One thing about being as old and as useless as I am is I can tell any and all of them to go pound sand.
You n Me both OWG…and I could give a shit either.
Thin skinned vacuous wankers for the most.
Liberal voters.
Progressives..?? nope, Closet Communists
One might think of some of them they are so deep in the closet they don’t know they are communists. But it is probably more accurate to say they are so ignorant they don’t know what communism is, so they don’t know they are its dupes. What they do know is just that it feels good to be part of the “in” crowd and have an “out” group they are encouraged to hurt.
I’m not a psychologist nor a psychiatrist. The below analysis is based upon my years-long role as Usenet’s Friendly Neighborhood Kook Wrangler… it was my job to engage with the broken-brained who were disrupting productive conversations with whackadoodle hypothesizations and strange-ideology blather, to hold their attention, to divert them to another newsgroup, then to hammer on their psyche until they broke, in the hopes of either driving them away permanently, or building them back up to some semblance of sanity. I’ve broken so many I lost count. I’ve rehabilitated only a handful… and is anyone surprised that the rehabilitated get red-pilled?
These people have been lied to and indoctrinated throughout their entire lives. As such, they’re mentally deranged. Their brains have been intentionally miswired, making them into useful idiot puppets of the socialist / communist elitists, to be used only to enrich and empower those elists.
We can’t fix them by coddling them, empathizing with them, gently bringing them back to reality… the neurological patterns laid down over a lifetime are fixed, cemented, permanent. It requires a shock to the system to break those patterns.
No, what we have to do is figure out ways to tip them over the edge. Only after they suffer a catastrophic break from reality will we have the chance to rebuild their psyches such that their beliefs are at least tangentially related to reality.
Here’s a recent example… a snowflake begged for victim points by stating that he’d never ordered from Subway, and was experiencing debilitating waves of panic at the thought of doing so. The liberals molly-coddled the person, reinforcing that neurotic synaptic connection in their broken brain, thereby exacerbating the behavior. That person will do the same in the future… you get more of what you encourage, and less of what you discourage. Thus, that person will remain a useless individual.
I foresee a time in the not too distant future in which these snowflakes will have panic attacks over having to learn to use the toilet at age 25.
The time of no-spanking, everyone gets a trophy, ‘you’re great no matter how pathetic you are’ should have ended long ago. We now see the result of that misadventure into mis-parenting, an entire generation of entitled, useless, depressed and idiotic infantilized do-nothings still living at home with mommy and daddy as 40 year old virgins.
So pull on your steel-toed boots, boys. It’s time to start drop-kicking these kooks back toward reality.
the two words are interchangeable.
I can tell any and all of them to go pound sand
You can’t even do that any more because you’ll be reprimanded and scolded for “not being respectful”. Never mind that the twerps think nothing of shooting off their mouths and telling you to go forth and multiply, and it doesn’t take much to get them to do that, either.
“We’re young. We’re paying your pension. You have to do as we tell you!”
No, you’re not. Me, I have no debts, some money, and I’m old enough to be your grandpappy. How big of a cheque can you write without it making a dent in your net worth? Oh, yeah, you’ve got all those student loans to pay off, don’t you?
But I’m the one who’s an idiot because he doesn’t have a smartphone, couldn’t care less about making YouTube videos, and doesn’t have a Farcebook account…..
and I can still tell anyone and everyone to go pound sand. there no one on planet earth capable of scolding me.
“… it’s not Progressive …”
It is Progressive. This kind of bigotry is exactly what Progressivism is all about.
You have to recognize a problem before you can do anything about it.
Yes, it’s Progressive, but it’s not progressive, in any good sense. Those who can only think in Newspeak don’t know the general meaning of progress. In old speak progress means movement toward, it doesn’t necessarily mean movement toward something better or something worse. The purveyors of Newspeak are making progress toward a cliff. It might be fun to see their “progress” past that point, but I don’t mind that I’m old enough that I won’t be sticking around watching the reruns.
One doesn’t have to be old to experience that. I was in my mid-40s when I quit my teaching position at Armpit College and I soon found out about age discrimination. Many of the places I approached thought I wouldn’t be a good “fit” with the kiddies that they hired as well as being considered to be antiquated.
Never mind that I didn’t get to be that age by being stupid, ill-disciplined, and incompetent. Then again, I was old enough to figure out what sort of games those outfits played with their employees.
BA, I experienced age discrimination about 30 years ago. A headhunter from Toronto contacted me regarding my specific skills at the time. We spent an hour in conversation about the “opportunity” they had in Toronto. I was managing a fairly large distribution network covering eastern Ontario at the time. When I told him my age and my salary expectations he thanked for my time but I never heard from him again. I wondered at the time why he called me. He had to have known that I could not be at the level I was if I was younger.
I remember one interview I had with an outfit in Regina some 15 years ago. Within minutes, I wondered why I was there. I’m sure that outfit wanted to legitimately claim that they interviewed all “qualified” candidates, regardless of age or background.
Some time later, I saw one of the people from that company in a TV ad, bragging about that firm’s “cutting-edge” technology. It was nothing but crapola.
I gave up a day going out to its facilities for what proved to be a complete waste of my time.
This might give more away than I wish to, but at one point a few years before I decided to stop working, I knew that I was never going to get a job that I was qualified for so I started looking around for something to do. A small ad in a local paper put me on track to talk to a much younger man than myself, he was in the gaming industry. He hired me, paid for my gaming license, covered all my costs related to the business, paid for my car, not a company car, my car. It was an interesting and enjoyable experience until the government greed started cutting into the profits. I was making amazing money for doing next to nothing, chasing down provincial licenses for retailers, collecting money for the firm, pushing our companies services and enjoying my 4 hour work days. I can without qualification say it was indeed the best “job” I ever had. I quit working a couple of years after I left that firm.
Am I supposed to believe the organizations that traffic in this shrek are the most productive ones?
Or would that be asking too much.
FYI
I’ve decided that when the enforced quota system is integrated into my workplace that I will self declare as every quality on the checklist.
I think it is fun to image a world where older competent men just withdrew their services. Gone Galt. How long would it take before the “wheels” of the machinery of modern life fell off? Probably never happen but it but it would be a good laug!
The economy would be moving like 90 year old with walker, maybe.
Heh,
The younger generations are screwing the world all on their own.
Old men, as it appears have no say except whey they have no capacity to govern, then its ok, its the younger that own them and run things.
Check with certain Biden the guy that has never done a day’s work in his miserable life.
On the other hand another old man that actually accomplished a lot in life and seem to be in good condition was, so they say, rejected.
The war is peace, hate is love, lies are truth ……
You may find this informative and find quite contemporary with current events. Of course those are the ideas of old white men from another time.
He done went and impregnated a female and the corporate-state then went and stamped its ownership with a SIN number on the offspring and now we are supposed to be sympathetic because of his predicament? Impregnating females is not a human right!!!
Has he not been paying attention to what’s been going on for the past thirty years?
Old white guys, there’s still places you can go on this planet where you’ll be respected. You’ll get by with English. There’s websites where you can volunteer e.g. Workaway or go with a Church group and build a school or provide a professional service. You can make a difference in the lives of decent human beings and leave this BS behind (at least until your return). Take your money. Take your skills elsewhere and have a great experience. And maybe last ticket will be a one-way. I’m 65+ and still plan to head out this year-covid-no-covid-extortion-no extortion. Time is running out.
Just Saying, will you get to leave without your “covid passport”, the latest road block to freedom world wide. By the way, my church has been closed to me for almost a year now. When they did open with restricted attendance I told them point blank that I will not attend a church, any church, that has to tell the government how many people were there, and that I was there. They weren’t impressed, I guess the loss of our tithes was not significant. Christ was crucified and other than Him, it was 100% deadly. The whu who flu has a 99.8% recovery rate or deadly 0.02% of the time. Yet we closed the doors to our churches.
Some country’s have opened up in recent months and others are locking down again cuz of increased numbers. Some countries quarantine. Some don’t. Airlines and Immigration pretty well all want a recent covid test at this time. In transit stops don’t matter. In time I expect they will want a “covid passport” that requires proof of having had the vaccine.
I’ve looked at the numbers and decided for me being relatively healthy and taking some basic precautions I’ll risk the travel. That’s me, my choice. My risk-benefit equation. Others make their own choices for themselves and I accommodate as I can.
In that Moderna test trial, of those in the placebo group (mixed bag) that came down with covid, 15% had severe symptoms (none died).
The authorities have been highhanded, dishonest, inconsistent & have no clear stated objective. For them its just a numbers game and they couldn’t care less about the pain they are causing. To offset the spread from packing 300 in a plane NO QUESTIONS ASKED & outright lying about the risk, they limit the number of church goers.
I hadn’t meant to be rude.
Was having a very pleasant chat with parents and their university student daughter at a communal table at Granville Island, Vancouver. I asked the young lady about her field of study, which turned out to be Human Resources. Again, not intending to be rude, I asked if the students were mostly women. “Yes” she said and BLUSHED BEET RED. The parents were squirming a little.
This guy in this thread was LUCKY.
M N D, I never worry about being rude anymore, go for it, it is all some people deserve.
Boys are identifying as girls in order to win sports scholarships.
White men should seriously think about filling diversity quotas.
No one has to wear a dress, speak in a high pitched voice, or do any sort of “feminine” thing – many middle aged white women never do or wear any sort of feminine thing, even their haircuts are often kind of butch.
I call this reverse sexual harassment. What do I mean by that? Well … the young millennial women WANT a young, cute (well-hung) MOC (man of color) to sexually harass. After all … it’s THEIR TURN to practice sexual harassment … right. And, they just aren’t interested in saggy old white men. Sorry fellas, but the “daddy” fantasies only exist on PornHub … not in reality.
Oh! And they don’t want exclusively young MOC … but young LOC (Lesbians of color), and TOC (trannies of color – chiks with diks) will also fill the bill.
Huh?
Covid has all the younger folks working from home. Their not going to give that up easily.
Why spend time/$ commuting?
Last Friday i had 50,000ft2 of office to myself. It is glorious, no whinging, no interruptions, no lineups at the coffee station/washroom/elevator .
I may have to revisit retiring this year.
Effing awesome.
No Country for Old Men was a good movie
Yeah it’s so subtle (not!). Ads lately, esp. from govts of all levels, but from large corps as well – all should have the declaration at the end: “no straight, white males were used in the making of this ad”. You’d almost forget that Caucasians still (unfortunately, to some) make up at least two thirds of the population in Canada, the US and UK. “Shut up and just keep picking up the tab” seems to be the message.
