Like Cleverness, But Less So

In the nightmare, I’m held at gunpoint and for 24 hours am forced to read aloud works of “queer theory.” I begin with W. Benjamin Myers’ thoughts on “straight and white teeth as a metaphor for a straight and White identity” – and which allegedly reveal the “uninterrogated Whiteness” of routine dental hygiene and its role in maintaining “arrogant and ignorant straight and White identities.”

While you marvel at the naff, strained metaphor – teeth-brushing as an expression of “Whiteness,” an allegedly pathological state – and the irrelevant, space-filling anecdotal rambling, and the unearned, predetermined conclusion, and the invocation of Judith Butler – this Judith Butler – do spare a thought for your gracious host. As I poke at the smouldering wreckage of academia.

On “queer theory” and other wonders of Dumb Academia.

  1. Academia never had all that far to fall in the first place. Imposition of individual hallucinations on the historic record was not uncommon 50 years ago.

  2. Nihilism and the pathologies that fill the void. As Les Bewley wrote almost 50 years ago in the Vancouver Sun: “Humanities faculties should be replaced with library cards.”

  3. I’ll just post this here:

    Rick Beato, -ROASTING- the New York Times and the Ivy League morons who made the recent NYT list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters.

    From the very lips of the moron himself, Billy Joel didn’t make their list but Bad Bunny [seriously?] did, because Billy Joel is a white dude “who wrote the same song many times.” Oh and white angst is not a good song. Just so you know.

    From my experience in Anthropology in the 1970s (holy crap that’s a long time ago) I can tell you that it’s all like that. Pretentious poseurs, pomposity and the most appalling stupidity rolled up into a ball.

    Gender studies are much worse. Those people are actively insane. They can’t even communicate with other humans anymore, they just REEEEEEEEE!!!! at everything. Like screaming toads. And most of them resemble toads, to be frank.

  4. FILTHY LIBERALS
    PHD – Piled Higher and Deeper
    PHD – Papa Has Dough

    Mark Carney is the perfect example of an “Educated” short man, who claims to be an Economist, but not educated enough to understand how to save $11 Billion on a Deficit. OR, he is a FILTHY LIBERAL LIAR.

    Either way, he is just like a Real Economist, only Shorter, and he is a LIAR.
    What a great example he sets for other Short Marxist People and Goalies.
    ELBOWS UP, Retards.

  5. I always found it … queer … that after sex … I’d be ravenously hungry, and need a sandwich. Was I a Queer in hetero clothing?
