Swedish SJWs double down

SAS is a Scandinavian airline that brings travelers to, from and within Scandinavia, and we stand behind the message in the film that travel enriches us. We are proud of our Scandinavian heritage. It is part of SAS’ DNA and the foundation for our existence. We are now continuing the planned campaign by publishing a shorter and clearer version.

When we travel, we influence our surroundings and we are influenced by others. The experiences we bring back from our travels inspire us as individuals, but also our society.

It is regrettable that the film is misunderstood, that some choose to interpret the message and use it for their own purpose.

The pattern in the comment sections and the volume of reactions in SAS’ social media channels suggest that the campaign was subject to an attack. We cannot accept being a platform for values that we do not share. Consequently, we decided to unpublish the film in our own channels and we have now evaluated the situation.

We are now continuing the planned campaign and we hope that it emphasizes the core message that travel enriches us.

Part of their DNA? Did they really chose THAT, of all things, as the analogy with which to defend their racial nonsense? At this ever-accelerating rate, Anders Breivik will be declared a saint before the century even reaches its midpoint.

I blame galactic warming

It should be interesting to see how the globalists attempt to make use of the possibility that Betelgeuse will go supernova in the near-future:

Betelgeuse is a gigantic red supergiant star that was the 10th brightest star in the sky as recently as 2019. But over the past few months it has dimmed so dramatically it’s now ranked 24th, and it has astronomers wondering if it might be ready to burst in a spectacular supernova explosion.

Edward Guinan and other astronomers from Villanova University shared a brief update on Betelgeuse over the weekend, reporting it’s now about one full magnitude fainter than it was in September. Magnitude is the scale of brightness astronomers assign to objects in the night sky. Put another way, this change in scale means that Betelgeuse was about 2.5 times brighter in September than it is right now.

“The most recent photometric observations indicate that Betelgeuse is currently the least luminous and coolest yet measured from our 25 years of photometry,” the astronomers write.

It should be amusing to hear the Gretard ranting about how everyone ruined her childhood, her dreams, and her night sky.

The lawfare revolution grows

Mike Cernovich explains the legal mire into which Patreon and other thought policing platforms have plunged headlong:

Patreon has lost several high profile creators including Sam Harris, Dave Rubin, and Jordan Peterson due to Patreon’s decision to begin censoring creators for ideological reasons.

The belief is that Patreon can ban anyone they want to. Is this true under California law?

“Private companies can do whatever they want,” is an old canard repeated by people who aren’t lawyers or aren’t very good lawyers. But a new legal remedy is available under California’s arbitration law, especially with the adoption of SB-707.

There’s an economic relationship between Creators and their Backers. Patreon, by banning a Creator, disrupts the economic relationship between Creator and Backer. In legal terms this is called tortious interference with a business relationship.

Backers can demand to have the disruption of this relationship sent to arbitration.

Patreon, under California law, must pay the arbitration fees in advance. These fees can be upward of $10,000 per case. If 500 backers demanded arbitration, Patreon would need to put up five million dollars in advance in filing fees alone. Legal fees will ramp those fees up by a factor of ten.

And judges are enforcing the law strictly.

Read the whole thing. The situation he’s describing doesn’t merely apply to Patreon, it applies to every tech company that has a business that depends upon matching two parties together without taking responsibility for the performance of either party.

It’s time to panic

If you’re a Democrat, anyhow, because Donald Trump is going to be re-elected in 2020:

On Monday’s Morning Joe, MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough revealed that he has been inundated with “panicked calls” from Democrats terrified by the prospect of President Trump winning reelection due to the weak 2020 Democratic field. He recalled desperate liberal voters asking him, “Joe, what do we do?”

“Since Iowa, we’ve all got the phone calls. We’ve all talked to the voters. They are very concerned with the current field right now,” Scarborough noted as the show broadcasted live from New Hampshire, ahead of Tuesday’s Democratic primary. He then recounted all the nervous Democrats who have contacted him: “I can tell you, a lot of panicked calls this week….A lot of panicked calls and emails and texts…”

Scarborough described the calls: “I got panic, ‘Joe, what do we do? What are we going to do? This is – we’re in desperate straits. What’s going to happen? Are we going to win?’” He concluded: “There is just this fear that among the current crop of candidates, there’s a fear that there may not be the ability to take down Donald Trump.”

Co-host Willie Geist vouched to having similar conversations with worried Democrats: “Yeah, you hear it time and again. I heard it a lot last week. Particularly because of what happened in Iowa, which looked like a big mess to Democrats. But also because the President was acquitted on impeachment…”

What you do is give in to your despair and acknowledge the continuing rule of the god-emperor. The Trumpslide cometh!

Sanders wins New Hampshire

Bernie Sanders wins and all of Biden’s support goes to Klobuchar.

Conclusions: Biden is definitely out. He can’t win. Warren is probably out. She needed to be in third, especially given that she is a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts. Buttigieg is the Deep State candidate and Klobuchar is the DNC candidate.

Bloomberg, meanwhile, just lost the entire black vote and a good portion of the white liberal vote. He was never a serious candidate anyhow, but even his money won’t save him now. He’s as done as Kamala Harris was when Tulsi Gabbard called her out for prosecuting black criminals. So, the question appears to be, will the Democratic establishment go down in flames with Bernie or will they divide the party by pushing Klobuchar as the candidate.

Of course, no matter what they do, it just spells TRUMPSLIDE 2020.

UPDATE: Andrew Yang has ended his bid for the presidency.

A District Court decision

This is interesting, to be sure.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup on Monday ordered DoorDash to individually arbitrate employment misclassification claims brought by more than 5,000 couriers, denying its request to pause the proceedings and slamming the company’s “hypocrisy” in requiring workers to sign arbitration and then seeking classwide litigation.

Perhaps someone should send this article to Patreon:

Rejecting claims that the legal process it forced on workers is unfair, a federal judge Monday ordered food-delivery service DoorDash to pay $9.5 million in arbitration fees for 5,010 delivery drivers’ labor demands against the company.

“You’re going to pay that money,” U.S. District Judge William Alsup said in court. “You don’t want to pay millions of dollars, but that’s what you bargained to do and you’re going to do it.”

Barred from filing labor suits in court under the terms of a required arbitration contract, 6,250 DoorDash drivers brought their claims to an arbitrator. Last fall, the American Arbitration Association found each worker met the minimum requirements for filing a claim and ordered DoorDash to pay $12 million in fees. The workers paid $1.2 million in filing fees, or $300 per case.

DoorDash refused to pay its share of fees, arguing the workers failed to specify how much money they were seeking or prove they had a valid arbitration deal with the company.

Another informative article on the subject can be found here. Notice how all of the companies that force arbitration on their employees and consumers in order to avoid class action lawsuits are desperate to avoid actually entering arbitration with them. They’re trying to have their legal cake and eat it too.

Too stupid to maintain a car

And yet conservatives and civic nationalists expect non-Europeans to be able to maintain European civilization when they can’t even keep their cars in working order:

Minneapolis police officers will no longer ticket motorists for broken headlights or turn signals, instead handing out vouchers to pay for vehicle repairs under a new department policy unveiled Wednesday.

The changes come roughly a year after a pitched debate at City Hall over a possible moratorium on certain traffic stops, with some council members seeing the move as a way to ease the racial disparities in rates of traffic stops. Others worried that it would only harm residents in poorer neighborhoods, where gun violence is prevalent. That debate came weeks after a community forum where residents aired their frustrations with what they saw as years of harassment and discrimination at the hands of police.

At the time, police Chief Medaria Arradondo said he would study the issue, and in the months since has been meeting with senior staffers, crime analysts and community leaders to hear their advice on what to do to revamp the policy without endangering public safety.

Under the new policy, instead of writing a ticket, officers will now have the option of issuing drivers a voucher from the Lights On! program — financed by the nonprofit group MicroGrants, which partners with local organizations to promote economic self-sufficiency among lower income residents, according to its website. The vouchers can be redeemed at participating auto shops to cover the costs of services such as replacing a bulb from a rear taillight. Exceptions include cases in which equipment violations result in a crash or “harm to another,” according to the new guidelines.

If, at this point, you still believe in equality, of any sort, you’re a) an idiot and b) are not intelligent enough to be reading this blog. The fact that European civilization requires Europeans to maintain it is not merely a truth, it is a freaking tautology.

A white individual is no more capable of maintaining Chinese or Venusian society than a black individual is capable of maintaining American society. And yet, most Americans have been conditioned to believe that their historically unique society can be sustained and maintained by literally anyone with a pulse.

The end of empire

The Philippines, led by their indomitable President Duterte, have terminated their special relationship with the U.S. military:

Relations between two traditional allies have reached a new low after Manila warned the US that it is ending an agreement that allows American troops to set foot on the Philippines soil. Manila sent formal notice to the US embassy on Tuesday that it is terminating the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA).

President Rodrigo Duterte’s spokesperson Salvador Panelo said it was done in order to be independent from Washington in military affairs.

It’s about time we rely on ourselves, we will strengthen our own defenses and not rely on any other country.

Panelo told reporters that the nation is open to signing VFAs with other countries as long as they are “mutually beneficial, not one-sided.”

Signed in 1998, the VFA regulates the entry of US warships, aircraft and soldiers into the Philippines. It also allows US troops to be immune from prosecution by local authorities for some crimes committed on the Philippines soil.

Whether Americans like to admit it or not, their government did establish a global military empire that violates the sovereignty of dozens of occupied countries. The fact that it is a self-serving empire and not the “defense against godless communism” that the empire is still sold as is obvious, given that the danger against which it purports to defend most of these countries has not existed since 1989.

It’s good to see countries like the Philippines pushing back against imperial Washington DC. Americans should do the same.

Dostoevsky knew the Gamma

From The Brothers Karamazov:

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself. The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than any one. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn’t it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill–he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it, and so pass to genuine vindictiveness.”

This pleasure in taking offense and revelling in resentment explains the way in which anklebiters will continue their delusional hate campaigns for years. The hatred they feel is not only justified by the imaginary offenses of those they hate, it gives a perverse pleasure to them. This is why it is totally pointless to respond to their demands or even to pay any attention to them, as it is the taking offense that is the entire point of the exercise for them. Once the nominal issue is successfully addressed, they will simply move the goal posts and take offense at something else, in order to keep feeding their emotional addiction.

Nationalism keeps rising

It’s not about Left and Right anymore. It’s about not being a part of the neo-liberal global establishment:

Shock election results in Germany and Ireland are signs of a political earthquake that rumbles on across Europe and with more polls penned in for this year, the voter upsets will roll on much to the dismay of the establishment.

The political tremors rumble on in Germany after the main governing party lost its leader and future chancellor Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer amid the self-flagellation of an AfD-assisted win for the CDU in a regional German vote.

Elsewhere, Ireland’s general election resulted in the previously unthought of scenario of Sinn Féin (which started its life as the political wing of the paramilitary IRA) topping the poll.

Both incidents are part of a massive seismic shift that has hit politics in the Western world and shows no sign of easing, and while the career politicians and their pals sit around and scratch their heads, puzzling over what went wrong and why they didn’t see it, they fail to acknowledge one simple truth that every voter knows.

The problem is them.

It’s interesting to observe that governments that were for decades considered to be bad and unrepresentational are now much more popular, and much more trusted by their people, than the nominally “free” governments of the so-called democratic West.

But people have learned that their foreign-dominated governments simply don’t have their best interests in mind, in fact, they don’t have any interests in common with the people at all. This is why the wars of the 21st century are very likely going to be far more vicious than the wars of the 20th century, and why many, if not most, of them will be fought within the borders of the state.
