From Andrew Sullivan’s Substack account:
We have yet to find any credible evidence of anti-Asian hatred or bigotry in this man’s history….
And yet. Well, you know what’s coming. Accompanying one original piece on the known facts, the NYT ran nine — nine! — separate stories about the incident as part of the narrative that this was an anti-Asian hate crime, fueled by white supremacy and/or misogyny.
Not to be outdone, the WaPo ran sixteen separate stories on the incident as an anti-Asian white supremacist hate crime. Sixteen! One story for the facts; sixteen stories on how critical race theory would interpret the event regardless of the facts.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said Friday that the four victims are 74-year-old Soon C. Park, 51-year-old Hyun J. Grant, 69-year-old Suncha Kim and 63-year-old Yong A. Yue.
Grant’s son, Randy Park, identified his mother by her maiden name, Hyun Jung Kim.
The guy is having a murderous meltdown over sexual temptation and his victims are gals my age?
(Note: this is actually less hideous. I have the natural feeling that the loss of young women--and young men--who haven't had their children and lived their lives yet, is terrible, less so us old folks. But it sure the heck is weird.)Replies: @AndrewR, @donut
“Whiteness” and “White supremacy” are todays “withcraft”. The all explaining superstition. Funnily enough, employed by the “we believe in science”-guys.
Boy, they sure don’t want to say the murderer was a porn addict who blamed the sort of people he killed as being responsible for him being a sex addict!
Those massage parlour whores were spreading degeneracy and disease. Absolutely nothing of value was lost.
How about from now on The FBI labels every interracial murder a hate crime murder, but we all know Democrats would NEVER be in favor of that for extremely obvious reasons because Black men would dominate hate crime murders just like they dominate The NBA!
I've advocated Republicans answer the minoritarians' "hate crime" fraud with this for years. Instead of their useless paddling against the lies, just go with it:
"Inter-racial crimes, inflame racial tensions in our communities and deserve special severe punishment. Inter-racial assaults and robberies deserve an additional mandatory 10 year sentence. Inter-racial rapes an additional 15 year sentence. Inter-racial murderers merit the death penalty."
Stand for law and order. Democrats are trying to leverage the nonexistence--other than blacks just behaving worse--"anti-Asian" crime wave to keep their coalition against white gentiles onside.
Stand for law and order across the board and you blow it up.Replies: @Colin Wright

I took my family horseback riding the other day in a reddest of red (politically) and whitest of white area. It’s in a county that is something like 98% white and voted for Trump by 30+ points.
Everyone I ran into, I mean every single person, was pleasant and polite. Nobody called me a virus, no one made a face, not one person said a bad word or made an unkind gesture. Nobody told me to “go home” or ask me where I was “really” from.*
But I know for certain that if I had driven across the Anacostia River, I would have encountered some racial unpleasantness. I know this, because it’s happened in the past, and long before this pandemic. For those of you who don’t know, Anacostia is 2% white and 95% black.
*One caveat: I was open-carrying a sidearm while riding. That always seems to invite politeness. 😉
About all these hysterical anti-Asian violence articles in the media – one thing I note about them is that almost all of them are quite scarce on numbers and data. They are almost entirely anecdotal (“In San Francisco, an elderly Asian person was…”).
I would speculate that this is a confluence of 1) attempts to shore up the fraying “Coalition of the Fringes” and diverting and transforming the black crime issue into a noose around white necks and 2) Asian “activists,” aka wannabe pan-Asian ethnic lobbyists (“wannabe” because that’s not a real thing that pays) jumping on and magnifying the media narrative to promote themselves and their pet cause of retarding assimilation and making Asians vote like blacks.
There is little feeling of guilt about Asians among whites as is the case with blacks (why should there be – Asians on the whole do better than whites in this country in almost all measures of well-being including the most obvious – lifespan and median family income, you know, life and money), so I think it won’t go anywhere and will just fizzle out. At least that’s what I hope… because it’s not just deceptive and hysterical – it’s also idiotic.

Unfortunately, deceptive, hysterical and idiotic are in vogue.

European and Asian are two flavors that go down so easily together you can literally see the cline of perfectly-blended admixture as you move East-West or West-East across the Eurasian landmass (A coworker of mine is married to a woman from one of the former-USSR ‘Stan’s who looks like a nail salon lady but speaks Russian and has a Russian first name). By far the greatest incidence of white-Asian violence in America, both historically and currently, is white men getting slapped by their Asian wives.
And there was the one Bezos Blog story pointed out by Hugh Hewitt about how this is really the fault of Christianity because the attacker was once a member of a Baptist youth group. Hugh’s weakest point is his disgusting faith in institutions and general boomerishness but it was very heartening to see him force himself to re-read and re-re-read the Soviet passages in this writing, searching like a good former lawyer and institution-believer for the bit where they actually talk clearly, and finally exclaiming that they just jump from concept to concept without actually trying to prove anything.
Truly you have learned Hugh: the journalistic method of today is the Chewbacca defense.
This characterizes all of the efforts to make this sex-killing into a race-killing and most journalism more generally. It is like the clumsy optical illusion where one object is juxtaposed near another and the viewer is hoped to conflate them. In fact that characterizes all the media discussion about “Russian collusion” (as well as the actual investigation and impeachment, which never said anything but depended on gossip). The only problem is that about forty per cent of our people (soon to be more) are dumb enough for it to work on them.

What kind of White person lives in a 95% African American area? An adventurous hipster with huge balls of stee trying to see if they can start the process of gentrifying the area and they offer to be the guinea pig experience to see if it’s safe for other hipsters to soon follow them? Or a White trash Eminem type wigger?
A couple of decades is ample time for the Negritude to spread and this is now a country where 40% of people can't cover a $400 emergency expense. - The US govt btw gives that amount to every Israeli every year.

The kind who is black and marks the wrong circle on the race/ethnicity question of the latest census.
Today I would think that some racially mixed buyers as well as some Hispanics are attracted to some properties in farther-out Southeast, since all real estate in Washington DC is so expensive. There are modest condos in small walk-up buildings that would attract these buyers. As well, some middle-class neighborhoods like Hillcrest have always had a handful of staid white homeowners. I know some people on here think Anacostia is like one of Chicago's worst neighborhoods, but if you aren't involved in criminal activity, much of it likely is not that bad (but is inconvenient).
Those countries that end with the word stan are all over the place phenotype wise. They can look White, they can look Hapa, and they can look like Osama Bin Laden!

I hate it when Democrats write extremely ridiculous articles claiming that since 2016 White Supremacy has now become mainstream in The United States. Bitch not even Conservatism and Centrism are considered mainstream in The United States let alone White Supremacy. There is only one political ideology that is considered mainstream in The United States and that is Wokeism. Even Apolitical is not considered mainstream in The United States. In The United States you can be Cancel Cultured for not even wanting to talk about politics. That’s the type of Clown World we live in!
The Guardian also has half a dozen stories on the attack, split between news and opinion, although you couldn’t get a cigarette paper between them these days.
Earlier this month the Guardian started purging articles by its media correspondent Roy Greenslade, whose long career previously included senior editorial positions at the Sunday Times, the Sun and the Daily Mirror – he’s also Professor of Journalism at a London uni – after Greenslade revealed that for his entire career he was a supporter of the IRA.

It was this bit that stood out, written about the Irish peace deal in 1998.
“That involved a great deal of legwork by myself and Jonathan Freedland, who was writing most of our editorials. “
That was 23 years ago, and I imagine he’s still writing most of them. Freedland is pro-Middle East wars, pro-Israel, anti-Russia, anti-Corbyn, in favour of ethnic solidarity for every group except one, against whom everyone else’s ethnic solidarity should be directed.
A lot about the Guardian’s change over the last 30 years from being economically left wing (“more wages for the workers!”) to being culturally left-wing (“more diversity in the workforce! Pity about the wages lol”) can be explained by Mr Freedland’s position as eminence grise behind the titular editor.

Agreed, Redneck. It is obvious to most people that it was some kind of sex/psychological thing.
And another thing, are they ever including or mentioning the fact that the guy shot two white ladies too? (I’m not watching any of this, just getting it from here.). It’s not like the guy just was an incompetent shooter and got 2 White ladies among all the fray. He drove to their places and shot them. What kind of racist killer does that? Was that all a clever ploy to cover his tracks? C’mon, man!
“Don’t shoot, prease! You at the Wong place.” “I came for Miss Wong.” “No Miss Wong here. You at Wong place, I try tell you!” Guy shoots himself in the head.
Those 5% could be clustered in a small area, Luzzatto, because they’ve been there forever, and they don’t want to cut and run. I’m not saying they shouldn’t cut and run, BTW – I don’t know the place, and I don’t have that cool 2010 NY Times interactive census map in my browser tab anymore to see who lives where.

My opinion is that progressive are trying to get Asians onto the “we’re discriminated against and treated badly by whites” train to distract them from the fact that progressives are trying to dismantle every merit based program in the US. Removing test scores from college admissions, eliminating magnet schools, AA quotas in education and increasingly work hiring all impact Asians negatively.
Even WOR’s Mark Simone — who’s always complaining about NYC crime but gingerly sidesteps the obvious racial component — bluntly noted that NYPD studied the anti-Asian “hate crime surge” and found 80 percent of the attackers were non-white.
80%? That low?

One of my friends said he wanted to get laid so he picks some young not unattractive girl and went upstairs with her while we waited . After about ten minutes he comes down and we left . The girl had a deck of pornographic playing cards which displayed different sexual positions which she showed him so he could indicate his pleasure . The asshole had stolen some of the cards which I thought was a contemptible thing to do , just to make her life a little shittier I guess . Any way as we approached the street that lead to the exit we heard an ominous buzzing sound literally like a stirred up wasps nest behind us and growing rapidly louder . The most terrifying sound I've ever heard . We picked up our pace not knowing who they were after we rounded the corner heading for the exit about a hundred feet away . As we did so this Turkish guy comes flying around the corner after us with the mob in full roar right on his heels . He ducked into the first house and we ducked into one a few doors down . As soon as we entered the Mama San told her girls to go up stairs and indicated for us to sit down . We waited a few minutes peeked outside saw they weren't after us and slipped out and down to the gate which was closed now and guarded by by a couple of army guys with machine guns slung over their shoulders . They just smiled at us and indicated we should wait . After a few minutes a couple of guys come down the street with a woman slung over their shoulders She was limp and blood was running out of her wounds . All the mama Sans dressed the same so you could tell them from the whores and of course they were all older woman . The dead woman and she was dead was dressed like a Mama San .

If anything, I am a little surprised that more left wing commentators haven’t tried to blame Christianity for the Atlanta murders. I am not saying that this would have been an accurate interpretation – murder is not a Christian response, and he has been disfellowshipped by his Church – but it would have an easier case to make than trying to blame racism or white supremacy.
Long, the shooter, grew up in a Southern Baptist Church, made a profession of faith, and felt that he was sinning when he visited the massage parlors, blaming them for his sex addiction. 15-20 years ago, the left probably would have blamed his religious beliefs, and articles would be written using the shootings as an example of the dangers of religious repression. But priorities have changed, and it is now being forced into a narrative about white supremacy.

I was going to write the same thing as your last 2 paragraphs. The motto of the Left is “never let a crisis go to waste”. Asian Americans were angry and upset about the attacks on elderly Asians (even though anecdotal, this is a real problem) but the attackers were always ghetto youth. It’s off limits nowadays to say anything bad about black people in public, especially if you are an Asian-American Activist who is attached to the Democrat Coalition of the Fringes. No enemies on the Left! The Atlanta attack could not have been more fortunate for the Democrats and the Asian-American Activist community – it allowed them to take all of their built up frustration and instantly redirect it at whitey.
The reason for the massive outpouring of the stories is twofold – one is that Asians are finally being allowed to blow off pent up steam now that an acceptable target has been located (never mind that the target has nothing to do with the actual problem). Two is that this offers the Dems a way to shore up the Coalition which was in danger of fracturing because Asians were really not all that keen on the Racial Reckoning which in real life meant Asian ghetto businesses getting looted, elderly Asians getting mugged, etc.
I think that at the grass roots level this is not going to work even if the Washington Post prints 160 fact free stories on how Critical Race Theory dictates that Asians must join with Black People in order to Destroy Whiteness. Who even reads this stuff? At this point, the stories are so Party Line and formulaic that you know what they are going to say even before you read them. And Asians are smart enough to know that if there have been 999 attacks by ghetto youth and 1 attack by a mentally unbalanced white guy (BTW, Asians are not without their own mentally unbalanced mass shooters) this does not really fundamentally change the nature of the problem.
But for Asian-American Activists who are attached to the Democrat Coalition of the Fringes this was a godsend. They may be Leftist Activists but they understand that they are tasked (well actually self-appointed) to (allegedly) represent the interests of their people and for the last year they have had to keep silent because the attackers on their people were black – sure they did some evasive protesting “against violence” but you really couldn’t press it too hard because the next question was going to be “who is committing this violence?”. At some point the Asian community was going to notice that their representatives were doing anything for them, weren’t even SAYING anything in their interest. So this was a golden opportunity to shore up their links to their own people while at the same time promoting the CoF.
I’m broadly in agreement with the rest.
Did someone mention “Anti-Asian hatred?”

Almost all the online race hatred is directed at Whites.
Something occurred to me. For the past seventy years, we have been subjected to anti-Russian propaganda, including non-stop Russian meddling in the elections, and yet I cannot think of a single attack against any Russians or Eastern Europeans who would be mistaken for Russians here in the United States. Yet, Trump makes a few statements about China’s culpability in the Covid 19 crisis and gets blamed for an avalanche of crime against Asians. Curious.
That said, I wrote in to correct that 70 years to about 30. During the Cold War, there was propaganda to be sure, but it was against Communists, rightly so, but never against Russians in general. We felt awfully sorry for the average Russian people (and the E. Germans, Czechs, Bulgarians, Latvians, etc...) The propaganda against Russians has only been in the Neocon era, I'd say for as little as the last 15 years, really.
It’s not the truth that needs to be endlessly repeated; it’s the lies.
Anyone who has paid any attention at all, of course, noticed decades ago that it was black attacks on Asians that were an actual problem.

Other expressions of hatred are vigorously repressed. I could demonstrate — but the post wouldn’t appear. Ask Steve.
I've advocated Republicans answer the minoritarians' "hate crime" fraud with this for years. Instead of their useless paddling against the lies, just go with it:
"Inter-racial crimes, inflame racial tensions in our communities and deserve special severe punishment. Inter-racial assaults and robberies deserve an additional mandatory 10 year sentence. Inter-racial rapes an additional 15 year sentence. Inter-racial murderers merit the death penalty."
Stand for law and order. Democrats are trying to leverage the nonexistence--other than blacks just behaving worse--"anti-Asian" crime wave to keep their coalition against white gentiles onside.
Stand for law and order across the board and you blow it up.Replies: @Colin Wright
“…Inter-racial assaults and robberies deserve an additional mandatory 10 year sentence. Inter-racial rapes an additional 15 year sentence. Inter-racial murderers merit the death penalty.”…’
Speaking as an avowed racist, I’m for it. It’s one thing if blacks want to do it to each other; a different matter entirely if they want to do it to others.

A logical assumption from that claim, if true, is that anti-white hate speech leads to increased violemce against whites. But I can guarantee the NYT won’t ever talk about that except to describe it as a “white supremacist myth”

Dude, it’s your phone, take charge of it.
Don’t invite unpleasantness into your house by default. Let that be your conscious choice, at the very least.
Everyone I ran into, I mean every single person, was pleasant and polite. Nobody called me a virus, no one made a face, not one person said a bad word or made an unkind gesture. Nobody told me to "go home" or ask me where I was "really" from.*
But I know for certain that if I had driven across the Anacostia River, I would have encountered some racial unpleasantness. I know this, because it's happened in the past, and long before this pandemic. For those of you who don't know, Anacostia is 2% white and 95% black.
*One caveat: I was open-carrying a sidearm while riding. That always seems to invite politeness. ;)
About all these hysterical anti-Asian violence articles in the media - one thing I note about them is that almost all of them are quite scarce on numbers and data. They are almost entirely anecdotal ("In San Francisco, an elderly Asian person was...").
I would speculate that this is a confluence of 1) attempts to shore up the fraying "Coalition of the Fringes" and diverting and transforming the black crime issue into a noose around white necks and 2) Asian "activists," aka wannabe pan-Asian ethnic lobbyists ("wannabe" because that's not a real thing that pays) jumping on and magnifying the media narrative to promote themselves and their pet cause of retarding assimilation and making Asians vote like blacks.
There is little feeling of guilt about Asians among whites as is the case with blacks (why should there be - Asians on the whole do better than whites in this country in almost all measures of well-being including the most obvious - lifespan and median family income, you know, life and money), so I think it won't go anywhere and will just fizzle out. At least that's what I hope... because it's not just deceptive and hysterical - it's also idiotic.Replies: @Luzzatto, @MSP, @Desiderius, @Jack D, @Adam Smith

And for really classy race-baiting look at the reporting that RT picked up on here.

Surely even the most rabid supporter of Trump who somehow thinks calling something the China flu is a rallying cry to attack Chinese people, can work out that Thailand is not in China.
NYPD studied the anti-Asian “hate crime surge” and found 80 percent of the attackers were non-white.
80%? That low?
Queens is the rare county where blacks are better off than whites, at least a couple of censuses ago. In large part that was due to the Archies and Ediths clinging to their paid-off homes, and a statistical jolt to black income due to self-selected ambitious immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean.
Vancouver, BC is another such place, though I forget whether it was in income or crime where blacks did better than whites. Perhaps both. There it is both selection and self-selection at work. Canada has admissions standards (on paper, anyway, now), and it’s the Seattle and San Francisco of Canada, attracting the young, able, and ambitious.
Speaking of Canada, all that sealclubbing develops very strong arms:

Vancouver is only 0.9% Black. The reason Vancouver does not have a Black crime problem is because of demographics and not because Black nations are sending Vancouver their best!
If it bleeds it leads. In 1951 the headline “nymphomaniac murders exotic eastern prostitutes” would have sold the most newspapers. In 2021 “white supremacist murders asian american women” gets the most clicks.

I had to look this up, Desiderius, because one of my devices is (hopefully WAS) still doing this. I didn’t even know there’s a “News” app on there (for FREE!!). Click on that, just this once, then look at the bottom where there 4 items [Today], [News+], [Audio], and [Following]. Mash the rightmost one, [Following], and undo the red dots that are by “Politics” and “COVID-19”, or anything else for that matter. No, I didn’t ask for that shit either. I hope this will help for both yours and mine.
Maybe you meant the bigger picture than default-on phone apps by “What is to be done?” Prep like your life depends on it. Keep reading here. Start reading prepper sites, and maybe Peak Stupidity for fun. (Who do you have to blow around the Apple campus to get your app on by default?)
MPS, I wrote pretty much the same thing to some dumbass anon on another thread who believes the ludicrous idea that even if I am pissed that the Kung Flu came from China, which I’m not, I would take it out on a Chinaman here. (There are other things to take out on them, basically, that there are just too many, occasionally they are very ungracious guests, or industrial spies, and most of them need to go home.)
That said, I wrote in to correct that 70 years to about 30. During the Cold War, there was propaganda to be sure, but it was against Communists, rightly so, but never against Russians in general. We felt awfully sorry for the average Russian people (and the E. Germans, Czechs, Bulgarians, Latvians, etc…) The propaganda against Russians has only been in the Neocon era, I’d say for as little as the last 15 years, really.

There are no anecdotes in this one about riding on car hoods like T.J. Hooker to prevent escape of his honey in China, Farenheit, but he does point out a 3rd-party humorous anecdote in his most recent post on unz.
The NYT and WaPo will deliberately avoid investigating whether any of the massage parlors where the shootings took place were indeed engaging in paid sexual activity with their customers.
The risk of doing so would not only expose these Asian-run businesses as engaging in seedy illegal paid sexual activity, but it would also implicate the Asian women who were killed as being less than wholesome.
Not a good business strategy to do real actual journalism in this case.

“What kind of White person lives in a 95% African American area? ”
The kind who is black and marks the wrong circle on the race/ethnicity question of the latest census.
How is it he killed so many old people? I thought they were prostitutes.
Among everything else that this blog so ably covers, one of the problems is that polite society no longer identifies “lust” as a sin.
(Admit it guys: as soon as you read that, you smirked. Even the guys who contribute here do not think lust is a sin. You don’t even believe in sin, really.)
The murdering creep was consumed by lust – and probably envy, another sin. His lust and his envy, unnamed and unchecked, forced him to murder.
But in our crazy society the only real sin is racism, so he was a racist. Please note that racism crowds out misogyny, so this proves which group gets the prizes.
I said SSI, not Social Security. You d0n’t have to pay in to collect SSI.
You have to be a “qualified alien” and meet one of the five conditions (one of which is work), but even that is not allowed in the first five years after arrival. Moreover, if he was sponsored by his child (presumably a citizen), the sponsor is financially responsible for the immigrant and any assistance from the government will negatively affect his permanent residency/Naturalization application.I might also add that Asians have the lowest rate of receiving government assistance in the U.S. among all the racial (and ethnic, counting Hispanics) groups, lower even than whites. Per capita/family, they have higher median income (meaning higher median taxed contributed) and lower welfare usage rate, so likely contribute into the system than any other group.Replies: @Brutusale
Plus, don’t you think that “the community” has plenty of doctors who will vouch that Uncle Chito was disabled, qualifying him for SSDI?
I think this whole thing will backfire. First of all, a lot of people – and I don’t mind admitting I’m one – didn’t know that these massage parlors were fronts for prostitution. Now they do.
And I’m not *that* native. I can figure out why certain motels charge by the half-hour. But I really thought licensed massage parlors were semi-legit. (Meaning that massage is probably not clinically significant.)
So this will shore up so-called stereotypes of Asian women as sex fetishes. That plays right into the woke playbook. They claim to hate stereotypes. In reality they love them.
Oh, we try not to.
That’s not as easy as it used to be.

Of course not. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. It may be difficult, but it is necessary. Atomized individuals are easier to control by the state, which is why those who subvert liberty through the control of the state try to demolish or control all other social institutions, big or small, esp. those that command devotion such as churches.

In 2021 I don’t know what the racial statistics are for Anacostia and other parts of SE DC not considered to be that desirable, but as late as the 1970s I occasionally ran into people from white families who had purchased homes in these areas sometime after World War II and never left. People who wanted a single-family home with a front and back yard that looked almost rural were attracted to these quiet neighborhoods that often had little commercial activity. This type of family went everywhere in a car, often to neighboring Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Today I would think that some racially mixed buyers as well as some Hispanics are attracted to some properties in farther-out Southeast, since all real estate in Washington DC is so expensive. There are modest condos in small walk-up buildings that would attract these buyers. As well, some middle-class neighborhoods like Hillcrest have always had a handful of staid white homeowners. I know some people on here think Anacostia is like one of Chicago’s worst neighborhoods, but if you aren’t involved in criminal activity, much of it likely is not that bad (but is inconvenient).

It is the same street shot with different lenses that in one case compress and in the other stretch the view, relatively. The same tall white building is in the back on the right in each picture, and the Oddfellows Temple is identifiable in each. Though it lacks the marquee in the second shot, the words “Oddfellows Temple” are visible, etched into the stone, ending right where the street lamp is.
The mountain is now visible because the buildings on the left are gone.

On a port visit to Izmir , Turkey in the early 70’s a couple of friends and me went to the walled off area where the prostitutes were . It was surreal a whole little neighborhood with streets and separate little houses wall-to-wall , there were little carts scattered around selling street food and beer/soda . Each door had one clear pane that you could survey what was on offer through . It was too grotesque for me a lot of the places had a red light in the little room at the entrance which probably served to disguise the defects but gave the whole thing a nightmarish quality .
One of my friends said he wanted to get laid so he picks some young not unattractive girl and went upstairs with her while we waited . After about ten minutes he comes down and we left . The girl had a deck of pornographic playing cards which displayed different sexual positions which she showed him so he could indicate his pleasure . The asshole had stolen some of the cards which I thought was a contemptible thing to do , just to make her life a little shittier I guess . Any way as we approached the street that lead to the exit we heard an ominous buzzing sound literally like a stirred up wasps nest behind us and growing rapidly louder . The most terrifying sound I’ve ever heard . We picked up our pace not knowing who they were after we rounded the corner heading for the exit about a hundred feet away . As we did so this Turkish guy comes flying around the corner after us with the mob in full roar right on his heels . He ducked into the first house and we ducked into one a few doors down . As soon as we entered the Mama San told her girls to go up stairs and indicated for us to sit down . We waited a few minutes peeked outside saw they weren’t after us and slipped out and down to the gate which was closed now and guarded by by a couple of army guys with machine guns slung over their shoulders . They just smiled at us and indicated we should wait . After a few minutes a couple of guys come down the street with a woman slung over their shoulders She was limp and blood was running out of her wounds . All the mama Sans dressed the same so you could tell them from the whores and of course they were all older woman . The dead woman and she was dead was dressed like a Mama San . The guy had gotten into an argument with a whore and pulled a knife and Mama San jumped in between them to try to protect the girl so he killed her and the girl .
So maybe these older women died in the same way for the same reason .

The guy had gotten into an argument with a whore and pulled a knife and Mama San jumped in between them to try to protect the girl so he killed her and the girl .
So maybe these older women died in the same way for the same reason .Replies: @anon
Cool story, bro.

No.
Upper Middle Class?
Trying desperately to wake them up before it’s too late.
You grossly overestimate the power of the fully functional unz.com in that regard, while seriously underestimating much larger social currents. I know of UMC professionals who came close to weeping tears of joy when Biden was selected. You won't reach them in any way with your comments here.
Your erstwhile debunking in this comment (in reality a massive Steyer-style non sequitur) is just another case in point.
Oh, gosh! Are you upset by facts, again? That's a shame.
You’re gulping the Kool Aid by the gallon.
Why so contentious lately? What do you expect this emotionalism to accomplish?Replies: @Desiderius
Yes, of course the UMC, so terrified of appearing pathetic they’re apathetic in the face of a speeding freight train running them over. There are worse things than “emotionalism.”
The fact is that coal is not being phased out globally and to use passive voice there is exactly the shameful apathy I am speaking of. Whether out or cowardice, vanity (as in your case), ignorance, or avarice in the larger scheme of things matters little.
Jack understands my depth of learning, breadth of experience, and the extent to which our interests coincide. Of course there’s nothing I can say to a Biden weeper but they weren’t the ones making the disastrous decisions of the past year. If I can reach a few of those who did then maybe they can consider the possibility that they’ve missed a significant part of the picture.
It’s famously said that a man cannot be reasoned out of a position he was not reasoned into. The natural corollary that follows is that other alternatives must then be employed given the urgency of the task, including your emotionalism (sic), especially given how well that has worked to cower so many into this dishonorable state.
Dude, you must know different doctors/dentists/lawyers/upper-level-administrators than I do. They may or may not be terrified, but it isn't of "appearing pathetic".

Sure, but so what?

Uh.. what? Could you define "apathy" as you are using it?

Dude, you can read minds? I've never, ever seen anyone who could do that over the Intertubes before! Great!
Ok, so what am I thikning rite now? What's my fave color?
lol.

Really? How do you know that / why do you believe that?

Why do you believe that "the ones making the disastrous decisions of the past year" are reachable via this comments section? For example, do you think that Ted Wheeler reads this site? How about Jenny Durken, is she lurking here in secret?
lol. Get a grip on reality, dude!

Lol, whatever, dude. Ever meet the perpetual graduate student? The guy who spends hours in the library on their computers, then goes to the coffee shop to intensely argue with people? The guy who has made almost zero progress on his actual degree plan?
Just wondering. Asking for friend, as it were.

Reminds me of those polls that have been circulating around that say something like “Twenty of Gen Z is QueerTM!” Now, gay people (counting bisexuals) have been a fairly stable four percent of the population over time, so a big jump like that doesn’t make much sense. It’d be like if left-handedness, at ten percent of the population, appeared in forty percent of a generational cohort. So there are two possibilities: Either there’s something about a generational cohort that’s changing their sexuality or shenanigans. Seeing as sexuality is (at least apparently) inborn, I’m going with shenanigans. Small sample sizes, juvenile jokes, applause-seeking, and over-broad definitions can all be used to fiddle with data to make something look far more common.
And when did “queer” stop being a slur, anyway?
