A warning to Antifa

[image error]

Dear Antifa,

You are no match for the power of /pol/. You can’t win. If you commit more crimes, they will know. They will expose you. And I will be laughing. The youth is turning more and more to the Alt Right. You’re still losing.

Sincerely,

Publishers Don’t Have a Clue

[image error]

One of the main reasons I decided to stop querying agents and took a hard stance against the traditional publishing industry about this time last year was because of posts exactly like the one you see above. Traditional publishing is no longer about a heroic male lead who learns lessons, saves the day, wins over a girl’s heart, goes on a grand journey, and defeats evil. It’s become a hard left virtue signaling party that’s designed to raise up PoC, bash the shit out of white males, and make it appear as though whites are the only race even remotely capable of being racist.

What I love is that PoC like to act as though they’re so innocent and have never participated in genocide. As though the Cambodian genocide never happened. Or the Rwandan. Or the Kurdish. Or the Guatemalan. All races have committed genocide. But (((Hollywood))) and the publishing world have done a really good job of making it appear as though whites have been the greatest aggressors throughout history. It’s riddled in university historical textbooks and all courses that end in the word ‘studies,’ which should honestly be stripped from the curriculum entirely. 

I find it so interesting that the traditional publishing industry is trying to include more and more PoC, granted that they tend to read the least. The largest audience for SF/F fiction and often comics is white people. Always has been. But publishers are trying to gain all those PoC readers they are convinced are out there as their sales dwindle. And white males are getting pretty sick and tired of the constant bashing of white males and the constant insertion of a “strong female lead” who makes all men look incompetent and leads an army to fight a battle… because you know… that happens all the time. Most immigrants are learning to read English as a second language and aren’t likely to pick up a SF/F book, and the amount of people who actually go to a bookstore after graduating high school or university is staggeringly low. But apparently we need to keep catering to a demographic that reads the least. Sounds like a good plan, publishers. 

I hear more and more cases of authors having to censor themselves if they already have a writing contract. Publishers are hammering down the SJW ideology regarding diversity to such an intense degree that they won’t realize why their sales are depleting. And more and more debut authors will be cut as a result.

If you’re an author, don’t go traditional. Those who do are seeking one thing and one thing only. Validation. It’s a club that you don’t want to be a part of. Don’t be like them. Go for independent publishers or self-publish. Because if you make on mistake that the diversity police don’t like, you’re career will be over.

And by the way, Crysta from Ferngully is white. In fact, fairies in general are a white European creation. 

Marine Le Pen rejects EU flag

Marine Le Pen, a shining example to the French.

The presidential candidate who has caused major upset heading into the French elections insisted the French TV channel TF1 dismantle their set up.

Leader of the National Front, Ms Le Pen, said she wanted to be president of France, “not the European Commission,” according to reports.

Ms Le Pen said she only wanted the French flag behind her in the shot.

According to local media, TF1 agreed to remove the flag Tuesday night.

Reports suggest a statement was written to the studio which said the EU “did great harm” to France and its citizens.

The European Commission’s representation in France responded in a tweet, saying it was “proud of our flag, a symbol of unity solidarity and harmony between the peoples of Europe”.

Um… since when has the EU been able to keep peace between the nations? Anyone who pays the slightest bit of attention can clearly see that the EU has done nothing but create destruction. It hindered the economy in many countries, allowed in a bunch of economic migrants who have a culturally enriching thing they call “the rape game,” and allowed in immigrants with low skill sets that usually end up on welfare which only makes the middle class suffer even more. If anything, the EU has done more to destroy Europe’s middle class and therefore create an even larger class divide. 

They also maintain a politically correct stance on just about everything, making their people more and more vulnerable to true threats because anyone who speaks up against said threat is called “racist.”

Well done, EU!

Go Marine! And may France find her heritage and be proudly French again one day. Or at least one can hope.

Small communities with less diversity

The beautiful Rebecca, also known as Blonde in the Belly of the Beast, did a wonderful video concerning her journey toward discovering that smaller towns in the state of Washington have better community cohesion, less diversity, and all around a better atmosphere for the purpose of raising children.

Smaller towns have a tendency to possess a better sense of community, especially in areas where third world ethnic minorities aren’t present. Oh, was that racist? I don’t care. It’s the facts. And the facts about third world ethnic minority crime rates are all that matter to me. 

Diversity is not a strength. Immigration is war. Experience taught me that communities, even small ones, that value diversity do not last long in terms of a sense of community trust. You can’t trust or even have a BBQ with a neighbor next door that wears a veil and can’t even speak English. That’s the sad honest truth. 

Robert Putnam, who wrote a book based on his findings pertaining to diversity being a strength sat on his work for years before publishing it because it revealed that diversity wasn’t a strength at all. It was a weakness and it destroyed local communities, big and small. And while raising children in the city, particularly in blue states, can be accomplished it certainly leaves a lot more to be desired.

 

The MoldyLocks Scandal

Pussy Writers UNITE!

To my great amusement, #ThingsOnlyWomenWritersHear and #WhatWoCWritersHear (meaning women of color) was trending on Twitter a few days ago. Aside from being wildly entertaining, it was interesting to see the SJWs whining, moaning, and complaining about their ‘muh oppression’ and ‘muh sexism’ and ‘muh prejudice’ and ‘muh wicked patriarchy’ considering that not one of them would be published without the existence of the system they love to believe hates them.

Women who enjoy their victim status unite!

“I’m so glad I didn’t know you were a woman. I never would have picked up your book.”

#ThingsOnlyWomenWritersHear

Oh my favorite little wimpy SJW from the days of DiversityGate. Did you think blocking me would save you? 

Women like to whine about the fact that men don’t often read their books and enjoy thinking it’s because of …(insert a word ending in -ism, -ist, or -ic here). But in reality, it’s because the audience for science fiction and fantasy over the last five or six decades was largely male. You wouldn’t market a hunting rifle with the name Oprah on it unless you don’t want sales.

Sorry honey, that’s just the facts of gender (which is not a social construct). The few women writers who wrote in these genres wrote under male pen names because men were used to seeing other men. Now that SJWs have destroyed the fantasy and sci-fi genre to the point where men don’t even want to read mainstream published novels anymore because they’re always portrayed as being (insert a word ending in -ism, -ist, or -ic here), women wonder why men don’t want to read their novels? Keep bashing white males. You’ll be FORCED to hide your gender as time goes on. Which proves the theory of writing under a male pen name in certain genres as being a good idea to start with.

#WhatWoCWritersHear

Wait wait wait! Women of color are constantly going on and on and on about being represented, crying out (insert a word ending in -ism, -ist, or -ic here) when they don’t feel they’ve been portrayed accurately, ruin authors careers in doing so, say they don’t want to be a ‘token’ character, then whine about the only panel available to them being a ‘diversity’ one that they spent ages harping on about to start with?

Oh for the love of god!

@SashaDelvin

I do support diverse books. But we’re looking for QUALITY, you know?

#WhatWoCWritersHear

Um… yeah. Sorry your skin color didn’t get you a fucking free pass like affirmative action did. Getting published requires writing a good book. Or at least it used to. In the world SJW leftist publishing it just means that you need to hit certain social justice bullet points. Maybe you should harp on about muh white privilege a bit more in your next manuscript.

:::Mentions racism::: “Why do you hate white people?” #WhatWoCWritersHear

Granted that I’ve seen this author moan about Trump being elected by primarily white supremacists, I can’t take her thoughts on racism seriously. Nor should anyone else. And when you’re only finding racism among whites and never call out your own for committing racist acts against whites, then yes, you do hate white people. This one is enjoying her victim status WAY too much.

@ELatimerWrites

For the male writers snarking on the #ThingsOnlyWomenWritersHear hashtag. LOTS of female agents/editors. We see you & your sexism, bro.

Maybe you’re constant accusations of (insert a word ending in -ism, -ist, or -ic here) are why independent publishing companies are sailing while mainstream agents and publishers are flailing. Just a thought.

“Your husband’s incredible for letting you write.” And he lets me wear pants & drive the car too! I’m so lucky! #ThingsOnlyWomenWritersHear

I’m going to state with complete confidence that people are saying this to you because many are suffering from today’s economy and they need two incomes to make a financially stable household. Writing doesn’t pay well for most writers out there. No one is suggesting that your hubbie chains you to the stove.

I would love nothing more than to see these ladies trying to get published in Iran where women are actually oppressed, rather than actively looking for it on every corner. It’s this kind of attitude that has destroyed the publishing industry and why so many debut authors are cut from publishing houses. They can’t afford to keep them on and give them the necessary advertising because they continue pushing social justice narratives that readers are simply sick of. 

You’re not being oppressed. You’re being a pussy.  Toughen up and write your damn book.

Slavery for the rich?

Slavery will not return in the form of chains, but taxation.

The surging dark horse candidate in France’s presidential election is coming for the rich.

Jean-Luc Melenchon, who has been endorsed by the French Communist Party, says he would introduce a 100% tax on income above €400,000 ($425,000).

Why €400,000? That’s 20 times higher than France’s average wage.

The top rate of income tax is currently 45%. Boosting that to 100% would effectively cap earnings at €400,000.

France already has some of the world’s highest rates of income tax, and previous attempts to push them even higher have failed.

President Francois Hollande proposed a 75% top tax rate in 2012, but the proposal was rejected by the French courts.

High taxes have contributed to an exodus of millionaires from France.

Around 10,000 millionaires left the country in 2015, followed by 12,000 last year, according to New World Wealth. Movie star Gerard Depardieu is among those who have ditched France over the issue.

“I believe that there is a limit to the accumulation [of wealth],” Melenchon said in March. “If there are any who want to go abroad, well, goodbye!”

Stratospheric tax rates are not Melenchon’s only controversial idea. He also wants to limit pay for CEOs to 20 times the salary of their worst-paid employee. He argues that such a law would force executives to increase the wages paid to workers before boosting their own.

Melenchon is holding rallies across France later on Tuesday, where he will appear via a hologram.

This idea that the rich are there for you to dip your hand into their pocket and they’re wealth is immoral regardless of what they’ve done to earn it is beyond my understanding. Even the most relaxed Christians in the world should be able to see the paradox of believing you’re owed someone else’s wealth, regardless of how poor you might be. Just because my bank account might be low doesn’t mean I want to dip my hands in the register of a store, or in someone else’s wallet. Which is exactly what socialism and communism is. It’s taking money that’s not yours by force and “redistributing” it. Most often in ways that you will never see because that wealth disappears once the government gets their hands on it.

It’s a lazy ideology for lazy people who don’t want to put in the hard work themselves. Or for the greedy and simple minded who still think that the rich are only rich because they shit on the little guy. We all love the story of the little guy who makes it, but this ideological mindset would strip that person of all their wealth the moment they started to get a sizable income.

You’re owed nothing. Just because you’re alive and breathing doesn’t mean you’re owed a thing. Or as the McCann brothers said in one of my favorite movies ‘Secondhand Lions,’…. “if you need something, get it yourself. Or better yet, learn to live without.”

A White Pill

A white pill for those who might have been feeling down.

DONALD J. TRUMP

THE WHITE HOUSE,

April 18, 2017.

The only part here that I take issue with is the H1B Visas. I would like to see those disappear as they’re really nothing more than a tool for enslavement. They currently allow low skilled workers to come into the country and get trapped in jobs that they can’t leave because they will otherwise be deported. Which can inevitably turn them into indentured servants. Which is just another word for a slave. I know the order claims that they will make sure that those brought in will have higher skill sets, but come on. As long as it’s there, it will be abused. And if we did well by our own citizens, we wouldn’t need immigrants with high skills sets. We would produce younger people who have them and who can enter the work force to contribute. 

Otherwise, buy American and hire American sounds good to me.

Antifa Selling Hidden Weapons

Be warned. If they’re carrying weapons, so should you!

This should come as a warning to anybody who Antifa sees as a threat to their Communist, anarchist, violence-driven message.

Following the recent violent mobilization of Antifa in Berkeley, the domestic terror organization has begun to embrace violence as part of its message.

There is a visible evil to the entity and sadly it is comprised of young Americans who have adopted a violent, Marxist mentality.

They are now selling small, concealed knives and are actively promoting violence in an effort to fight perceived “fascism”.

Antifa is a fashionable movement for college “progressives” who have been brainwashed by their professors and now the brainwashing has made its way to the distribution of knives and the promotion of weaponized violence.

Democrats, with their #Resist slogan, are encouraging this type of behavior and they refuse to condemn Antifa.

The concealed knives for sale have since been removed, but the internet is forever and we have captured screenshots of it.

A petition was started in February to declare Antifa a terrorist organization. They were throwing M-80’s, glass bottles and bricks at Trump supporters in Berkeley and now they are selling concealed knives to be used. They must be dealt with.

The media would never in a million years admit that #MoldyLocks (as the Internet has now dubbed the commie porn star moron who was punched by Nathan Damigo) was hitting people from behind with champagne bottles like the coward she is. Antifa is arming up. So should you. It’s time to go get your CHL boys and girls. The left can no longer be reasoned with. We can no longer discuss or debate. We can only defend ourselves when necessary. And when Antifa starts selling hidden knives, it’s more than necessary.

Dreamer Goes Back

No, he wasn’t an ‘undocumented immigrant.’ No, he wasn’t a ‘dreamer.’ He was illegal. Illegal means it’s a crime. It’s a shame when the law has to be broken down to such simple terms for people with too many feelz to understand.

But hey, maybe we can break down more laws. Since liberals tend to go with their feelz, maybe murderers should be allowed to go free because they have lives and are well-established in society. What? It’s the same logic!

Federal agents ignored President Trump’s pledge to protect from deportation undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children by sending a young man back to his native Mexico, the first such documented case, a USA TODAY examination of the new administration’s immigration policies shows.

After spending an evening with his girlfriend in Calexico, Calif., on Feb. 17, Juan Manuel Montes, 23, who has lived in the U.S. since age 9, grabbed a bite and was waiting for a ride when a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer approached and started asking questions.

Montes was twice granted deportation protections under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program created by President Barack Obama and left intact by President Trump.

Montes had left his wallet in a friend’s car, so he couldn’t produce his ID or proof of his DACA status and was told by agents he couldn’t retrieve them. Within three hours, he was back in Mexico, becoming the first undocumented immigrant with active DACA status deported by the Trump administration’s stepped-up deportation policy.

“Some people told me that they were going to deport me; others said nothing would happen,” Montes told USA TODAY in his aunt and uncle’s home in western Mexico where he’s been staying. “I thought that if I kept my nose clean nothing would happen.” He asked that the exact location of their home be withheld.

Since taking office, Trump has followed through on his campaign pledge to crack down on illegal immigration by signing executive orders to step up enforcement against the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. The new policy calls for expanding the criteria for detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants and hiring thousands of new agents.

Yet Trump declined to revoke the DACA protections Obama had granted to more than 750,000 undocumented immigrants, repeatedly saying he had a soft spot for these young people who are leading productive lives and have few, if any, ties to the countries of their birth. 

“They shouldn’t be very worried,” he told ABC News in January. “I do have a big heart.”

Even so, DACA enrollees are being targeted by immigration authorities.At least 10 are in federal custody, according to United We Dream, an advocacy organization made up of DACA enrollees and other young immigrants.

The group’s advocacy director, Greisa Martinez, who has DACA protection, said Montes’ case is proof that people like herself are at risk despite what Trump said.

“We’ve seen Trump and (Department of Homeland Security Secretary) John Kelly say, ‘The DACA program is alive and well.’ We’ve seen (House Speaker) Paul Ryan look straight into the eyes of one of our members and say, ‘You have nothing to worry about,'” she said. “And then this happens.”

I have to disagree with Trump on this one. They should never have been reassured that they were welcome to stay. They’re here illegally. A nation must have borders, and it must enforce those borders. 

Mexico would never in a million years allow white Americans who cross their borders illegally, regardless of age, to stay because they were young, an anchor baby, or ‘dreamers.’ In fact, Mexico has laws that proclaim if the ethnic majority is threatened even in the slightest, it’s time to start deporting people in massive numbers. They even have a wall on their southern border.

A wall?! Oh my! How racist? 

No… wait. It’s only racist when white people have interests. Because America is an idea. Therefore it’s up for grabs to just about anyone. Or some such shit that (((Hollywood))) and the (((media))) jams down our throats and teaches our children.

Or not. If you’re illegal, you have to go back. Period.
