It took several decades before my bullshit detector really started to go into the red zone over the alleged Global Warming crisis.
The experience with the Coronic Plague happened in the span of weeks, not decades. But along the way, I started to notice that exactly the same pattern of BULLSHIT seemed to be polluting the media and political atmosphere at an exponential rate.
Whereas countless billions (trillions?) have been squandered by politicians over the last three decades on a changing climate, we are now seeing a similar squandering of TRILLIONS in just a couple of weeks.
You never let a serious crisis go to waste,” said Emanuel. “And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you could not do before.”
Trudeau as dictator? That is a real crisis.
As I listened to Karl Denninger's podcast just now, I was struck by what he said about the data not fitting the model in the case of the Diamond Princess, and yet, the so-called "experts" ignored that fact and continued to scream that the model was still correct, hence the dire predictions of global mass death from this flu mutation.
The data doesn't fit the model.
The data doesn't fit the model.
Of course, as I heard that, I thought to myself, "the data didn't fit the model with the climate change hoax either."
And then around the 43-minute mark, Karl says exactly the same thing.
I think he's worth listening to.

Personal Note:
The Cuba Experience
I visited Cuba back around 1995. It was only the second time I had ever been in a country where communism was visible in its purer form.
I was at a resort near Camguay, I think it was in a town called Playa Santa Lucia. And among other things, one thing that caught my attention was the lack of toiletries in the public washroom in the resort I stayed at.
I went to a beach bar with my dad in the resort. He ordered a steak dinner from the open kitchen behind the bar. While he was eating it, I visited to the washroom. It was disgusting. No soap, no paper towels, and no toilet paper.
Quick facts:
Every year an estimated 290,000 to 650,000 people die in the world due to complications from seasonal influenza (flu) viruses.
This figure corresponds to 795 to 1,781 deaths per day due to the seasonal flu.
Global death count from COVID-19 as of 14:08 (ET) on March 25, 2020 - 20,497
Global death count from COVID-19 as of 23:56 (ET) on March 26, 2020 - 24,086
It strikes me as being a little bit, something or other, now that the term "social distancing" has become a thing.
Because this is something I started wondering (worrying) about in 2007. It had already been happening for over a decade.
One advantage of being old(er) is that you have the benefit of "lived experience." You know what life was like before the internet. People communicated face to face. That was the norm.
Norms change.
It was once "normal" to enslave people based upon the colour of their skin. Then it became normal to enslave anyone who produced economic goods and services, regardless of their skin colour.
For the Boomers, face to face protocols lasted for about four decades. Then dial-up bulletin boards started to get clogged up by people wanting to "chat" instead of just calling each other on the fucking phone. Social distancing had started happening.
So I had been thinking about the growing phenomenon of social distancing long before I learned to put it in those words.
"Social Networking," has paradoxically caused social distancing.
The term, "basement dweller," became part of our lexicon.
In my day, NO ONE would spend all of their time sitting in basements.
Except those with serious mental disorders. (!)
Which begs the question, is insanity merely a sane response to an insane situation?
Even though I think most of the responses from my favourite institution have been totally disproportionate to this new variant of the common cold, I do see one silver lining.
Most of the resources commandeered by the various governments to "fight" the Chinese virus will be misallocated.
This is an iron law of political economy. For example, they will go hog-wild buying respirators when, perhaps the money spent would be better spent on Hydroxychloroquine. The result will be typical of socialist lived experience; not enough resources to allocate to real solutions.
A bunch of rusting respirators. A shortage of drugs.
Pots and pans being donated to meet steel production quotas, etc.
Pigs being slaughtered by the millions and left to rot, in order to support pork prices. That sort of thing. (Then they'll print more money.)
When governments are put in control of the disposition of all resources, inanimate and man-made, they end up wasting them. As Milton Friedman said, "People are never as careful with other people's money as they are with their own." Do you disagree?
Many, if not all, of the FEW apparent exceptions to socialist waste and failure will be emphasized as evidence of the success of socialism, as calving glaciers are touted as evidence of CO2 induced global warming. But when socialism operates on the back of a capitalist base, it can be made to perform miracles, like the socialist medicare regimes in most Western countries. The costs can be fudged, hidden, and politicized. The enterprise won't collapse because of its irrationality because it is "backed" by taxpayers.
It can even begin to deliver a product that has zero, or negative real value. The old Soviet Union might have boasted that they had universal and free medical care but the people weren't fooled, it was just as available as all of the other goods people living in capitalist countries took for granted, NOT.
The public education system in Ontario is entirely based upon the communist model.
And under all variants of communism there is fear.
Think about the degree of fear this Coronaville celebration has generated in some people. I have seen people wearing surgical masks in the supermarkets. And just LOOK at how willing they are to embrace communistic solutions to the perceived threat.
From the perspective of a free market purist, it's truly frightening.
But it really must be striking fear into the hearts of the teacher's unions and their membership. A warming planet doesn't mean that EVERYONE is going to suffer. But a mass insanity response to a flu variant has already shown us how MILLIONS of people have been harmed.
But like I said, maybe it's not all bad. Just as the end of the Dark Ages roughly ended with the Bubonic Plague, the era of socialist education may be ushered out by our new, kinder, gentler plague.
"Ontario is launching a new Learn at Home portal."
Oh! Oh!
A "learn at home portal." The internet version of homeschooling?
Imagine that same headline if there were no Corona holiday.
The teacher's unions would be GOING BALLISTIC!!!
But they can't say fuck all now. Social distancing is becoming the new normal. The classroom is, therefore, obsolete.
Because it won't end with the Coronavirus, virtual homeschooling has gotten its foot in the door.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste."
May the left eat their own words.
What if Ontario's new Learn at Home portal turns out to be a stunning success?
And it turns out we didn't need those teachers after all?
I started to see reports from other people suggesting the censorship was a glitch.
Glitch or not though, it does show us exactly what things have come to. One of my Twitter accounts was blocked as a result of a sarcastic remark I made, and remains so as long as they think they will get a confession and an apology from me.
I've already self-quarantined most of the comments I would otherwise make on CBCs website given my experiences with that Sovietized information and opinion venue. The reports of demonetizations, and now summary executions of certain videos on YouTube are a daily affair.
Glitch or no glitch, we are now living in a censorious nightmare. Some reports I saw said that the glitch was the result of human censors being sent home for the Coronaville holiday and the robots decided to have a party. That doesn't make me feel much better.
What I am afraid it will come down to is a return to the dark days of writing letters to the editor and having some human censor there decide whether your two cents shall be permitted to see the light of day.
On the bright side, imagine what if might have been like of our roads were heavily populated with self-driving cars!
Tuesday, March 17, 2020.
At about 7:15 this evening, I tried to post a link to Facebook and I received the message, "Your post couldn't be shared because it goes against our Community Standards," and the text I wrote disappeared into the ether.
This was the first time I ever received such an intervention from Facebook.
I prefaced the link with some remarks about the brief respite we've all had from the deluge of climate propaganda as the virus scare has reached epidemic proportions.
This morning, for example, I wrote on Facebook, with respect to the reactions to the virus panic, "Greta's dream world is becoming a reality."
At about 7 p.m., I watched James Corbett's newest report, "CORONAVIRUS AND CLIMATE CHANGE."
It's very interesting, so I decided to share it on Facebook only to discover that this video goes against Facebook's "community standards."
Even though I am a boomer, I haven't yet felt any real fear over this virus, but after I watched Corbett's report my blood ran cold. And then when I got silenced by Facebook, I had fire running in my veins.
It feels like the walls are really closing in.
For anyone who is interested, I have embedded the offending video here,
I think the idea of converting one-way streets to two-way probably started out as a brain fart during some boring committee meeting. Someone probably just blurted it out, and because no one else had ever thought of it before, it was misinterpreted as a stoke of genius, rather than the more likely explanation that no one had ever thought of it before because it was a bona fide non-issue.
It is almost impossible to find a defense of one-way streets these days.
Back in 1966, when I was about twelve years old, I used to be part of a street gang. We called ourselves, "The Creek's Raiders." The name was derived from our hangout and smoking refuge at the intersection of "the Creek" and "the Black Road" which existed on the south side of Mohawk Road in Hamilton before that area was developed. It was roughly in the area of what is now the south end of West 18th St, Lynbrook Drive, and Elgar Avenue.
I am not proud of it, but some of our activities involved mischief like "Knocking on Ginger," throwing snowballs at cars, petty vandalism, and lighting the occasional brush fire. (In those days, no one blamed the fires on climate change but there was little doubt about them being caused by human activity.)
Violence was rare, as were religious, racial, or gender issues. Even back then there were skin color gradients among us but no one gave a shit. Moms stayed home and dads went to work. Our world was pretty monochromatic. People said, "Merry Christmas" without looking over their shoulders. There was social cohesion. Diversity was a fact of life barely worth mentioning.
There was no internet in those days. Television broadcasts, on the seven stations we had, ended at about midnight. Other than shift workers, people were asleep at night and awake during the day. When not causing trouble, we busied ourselves building and renovating tree forts, building and floating rafts in the creek during the spring thaw, fishing at the Grand River in the summer, playing football, and baseball, and hiking.
We also did a lot of cycling. Though the seeds of Communist ideology had already taken firm root in Canada, they had not yet started to grow like weeds. We didn't realize that we needed "help" from politicians to get around on our bikes. We just did it. Therefore, the lack of bicycle lane traffic obstructions was not seen as an impediment. In effect, we took advantage of the plethora of unofficial bike lanes that did, and still do, festoon the city.
Hamilton was known as "The Ambitious City." I don't even know, off the top of my head, what it calls itself today.
Reflecting back on the puerile thrills I used to get from the juvenile misanthropic activities we engaged in, I realize how truly innocent we all were. Especially when it came to pointless destruction. The damage we caused was trivial compared to the stunts being pulled by Canadian politicians at all levels today.
"Ambition," and "industrial" have become dirty words.
The good news is that the members of the Creek's Raiders eventually grew up. Little did we know or expect that our puny activities would be institutionalized by our politicians once the seed of communistic thinking had begun to grow and flourish in Canada, and the West in general.
Now I am old and my attitudes have really changed. I find myself extremely irritated by those idiots who drive around with stereos in their cars that generate seismic disturbances on city streets just to bug people, and by those idiots who get paid by taxpayers to constantly invent other ways of aggravating people who drive cars.
I remember how childishly proud I felt back in 1967 when one of my friends reported that the West Mountain reportedly had more mischief complaints than any other part of the city. That would have been us. Today, as I watch the City of Hamilton being re-engineered as a result of the gang that populates our Clown Hall, I can only imagine how some of the "decision makers" feel when they see massive traffic jams in the core and how they too must be thinking, "that would have been us." I imagine arsonists also experience the same emotion.

Two Ways to Go Insane
Recent Hamilton Spectator Headline:
Push for two-way streets gains momentum
How Stupid Can People Be!
The downtown core in the city of Hamilton has been declining for some years now.
Take a walk along King Street and you can't miss the depressing sights of the
stores
and small businesses.... once bustling with commercial activity...now sitting
vacant...
with no customers... and only ghosts at the registers.
Sure, there are a few places still hobbling along, here on King Street.... as
the photo (right)
shows. But anyone who has lived in Hamilton for a while knows it used to be
better....
much better
!
Well, have no fear Hamilton, things are going to get better. You see, we have
a whole
crew of brain surgeon types working on new plans to revitalize the core!
What are some of the ideas these brain surgeon types are coming up with?
In an article in the Hamilton
Spectator
Ken Peters
gives us a great example:
"Hamilton politicians believe a call to make King, James and John two-way streets again is headed in the right direction.
The return of two-way traffic to the three main thoroughfares after nearly 40 years would occur by this summer if a citizens' lobby group has its way. The streets have featured one-way traffic since 1958.
A recently formed Hamilton Downtown Two Way Streets Group won support yesterday from the city's planning and development committee for its proposal.
The group says it may make a case for turning Main Street into a two-way thoroughfare in future.
The move to two-way traffic is expected to create greater traffic congestion in the core, thus creating a more pleasant atmosphere for pedestrians while improving storefront visibility and tourism opportunities."
Well whaddaya think of THAT gem! Two-way traffic is expected to create greater traffic congestion in the core, thus creating a more pleasant atmosphere for pedestrians!
Yummy.... all those engines idling away... yup should create a mighty pleasant atmosphere for everyone.
You can just hear Fran calling up her girlfreind Megan to go shopping downtown, "Megan, I just heard the on the radio.... traffic's backed up for miles downtown... it's creating a really pleasant atmosphere for pedestrians. Why don't we go and do some shopping!"
Well, if greater traffic congenstion is called for why stop at two-way streets? Why not quit repairing the roads!? Let those potholes proliferate. Imagine what a combination of two-way streets
and potholes will do to revitalize the core!
Why, no doubt pedestrians will find the experience so damn pleasant they will begin to have orgasms. Hell, if the potholes don't cause orgasms then a few strategically placed road construction sites with cranes and huge craters should do the trick. Hamilton could become a tourist Mecca what with flowers on the traffic islands and massive, hair ripping, traffic jams in the core.
(Update, 2020: The city has indeed adopted this idea of pothole proliferation by creating hundreds, if not thousands, of artificial potholes, A.K.A. - speed bumps on city streets.)
"I don't know of a successful downtown in the world that isn't congested"
Alderman Marvin Caplan said in voicing his support for the concept.
Let's see if we can expand upon Mr. Caplan's thinking here. Mr. Caplan observes that successful downtowns, at least the ones he knows about, suffer from congestion. He concludes that congestion must be the reason for the success of these downtown areas and happily
supports proposals to deliberately create congestion in Hamilton's core! See what I mean about brain surgeons?
I used to go to a lot of Rock concerts back in the 1970's. At every one there were line-ups and crowds of people jostling to get in to see the band. In other words, there was a lot of human congestion. In accordance with Mr. Caplan's thinking we can suppose then, these
concerts were not successful because of Pink Floyd or Super Tramp or the Rolling Stones or what have you. No, these concerts were successful because of all the human congestion that occurred around them.
"I can think of no successful Rock concert without crowds" we can easily imagine him saying. Clearly then, if the line-ups and crowds were there, even Fishin' Wire Eddy could become a flipping millionaire! This, of course, begs the question, "If we want to make
Fishin' Wire Eddy a millionaire how do we attract the crowds?"
"I don't know of a successful downtown in the world that isn't congested" --Marvin Caplan
Create congestion and everyone will rush downtown to visit places like the ones shown here. These are just a couple of examples of the community which extends
over most of Hamilton's Barton Street. Barton Street never had to worry about losing it's "vitality" due to efficient traffic flow... it has been a two way street all along.
(Update, 2020: Barton Street hasn't changed much since I took those photos back in the 1990s despite an additional twenty + years of rejuvinative two-way traffic flow.)
Can anyone guess where Bob "Flower Power" Morrow perches on this issue?
The Spectator says
Mayor Bob Morrow supports the proposal to revert the three streets to two-way traffic.
"I am convinced on the philosophical side and from the nuts-and-bolts side that it makes a whole lot of sense. I think it is one good ingredient to the recovery of the downtown, and this could
be a tremendous shot in the arm."
Maybe we can get Hamilton's core to look something like this, (left) section of Barton Street, ey Bob? Just another example of the "Nuts and Bolts" of two way traffic. Perhaps Sheila Baby will turn the
"Closed" sign around.
And really.....the philosophical side? Excuse me but is this guy for real? What is the "philosophical" side of this issue? If anyone knows please clue
me in! I suspect it relates somehow to the fashionable leftist notion that the private automobile is evil and any government action to make driving unpleasant is therefore laudable regardless of whether screwing up traffic revitalizes so much as a single abandoned warehouse.
The Spectator article continues:
Group member Helen Kirkpatrick, a founding member of the Greater Downtown Development Corp., a defunct advisory group, says the two-way plan has the backing of the Hamilton-Halton Homebuilders Association, Durand Neighbourhood Association, Hamilton Society of Architects
and International Village Business Improvement Area. The proposal was a key element of the Hamilton Downtown Ideas Charrette report presented to city council in October by the Hamilton Society of Architects.
Another shot of the vibrant two-way Barton Street (right) leads one to wonder whether any of the members of the groups mentioned above have ever visited a two way street.
Jonathan Diamonds, evidently, is located on a section of Barton Street that was not sufficiently congested even though traffic does indeed travel in both directions in front of it. Perhaps the owner should have requested a stop sign in front of his property. Or maybe he should have hired a fake road construction crew to hang around out front having coffee breaks after digging a gaping hole in the road. Surely then a whole army of frustrated drivers would jump out of their cars to take advantage of the pleasant atmosphere for pedestrians thus created... and they'd also be overcome by a sudden urge to do some shopping, no doubt!
(Update, 2020: Many of Hamilton's residents are sorely disappointed in the Ford government's decision to cancel the LRT. It would have created a really pleasant atmosphere for both drivers and pedestrians for another full decade, not to mention all of the lost opportunities for congestion-induced shopping sprees.)
Ms Kirkpatrick said civic politicians must choose whether they want the core to be a street-friendly place or a thoroughfare for quick-moving vehicular traffic. "It comes down to a choice. Are our people a priority or are cars a priority?"
What the heck is "street friendly" supposed to mean? It's probably just another Spec typo. She probably said "people friendly." Who cares... it's a load of hogwash anyway.
It really does seem as though everyone who advocates a return to two-way traffic clog suffers from mental caplitis (irritation of the caplan wrought by inflammation of the colon). Ms. Kirkpatrick clearly
sees quick-moving traffic and "street-friendliness" or "people friendliness" as mutually exclusive values. Slow traffic down, she seems to believe, and hoards of happy pedestrians will suddenly
descend upon the core and start buying stuff.
The boards will come off the storefronts and the bums will find other hangouts as everyone rushes from Limeridge Mall, Eastgate Mall, the hundreds (thousands and counting?) of new establishments on the mountain and in surrounding communities.... as everyone rushes from these places into the core of Hamilton to take advantage of the
pleasant atmosphere
for pedestrians created by traffic hell!
"It comes down to a choice. Are our people a priority or are cars a priority?" -- Helen Kirkpatrick
"We see this proposal as not an end point but part of the beginning to the revitalization of the downtown."
Yeah right.... as the pictures here clearly show... the "revitalization" of Barton street started eons ago. I guess they forgot to go to the next step. Or maybe they would be satisfied with that vibrant community in the photo... the one in the black hat... taking advantage of the pleasant atmosphere
and "street friendliness" here on one of Hamilton's longest two-way streets.
What's the next bright idea? A "Johnny on the Spot" on every corner?
You should be be able to find more reports on the two way street issue by visiting the Hamilton Spectator Home Page
And remember, if you get stuck in some horrendous traffic snarl in Hamilton next summer, just get out of your car as fast as you can. The sooner you become a pedestrian the sooner you will benefit from the
pleasant atmosphere.
If you can find a place to park that doesn't cause an
unpleasant atmosphere in your wallet....
Update: January 2020
In the end, the only time you can seriously expect a politician to fulfill their promises is if they tell you, up-front, that their intention is to screw things up. That is because, even though they don't seem to be able to efficiently repair pot-holes, nor prevent sewage leaks, nor control the climate, when it comes to screwing things up, they are the undisputed masters.
They said they were going to screw up Hamilton traffic and by gosh, they have been stunningly successful.
Update: January 13, 2020:
Hamilton's Industrial Devolution roars on.
This just in. Funny how it came to me AFTER I posted this blog entry and a new video about the Bay St. fiasco.
The vandalism is set to get a whole lot worse in 2020.
"CBC Fifth Estate’s Passport Babies producer says focus was on the shadow industry + health care burdens. I find it mind-boggling that they negatively portrayed a demographic that is the target of xenophobes in B.C. and were oblivious to its implications:" 8:58 AM - 10 Jan 2020
In this screed, Shree blames concerns over foreigners sucking Canadian taxpayers dry via birth tourism on, wait for it.... racism. In her mind, of course, it's all about racism. Shreee says, "In this current build-a-wall era, media portrayals are allowing an insignificant unknown number of legal but controversial births to become proof positive of the scamming foreigner stereotype."
As if an unknown number of legal scam births could in any way be indicative of foreigners taking advantage of Canadian socialism.
More from Shree:
"Feel dispirited by the anti-Blackness of brown folks who do the job of whiteness. I’m going to leave it at that for now." 10:54 AM Jan 09, 2020
Of course, she leaves it to her fans to point out that the practice is "racist." And if I pronounce yogurt as "yogurt" with a soft "O" what does that make me?
Also reminds me of the ridicule I've received from many Americans over the way we Canadians say, "roof." --- Woof! Got to love it, ey?
"Study by @KanikaSamuels examined nearly 6,500 cases between 2007 to 2013 for differences in how a young person was treated for two common offences: simple drug possession or minor theft charges."
6:07 AM - 7 Jan 2020
From the Star - "But, she found, the outcomes varied with the race of the young accused. Black youth — who at the time of the study represented about six per cent of Durham Region’s youth population but 14 per cent of those caught for these offences — were charged in 19 per cent of cases, whereas white youth were charged in 16 per cent of cases and youth of all other racial groups were charged 17 per cent of the time."
I'm not going to even try to analyse those numbers because that would be racist.
In response to, "I don't think anyone can seriously argue that if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's last name wasn't 'Trudeau' he'd be PM today. The Liberal party certainly wouldn't have chosen Justin Smith as their leader, given his resume at the time."
"The truth is, what we know as "The Western World" was built on, among others, the blood of enslaved Africans, indentured Indians, and the mass slaughter of Indigenous peoples all over the planet."
4:10 PM - 4 Jan 2020
If Mr. Domise were honestly interested in "the truth," he would try to broaden his knowledge of world history a little bit. Perhaps then he would know that victims of slavery, indentured servitude, and mass slaughter are by no means restricted to Africans and Indians.
Furthermore, his implied claim that all of that which makes the West a desirable destination for black and brown people from across the globe was because they actually built the west is too stupid to be stupid. So where does that leave Mr. Domise? Stupid? Or dishonest?
I mean, seriously, if they built the West, why on earth did they neglect to build their own countries?
For example, in my earlier working years I worked in factories, the building trades, and in the Alberta oil fields. I can drive around Hamilton today and see buildings that contain my DNA - from my blood and sweat. Among these are:
50, 60, and 70 Jerome Cres.
70 and 75 Glenburn
75, 85, and 95 Barlake
44, 50 Glen Rd.
150 Charlton Ave. E.
to name just a few.
While going to college from 1981-1983 I worked on a framing crew building houses, mostly in Burlington, in the area of Upper Middle Road. Those were long days in the hot sun. By the end of those summers, I was a brown person building a small part of the West.
There were very few, if any, black and brown people building these homes in "the West" at the time, but I bet there are a lot of black and brown people living in them today.
I guess I was one of those unidentified "others" who helped build the West.
To hear ingrates and perpetual belly-achers like Andray Domise smear every productive white person who ever lived is a bit much. Don't you think?
Mr Domise is a person of color who has discovered a way to make a living by riding the wave of liberal inspired ethnomasochism in Canada. Whomever the black people who "built the West" were, we can be certain of one thing, Andray Domise wasn't one of them. He has, however made an apparently successful career out of tearing the West down by cashing in on his status as a victim.
"From 1968 to 1972, the World Trade Center was built by 500 men, 200 of whom were Mohawks.
Remember “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper,” the famous 1932 photo of 11 men sitting on a steel beam high above Manhattan?
“As many as four of these men are Mohawks,” Lemmon says."
I suppose if he could get away with it, Mr. Domise would claim that the rest were enslaved Africans and indentured Indians.... among others.
"From 1968 to 1972, the World Trade Center was built by 500 men, 200 of whom were Mohawks". -- (source)
Matthew Green
Matthew is clever enough to avoid putting his own thoughts into words on Twitter so I have little to report on him at this time.
You can get some indication of where his sympathies lie, however, by observing who he likes to reTweet on his feed. If it stirs up racial animosity, he's all in. If it stokes envy, he's in. If it favors foreigners, he's in.
One thing that gives me a chuckle is the frequency with which, in conversation with random acquaintances, or passengers when I was still driving a cab people would reply, "Oh, you mean the racist?" whenever I mentioned his name.
Desmond Cole
Desmond Cole is another person of color who discovered that he could make a living as a race-baiter in Canada rather than doing any actual work.
The criticism applied to other prominent race-baiters in this essay apply equally to him.

I made the prohibited remark in response to another very successful race-baiter on Twitter who calls himself "StanceGrounded" as if to imply he adheres to some set of immutable principles the nature of which, outside of his obvious hatred of everything and everyone Western and white, are impossible to discern.
Curiously, he has a pinned Tweet at the top of the porcine provender he serves up daily to his schlop-gobbling groupies showing himself heroically being escorted out of an apparent Trump rally for yelling, "All Mexicans are rapists." Go figger!
Also, impossible to discern is who he really is. In addition to the "StanceGrounded" fake name his Twitter handle is "@_SJPeace_." His list of followers is impressive, running at about 340,000 as of this morning, yet I have been unable to find anything out about who he really is using the usual internet search tools.
Mr. Grounded had posted a video of a young white girl throwing a hissy-fit after opening a Christmas present and finding a Black doll.
I've been around long enough to know that kids can throw tantrums for a myriad of reasons. For example, perhaps the little girl had requested a specific toy and, upon opening this gift and discovering it was not what she asked for, she freaked out.
But according to Mr. Stance, "This was an experiment conducted to see if the racism they teach their daughter actually had been taught." I did another internet search to see if Mr. Stance's claim had any sources and came up blank. Already familiar with his schtick, I surmised that he had simply imagined it to be true.
Mr. Grounded went further,
"Its these types of parents ARE WHY RACISM STILL EXISTS TODAY.
White superiority, white supremacy is TAUGHT.
These are the parents that should be separated from their children and detained.
(Also if you don't know a muslim or have a friend that is, u do know. follow)"
(-- emphasis: mine.)
Without any apparent evidence, Mr. Grounded calls for family separation and detention. Without presenting a shred of evidence he has already pronounced the family guilty and prescribed the punishment. In my book, that's just a mild form of lynching.
Hence my sarcastic, and ultimately prohibited reply,
"Why stop at ICE style family separation?
Hang the parents from the nearest lamppost and send the child to one of those slave markets in Pakistan.
(Also if you don't know a muslim or have a friend that is, u do know. follow)
Twitter has told me that the only way I will be allowed back into their left-wing echo chamber is if I recant my Tweet.
Since then, if I try to log on to Twitter I am greeted by the following screen,
It should be obvious to all but the most brain-dead liberal that my comment did not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease, unless the reader is stupid enough to think I was seriously advocating the more severe punishments for this white family than those Mr. Grounded was prescribing.
