<br />
However, I changed my mind, after watching the mirror of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD-7w-LLNdw">InternetAristocrat's video "Cis-Scum".</a><br />
<br />
The female brony blogger that Oleg Volk sometimes links to has come out as a man. Well, actually, it's all very complicated, <a href="http://lurkingrhythmically.blogspot.com/2013/08/duality.html">so read about it yourself, I guess.</a><br />
<br />
My immediate reaction to this comes in three parts, followed by a larger monologue on exactly what in the hell I think is going on here:<br />
<br />
1. While I don't recognize the condition, I don't hate "transgendered" people (those who feel they are actually a member of the opposite sex; this post does not concern people with ambiguous genitalia) or feel repulsed by what they think about themselves. What does disturb me is when I see someone who has mutilated their body in a failed attempt to convince others that they're not really the sex they are, but it's much the same feeling as seeing someone who's been horrifically burned or who is grotesquely fat. Not to insult burn victims, of course. This is a natural reaction that possesses me against my will. My opinions on the matter are entirely separate.<br />
<br />
2. You want to go by the name "Erin" online, be my guest. I go by a pseudonym, too.<br />
<br />
3. Just because I think (you'll see) that transgenders are most likely deluded doesn't mean it can't <i>hurt. </i>On the contrary, delusion can be one of the most damaging conditions. I am sympathetic.<br />
<br />
In the interests of getting inside your head a little, I will play your game. OK, I wake up and, just like Tom Hanks in <i>Big,</i> I find myself staring back at someone I don't recognize. How do I handle this? Well that would be fairly extraordinary. I might inquire to a professional about it. Or perhaps a wise-looking black man with a salt-and-pepper beard.<br />
<br />
Did you wake up and suddenly not recognize yourself, though? I suspect not. I suspect, like me, you woke up one day when you were in middle school with a dark hair or two growing on your face. Hardly a blue-furred facelift. You looked much the same as you always did.<br />
<br />
Maybe you didn't look the way you wanted to, or your mental image and reflection didn't match up. Loads of people have this little quirk of psychology, very few of them write extended blog posts about it. When I think of myself, it doesn't match very closely with how I actually look. Big deal.<br />
<br />
You're disgusted with your own looks? Lots of people have this problem. Even if there's such a thing as having a female psychology and a male physiology, the fact that you find your body repulsive probably has little to do with it. After all, do you find other men repulsive? I don't mean in an intimate sense, but rather walking down the street, if you pass a bearded fellow wearing shorts, a t-shirt and a wristwatch, do you want to shy away in revulsion as if they had some gross deformity? I reserve suspicion that you do not.<br />
<br />
It would not shock me to learn that you have BDD. Looking at yourself in the mirror and wanting to vomit isn't normal, and that must have been a helluva time growing up. Regarding your own name as something fake and unworthy is a sign of underlying distress (one of my girlfriends goes by a male name, and functions normally). I sympathize, sincerely, I do.<br />
<br />
Finally, are you <i>really </i>psychologically a woman? You like guns and comic books and you<br />
get a feeling in your loins when you see a woman (strange, most of the transgendered M-t-Fs I've seen are "lesbians"). Maybe you're a bit effeminate, but that does not a condition make.<br />
<br />
You are a man, not a woman, and whatever psychological issues you have, it's up to you to fight through them, not to indulge them by playing pretend. Do you think that, in the long run, getting your friends to act as though you were something you're not will help you overcome your issues? Why do you think that shunning your birth name and saying you're a woman on the <i>inside</i> fixes the problem? The problem isn't you having the wrong name or body, it's <i>the revulsion you have for yourself.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
You said that you don't want to mutilate yourself through surgery. This is good. This is <i>sane. </i>You have the body you were born with, and however you feel, you should work with it. Others will, though. I've seen people that have gone under the knife, and they didn't transform themselves into something beautiful and accepted, they made it <i>worse;</i> they actually turned themselves into monsters. What if it's a delusion? What if you are male to the core, and you just have a body image problem? What if <i>all</i> transgendered people are? Are we as a culture encouraging people to mutilate themselves in service to neuroses? How horrifying is <i>that</i> thought?<br />
<br />
Finally, Erin, though I don't expect we'll meet, I will not treat you as if you're a woman. I will call you "Erin" if you like, but only the same as you might call me "Wilhelm". The pronoun set I use for you is "he/him/his". I might say, "that Erin fellow is a good man, and good company, besides." I will expect you to act much the same as I would expect any man. If there's a draft, you will go to war (oh, wait, I guess that's bi-gender now. What a silly time we live in.) If there's a vote, I expect you to vote (wait, that too?). Hold on. Chivalry's dead? Men don't pay the bills? Well, shit, I guess in this day and age, I'm to treat women and men much the same, save for the pronouns I use.<br />

<br />

<br />
One of the great successes of US propaganda is the widespread myth that the United States and its close allies were the good guys, because Hitler killed people and they didn't.<br />
<br />
One may point out that Stalin killed loads of people, but they will often be met with arguments that we had to side with the lesser of two evils to defeat the greater, never mind that Stalin's crimes were greater than Hitler's, and Hitler's were largely unknown (and uncommitted) at the time war was declared. Hmm.<br />
<br />
Some reactionary elements have argued that the USG should be held partially accountable for the crimes of the Soviet regime, as it was to a large degree an enabler. This is a very grey area, but the most interesting part of the issue is that USG herself is responsible for untold mass murder and other heinous crimes, all of which is strictly ignored by official history.WilhelmDurandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16200292728815175516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151202056323993113.post-40044805443726388202013-08-25T00:00:00.000-07:002013-08-25T00:00:37.785-07:00Herbert Butterfield rocking out in a mask of red and black paintI'm hearing echoes of <a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.preterhuman.net/texts/literature/general/Butterfield%20(Herbert)%20The%20Whig%20Interpretation%20of%20History.pdf">Butterfield</a> in this:<div>

<br />
As welfare increases, good jobs with sane employers become harder to find, and home comforts become ever more in reach, hikikomori - in the US called "basement-dwellers," "neckbeards," and "80% of the My Little Pony franchise fanbase" - will remain on the rise.<br /><br />This isn't a bang. It's not a whimper, either. Shall the world end with a <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Squick">squick</a>?WilhelmDurandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16200292728815175516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151202056323993113.post-22933121560298988962013-06-29T10:53:00.001-07:002013-09-26T15:16:59.399-07:00CONGRATULATIONS ON THE ASSUMED DESTRUCTION OF YOUR HOMOSEXUAL ENEMIES, PROGSI've gotta hand it to progressives: When they want a group of people gone, they have a way of doing it that leaves the affected party grinning from ear to ear... Before they're exterminated, of course.<br />
<br />
Consider the late "gay problem". Gays have long been a thorn in the sides of progressives, showing up to dinner parties with far superior casseroles, correcting their style, and indulging their women's shopping addiction. The problem was, how to exterminate them without looking like bigoted dicks? Well, there's an app for that.<br />
<br />
The social institutions that kept gays reproducing, which ensured that a society's party decorations would always be fabulous, that its casseroles would always be delicious, and that its men would always be well-dressed for business meetings, became the target. The noble wives of gay men, <a href="http://news.stanford.edu/pr/95/950310Arc5328.html">who ensured the perpetuity of gay traits,</a> became "covers", and made fine targets for ridicule in the low media.<br />
<br />
Now, every good crusade needs its barbarians. The conservative puppet-arm was harnessed for this, as usual, to provide the "oppressive" atmosphere needed to make gays feel well and truly disenfranchised. Replete with religious fanatics screaming about sexual preferences being a sign of the end times, this move was highly effective in convincing the gays of their own disenfranchisement.<br />
<br />
Gays joined the cause in droves. Lesser progs were called from every tumblr blog to fight the good fight, and preserve the "civil liberties" of gays. As always, sentiment was paramount, and the consequences of their actions (which were, of course, intended) went unspoken. Under a flood of red and pink Facebook profile pictures, rainbow-colored website headers, and <a href="http://dresdencodak.tumblr.com/post/53943845456/babsblogs-the-only-thing-rivaling-my-happiness">condescending crocodile humor targeting "hateful people",</a> the straw enemy was assaulted.<br />
<br />
Thus, DOMA, the Great Evil constructed of Baptist sermons and pure hate, was struck down, and gays were free... Complicit in their own silent ethnic cleansing which would be complete in only a few generations, <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/12/11/homosexuality-ultimately-result-gene-regulation-researchers-find/">as their genes faded away.</a><br />
<br />
Decades from now, young progs will look up at a monument of George Takei and think of his great accomplishments in the destruction of his own kind, and all the straight progs will revel in <a href="http://www.lloydianaspects.co.uk/architect/scotparl.html">their ugly concrete buildings,</a> burnt casseroles, and bizarre businesswear.WilhelmDurandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16200292728815175516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151202056323993113.post-64647555233603367192013-05-29T17:57:00.001-07:002013-05-29T17:57:10.186-07:00Alcohol and Aboriginal Amerindians<a href="http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/PublicHealth/research/centers/CAIANH/journal/Documents/Volume%207/7(2)_Abbott_Use_of_Alcohol_1-13.pdf">A very interesting summary of the subject.</a><br />
<br />
I was discussing this subject with Girlfriend'', where I supposed that the mesoamerican tribes probably were practically drowning in alcohol (at least relatively speaking) due to their farming practices, and that alcohol consumption pre-Columbus could probably be more or less correlated to farming.

Laura makes a pretty good point, and a compelling argument. If I may express her point in a metaphor, she's basically saying that the car still runs, and though it has quirks and you could die going over Yungas Road in it, it's worth it to keep it running.<br />
<br />
The problem with her argument isn't that cars are bad or that keeping the idea of the car alive isn't noble, it is that the car is on fire.WilhelmDurandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16200292728815175516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151202056323993113.post-55674863501388329562013-05-07T18:32:00.005-07:002013-05-07T18:33:20.463-07:00X?

He is standing up for your rights, and indeed has suffered incarceration that eventually will lead to a further proliferation liberty in the nation!<br />
<br />
Well, that's the rosy picture that some would paint. What's the reality? Can anyone really say? Yes, I think I can.<br />
<br />
C. J. Grisham has a history of... <a href="http://www.michaelyon-online.com/no-bronze-star.htm">Embellishment.</a> Some of his best comrades, I think, <a href="http://weaponsman.com/?p=6739">would be very upset with him</a> over this. Then, is he crusading for us, or his own ego?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"SHUT UP, I'M TALKING!"</i></blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Does this man handle himself like someone who earned a Bronze Star? No, of course not, because he didn't. He is a fat child who's lollipop has been taken away. Waaaaugh, give me back my tactical carbine!</div>
<div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I carry a rifle any time I walk around because there are feral hogs and cougars and things like that.”</blockquote>
<br />
Really? I'm not unfamiliar with the area around Temple, Texas, and far from it being so infested with hogs and <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/11/Cougar_range_map_2010.png">cougars</a> that you have to carry around rifles everywhere you go, it's remarkable if you see an armadillo. If I were an officer in the area, and I saw someone carrying an AR-15, I, too, would be a little suspicious.<br />
<br />
What was he thinking when he <a href="http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Hiking#Hiking_merit_badge_requirements">unnecessarily</a> clipped his rifle and camera to his completely inappropriate backpack as they set out that morning? Is it possible that he just felt more badass carrying a rifle, and he knew he might get into trouble, and he wanted to make sure the cameras were rolling when it inevitably happened? More than possible, I think. What was it he was discharged for? Oh yeah, mental problems.<br />
<br />
Should we give <a href="http://weaponsman.com/?cat=31">assclowns</a> like him attention? Yes, so long as it is mockery. Social martyrdom is what he wants (I'd be surprised if he wanted actual martyrdom, seeing as how he's a coward), but I doubt he prepared for being called out as the child he really is.<br />
<br />
Andrew Tuohy has <a href="http://vuurwapenblog.com/2013/04/17/temple-tx-pd-vs-army-msgt/">a less scalding take</a> on the incident over on his blog. I owe him for the link to Grisham's inflated claims about his service.</div>

I like it, because I agree with the author on some things, but think a number of his points are completely absurd and/or banal. Let's begin.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I accept this award on behalf of all the fine teachers I've known over the years who've struggled to make their transactions with children honorable ones, men and women who are never complacent, always questioning, always wrestling to define and redefine endlessly what the word "education" should mean. A Teacher of the Year is not the best teacher around, those people are too quiet to be easily uncovered, but he is a standard-bearer, symbolic of these private people who spend their lives gladly in the service of children. This is their award as well as mine.</span></span></blockquote>
All the best teachers I've ever known were loud, offensive, rambunctious and always on the verge of getting fired or transferred.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">We live in a time of great school crisis.</span></span></blockquote>
Yup. In fact, you don't really need the word "school" in there at all.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our children rank at the bottom of nineteen industrial nations in reading, writing and arithmetic. At the very bottom.</span></span></blockquote>
What if you only count the white and Asian children, I suddenly crimethought?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The world's narcotic economy is based upon our own consumption of the commodity, if we didn't buy so many powdered dreams the business would collapse - and schools are an important sales outlet. Our teenage suicide rate is the highest in the world and suicidal kids are rich kids for the most part, not the poor. In Manhattan fifty per cent of all new marriages last less than five years. So something is wrong for sure.</span></span></blockquote>
A bit of a non-sequitur, but I'm willing to humor him. I wonder if he laments the use of drugs, or the underlying problems they imply? I honestly wonder how the drug use chart would break down according to race and age. I wonder what the correlation is between drug use and career 'floppage', college dropout rates, and early death.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We seem to have lost our identity</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">.</span></blockquote>

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Children and old people are penned up and locked away from the business of the world to a degree without precedent - nobody talks to them anymore and without children and old people mixing in daily life a community has no future and no past, only a continuous present. In fact, the name "community" hardly applies to the way we interact with each other. We live in networks, not communities, and everyone I know is lonely because of that. In some strange way school is a major actor in this tragedy just as it is a major actor in the widening guilt among social classes. Using school as a sorting mechanism we appear to be on the way to creating a caste system, complete with untouchables who wander through subway trains begging and sleep on the streets.</span></span></blockquote>
The sudden jump from applause lights to this is jarring, but I always have a pleasant reaction to good sense and truth.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I've noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my twenty-five years of teaching - that schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to the great enterprises of the planet. No one believes anymore that scientists are trained in science classes or politicians in civics classes or poets in English classes. The truth is that schools don't really teach anything except how to obey orders. This is a great mystery to me because thousands of humane, caring people work in schools as teachers and aides and administrators but the abstract logic of the institution overwhelms their individual contributions. Although teachers do care and do work very hard, the institution is psychopathic - it has no conscience. It rings a bell and the young man in the middle of writing a poem must close his notebook and move to different cell where he must memorize that man and monkeys derive from a common ancestor.</span></span></blockquote>
Some of the more obvious bits of this paragraph are true, but two falsehoods stick out at me. Firstly, while it is true that a great many (white and Asian) people are stuck in jobs they hate that are completely unfulfilling, the sentiment that "schools don't teach anything except how to obey orders", besides being an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR5ApYxkU-U">applause light</a> begs the question "why aren't former public school students better at obeying orders?"<br />
<br />
I also mislike his implied sentiment that students should only be forced to do work that they <i>want</i> to do. In school, all I wanted to do was screw around. Does this mean I should be allowed to <a href="http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2011/07/my_name_is_michael_bay_and_i_j.html">fuck your girlfriend?</a> Of course most people should be schooled for one focused talent, but this doesn't imply it should be a talent of their choosing. Further, for the greatest, brightest, most driven who are destined to be the next governors, cardinals, and kings, a diverse, formidable education is not just best, but necessary.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our form of compulsory schooling is an invention of the state of Massachusetts around 1850. It was resisted - sometimes with guns - by an estimated eighty per cent of the Massachusetts population, the last outpost in Barnstable on Cape Cod not surrendering its children until the 1880's when the area was seized by militia and children marched to school under guard.</span></span></blockquote>
Massachusetts, like the Nazis, is a perennial enemy who crops up to threaten righteousness wherever it flourishes.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="line-height: 24px;">I don't think we'll get rid of schools anytime soon, certainly not in my lifetime, but if we're going to change what is rapidly becoming a disaster of ignorance, we need to realize that the school institution "schools" very well, but it does not "educate" - that's inherent in the design of the thing. It's not the fault of bad teachers or too little money spent, it's just impossible for education and schooling ever to be the same thing.</span></span></blockquote>
I think he just coined the name of my future metal band.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Schools were designed by Horace Mann and Barnard Sears and Harper of the University of Chicago and Thorndyke of Columbia Teachers College and some other men to be instruments of the scientific management of a mass population. Schools are intended to produce through the application of formulae, formulaic human beings whose behavior can be predicted and controlled.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">To a very great extent, schools succeed in doing this.</span></blockquote>
Aaah! Dystopia! But never a dystopia of <i>freedom.</i><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But our society is disintegrating, and in such a society, the only successful people are self-reliant, confident, and individualistic - because the community life which protects the dependent and the weak is dead.</span></span></blockquote>
I'm not sure whether he's saying something I agree with, or whether this is just libertarian drivel.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The products of schooling are, as I've said, irrelevant. Well-schooled people are irrelevant. They can sell film and razor blades, push paper and talk on the telephones, or sit mindlessly before a flickering computer terminal but as human beings they are useless. Useless to others and useless to themselves.</span></span></blockquote>
He thinks the blame lies solely on our schools - a great deal of it does - but what he fails to realize is that by withdrawing his children from public school he is withdrawing them from a major organ of the Cathedral. He may yet only realize this when his first daughter comes back from college with a navel ring, a few tattooes, and a bun in the oven.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The daily misery around us is, I think, in large measure caused by the fact that - as Paul Goodman put it thirty years ago - we force children to grow up absurd. Any reform in schooling has to deal with its absurdities.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is absurd and anti-life to be part of a system that compels you to sit in confinement with people of exactly the same age and social class. That system effectively cuts you off from the immense diversity of life and the synergy of variety, indeed it cuts you off from your own part and future, scaling you to a continuous present much the same way television does.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is absurd and anti-life to be part of a system that compels you to listen to a stranger reading poetry when you want to learn to construct buildings, or to sit with a stranger discussing the construction of buildings when you want to read poetry.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is absurd and anti-life to move from cell to cell at the sound of a gong for every day of your natural youth in an institution that allows you no privacy and even follows you into the sanctuary of your home demanding that you do its "homework".</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">"How will they learn to read?" you say and my answer is "Remember the lessons of Massachusetts." When children are given whole lives instead of age-graded ones in cellblocks they learn to read, write, and do arithmetic with ease if those things make sense in the kind of life that unfolds around them.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
For all its faults, I rather like this sub-tract. Especially since I am anti-homework.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">But keep in mind that in the United States almost nobody who reads, writes or does arithmetic gets much respect. We are a land of talkers, we pay talkers the most and admire talkers the most, and so our children talk constantly, following the public models of television and schoolteachers. It is very difficult to teach the "basics" anymore because they really aren't basic to the society we've made.</span></span></blockquote>
An astute observation, indeed!<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Two institutions at present control our children's lives - television and schooling, in that order.</span></span></blockquote>
Also known as Azathoth's right and left arms.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Both of these reduce the real world of wisdom, fortitude, temperance, and justice to a never-ending, non-stopping abstraction. In centuries past the time of a child and adolescent would be occupied in real work, real charity, real adventures, and the realistic search for mentors who might teach what you really wanted to learn. A great deal of time was spent in community pursuits, practicing affection, meeting and studying every level of the community, learning how to make a home, and dozens of other tasks necessary to become a whole man or woman.</span></span></blockquote>
Those who hear the instigator's call are quick to give all that up for a slim chance at glory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But here is the calculus of time the children I teach must deal with:</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Out of the 168 hours in each week, my children sleep 56. That leaves them 112 hours a week out of which to fashion a self.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">My children watch 55 hours of television a week according to recent reports. That leaves them 57 hours a week in which to grow up.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">My children attend school 30 hours a week, use about 6 hours getting ready, going and coming home, and spend an average of 7 hours a week in homework - a total of 45 hours. During that time, they are under constant surveillance, have no private time or private space, and are disciplined if they try to assert individuality in the use of time or space. That leaves 12 hours a week out of which to create a unique consciousness. Of course, my kids eat, and that takes some time - not much, because they've lost the tradition of family dining, but if we allot 3 hours a week to evening meals, we arrive at a net amount of private time for each child of 9 hours.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's not enough. It's not enough, is it? The richer the kid, or course, the less television he watches but the rich kid's time is just as narrowly proscribed by a somewhat broader catalog of commercial entertainments and his inevitable assignment to a series of private lessons in areas seldom of his actual choice.</span></blockquote>
I see he adheres to "the goal of life is to end up with the best stories" theory of existence. Coincidentally, so do I.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And these things are oddly enough just a more cosmetic way to create dependent human beings, unable to fill their own hours, unable to initiate lines of meaning to give substance and pleasure to their existence. It's a national disease, this dependency and aimlessness, and I think schooling and television and lessons - the entire Chautauqua idea - has a lot to do with it.</span></span></blockquote>
I see where he's going with this. Someone get Dan Brown on the phone.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Think of the things that are killing us as a nation - narcotic drugs, brainless competition, recreational sex, the pornography of violence, gambling, alcohol, and the worst pornography of all - lives devoted to buying things, accumulation as a philosophy - all of them are addictions of dependent personalities, and that is what our brand of schooling must inevitably produce.</span></span></blockquote>
OK, grandpa. I'll take all the dead Jesuses off my crucifixes.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">I want to tell you what the effect is on children of taking all their time from them - time they need to grow up - and forcing them to spend it on abstractions. You need to hear this, because no reform that doesn't attack these specific pathologies will be anything more than a facade.</span></span><br />
<ol style="line-height: 24px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The children I teach are indifferent to the adult world. This defies the experience of thousands of years. A close study of what big people were up to was always the most exciting occupation of youth, but nobody wants to grow up these days and who can blame them? Toys are us.</span></li>
</ol>
<ol style="line-height: 24px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The children I teach have almost no curiosity and what they do have is transitory; they cannot concentrate for very long, even on things they choose to do. Can you see a connection between the bells ringing again and again to change classes and this phenomenon of evanescent attention?</span></li>
</ol>
<ol style="line-height: 24px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The children I teach have a poor sense of the future, of how tomorrow is inextricably linked to today. As I said before, they have a continuous present, the exact moment they are at is the boundary of their consciousness.</span></li>
</ol>
<ol style="line-height: 24px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The children I teach are ahistorical, they have no sense of how past has predestined their own present, limiting their choices, shaping their values and lives.</span></li>
</ol>
<ol style="line-height: 24px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The children I teach are cruel to each other, they lack compassion for misfortune, they laugh at weakness, and they have contempt for people whose need for help shows too plainly.</span></li>
</ol>
<ol style="line-height: 24px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The children I teach are uneasy with intimacy or candor. My guess is that they are like many adopted people I've known in this respect - they cannot deal with genuine intimacy because of a lifelong habit of preserving a secret inner self inside a larger outer personality made up of artificial bits and pieces of behavior borrowed from television or acquired to manipulate teachers. Because they are not who they represent themselves to be the disguise wears thin in the presence of intimacy so intimate relationships have to be avoided.</span></li>
</ol>
<ol style="line-height: 24px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The children I teach are materialistic, following the lead of schoolteachers who materialistically "grade" everything - and television mentors who offer everything in the world for free.</span></li>
</ol>
<ol style="line-height: 24px;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The children I teach are dependent, passive, and timid in the presence of new challenges. This is frequently masked by surface bravado, or by anger or aggressiveness but underneath is a vacuum without fortitude.</span></li>
</ol>

Once again, we are ripped out of his libertarian-puritan dreamworld into the reality he so valiantly faces daily. This list is a grabbing diagnosis of the disease that ails the Azathothjugend.<br />

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: Wow, this beginning reminds me a lot of the Kill Bill series.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: They're clearly in like New Mexico</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Yes</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Because it's Quentin Tarantino</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Same dude who did Kill Bill</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:13 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: <i>That</i> movie wasn't necessarily in the West, either.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: No, but this one is set in the South</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: Dunno man.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: Clearly, they're not very good slaves, if they made their master waltz all the way out to New Mexico</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:14 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: Hah, Texas.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: My BS detector is firing</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">So, they're mistreating the slaves pretty badly; that's apparent</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">So they don't care about them much</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:15 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Why, then, did they run all the way out to wherever they were to get them?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">If they're so cheap that they can just beat them up like that?</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:16 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: Haha.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:17 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">None of this strikes me as unrealistic, though.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: None of it?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Pretty much all of it is absurd</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Why are they in the middle of nowhere?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:18 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: Well, the <i>acting</i> certainly seems really off.</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: I mean, it's a fantasy</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">I get that</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:19 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: But um, traveling from place to place <i>through</i> the middle of nowhere.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: But there are so many conceits about slaveowners that don't make any fucking sense</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: Especially to get to a center of trade, doesn't seem very weird.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Hehe.</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:20 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">This <i>is</i> a fantasy, though, for sure.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: Yeah? But if they'll go out to the center of nowhere to pick these guys up</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Why are they being so awful to them?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:21 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: I think it took a lot of walking or carriage travel to get to anywhere, really.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">And although they'd probably take a lot better care of inanimate or livestock inventory,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:22 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: The gore is amazing</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">I am going to have to pause it there, however</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:23 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">12:45</span><br />

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: being nice to other humans who culture tells you are baser than yourselves is not really an attribute of human nature.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: What do you mean by that?</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:24 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: I mean that humans instinctively prove their dominance over other humans of lesser rank.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Especially if they're insecure or if it's something that everyone does.</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:25 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">It's not efficient, but when is human nature ever efficient?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:27 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Most people today slip into bullying at some point or another, despite the stigmatism.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:28 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">At a time when it's both safe and acceptable? Not really surprising that it got out of control.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:30 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: I disagree</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Slavery does not equal bullying</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: No, I'm just saying it's a byproduct.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:31 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: I am sure there were some toxic slaveowners, just like there are toxic military officers, toxic bosses, and toxic leaders in general</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">But our current conception of slavery</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Is essentially not exaggerated at all in this film</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">And it's completely absurd</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">People do not treat their property that way</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:32 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Not unless they have issues</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">And perhaps some slaveowners did</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">But those would absolutely be the exception</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">The thing you have to understand is that</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Slaves were not just property</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">They were people</span></div>

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">But I've found no evidence for that being the rule</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Hell, I haven't even found any evidence for that being <i>the exception</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Alright, re-starting at 12:45</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: Ready.</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: 3</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:34 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Also, slavery was not so big in Texas as in other states</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:35 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Seeing a black person on a horse would not have been cause for surprise, <i>especially</i> not in Texas.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: I gotta agree with you there.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">That seems a little surprising.</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:36 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: What is with this 1955-era racism in 1858?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">This is weird</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Wait, it <i>scared him off?</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">It's really not</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">This is definitely a fantasy film</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:38 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">But it's pronounced somewhere in between "prost" "phost" and "post"</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">About the only thing that's not bafflingly inaccurate is that the foreigner doesn't like slavery</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">7:39 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Europeans for some reason did not like slavery</span></div>

<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">10:37 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Gee, you released a bunch of former slaves into the economy who would work for peanuts, told them they should be angry and obnoxious towards white people, and you didn't think the middle class whites would do anything about this?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">But I digress:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Final verdict, <i>Django Unchained?</i></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: Haha, many digressions.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: Out of ten</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">What do you give it?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">10:38 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: Outta ten? Um, 6?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">Watch if you have nothing better to do and you want some laughs.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">10:39 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: Yeah, compared to his other films, it's not anywhere near as good</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">10:40 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><i>Inglourious Basterds</i> is basically the same film</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">But more satisfying</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">The Nazis make better villains</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">And, I mean, <i>Inglourious Basterds</i> is insensitive as hell</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">10:41 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">And really unfair to people like mid-level Nazi officers.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">But it's way more entertaining</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">her</span>: Yes.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;"><span dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold;">me</span>: I'm not trying to give <i>IG</i> a pass</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;">10:42 PM </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">But the characters had a reason to kill that theater full of mostly innocent people, and they kind of regretted it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">So it was easier to identify with them in the end.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #888888; display: block; float: left;"> </span><span style="display: block; padding-left: 6em;">There were more satisfying moments, too</span></div>
