More evidence for the cause of my hesitation to support BLM

I’ve covered a few times in the past how Black Lives Matter has linked itself with the Palestinian movement, promoting antisemitic tropes about Israel.

But the antisemitism in Black Lives Matter goes even further than that.

I really feel like coming out and supporting people who clearly hate my very existence because of who I am.

I think there is a word for that but I can’t put my finger on it right now…

And note how both of these took place in New York City.  That place has become the perfect storm for antisemitism.

I am more glad than ever I am not on social media, the struggle sessions are coming

The stories of Stalin executing the first person to stop applauding him appear to be apocryphal, but understanding the history of the communism makes them believable.

During the communist revolution in China, those who were critical of the movement were the first to be tortured in the struggle sessions.  By the end, however, citizens were being tortured for the crime of not being sufficiently supportive of the revolution.  Anything less than full-throated celebration of the movement was tantamount to treason.

Welcome to social media under the Left in 2020.

It’s not enough to be apolitical, posting anodyne things like muffin recipes or pictures of your kids having a picnic in the park.

You will post full-throated support of whatever message the Left wants you to support or you will be subjected to torment.

You will be no longer punished for just saying something the Left find offensive, you will now be punished for not reciting the shibboleths that the Left requires you to recite.

What happens if you don’t?

You will be unpersoned, including by members of your family.

That’s right.

If Grandma on her fixed income doesn’t support BLM, don’t visit her.

If your mom uses Facebook only to play Farmville and look at pictures of her nieces and nephews and doesn’t participate in Blackout Tuesday, don’t call her.

This is evil.

I’ve never been so glad that I don’t have social media to attract the unwanted attention of the new Child Heroes for not posting the mandated pieties.

A new item to add to your EDC

I purchased one of these in 12 inches, the ASP Protector concealable baton.

It is about the same size as a tactical flashlight the uses two CR123 batteries (Surefire 6P, Streamlight ProTac, etc), just under one inch in diameter and five inches long.

Clipping it into a pocket you’d think it was just a tactical flashlight.

In these uncertain times, it is a tool to fit between nothing and a gun.

You need to check your state laws to see if it legal in your area.  Alabama doesn’t care.  It is legal in Florida with a CWP (in Florida it is a Concealed Weapons Permit, so it’s good for more than just guns).

If it is legal in your state, I think it is a tool worth the $45 I found it for online.

Stay safe out there.
