FSF fights convergence

The outcome is still in doubt, but for once, the software developers are resisting the forces of convergence:

The progressive priesthood noticed the existence of another priesthood among software engineers, and vigorously attempted to converge it. Since convergence was having insufficient success, not in that the software priesthood espoused red pilled views, but that they failed to view knowledge of the latest shibboleths for sexual perversions as higher status than the latest shibboleths about software, the progressive priesthood proceeded to use more vigorous and aggressive measures, similar to those it has been using against “nazis” and “fascists”. The existence of high status shibboleths that it had not deemed high status enraged them.

To which attack, the software priesthood responded like a wet noodle. I was shocked and outraged by the feebleness and gutlessness of ESR’s limpwristed pushback when a bunch of sockpuppets in his comments section set to doing to some other man in the free software movement what had earlier been done to ESR.

The Software Priesthood is still saying “we are progressives too”, but this has not been working for them. The only thing that is going to work is identifying and purging the enemy. And since they made no attempt to identify and purge the enemy, I figured that they were a lost cause.

Well, the Software Priesthood are showing signs of life. And the enemy is becoming more visible and distinct as the enemy, shedding its “hail fellow engineer” disguise. The enemy just does not like Western Civilization, nor any of the things that Western Civilization in its greatness created, because what Western Civilization in its greatness created makes their mascots look like plains apes.

This may well turn out to be merely another Comicsgate, which was rapidly conquered by enemy entryists, but the people running the entryists against Comicsgate were smarter than the fans. They are nowhere near as smart as the people they have been purging from the Free Software movement. We shall see what happens.

One thing I’ve noticed is that most of the tough-talking libertarians fold like paper napkins soaked in batter acid in the face of SJW attack. But now that the big-talking weak sisters have been exposed as useless surrender monkeys, people are beginning to understand that they need to find the will to resist the infiltration and convergence on their own.  

The media discovers 2033

Laura Ingraham talked to a historian about the coming breakup of the USA on Fox:

Ingraham: Historian Craig Shirley writes our country is in a vicious toxic relationship with itself. Like any toxic relationship, the only inevitable eventuality is that it will mercifully end with breakup. I don’t see any sort of viable path forward at the rate we’re going. Author and historian Craig Shirley joins me now. Is there really no path in your mind to reconciliation?
Shirley: No, I don’t think so, Laura. Look, we had national glue in the past to hold us together as a nation. We had Manifest Destiny, the Great Depression, we had wars and other activities. Covid should have been the national glue holding us together but it wasn’t. In fact, it drove us further apart. You saw states arguing with states, and states arguing with the national government about how to proceed, how to distribute vaccines. No, I don’t see any choice going forward. It may be a natural thing. Like a Brexit only in the United States, where states, blue states and red states, separate and have some type of friendly trading relationship or friendly transportation relationship, but they are all self-governed. Which is really what the founders intended in the first place.

Demographics is destiny. The dirt is not magic. The civnats have inverted reality and their basic concept entirely backwards: Mexicans are not people who happen to live inside lines on a map called Mexico, Mexico is where Mexicans live. The breakup of the USA is already inevitable and it has been since 1965. But now the concept is being normalized. 

Therefore, it’s time to make sure you’re on the right side of the borders-to-be.

The wicked foundations of Clown World

Clown World is built upon a series of intellectual pillars that range from Darwin, Diderot, and Freud to Einstein, Keynes, and Foucault. The first thing that rapidly becomes apparent when one regards them as a set is first, that they are all frauds. The second thing one realizes is what a collection of seriously evil sexual deviants they tend to be:

A French-American professor has accused fellow intellectual Michel Foucault of being a “paedophile rapist”, a report by The Sunday Times said.

In an interview, Guy Sorman said he found out about Foucault’s behaviour after visiting the late philosopher in Tunisia where he was living in 1969.

“Young children were running after Foucault saying ‘what about me? take me, take me’,” he said to The Sunday Times. “They were eight, nine, ten years old. He was throwing money at them and would say ‘let’s meet at 10pm at the usual place’. He would make love there on the gravestones with young boys. The question of consent wasn’t even raised.”

Sorman argued that Foucault was able to get away with this because of the racial element of his affairs.

“Foucault would not have dared to do it in France… There is a colonial dimension to this. A white imperialism,” Sorman said.

In the interview Sorman said he “regrets” not reporting this “extremely morally ugly” behaviour to the police. He added that the press had been aware of Foucault’s conduct but were reluctant to publish stories due to his status as France’s “philosopher king” alike to that of a “god”.

The philosopher who died in 1984 signed a petition in 1977, which sought to legalise sexual relations with children aged 13 or above.

Don’t be misled. Whatever aspect of Clown World rhetoric happens appeals to you, be it free trade, freedom of expression, libertarianism, judeo-christianity, equality, tolerance, or respect, it’s really all about pedos and human sacrifice. It’s literally all designed to lead there in the end.

The death of Jesus

From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”

Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”

– Matthew 27:45-54

MLB cuts its own throat

Apparently seeing how the NBA ratings have cratered, Major League Baseball has decided that it needs to follow suit and go after that sweet, succulent Social Justice demographic:

Major League Baseball announced Friday that it is moving the 2021 All-Star Game and 2021 draft out of Atlanta in protest of a new Georgia law that has raised concerns about its potential to disproportionately disenfranchise minority voters.

In a statement, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said the league is “finalizing a new host city and details about these events will be announced shortly.”

A source told ESPN that the All-Star Game is still planned for Los Angeles in 2022 and won’t be moved up to fill the void this summer.

“Over the last week, we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with Clubs, former and current players, the Players Association, and The Players Alliance, among others, to listen to their views,” Manfred said as part of his statement. “I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft.

I’d like to say that I’m going to boycott baseball to express my contempt for MLB’s convergence, but unfortunately, I haven’t seen a baseball game since 1991. 

The Olympics have embraced social justice too, but that’s practically redundant.

The Tsar grows weary of the drama

Russia sends a clear message to the neoclowns: whatever you start in the Ukraine, we will finish:

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday that any attempts to start a new military conflict in Ukraine’s war-torn east could end up destroying Ukraine, the TASS news agency reported.

Translation: Knock it off, neoclowns, or we’ll take the whole of the Ukraine, even though we don’t want it. 

Taking the Filth Factory public

Or at least they’re going to try. Patreon’s lawyers are now running around making ludicrous threats about how they are going to overturn California’s consumer protection laws, Patreon’s own Terms of Use, and the JAMS arbitration rules by shrieking very loudly about how unfair it is for Patreon’s users to make it live up to the terms of its own contract. It’s a bold move, Cotton, and it’s obviously inspired by Patreon’s hope to go public before the markets crash.

When is the Patreon IPO date?

The official date for the Patreon IPO has yet to be announced, but it will become public information once Patreon publicizes their paperwork with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). As of February, they maintained a confidential filing to keep investors out of the loop for as long as possible. While it sounds malicious, it’s quite common—particularly during an era of extreme unpredictability in the market and economy alike. 

What investors need to know ahead of the Patreon IPO 

Regardless of what method the company uses to get to market, investors ought to act with caution and ensure they do adequate research before putting money into any company or security. This is called doing your due diligence, and it is truly up to every individual investor to do so.

While a direct listing may seem “easier” to access for retail investors when compared to a traditional IPO, that doesn’t mean that it makes it a guaranteed better investment than other companies.

In regards to Patreon, the platform has seen extensive growth over the past years, and has brought on plenty of new talent to the platform as well. Their loyalty lies with the content creators that call Patreon home, as evidenced by their recent hire of Joe Budden as head of creator equity. In this role, Budden will act as a liaison of sorts between the platform and creators. It shows that Patreon is committed to a just corporate structure that benefits their creators rather than solely uplifting the executive chairs.

You might be wondering what the difference between Patreon and a GoFundMe-type platform is. Honestly, it’s a valid question whether or not you’re an investor. 

Patreon’s market niche lies within their offering of month-to-month subscription services, much like a cable television subscription or other monthly subscription boxes that have gained in popularity as of late. Whereas a GoFundMe centers largely around a one-time donation, Patreon gives fans the opportunity to receive exclusive content for a monthly premium. Exclusive, a word that is usually just for show, holds substantial value on Patreon. 

Creators post content that their fans won’t be able to find anywhere else, things like exclusive podcast episodes, tutorials, or access to merchandise. This adds another layer to Patreon’s appeal for both creators and fans alike. 

Investors would have to be totally crazy to buy into Patreon’s IPO, especially at the obvious peak of the financial bubble. A lot of that “content that their fans won’t be able to find anywhere else” is adult content that very often crosses the line into illegal content. As of March 31, 24 percent of Patreon’s revenue is derived from NSFW content, more than half of which is NSFW games, comics, and animation. These NSFW games are some of Patreon’s top creators, bringing in as much as $98,500 in monthly revenue while blatantly violating the fake “zero tolerance” policy that supposedly bans “rape, incest, and bestiality”.

Patreon would be a horrible investment, because as soon as the big payment processors take 10 seconds to look at how Patreon put on their little “oh, we’re totally cleaning things up now, yessiree” performance, they’ll see right through the charade. At the end of 2017, when the crackdown supposedly took place, Patreon had under 20,000 NSFW creators bringing in an estimated $2.5 million in monthly revenue. At the end of March 31, 2021, Patreon had 43,761 NSFW creators bringing in an estimated $6 million in revenue. Some crackdown.

In other words, a not-inconsiderable portion of the exclusive content they are advertising can’t be found anywhere else can’t be found anywhere else because it is illegal. And the very worst stuff is what brings in the most money. Innocuous-sounding “games” like “Summertime Saga” and “Wild Life” go well beyond what you likely imagine NSFW game content to be, while other more openly dire creations are even worse than they sound. We’re not talking about Grand Theft Auto or Doom here, and despite being less than one-tenth of the NSFW creators, these obscene so-called games bring in about one-third of the aforementioned $6 million every month for the Filth Factory.

In addition to attempting to keep the full extent of their NSFW content under wraps, the reason Patreon is attempting to keep investors out of the loop is because the Filth Factory doesn’t want to let them know how much investor money has been blown on totally unnecessary litigation expenses, which based on the lawyer’s rants could already be rapidly approaching their entire annual net revenue for 2020. Now, imagine what would have happened if Sargon and all the others who were deplatformed had decided to stand up for their rights for once rather than whining and crying on the sympathy circuit.

Patreon wrongly thought that the Bears were afraid of court and tried to use it to get them out of arbitration. Now they’re doing precisely the opposite by trying to keep the Bears in arbitration, out of court, and off the public record. If you think about it, it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out their motivation.

Corporate communism

Clay Travis is right… although the literal Communists in China actually permit more freedom of expression than the converged US tech corporations do:

Facebook? Or communist China? You tell us the difference. Because anymore, it’s hard to tell if there is one — especially after Facebook refused to allow Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law to post an interview with the former president.

That’s right. Lara Trump wanted to post something to Facebook. The social media giant said no. And its lone reason was entirely based on the fact the post involved Donald Trump.

“This is outlandish,” said OutKick founder Clay Travis. “And it’s crazy to me how many members of the blue-checkmark brigade are cheering blatant censorship. What’s happened in America — and I don’t think most people have recognized this, or it certainly hasn’t been talked about in a big way — is that China has the Great Wall of China for the Internet, right? They filter what people in China are able to see, the government does, in an effort to promote nationalism and respect for their country.”

In other words, China does not have a “free and open” Internet, Clay adds. And guess what? Neither does Big Tech in America.

The problem is that “free and open”, which is a form of “freedom of expression” was always a lie put forth by the 19th century Prometheans who wanted to blaspheme against Jesus Christ and the living God. One doesn’t need “freedom of thought”, one literally has complete freedom of thought.

Expression and speech, on the other hand, have always been restricted. That’s why we have concepts such as “blasphemy”, “slander”, and “lese majeste“. The only thing that has changed is a) who is doing the restricting and b) what they are restricting. And since the wicked are now making the rules, what they are restricting is the truth.

The cucks cry

Perhaps if elected Republicans had ever done a single damn thing to fight the growth of Cancel Culture instead of desperately reassuring everyone that they love blacks, Jews, and foreigners more than their own children, one might be inclined to feel a modicum of sympathy for two Georgia state legislators who lost their jobs due to “a series of tweets” by the sexual predators at The Lincoln Project.

Last week, in a span of 24 hours, my reputation and business were destroyed by a series of tweets in which The Lincoln Project knowingly lied about me. Among other things, they falsely accused me of trying to “suppress voters and people” in several tweets that also tagged my employer and several of its well-known clients. The goal was to cancel me and inflict as much harm as possible, and they succeeded. Unfortunately, disgusting tactics like these are becoming the norm and the truth does not seem to matter anymore.

The truth is that I co-sponsored and voted for bi-partisan Georgia Senate Bill 62, which provides ballots in the state of Georgia to have a watermark, seal, and other security elements to include the precinct number—which are best practices. I did not sponsor or vote in favor of other recent bills in Georgia that sought to limit no excuse absentee balloting and reduce weekend voting. As a matter of fact, some groups attacked me for not supporting these other measures. My record is crystal clear. I believe voting is a sacred right and should be available, transparent, and secure for all citizens. I am proud of my work in this area.

The fact that I serve in elected office does not justify what happened to me. I am also a husband and father, as well as a source of income for my family and many other people who worked for me in the private sector. In Georgia, we are a citizen’s legislature and considered part-time. I do not earn my living serving as a state Senator. In fact, I donated my $17,000 a year salary to charity. I earned a living in business. I worked with incredible people, built a great team, and we were very successful.

Even though The Lincoln Project is plagued by well-publicized allegations of sexual harassment and financial impropriety that have been covered by almost every major media outlet, its “words matter” and have had devastating consequences. Because of their tweets, I have already been falsely labeled, lost my job, and received threats against my entire family.

Even after being successfully canceled, conservatives still don’t learn. They would rather cry about “disgusting tactics” to the enemy media rather than author a fucking law to do something about it. But those “disgusting tactics” are not becoming the norm, they are the norm. They were becoming the norm back in 2005 when people like me were being attacked by the SFWA and the ADL, with the full approval of conservatives who were more than happy to distance themselves from “extremists” and “nationalists” and “supremacists”.

Don’t ever support a conservative. There is absolutely no point in doing so. They don’t fight. They will never fight, not even when their backs are up against the wall. They permitted the weaponization of social media by making the technology companies legally unaccountable under Section 230 and their own literally blasphemous free speech dogma.

I see that people sometimes wonder why the Left keeps pushing its agenda when so many conservative Americans are armed.

It’s because they know perfectly well that all those conservatives are ever going to do is issue dire warnings and wag their fingers about the possibility that someone else is eventually going to do something about it.

He’s not wrong

He’s just operating on the surface level. Scott Adams points out that Social Justice has a body count:

I’m just going to say it:

If CDC guidelines had told us to socially distance from obese people over the age of fifty, the pandemic would already be over.

Because math.

And they fucking knew it.

But they couldn’t say it.

Wokeness probably killed 200,000 people.

It’s almost certainly worse than that, if one takes the rising suicide rate into account. As much as I personally love the lockdowns, they are lethal for both people and local economies.
