Invaluable links, Tom. It's getting harder and harder to know where to look for news and information. Your efforts are much appreciated. Cheers.
Is academia a cult?
Absolutely. If you don’t toe the politically correct line, you are purged. If you question social justice warrior trash, you are eliminated. If you are a white heterosexual non-Jewish male, you can’t get in (unless you have a lot of money, plus top-level social connections).
American universities started turning to sh*t about the time they ceased being free. White males need not apply.
Our only consolation is that all the students who push P.C. filth are being saddled with massive debt.
It was the same in France until recently. The middle class was hurting, but not enough for French students to stop indulging their P.C. trash. Students could afford to be militantly self-righteous, calling anyone they disagreed with a Nazi.
Now the party is over. Welcome to reality, bitches.
Chemical #macron gassing his own people.
Good one!
I noted before that the corporate media outlets refer to neoliberal fanatics as “centrists” and “moderates,” just like the U.S.-paid head choppers in Syria are called “moderates.”
Welcome to the European Spring.
Some reader comments from Twitter…
“Intervention! Liberate France like France liberated Libya!”
“We must immediately drop humanitarian bombs to spread democracy in France. And arm the rebels.”
“So where are the French white helmets?”
“Macron: the butcher of Paris.”
“Launch cruise missiles at France in order to target ‘Iranians’ there.”
++++++++++++++++
Half of the people in Syrian Girls’ Twitter thread didn’t get the joke. Their responses are very hostile.
Yellow vest protest to have severe impact on economy: Le Maire
Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire says, “We must expect a new slowdown of economic growth at year-end due to the yellow vest protests.”
Translation: We in the neoliberal government are saintly.
All the hardships felt by workers these past years, and far into the future, can be blamed on protesters.
France probing rumors about Russia's involvement in yellow vests protests
When you examine oppressive governments dispassionately, you see that they are quite stupid. They have a very limited bag of tricks to keep the masses confused and obedient. Such tricks only work as long as the peasants are not hurting too badly.
In the case of France, applying the Russia-did-it hoax to the protesters will only make them angrier and more united.
Incidentally what is the source of these idiotic reports of “Russian interference” in the French protests?
The source is a propaganda mill called the Alliance for Securing Democracy, which was formed in July 2017 to blame Russia for everything. (Everything.) These liars have offices in several European cities, and they are headquartered in Washington DC.
Thanks, Peter.
