Your Moral and Intellectual Superiors

The Spectator- New York Times: Dry January is racist

There is so much to unpack in this article. Let’s start here:

((A broader modern temperance movement promoting “clean” living traffics in moral superiority and old racist ideas.))

This is key. The narcissism is so entrenched on the Left that they are incapable of divorcing themselves from something they observe. “Moral Superiority” is a telling phrase. What Tressie McMillan Cottom is telling you is that when she does something she thinks everyone else should do, she is unwilling to accept your non-participation or non-agreement. She is projecting that flaw in her character onto others. And, should you do something she doesn’t wish to participate in, you are flexing your moral superiority (and this is important) even if, and most especially if, you don’t give a shit whether she participates or not. How dare you. 😀

((‘Cutesy individual solutions cannot solve big social problems, like alcoholism or cancer.’ ))

Oh, that’s a nice set of ribbons you are wearing. What do they all mean. Hey, does your HOA know you have a giant Rainbow Flag hanging from your house. What’s that? There is a parade where we’re all going to get half naked and celebrate our non-traditional sexual proclivities? Fantastic….and “cutesy.”

My take away on Tressie McMillan Cottom is pretty clear. She is racist. She is lazy in picking a topic like this without substance or legitimate documentation. She is obtuse to what is actually happening around her. And, she’s a lot less important that she thinks she is.

How do these bimbos stay on the payroll?

Dry January stinks of moral superiority and racism? No, it’s just stupid.

But she’s pocketed cash for writing such “incisive” drivel.

Liberal racist millionaires want to promote division and hate, that’s understandable because they derive power and then money by promoting hate, but insulting readers with mindless bimbos has got to backfire on them, a person would have to be as dumb as a university professor to take this seriously.

Yep. She was paid for that drivel. Apparently that’s all that matters to an alcoholic ‘journalist’.

Are self-respect and staying healthy predominately white traits? Not that I’ve noticed.

Who’s the racist here.?

What a bunch of NYT and AMERICAN drivel.

According to the left everything is racist, so of course its racist you racists.

There are only 12 months in a year, I have no intention of staying sober for one of them.

Inferiors … the word is: inferiors

Dry January is racist. Of course, isn’t everything?

The only response appropriate to this kind of drivel is to yawn and never think about it again.

l pride (oops more racism!!) myself on being skilled linguistically.
l dont at all get the connexion despite the claim. she doesnt *really* get into
spelling it out, to lazy l guess, like trannies, just make the ‘claim’ and ALL must adhere.

Dry January is stupid. If you are a drunk get treatment, don’t expect me to give up a couple of daily pints because some idiot thinks that bars and pubs should lose money in January.
