They TRIED to do That

An absurd ex post facto explanation for the Bud Light marketing fiasco that naturally appeals to Smart Boys has been making the rounds:

Bud Light’s controversial partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney could have been a “strategic” attempt to permanently alter the brand’s audience, according to an anonymous former employee.

The popular beer brand came under fire in April after a post from Mulvaney’s Instagram account featured a personalized Bud Light can. The backlash to the brand in response to partnering with the transgender figure led to a massive slump in sales.

Though the company’s CEO insisted in a statement that it “never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” the ex-Anheuser-Busch worker suggested that the move was intentional.

“[Employees] expressed the fact that they were shocked. ‘Why would they do this? What were they thinking?’ Especially now. This is the worst; it’s like the worst time yet, the best timing yet if a company were trying to change the way it operates from a corporate level. And that’s just my opinion,” he said to OutKick’s Tomi Lahren, “Many of us are talking about that like they planned it in a way…like a strategic destruction of Bud Light.”

This has been spreading around social media courtesy of the dumber sort of conservatives and conspiracy theorists. It’s one thing to reject the mainstream narrative on the very sound grounds that a) the observable facts don’t support the narrative and b) the media always lies. Always be suspicious of any explanation that depends upon a motivation.

Since Smart Boys habitually claim retroactive intent for their stumblings and bumblings, and since they love to see things that everyone else doesn’t, especially things that aren’t there, it’s no surprise that the explanation appeals to them. They would LOVE to explain the REAL reason Bud Light’s marketing team immolated its own product, which of course couldn’t possibly be related to the reason the entire game, book, and movie industries have been doing the same.

After all, wouldn’t exactly the same motivation account for THE RINGS OF POWER? The strategic destruction of Amazon Studios!

To accept a substitute motivation for what has been the observable motivation of the corpocracy for the last decade on the basis of a suggested possibility that is the opinion of an uninformed former employee borders on the retarded. Especially when that “they MEANT to do that” motivation very usefully absolves the SJWs of their responsibility for the failure, thereby encouraging other SJWs in other corporations to continue metastasizing their cancers.

Come to think of it, perhaps we should be encouraging the Smart Boys here after all…

UPDATE: Heckuva plan, Brendan!

Sales are down, A-B’s stock price is getting crushed and CEO Brendan Whitworth is planning a tour across America to save the brand. Now, Anheuser-Busch is also writing checks to Bud Light distributors losing business, according to Beer Business Daily. Some distributors will be paid $.20 to $.50 per case depending on how bad sales have fallen, according to the report. Anheuser-Busch will also pick up the tab for any fuel and freight surcharges.

As for Vox Day, he has already lost that argument, which is why he is so angry. Trying to desperately to engage me, but I couldn’t care less. My real numbers dwarf his. Nobody gives a shit what he thinks about anything and he knows it.

Gamma Correction

VD: Jesus Christ was no more a refugee than a guy who moves from California to New Mexico is. He moved with his parents from one Roman province to another one.

SMART BOY ON GAB: Curious, I don’t recall Egypt being under Roman control during that time period.

VD: Egypt was formally incorporated into the Roman Empire as a province 27 years before Jesus Christ was born by Augustus Caesar.

“I added Egypt to the empire of the Roman people.” With these words the emperor Augustus summarized the subjection of Cleopatra’s kingdom in the great inscription that records his achievements. The province was to be governed by a viceroy, a prefect with the status of a Roman knight who was directly responsible to the emperor. The first viceroy was the Roman poet and soldier Gaius Cornelius Gallus.

Silver Lining

I’m glad Gab exists. It serves a very useful purpose. But there are a LOT of literal retards on social media.

VD: “A man in Arizona admitted to possessing child pornography during the interview process for a position with the El Mirage Police Department.”

Following the disclosure, he was offered the position of police chief.

GAMMA: Total malarkey. The man was arrested, not offered a position of police chief. Here’s an article on the story from the New York Post.

This sort of thing is why I’m not quite entirely unsympathetic to the globalist notion of offering lethal poison to every moron gullible enough to trust the science and inject it into his body because credentials. Yes, it’s awful, horrific, evil, and satanic, no question, but I do think it’s important to remember that it will pretty much kill off the self-appointed reality police.

Silver linings, my friends. Silver linings.

Mailvox: Read Your Own Book

A reader observes that Scott Adams failed to listen to his own advice when he trusted the experts and got vaxxed:

In Scott’s book, How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, chapter 28 “Experts”, Scott shares a story of when a medical doctor was wrong about diagnosing Scott with cancer at age 20. He then goes on to tell people that when things are complicated, experts are wrong half of the time. Scott advises the best thing to do is trust your own intuition.

This is the very advice Scott is now condeming. People following their intuition using pattern recognition, the subject of chapter 22 in the same book.

Scott should have read his own book.

Indeed.

We Explained. You Didn’t Listen

Scott Adams is now attempting to claim that no one who knew the vaxx would be harmful is willing to explain to him how they knew.

But we’ve been explaining our reasoning all along. Scott’s problem is that he refused to listen to anyone who isn’t mainstream-approved, which guaranteed that the only people who knew how bad the vaxx was to whom he would listen were the people who were strongly incentivized to lie to him about it.

I’ve repeatedly explained why I knew the vaxx was inimical to human health before it was available to anyone.

  • The fact that its primary advocates were global depopulationists.
  • The fact that its manufacturers were not liable for adverse effects.
  • The fact professional scientific procedures were not followed.
  • The fact that it was not necessary.
  • The history of past mRNA technology failures.

I even said, at the time the vaccines were first being rolled out, that one would have to be either old and very sick or insane to take the risk of getting vaccinated.

“You’d have to be crazy to roll the dice with these vaccines rather than the virus if you’re not an obese 68-year old black man with asthma. If you’re old and in a high-risk group with comorbidities, sure, take your chances with the shots. Otherwise, it makes no sense. The complete inability of people to grasp the probabilities involved would be depressing if one wasn’t already aware how retarded they are on average.”

Vox Day, 10 February 2021

I also pointed out that getting boosted never made any sense for anyone at all.

“This isn’t the Mark of the Beast. It’s the Mark of the Retarded.”

Vox Day, 25 September 2021

If I recall correctly, I was warning people to avoid the Covid vaccines long before they were even announced. So, Scott’s pretense that people who knew better won’t explain how they knew isn’t true, except, of course, for the people who are responsible for knowingly doing this to hundreds of millions of people. I trust he can figure out why they’re not coming clean anytime soon.

UPDATE: He really is retarded. Or perhaps just vaxx-damaged.

One thing I learned during the pandemic is to ignore the lying experts and rely on people such as this anonymous stranger.

How stupid do you have to be to fail to recognize that the experts are lying more often than not these days? They’re literally professional liars who are paid very well to lie. Are you still eating four servings of bread and potatoes every day, Scotty?

Germany Declares War on Russia

UPDATE: This isn’t an exaggeration. While it is an informal declaration of war, it is a material one by the relevant government minister that will be taken at face value by Russia, whether the moronic woman realizes it or not.

I have said already in the last days, we have to do more on Ukraine. Yes, we have to do more on tanks. But the most important part, and the crucial part, is that we do it together and that we do not do the blame game in Europe, because we are fighting a war against Russia and not against each other.

– Annalena Baerbock, Foreign Minister, Federal Republic of Germany, 25 January 2023

The German politicians caved, presumably after being shown their blackmail files, and agreed to formally take part in the NATO war against Russia by sending German tanks to Ukraine. The Russians have made it very clear that a) they are not fooled and b) there will be consequences for Germany getting directly involved in the war in Ukraine.

Russia branded the move a ‘blatant provocation’, with Moscow officials warning the new Nato supplies will ‘burn like all the rest’, while one raging Putin mouthpiece called for the German parliament to be destroyed.

Around 30 M1 Abrams tanks will be sent from the US, while Berlin will initially supply 14 Leopard 2 tanks and permit other Nato nations to send their own. Russian storage facilities have around 10,200 tanks, while an estimated 3,300 have been deployed in Ukraine, with 1,640 destroyed.

Volodymyr Zelensky’s officials hailed the move as a ‘punching fist’ for democracy, while Russia had warned it would cause a ‘global catastrophe’ and escalate the war beyond Ukraine’s borders.

Today, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: ‘I am certain that many experts understand the absurdity of this idea. The plan is disastrous in terms of technology,’ he said.

‘But above all, it overestimates the potential it will add to the Ukrainian army. These tanks burn just like all the others.’

Yevgeny Satanovsky, president of the Moscow Institute of the Middle East, told Waldman-LINE channel that nuclear tipped missiles should be used on the centre of German democracy.

He said: ‘German tanks with crosses on their armour will again march across Ukraine attacking Russian soldiers. I have a natural reaction to this – the Soviet Union bombed Berlin in 1941. And to me this is a signal that the Reichstag, or Bundestag, which now replaces the Reichstag, simply should not remain standing any longer. Flat, slightly radioactive, melted-down ground [will remain in its place].’

Meanwhile Putin’s favourite propagandist Vladimir Solovyov also ranted over the tank move which he plainly sees as a significant blow to Putin while also being proof in Russian eyes that Germany has directly joined the war.

‘It’s time to send a clear, resolute message that we now consider Germany a direct party to the conflict, rekindling memories of WW2. German tanks appearing will definitely mean we consider German territory, military bases and other sites as legitimate targets. NATO wants to fight in this cunning way, pretending that it’s not fighting.’

At this point, it’s fairly obvious that the Trotskyite Clown Worlders now ensconced in the USA are primarily waging war against Europeans by forcing Russians to kill them. The NATO-Russian war is something of a Xanatos Gambit; while Clown World hoped to use Ukraine and NATO to defeat Russia, their primary enemy, they’ll happily settle for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, Poles, and Germans, all of whom they hate nearly as much as they hate the Russians.

But while the Europeans haven’t figured this out yet because they’re all post-Christians steeped to their eyeballs in Clown World propaganda, the Russians, the Chinese, and most of all, the Arab world are very well aware of who is responsible. Which means that it may not just be government buildings in Germany that experience hypersonic missile attention when the Russians launch their offensive.

As with how the Gamma male who hides behind redefinitions and contorted reasoning to disguise his attacks on others is educated by a punch in the face, it appears the Germans are soon going to be administered an important lesson in how word magic is no defense against material reality.

Scott Adams is a Sore Loser

It’s hardly a surprise that Scott Adams is “taking the L” ungraciously. He still can’t admit that those who chose to remain unvaccinated did so on the basis of accurately assessing the available information and reaching the correct logical conclusion. This is grade-A Gamma secret kinging.

Scott Adams@ScottAdamsSays
I bow to your data-free analysis. You win.

His Twitter followers aren’t buying it. As they shouldn’t.

  • On data… early on, we had to look at mechanisms and examples – because of no data. Mechanism… Vit D, immune support. Examples: past mRNA woes. Now we have data but don’t know what to trust.
  • We had lots of data Scott. We knew the ‘vaccine’ was in clinical trials till 2023. We knew covid deaths included any cause with 28 days. We knew covid was only impacting sick or old. We knew ‘face coverings’ useless. You had access to the above too. What went wrong?
  • Gut instincts & experience are never to be relied upon, only ‘science’ provided by people who have a financial stake in that ‘science’ or a political motivation to control people.
  • Absence of safety data is self-sufficient reason not to take risk. It’s logical to evaluate risk before you take it. Then you had many different ways to find out why risk not worth to take.
  • Answering this question doesn’t require accurate data on the safety of the vaccine vs catching COVID. Experts who said “yes” told me they weren’t motivated by saving lives or telling the truth, & could be ignored. Then I was unsurprised to learn they mostly lied elsewhere.
  • I worked with PCR. I understood the science behind it. When the gov/Pharma/MSM all supported PCR at high cycles, ignoring solid, factual science…where were your analytics? We knew the data, the science, & analyzed what was happening, coming to the conclusion the PCR was invalid.
  • I think I can give everyone some indicators. When the same people pushing CRT, wars, & drag shows to little children say get vaccinated, it is a clue. When the fed gov exempts themselves from something, it is a clue. When there is 24/7 propaganda, the opposite is most likely true.
  • How did you analyze mRNA? When the gov changed the definition for “vaccine” they ignored all the science. How did you analyze those two things together? My analysis of previous science & experience in science allowed me to come to the conclusion that the Covid shots would be bad.
  • There was a lot of data analysis to use. We weren’t lucky. We used solid, factual, science based truths to come to logical conclusions. Our analysis was good. Hopefully, you’ll take a longer look at your own basis of analysis and find what went wrong.
  • They came up with a “vaccine” in 6 months for a Corona virus-something we never have had before. Then they started forcing people to take it(2 flags).The same govt & “science” that want us to eat bugs and get rid of our gas stoves (3 flags). They also masked little kids-4 flags
  • Lack of data is a MAJOR piece of data… I still cannot believe that it wasn’t mandatory to see the clinical trial data before roll out to expedite peer review and to prove transparency…
  • A healthy distrust of government and big pharma was all the early analysis that was needed. I am willing to wait for data to analyze, absent data the default position should be no for the average person. People with comorbidities had to gamble with more risk.
  • There is an ample sample size of government lies to assume fraud by default.
  • It’s not just looking at data. Making smart decisions also includes analysis of circumstances, motivations, facts and sources. I.e., critical thinking. This was an easy one.
  • The problem is, when data was given you dismissed it as bad data repeatedly…
  • What good did your data analysis get you? Believe it or not Scott, there are others out there who understand game theory. You’re not the only one. If the data you input into your analysis is dogshit, the results you get are dogshit. You used dogshit data and got dogshit.
  • Hardly data free analysis. Zelenko, Malone, McCullough,Gold,Kory,Wolf,FLCCC, and many many more. Out there for nearly 3 years
  • There was plenty of data both past and present. The fact that you still can’t see it and think we were all just lucky shows that you have learned nothing. Your opinions should never be trusted again. You simply lack the brain power to be taken seriously.

My own thought process on the subject of the Covid-19 vaccines was very simple, straightforward, and proved to be reliable. I observed that the people most actively involved in pushing the vaxx propaganda were outspoken global depopulationists. Therefore, I concluded that the vaxx was not intended to save lives and thereby increase the global population, it was intended to reduce the global population, most likely through adverse effects on human fertility.

And everything else, from the relentless government propaganda campaigns to the scientific information revealed by Karl Denninger and the inexplicable demonization of cheap, effective, and widespread substances like Vitamin D, zinc, and Ivermectin, collectively did nothing more than confirm the correctness of my initial conclusion.

Schroedinger’s Cornerback

Consider how the “revelation of the method” deception works. It’s a very Gamma technique and it works most effectively on Gammas, Deltas, and women. To utilize it, you admit what you are doing, but you do so in a sarcastic or snarky manner that is intended to leave the audience with the impression that you are denying what you are literally admitting. It’s perceived denial by admission.

In the case of the NFL cornerback who may or may not be alive, there is an additional element of reductio ad absurdum. No one, literally no one, believes that Damar Hamlin has been replaced by a genetic clone of his that was prepared more than two decades ago just in case he died of an adverse reaction to a mandated genetic therapy in front of tens of millions of viewers. What skeptics actually think is that the unfortunate Mr. Hamlin either died or is in very poor health, and he is presently being portrayed in public by a stand-in who is two inches shorter and about 15 pounds lighter, based on a comparison of the video evidence with his measurements at the NFL Combine as well as the fact that “he” resolutely avoids showing his face on camera or in public.

Now, the skeptics may be wrong. Perhaps Damar Hamlin is every bit as alive and healthy as Tiffany Dover, the nurse who we have been assured totally didn’t die after being publicly vaccinated and collapsing unconscious on camera. And if Damar Hamlin shows up and plays for the Buffalo Bills next year, it will be obvious that he did not die on the field or in the hospital that was inexplicably surrounded by federal agents on the night he went into cardiac arrest.

On the other hand, if he tragically dies in a boating accident this offseason after assiduously avoiding the cameras until then, we’ll have a very different sort of confirmation.

Category Errors

It’s hilarious to see what happens when people jump in well after the fact and attempt to explain some of the ideas that they find intriguing. All too often, their need to delude themselves about reality in order to redefine themselves as winners inevitably causes them to get things significantly and observably wrong. For example, this guy’s attempt to describe Deltas in a way that would appear to indicate them having a lower social status than Gammas is particularly egregious.

What Is A Delta Male?

Delta males really don’t bring much to the table at all.

They are characterised for having no interest in achievement or self-improvement. Often, they are mentally and physically sloppy.

They’re insecure around women, because they’ve spent most of their life being rejected by them. That’s assuming they ever had the courage to speak to them at all.

Sadly, it’s widely agreed that the majority of men are delta males.

Delta males can be resentful of others, seeing as they don’t get a lot out of life, although this isn’t a staple part of their character.

The only two correct elements here are the Delta insecurity around women and the fact that they make up the majority of men. Literally everything else is not only wrong, but wildly wrong, to such an extent that it indicates the author doesn’t even understand why “Delta” was chosen to identify the particular behavioral pattern. Deltas not only bring a lot to the table, they are the bedrock of all civilization. They are literally the most necessary of all behavioral patterns, and society needs more of them, not less.

This miss on the Delta is a little strange, because the guy did a pretty good job addressing some of the other categories.

While I appreciate the high level of interest shown in the concepts of the socio-sexual hierarchy, and I’m glad so many people find them useful and intriguing, I find it amazing that some individuals keep attempting to change things and modify them in ways that can’t possibly help anyone utilize what is a fairly simple analytical tool and primarily serves to muddy the waters.

I really have to write the SSH book as soon as I’m done with A SEA OF SKULLS.

UPDATE: Oh, for crying out loud. The guy is even attempting to describe female patterns of behavior in terms of male patterns of behavior. This is beyond retarded. Attempting to apply the SSH to women is akin to trying to categorize them on the basis of their penis sizes. It’s a fundamental category error.
