The Intersectional Brain Rot
“I deleted my perfectly good and excellently insightful post about the United Health guy because the trolls, and on the earlier version of this, were so overwhelming. First time its happened to me. Strange it was for that, a not-very-political post,” tweeted Charles Haywood.
What exactly had he tweeted? What was his “perfectly good and excellently insightful post about the United Health guy?” This:
I don’t generally approve of murdering people on the street. Nor do I know anything about the dead guy. But it’s good and salutary if the very many guilty among our elites start to live in fear of expedited, unanswerable, and unexpected punishment for their sins.
This is the world of the intersectional left. They have divided the world into oppressors and the oppressed. As a result, they can see a world of guilty elite who need to live in fear for their lives for their supposed sins.
We’re seeing woke reasoning poisoning a lot of people. The world is being divided by class, by race, by ability, by sexuality, etc. Instead of seeing Americans as individuals who should each be judged on the content of their character, Americans must be placed into categories and levels of oppression.
The wokes are cheering on the murder of an American business executive. Many of them have bought the lie that somehow all the insurance companies are terrible and they are bad people letting others die. Except in the countries that have government-run healthcare, they too are letting people die. They are ever more rapidly embracing assisted suicide to pressure people into killing themselves to save the state money.
Canada long ago started encouraging people to kill themselves. Now, Great Britain is headed down that road. There will always be a claims adjuster who denies a claim. But the insurance companies are not rolling up with a suicide pod to kill you.
And even if they were, it does not justify cheering on the murder of a husband and father, nor should it lead anyone into thinking it is “good and salutary” if the elite live in fear of being murdered.
That is not justice except in a very perverted and demented sense.
Now, here is the other problem.
Charles Haywood may be woke, but he’d consider himself a conservative Christian. In fact, though I do not know him, I understand he has funded a number of Christian Nationalist causes and founded the Society for American Civic Renewal.
As I have said repeatedly, the wokes are not just on the left. Their demented worldview is infecting too many people. Our society is being overrun with those whose mental problems are being confused for genius online and in news rooms.
The Bronze Star
When President Joe Biden gave the Bronze Star to Sgt. Mark Cizler, the Washington Post declared the Bronze Star is “one of the Army's most prestigious awards.”
But as Republicans have defended Pete Hegseth and pointed to his Bronze Star, the very same Washington Post now claims, “Bronze Stars, like those Hegseth earned, are common among military officers.”
The Bronze Star is, to the Hamas propagandists at the Washington Post, a situational award. If someone not in politics or with Democrat ties gets the Bronze Star, it is a big deal. If a Republican gets it, well everyone has gotten them so ignore it.
The American press corps is signaling loudly that they’d rather go out of business than change their partisan ways.
Hat tip to John Hasson for pointing out the double standard.
The “Stop Hegseth” campaign now has ten anonymous sources about his drinking that is disputed by on the record sources and an allegation that Hegseth had a beer on St. Patrick’s Day in New York.
Oh, and now, he got a Bronze Star, but they’re not special when Republicans get them. However, when Robert Mueller gets one, it is worth reporting.
I find it ironic and maddening that many of the problems these leftists are calling out are directly caused by Obamacare.
And if they think universal healthcare is the answer. Hahaha. Go to Britain with their “death” panels who ration care based on factors of age social usefulness and even race creed sex etc…
No matter the problems it shouldn’t be a death sentence for a CEO.
And this to me is just the beginning. Trump better beef up security. Because we are still a long way from Jan 20th.
Erick is right to call out the postliberals on the Right and Left who are celebrating the assassination of this CEO to create a permission structure for greater levels of political violence. I don't like how our healthcare system works either and this CEO may have been engaging in some unethical practices (the allegation is that he created an AI algorithm to deny people's health insurance claims). But progressives ignore that our system is not free-market in the sense of laissez-faire capitalism. It's a system where big government and corporations can jack up prices together. They ignore that the affordable care act made healthcare more unaffordable because they don't want to see their role in making the problem worse. Even at that, insurance companies make (based on a google search), a 3.86% profit margin and most Americans are satisfied with their insurance providers. There is much we can and should do to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for people but this sort of late-stage capitalism nihilism you see from the people rooting on this assassination is not the answer. Expect a lot more political violence in the years ahead from these types of people.
