Stop Me Before I Vote Again. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. May 30, 2015. Laura Kipnis, a very engaging writer, has the mixed good and bad fortune of being a tenured professor there. She has recently found herself in hot water. About the hugger-mugger Star Chamber proceedings to which she was subsequently subjected by her employers. This shitstorm of campus imbecility around trigger warnings, harassment, discrimination, comfort, safety and what not, like all social phenomena, is over...

Stop Me Before I Vote Again. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Social Construction & Demolition, Inc. June 14, 2015. The Rachel Dolezal story. Has provided me some innocent merriment for the last few days. For those pillar saints who haven’t yet heard, Rachel has been making a living for some years by impersonating a black woman. Recently her parents went public, swearing up and down that she’s ‘Caucasian’ — an Azerbaijani, perhaps? Perhaps some, at least, of the animus against Rachel a...

Stop Me Before I Vote Again. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. April 28, 2015. In connection with recent events in Baltimore, a number of my friends, both real 3-D friends and the facebunk variety, have observed, in more or less this form of words, “Of course I don’t condone riots, but…”. Of course they’re gonna riot.’. Does the language of ‘condoning’ suggest some sort of unitary agency, some single collective will we can blame for bad decisions? Zionists, by the way, love this line of...

The Public/Private Surveillance Partnership - Schneier on Security
https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/05/the_publicpriva.html
The Public/Private Surveillance Partnership. It's no secret that we're monitored continuously on the Internet. Some of the company names you know, such as Google and Facebook. Others hide in the background as you move about the Internet. There are browser plugins that show you who is tracking you. One Atlantic editor found 105 companies tracking him. Beyond the dreams of Orwell. It's all corporate data, compiled and correlated, bought and sold. And increasingly, the government is doing the buying. CISPA,...

Stop Me Before I Vote Again. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. King Billy; or, The Way Of All Democrats. May 1, 2015. Great White Hope Bill de Blasio, like all his predecessors in recent years, has become a mere tool. Of the Police Department:. The whole piece is well worth reading, if you have a strong stomach. Of course they’re human, these people — in a sense; and so they have to justify themselves to themselves. King Billy exhibits the classic approach:. Mr de Blasio grew visibly fr...

I don’t think my friend is a particularly political guy — at least, the topic has never come up before — but I would be amazed if he were a right-winger. In fact, I would bet he isn’t. Is this just the tyranny of received opinion? Or does it reflect a certain factitious sense of elite status among relatively educated liberal folks? Or am I just over-interpreting? To be clear,...

Hate speech? | Stop Me Before I Vote Again
http://stopmebeforeivoteagain.org/2015/05/hate-speech
Stop Me Before I Vote Again. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. May 11, 2015. Parse the title as you will — analogous to ‘string cheese’ or ‘got milk? Our neighbors in the Great White North lately seem determined to beat us USniks at our own crazy game. The Harper government is signaling its intention to use hate crime laws against Canadian advocacy groups that encourage boycotts of Israel. If they really mean it this would imply that advocating BDS constitutes ‘hate speech’. Going furth...
