Fascism versus "smashism"

As I've mentioned before I live in the inner west. It's left-heavy, and the woke residents certainly make it known. There are heaps of posters around the place telling you about the joys of communism, feminism, gay marriage and all the rest.

The people who create these exhortations are clearly not too bright. But I'm actually kinda fond of them because they are so funny. And each of them seems to encapsulate one or more aspect of the mind virus that is political correctness itself.

Take this poster near Petersham Station.

If you're a drooling idiot you might think that this is a completely reasonable proposition: "Hell, we all know how evil those fascists are. Why should we listen to anything they have to say? They want to enslave all the good folk so surely it's entirely reasonable to beat the crap out of them ... Violence is bad of course; we'd never inflict it upon peaceful people. But those fascists -- they're askin' for it, aren't they!"

But if you are even remotely capable of critical thought you'd be alarmed by that poster. First question that comes to mind is: Okay, but what do you define as "fascism"?

And when you look at the Left and what they arc up about it's pretty clear that they attach that label, along with Nazism, to almost anything that doesn't agree with their top-down centralized view of how society should be run.

They think that words are literally violence so they feel completely justified in using real violence to shut people up. Can you think of a more clear example of psychological projection, manifested politically?

And I love the image of the clenched fist hitting a swastika. Says so much.

I don't think I have ever seen any Nazi symbols ever displayed proudly by any Australian group. I'm sure they are out there, but their numbers are clearly vanishingly small.

But that clenched fist symbol? You see it all the time, usually associated with leftish causes. Take the "Sleeping Giants". These woke wankers aren't capable of arguing their case, and they find anyone with an opposing viewpoint deeply threatening.

Antifa members assemble in packs to intimidate venue owners and managers who host critical, non-PC ("fascist") speakers as a way to get them no-platformed. And in a more restrained but still sinister way Sleeping Giants exhort their dopey acolytes to use social media to harass advertisers of TV shows deemed guilty of wrongthink.

It's still "smashism", and ugly as all get out. And the fact that this kind of online bullying is encouraged and even carried out by so-called "academics" is truly alarming.

If these muppets had any sense of self-awareness they would realize they far more closely resemble the "fascists" they condemn than their opponents. But sadly the cancer of PC has rendered them incapable of independent thought. In most cases it's an incurable condition.

That said, it's good to know that there are a growing number of people aware of this tragic irony. And we can still laugh at the smashists' stupid antics in the meantime. So, there's still hope yet!

Haughty haters find Hurley hurty

Haven't really followed the lead up to the appointment of the new Governor General. So I don't know anything about this David Hurley dude ...

Still, given he's a member of the PC Left's most despised demographic, not at all surprised at the uproar it's caused on social media. Usual suspects are of course going spacko because he's not gay, female, trans, Muslim, furry, otherkin, or otherwise victimized -- though, given his military background I think those who identify as narcoleptic albino attack helicopters might not be entirely displeased.

Also predictable was the reaction from the mainstream media. Many activists masquerading as journalists were a tad shat off about Hurley's appointment, like dopey Ginny here:

As at least one eagle eyed tweep pointed out, the role of GG does entail being Commander in Chief of the Australian Armed Forces. So, blokes in uniform makes perfect sense -- if you're not a sneering child-brained muppet, that is.

Most of her fellow leftie luvvies were more diplomatic, employing the ol' bob each way, "yes but no" line. Take the tragic serial white-knighter PVO.

Pretty funny coming from Perfessor Pete. As well as refusing to take his own advice, check his own "white male privilege", and hand his gigs to someone more deserving, he's wedded to the whole idea of gender quotas and just can't escape the PC thought prison. (Also, I think PVO forgets we've already had a chick in the role recently -- Quentin Bryce, remember.) 

Then there's this from Doctor Baird -- for a doctor she is (hat-tip: Hendo).

I'm sure Julia is a fine woman, too. A shame though, that the opportunity was not taken by the ABC to appoint an Indigenous thinker to the role of host of The Drum. I reckon someone like, say, Anthony Dillon would be a vast improvement on the current one, don't you?

And what significant development in Oz politics would be replete without the sage counsel of the former Chief Finger-Wagger of Goodthink Central himself, Tim Soutphommasane.

Yeah, he's flogging his #BeyondThePale hobby horse, as per usual. Contrary to MLK's truly wise advice, he exhorts us to place characteristics like ethnic identity over inner qualities such as character and ability.

But then he seems to do a backflip in this retort later on when -- in a textbook example of psychological projection -- he implies that merit is actually a thing, and an important one at that. (Of course there's no way known that Tim himself got his gig at the HRC due to the "diversity lottery"! No, not at all. It was all down to merit in his case, obviously.)

Er, you can't have it both ways, Tim.

But then, that's what the PC Left are all about, right? Like the pampered sprogs they are (and remain their entire miserable lives) they always wanna "have their cake and eat it too". It's the rest of us who have to pay for their privilege.

I know it's only smock and troll but I like it!

One of the most impressive things about President Donald J Trump is that not only does he own his foes with such ease and frequency, he does it with such amazing panache. He is not only making America great again. He's making politics yugely entertaining for the first time!

It's this showmanship that was instrumental in him getting elected POTUS back in 2016 against such yuge odds. And it's what helps him maintain momentum as he drains The Swamp and humiliates the fake news MSM on a daily basis.

His Twitter trolling is prolly his most effective tool in this regard. His most outrageous tweets perform several functions at once: They trigger liberal crazies, give sane adults a chuckle, and constitute cryptic signals to supporters and enemies alike. Take this recent tweet in which he used the phrase "smocking gun".
 

Countless Trump-haters saw it as more evidence that he's a complete moron, natch. Verified twats across the globe piled on with their sneering social media updates, not realizing that he was actually using them to get his message across to the normies.

Take this update from this blue check loon. He actually notices that the hashtag #SmockingGun is trending but doesn't twig to the ramifications of this. It means that a helluva lot of people are looking at the tweet, and it's being reported in the MSM. So the point POTUS makes in it -- that he's not guilty of Russian collusion -- is reaching millions more people than it would have done otherwise.

Trump knows that his haters have fallen for the cartoon facade of the boastful oaf that he's carefully constructed over many years. They simply cannot pass up an opportunity to show all their credulous fans how much smarter they are than he is.

Comic Zach, who you'd hope would be much smarter, stops thinking the moment he sees evidence that seems to confirm his dim view of the man.

Braff and his fellow leftie slebs have fallen for Trump's trap. He's triggered their emotions so they don't use their intellects (not that those are exactly powerful when they are employed).

If you're a thinking person viewing Trump's tweet, however, you'd quickly realize the spelling "error" was intentional. Firstly, he's quoting from an article by simply cutting and pasting it. Highly unlikely a journo would make such a boo-boo, so he must have changed it on purpose.

And even if you thought he typed it word by word, and can't spell "smoking" then you'd prolly search for the word elsewhere in his feed to test that hypothesis. Then you'd see that yes he can spell it, because he used the term "smoking gun" correctly only a coupla days before, again in the context of claims of Russian collusion.

Which would then provoke you into wondering why he would do this. And that's the second function of his zen-level trolling. He's basically getting his supporters to focus on this "crumb" and engage in their own speculation about what's really going on, since the MSM narrative on his presidency is absolute bollocks and we all know that. 

I have a coupla theories on why he chose the word "smocking". Firstly, he's making fun of the Deep State-controlled MSM itself. He's saying that by pushing the bogus Russian collusion narrative, the Mockingbird Media has made a smockery of itself.

And I think he's implying that while they have only a (fake news) "smocking gun", he has the real "smoking gun" showing how it was actually the dirty Dems who colluded with the Russians on Uranium One.

The "error" might also be a reference to the anti-Macron "yellow vest" protests in France."Smock" is often used to describe a protective work garment, after all. (Sure, this could be too long a bow -- or too loose a vest -- but it's certainly possible.)

And remember that the Smockingturd Media is lying about the extent and cause of that massive unrest. They are saying that it's all about fuel taxes. But the motivation is much deeper than that.

As the above photos attest, the protests sweeping France and other European nations are against the globalist Cabal more generally. Also, many of the protestors are part of the "Q Movement", which the MSM is desperately trying to portray as a batshit "conspiracy theory".

Obviously it's anything but. Just as I'm postulating thoughts and theories about the tweets of POTUS (otherwise known as "Q+") so do countless "autists" on 8Chan and similar sites. It's a democratic process, a Socratic dialogue that encourages free thinking, not a top-down, prescribed narrative. And that's what terrifies the globalist elites. There's a great awakening occurring worldwide and they can't stop it no matter how hard they try. 

Which brings me to the last aspect of Trump's use of trolling: gaslighting and threatening of enemies.

This is something both sides do, of course. Take James Comey's sinister allusion to assassination in this tweet.

Notice how he's positioned directly under the statue of President Lincoln? Gee, I wonder what he was suggesting there. Can't possibly imagine ...

In a comparable way I think Trump coulda been sending a coded threat to his enemies by inserting a "c" into the word "smoking." And intriguingly, he did it twice.

There has been an exhaustive investigation into the Clinton Foundation, the findings of which were scheduled to be tabled on the 5th of December. That was delayed by the George HW Bush funeral, which was clearly not a coincidence.

Word is that this comprehensive Clintonoscopy has uncovered evidence of gargantuan corruption, and worse. Maybe some of it specifically relates to Chelsea Clinton herself and POTUS was hinting at this in his tweet?

Well, time will tell ... One thing's for sure. Trump's tweets will keep his squillions of supporters across the globe thoroughly entertained and speculating up a storm, just as his foes go crazy with the stress!

What a legend.

Who is smarter, Julian Burnside or Donald Trump?

Dunno about you, but I find it astonishing and hilarious that the most committed Trump-haters haven't yet figured out that he's actually smart as. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, they keep insisting that he's just a gross, narcissistic fool.

Hell, you'd think that they would at least question that assumption from time to time. If they did, they'd contemplate the fact that he first had to crash the Republican Party to win the nomination, then take on the Democrats and Hillary (who all the pollsters and pundits were saying had an unassailable lead right up until election night), not to mention the entire mainstream media. He still won, and he's been battling all those powerful forces and many others since.

He's also at war with the Deep State who obviously want to kill him and almost certainly have tried more than once. Yet while doing all that, he's still managed to turn the entire US economy around, denuke the Norks, and do a shitload of other cool stuff besides.

But the usual suspects cling to their hateful stereotype more tightly than ever! Still, I shouldn't be surprised. Being essentially child-brained and emotionally driven, PC lefties tend not to look at cold hard evidence in any field they wish to influence. They are terrified that it will confound their utopian narrative which revolves around them as society's most enlightened, good, kind, compassionate and intelligent citizens.

Which is why they continue to beclown themselves over Trump ... Take these comically revealing tweets from local luvvie Julian Burnside, for example. Firstly, he falls for a fake account because it confirms his dim view of POTUS. Then when he twigs it's a joke he doesn't readjust his thinking, or even delete the tweet. In classic SJW style, he doubles down instead.

It's hilarious. Those tweets are still up there too, BTW. He obviously hasn't yet realized how stupid they make him look.

And I say "look" because I don't believe that he himself is a moron. Hell, he can't be! He's a high profile barrister with an impressive track record. He's clearly a competent professional who can process a lot of information and construct a convincing narrative to sway a jury. 

That's because in a professional, legal context he's more dispassionate about things. He's not in the grip of a powerful emotion, so his intellect comes to the fore and he can apply his skill and knowledge to the task at hand.

But when it comes to Trump, he's all over the shop! He's triggered emotionally, see. Hurty fee-fees cloud his thinking and he becomes Julian Blindside instead.

This IQ-lowering process happens to countless other PC lefties across the globe. Which is actually by design. See, Trump has been carefully developing and honing this brash, buffoonish image for many years so that he can leverage it when he needs to. If he wants to distract his haters while he achieves something significant behind the scenes, he'll say something particularly outrageous, or send out a tweet storm chockas with spelling and grammatical errors (which also double as code for supporters but that's another story entirely).

His repeated mockery of "Little Rocket Man" was a fine example of this. He had all his MSM and political enemies in conniptions over those tweets, thinking he was gonna provoke a nuclear war! But in reality he was making deals with Kim Jong-un who was almost certainly in on the joke.

And he's been doing a lot of outrageous social media stuff lately. Take that retweet of the meme showing many of his foes including the Clintons and Obama behind bars. As a result, serious sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome like our Julian see vivid confirmation of their dim view of him and vehemently express their disgust and disdain.

Meanwhile, with these people all jeering, sneering and pontificating he's getting all sorts of amazing stuff done. And believe me, amazing is the right word. It's gonna make what he achieved with North Korea seem mild in comparison. In coming months, maybe even weeks, I think almost everyone is gonna be yugely blindsided, not just Julian and his fellow travellers ... 

Across the West ideological battles are becoming spiritual ones

I find it fascinating how politics in the West -- America especially -- has transformed massively in the last coupla years. It's gone from the old left versus right paradigm to globalism versus nationalism. And it seems to be progressing even further into a religious, spiritual war.

And I'm not just referring to Islam, and how its more zealous believers are using our freedoms against us. It's more about a strong and very unsettling feeling that rapidly increasing numbers of people now have that there are truly evil forces at work across the globe, ones that have gone undetected for decades. 

Take for example the whole issue of human trafficking. By following updates from "Q" -- who is actually dinkum and not some crazy "conspiracy theory" as the MSM would have you believe -- we've learned that many well known, well respected organizations are actually fronts for this sickening global industry and that "Swamp"-dwelling politicians (both Democrat and Republican) have been involved in it indirectly for decades.

Obviously you don't have to be a Christian to see this trade as evil and to support Trump's efforts to shut it all down. That said, Christians are yugely supportive of their POTUS for this reason (among others) and they often proudly proclaim their faith along with #MAGA in their social media profiles.

And while not all Trump-haters are anti-Christian (some are even God-botherers themselves) there seem to be a high percentage who are. Sounds utterly barking but, yes, there are many powerful and influential people -- including numerous Hollywood slebs -- who dinkum worship Lucifer! They often flash devil horn gestures; cover one eye, etc. Such a creepy bunch of narcissists.

Being a non-religious person myself it took me quite a while to get my head around this. It sounds too absurd to be true. But it makes perfect (irrational) "sense" when you think about it. If you wanna destroy Western civilization, which the globalist, PC Left clearly does, then you're gonna have to take down its Christian foundations.

A generalized atheism is simply not focused enough for that task. That's like using a brick to kill a bug, because it negates all religion. Also, it's entirely negative (no God). Having some kind of faith is much more powerful, unifying and positive. Which is why, among cultural heavy hitters of Hollywood etc, Satan is so hot right now!

Obviously they're not all card-carrying, goat-fondling Luciferians. And many of those who are are clearly not yet ready to come out of the, er, dungeon. Remember that occult just means "hidden", and dark power is meant to be wielded from the shadows. Paradoxically, that's how they manage to get away with so much "in plain sight".

I think most of these people don't actually worship evil; they are just being manipulated by those who do. They really have sold their souls for fame, money and power. And they're just doing their dark masters' bidding.

That's why so many slebs are saying such vile things about Trump. They're also producing some truly alarming images in their art. Take this creepy clip from Celine Dion.

Read that post and you'll be in no doubt whatsoever that there's something truly sick and sinister going on. 

Wentworth win inspires Warringah wannabe

As of this writing the Wentworth by-election results have not been finalized. But it's still looking like Dr Kerryn Phelps will be declared the official winner.

Pretty funny that she's run as an independent. She's a full-on, right-on deep-green warmist socialist who ticks all the, er, left boxes.

To think that she said she wants to bring politics back to the "sensible centre". Gawd. Anyone who uses the term "social justice" isn't anywhere near there. "Out where the buses don't go" more like ... 

My guess is that when she gets in she's gonna do a lot of conniving with Labor and the Greens to cause as much trouble as possible for the Government. 

In any case, like so many of the latte Left, she's actually extremely wealthy. This was the Daily Telegraph's front page from a few days back. 

I think it's notable that the Tele, which definitely knows its audience, put this story on the cover. Wentworth is a very different place to the rest of Sydders -- particularly the western suburbs, where the paper is extremely popular. Westies sure as hell don't like BS artists and they can see right through them.

It's a great choice of photo. Immediately I saw it a caption came to mind: "I'm Big Kerryn and I'm excited! Have I got a policy for you!"

Phelps' facade of concern for the little guy is obvious. One fascinating fact from this story is that at her upmarket surgery she charges like a wounded bull. (Er, or perhaps that should be "cow"? Misgendering is practically a hate crime these days. And I don't want any woke folk thinking I'm being sexist, now do I?)

Anyhoo, as things stand, patients must cough up big time up front to see her, and remain substantially out of pocket after Medicare rebates. Makes her claim to want "better health" for Aussies seem insincere, since the position implies a desire for greater access and affordability.

Sure, she may still pass laws that are more egalitarian. But the fact that she herself fronts such a pricey practice is a very bad look.

Also, as Member for Wentworth she intends to keep her gig as a GP, and retain her position on the local council. As well as being what appears to be a legally dubious position given the recent mega-farce over Section 44, it makes her claim to be motivated by concern over climate change ring hollow.

I mean, she pushes the warmist line that we're all gonna die unless we switch to renewables. Obviously that's daft in itself, given our minuscule contribution to the so-called problem in the grand scheme of things. But if she truly believes this then wouldn't she devote all her time to this one issue?

Then there's her impressive real estate portfolio:

This is of course massively at odds with her leftish persona. Then there's the fact that she is so determined to have asylum seekers, and especially their kids, taken off Nauru. But I'll bet that like so many elitist finger-pointing hand-wringers she doesn't want these people staying anywhere near where she lives. She'll dump that task on already overburdened suburbs like Fairfield in the city's west.

If she really walked her talk she'd offer them free healthcare at her surgery and house them in one or more of her plush apartments. But nup. She intends to keep using these resources to keep bringing in the bucks!

FFS, what a massive fake!

Couldn't help thinking of JK Rowling when I learned about Phelps' wealth. The squillionaire wordsmith is a big time remoaner, remember. She wants Britain to absorb more and more immigrants, yet has never offered to accommodate them herself, despite owning a massive mansion with enough space for dozens, if not hundreds of them.

As well as being a globalist elitist hypocrite, she seems to be projecting some very weird occult vibes of late. I mean, WTF is this about?

Well, I hope Phelps doesn't go down that route ... Still, if it does turn out that the Wentworth rich doctor is actually a "witch doctor" I won't be at all surprised ...

Something else that's not surprising: other latte lefties taking advantage of the Wentworth result. Take Jane Caro for example. Like Phelps she's a fervent warmist. And she's thinking about running against Tony Abbott in Warringah.

So, she reckons it's her "duty" to try and save the planet for her grandchildren. M'kay.

Well, AFAIK she's still only considering the tilt at Tony Abbott's seat. So, ultimately if she doesn't run we'll have to conclude she doesn't really give a rat's about their fate after all.

Frankly I think this is what will actually happen. IMO, even if she does run she won't really be serious about it. Her pronouncements in this regard are much more about lifting her own profile than anything else. As an expert in media manipulation with an extensive advertising background she certainly knows how to use an issue for branding purposes!

Hot on the heels of the Warringah wannabe is the Gosford God-botherer.

Gawd ... Call me old fashioned, but if you're a priest running for political office, isn't that a bit of a step down? Aren't they supposed to be above the fray, speaking to our eternal spirits rather than our base materialism -- which is what politics is mostly about, let's face it.

Though, it's not like he doesn't have form. He's been playing politics with his stupid signs for yonks now. The Guardian story cited above describes them as "thought provoking".

Yeah, well, if the thought is "FFS what a tosser!" I suppose that statement is accurate.

Again, like Caro, I don't think he's serious. He does have a book to flog after all. For him to finally put his money where his, er, Godawful wank-placards are and run for office is an ace way to drum up publicity for sure.

It will be a miracle if he wins, of course. And he knows it. Which is exactly why he's running.

And you know what would be the greater miracle? If so-called "journalists" in the mainstream media started seeing through clowns like Bower, Caro and Phelps and stopped giving them softball interviews and free publicity.

Buckley's chance of it happening of course. Still, we can all hope and pray that it does. (Even I do, and I'm an atheist.) 

Clive Palmer wants to be Australia's Donald Trump. Sad!

I'm sure you've seen these posters up around the place. The first two shots I got below were in Parramatta Rd, Leichhardt. Clearly, Clive Palmer is hoping to become our own version of Donald Trump. As well as the catchphrase, he's even got the thumbs up happening.

But the whole pose is not very convincing, I'm afraid. He just doesn't have his heart in it ... Also, Trump is clearly way smarter than Clive. While the hefty Queenslander is clever enough to make mountains of moolah (though not nearly as much as he claims, it seems) and have some success in politics, he's definitely no "stable genius"!

Trump is always several steps ahead of the competition. And he has laser-like focus and clarity with his messaging. That's why he's never deviated from the "MAGA" mantra.

The same cannot be said of Clive Palmer. Here's another of his posters. This one is further west down Parramatta Rd. Notice how the first one says "Make Australia Great" yet this one says "Put Australia First".

Eh? That's a confused campaign. I don't think Clive has really thought this through ...

I have seen others around the place. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a different catchphrase yet again.

UPDATE: Saw this one in Leichhardt. Not surprised that it had been vandalized. While not quite as right-on as nearby Enmore, the area is very left-leaning.

Actually, if it were in Enmore and someone had scrawled "fat pig" across it, you'd prolly get another activist correcting that with a phrase like: "You can be beautiful at any size. (But Clive's still an arsehole!)"

And it would be spelled incorrectly, of course ... 

Michael Pascoe is an angry old white man

As we all know, white male bashing is one of the favourite pastimes for the Left, especially in "higher education" (lower indoctrination, more like!). Feminists in particular get off on it because it removes the need for actual thought and argument (which they find so terrifying, the poor little poppets). They can feel smug and secure in their sense of victimhood and get to demonize and shout down their opponents at the same time. What's not to like?

It's kinda weird that they've taken themselves to such a stupid place, of course. But it's even more bizarre when a white male himself uses this line of "argument". Take Michael Pascoe, in a recent episode of The Dumb.

Bloviating about Sky News, the pasty ol' pillock arced up big time. What a laugh! If anyone fit the description of "angry old white man" it was Pascoe himself!

And this kind of idiocy is common for the Left. Bolshies are brimming while conservatives are calm, generally speaking. And there seem to be as many (maybe more?) pale penis-persons in the former group as there are in the latter.

I have seen this phenomenon play out time and time again, especially on their ABC. It always amuses me that the moderator (often a pallid dude -- Snowcone Tone, for example) never calls out the irony. 

But that's the first thing any sensible person would do, right? I mean, if I were the panel-wrangler in this case I'd say: "Well you fit that description yourself, Michael. So are you saying that your point of view shouldn't be heard, or is unworthy of consideration?"

To which he would no doubt reply "well of course not", or something similar.

And I'd respond with: "So stick to the actual ideas we're discussing, and quit this stupid ad hom crap ... you fricken arsehat!" Er, or words to that effect.

But this just never happens. The moderators -- and other panellists, for that matter -- just let these idiots quack on because they love to hear their stupid ideology echoed, thereby reaffirming their tribal sense of righteousness.

Speaking of which, angry old white man Pascoe also contributed this gem.

Replace "Sky" with "The Drum" and "Murdoch empire" with "the ABC" and you have a perfect retort for all the luvvies fretting about the looming threat of privatization, and who are now saying Auntie desperately needs more support to remain "independent".

Oh, the irony!

The Hanson-Young vs Leyonhjelm grudge match has me shagged out already ...

It's prolly about a week ago now that David Leyonhjelm told Sarah Hanson Young to "stop shagging men" to make a rhetorical point in the heat of battle in the Senate. Amazing how it's all blown up since.

Maybe I've missed something, but as of this blogging I don't think SHY has yet actually cried "havoc!" and let slip the dogs of law. She's done a lot of huffing and puffing about it though.

Now I'm no "legal eagle" (not even a beagle). But IMHO by upping the tanty Hanson-Young has made a massive tactical error. Firstly, she is accusing him of "slut-shaming". Well, he never used that derogatory term. (So funny that prior to playing soundbites during his appallingly unprofessional lambasting of Leyonhjelm on their ABC, tragic SHY fanboi Hamish Macdonald issued a trigger warning. But that was clearly more for the word "slut" than "shag".)

Also, Leyonhjelm is Canberra's official "freedom dude". He doesn't think (alleged) mad rooting is bad. So how can he be "shaming" her by using Austin Powers' funny euphemism?

His conduct in the chamber was not edifying, sure. But it was no more offensive than what other pollies routinely get away with.

He was basically calling out hypocrisy because he thought he heard her blame men collectively for rape. And given her form on this subject, it's entirely plausible that's exactly what she did.  (He may have misheard her, sure. But it was a retort, not unprovoked bullying as the fake news-peddling MSM would have you believe.)

The exchange was akin to a pollie known for investing in the banking industry saying "bankers are crooks" and another calling him out by saying "well take all your shares out of Westpac then!" No one would say this was "investor-shaming" would they?

Anyhoo, why is "stop shagging men" sexist, as SHY and all her haughty supporters claim? It's not gender specific because men can shag men, too. Calling it sexist is actually homophobic, innit?

Then there's all the misandrist abuse that's been hurled at Leyonhjelm. Take this classy contribution from Catherine King on Q and A.

Hamish Macdonald was moderating that little jawfest. He didn't pull her up on it, of course. And imagine if any male pollie had said something similar about King herself?

Then there was Virginia Trioli on the 7:30 Report calling him "bitchy" to his face. Again, if a male journo said that to Hanson-Young? He'd be punted from Ultimo within the hour, and would prolly never work in mainstream media ever again.

Trioli is sooo annoying; such a lightweight. Tries to look all sassy and formidable but hides behind her gender ... And it's revealing that Charlie Pickering the "comedian" on The Weekly (fricken weakly, more like) was most impressed by that interrogation. He called it a "mauling". FFS, only a pussy would think that!

Then, in a massive own goal he sexualized Trioli by joking that she could have taken a "post-carnage selfie" with the male senator, a clear play on the word "coital". Now, as any victim feminist worth her salt would be aware, he was invoking "vagina dentata" imagery. Deeply, violently misogynistic! 

Dude is so dim he was clearly unaware of this faux pas. Neither was the airhead Trioli herself, since she hasn't arced up about it. She prolly would though if someone pointed it out to her, and there was a lynch mob she could join ...

Hmm. Maybe I should pose as one of the Twitter trollective, get Jenna Price et al on board, and beat up a campaign against the show: "Quick sisters, organize a girlcott!"

But back to the stoush itself. The sulking soy boys, white knighting wankers and fulminating frightbats of the MSM have all piled onto this big time, thinking that most people in Oz are taking the side of the poor St Sarah, who's had her virtue so violently violated by Evil Lord Leyonhjelm.

FFS, what a joke. I think most Aussies can see that it's a massive beat up. And this tweet confirms my suspicions. 

Both he and his accuser have started crowdfunding campaigns in preparation for the looming battle. I got the screen shots below at the same time yesterday. I thought it was interesting that even though SHY has received more money, she has a far larger support base. Think of all her fellow travellers in the meeja, and the professional activists doing her bidding. Must be squillions of 'em!

As well as being numerous, they're a highly cashed up demographic (professionals, etc). Yet they've clearly donated less per person than those who did for her so-called abuser. Interesting.

Well, I dunno what happens next. But it will be interesting to see how this all pans out.

I'm all for Leyonhjelm standing firm against the putrid tidal wave of abuse from SHY, the PC political establishment, and the rest of the Sanctimony-Hectoring Complex (otherwise known as the MSM). Even if he loses legally, he'll still win by refusing to apologize.

That's because the PC Left are all about dominance. The vicious collectivist bullies are going all out to shame this guy into backing down. Like the Maoists with their show-trials, they absolutely must make dissenters recant and show obeisance. In social justice, subordination must occur, and be seen to occur. Only then can they instill fear in the rest of the population. Fact that he won't do as he's told is making them lose their shit big time, and it's glorious!

Anyhoo, given the ribald nature of the term that sparked this whole episode, I thought a limerick was the best way to sum it up so far:

A "SHY" young Hanson named Sarah,
Once claimed the word "shagging" did "scare" her,
While that Leyonhjelm dude,
Like Austin, was crude,
Her threats were clearly an error!

Boys will be boys ... and lefties will be lefties

It's obvious that PC narratives pushed by those at the commanding heights of popular culture can be yugely influential. They really do have the effect of brainwashing a helluva lot of people. 

And they don't just stupefy. They can actually provoke highly obnoxious and antisocial behaviour -- even violence.

We've seen this recently with numerous Trump-hating Hollywood slebs, deranged leftists, butt-hurt Democrats and MSM fake news peddlers brazenly exhorting their fans, followers and supporters to go out and harass Trump officials. This has happened on several occasions, particularly to Republican women.

And here's a small but I think significant local example. In the wake of the rape and murder of Eurydice Dixon lefties in general and feminists in particular have been pushing the asinine, misandrist "all men are to blame" angle. This is hardly surprising, of course. Their whole ideology is based on lies.

Predictably, this bogus interpretation was thrashed on a recent episode of Q and A. Check out the very first question below. It was obviously chosen by the producers to echo the PC line that any act of violence perpetrated by an individual male is ultimately the fault of masculinity and to say anything else is blaming the victim:

JACINDA FERMANIS: Thanks, Tony. I suppose following the events of the last week or so, and in terms of the longer form narrative around the safety of women, this was important to me to highlight that, not only myself, but I feel I can speak on behalf of many women that we do have situational awareness, we do carry our phones home with us in our hands, we do carry our keys like a weapon and we are, in fact, aware of our surroundings, and yet, we are followed, we are stalked, harassed, abused, raped and, in this instance, murdered.

So to suggest, you know, the situational awareness narrative needs to continue is nothing less than victim-blaming. The only other step we could take as women would be to simply stay inside, curtailing our own lives massively and even then, we would still be in danger because of the mass amount of women who are abused and harmed by the men within their homes. Voices of authority should be condemning the perpetrators, not the victims, in this case, and every case that should follow. Unfortunately, they will follow. Is this the murderous version of “boys being boys”, and what is the solution?

On cue, countless Aussie frightbats on social media echoed this sentiment. Though consistently daft, Jane Caro is certainly accomplished at summarizing her toxic ideology in tweet form. She did so here, drawing a direct line between the widely used phrase "boys will be boys" and rape and murder.

So silly. The phrase is frequently invoked regarding unedifying blokey antics and bad behaviour including womanizing, sure. But I've never in my life heard any man (or woman) use it to seriously excuse rape or murder. The only times I can recall this particular association being made it was in feminist -- sorry, fear-menist -- propaganda, and some right-on flicks.

But as with all right-on bollocks the aim is not to be factually correct or morally right. It's to push a victim narrative. The goal here is to make women hate men, and men hate themselves. And if this results in public acts of stupidity or damage to a business' profits and reputation, well, bonus!

And that's exactly what happened here.

Pretty clear that this idiot was "inspired" to do this by the social media chatter about the "dangerous" phrase "boys will be boys" cited above. If not, why hadn't she arced up about this jumper before?

These people are amazingly stupid. They actually get instructions on what to be outraged about from their cultural Marxist "thought leaders".

You may have heard the term "weaponized autism". Well, this is a case of weaponized cretinism. It's something the PC Left just can't survive without.

PC feminist exploitation of Eurydice Dixon murder cynical in the extreme

Sure I'm not alone in being utterly disgusted by the way the usual suspects have pounced on the horrific rape and murder of Eurydice Dixon to push their treasured anti-male PC narrative.

Started immediately after the plods found her body and called a press conference. Because they exhorted women to take precautions, swivel-eyed frightbats from Sydney to Perth squawked up a storm, accusing them of "blaming the victim".

FFS. Saying "be careful out there" is not "blaming the victim". It's just good advice. In a perfect world terrible events like this would not occur. But it's not a perfect world. It's a dangerous place. Always was; always will be. So you should act accordingly.

In the subsequent days they've cranked out radical anti-male propaganda that has been truly alarming in its scale, intensity and shamelessness. Sure, the Left aren't the only ones who exploit crimes for political purposes. If the killer were, say, a known predator who was out on the street when he should've been in jail, it would've been politicized also. That would've been unedifying, but understandable. But in this case the campaign has been purely ideological. 

And it has definitely not been spontaneous and organic. Looks very much like the malignant muppets currently waging it had their whole strategy well prepared in advance. They sat around keeping their powder dry, then when they heard about this particular murder they gave the launch order: "Blunderbirds are GO!" They are as sick as they are cynical. 

The whole campaign is being waged right across the media, mainstream and social. Most ol' codgers like myself can see it for the big lie that it is and laugh it off. But it's gonna cause psychological damage to many younger folk of both genders (and yes there are only two).

It's been going for days already and they'll continue to flog it for the last ounce of toxic misandry they can, no doubt. But here are two examples from the last few days.

Oh, gawd. Where to start ... An entire city? Indefinitely? So OTT it qualifies as BS. Also, coward punch killers often get off lightly. Thomas Kelly's got 4 years for manslaughter ... And cops don't only tell women to stay safe. They are flat out finding and apprehending killers, too.

And check out Elly's replies under the main tweet.

So she wants a curfew for all men. Okay. How to enforce it? What, buncha beefy babes gonna go out on "penis patrol" -- sans guns of course, because I'm sure she's against them too -- and say: "Now, now, home time, testosteroids. It's after ten!" Good luck with that one, sisters ...

I doubt even Elly would be that naive. I think she might really prefer armed males patrolling the streets, arresting all the civilian men for breaking the curfew -- which of course negates her daft idea anyway.

And notice how she then jumps to demanding men be banned from voting and owning property! And from there she switches to another feminist obsession, the (mythical) pay gap. 

So, she's gone from crying crocodile -- sorry, dial-a-crock -- Twitter tears about male violence against women to demands that all men be denied a slew of basic rights.

This is irrefutable proof that Elly Baxter doesn't give a rat's clacker about the victim of this horrific crime. She's just using the murder to push her totalitarian ideology.

Not to be outdone, shameless male feminist "Dan the (Anti) Man" Andrews contributed this nauseating tweet thread:

Notice how he says "we". That's revealing and says something about his character -- or rather, lack thereof.

Male feminists often repeat the "all men are bastards" lie, implicitly (or explicitly) including themselves. This means that they know it's bollocks but go along with it to fit in, advance in their careers, or maybe even just get laid. That makes 'em misogynist cowards.

The other possibility: they know what dirty dogs they themselves are and assume all blokes are much like them.

Which one is Dan? I don't know. Maybe a bit of both ...

He's obviously a coward, because if he were serious about changing "male culture" he would tackle the widespread union thuggery in his state. If your average CFMEU-run building site isn't a breeding ground for "toxic masculinity" I don't know what is. 

In any case I doubt that Dan himself even wrote those tweets. I suspect he hired someone more trained in the practice of peddling politically correct cant. You never know, maybe Badham or Ford, or even Caro was called in (and paid big bucks, natch) to make sure the misandrist message came through loud and clear.

Which is why I'm calling him Van Andrews from now on ...

Leftie outrage over Nazi swastika flag tanks completely

So funny to watch the usual suspects fulminate over a photo of a swastika flag being flown on an Aussie army truck in Afghanistan ... Sure, not exactly edifying. But it was clearly a joke. And given the violent, bloody context, black humour like this is perfectly understandable.

But of course it was just not acceptable to chief finger wagger Tim Soutphommasane.

Tim is so routinely self-parodic he's a hoot. He must have been so relieved that this snap (from over a decade ago!) surfaced recently. Dinkum complaints of racial discrimination are so thin on the ground, dude has to go out touting for them, like he did with the late great Bill Leak's cartoon.

Says heaps that he's more outraged by jokey or satirical images than he is about, say, the rape of toddlers in Aboriginal communities ...

Also, think of the context here. These white male soldiers in Afghanistan were out killing non-white people in what Tim's fellow cultural Marxists define as a concerted campaign of Western imperialism. And their victims were Muslims to boot. According to the AHRC's own "logic" that clearly makes their entire operation deeply Islamophobic and therefore raaacist! So why isn't he railing about that?

Gawd, but these muppets are a joke, aren't they? Even by their own silly standards their huffing and puffing makes no sense at all ...

Then there's the wider irony of why another totalitarian symbol of mass murder cops no outrage at all. I'm talking about the hammer and sickle, of course. Given the insane amount of death, destruction and suffering communism has caused globally, you'd think there'd be more than a few people traumatized by brazen displays of the creepy symbol.

But not only does hardly anyone in Oz -- of the left or right -- get upset about it, it's even seen as waaay cool by a lot of today's right-on trendsetters. Why, you can even get a spiffy rainbow version to whop on a singlet, like this white male here.

Why the double standard, you may ask? Well, it's that ol' rule "no enemies to the left" of course. So that makes it all okay.

FFS. What a joke.

Their ABC's The Drum is Q and A Lite

As we all know, cultural Marxists are forever peddling bollocks. There's almost never a moment when they actually tell the truth. And when you catch them out telling porkies, they never, ever 'fess up to clear the slate. They just dig in even harder!

Take how they define freedom of speech. Of course they say they're all for it. But what they really mean is, they want the right to shout other people down.

You see this a lot on university campuses in America, and increasingly here in Oz. They quack on about how opposing viewpoints create a dangerous environment; make the students feel unsafe. They say that speech itself is violence. It's so pathetic you almost can't believe it. 

Then, when a conservative speaker does actually lob to politely make her point, the lefties go utterly spacko and trash the joint. They are clearly more violent than the so-called haters whose words and ideas they simply cannot bear to hear. 

This is of course completely obvious to any sane, rational adult. But many leftist quackademics are incapable of perceiving this massive contradiction, which shows how dim they are. That's sad -- particularly when you consider that as so-called educators they're tasked with making the yoof smarter. "Clever country" my arse! 

That said, some of these activist "professors" are well aware of how absurdly inconsistent their behaviour is. But they just don't give a rat's. For them, power trumps truth. They believe that as long as they get to boss people around, any lie is justified. It's a truly sinister attitude. 

To be fair, most lefties are not quite as extreme as this. They can and do let their opponents speak on their turf and are generally civil about it. Still, they make damn sure that they're pulling the strings. They choose the subjects to be discussed, and will ensure the moderator is on their side (while purporting to be objective, natch). If one of the hated righties is about to drop a truth bomb, he'll try to cut her off or change the topic pronto!

They also make sure that lefties outnumber the conservatives. And they invariably label the latter as such, while not doing the same for their fellow travellers (who are often radical activists if not utterly unhinged moonbats) instead describing them merely as experts, writers, commentators, etc -- zif they're sage-like and totally unbiased! FFS. What a joke. 

Q and A is a perfect example of this tried and trusted leftist tactic of stacking the decks in their favour, while purporting to be fair and balanced. (Please check out some of my previous takes on individual episodes.)

Their ABC has another, more low key panel "debate" show called The Drum. Its politically correct bias is not as obvious as it is on Q and A. But it's still there.

In recent weeks this bias has become an issue on Twitter, with the show's host Julia Baird tweeting this:

Maybe Baird is actually being honest here. Perhaps she really does think that she's playing with a straight bat.

But the fact that she touts her post-grad qualifications in her Twitter profile is significant, IMO. It's like she's saying she's smarter than other tweeps.

And this smug, superior attitude is common on campuses across Oz. Tertiary education here is almost totally dominated by cultural Marxism, an elitist ideology if ever there was one. Campus "thinkers" see it as their duty to figure out what's best for the plebs, then get them to go along with their daffy utopian plans whether they like it or not.

While some sane adults do appear on The Drum, they are clearly outnumbered by the sneering hipsters, many of whom are full-time quackademics. Some are broadcasters with that background who've spent years poncing about in ivory towers congratulating themselves for their compassionate far-sightedness. Take Peter Van Onselen for example:

Wow. Talk about intellectual hubris.

He's like Tim Flannery -- another quackademic who's forever predicting the future, only to be regularly confounded by reality.

You've gotta wonder why he has a such a daffy view. Seems to me that because he dearly wants this child-brained utopian vision to come true -- or at least sees it as some kind of moral advancement -- then he believes it's gonna happen for sure.

But one thing you learn as you get older (if you're paying attention, that is) is that people tend to do what they want to do, not what you think they should do. And you can never know for sure what'll happen even in the relative short term. Even a coupla years ago, who would have thought that the UK, that bastion of democracy and free speech, would now be imprisoning those reporting on organized rape gangs to maintain the lies of political correctness?

But even if PVO is correct, and the so-called progressives continue to increase their power over us, he forgets to consider the effects of intersectionality. That is, if animal rights rule then plant rights'll follow, natch. So even veganism will be verboten in time. The woke'll chant: "Meat is murder! Hommus is hommuside!" Eventually everyone'll be so dang hangry they'll all go back to BBQs ...

In any case I shouldn't be too harsh on Van Onselen. He's by no means the silliest of The Drum's guests. Take Vanessa "Van" Badham. She seems to be on there every second week, peddling her trademark brand of sour, self-obsessed wrong-headedness. And she always seems to be wearing weird Carmen Miranda style headgear. One time it looked like she'd stuffed a giant half-eaten doughnut in her locks, no kidding!

One can only guess why she dons such OTT garb. Her verbose and pompous pronouncements are ridiculous enough already ... Maybe it's a feminist version of Pirate Pete's trademark red bandana? She's changed her name to sound more masculine ("Van" -- sounds like "man", geddit?) so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. 

Hanson-hater Burnside goes bonkers over "blackshirts"

Nothing that your local leftie luvvies love more than sneering at "rednecks", particularly ones from Queensland -- or the "deep north" as they like to call it.

I always find their use of that particular term kinda funny. It comes from America, after all. Given that they routinely confuse countries with cultures, isn't that a clear case of "cultural appropriation"? 

Anyhoo, you often see this progressive racism on Twitter. Earlier this week, for example, Julian Burnside QC indulged in some of it during Q and A.

Take this cheap shot, in which he sneeringly mocks Pauline Hanson's accent.

Explicitly ridiculing a person's speech is cruel because it's something they can't change. It's like making fun of someone with a stutter or a lisp. Not a good look generally. And it's made worse here because this guy is forever fobbing himself off as "Australia's Most Compassionate Man".

And it's so classist! Because Ms Hanson doesn't speak with the clipped elegance of the eminent Melbourne Queen's Counsel and his tertiary educated ilk, he enjoys making jokes at her expense. Like so many of the latte Left, he is basically an elitist snob. Ol' "Crown Jules" really oughta check his privilege.

He's also not the sharpest pencil in the box (or should that be the "loudest gavel"?). Earlier on, he tweeted this about Ms Hanson:

A question for my "learned" friend: Mate, if Pauline Hanson's accent is so, er, boganistically "incomprehensible" to your oh so delicate ear, then how the fark do you actually know that what she's saying is genuinely "racist"?

C'mon Julian. Please explain.

Crown Jules cranked out more unwitting comedy as Q and A wore on. He asked this question about plods' uniforms: 

I'm now living in Sydney, so I'm not sure what exact hue the Victorian constabulary's clobber is. Several helpful tweeps suggested that they wore dark blue, not black. 

In any case, I don't think it's a stretch to conclude that this was another example of Crown Jules' rather worrying tendency to see fascism everywhere. (There was that notorious recent retweet of his about Peter Dutton, remember.)

Seems his febrile, luvvie mind was bubbling with images of jackbooted goons employed by the state to stamp out dissent with extreme prejudice. (So funny, because if the Victorian Police are reminiscent of another force it's not Mussolini's blackshirts, but the the Keystone Cops!)

If you think my conclusion is OTT then check out this other tweet of his:

Gawd. Talk about paranoid ...

Not to mention completely and utterly wrongheaded: Like all regressive lefties, Burnside is gullible enough to think that Parkland shooting sleb David Hogg and his teen team of avenging angels are actually the real deal!

Sooo obvious to any sane, rational adult that they are actually the mere puppets of wily Democrats and fellow "liberals" way older and more powerful than they are. Hogg is definitely more deserving of the "Nazi" tag than Dutton could ever be.

As that other -- far more intelligent and well informed -- Aussie Julian remarked, zealously pushing for gun control is a hallmark of fascist regimes across the globe.

I think I'll be calling my favourite latte leftie Julian Blindside from now on ...
