From Taki’s Magazine:
If there are two categories in which black people outperform nearly everyone else on the planet, those would be sporting events and crime.
Our modern era is no different from other ones, despite our pretensions at civilization. You can get pilloried, accused and even arrested just for speaking the truth.
Galileo would understand exactly what I’m saying.
That’s because the average town in Britishland has clearly-defined boundaries, where Town Planning forbids any kind of development outside those limits.
Here in the Land Of Da Free, our towns sprawl all over the fucking place, and (e.g. in Plano) you can drive around all day, not see a business of any kind, and still technically be “in town”.
The Germans, of course, have it down pat. If you take the Ausfahrt off the Autobahn to, say, Stuttgart, you just follow the signs which say Zentrum and you’ll end up in the main business center of town.
Which, by the way, the Brits with their love of inscrutable acronyms refer to as the “CBD” (central business district), only they don’t always use street signs to direct you there. You get downtown by guesswork and luck. Don’t ever stop and ask for directions, because the local yokels think it’s great fun to send you into a series of one-way streets and cul-de-sacs (which is what signs do say, and not “dead ends”) until you wish Hitler had got the job done and flattened the place, back during the Slight Disturbances Of The Early Forties.
Not that I’m bitter about it, or anything. When you finally get there, it’s all worth it.
…right up until you try to find parking.
There’s this TV show called Love Island, where pretty young heterosexual things of all types get to hang around in seclusion somewhere and bonk each other. (I may not have got this quite right, as I’ve never actually watched the poxy thing, but this seems to be what happens.) After the season ends, the cast go on to make all sorts of money from endorsements and Instagram appearances and so on.
Nice work, if you can get it.
And to get it, you need to be pretty, regardless of whether you have a pleasure pole or a love socket.
The men, needless to say, don’t do much to make themselves look more attractive to the women — ’twas ever thus, except for men of the Elton John persuasion — but the sluts women certainly do. And of course, by today’s deplorable standards of beauty, a girl needs to have an ass of Lopez/Kardashian dimensions, and a face that… well, see for yourselves.
Here’s an article which shows Before / After pics of some of the girls’ faces. Most of them are fairly plain, but one stuck out as particularly sad:
She went from being quite stunning to looking like a RealDoll.
Yes, that’s a RealDoll. I challenge anyone to contradict me.
In describing my despair at our modern life, I often say that I’m just a 1911 man trying to live in a 2020 world. And I’m not exaggerating.
Here are three famous Edwardian beauties (Gladys Cooper, Lily Elsie and Marie Doro). Compare them (and their contemporaries) with the grotésqueries in the above article, and I think you’ll get my point.
Not a stitch of cosmetic surgery anywhere. And if you didn’t fall instantly in love with one or all of the above three, I don’t want to talk to you anymore.

Over a month ago I went to Trader Joe’s to buy a couple of things, but was told to go to the back of the (100-yard) queue because the store was only allowing a dozen or so customers at a time to go in. The outside temperature that day was August-In-Dallas (i.e. there were lizards frying gently on the sidewalks), so I said (quite loudly) to the officious little asshole at the door: “This is total and utter bullshit, and you guys are acting like hysterical children. I don’t need your stupid products that much,” and walked away.
A couple of people cheered and gave me the thumbs-up — and a few even nodded and walked away themselves. (Sometimes, it only takes one, and — this may come as a surprise to many — I’ve often been that one, in my lifetime.)
It’s bad enough when Nanny Government can’t stop telling you what to do: stay out of here, only six people allowed to be together there, family reunions or events are banned, can’t shop here but there is okay, this work is allowed but that isn’t and so on, but don’t forget to wear your face-condom everywhere or else you’ll be fined / arrested / publicly scolded / tossed out.
When stores start fucking with people’s lives, however, it’s probably too much. At least, it was too much for this wonderful woman, who after having been bullied by everyone in Government or a uniform for months, decided that being told to follow in-store one-way signs was a Nanny Too Far, and showed her displeasure:
Shopper becomes furious after Co-op staff in Lingfield, Surrey, ask her to observe social distancing rules and starts throwing items and knocking bottles of wine off the shelves. The video that was captured in CCTV shows the woman screaming at the shop’s workers, after being asked to use the one-way system.
And just to put this in perspective, here are a few pics of Lingfield:
Not exactly the kind of place where one might find agitators and troublemakers, is it?
If you follow no other link today, this would be the one.
Bravo, Madame.
…or to be more precise, against a hurricane. First, we have this situation:
The trifecta of coronavirus fears, George Floyd protests, and the push to defund the police has resulted in surging gun sales in Minnesota.
…
The number of background checks conducted in Minnesota in March represented a 20-year high.
Then came the May 25 death of George Floyd and the subsequent riots, after which Frontiersman Sports owner Kory Krouse said the demand for guns went through the roof.
Krouse said, “People are really scared coming in here. We had a three, four hour wait just to get up to the counter during the height of … the rioting.”
As a result of the surge, gun store inventories are down and ammunition is scarce.
So one would think that a savvy politician would read the tea leaves (or, the actual statistics), and say, “Hmmm… this is probably not the right time to be pushing for gun control.”
Step forward, Minneso-duh! senator Tina Smith:
Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) is pushing an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, and an expansion of background checks that would outlaw private gun sales.
According to her campaign website, Smith cosponsored the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2019,” which would have banned 205 commonly-owned semiautomatic firearms and all ammunition magazines holding more than ten rounds.
Smith also cosponsored the Background Check Expansion Act (BCEA). The BCEA was a push to expand retail background checks to private sales as well. In doing that, BCEA would have criminalized private sales, making it illegal for a neighbor to sell a five-shot revolver to a lifelong neighbor without first finding a Federal Firearms License holder and having a background check performed.
You have to be in the grip of a special kind of stupid to do this kind of thing in the current circumstances. But that’s the deal with doctrinaire Socialists: it’s all about the intentions, never about the outcomes and consequences. And never mind what the proles think: the Party is always right, comrades.
Even when they’re horribly, hopelessly wrong.
