Gavin McInnes on fashionable politics and politics as fashion, ie, why there won’t be any LaVoy Finicum t-shirt industry:

Despite Occupy Oregon meeting all the criteria for an anarchist revolution, the reaction is still much more in the #YallQaeda #VanillaISIS camp. I’m seeing people focus on the fact that LaVoy’s wife lists “foster care provider” as her vocation. Where were these people when we discovered that Trayvon’s father was a gangbanger? They want you to know that LaVoy’s fellow occupier Ammon Bundy may have been drinking alcohol at the time of his arrest. The same side that chanted, “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!” is offended that Bundy may have threatened cops. They call the ranchers welfare moochers who are taking advantage of the poor, feeble state.

Apparently, allowing your cattle to graze outside government boundaries is some kind of aristocratic decadence. Anarchists wearing Guy Fawkes masks are all of a sudden concerned about the government not getting enough tax dollars. It’s willful ignorance.

Canada’s President Pool Boy is raising his sons as feminists. It’s all for a good cause though; Trudeau is teaching his sons to be emasculated man-bitches to facilitate and expedite the complete collapse of Western society. And he wants Canadians to follow his example.

Vancouver is already awash with male feminists and man-bitches, but Alberta, Saskatchewan, and parts of Atlantic Canada are falling short of expectation, with lower than average numbers of man-bitches, especially in rural areas.

As in Europe, Trudeau needs the ratio of Canadian male feminists to increase dramatically before the arrival of thousands of military age Muslim men to complete the destruction of the society he has been entrusted to maintain.

The Green Party of Canada likes to think outside the box. They don’t want to be labelled or seen by Canadians as ‘conventional’. No, they are progressive. So progressive in fact, that they don’t actually know what they stand for.

While every other major political party in Canada uses the obvious emblem the maple leaf as part of their party logo, the Greens have chosen something else. One can’t be sure what it is though. Is it a carnation perhaps? Is it some kind of New Age cosmic wheel? Is it one of those 3D pictures you are supposed to stare at until you see the hypnotizing eyes of mother earth looking back at you?

What ever the logo may be, it is obviously perfect because it captures what the Green party of Canada is: Lost.
They are lost in the clouds of their confused minds.

What are they? What is their focus? What do they stand for? Are they an environmental movement as their party name would suggest? If so, why is their logo a swirling yellow space tunnel?

No Canadian in their right minds (or not) will ever vote for the Green Party of Canada because the Greens clearly don’t know what the Greens themselves stand for and their logo is proof.

A logo is a symbol. Symbols are humanities oldest form of language. They communicate thoughts and ideas to even the illiterate. A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say.

Canadian back packers around the world can be spotted by the maple leaf on their backs. This is to differentiate them from Americans.

A logo can also sum up a political party’s platform. The maple leaf is the universally understood symbol of Canada and the colour green has been deliberately associated with environmental issues because it is the colour of trees, grass and most plants.

If you can’t see that a GREEN maple leaf is the obvious choice of logo for the GREEN party of Canada, then you have no business running the country or having any position of leadership.

So before the Greens can ever hope to enter the House of Commons, they first need to open the door to the House of Common Sense.

When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, building on his presence at the historic Paris Conclave a few weeks ago (which saved the world) and presenting at the Davos summit this week (which will merely improve our rescued world), offered this rhetorical crackerjack: “My predecessor wanted you to know Canada for its resources. I want you to know Canadians for our resourcefulness.” (The Trudeau years are going to be great for the T-shirt and bumper-sticker scribes.)

So, does having great natural resources mean we do not need to use our powers of ingenuity, inventiveness and creativity in the development of those resources? No, the possession of natural resources does not contradict or suspend, as Trudeau’s semantic maneuvering would have it, the powers of resourcefulness in the people – engineers, farmers, loggers, miners, fishermen and oil workers — who exploit those resources.

Minerals do not just pop out of the ground on a wish, refine themselves and then walk to the nearest subsidized GM plant in southern Ontario. And — surprise, surprise — even windmills do not collect their own materials and build themselves. All require the resourcefulness of the people working in that particular industry.

Breitbart’s fabulously flippant Milo Yiannopoulos lambasts Bill Nye the “Science” Guy and his descent from science edutainment for kiddies into leftist propagandizing:

Let’s get this out of the way at once. Bill Nye’s primary qualification for being “The Science Guy” is that his last name rhymes with the phrase. I like to imagine some brilliant scientist named Phil Frye drunkenly ranting in a bar: “It should have been me!”

Nye is also famous for playing to a number of other pet liberal causes. Surprising no-one, Bill Nye on abortion reads like an engineering undergraduate trying to explain biology. When it comes to abortion, the only thing Nye is qualified to do is manufacture the coat hangers, and even then he’d probably fuck it up by trying to make them out of sustainable “green plastic.”

We love Milo. Next time Comedy Central does a celebrity roast, they should get Milo to MC it.

Mind you, that would probably result in the roastee crying instead of laughing along, but still.

The Globe and Mail’s Erin Anderssen on the whole “tiny home” movement and how quickly its proponents tend to move on up to larger homes again… which I don’t seem to have seen covered in the HGTV tiny home propaganda:

Remember that couple featured in the documentary Tiny, which depicted their tiny home’s construction and extolled the minimalist lifestyle? They parked the end result in a field in Colorado and never lived in it together full-time. (In a blog, they explained that they left this out of the movie “so as not to spoil the experience of seeing that story unfold on screen.”) You may also recall Carrie and Shane Caverly, who were featured on TV shows and in newspaper articles for “bonding” in their tiny home? They lasted 18 months before they decided it was “too small” and moved into an apartment. Many more owners rent out their tiny homes or use them only as weekend getaways, and it’s not easy to find a tiny-home builder actually dwelling full-time in the product they’re selling, at least in Canada.

Gee, next they’ll be telling us the world won’t come to an end if you don’t get the stainless steel appliances and granite countertops…

Pat Condell on the fallout from Europe’s ‘open arms’ immigration policy last summer.

What it only last summer? How young and innocent we were… well some of us. Now the wine has turned to vinegar, but some are still forcing it down themselves, insisting that it tastes wonderful.

 

When it comes to theories about why Europe is currently suffering the sort of problems it is, the progressive left are still working from the outdated 70’s mantra that all of this is due to not very clever people getting upset about immigrants stealing jobs and looking for someone to blame.

This one dimensional, over simplified position illustrates how far they’ve had to developed their thinking since the 1970’s.

Contrast this position with the clarity and depth of understanding displayed by Douglas Murray, Peter Hitchens or Rex Murphy on the crisis in Europe and it is quite clear who has been doing some serious thinking on the subject.

For decades the left has controlled the narrative and shamed into silence or shouted down anyone who had legitimate concerns over mass Muslim immigration. They could simply post it in, over dinner parties and in bars, knowing that they would not be challenged or have to examine their porous position. Such was the power of the self-policing liberal tyranny, especially in Europe. No one dared say anything.

But in doing so they have slowly set the spring for a backlash that is only now just starting to gain momentum. This reality is, of course, unlikely to ever occur to them.  And as the situation becomes undeniably unsustainable for all but the most ideologically insane, what we are increasingly hearing and seeing is panic from those who have helped create the mess and feel that the tide is turning against them. You know something’s deeply awry when you see a piece by George Soros in The Guardian.

They have been willing helpers in the engineered destruction of European culture by our political & financial elite through a program of Coercive Engineered Migration. The only nations not drinking the Kool-Aid ironically are the former Soviet block countries, who were spared decades of societal erosion from a program of sustained cultural marxism. And that must be embarrassing.

The leaders of Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary are not xenophobic fascists for resisting the same fate for their nations as German, Belgium or France. This is not about jobs or scapegoating minorities in hard times. This is simply now about the survival of Western culture and putting an end to failed policies that are destroying otherwise stable societies.

 

Douglas Murray on the media’s reluctant coverage of the New Year’s Eve mass rapes in Europe, and the state of discussion of such things:

This is a shame, because some free thought and discussion about what is going on could have been useful at an earlier stage. Last year, when Angela Merkel flung open Germany’s borders anyone who said, ‘Are you sure you know what you’re doing?’ was shouted down with cries of ‘racist’. Then, after about a million more people had come into the country even Chancellor Merkel started to wonder who they all were and whether they had all the right Germanic ideas. One minister finally said that they weren’t keen on letting many more anti-Semites into Germany. And now in the wake of the New Year’s Eve attack some politicians are saying they don’t really want people who aren’t even up to speed with even last millennia’s views on women. Perhaps it is too late and German women will indeed have to follow the advice of the Mayor of Cologne and take more care when out on the streets (‘No skirts. No trousers. Have you considered this lovely burka madam?’) Or perhaps an intensive period of workshops with new arrivals will settle it all amicably and swiftly. I suppose we will just have to hope so. In the meantime it turns out that the German police have been caught mis-representing the facts about who was doing the New Year’s Eve raping., and so we are now in the far more dangerous place where lies become the preserve not only of the fourth estate, but of the state itself.

Also discussed: the cops being MIA during the attacks but very quick to come down on anyone opposing them, be it firing water cannons at protestors outraged by the rapes or the continued persecution of people like Tommy Robinson (ex-EDL, now Pegida UK):

I mention that case because it is a reminder that instinctive reaction to the Cologne case is symptomatic of a much wider problem. With Pegida protests in German today being fired on by police with water-cannons that problem of attacking the reaction rather than the problem (where were the water cannons on New Year’s Eve?) has rarely seemed starker.
