There is a reason the military is embracing CRT

This is General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff talking about Critical Race Theory before Congress:

White Rage.  He reads Critical Race Theory so he can understand White Rage and why January 6th happened.

Critical Race Theory cannot and will not accurately explain January 6th, it will only make the situation worse.  Which seems to be the point.

The January 6th protesters are very explicit about why they stormed the Capitol.  They believed that Trump lost due to fuckery.

The exact sort of fuckery ranges from the belief that large numbers of fraudulent ballots were counted to all the sudden and unilateral changes in voting rules due to the pandemic favored Biden and was tantamount to changing the rules in the middle of the game.

Other forms of fuckery, such as social media and media organizations actively suppressing stories unfavorable to Biden and going overwhelmingly against Trump were also at play.  How many stories recently have we found out with actual evidence that Trump was right and everyone else was wrong?

On its face, it’s just hard to understand how the guy who packed venues to standing room only lost to a candidate who mounted the laziest campaign in history and has all the signs of senility, and the guy who lost gained votes over his first victory.

I have said it before and I will say it again, at the heart of every form of political extremism is a seed of legitimate grievance.  If that legitimate grievance is not addressed, it will grow and bear extremist fruit.

The Democrats spent four years complaining that Trump was an illegitimate President and stole the election by collaborating with Russia, but the moment that Trump supporters say “there seems to be fuckery here and we want you to prove Trump lost to our satisfaction” it’s a threat to democracy and our country.

So without a doubt, nobody in power on the Left wants to know why January 6th happened.  They need another excuse that takes the question of election fuckery out and further delegitimizes the protesters.

Critical Race Theory and the idea of White Rage does that perfectly.  According to CRT, White People are uniquely fragile and when they don’t get their way at the expense of minorities, the White People can’t take it and fly into White Rage and become destructive.

And understand it is vital to teach this to our military so our military can continue to defend DC.

You need the military to believe that anyone who opposes a Leftist administration is doing so because they are fragile White People going into a fit of White Rage.

The very last thing you want is a member of the military to say:  “You know, these people make a good point.  Our President does have pudding for brains and seems to want to nuke Americans more than China.”

For a military to be useful against the citizens of its own nation, the military needs to be indoctrinated not to feel empathy for its fellow citizens.

The Germans were fed all sorts of Antisemitic propaganda.

The Soviets were conditioned to hate the Kulaks.

Mao’s Red Guard were encouraged to turn in family members who were not loyal to Mao.

The soldiers who are clearly ideologically opposed to the Left are being purged out.  The rest are going to be taught that White Americans who opposed the Left are dangerous because of their White Rage.

General Milley is defending teaching CRT in the military because he wants a military that has been trained to see American citizens of a particular demographic (non-Woke, Trump-supporting, White people) as the enemy.

You have to be *****ing me. Make A Wish Foundation goes full Covidiot

What was these assholes’ mental process? “We can have a kid dying of malignant brain tumor,  but we can’t allow him having the Kung Flu because it is hazardous to his health”?

 

This is what happens when you don’t have an enemy to fight

How long until the military announces that it will put pronouns on the uniforms next to rank and name?

Is Crisis in the Auto Manufacturing Business driving up prices of Used Cars ?

You may have read about the Ford Trucks:

It’s no secret that the global chip shortage is wreaking havoc on automakers; even chip-hoarding Toyota is starting to feel the heat. Stellantis, Ford, GM—pretty much everybody is getting a taste of a major supply-chain shortcoming, and needless to say, it’s bad for business.

But just because vehicles need chips to be delivered doesn’t mean you have to stop making ’em altogether. Case-in-point, Ford is still making trucks; it’s just making them without the necessary bits, holding them until the chips finally come in, and then shipping them out to dealers. Ford is doing this with what looks like thousands of vehicles, and you can see the results from space.

Stockpile of Unfinished Ford Super Duty Pickups Missing Chips Is Now Visible from Space (thedrive.com)

I am not sure how much is this chip shortage affecting the rest of the market. But what can I tell you is that the prices of used cars have gone ballistic. On account of the moving and other things, we decided to sell my wife’s SUV which was smaller than mine and just drive up in one vehicle.  She bought it brand spanking new three years ago for $20,000 and today she sold it to the same dealer for $19,000 in a transaction that may have lasted 32 minutes which was as long as it took for the salesperson to test drive it, to fill the paperwork and have the check issued. I joked that she “leased” the vehicle for less than a buck a day, not counting gas and insurance. To say we were surprised is a serious misunderstanding.

But the shocker was when we checked how much my “previously owned” vehicle bought last November would bring to the table. Without going into details, CarMax offered me $3,000 over what we paid for it. I could actually make a profit.

This is batshit insane.  How can people afford to buy a vehicle either new or used? The Missus also told me that while she waited for the paperwork and the check, she heard other sales people on the phone talking to prospective clients and apologizing that there were short on offerings. The common phrase heard was “Sorry, that is all we have in stock.”

Needless to say we are going to take very much care of our remaining form of transportation.

Trump was always right

Except he was talking about Antifa.

This bullshit is supposed to make Trump look bad but he was talking about the people attacking the Portland Courthouse.

I said he should have done that from the beginning and it’s clear he wanted to.

Image how much more peaceful the last year would have been had the Federal Boot actually come down on the violent assholes that deserved it.

Fuck me, Trump was right about everything and it was the rest of the government that fucked us over by holding him back.
