Sauces, Goose, Gander For The Use Of

We’ve all seen recently that acolytes of the Left have been vandalizing Tesla cars, destroying Tesla charging points and attempting to damage Tesla dealerships — all because they disapprove of what Tesla founder Elon Musk has been doing to bloated government, or soemthing.

POTUS Trump calls these activities “domestic terrorism” while several people at CNN label them “a protest“.

I just want to see if I’ve got this clear.

So according to CNN:  if I were to, say, firebomb Michael Moore’s (empty) house because I strongly disagree with all the things he’s said, that would be just “a protest” ?

What about painting “Lefty Scum” on Chuck Schumer’s car?  Also “a protest” ?

How about circulating a bumper sticker like this one?

Would this too be an example of First-Amendment-protected “protest” ?

I’m just trying to understand the ground rules, here.

Counter-Revolution

So now we are faced with this line of bullshit:

…this, in addition to the attacks on Tesla dealerships all over the place.

I have two thoughts on this.

Firstly, I’d love someone to find out which organization, precisely, paid for these bumper stickers.

Secondly, there is a Tesla dealership in Plano — specifically, in the uber-trendy Legacy West strip — which, coincidentally, is literally less than a hundred yards from a Plano P.D. mini-station.  I think I’ll swing by said cop-shop in the next few days to see if they’ve increased surveillance of the dealership — there are cameras a-plenty already installed in the area — because if they have, they’d be able to nab any “protesters” (vandals) pretty much in the act.

What I’d really like to do is sit across the road in my parked car late at night with some kind of anti-goblin accessory* at hand, e.g.

…but I doubt whether New Wife would let me, and the Plano fuzz would probably also disapprove thereof.  Pity.

In general, it appears that as Trump and DOGE are becoming more and more successful in their attempts to MAGA, the Left are beginning to despair — which means that there’s an ever-increasing prospect of Antifa/anti-Israel/BLM/eco-terrorist-type violence in the offing.

In the above article, the author writes:

In a free country of hundreds of millions of people, bad and destructive ideas are bound to catch on among a few thousand lunatics. But we have a cure for anti-American and anti-Semitic criminal behavior: put the criminals who act unlawfully upon those ideas in prison, confiscate their funds, uproot their criminal networks, deter their would-be imitators, and give public spaces back to the decent Americans who deserve them.

He left out another kind of cure:  a contrary populace who are just as angry as these anti-Western terrorist wannabes and have had it up to here with their bullshit.  Just remember:  they fucking started it, and they should not be surprised if there’s a visceral, bitter reaction to their little reindeer games.

Just sayin’.


*Of course, I don’t actually own anything evil like that — may I remind you of that Tragic Boating Accident On The Brazos all those years ago? — but you get my drift.

Death Wish

Here’s a lovely story out of France:

They said the man was sitting at a bus stop with a knife in each hand.  “When police turned up, he ran towards them, without saying a word,” the source added.
One of the officers then used an electric stun gun but failed to control the crazed man.

Remarkable restraint under the circumstances, say I.

Another officer then quickly opened fire with his pistol and hit the suspect in the chest.  There were attempts to revive the man but he was declared dead at the scene.

Of course, this being “journalism”, we aren’t told how many times the asshole was shot, which is important.  French fuzz typically use 9mm Europellets in their sidearms, which makes me think that he was double-tapped (at least).  Or if a single shot, it was nice and accurate and blew out Knife Boy’s heart — in which the cop is to be applauded.

Either way, we should be told.

And at least the corpus delicti  didn’t take a knife to a gunfight, but two knives.  Which didn’t help his case much.

Finally, we don’t know anything about said asshole, but I wouldn’t bet against it being a “migrant” of African origin or else a Muzzie who hates infidels, rather than some local nutcase named Jean-Pierre du Peau-Le-Plus-Blanc.

Either way, we should be told.

I suspect that it was one of the former categories rather than the last, simply because we aren’t told anything about him.

“Moderate”

When looking at this little show (via Insty, thankee Squire), I was struck by one thing that CAIR chick screamed:

“I demand Jihad, I want ISIS to kill all of you.”

…which right there gives us the difference between a “moderate” Muslim and an “extremist” Muslim:  the extremist (ISIS) wants to kill all Jews, while the moderate (CAIR) wants ISIS to kill all Jews, and is quite okay with that.

Hope that clears everything up for you.

 

Another Perspective

Last month I examined Christopher Rufo’s opinion on modern-day anarchism (although he calls it nihilism).  Now I see that Freddie de Boer has a slightly different take on the matter:

I argue that there is a certain treacherous animal spirit stalking around in the WEIRD world, particularly among the young, a yearning for deliverance… and if they have to, they’ll take deliverance through violence. Our culture has erased transcendent meaning and left in its place short-form internet video, frothy pop music, limitless pornography, Adderall for the educated and fentanyl for the not, a ceaseless parade of minor amusements that distract but never satisfy. And people want to be satisfied; they want something durable. They want something to hold on to. They want to transcend the ordinary. And I’m afraid that, with God dead and the romantic ideal ironized into annihilation, the pure thrill of violence is one of the only outlets left to express the inexpressible, and committing violent acts is free.

It is an excellent study, and I recommend it greatly.

And while I’ll leave the solution thereof to the psychologists and therapists, I’m suggesting that now — more than ever — is the time when one should always be armed, less some disaffected young asshole takes it in his head to experience the “thrill of violence” at a place where you happen to be.

It’s bad enough that we should be armed against random robbers not to mention those of the BLM/Antifa persuasion, but now there might be some dreamy anarchists to deal with as well…
