The Political Spectrum

The Political/Economic Spectrum.

Fascism is a word that gets thrown around by Social Justice Warriors (SJWs). In my conversations that I attempt to have with them, they become hostile and condescending, but are unable to define “fascism” except to say that it is a frightening characteristic of people on the “far right”. They end friendships with people who express any ideas that they have been conditioned to hate. Some are so brutally indoctrinated that they obsessively include things like masculinity and private ownership as characteristics of fascism.

However, if the simplest description of the political/economic spectrum is used, fascism is clearly on the left where there is greater government control over society. On the right, where governments have less power and individuals have greater freedom, it is impossible for power-hungry monsters like Hitler to achieve their goals. Socialists desperately what to disown the National Socialist party of Germany and put the blame for his crimes on capitalism. The Nazis cut social programs and therefore leftists claim that it was capitalism that caused the second world war and holocaust. In their minds, Donald Trump is a fascist and some of them go as far as saying that he is “literally Hitler”.

It seems to me that some concepts of the political spectrum are very convoluted and confusing. SJWs rationalize that because the Nazis cut social programs, they are certainly on the right wing. According to them, anyone who wants less government than Weimar Germany offered is on the so-called right wing.

While it is true that Hitler cut social programs and permitted private businesses for Aryans, he was far from being a small-government libertarian who supported free-market capitalism. There were high taxes and very strong influence over many aspects of life by the state, including industry. The republic that replaced the German Empire after the first world war inherited gargantuan problems that politicians attempted to fix by printing money. If your currency was valued trillions to one against the U.S. dollar, what would you do? The economy was in such shambles after the first world war that no SJW is capable of understanding how horrible things were. Many people were horribly disfigured, trembling amputees with shellshock (PDSD) and severe hearing damage. Many people were dead. The Treaty of Versailles insured that their offspring where financially enslaved to France and the United States for generations. SJWs, in their delusion, insist that Germany before the second world war was basically like today’s USA and crawling with proto-Trump supporters.

SJWs label Nazis as “far right”. Do they think that moving away from communism first decreases government control over people until it reaches a minimum and then begins to increase again, like a sinewave? This manipulative way of thinking is unfortunate because it gives the impression that people who want freedom and small government are fascists.

Hard work and innovation are suddenly met with the scorn of screaming, militant Marxists who, in some cases, will start fires, loot businesses and hurt people unwilling to endorse their movement. However, in the clown-world of SJWs where up is down and left is right, the truck drivers who found their way to Ottawa and honked their horns are somehow the bad guys. A significant number of the drivers were of East Indian ancestry, but that didn’t stop the MSM from characterizing images the protests with images of a Confederate flag amongst the protesters and focusing on vague reports of unfavorable behavior on the part of “far-right-extremists”.

Can people begin to think logically about the political spectrum or is it me who is crazy for thinking that Hitler and his big-government and extreme control of his population belongs on the left with the other monsters who call themselves socialists? Perhaps someone can explain to me why they associate Nazis and their concentration camps with people who value hard work and independence instead of associating Nazis with communists. Hitler would never tolerate the comedy and relentless insults that Trump endured every day in the (MSM) for his entire first term. Orange Man boasted about the prosperity of minorities when he was in office and continues to talk about how good things were for everybody (except D.C. swamp creatures) under his administration. On January 6^th, he clearly called for “peaceful” protest. By what ridiculous mental gymnastics is he similar to Hitler?

Help me with the intellectual contortionism required to think that Joe Biden is a better president in any way.

The Emergency Actor

Shortly after the self-described “Young Risk Taker”, Floyd George, attempted to buy cigarettes with counterfeit money, he found himself in trouble with the police. He found himself high on drugs and under the influence of Officer Derek Chauvin’s knee. He was then transferred from that unfortunate situation to a morgue. Fans of the Young Risk Taker (YRT) were very upset, especially those of the radical leftist variety. Perhaps they never had the YRT holding the mussel of a gun to their pregnant bellies, otherwise they might have understood that pornstar/meth-heads are often lucky to live as long as The YRT lived.

The mainstream media turned The YRT into a martyr and millions of morons were recruited into militant mobs. Riots raged for over a hundred days in some places. Parts of major American cities were closed off and declared to be independent nations by drug-addled Marxists. Several city blocks were ruled sick, sloven activists who raised ramshackle border walls and presided over death and debauchery. Restaurants were invaded by chanting fanatics who would intimidate and coerce patrons into shouting and kneeling with them. Residential neighborhoods were subjected to hundreds of people yelling, “Wake up! Wake up! Wake up, mother fucker, wake up!” Dozens of people died and many police officers were injured.

President Trump offered to send the national guard many times and I marveled that he didn’t bypass the states and stop the mayhem. ANTIFA had to reach very close to the White House for the police to do much of anything to stop them and when they were prevented from burning down an important church in the capital, Trump was declared to be a despot. The mainstream media (MSM) was brutal to him for the duration of his first term. He was belittled mercilessly every day by comedians, pundits, and the obnoxious, opinionated liars on TV. He was often compared to Hitler. Would Der Fuhrer have allowed groups like BLM or ANTIFA to exist? Would Hitler allow shows like Saturday Night Live to roast him every weekend? Imagine if Trump wore blackface?

The obvious answer reveals the undeniable bias of the MSM. There is no doubt that if photos of Orange Man wearing blackface surfaced, they would be displayed permanently in the corner of every fakenews cast for the next ten years. The tickers at the bottom of the screen would only tell tales of Klansman Trump. Trudeau wore blackface many times and lied about his schedule on very first Day for Truth and Reconciliation so that he could fly right over the bleeding heart of controversy and go surfing. The media says very little about his incredibly obnoxious selfish behavior. The money that his government have paid to keep the legacy media afloat ensures that no one like Alec Baldwin are allowed to give Trudeau the comedic treatment or scathing critique that he has coming.

Fans of The YRT destroyed buildings and businesses. They looted, burned, intimidated and murdered. Many politicians knelt with their cause. The truckers in Ottawa cleaned up after themselves and might have reduced crime. Despite a few agitators who were probably paid, their protest was known to be friendly, fun and totally nonviolent. BLM created chaos and death for months. No emergency was declared. Trucks start blocking streets and honking their horns for a few weeks and Canada’s pathetic Prime Minister, first hides cowardly under flimsy pretexts and then orders his economically idiotic finance minister freeze bank accounts.

Trudeau, who openly expresses admiration for “basic dictatorship” of the most murderous regime in world history, the Chinese Communist Party, moves to freeze the bank accounts of peaceful protesters, but according to the MSM, Trump was a dictator. How ignorant must one be to not notice the double standard? How lazy must we be to remain complacent?

On Chuckwagon Races

During a decade in the past, the Calgary Stampede and Exhibition ran a marketing slogan. “The hottest ten days of summer.” I decided that they were the tackiest and continue to have a fairly cynical attitude towards the greatest outdoor show in town and its puke, sex and animal abuse. However, I found timeless beauty in those teams of horses thundering around the bend and onto the straightaway, whipped and screamed at reckless maniacs.

It is neither for nor against the controversial sport of chuckwagon racing that I speak. I can only try to convey the deep, unexpected response I felt upon witnessing, in the flesh, the metaphor of tent pegs being thrown into the back of a vehicle and the mad rush around the half mile of hell. I found it truly impressive. Tears come to my eyes now when I recall them charging into sight and towards the finish line. I felt so incredibly humble in the presence of such power and beauty. It is an awesome spectacle and the only thing that compares to it is everyday life.

After the fifth or eighth time that people climbed onto animals, they were probably racing them. I suspect that their brute force was put towards pulling plows only after we’d figured out how to move ourselves faster than our flimsy little legs would let us; faster than our competitors. How long have young men been meeting glory or disaster while trying to impress potential mates with acts of skill and courage? Can you imagine the countless creatures that have been killed because boys have something to prove? Amazing mounted women racing around barrels at the foot of the grandstand contribute to the mystique of this primitive pursuit. It is recreation now, but such skills were necessary for societies to thrive, only a short century ago. Throughout history, humans have dramatically increased their productivity by enslaving animals, including those of their own species. We have prospered by harnessing energy. It is in our blood. The bull riders and the burning flame of the Calgary tower are examples. Pain. Suffering. Death. And then a giant tractor pulls the grandstand stage onto the infield. A song and dance follow. Comedy. Fireworks. What a spectacle life is!

From racing on foot, we have raced on beasts and when beasts could carry us no faster, we forged machines. Rockets lifted an electric car towards mars, but still the hooves at the Stampede Grounds toss soil as those beautiful beasts are pushed to their limits and occasionally beyond. It is timeless and deadly like chariot races. It is dramatic.

I don’t blame my wife from Rio de Jannero for wanting to witness the most interesting show that we have to offer during the brief summer in this subarctic desert. I have tried to appease her with (what the City of Calgary claims is) the most extensive urban bicycle path network in North America. I have taken her camping in the mountains and on the prairies. What can else I do?… yeah, yeah, yeah. The Zoo. We haven’t been to the zoo yet. Fine! I’ll take her to the zoo. What then? What can with do during the inter-restriction time when we have favorable weather for about five minutes? Hopefully this year summer lands on a weekend, right? (winky face).

Open Letter Regarding David Suzuki’s Comments.

Dear Minister Nixon,

When David Suzuki made his statement about pipelines getting blown up, he had long since destroyed his credibility. However, we now have yet another reason to be skeptical of anyone who demands that we “trust the science” about the so-called “climate emergency” and the ridiculous, expensive solutions to these supposed problems.

When I believed in Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change (CACC), I stopped driving my VW Fox (80hp, 4cyl, 1000KG) and I became an avid cyclist year-round. I biked through the bitter, freezing cold and under the hot, blazing sun. Even now that I think CACC is fraud, I still bike over a thousand kilometers per year. If David Suzuki and his ilk really believe that we need to reduce our carbon footprint, why hasn’t he been promoting cycling since he was convinced that there was a problem? Bicycles are, by far, the most efficient form of transportation. They were readily available and affordable long before the first TESLA rolled off the production line. They were a viable option when Suzuki was a child. They improved a lot by the time he began claiming that fossil fuels were killing the planet and they have just gotten better and better. There is no excuse for the economically idiotic and unsustainable solutions that they propose to their fake crisis.

Deaths from weather-related events have declined dramatically in the past century. Storms have always happened and the data shows now alarming trends that I can see. Judging by the Prime Minister’s willingness to lye about his schedule on The Day for Truth and Reconciliation so that he could go surfing before and after the consumption of a large amount of jet fuel, Justin Trudeau is much less worried about CACC than I ever was. No major politician reduced his or her carbon footprint the way I did. No science/entertainment superstar like David Suzuki or Neil Degras Tyson seems willing to show the world how much fun it can be to ride a bicycle. What am I supposed to think when I see how slimy high-profile climate alarmists often are? David Suzuki’s foundation had a webpage to scare children with a cartoon of Santa’s workshop sinking into the Arctic. He even stated on Australian television that elected representatives who disagree with him should be prosecuted. That’s almost mafioso.

If the drought of 1540 happened today, climate alarmists would certainly blame human prosperity. I demand that the government stop towing the line on this issue. I don’t even want to hear about the need to make a “clean energy transition” when proponents of such policies are such hypocrites. The City of Calgary claims to have the most extensive network of bicycle paths and second busiest LRT network in North America. Calgary has been recognized as the cleanest city in the world. There is room for improvement but we are doing an excellent job here. I was recycling before Greta Thunberg’s parents even met.

Thank-you for speaking out against Suzuki’s comments. Please, don’t stop there.

Sincerely,

Cameron Melin

On Chuckwagon Races

What I Want from My Governments

We need to wear masks because we are stupid and ugly.

In pleasant contrast to the hostility and intolerance that many people express towards opinions that are contrary to their own, I was pleasantly surprised when someone asked me what I think and what I would do if I was in a position of power and influence. I was a little hard pressed to summarize the ideas that I have at this point in my life about how the world works and how I believe it could be better. I will try here. I will also include a few other ideas that have been shared with me.

But first, I will explain what little logic I managed to articulate in response to the interesting question of what I would like my governments to do. Its fairly simple: I am a Libertarian. I won’t say exactly what governments should or should do, but they should do less. The so-called “climate emergency” is a dangerous temptation for the them to do much, much more at disastrous expense. If it were up to me, the majority of Canadians who claim to be concerned about carbon dioxide emissions can hope on a bicycle from time to time and prove that they believe in Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Change (CACC). When I was a CACC-sucker I stopped driving my small car and biked year-round. Soccer moms, electricians and other people who want to virtue signal their concern for the environment can rack up a thousand kimmies a year without much difficulty. Many people can easily bike much more without compromising quality of life. They might actually benefit from the fresh air, exercise and perspective that bicycles provide (not to mention the inexpensive operation).

The City of Calgary boasts the most extensive urban bicycle path network in North America. Therefore, upgrading to a system that is practical and safe for most people would be a relatively inexpensive investment. Electric bicycles reduce the excuses that CACC-suckers produce when whining for subsidized cars with cup holders and acceleration that isn’t going to save the world. Investments in such infrastructure also has the advantage of fewer unionized employees than public transit. Drivers and mechanics cost taxpayers a lot.

What will cost taxpayers more? Replacing every automobile and piece of power generation equipment in the world, or ending street parking along good cycling routes?

I imagine a project: there is currently a bicycle path that runs along a pleasant and picturesque route from downtown to the city’s North East. However, once riders fly over Deerfoot Trail, they quickly find themselves on roads with cars. The available routes into the residential areas are indirect and tedious compared to the pathway of the Nose Creek Valley. I propose a viaduct over the warehouses and the mall that lies between Alberta’s busiest highway and the neighborhoods. It would save cyclists time, encounters with automobiles. It would also provide Calgary’s North East with some much-needed awesomeness. The quadrant has pathways, but few of them are interesting or beautiful. A fast route with a view of the city centre with the mountains in the background might encourage people to leave their private automobiles at home more often. Even the mall might receive more visits if people can park their bikes on the roof and wander down to its corridors.

Another project that I would like to see would be a passenger train between Calgary and Edmonton. There have proposals for a highspeed service but since there is no regular speed passenger trains at this point, perhaps we should start there. The highspeed proposals only stop and the airports of the province’s two biggest cities and in Red Deer. If it were up to me, exciting destinations like Airdrie, Olds and Penoka could have stops. These towns and small cities might benefit from people being able to commute conveniently to a business centre. Many passengers could also bring bicycles on the trains or leave them at the stations.

Geeze…that might be the extent of what I would do if I were the despot. How about some of my brother’s ideas? He suggested making public transit free! I am skeptical, but it might just be crazy enough to work. I’ve heard about it being successful on some level in at least one place. It would, in theory, reduce the need for expensive infrastructure projects and improve traffic flow. He also suggested the city buy or rent a tunneling machine to make routes for bicycles or public transit. When a major road was dug up, he said it would have been a good opportunity to put a subway line down. What else?

Ah yeah. I had another idea of my own: a petition fair. People can hang out and sign all the non-binding statements that they agree with and acquire snacks from food trucks and ignore live entertainment from musicians and clowns. It might be a good event to also host debates and forums.

This is something that I will continue to think about, but there are very few things that I would rush to change. Despite identifying as a libertarian and being suspicious of bureaucracies, I must admit to receiving reasonably good service from government employees most of the time and excellent service many times. I have received several responses to letters that I have written to public officials, including Ralph Klein when he was Premier. I am open to the idea of private education and healthcare, but I let other people argue things like that.

Oh! Yet another idea! Perhaps there should be a few government positions that are offered by way of a lottery. That would give people who lack the connections and money that help with leadership roles an opportunity to influence some of the decisions that get made on our behalf. The prime minister should not be put in place this way, but some lucky person gets to have his or her voice lifted above the din.

Hey! There’s more! Calgary also claims to have the world’s largest collection of interconnected elevated walkways in it’s downtown core. Why aren’t these promoted during the cold months as a place of walking/jogging. I see a city centre with a new train station and waterpark along the 9th Ave corridor where lots of land waits for interesting additions.

Here’s one for you: Let’s replace “pride” celebrations with honoring the love between consenting human adults (CHAL). Not only is this intended to protect CHAL rights, but it also seems worth sparing innocent, impressionable young minds the highly sexualized aspects of pride parades. Where is the parade to honor healthy families?

“Pride” parades are also due to be replaced because I think many people are very tired of the LGBTQRSTUV2F+ BS. I am. This ever-changing initialism has become extremely convoluted and its still not enough sometimes. Some people feel the need to add a “plus” to the end. Plus, what? Hmm? PLUS, WHAT?! What is the perversion that is missing from the lengthening series of letters? What is up with that goddamn “plus”? What are they beating around the bush about? Hmmm? Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, 2 Spirited. What else is there?

Do we need rights for people who are attracted to inanimate objects? Sure. Why not? As long as they don’t hump any of my inanimate objects, or anything out in public, its none of my business. How about people that are sexually attracted to animate objects that aren’t consenting adults? Do they deserve to engage in their fantasies? In my opinion, all good people must oppose perverts trying to get off on animals or children.

What?! LGBTQRSTUV2F+ BS is not meant to hurt children? I’m a bigot for only supporting CHAL? Who am I oppressing? I just want freedom for people to engage in healthy relationships and that excludes all forms of pedophilia and bestiality. That exclusion is meant to prevent civilization from collapsing.

Next, I will quit drinking as a demonstration of my displeasure with the vaxx pass. I’ll show you healthy. Close the gyms down but keep the liquor stores open? Consider making your family eat outside in the bitter freezing cold for Christmas? How can we trust these bureaucrats?

The Risky Green Line

Transportation was an interesting topic before climate hysteria and the corona bacteria from Japan on the economy reduced my enthusiasm for the addition of the “Green Line” to the CTrain’s routes. Transportation continues to be an important part of the civic conversation with the final aproval being given to the undertaking. It is a super-mega project by the standards of land and will command mountains of money. There have also been rumblings on talk radio about passenger rail again linking our city to Banff. Talk of a high-speed link to Edmonton continues to bubble up from time to time, and The City of Calgary has been claiming that it has North America’s most extensive bicycle path network.

Maybe Black Sabbath was singing about our humble LRT system when they unleashed their hit single “Crazy Train” upon the world. Before the pandemic, it was the second busiest LRT network in North America. However, a significant fraction of the nation wants the industry that our economy depends on to be strangled to death. Electric cars are stepping out from the world of science fiction and onto the road. They will also be limited by resources, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss the growth of companies like Tesla. Will bitumen be able to buy the interesting amenity on the table? I would have put that wealth elsewhere.

While writing an article about the proposed High-Speed Rail (HSR) link between Calgary and Edmonton, I had the pleasure of speaking Peter Wallis of the Van Horn Institute for Transportation studies. He might have sensed my skepticism, and as he tried to explain the viability of a bullet train in Alberta, he used a rhetorical question; “What would you do?” I responded that I was looking for the opinion of a transportation think-tank professional like him, but I later wrote him an email to describe what would happen if it were up to me.

Because there hasn’t been conventional passenger rail transportation between the province’s two largest cities for decades, I have come to believe that we should probably start with a something less zippy than the systems that were proposed. The plan that the Van Horne Institute described included only five stations; downtown Calgary, Calgary International Airport, Red Deer, Edmonton International Airport and Downtown Edmonton. What about exciting destinations like Airdrie, Olds, Lacombe and Wetaskiwin where people are compelled to move to different places within the corridor on a daily basis? I dare to dream of tunnelling under Red Deer and having a subway station in the centre of the middle city.

While we’re on the topic of what I would do if it were up to me…I would significantly improve Calgary’s bicycle infrastructure before committed the city to the financial burden of the Green Line. Calgary is already fairly bike-friendly and it wouldn’t take much to go from a scenic recreational network to a fast, and practical transportation option for many people. I would start with in the North East. Near 32 Ave, there is a pedestrian bridge that allows riders to comfortably go from the Nose Creek pathway, over Deerfoot Trail and towards communities like Rundle, Marlboro and Sunridge. However, moving from the meadows of the creek to the higher ground beyond the big highway quickly becomes much less pleasant. The routes are winding and well endowed with traffic lights. The only specific part of my vision at this point is a 2km viaduct over the roads and warehouses of the area that allow cyclists faster travel from 21^rd street, where the pathway first becomes convoluted, to Sunridge Mall, where cyclists have the option of visiting the shopping centre or continue conveniently over the LRT tracks at 36^th Street. From that end of the viaduct, the heart of the quadrant will be easily accessible by existing bike paths and quiet streets.

The rest of my vision includes nothing else specific besides more humble upgrades to cycletracks and the promotion of the most efficient form of transportation. Most of the North East is far from the picturesque pathways that the rest of the Calgary enjoys. Perhaps that is why I see so few people peddle around over there. My theory is that a 2km viaduct with a view of downtown in front of the mountains will change that. It won’t be a beautiful natural area like Nose Hill or the River Valleys, but it will improve the peaceful passage of people to so many of their destinations and it will bring cyclists to areas that they might not have considered otherwise. It would be an excellent pandering gimmick for the woke folks. Not only is it sustainable, but it makes it easier for the diverse communities of the area to participate in low-carbon transportation. Perhaps the only danger here is the woke folks claiming that we are trying to destroy their pristine cultures by assimilation. Whatever. I think it’s a good idea because all lives matter and bicycles are the most efficient form of transportation and piss on any one what thinks otherwise because they are stupid.

Calgary to Banff by Train? Maybe that’s where it’s really at. Where else would an avid cyclist want to be after a comfortable ride west?

It is Race-War-Mongering!

There has always been room for improvement in law enforcement, but it is worth noting that today’s police commit a tiny fraction of the murders in the United States and Canada. Considering how many interactions they have dangerous, diseased drug addicts, and considering the mental illness amongst their ranks, it’s a wonder they don’t kneel on more necks.

Some cops are good. Some are evil. All are exposed to more pressure, temptation and danger than most people in most other professions and it is worth acknowledging their contribution to our elevated quality of life. Despite today’s very low homicide rate, BLM directs attention away from the aspects of their community that also have room for improvement. Whenever actors like Jussy Smollett or Floyd George have notorious encounters with fate, there are leftists lining up to raise a nasty stink about a situation that has improved dramatically over the past century.

I understand that there are still many injustices alive and strong around the world and at home, but I personally accept none of the guilt that many manipulative people expect me to feel. I am open to change (and have a few ideas of my own), but I am shameless in my appreciation of the comfort, wonder and safety we enjoy. Almost everybody in Canada and the United States today have more freedom, sanitation and opportunity than most people throughout human history. I see the vast majority of the people around me getting along and I feel no obligation to financially support anyone from a place where people are more bigoted than BLM says I am. In many countries, people are still bought and sold as slaves, women are treated as inferiors and the life is beaten out of anyone thinking outside the sectarian box. How many died in Rwanda who were more worthy of BLM’s crocodile tears. Liberals label as racist anyone who dares to direct attention away from their mangy martyrs. Some fanatics state very clearly that all white people are Nazis and our crimes completely justify their looting, shooting and burning.

Is it coincidence that you can’t spell Black Lives Matter without BLAME? BLM! It is evil genius of marketing. Black Lives Matter! A very small percentage of today’s population would disagree with such a clear, correct statement. However, this movement is thrown like a brick through windows from which thieves take TVs. It is ruining businesses and ending lives. Accusations of racism shame anyone who says that all lives matter, or anyone who expresses the slightest reservations towards the actions taken in the name of this devious double-standard.

When Jussy Smollett pretended to be attacked by white supremacists, I happened to have several hours to clean house and flip through TV news channels. For Don Lemmon, it seemed like Jussy really was on his way to pick up a late-night snack and was actually beaten up and humiliated by racists wearing MAGA hats. For hours I channel surfed, returning to CNN several times to see Don disinterested in anything else that was going on in the world. Instead, he lectured at tedious length, like a lame authority figure, about a perceived prejudice that permeates The States. He seemed mildly exasperated that people don’t understand how bigoted and backwards The USA supposedly is. He chuckled in despair and got serious with his audience over and over again. Even the scrolling and static text lamented this narrative. The real story was: an actor had faked being a victim. The reported story was: Orange Man Bad. It seemed like CNN had that time allotted to allege systematic oppression and it wasn’t going to change the script for anything, not even the truth. Those scumbags must be delighted that race riots have finally exploded.

Now that a dark-skinned actor has actually died beneath the knee of a police officer, the fake news finally has the shocking, morbid story that it has been craving. However, agitators are still required for things to get ugly because most people just don’t hate each other enough to destroy property without being mentally ill and/or paid. Someone must deposit pallets of tempting bricks in the desired areas because the vast majority of North Americans today, including the police, accept the race and sexual preference of others. The fake news media paints over the favorable reality of today’s society. It is not surprising that they painted the president as a racist even though he often appeared to take lots of pride in the low unemployment amongst African-Americans before the pandemic.

Speaking of actors, when photos of Jussy Trudeau painted in black-face surfaced, I saw nothing malicious in his behavior. It was funny when Eddy Murphy put on white-face. I suspect it was annoying when Trudeau started hamming it up a party (perhaps performing mildly amusing accents and movie quotes), but it probably didn’t hurt anyone. I learned later that Trudy did it several times, taking the time to paint his hands and legs. He also did face brown, but I don’t care. I judged him and continue to judge him on his idiotic policies rather than jump to the conclusion that his idiotic humor was meant to be insulting. BLM and their ilk jump instantly to the conclusion that our society is deeply racist down to its very core and must be fundamentally changed in a manner that they will dictate. They attack any objections as bigotry.

Meanwhile, in The People’s Republic of China, there are many people whose lives really don’t matter to the government at all. They live and die at the pleasure of the Communist Party. The perceived oppression being protested across the United States pales in comparison. Mao murdered many more than Hitler, yet SJWs have meltdowns whenever President Trump speaks, even if he expresses great optimism about inclusive prosperity in the United States. Even CNN’s most convoluted, long-winded white-power fantasy is a liberal paradise compared to shithole countries where homosexuals are thrown from rooftops and newborn girls are drown like kittens.

When Kanye West was Trump’s guest in the oval office, Criss “Fredo” Cuomo suggested that the president was “thinking racist thoughts”. That is pure speculation but let’s say its true. Let’s say Trump paid Kanye to visit and talk about positive things like love and meditation so that Orange Man can appear favorable to African-Americans? Even if Trump is a Racist down to his core, who cares if everyone has opportunity and the economy is strong? Who cares if he is an egotistical, sexist bigot if cities are safe and people are getting along? SJWs care. BLM cares.

I remember reading a quote from POTUS45 that said, “I love Hispanics”. I’m skeptical enough to wonder if the weird-looking orange billionaire with the unusual hair is being honest. It is easy to imagine such a freakish face virtue-singling to advance his agenda. With the mainstream media at war with him, it is very easy to think of him as a charlatan or antichrist. Let’s just judge him by the colour of his skin for a moment and assume that he is a liar. If Hispanics are prospering, I can live with a little virtue signaling from a closet racist. I can live with a lot of virtue signaling from almost anybody if people have food on their tables and are free to pursue happiness.

Did Hitler boast about the success of Jewish people during the 1930s? Very little, I think. Trump, on the other hand, exploits every opportunity to take at least some credit for any improvement in the lives of anybody anywhere; especially in the United States; especially with African Americans. Even if Trump is lying his face off, today’s democrats bare much more resemblance to Adolf than The Donald does.

SJWs, however, will never admit that Trump is less of a monster than they thought. I can admit that I appreciate the legalization of marijuana by a Liberal Party and a Prime Minister that I consistently find infuriating for many other reasons. I can admit that Jean Chretien and Paul Martin left Canada’s finances in reasonably decent shape. Why is the ORANGE MAN BAD mentality so stubbornly, viscously rigid and intense? Some SJWs are people that I used to know as fairly open minded. Now they are unwilling to continue a friendship with anyone whose ideas differ from theirs.

As the name “Black Lives Matter” is spoken or printed for protest, those who brandish it instantly become their enemy. They complain of “white supremacy” but adopt an overtly ethnocentric and exclusive concept to place at the tip of their spear. What hypocrites! They became their enemies the moment they demanded people to knee before their ideals.

BLaMe is the name of the game.
