, and kill it. I guess a vaccine could work, too. But we’ve had 400 years to develop one, so I won’t hold my breath.

BREAK A LEG JOE – REALLY THIS AINT FUNNY

Sleepy Joe Biden is on the verge of collapse, the job is taking its toll, so is his age. We all know that physical prowess diminishes vastly after 75 years. In Joe’s case he is over the age limit, and it shows. Joe is on his last legs. We will not be surprised when the next fall occurs. No punch to the head, like a drum, but a crushing blow by the concrete. Joe is not dead yet, but close. Click the video to see his unwavering gate while climbing the stairs leading to AF-1. Give it up Joe, “come on man.”
