Monday morning turkey curries

by | Dec 26, 2023 | Mondays | 3 comments

Before anyway jumps on his high horse and points out the blindingly obvious, yes, of course today is Tuesday, and I am well aware of that fact. This one is deliberately late, and with good reason. Seeing as how yesterday was Christmas, it seems somehow unfitting to trivialise the glory of Our Lord’s birth with the usual collection of geopolitical analysis, meme dumps, comic relief, and assorted thots.

There is nothing in the fine print that I can see, however, about the day AFTER Christmas.

So here we are, with the Great Mondaydact Browser Killer, on a Tuesday, just to change things up a bit. And this is, of course, the very last one for the entire year of 2023 – because the next time you see one of these, it will be the very first day of 2024, and we will need to start figuring out how to crush all over again.

In the meantime, let us try to understand our British friends when they use today to create something quite bizarre, called “turkey curry”.

This is apparently a tradition over in Ye Olde PommieBastardLande, and I have never, ever been able to figure out why. I happen to know a thing or three about curries – I do not particularly like them, personally, but they are nice to indulge in once in a while – and I can say with supreme confidence that never ONCE did anyone who came up with the concept of a curry, ever imagine putting a turkey in the pot.

This is because the parts of the world whence curry originates, are not the parts frequented by turkeys. Therefore, they do not generally fit into the taste palate associated with curry.

Seeing as all of this is a great oddity, let us therefore attempt to shed some light on an otherwise unfathomable situation.

They seem to have missed the fact that roughly 3% of India has relocated to Britain, thereby turning the former coloniser into a de facto colony itself

So apparently, turkey curry is just a great way to use up leftovers and combine two great British institutions into one.

Which really leads one to ask: how in God’s Name did these people EVER conquer most of the known world?!?!?!?!?

Dawn of Battle

The Male Brain has lots of great material for us on this last week of 2023. We start with a good one about “true” socialism from The Why Minutes, featuring Nick Freitas, who for some reason decided to rid himself of his epic beard:

No beard? Weak tea, bro.

But otherwise absolutely spot-on.

Sticking to the “socialists are classless idiots” theme, here is the great Thomas Sowell, who is still somehow alive and kicking at 93 (!!!!!!), explaining why intellectuals love socialism as a theory and concept – but are totally useless at handling its realities:

Someone quoted Orwell in the comments to that video, noting that some ideas are so stupid, only an intellectual can believe in them. Having been around more than my fair share of intellectuals in my life, I can only agree.

American Rewind looks back at how far and fast civilisation has advanced over the past 100 years, by reviewing how things USED to be back in the early 20th Century:

Keep in mind, Americans were responsible for many, if not most, of the advances that made our current industrial civilisation possible.

And they are also the ones most busily invested in tearing it down – while the Russians and Chinese are now the ones making the greatest strides in innovation, technology, and industry.

That’s irony for you.

And speaking of formerly great nations – thejuicemedia explains the extreme levels of government dysfunction in PommieBastardLande right now:

Reading Too Much Into Things

Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week looks at new research that apparently debunks the notion your body can only process 20g of protein at a time – the latest data suggest there is no real upper limit to how much protein you can consume, provided you exercise enough to metabolise it into muscle growth:

We know, we know, the idea that there is a 20 gram protein absorption limit has long been debunked. While we may know better, the idea that ‘any gram of protein consumed over 20 grams will go to waste’ still circulates. As well as this, past studies have shown that 20 grams of protein is sufficient to support muscle growth.

However, new evidence further supports the idea that there is no upper limit to our protein absorption post-resistance training. Therefore refuting the idea that we should be meticulously splitting our protein throughout the day and instead, aiming for a total protein goal for the day, split in a way that is most practical for our lifestyles.

But don’t rush to chug your protein shakes all in one go, we still need to put in the graft on the gym floor to make our meals turn to muscle.


Your long read of the week is from The Male Brain, and looks at how those who advocate for human rights, are now the ones arguing most vociferously against the Israeli government, which according to Jews makes them highly anti-Semitic:

Antisemitism has evolved through a breathtaking dialectical leap: It is now conveyed through the lingo of human rights. This is how a host of liberals and progressives—many of them Jews—have been seduced into supporting NGOs that claim to promote human rights, but are in fact promoting a racist view of the Jewish people. They do so by singling out the Jews as the one people not partaking in the universal right to self-determination, and Israel alone among the nations as the one state which has no right to exist. Singling out the Jews for special hostile treatment is, of course, the very definition of antisemitism.

How has this old-new antisemitism become a legitimate, even respectable position once again? And how did the idea of human rights, which purports to serve as a universal standard, get distorted so badly as to yield an argument for the targeting and exclusion of Jews?

One part of the answer is that academia and the media have created an Industry of Lies, as the title of Israeli leftist journalist Ben-Dror Yemini’s book accurately called it. By using gross double standards, this industry portrays Israel as a uniquely monstrous violator of human rights. The world’s actual egregious violators of human rights—such as China, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, and most of Israel’s neighbors—don’t receive a fraction of the moralizing attention that Israel gets.

But that is not the whole story. Another part of the answer lies in the way the human rights agenda has been channeled globally into undermining national democracies in general. This trend usually presents itself as a critique of nationalism, understood by the global left as proto-fascism permanently poised to break into actual fascism at any moment. The argument is admittedly catchy: If nationalism is particularistic and exclusive, then human rights, which are universal, are the answer. Catchy, that is, only if you conceive of nationalism as a “negation of others,” as opposed to the particular manifestation of a universal right to national self-determination.

What is more troubling is that behind the declared critique of nationalism lies the undeclared attack on democracy. Because to “transcend” nationalism is to “transcend” the nation-state. When those nation-states are democracies, that means “transcending” democracy too. It means undermining the one effective framework by which citizens exercise political control over their common fate. Imposing a universal regime of human rights from above, through international institutions, is therefore a direct attack on the right to elect the government under which one lives—a right which is the single most effective check against tyranny, and therefore the linchpin of liberty and all other human and civil rights.

Both parts of the answer—the demonization of Israel and the attack on democracy—were clearly manifest in the Durban conference of 2001, beginning with its Orwellian title: World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance. The conference turned into a festival of blood libels against the Jewish nation-state—in the name of tolerance, of course. But it also exhibited the rising trend of using the idea of human rights to undermine democracy.

John Fonte was the first to point out, a year after the conference, that the new transnational globalist agenda was utilizing the United Nations and the conference to undermine the principle of government by the consent of the governed. Forty-seven American human rights activists, Fonte noted, sent a petition to the UN’s high commissioner for human rights, under the title “A Call to Action to the United Nations.” The petition demanded that the U.N. impose on the U.S. an agenda that the U.S. government rejected. Fonte went on to write a landmark book, Sovereignty or Submission: Will Americans Rule Themselves or Be Ruled by Others?, detailing the many ways in which new globalist elites are bypassing democratic sovereignty in pursuit of policies that the citizens of democratic nation-states have not consented to.

The case of Israel is most instructive because the general trend of anti-democratic liberalism acquires special poignancy in the one instance where a nation-state’s very right to exist is being questioned. The effort to undermine the Jewish nation-state does not therefore need to camouflage itself. It can be explicit about both its aim and its means: the destruction of Israel in the name of human rights.

I do not necessarily agree with this take. I believe you can legitimately criticise the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza – as I do – without being anti-Semitic, but I also think the article raises a very good point about the amount of moralising people do over Israel’s approach to dealing with the Pali-Walis. It is hypocritical, to say the least, given what the Jordanians and Saudis do.

We report, you decide.” The response from one of my readers was even more hilarious – “I know about ‘Don’t stick your dick in CRAZY’, but I also know she is MY kind of crazy.” – Didact]

Right, that’s all, back to your Tums and Advil now, boys.

    I think every culture has some sort of dish where the leftover meat is immersed in a sauce of some sort. Just like every culture has some iteration of chicken and rice.

    Far as Turkey goes, I can take it or leave it. After throat cancer, I find it tough to eat. That said, turkey (over rice) is better with a roux based sauce cooked with a classic mirepoix and herbs.
