Beelzebub’s buttcrack, it’s Monday again…
As always, we simply have to make the best of things. So let’s get started – no point faffing around, after all. We’ll begin with a movie that will make you feel better about yourself and your co-workers, because as dumb and annoying as they are, at least they’re not as dumb as the people in this film.
This long clip about the classic Mike Judge film, Idiocracy, peels back some of the subversive messaging embedded in the movie that you probably didn’t even notice the first time you watched it, and does a rather good job of pointing out how the creators of the film were able to sneak its highly subversive message through the nets of the Hollyweird gatekeepers:
I didn’t even realise until I saw that video just how blatant the anti-white, anti-Southerner, anti-blue-collar prejudice is in the actual film, especially in the opening scene. It mocks the shit out of rednecks by basically depicting them all as fornicating, beer-swilling, loutish, stupid, fat, and worthy of nothing beyond scorn and derision.
Now, there is some truth to this stereotype. Jeff Foxworthy and the Blue Collar Comedy guys have made careers out of sending it up. But my experience with Southrons, especially down in Texas, has always been that they are unfailingly polite and hospitable, and not at all stupid.
Granted, I’ve never been to Alabama or Georgia, the truly DEEP South. And I’m well aware of the People of Wal-Mart stereotype – I’ve seen it in action over the course of several trips down to Florida.

It goes without saying that I am NOT a fan of Bollywood movies, past or present. I find the whole industry quite vapid and profoundly silly.

As usual we’ve got a whole lot of good stuff from The Male Brain this week.
First up, here’s something from our friend The Captain, on the need to civilise our children and the failure of modern Western parents to do precisely that:
What happened to the days when kids would behave because of the merits of behaving? What happened to the days of understanding that you follow the law and do not break out into fights because society would otherwise degrade and collapse and it would be a reenactment of “Lord of the Flies?” And above all, what happened to the days where parents would instill morals and merits upon their children via discipline????
Alas, that is where the problem probably lies; the parents. I have to keep reminding myself whilst I’m not ready for marriage or children, my generation is currently the highest volume producers of them. And knowing the quality and caliber of Gen X (here or in Britain) it should be no surprise that my generation’s offspring is just as screwed up as we were if not, worse.
Furthermore, this attitude that “we are entitled to money and funds for just behaving like normal, responsible kids” can only be the product of a severe dearth of fatherly upbringing.
Notice I didn’t say “fathers.” I meant “fatherly upbrining.” As in spanking. As in yelling. As in Manny pummelling Sid.
I grew up in a culture where spanking kids, often well beyond the point of reason, was normal. I do not advocate physical violence against children in the form of smacking them because it can very easily be carried way too far and too many cultures and parents simply do not understand the line between discipline and sadism.
That being said – contra St. Efan and the libertoonians, there is, in fact, a place for corporal punishment when raising children. It should be used rarely and sparingly, to underscore the true severity of a breach of discipline and good behaviour.
And the fact that we don’t use it anymore, partly because of the way in which government has taken over the role that parents once had, and mostly because it is deeply politically incorrect to smack children anymore, is leading to ill-disciplined, erratic, irrational, and overly sensitive children who grow up to be mentally infantilised adults.

Also from Dawn Pine, here is a story about a woman who got caught with her pants on fire – and the resulting blaze makes California’s annual burns look minor by comparison:
U.S. State Department official and former Dallas media darling Mina Chang had a bad day Monday. Just before lunch, NBC News posted a triple-bylined investigative piece outlining how Chang worked her way into a job as deputy assistant secretary of state in the Trump administration, thanks to a puffed-up résumé and fake Time magazine cover.
According to the story, Chang, who did not return a request for comment from NBC and deleted her Twitter account Monday, didn’t have a degree from Harvard Business School, despite claiming to be an “alumna” in her official State Department biography. She also never spoke at the 2016 Democratic or Republican national conventions despite claiming to have done so, nor did she appear on the cover of Time, despite answering questions about having made such an appearance during a 2017 interview.
According to the NBC report, Chang also inflated her experience as the CEO of a nonprofit called Linking the World:
“For Chang’s current job, her most relevant experience would appear to be her time as CEO of a nonprofit called Linking the World. Chang has touted her small nonprofit online and in speeches as operating in dozens of countries, building schools and “impacting” thousands of people. But tax filings for her organization offer no concrete information about overseas projects and show a budget of less than $300,000 with a handful of staff,” the report from Dan De Luce, Laura Strickler and Ari Sen says.
In 2014, the Observer interviewed Chang for its People Issue. Chang described giving up her career as a pop singer shortly after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
The lying liars of the Marxist (((media))) – Lord, forgive me my redundancies – are making a lot of hay over the fact that Ms Chang was an assistant Secretary of State for the God-Emperor. I do not care much about this, because the State Department is where a lot of the absolute worst career Deep Staters have taken up residence. The whole place needs to be fumigated from top to bottom for roaches.
The God-Emperor is doing what he can, but there will inevitably be bad actors that slip through the cracks. Like this one.

The Male Brain also got around to watching Captain Marvel recently – and kudos to him for doing so, because I sure as heck cannot stomach the thought. I think living in Israel, as he does, gives him a far greater tolerance for psychological torture and stupidity than I have. He sent over a bunch of videos about it, which point out just how bad a movie it really is:
It was so bad that the CinemaSins guys themselves did a bad job of pointing out how bad it was:
Even the Honest Trailer guys couldn’t find that many good things to say about it:
And the HISHE guys? Well, their version of it was better than anything that Marvel Studios could make, with about a million times their budget:
One more:
Basically, don’t watch that movie. Or anything else coming out of the Devil Mouse.

While we’re talking about really bad agenda-driven feminist films, everyone’s favourite drunken Scot – there really isn’t any other kind, these days, especially if they’re from Glasgow – reviews the new “woke” reboot of Charlie’s Angels, and of course, it sucked wind harder than a blowervac:

Mark Dice piles insult atop injury while mocking Fredo Cuomo’s latest bit of liberal stupidity, and in the process shreds the entire shampeachment farce like a cat attacking a roll of old toilet paper:
***
Greg Gutfeld and the Fox Five did the same in making Fredo look idiotic – not that this is terribly hard to do – but you have to skip over the bits featuring Juan Williams. Being a liberal, Mr. Williams is reliable only in that he is reliably wrong:
He and the crew did a great job of talking about the Daemoncrat debates too – though, again, skip over or tune out the bits featuring Juan Williams:

This new Cats movie is going to be nightmare-fuel:
OMFG KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE NUKE THE F***ER FROM ORBIT!!!!!
Seriously, whoever dreamed up the idea of anthropomorphic CGI cats singing and dancing in London’s streets didn’t just take acid – he took ALL OF THE ACID.
And before anyone goes around throwing SWAT Kats in my face about an example of a how anthropomorphic cats on-screen can work – may I remind you that it was a kid’s cartoon, with – and I can’t stress this enough – fighter jets.
You can’t screw up a cartoon with fighter jets in it. At least, not as far as 8-year-old boys are concerned.

Most people would find the idea of a debutantes’ ball to be quite silly and archaic. I am not one of those, because the Russians really know how to throw a party for debs:
A close friend of mine has a sister who participated in a debutante ball in the USA. I must confess that I simply don’t see the point of such things, but that is because they take place in a socioeconomic circle very far removed from my own. And that’s fine. I don’t envy them their wealth and their fun.
I do think that such events are a vital link to a far superior culture, most of which has long since been lost. And for that reason, I think that such events are a very good idea.

The neo-Palestinians at Prager U get it quite badly wrong here:
The false premise behind this video is the assumption that women in the workforce is an unalloyed good. It plainly is not. The world DOES NOT need more working women. Western nations, in particular, desperately need more wives and mothers giving birth to multiple children in their early-to-mid-twenties.
Countries in Central and Eastern Europe that have instituted family-friendly policies, are beginning to see their marriage and birth rates rise, and their divorce rates drop. But that is only one part of the equation. The culture itself has to be changed, and women need to be taught from an early age that they should focus on finding husbands and bearing children, not chasing qualifications and careers.

This video of George Lucas watching the very first cut of STAR WARS Episode I: The Phantom Menace has been kicking around teh innarwebz quite a bit, and the reason why is very simple.
Ol’ Jabba the Lucas knew damned well that he’d royally screwed the pooch:
George Lucas’ reaction to seeing a cut of ‘The Phantom Menace’ for the first time is incredible. Everyone looks like they witnessed a death. #StarWars pic.twitter.com/sWmlR23qii

Speaking of Devil Mouse Wars, it is quite obvious that Kathleen Kennedy still has absolutely no bloody clue what the franchise was all about:
It is critical to remember and understand that Disney is not interested in making great STAR WARS films. They are only interested in squeezing out all blood-money from the franchise. That is all. They don’t care if that shit is good – they know it’s shit, they know we know it’s shit, and they know we know they know it’s shit.
And they don’t care.
They believe that the next STAR WARS film will still make about a billion dollars at the box office, because they think that the average STAR WARS fan will swallow any amount of bullshit and abuse from the franchise of their childhood.
I believe that they will get a truly jarring shock in a couple of weeks, but only time will tell. In the meantime – don’t bother going to see STAR WARS IX. Screw the Devil Mouse. To Hell with them – let them worship Lucifer, as they plainly want to.
The rest of us have better things to do.

Some legendary advice about how to control your temper and anger from one of the original Stoics:
Christianity provides a guide to controlling one’s rage and emotions that is, as far as I can tell, superior to that of Stoicism, because it provides a rational and powerful explanatory framework to teach us how and why evil works. But that does not mean that Christians have nothing to learn from Stoics. I reckon that stoicism is the next best thing to Christian love and virtue in terms of high-performance “mental programming”.
***
Judging by what happens every year in the Land Down Under during the Melbourne Cup, that lot could really use a good lesson in Stoicism:
I like Australians in general, but their drinking culture is a bit much even by European standards. Their drunken hussies could give England’s Train Smash Women a serious run for their money.

PJW tells some hard home truths about the rapid increase in suicides in the USA and the wider Western world:

Hey, you wanna see something mind-blowingly awesome? How about a Russian Su-57 doing a controlled flat spin?
This ability is not unique to the Su-57. The F-35 is also capable of doing the same thing. Thrust-vectoring nozzles make it possible to pull off what used to be an absolutely impossible stunt quite safely nowadays.
Of course, the fact that the F-35 can do this is merely proof positive that even a piano will fly and manoeuvre if given enough thrust. The fact that the Su-57 can do it, on the other hand, is absolute proof that the Russians deserve to be taken very seriously as a military opponent.
American foreign policy should be aimed at making an ally, or at least a sympathetic neutral party, not an enemy.

All right, one more badass – this time it’s Liam Neeson from back during his career renaissance after Taken was released. Now, he’s sharing a studio with the legendary Sir Patrick Stewart, so it’s hard to imagine how a single room could have contained all of that awesomeness – but then you have to remember that this is on something called The Graham Norton Show, which is some sort of late-night comedy show hosted by a flaming fairy, so that does tend to dial down the testosterone levels quite badly.
Anyway, here’s the clip:
He rather mangles the speech, but it’s a pretty epic moment nonetheless.

Comedy time, also from Dawn Pine – featuring Scottish comedian Billy Connolly:
Like most Scots, Mr. Connolly is very much a man of the Left, though he’s a bit of an odd bird in this regard. He is against Brexit but is also against Scottish independence – an incoherent position if there ever was one. But, he was (and remains) a very, very funny man, and it was his birthday yesterday. The fact is that, given that he has dementia from Parkinson’s Disease, he may not be with us for very much longer.

All right, you lot, pipe down – I said, PIPE DOWN!!! It’s tasteless to applaud such things!…
I mean, it’s frakkin’ hysterical, but still…
I’d LOVE to see the reaction photos from the Austrian bomb squad that had to deal with that particular call…
THAT MAN IS A LEGEND IN MY BOOK!!! I’d like to shake his hand – and also learn what kind of car he was driving. If it was a Bugatti Veyron, then I’m not in the least bit surprised.
That gives a whole new meaning to the term, “fried bacon”.
I have literally no response to that.
No comment.
Given what a bitchy Gamma LTC Vindman turned out to be, I’m still not sure he didn’t get an IUD…
They have FLYING BEARS now?!?! SHIT DUDE, WE’RE F***ED!!!
That is literally what life is like for me these days.
That kid should get a free ride straight to Harvard Business School. He could teach those uppity arrogant SOBs a few things.

Turns out you now can swear by Cthulhu’s Beard…
I call that one the “Fibonacci”…
I could swear I’ve seen a bass player in a famous metal band with that exact beard style…
I’m calling that “the Squidward”.
This is what Stanley Tucci would look like if he ever decided to join a gay biker gang.

For your gym beast, we’re back to looking at an actor getting ready for a role. Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt in The Witcher may, or may not, be good – I have no idea.

You might think you’re cool, but you’ll NEVER, EVER, EVER be as cool as Sir Christopher Lee:
It really sucks that ANGRA as a band had virtually zero stage presence back when Edu Falaschi was the frontman. That is one of their best songs – one of the most technically brilliant and exquisitely crafted songs ever recorded, especially in terms of drumming – and it sounds… boring.

And finally here’s a hot girl to get your week going.
This week’s Instathot is named Lina Posada. She’s from Barranquilla, Colombia, and believe it or not, she’s a few weeks older than me. Obviously, she’s aged quite a lot better than me, as we cannot deny that she is gorgeous. She lives in Medellin with her partner and their two children, so as far as her Thot Quotient goes, she’s pretty low down on the scale.
All right, chaps, that’s it, now get off the couch, go out there, and start crushing.

Very attractive but where are her organs?
Man, I always love your monday posts. They almost make up for… well… Monday.
There's a lot of assumptions that Idiocracy made that makes it unrealistic, but I have considered it a stunning commentary when you apply it to modern-day politics, especially when listening to someone like Maxine Waters who makes Dwayne Alazondo Herbert Mountain Dew Comacho sound like a GENIUS.
