The Logic of Identity Politics REPRINT

Nothing floats liberalism like identity politics. Nobody’s an individual: we are significant only in terms of our membership in an identifiable group. If we want to prosper, we must arrange to be included in a group identified as victims. Then we are entitled to other people’s stuff.

Anyhow, here’s how identity politics works. See if you can follow the simple logic in this example:

*Amelia Earhart was a woman.

*Amelia Earhart was an aviation pioneer.

*I, Reesha Plopkin, am a woman.

*Therefore I, Reesha Plopkin, am an aviation pioneer.

In Lesson Two, we shall see that all Ms. Plopkin has to do is self-identify as a jet pilot–and that makes her one. Hand her the keys to the jump jet!

‘The Absurdity of “Diversity” and “Inclusion”‘ (2016)

Marching off to Lib-land…

We saw an American cop show once–I think it was an episode of Law and Order–that was about the most constipated thing I’ve ever seen. They couldn’t get through a single scene without “including” every identifiable cultural or ethnic group except the Picts–a perfect illustration of the absurdity of “diversity” and “inclusion.”

The Absurdity of ‘Diversity’ and ‘Inclusion’

Where is it written that every group must be “included” in everything we do? Where is it written that “diversity” must be pursued as an end in itself, and artificially created?

And with a group of artificially-created “diverse” characters, how come they all look like models, all with perfect teeth and hair, etc.? Why does “diversity” always end up looking and sounding like uniformity?

Uh… because it’s a liberal thing, and lib things never make any sense?

Here’s the trouble with trying to cover all the crazy **** that’s happening, these days–you just can’t keep up. After I wrote this little essay and submitted it to Newswithviews, any number of equally daft or even crazier stories came along.

*Sigh* I just want to get back outside, back to work on my book. I’m hurtling toward a climax, but I don’t know what that climax is! Going on past experience, the Lord will show me when I’m not expecting it.

Porn Star Gripes: She’s Treated as a Sexual Object

Bad enough having to write about pornography: I refuse to illustrate it. Here’s a nice red eft instead.

I give you my word that I’m not making this up. Yes, a pornography actress has complained of sexual harassment on the set (https://nypost.com/2018/08/29/i-was-treated-like-a-piece-of-meat-adult-actress-waits-for-metoo/). “I was treated like a piece of meat!” she wails.

Uh… yeah… so? What did she expect?

Ooh! But “other women in the porn business have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct–” ya think? And so have “sex workers.” Those used to be known as prostitutes.

This poor porny actress, in the course of doing a certain kind of scene which shall not be described by me, complained she was “groped by a director.” Good heavens. And of another kind of scene, she said, “I don’t mind being lightly choked, but–” I think I’ll stop there.

How exactly do porn performers expect to be treated? Go ahead, say “With respect!” I double-dog dare you.

Under no circumstances are they engaged in work that anyone is obliged to respect. If they had any self-respect, they wouldn’t act in porn films. How can they demand that anyone else respect them, if they don’t respect themselves?

But as liberals and secular fundamentalists continue to transform America into a vast fornication theme park for lazy and immoral swine, don’t expect any good to come of it.
