Wait, what? A MSM site calls SJWs for the loonies they are

http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenti...ea113ff0fa

I suspect this is clickbait for the right-wing crowd, so let me provide the salient quotes:

Quote:Quote:

Social Justice Warriors (SJWs), groups of mostly young, mostly university students, are waging a bitter war with the cultural establishment of the nation and it’s turning increasingly nasty.

Those who proudly adopt the title express a mix of sensitivity to social issues coupled with an aggressive and almost militant outrage at any perceived injustice. But their incendiary tactics have sparked a huge backlash from professors, journalists and commentators around the country as a culture war that has been bubbling under the surface for some time is on the verge of exploding.

Those on the other side accuse SJWs of using fear mongering and bullying to police language, enforce censorship and unfairly discredit those who deviate from their position.

“If there is any silver lining in this dark cloud, it’s that the social-justice faith is so grim, so angry, and so arrogant that it can prosper only through intimidation and coercion,” conservative columnist David French wrote in the National Review this week.

The American political landscape is sharply divided with those on the fringes commanding a vast portion of commentary. While Australians may have viewed the extreme right wing as holding a monopoly over membership to the mad hatters, the SJWs, considered to be on the extreme left, seem intent on balancing the scale.

There then follows a citation of the sort of SJW stupidity we've seen in the recent past, most of which are caught under the Campus Protest Thread but also featuring the silliness of yoga cultural appropriation. The Yale protest in particular with the young cunt screaming at Christakis features strongly here.

The main observations I had were these:

(1) The knocking-knees of university lecturers looms large in this article. This seems only to have gotten traction now that leftie university academics, having largely created the Frankencunt monster that we deal with on a daily basis, are being attacked by their own bastard creation and are squealing like stuck pigs about it to anyone who'll listen.

(2) Very, very unusual that this article made it onto a news.com website in Prison Australia. I see this as another indicator that the Overton Window has shifted or is shifting and that the narrative is slowly starting to turn back to the right. This sort of article would have been verboten on a MSM site say, prior to the Jackie Coakley hoax and Rolling Stone's retraction. Even then I think it's the Yale protest that seems to have tipped the scale.

(3) Best quote of the day comes from the (PhD) Dr Everett Piper, President of a private Christian university in Okalahoma: "This is not a day care. It's a university." You might not agree with his Christian viewpoint, but his article at least is take-no-prisoners, Red-Pill-style Christian preaching:

Quote:Quote:

This past week, I actually had a student come forward after a university chapel service and complain because he felt “victimized” by a sermon on the topic of 1 Corinthians 13. It appears that this young scholar felt offended because a homily on love made him feel bad for not showing love! In his mind, the speaker was wrong for making him, and his peers, feel uncomfortable.

I’m not making this up. Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic! Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims! Anyone who dares challenge them and, thus, makes them “feel bad” about themselves, is a “hater,” a “bigot,” an “oppressor” and a “victimizer.”

I have a message for this young man and all others who care to listen. That feeling of discomfort you have after listening to a sermon is called a conscience! An altar call is supposed to make you feel bad! It is supposed to make you feel guilty! The goal of many a good sermon is to get you to confess your sins — not coddle you in your selfishness. The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession, not your self-actualization!

So here’s my advice:

If you want the chaplain to tell you, you’re a victim rather than tell you that you need virtue this may not be the university you’re looking for. If you want to complain about a sermon that makes you feel less than loving for not showing love, this might be the wrong place.

If you’re more interested in playing the “hater” card than you are in confessing your own hate; if you want to arrogantly lecture, rather than humbly learn; if you don’t want to feel guilt in your soul when you are guilty of sin; if you want to be enabled rather than confronted, there are many universities across the land (in Missouri and elsewhere) that will give you exactly what you want but Oklahoma Wesleyan isn’t one of them.

At OKWU we teach you to be selfless rather than self-centered. We are more interested in you practicing personal forgiveness than political revenge. We want you to model interpersonal reconciliation rather than foment personal conflict. We believe the content of your character is more important than the color of your skin. We don’t believe that you have been victimized every time you feel guilty and we don’t issue “trigger warnings” before altar calls.

Oklahoma Wesleyan is not a “safe place” but rather, a place to learn: to learn that life isn’t about you, but about others; that the bad feeling you have while listening to a sermon is called guilt; that the way to address it is to repent of everything that’s wrong with you rather than blame others for everything that’s wrong with them. This is a place where you will quickly learn that you need to grown up!

The establishment has lost control of its little Frankensteins. You'll start seeing them offer critiques of the more radical protesting SJW's, but never questioning their basic ideas of feminism, mass immigration, and environmentalism.

My guess is they will adopt the same strategy as taking down Occupy, by painting them as spoiled kids who have zany ideas.

The story is still buried in the lifestyle/parenting section, but yes news.com.au is archtypical PC MSM. I remember trying to argue red pill theory with commenters in their agony aunt section years ago [Image: lol.gif]

Remember MSM websites are largely based around emotional provocation and reassurance of their core readership's tribal ideology rather than any serious journalism.

I think they're testing to see how their viewership responds to critiques of SJW culture. This could mean they don't believe that their main viewership aligns themselves with radical lefties any longer. Its very early days, but maybe it does indicate an Overton shift.

No, something is definitely happening.

News.com is as left-wing as it gets. I read it to keep an eye on what normal people are being told to believe. They're so hipster they filtered and restricted comments on their site long before it was cool, (if the article even had a comment section. If it's narrative-heavy, it generally doesn't have one).

This is the fourth article in about nine days that isn't toeing the line. Questioning SJW's and their ideas, laughing at cultural appropriation, questioning immigration. I suspect ideas are being tested, page views and shares being tallied. Hell, there was a long article today pointing out Hillary Clinton's tendency to 'constantly lie'. [Image: banana.gif]

Maybe the SJW's contempt for and exclusion of the media in the student protests has drawn the ire of the suits. Perhaps the failure of Gawker and the rise of Breitbart is being noticed. /pol/ types might theorise the 'White Privilege' concept is starting to threaten the Jewish population, after an Anti-Semitic attack in Australia the other day... by an aboriginal man.

I'll start watching it a little more closely. Something is up.

A key motif for any globalist / radical policy is always divide & conquer.

White vs. black, East vs. West.
Jew vs. Muslim, Muslim vs. Christian, Christian vs. atheist.
Rich vs. poor. Left vs. right.

Perhaps 'they' figure, the regressive / SJW crowd have been propped up enough, that the conservative crowd now need more of a voice.
If nothing else. The Albert Pike letter of 1871, taken at face value, is a rather uncanny suggestion of what the then future would hold :

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

Murdoch in Prison Australia is somewhere between cuck-right and flaming leftie. News.com.au is basically written to tingle the female amydgala as hard as possible on a daily basis: this is the site that has Em Rusciano as one of its columnists on a frequent basis, and reprints columns criticising Donald Trump direct out of US newspapers. That's why this article surprised me so much.

By the way, fellas, those of you who ghost Murdork's sites, did you see this one?

http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/relatio...26b6d61374

Quote:Quote:

I WAS completely floored. Gobsmacked. I had just been asked a huge question in the bedroom by a new guy and had no idea what to say.

In the heat of the moment he looked at me and said, “What do you like? What do you want from me?”

Here was a man asking me what he can do to be loving, caring, and fun. Basically he wanted to spice up my life. #Girlpower

I was so shocked that I looked at him like he’d just said, “You have the head of a camel, but hey let’s still get it on”.

The most confronting thing was that I realised I had no idea what I wanted.

Gulp. Talk about awkward.

Do you know what you want from your man? Have you ever been asked?

When I posed the question to my girlfriends I got lots of confused answers.

“Well, I have never been asked that, now that you mention it. It’s a bloody good question,” the first friend said.

The next friend ran away from addressing it. “Oh man. I still don’t know the answer to that! When a dude I slept with asked me that, I decided it was a bad idea to ever see him again. I was too embarrassed,” she said.

And a girlfriend of mine who has been settled in a relationship for six years said: “We have tricks that are a given and were found in our relationship at the start. I mean they work and we are happy I guess but if my man asked me that now, I would have no idea what to say.”

They go on to bring on a shithead "sexologist" who implcitly blames men for women not knowing what they want in bed, but this shit made me seriously ROFLMAO. Fucking hell. Looks like Mel Gibson has his answer for "What Women Want" -- they have no fucking idea, so don't fucking ask.

Compare that to most men, who generally do know what they want. In my case, ideally, suspenders, stockings, big tits, smooth skin, at least a fucking attempt at a seduction, as little head as possible (they all suck at it, and that's a rating, not a description), a couple of different positions, and really ideally, her ass if she feels up to it.

This is showing as the number 1 most read story on news.com.au today. [Image: banana.gif]

Quote:Quote:

Behind the ‘white student unions’ springing up at Australian universities

(snip)

The White Students Union at the Western Sydney University, which formed over the weekend and is already “into the double digits” of members, is “not out to antagonise anyone”, according its spokesman.

The spokesman, who approached news.com.au to write a story, said he was a 24-year-old journalism student and gave us his name, but we have chosen not to publish it because we could not verify it.

He said the group, which will seek formal registration with the university in 2016 and already has a six-person committee, was designed to “advance our interests as white students and promote a safe space where we can come together as a community and organise”.

“We’re a genuine group, we’re not doing it to troll anyone,” he told news.com.au.

“If you roll up to any university these days you’ll have gay safe spaces, Muslim safe spaces: in the last four or five years it’s become very politically correct.

“That’s great. I’m as PC as they come. We’re staying within the narrative. All we want is equality.”

He said he was “absolutely” expecting a backlash, but wanted to “test the boundaries of what they’re willing to acknowledge”.

“We just thought, why not? Everyone else is doing it, why can’t we do it? Anecdotally we have a lot of support from the ethnic students,” he said.

“Our main antagonists are actually the older, white academics. These people say they’re all about equality. The academics try to build this narrative that nobody supports this stuff, but it’s happening. We’re just using that language ourselves.”

The highest-read article this morning on News.com is on ISIS murdering Homosexuals, outstripping the latest mass shooting by 400+ readers.

ISIS Killing Gay Men

Though the headline is 'extremism', there's some serious thoughtcrime being voiced about Islam. This never would have happened on the site a year ago. Gays are such good little consumer drones that they might be starting to realise what will happen to their bottom line if the country becomes conservative.

Quote:Quote:

The fear of a horrific death among gay men under Islamic State rule is further compounded by their isolation in a deeply conservative society that largely shuns them.

Many Muslims consider homosexuality to be sinful
. Gay men are haunted constantly by the possibility that someone, perhaps even a relative, will betray them to the militants — whether to curry favour with IS or simply out of hatred for their sexual orientation.

Islamic State group fighters sometimes torture suspected homosexuals to reveal their friends’ names and search their laptops and mobile phones. Even among IS opponents, gays find little sympathy. Some in the public who might be shocked by other IS atrocities say killings of gays is justified. Syrian rebel factions have killed or abused gays as well.

Interesting.

The paradigm is changing. Slowly but surely. I've been testing some manosphere ideas on the lefties I know without telling them the source origin(off the grid commune types, peace/love druggies, yuppies, and self proclaimed edgy bohemians), and they respond very favorably.

We even had started joking about privilege/culture appropriation, Tumblr, etc. and how mentally messed up they all are.

Roosh is right the media has lost control of their cronies, and now these cronies are attacking their own allies. It's only a matter of time until things change. Red pill ideas may not become the norm, but the death knell of SJWism is here.

Now we're entering serious thoughtcrime territory:

The Drug That Is Turning The Safe Sex Message On Its Head

This never would have been published a year ago, when we were having these conversations on here and the media was championing it as 99 to 100% effective, despite the manufacturer never making half of that claims, and always 'in the presence of safe sex practices', whilst the media were saying '100% effective!' and 'go out and suck truck stop dick!', and the one HuffPo writer who questioned the narrative was publicly-shamed and recanted to fit the '100% safe' narrative.

Back then I said public knowledge of the cost of the drug, particularly if the cost gets passed onto the tax payer, could be very dangerous for public perception of gay men.

Quote:Quote:

It costs $10,000 for a year’s supply of Truvada, a drug that prevents transmission of the virus that is no longer a death sentence, but still requires lifelong treatment

Quote:Quote:

But that’s about to change, after NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner announced on Tuesday that a comprehensive trial will give thousands of high-risk gay and bisexual Australian men free access to the drug.

If all goes well, it could be on the pharmaceutical benefits scheme within a couple of years.

Hmm, let me guess as to what she looks like...

[Image: 4454928-3x2-340x227.jpg]

As expected, "Hair above the chin, subversion from within."

Remember, Progressivism championing a cause guarantees the opposite feared outcome due to dysfunction, so a Progressive Health Minister fighting for improved gay health will only decrease it.

Quote:Quote:

In the United States, where Truvada has been available since 2012, its critics include Michael Weinstein, the chief executive of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

Mr Weinstein has labelled PrEP a “party drug”, warning that many gay men would not take it consistently, and that its widespread use could spark drug resistance in HIV-positive patients.

“If something comes along that’s better than condoms, I’m all for it, but Truvada is not that,” Weinstein told the Associated Press last year.

Self-described “Truvada whore” Adam Zeboski explained PrEP’s appeal in a piece for HIV Equal Online.

“Old school, natural, sex without condoms is kind of amazing,” he said.

“I think fun and fulfilling sex should be valued and celebrated, but when you’re constantly thinking ‘What if?’ or ‘Maybe he’s not negative anymore?’ that can transform sex into a fear-inducing chore.”

The writer in question. Aren't you glad to know the public can fund his sexual lifestyle at the expense of, say, childhood leukemia?

[Image: 29_14_Guest_Opinion_17_LRG.gif]

Quote:Quote:

Members of the Australian gay community raised concerns on the SameSame.com.au Facebook page this week.

“Prep is a dangerous program. It promotes unprotected sex, and the side effects are really dangerous to your liver and kidneys,” one Facebook user said.

“I will never use the blue pill, I’m completely against it. I’m negative, and so is my partner. We use condoms only!”

Another commented: “A friend of mine was in hospital with a serious infection. It lowers your immune system and there are side effects.”

Also, interesting:

Quote:Quote:

Dr Grulich said there was an uncommon incidence of kidney toxicity, which meant those who take PrEP must have a kidney function test every now and then. HIV tests are carried out more frequently, four times a year.

I had to really search for this kind of negative (read possibly-homophobic) information a year ago when it was brought up on the forum, and here it is being openly-discussed.

It really does seem like News.com is beginning to shift away from the Narrative.

As a bonus, the Radical Gays fighting the AIDS Council by telling everyone this drug is 100% safe without condoms and safe sex practices versus the manufacturer claiming 46% safe with condoms and safe sex practices are reliable narrators, with no other possible agenda, aren't they?

I feel like I'v been emotionally "pozzed" just reading this.

This thing is mainly a boondoggle for the drug companies and social workers since so many gay men obviously don't even care what happens to them.

And, as a backup to the proof from the anonymous message boarders above, here is a documentary that puts faces to these vile habits:

Quote:Quote:

As many men in the community become condom weary, and some even consciously desire HIV infection, disturbing new trends of risky behavior have pushed the rate of new infections back into a rapid rise, all to the mantra of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Using Internet sites for promotion and connection, a community of barebackers (those who have sex without a condom) is flourishing. This includes bug chasers who host conversion parties where men actively seek the gift of HIV infection.

http://www.documentarywire.com/the-gift/

Not to mention a recent article from Jim Goad over at Takimag covering the same topic:

http://takimag.com/article/the_power_of_...z3tTJ47f7S

It almost doesn't matter how the media covers the gay world. These guys are in a big hurry to die either way.

I've heard stories like this from gay clients enough to know they're true. The media takes great pains to depict gays as sexless, unthreatening, catty next door neighbours to protect them. The reality I keep being forced to interact with seems both self-destructive and delusional about moral norms.

Another gay guy who works out at my gym would often brag about how he'd have sex in a public toilet, fuck a guy wearing a condom but then scoop the load into their butt, and say "Now you have hiv" purely to terrorise them. He swore he was negative, but who even fucking knows. They're a different breed entirely.

One of the musicians I work with is that Jack Donovan type of gay, and he says the gay community is so out of control with both bug chasing and unsafe sex - 'they think HIV is inevitable'; incest normalisation - 'almost every gay porn now has women in it and have 'dad' and 'son' talking about 'mom' coming home - and extreme white power fantasies - 'the only time I see a confederate flag is when some queen is smoking in front of it trying to look tough' - that he thinks they're all batshit, and only has straight friends. He said "I don't think it would be the worst thing in the world if we all got wiped out."

Succumbing to Stockholm syndrome and turning on your fellow man is certainly easier, especially if you still have a chip on your shoulder about the alpha jocks at school who effortlessly attracted the attention of all the hot alpha girls.

It’s probably been that way since caveman days, when the sweaty warriors came home full of bravado and testosterone. Only, now, our society actually values the nerdy guys who stayed behind to write poetry and pick berries with the ladies. Look at Bill Gates. And Mark Zuckerberg. After millennia of evolution, we’re living Revenge of the Nerds. You’d think they’d be grateful. But no.

Honestly I think the tide may be changing; I view the entire "social justice craze" as a passing fad of the 90s and 2000s which future generations will eventually look back on and laugh at like the "big hair" fad of the 80s.

A short time after the legalization of gay marriage liberal website Slate.com published and article pointing out how the majority of gay couples are not even getting married now that it's legal, showing how it was more just about pushing "acceptance" than actual rights.

Stuff like this is a good sign.

Not to mention thanks to the internet, independent, unfiltered outlets are blossoming, while prior to that Americans were pretty much limited to whatever major liberal media establishments put out; this might be why we're seeing social justice being taken to such crazy extremes lately, the establishment realizes it's losing it's power and is panicking.

Honestly I never understood why this was such a mystery anyway, I thought it was pretty much common sense.
.
For the "geeks" out there like me evolutionary psychology does a good job explaining the "why".

A guy isn't going to date Queen Elizabeth the 2nd just because she's a "nice person", so why would a girl want to date a simpering, male feminist who can't even handle mean comments on the internet without getting triggered, let alone stand up for his woman in a physical confrontation.

Problem is in this whiny entitled generation a lot of guys grow up thinking they're "entitled" to date any girl they want probably because mommy or daddy told them just how much they "deserved it".
