Lord help us, it’s Monday again. And once again, yer very ‘eavy, very ‘umble servant, the great and wise Didact ‘imself, rides to the rescue with the Great Mondaydact Browser Buster, piled to the bloody brim with epicness and lunacy and assorted asshattery.
The past week was of course dominated by blaring headlines from every corner of the mainstream, uh, “media” that a noose was found in the garage of NASCAR’s only (half-)Black driver, Bubba Wallace. If you have even half a brain, you would immediately have smelled something rotten with the whole thing.
It turns out that Mr. Wallace didn’t actually see the supposed “noose”. He was told by someone in his garage that it was there. And, of course, being a driver in the most Southern of sports, he immediately played the Race Card.
This is a driver who has never finished higher than 28th in the NASCAR Cup Series. Now I know less about NASCAR than I do about American football, and my knowledge of both sports combined is less than my understanding of quantum physics. So I have no clue what that means. But I’m reliably informed that it means the guy is not very good at his job.
So when someone like that starts playing the Race Card, you know something is fishy.
And it turns out that what we were all smelling wasn’t just fishy, it was full-on top-shelf high-stink Surstromming. Here’s an article from Taki’s Magazine breaking it all down for us:
Unlike Scott, who got his start as the fastest bootleg corn likker driver in the county, Wallace is not a natural prodigy, but instead is a product of the Tiger Woods era of child competitors given every advantage by their parents. Wallace’s father, a wealthy white business owner, paid for his son to compete in youth motorsports from age 9 onward.
Soon he was the star of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program. The widespread hope has been that Wallace will be the American Lewis Hamilton, the half-black English driver who is a six-time Formula One world champion. He now drives the most legendary number in stock cars, Richard Petty Motorsports’ No. 43.
Unfortunately, Wallace hasn’t yet proven more than mediocre at the highest level, finishing 28th among drivers in each of the past two seasons.
As you have likely noticed in your experience with hate hoaxes going back to Tawana Brawley’s in 1987, the most gullible suckers tend to be the national media, followed by the Fortune 500, and then the local press.
The only institutions that have consistently kept their heads have been local cops, who weren’t invited to assist in finding the nooseman. Local police are used to people telling them tall tales all the time, so they aren’t surprised when somebody makes up lies about fashionable hate crimes. Not surprisingly, the current riots are focused on bringing down the autonomy of local police and replacing them with somebody more on board with The Narrative.
Just because I don’t understand NASCAR, doesn’t mean I don’t respect it. The drivers who do that sport have BIG brass balls. You need that in order to drive around a speedway at 200mph in a souped-up car with high banked turns for several hundred laps.
So when some hack comes along and ruins things for everyone by crying “RAAAAAACIST!!!” over something that is transparently a hoax, it just cheapens the true accomplishments of great champions.
Bubba Wallace may not have created this hoax himself – we don’t know and I won’t speculate. But it is unlikely that NASCAR will recover from its transparently ridiculous virtue-signalling after this episode.

His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, has undoubtedly had a very rough week. It’s been a very rough few months for him, in fact, and it appears that he is really feeling it:
That’s him on the South Lawn of the White House after the rally in Tulsa, OK, on the 20th. You can see his exhaustion on his face and in his body language. And you can see it in the relative inaction from him on a number of important subjects.
And yet… he remains the single most powerful force for civilisation that the West has right now.
As our friends over at Men of the West point out, you need to pray for him. We all do. I certainly do. We need to help him carry his Cross. He is pretty much the very last hope that America has for outright war in the streets. The MOTW article states that war in America’s streets will go from 4GW to 3GW very quickly, but I disagree with this – it’s going to go to ZERO-GW very fast, which is to say, completely uncivilised, savage, barbaric warfare that will make the Balkans disintegration look like a drunken summer picnic slapfight by comparison.

#BasedTucker is based:
Tucker is absolutely right about the fact that these rioters are utter morons. They truly are. They’re idiots, and him calling them “mouth-breathers” is a real high point in media history.

I don’t often feature Sean Hannity on these posts, simply because I strongly prefer Tucker’s approach to laying out the problems and knocking them all down. But his rant about General Michael Flynn’s complete exoneration is EPIC and deserves to be seen:
If you aren’t horrified by what has been done to General Flynn, and by extension to the God-Emperor, then you aren’t paying attention. There is simply NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER any longer that the Obama Maladministration attempted to depose an incoming duly elected President and completely pervert the course of an election.
THAT HAPPENED in America. That was real. That is not how a Federal republic operates – it is how a tinpot dictatorship does.
You want to know how you go from a Senate to a Caesar? THAT is how it happens, gentlemen. Go look at the history of the fall of the Roman Republic – not the Empire, the Republic – and study the background behind the Catiline Conspiracy. You are watching an eerily similar train of events playing out right before your eyes.

El Jefe Razorfist has a very interesting take on the current chaos and anarchy gripping America, and his message to the Razorforce is… CHILL THE F*** OUT:
With great respect to Lord Razor of the Fist Clan, I do not share his relative optimism.
Yes, America has been through severe convulsive disturbances before. And yes, America has come through them more or less intact.
The difference this time is that America isn’t actually America anymore. The Whites who made it possible for disparate races to live in peace on the same territory are in full retreat, and other races have made it ABUNDANTLY clear that they will not let Whites live in peace. Meanwhile, they are quite happy to enforce law and order in their own territories using gang patrols, if necessary.
One way or another, law and order will be restored to the geographical footprint of the USA. I simply think that it will be the kind of law and order that most of us REALLY will not like.
I’m not being black-pilled here. I don’t want a war in America, but if there has to be one, let’s get it over and done with already. Let those who started this war pay an extremely bloody price for their stupidity.
But war is NOT something that the Right wants or looks forward to, because we understand its true nature and its utter savagery.

That would be a very good start, because the Devil Mouse’s insistence on ramming identity politics down everyone’s throats has been an utter and total failure at every level.
But at this point I strongly suspect that the STAR WARS brand is simply done. Might as well just let it die an ignominious and extremely painful death, costing Disney billions in the process.

Your “Science is F***ING WEIRD” moment of the week from Dawn Pine:
In a research paper published this week, academics detailed a novel method of recovering conversations and audio recordings by observing vibrations in a light bulb.
The technique, which they named Lamphone, revolves around the principle that objects vibrate when soundwave hits their surface.
When this happens in a light bulb, academics say the vibrations also create small flickers in light emissions. They say that by using powerful sensors, they can record the light variations and reverse-engineer the sound waves that hit the light bulb’s surface.
But like any novel surveillance technique, Lamphone has its advantages and limitations.
The most obvious is that attackers need a direct line of sight to the light bulb in a room or public space. Light bulbs protected by decorative covers or other constructs are safe from this attack, and so are conversations that take place in rooms without windows.
However, once a line of sight to a light bulb is available, academics say an attacker can use tools like a telescope and an electro-optical sensor to record light variations in the light bulb from large distances and don’t necessarily have to be close to their targets.
In experiments they carried out for their paper, they said they successfully recovered sound and conversations from 25 meters (82 feet) away.
Whoa. That’s… creepy.

Your long read of the week is a RIGHTEOUS moment from a Russian Orthodox priest who denied Holy Communion to members of Black Lives Matter:
Therefore, as a priest in the Orthodox Church, it is my duty to ban all members of Black Lives Matter from receiving Communion. I will not desecrate the precious Body and Blood of Christ, by allowing it to touch the unclean lips of those who are members of that satanic organization.
If you are willing to renounce that organization, and to cancel your membership in that group, then you can come to confession. You can be absolved of the sin you committed by joining Black Lives Matter. After that, you can take Holy Communion. After — not before. Until you demonstrate repentance, you will not receive the Eucharist.
Black Lives Matter is rotten to the core, and has been since the moment it began. This can be demonstrated by considering the founders of the movement, the activities of the organization, and the published statements on the group’s website.
(H/t our good friend Adam Piggott, the Gentleman Adventurer, and evidently nowadays a Catholic Crusader too. Good on ya, mate.)

The Neo-Tsar’s referendum on proposed Constitutional amendments is meeting with broad popular support:
Russian state pollster VTsIOM on Monday published an exit poll showing a vast majority of Russians backing proposed constitutional reforms, days before the end of voting.
Some 76% of respondents voted for the package of amendments, which range from better pensions and minimum wages to a reset of term limits that would allow President Vladimir Putin to run again in 2024 and potentially stay in power until 2036.
The vote, which the opposition has slammed as illegal and prone to rigging, began last week and is due to end on Wednesday.
VtsIOM, which stands for the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center, polled more than 163,000 voters in 25 regions, with about 70% agreeing to say how they voted.
The Western whorenalist classes are all making a huge deal about the fact that the Constitutional amendments will allow Putin to stay on until 2036. To which I say: BIG EFFIN’ DEAL.
Brothers, DO NOT be taken in by the Western propaganda about the man. He is not a nice person, at all, but he is also a unique one.
If you actually look at the contents of the amendments, the contents are astonishingly pro-Russian.
The new amendments would mandate that: Russian law takes precedence over international law and treaties; that marriage is between one man and one woman, thereby outlawing gay “marriage” for good; enshrine “faith in God” in the Constitution itself, which even the AMERICAN Constitution doesn’t do; adjust pensions to inflation and provide a true minimum wage; and ban territorial concessions to other countries.
And that’s before we get to the fact that the amendments ban dual-citizens from running for or holding senior positions in the Russian government. That’s before we get to the fact that the new Constitution will ensure that only a Russian can rule over other Russians.
This isn’t immoral or crazy. It is absolutely right and just. Other nations shouldn’t be criticising Russia for this – they should be following suit.
As for Putin himself – as I have written about him many times before, he is a singular figure in history.
He understands that he is the man that Russia needs. But he also understands that no one else can, or should, do things the way he has done. So he has deliberately fashioned Constitutional amendments that accomplish two things:
They let him stay in power until he feels that his job is done; and,
They prevent anyone else from becoming a new Putin.
That level of foresight in impressive – scary, even.

Dawn says that he is an ESTJ and therefore quite employable. I’m an INTJ and evidently slightly less employable – though, judging by my recent history, I’m basically unemployable at this point…
Dawn asked me to explain this next one for everyone’s enlightenment, so I shall:
OK, so “kueh” in both Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Malay means, literally, “cake”. Indonesians are past masters at making extremely tasty, extremely sweet confectioneries. What you’re looking at above is a list of specialty cakes made by Indonesians (and Malays too) which make heavy use of palm sugar and coconut. As such, they taste VERY different from standard Western and Russian pastries – they have a definite exotic and spiced taste to them that makes them highly delicious, addictive, and thoroughly dangerous for your weight-loss goals.

I think that taking that Quiz got a Homeland security assault team sent to my house.
Which answer did they object to the most – "No, I don't agree with gay marriage and I think that homos should get free helicopter rides", or "Yes, the people should have the right to keep and bear arms, and shoot Federal agents on sight for trespassing"? ))
Probably both of those plus the fact that a teacher should be required to carry to be employed as a teacher.
"Unfortunately, Wallace hasn’t yet proven more than mediocre at the highest level, finishing 28th among drivers in each of the past two seasons."

"… here's a very interesting and quite thorough quiz …"
Oh this should be fun! 🙂
"Should universities provide 'trigger warnings' and 'safe spaces' for students?"
No, but any existing safe spaces should be cleaned out periodically with tear gas and fire hoses.
"Should the government support a separation of church and state by removing references to God on money, federal buildings, and national monuments?"
No, because without these reminders, people would worship the State.
"Should the government fund space travel?"
No, because government involvement has already wrecked American science, the real legacy of Vannevar Bush.
"Should the U.S. build a wall along the southern border?"
Yes, because it guarantees the safety of Mexican cartels from stray bullets fired by US civilians along the northern frontier.
Oh … did someone in Mexico say we should send someone to negotiate? 🙂
The results weren't too surprising since they didn't include a Loyalist party.
87% Constitution, 79% Libertarian, 73% Republican … and then 18% Green, 15% Socialist, and 10% Democratic.

If Bubba Wallace were a movie director, he'd be Albert Pyun or Uwe Boll with that kind of lifetime underachievement award.
I'd say Uwe Boll at least has some achievements in his career – of the kind that no one else would ever want, admittedly. Bubba Wallace can't even claim that much. At least BloodRayne starred Kristana Loken and Sir Ben Kingsley. (God only knows how and why he agreed to appear in that film.

Hey Didact did you hear Stefan Molyneux and American Renaissance have been ban off Youtube. 2 of the videos you put up on the Monday are now disappeared thanks to people at youtube.
I saw that Stefan has been booted – didn't know about AmRen. I'm not in the least bit surprised about either one of them. I don't think they were making any real money from YouTube for a while. AmRen's videos are always immediately demonetised, and I'm pretty sure Stefan's videos have been demonetised for at least a year. It was merely a matter of time.
This was always going to happen. YouTube was always going to do this. The question is, what are creators like Stefan going to do about it?
If past performance is any indication – basically nothing. Like most "conservatives", they'll just sit back and take it. What they SHOULD be doing is going after YouTube and others for tortious interference.
"Should the government support a separation of church and state by removing references to God on money, federal buildings, and national monuments?"
I thought putting god on paper money was an insult. Money means 'mono (one) eye' and the way they print the notes it seems like they mean that the government is the all seeing entity. I take it as a sign of worshiping the government and its fake money. Even the dome shaped design was taken from the church. I think the U.S government had already separated from religion but they use it as a front to manipulate people.
On another note, the pics with guns and girls are nice. There should be a slogan about it. 'Raise your guns and drop your gins – how to end rape' lol
With regards to Stefan, I'm not surprised by the censoring either. I think he should build a website with a few others who want to avoid being purged by SoyTube. There is no other way. Either we get our own fully functioning websites or spend a few billions acquiring mass media websites. They have the audience, so all those who got banned will bounce back in a year or so.
I think he should build a website with a few others who want to avoid being purged by SoyTube
He has his own site, but Stefan is more of a lone wolf – he's not known for playing too well with others.
I suspect that Stefan isn't going to lose much from getting kicked off YouTube, Patreon, and so on and so forth. He's been deplatformed repeatedly before and seems to be doing just fine.
Either we get our own fully functioning websites or spend a few billions acquiring mass media websites
Indeed. Trying to outspend the opposition is usually a very stupid exercise in futility. Everything that I have seen and experienced tells me that it is a much smarter idea to build organically in an antifragile manner.

Doesn't that make Bubba Wallace's career trajectory even worse than that of GoDaddy's former DriverThot Danica Patrick?
no.
Richard Petty Motorsports ( RPM ) is a bottom tier, one car team and Bubba is their only driver. Bubba is pretty much performing at the level to be expected from the level of his equipment.
i knew Robbie Loomis way back, RPM is a penny pinching org and has been since the 1950s. they were smart about the way they built their cars back in the day, that and factory sponsorship were how they got so many wins. it's been decades since RPM had major backing and nowadays it takes Big Stacks to go fast. if you don't have your own wind tunnel and 7 post shaker you are not going to be leading edge.
Danica was ( almost ) ALWAYS the worst driver on her own team. her team mates were winning races and competing for championships, she was getting lapped by them. there was many a time when NASCAR would come back from a commercial break to an in-car view of Danica running by herself, laps down on the field
…
which tells the viewer that nothing interesting happens at a race? you've got 43 cars competing and NO ONE on the entire track is dicing for position?
conclusion: Danica always drove BELOW the level of her equipment, that men were capable of competing in.
i will say that, prior to this noose thing, Bubba did a pretty good job of not being offensive and not doing stupid crap on track … which is WAY more than you can say for Danica.
so far as the "never higher than 28th" thing, that's just going to confuse race fans. nobody cares about points finish UNLESS you're in the running for the championship. and after the season is over, nobody cares about ANY points position EXCEPT FOR the champion.
Bubba has a 2nd at Daytona and a 3rd at Indy, that's what racers will talk about.
To be honest, (very funny) Memes aside, it was Richard Petty pushing the whole 'race card' thing, Bubba apparently just wants to race, and was running with it because his boss told him so. I kinda feel sorry for the guy.
Richard Petty was the real-life inspiration for the 'greedy, narcissitic, talented driver totally in corporate pockets' meme so prevalent as the 'bad guy' in movies about racers, from Days of Thunder to Cars.
It must totally suck driving for him.
i'm not sure where you're getting all this from. Richard isn't perfect, he's a Silent Gen civnat. but there's a reason why Robbie went back to RPM after winning a championship with Jeff Gordon and Rick Hendrick. and that's because Richard treated him like family. cheapskate family, but family nonetheless.
Richard Petty: "I took it for granted that you'd always be around. Now, if you were talking to me about ninety-nine percent of the deals you could possibly have, I'd tell you to get out of here and get back to work. But Rick Hendrick is good people"
nobody in big league racing has a problem with being in a "corporate pocket", from F1, to Aussie v8s, to Indycar, to NHRA drag racing, to BTCC, to Stadium Trucks, to Le Mans, to NASCAR, to WRC you've got to have a big money sponsor just to be in the field. you usually have to have multiple big sponsors to run up front.
you want "greedy and narcissistic", you want to look at people like Ricky Spinhouse ( very little talent and an ass ), Dale Earnhardt ( Sr and Jr ), Robbie Gordon ( talented but strategically one of the dumbest ever ), Kyle Petty ( wrecked Sr on the last lap and Davey Allison after the checker for beating him in the 1992 Winston ) and Danica Patrick.
Richard has always been respected BY DRIVERS as a racer who would almost never screw another man over for a win. there's a lot of guys you can't say that about.
