This futher underlines the central thesis of Corporate Cancer for even the most slow to grasp the concepts involved: SJWs do not care in the slightest about business or corporate revenue:

Publishing staff working on JK Rowling’s latest book threatened to down tools yesterday in protest at her views on gender. The Harry Potter author, 54, has endured a storm of protest since expressing ‘deep concerns’ about transgender activism in an essay last week in which she also described being a victim of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Those criticising her have included movie stars she helped make famous.

It led to headlines such as ‘Bonfire of JK Rowling’ as the multi-million-pound empire she created threatened to turn against her.

Yesterday morning at publishing house Hachette, several of those involved in Miss Rowling’s new children’s book, The Ickabog, are said to have staged their own rebellion during a heated meeting. One source said: ‘Staff in the children’s department at Hachette announced they were no longer prepared to work on the book.

At this rate, Castalia will be one of the Big Three publishers before the final collapse of the United States into multipartite ethno-cultural war. SJWs act like they are demon-possessed because they are true believers in a de facto satanic neo-religious philosophy.

The thought-policing of authors even extends to the fans:

The editor of the world’s biggest Harry Potter fan site has urged supporters to stop buying JK Rowling’s books and films over the author’s ‘transphobia’ row.

Dr. Jordan Peterson has an important message for all of us.

 How To Change the World Properly

This was triggered in part by something I read recently by Jonathan Haidt. Jonathan Haidt is the professor of ethical leadership at the NYU Stern School of Business, and he’s been a very astute commentator recently on some of the political battles that have been going on in the social sciences. He has noted, for example, that there is very little political diversity in the views of social scientists, and perhaps even less on the part of people in the humanities. Haidt recently wrote something where he claimed that universities have to decide between social justice and truth. And on the side of truth he puts a philosopher named John Stuart Mill, an English philosopher, who said:

“He who knows only his side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion.”

And then Haidt juxtaposes John Stuart Mill with Karl Marx, who said, “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.” Haidt considers Marx the patron saint of Social Justice University, which is oriented around changing the world in part by overthrowing power structures and privilege. It sees political diversity as an obstacle to action. Mill, on the other hand, according to Haidt, is the patron saint of what he calls Truth U, which sees truth as a process in which flawed individuals challenge each other’s biased and incomplete reasoning, and in the process all become smarter.

Haidt points out that Truth University dies when it becomes intellectually uniform or politically orthodox. This is in part my call, along with Jonathan Haid, for young people to join Truth University.

But there’s a problem, and that is that young people want to change the world. That’s part of what Piaget, the developmental psychologist, called the “Messianic stage,” and there’s some real utility in that. We’re social creatures, and as we construct ourselves and formulate ourselves and bring our own character into being, predicated on our biological platform or biological being, we also simultaneously have to integrate, adjust to, and negotiate with society, which sometimes needs to be changed. The structure of society has to be preserved, but it has to be updated and improved as it moves forward.

Note that John Stuart Mill, who Jordan Peterson asserts is “on the side of truth” is also the original SJW. Do you still seriously doubt that this occult-obsessed addict is a gatekeeping snake?

“Society should treat all equally well who have deserved equally well of it, that is, who have deserved equally well absolutely. This is the highest abstract standard of social and distributive justice; towards which all institutions, and the efforts of all virtuous citizens should be made in the utmost degree to converge.”
 —John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism, 1861

And yes, that’s a Hitchhiker’s reference. It seemed appropriate, in light of how Disney is following up on the massive success of the converged final trilogy:

Star Wars editor and Del Rey Creative Director Elizabeth Schaefer recently revealed what the unofficial subtitle for the upcoming Star Wars anthology From A Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back.

Star Wars recently announced a follow-up to their anthology series From a Certain Point of View anthology series with From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

The anthology will feature 40 stories by 40 authors that will reimagine “the classic sequel through the eyes of background characters — heroes, villains, droids and creatures.”

And as for what that reimagining might look Del Rey editor Elizabeth Schaefer detailed that their unofficial subtitle is “Gay and in space.”

She wrote on Twitter, “It is important to note that our unofficial subtitle for From A Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back is “Gay and in space.”

It just never, ever, ends. This is why our ancestors were wiser when they simply described their lunatics as witches and investigated how well they floated.

It will be ironic if Charles Darwin is not ejected from his lofty status as a secular scientific saint by scientific and mathematical criticsm, but by the ignorant baying of the savage mob:

Up until now, Darwin has been considered something of a hero on the political left, due to the religious right’s opposition to the teaching of evolution in schools (or at least, their insistence that one should“teach the controversy” that supposedly surrounds evolution and creationism). However, it is quite possible there will soon be a reckoning. For Darwin’s writings contain ample statements that would put him far beyond the pale of what is now considered acceptable.

First, differences between the sexes. In The Descent of Man, Darwin states that “the average of mental power in man must be above that of woman.” And in an 1882 letter, he states that “women though generally superior to men to moral qualities are inferior intellectually,” and that “there seems to me to be a great difficulty from the laws of inheritance… in their becoming the intellectual equals of man.” He also observes in The Descent of Man that “the male sex is more variable in structure than the female.” This observation has since become known as the greater male variability hypothesis, and has been applied to a variety of human traits including, mostcontroversially, intelligence.

Second, differences between the races. Referring to some natives he encountered in South America during the voyage of the Beagle, Darwin observes, “one can hardly make oneself believe that they are fellow creatures.” He dedicates a whole chapter of The Descent of Man, to his study of “the races of man.” In that chapter he states, “There is, however, no doubt that the various races, when carefully compared and measured, differ much from each other… Their mental characteristics are likewise very distinct; chiefly as it would appear in their emotional, but partly in their intellectual faculties.” And in an earlier chapter of the book, he contrasts the “civilised races of man” with “the savage races,” noting that the former will “almost certainly exterminate, and replace” the latter.

Third, eugenics. In The Descent of Man, Darwin states, “We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination… Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind.” He then observes, “It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.” However, he also notes, “Nor could we check our sympathy, even at the urging of hard reason, without deterioration in the noblest part of our nature… We must therefore bear the undoubtedly bad effects of the weak surviving and propagating their kind.”

If they’re going after Churchill, they certainly won’t give St. Darwin a pass. These barbarians don’t care about history and they care even less about scientific history.

The self-evisceration of the game industry picks up speed:

Today, we will be changing the multiverse ID and removing the Gatherer card image for the card Invoke Prejudice, originally printed in 1994. The card is racist and made even worse by the multiverse ID it was unfortunately codified with years ago. There’s no place for racism in our game, nor anywhere else.

But to that point, it should never have been published nor placed in the Gatherer. And for that we are sorry. The events of the past weeks and the ongoing conversation about how we can better support people of color have caused us to examine ourselves, our actions, and our inactions. We appreciate everyone helping us to recognize when we fall short. We should have been better, we can be better, and we will be better.

To that end, we will be removing a number of images from our database that are racist or culturally offensive, including:

Invoke Prejudice
Cleanse
Stone-Throwing Devils
Pradesh Gypsies
Jihad
Imprison
Crusade
Replacing those card images will be the following statement:

“We have removed this card image from our database due to its racist depiction, text, or combination thereof. Racism in any form is unacceptable and has no place in our games, nor anywhere else.”

I can’t say I had any interest in Magic: The Gathering after figuring out the nature of the game mechanics, but the decline and eventual collapse of the converged companies should create some nice opportunities in the near future.

It’s rather telling to observe a perspective that celebrates summoning demons, black magic, and murder, but decries whatever “racism” is this week. Keep that in mind if you’re ever tempted to virtue-signal about your not-racism.

The Graham-Pence rule is the best approach to take with all SJWs. Because they use the “heads I’m offended, tails you’re racist” game to advance themselves, the only way to win is not to play. Because no SJW will hesitate to take out even the most liberal fellow SJW:

Exeter said Mulroney had ‘taken offence to a very generic call to action’ posted online, causing the two women to argue about the topics of white privilege and racism.

The influencer claims the exchange resulted in Mulroney saying: ‘I have also spoken to companies and people about the way you have treated me unfairly. You think your voice matters. Well it only matters if you express it with kindness and without shaming people who are simply trying to learn. Good luck.’

Exeter said the exchanges left her feeling ‘paralyzed in fear,’ wondering what Mulroney was saying to her brand partners or potential brands she might want to work with.

Sharing the video with her 58,000 followers, she explained: ‘Very early on in this, I was very vocal about wanting my peers with an online presence to speak up, stand up and use their voice for good to help combat what’s going on with this race war.’

She said she had made an effort ‘not to call out anyone directly’, but said Mulroney, who ‘used to be an acquaintance’, took issue with Exeter’s ‘very generic call to action’ on social media.

Exeter said Mulroney went on to ‘lash out’ at her and said the ‘very problematic antics’ escalated until the stylist sent over what Exeter felt was ‘a threat in writing.’

Exeter said: ‘I’m by no means calling Jess a racist, but she is very well aware of her wealth, her perceived power and privilege because of the colour of her skin.

‘And that my friends, gave her the momentary confidence to come for my livelihood in writing. Textbook white privilege really.’

The influencer accused Mulroney of ‘never wanting to stand up and use her voice in the first place’ and ‘not understanding why she needed to’.

I’m not defending Mulroney here. She’s about as awful as an SJW can get. The point is that no amount of genuflecting and appeasement and denouncing of badthink is going to save you from the crocodiles.

Speak the truth and stay away from SJWs. Don’t engage with them and don’t react when they try to engage you. Don’t defend yourself; don’t even respond to them. They are not part of our society or even our civilization. Think of them as living in some sort of evil parallel universe you cannot even perceive. The more we avoid them, the more they will devour each other.

No amount of words can substitute for action, as a group of former Boy Scouts proved in defense of Lord Baden-Powell’s memory:

A council has dramatically abandoned its plan to take down a seaside statue of Lord Baden-Powell today after his supporters blocked a removal team brought in following pressure from Black Lives Matter protesters who branded him racist, homophobic and fascist.

Former Scouts, some from more than 100 miles away, had rushed to Dorset and formed a ring of steel around the bronze monument, fending off a disposal crew in Poole Quay at 7.30am as the campaign to remove 92 historic monuments in Britain hurtles on.

And this afternoon Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Councillor Mark Howell said that the removal is off for today because contractors didn’t want to work in a ‘circus’, adding:  ‘It is possible we might not take it away at all’.

If you’re not acting, you’re not doing anything. If you’re not fighting back, you’re surrendering.

Remember, they take your silence as consent.

This diversity somehow managed to be too converged for Netflix. That’s like being rejected by lung cancer for being too cancerous:

The strategy lead for L.G.B.T.Q. content at Netflix has parted ways with the company just a week after he was the subject of an ‘eyebrow raising’ profile piece in The New York Times.

Fran Tirado, 29, took to Twitter on May 21 to announce he had left the streaming service after 10 months and was on the lookout for a new job.

On May 13, The Times published a profile on Tirado titled ‘The Pandemic Work Diary of Netflix’s Queer Champion’. In the article, the strategist claimed he took edibles and skipped a Q&A with the company’s chief executive, while also boasting that his job included ‘talking about gay porn’.

Diversity is their death sentence.

The Devil Mouse is taking their raping of Generation X’s collective childhood memories to a whole new level.

Disney is also rewriting The Battle of Hoth.

The first scene sees a Rebel soldier then tell Leia, “General, there’s a fleet of Star Destroyers coming out of hyperspace in sector four.”

Leia responds, “It’s risky but, we can’t hold out much longer.”

From the very beginning the short is altering what actually happened in The Empire Strikes Back. What actually happened is that a Rebel soldier informs General Rieekan of the Imperial fleet emerging out of hyperspace.

As you can see in the clip below, the soldier tells Rieekan, “General, there is a fleet of Star Destroyers coming out of hyperspace in Sector 4.”

Rieekan responds, “Reroute all power to the energy shield. Gotta hold them until all transports are away. Prepare for ground assault.”

Not only does the short remove Rieekan completely, but it also refers to Leia as General. She did not use that title in The Empire Strikes Back. She was referred to as Princess. In fact, she didn’t take on the title of General until she formed the Resistance in Disney’s sequel trilogy.

L’affaire du Damore has come to a quiet close:

Google and the engineer it fired agreed to end their legal fight but didn’t detail terms of the case’s conclusion. Google and James Damore, an engineer it fired in 2017, have agreed to dismiss his lawsuit against the tech giant, a quiet end to a loud case that began with a controversial memo in which Damore criticized the company’s efforts to improve the diversity of its workforce.

“This matter is dismissed in its entirety,” Judge Brian Walsh wrote in a Thursday order with the Superior Court in Santa Clara, the Silicon Valley county where Google is headquartered, after Damore and Google “agreed to end the case … between them.” Details of the agreement weren’t disclosed.

Translation: Google paid Damore several million dollars in order to prevent the further public release of information.

Meanwhile, Pikachu confirmed that Google remains committed to complete convergence:

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai responded to a report that Google has dramatically scaled back diversity and inclusion programs to appease conservative critics, promising that the company remains committed. “Diversity is a foundational value for us. Given the scale at which we build products and the fact we do it locally for our users, we are deeply committed to having that representation in our workforce,” said Pichai in an interview on The Vergecast. “What we are doing in the company is constantly at our scale. We look at that first — see what works, what we can scale up better. All I can say is we probably have more resources invested in diversity now than at any point in our history as a company.”

Translation: Google will keep hiring people who can’t possibly do the necessary work until it goes bankrupt.
