The Naïvietê of a ‘Skeptic’

Posted on | May 28, 2015 | 37 Comments

@The_SkepDick is a partisan Democrat masquerading as an objective observer, which is to say that he is no different than about 90% of American journalists except for the fact that he is just an anonymous troll account on the Internet and not a multimillionaire celebrity like George Stephanopoulos, but I digress . . .

@The_SkepDick posted on his Tumblr blog (yes, of course he’s on Tumblr) a photo of graffiti outside The Women’s Library that said, “MEN READ BOOKS TOO, C**T,” which he captioned, “MEN’S RIGHTS ACTIVISM.” This was posted to Facebook, and someone then called it to my attention. Hmmm.

My first comment:

1. Where was this graffiti written?
2. I would presume that this bookstore is in an urban liberal area.
3. Does it seem likely, therefore, that some right-wing “Men’s Rights Activist” would have traveled to such a place, armed with a can of spraypaint, to create this graffiti?
4. All things considered — including the history of feminists faking “hate” incidents — isn’t it MORE likely this graffiti is another such hoax, a la “Haven Monahan” and the “gang rape” at UVA?
5. You call yourself a “skeptic.” Try being SKEPTICAL, please.

My second comment:

A quick Google investigation indicates that the Women’s Library is an institution affiliated with the London School of Economics, and that this graffiti was painted in 2013. Does anyone suppose that the urban vicinity around this elite campus is crawling with thuggish misogynists? The likelihood that this graffiti is a HOAX would seem quite high, and given that London has a nearly panoptical closed-circuit surveillance camera system, one would think that, if this graffiti were a REAL example of vandalism inspired by anti-female hatred, the police would have apprehended and prosecuted the culprits. Let the SKEPTIC attempt to find news accounts of any such prosecution. Good luck.

My third comment:

Further investigation determines that The Women’s Library had formerly been located in London’s East End, in a former warehouse purchased and renovated with a £4.2m Heritage Lottery grant in 2002. It would seem, however, that this windfall was insufficient, so that by 2012, The Women’s Library was shuttered and, in 2014, the LSE came to the rescue. So this graffiti was, evidently, painted outside the East End location in 2013, AFTER the facility had closed.

Anyone with the most minimal research skills — really, can these idiots even spell Google? — could have found that information easily, nor would it have been hard for them to research the long history of left-wingers (including feminists) faking “hate” incidents, however . . .

If liberals were concerned with facts, they wouldn’t be liberals. They choose always to live inside a cocoon of prejudice and partisanship where, merely by posturing as “progressive” and parroting the latest left-wing slogans, they manufacture a belief in their own intellectual and moral superiority. Anyone who does not kowtow to them, anyone who does not flatter them and applaud their childish tantrums, the liberal will smear as “bigots” and mock as “ignorant.”

Yet who is genuinely ignorant here? Who is the real bigot?

Does @The_SkepDick provide any evidence — any evidence whatsoever — that this graffiti outside The Women’s Library was genuinely the work of a Men’s Rights Activist? He does no such thing. Why not? Quite likely because no such evidence exists and he never even bothered to research the matter. He is not a skeptic at all, but is just an ax-grinder, a partisan propagandist who lacks even the minimal level of curiosity that would cause him to wonder, “Is this for real?”

Alas, our country is rapidly filling up with idiots like that, “educated” in public schools run by unionized bureaucrats who have been indoctrinated with the prevailing progressive dogmas that exercise hegemonic control in academia. Because every textbook now is edited (and every TV show is now produced) by fanatic disciples of this worldview, it never occurs to the typical young public-school graduate that maybe not everything he has been taught is actually true.

Not once in his entire life has he encountered a book like Friedrich Hayek’s The Mirage of Social Justice or Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed that might cause him to re-examine the belief system into which he has been indoctrinated. No, only “bigots” read books like that and, besides, the typical Democrat voter hasn’t read a book since the day he graduated school (or dropped out).

A vast ocean of ignorance and naïvietê has been created, at taxpayer expense, by our government’s “education” system. This may be why 65,918,507 people voted to re-elect Barack Obama.

    Remember the Klansman sighting at Oberlin? First time I read of it I knew it was bogus.

    Oberlin? Really? Some Klansman went to Oberlin to wander around and scare people? Oberlin? Do you even know where that is?

    At this point my default position on hearing yet another outrage is “Prove you didn’t do it, like nearly every other such incident. In fact, how about we check your hands for spray paint residue?”

    One additional comment predicated upon the location of the graffiti: The word “c**t” has a different and less derogatory usage in British English. (Cite). I’ve told a number of British acquaintances to avoid using it here. It’s usage is much more gender-neutral in Britain than here, BTW.

    And, BTW, the citation above to support my anecdotal observations was obtained by simply typing the question, “Why is the term “c**t” less derogatory in British English?” into the Chrome address bar. It took a total of 30 seconds tops.

    To be a liberal means never having to question the meme.

    The internet was s’posed to open our eyes, to provide us with all of the answers we needed, to keep us educated and informed, but getting the answers first requires asking a question, and the left never ask the questions.

    Because every textbook now is edited (and every TV show is now produced) by fanatic disciples of this worldview, it never occurs to the typical young public-school graduate that maybe not everything he has been taught is actually true.

    The textbook and TV thing IS true, without a doubt. But I recall a day when, if you said something blatently and factually stupid, you would be publically called out as a jackass by friends, family and coworkers, and even strangers, depending upon the nature of the public mocking. A couple of incidents like this, and you’d learn to check your facts before you started flapping your pie hole.

    So this problem could also be a function of morons reaching adulthood, and then spawning morons of their own. Who think it’s “mean” and “intolerant” to correct idiocy before it spreads.

    And it’s also Al Gore’s fault for inventing the internet, lol.

    According to Strong’s Concordance, the noun “Nachash” in Hebrew can mean “snake” or “serpent”, but used as an adjective means “bright, brazen”. In Hebrew grammer, it is common for adjectives to be used as nouns.

    Hebrew Bible scholar Michael Heiser concludes that Eve was actually talking to a “bright, shining upright figure with a serpentine appearance, who was trying to bewitch her with lies.” (Citation, UW-Madison Dept. of Hebrew and Semitic Studies, http://www.pidradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/nachashnotes.pdf)

    I have lots more I could add about add about the nature of cherubs (not putti), generally.

    You know, in case you were interested in some nice, boring Hebrew esoterica. 😉

    Sowell and Hayek are H8erz among H8erz and engage in nothing but H8 speech. Come to think of it, this site is a H8 site and the owner is a H8er and those come here are H8erz, and I denounce myself. I denounce everyone who comes here, has ever come here, or ever will come here, and Wombat and Smitty too.

    You may not know it, but Ohio and Indiana are the two states where the Klan is strongest. The second Klan (not the original which was a joke club started by 4 former Confed Junior Officers with too much time on their hands) was fir a very long time stronger in the North (the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan) than any where else.

    Nachash = shining one. His sentence is actually to the lake of fire, but for some reason God has allowed him to run loose here and is the “principalities and power of the air,” and the god of this world (note lower case). The quote, I forget from where, it is better to rule in hell, than serve in heaven” is quite inaccurate as Satan does not rule in hell. He’s on a short leash now, but will be allowed off it after the Church is removed, and things will get really weird here.

    I didn’t know that. What you might not know is that the Klan has a long history in Oregon as well. To this day, outside of a few liberal enclaves, there’s a lot of old-school racism.

  36. Quartermaster
    May 30th, 2015 @ 5:01 pm

    The racism of the liberal gentry is more the racism of low expectations as Ronnie Raygun pointed out many years ago.

    The new Klan has a long history in the north. They used to hold huge marches in DC, with thousands of Klansmen participating. I’m sure Byrd was one of those Klansmen as well. It started to fragment in the late 50s until it reached the point where there may be 2000 Klansmen left and 1500 of them are Federal Agents, as the joke goes. There’s no telling how big the various Klan splinter groups are total, but they are probably a lot larger than many people think.

    The Klan started adopting roads for litter cleanup in Ohio while lived up there.

    Another interesting fact is that there were 11 states in the Confederacy, but 26 states had Jim Crow laws. Jim Crow was stronger in the midwest than the south.

    What is your opinion of Mises qualified defense of fascism in Liberalism (1927)?

    It cannot be denied that Fascism and similar movements aiming at the establishment of dictatorships are full of the best intentions and that their intervention has, for the moment, saved European civilization. The merit that Fascism has thereby won for itself will live on eternally in history. But though its policy has brought salvation for the moment, it is not of the kind which could promise continued success. Fascism was an emergency makeshift. To view it as something more would be a fatal error.
