The Cult of Ugliness

Art once made a cult of beauty. Now we have a cult of ugliness instead. This has made art into an elaborate joke, one which by now has ceased to be funny.

Twitter Bans People for Saying “Men Aren’t Women”

You are not allowed to disagree with the State-enforced gender ideology. You will be removed from the public conversation. You may even get a visit from the cops. It’s a great way to manufacture fake consensus for unpopular ideas; just delete and threaten everyone who disagrees with you.

Article screenshot from The Federalist: "Twitter Permanently Bans Feminist For Writing That Men Aren't Women"

Last week, the social media giant permanently banned  Meghan Murphy, a writer based in British Columbia, for critiquing transgender ideology online. The platform repeatedly suspended her account for this then ultimately banned her last week, saying such behavior "violated [its]  rules against hateful conduct." 

At Feminist Current, Murphy writes about her ban: 

What is insane to me, though, is that while Twitter knowingly permits graphic pornography and threats on the platform (I have reported countless violent threats, the vast majority of which have gone unaddressed), they won't allow me to state very basic facts, such as 'men aren't women'.

They have used this rule to clear out many political commentators they want silenced too. If you are not a fully brainwashed left winger, they can find a way to sweep you out of the public conversation. They have defined perfectly normal beliefs as “hate” now, and apply the rules selectively to remove whoever they want.



NBC News photoshopped the “transgender” swimmer, to try to make him look girly

Tweet from @TodayShow: Lia Thomas, a swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania, will compete to become the first Division 1 openly transgender athlete to be crowned a national champion. @ReporterBlayne reports.

To get people to accept left wing dogma, you have to manipulate their perception of reality, because reality itself denies leftist ideology. Leftism is reality denial. Reality Acceptance is the way out.

The GloboLiberals want to go on denying all aspects of reality which they find uncomfortable, no matter the mental or social or financial cost. The GloboLiberals will continue to deny reality for as long as obvious truths can continue to be censored, ignored, renamed or denied despite the overwhelming evidence.

The Left Wing GloboLiberal mental disorder is media-enabled childish reality denial and amygdala dysfunction. The GloboLiberals refuse to grapple with the facts of reality and the truth about human nature, and refuse to think on the subjects for long enough to realize the necessary conclusions; living with the stunted mentality of a nursery child is the only way they can make sense of the world.









Big Tech Worker Reveals Corporate Rot (and Collapse of Staff Morale)

I work in Big Tech. A name you would know and have probably used before. Wanted to give a rundown of what it's like from the inside right now.

Obviously insanely radically leftwing. BLM/LGBTQ. Trans flags hanging in office. Pronouns stated before meetings. Special affiliation groups for everyone but white men. All what you'd expect. But COVID/WFH (work from home) has totally broken people. They are fundamentally weak, often with no social support outside of work. They're the people with no children, no spouse. Only a dog or cat for emotional support.

There's constant talk, even now, about how hard things are for everyone. Often meetings start with going around the room to ask "How is everyone feeling?" Literally everyone else went on sad rants about their lives. "I'm so MAD a white supremacist shot 3 black men in Kenosha!" It's toxic. When it got to me, I said "Good." and then a (((lady engineer))) literally proposed that we should not be allowed to answer the question positively. I shit you not. I think it hurt her that I wasn't as miserable as her. She made some argument about "vulnerability". These people not only want you weak, they want you to expose your vulnerabilities to them so they can exploit them. They may not intend this explicitly, but whatever twisted ideology they worship ends with this result.

So back to morale. Everyone is demoralized. This may surprise you, since Big Tech is extremely well paid and has been able to WFH throughout the past 2 years. They've been given extra days off, extra stipends, bonuses, etc. They never had to fear being laid off. I have some sympathy, and can feel some of this myself. It's normal and natural to work with people in-person. WFH can make it easy to overwork. You take fewer breaks, often work past normal working hours. You don't feel connected to customers or celebrate success in person.

And as I mentioned, Big Tech is often the only social life for people. I fortunately never made it mine, but my company had all sorts of after-work activities. Sports leagues, game nights, different classes taught by employees. There was a rhythm and connectedness that's gone. The Great Resignation is real. Many employees are leaving for better jobs. Remote work has (so far) resulted in more job opportunities for those working in Big Tech, especially outside of Silicon Valley. And so we backfill those positions, or hire new people, all remote.

We now have employees who have nearly 2 years of tenure who have never met another employee in person, and lives alone in some city away from where the office was. This would be fine for a normal person, but again, we're attracting the family-less urbanites scared of even meeting up with their friends at a restaurant. The churn in jobs also has the major effect of constantly dealing with the overhead of re-assinging projects from people leaving, and onboarding new people. The new employees don't get enough attention to succeed. And the employees that stay end up with a load of work dumped by the former coworkers, plus the responsibility of onboarding the new ones. There are many software engineers who've not written a single line of code in the past year.

While the Woke agitation has slowed due to the productive employees' ability to simply log off, in addition to the tiredness of the agitators, there is more and more open rebellion regarding pay and profits. "Bring your whole self to work" was the Big Tech mantra. Tell people about your cool hobbies, share your politics (if you're far left only), share your sex life. This plus the feeling of distance an online-only presence creates has made people braver in speaking their thoughts.

You used to have to have the balls to knock on the CEOs office door, or schedule a meeting. Now you can fire off a nasty Slack message straight to her. People will openly write threads and comments throughout Slack bad-mouthing the higher ups at the company. And they do nothing. It's unreal what people will write, with no recourse. If it were anything remotely RW, I'm certain they'd be immediately fired, but so long as they're sufficiently LW or minority (anything but straight white man), they can agitate, complain, do no work, and continue employment. And so the entire company has devolved. We're running on the code written in years past. No major new product initatives are being launched. Workers complain that they're understaffed and demoralized. People take constant sick days, or don't show up at all without record.

It's very easy to hide when WFH. With such a flux in employees/management and so much allowance for "mental health", it's easy to simply no show without punishment. We hired a new employee and I pinged them at 1pm to see if they'd join a meeting. They came 10 minutes later. Said they slept in because they didn't have anything to work on. It's got to be mind-boggling for someone not in software. On a given day, managers (there are several in weird matrix structure) will say things like "What can I do to support you?" "Do you have enough to work on? Too much?" It's like emotional support. And you can simply say, "Oh, I've had a hard week. Barely slept. Felt sick. Don't think I can handle much more this week." There's no real accountability to anyone. Record profits at the top, because of existing code and product-market fit cruising along, so leaders don't notice.

It's utterly surreal to watch the deterioration. To see how quickly an organization can crumble. And I'm not productive either. I'm constantly bombarded with anti-white, anti-male, woke propaganda. We've even had explicit discussions of assigning less work to URMs (under-represented minorities), because "life is really hard for them right now." This suggestion was from a lesbian white woman with cats. As productive as one person can be, you can't add value when constantly thwarted. Nobody in IT doing tickets anymore to provision things for you, large bureaucracy to gatekeep any actions (needs review by X number of committees including now DEI committees). It's hard to feel unproductive. I'm not the type who feels great about getting paid to not work, but that's essentially what I've been doing for the last year.

This problem is the worst in Big Tech, so if Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Amazon Prime, or Netflix go down, the world will probably be better off. It's not essential. I worry about this apathy spreading to companies that matter. Ones that write software for utilities.

I know this isn't just my company because I've interviewed at many other companies (Big Tech and Unicorns). Awful conduct at interviews. Demoralized employees who show up late, unprepared, or absolutely do not want to be there.

Things my coworkers spend an enormous amount of their day on:
- Coming up with a "clever" new Zoom background each day (something Harry Potter or Star Wars like children)
- Clever Slack emojis
- Reddit style responses in threads ("First!) and other low brow irony for the lulz.

I've interviewed many times wanting to leave, but every comparable company how has a "Diversity Panel" interview, which is just a matter of gatekeeping ideological purity at these companies. They ask questions like: "Why is diversity important to you?" and "What have you done to increase diversity at your company?"

In one interview, they re-asked me 3 times because they weren't satisfied that I was ideologically pure enough. I value diversity of experience, they were wanting me as a white man to apologize for my sin of being born.

Teen Vogue’s Predatory Propaganda

Teen Vogue works hard to brainwash young girls. The owner, Advance Publications, is one of the largest media companies in the world.

They are systematically training young girls to trust propaganda more than they trust their own instincts.

Teen Vogue tweet: "We must accept nothing less than abolition of all law enforcement." 

"The Revolution Will Not Be Co-Opted. They are trying to kill this movement. We cannot let them."

Why would the Teen Vogue propaganda outlet try to convince teenage girls to support abolishing all law enforcement?

How will teenage girls survive in a world where no laws are enforced?

Total and complete lawlessness.. who benefits from such propaganda?

Predators and Criminals.


Canadian Journalist Quits CBC After Admitting the Network Pumps Out Far Left Propaganda and Ignores Real Issues

"Ex-CBC journalist Tara Henley declares on Substack that she quit her job due to the public broadcaster's shifting politics", by Charlie Smith.

A Toronto journalist with deep roots in Vancouver has written an incendiary post explaining why she resigned from the public broadcaster.

Tara Henley opened her piece on the Substack platform by revealing that she's been hearing complaints about the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where she worked for several years.

"People want to know why, for example, non-binary Filipinos concerned about a lack of LGBT terms in Tagalog is an editorial priority for the CBC, when local issues of broad concern go unreported," she wrote. "Or why our pop culture radio show’s coverage of the Dave Chappelle Netflix special failed to include any of the legions of fans, or comics, that did not find it offensive. Or why, exactly, taxpayers should be funding articles that scold Canadians for using words such as 'brainstorm' and “lame.' "

The answer, according to her, is that working at CBC now "is to accept the idea that race is the most significant thing about a person, and that some races are more relevant to the public conversation than others".

"It is, in my newsroom, to fill out racial profile forms for every guest you book; to actively book more people of some races and less of others," she added.

Henley suggested that the focus on racial issues is resulting in less scrutiny of other issues that affect large numbers of people, such as the housing crisis, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, accumulation of wealth by billionaires and power by bureaucrats, and the rising total of overdose deaths.

She linked the CBC's current approach to "a radical political agenda that originated on Ivy League campuses in the United States and spread through American social media platforms that monetize outrage and stoke societal division".

"It used to be that I was the one furthest to the left in any newsroom, occasionally causing strain in story meetings with my views on issues like the housing crisis," Henley wrote. "I am now easily the most conservative, frequently sparking tension by questioning identity politics. This happened in the span of about 18 months. My own politics did not change."

She says: “In a short period of time, the CBC went from being a trusted source of news to churning out clickbait that reads like a parody of the student press.”

She says working at the CBC is to “abandon journalistic integrity” and to “sign on, enthusiastically, to a radical political agenda”.
