So just move into your underground bunkers already, angry white dudes.
Over on Chateau Heartiste, the Heartiste formerly known as Roissy is in full-blown white supremacist mode today.
Apparently what got dear old Mr. H in an especially racist mood was a comment from a reader called Libertardian who suggested that, while in the good old days, civilization used to rein in the alleged worst tendencies of women, “in the West we had to abolish civilization because it was hurting people’s feelings.”
This little comment was enough to send Mr. H into a full-blown keyboard-smash Whitepocalypse rage.
Every monster and manboob, every fat feminist and single mom, every quadgender and third world wretched refuse had to be appeased and their crocodile tears dried, and the cause of all their histrionically dramatized hurty — white civilization itself — razed to make room for the glorious vomit of vibrancy that is currently prolapsing the rectum of the historical West.
You get double points if you were able to make sense of that mess of a sentence on the first pass. Why is it that so many cultural elitists and would-be defenders of civilization are such terrible writers?
Just a note on usage here: When alt-right types use the terms “vibrancy” or “vibrant” it’s their oh-so-clever, oh-so-sarcastic way of referring to racial diversity and/or people who aren’t white.
God looked over all that He had made, and saw that it was good. The leftoid looked over all that his ancestors had made, and saw that it was good enough to squander. And on the eighth day, the leftoid rested his gated community security detail.
Yeah, I can count the number of “leftoids” I know that live in gated communities on the fingers of my imaginary third hand.
Anyway, it’s helpful for Heartiste to remind us from time to time how comprehensive his hate really is. And that many of his followers are even worse than he is in this regard.
Naturally, in the comments, some of these terrible people added their terrible thoughts.
everybodyhatesscott, for his part, was in the mood for murdering elected officials:
I really hope I’m still alive to see it when we brings the guillotines back. I’d say 2/3+ of our representatives are deserving of it and it’s probably closer to 4/5′s. Granted, the gallows are more american.
cryo, in a comment in which he cranked the racism up to eleven, reported from the front lines of Hartford, Connecticut:
I was in the metro part of Hartford, Connecticut the other day. Might as well have been in the Third World. After working hours, all decent working folk flee to the surrounding suburbs. What’s left over is hideous to behold: packs of feral pavement apes roaming the blighted and burnt-out neighborhoods. What once were charming and historic Victorian houses are now blasted crack dens of eldritch horror. Niglets as young as 8 running around with loaded guns and terrorizing public parks. Whores peddling their fetid vaginas in front of Jamaican bodegas and Check$ Ca$hed places.
This is pretty much the future of any eastern seaboard city that isn’t attractive to SWPLs [white liberals]. It will get worse and worse until finally the madness starts to invade the suburbs. By then, whites and other human species will have to live in a constant state of uncertainty and fear. Section 8 housing and minority pandering are the greatest weapon the ruling class has: blacks especially are a potent biological weapon that can wipe out entire civilized communities in less than a decade
Dan Fletcher, meanwhile, suggested that the only solution to all this is to go to infinity … and beyond. Literally. Convinced that people turn to “artificial. Feminism, multicult, white-guilt” ideologies only when they’ve got no new frontiers to explore, he argued that
the halt on human space exploration has been such a tragedy. Space is the next frontier. Mankind’s survival and salvation. A new frontier and a new struggle for people to throw themselves into. Something real and dangerous. A stark contrast to the petty vapidness of the social justice whack-jobs and other assorted fairies. A true adventure.
With nothing to fight against, people fight against themselves in a desperate bid to fulfill their primal need for struggle. Time to get off this rock.
Dan, I agree wholeheartedly with that last sentence. I would happily donate to a project to put you, Heartiste and the rest of his fans on a rocket to Uranus.
Oh, I think it’s raining. Look, my face is wet.
But you’re inside —
Shhhh. It’s raining.
Oh, was it World Cat Day yesterday?
I’m sorry, I was off celebrating International Day of the Female Orgasm. Unfortunately videos of that aren’t very appropriate, so allow me to second the SQUEE over the kitty.
It was World Cat Day yesterday? I thought every day is a World Cat Day (especially Caturdays) and admit only linking the kitty to share the squee. ^^;
Also boring troll is boring. (I caught up with the tread.) But at least no wall of texts this time.
It was the Day of Ultimate Misandry, that’s what it was.
Wrist braces were invented by an MRA.
@ cloudiah
You laugh, but one day the vicious reflection-corgis will rise out of their watery prison and you will look down and shout “save us” and that corgi will say “arf.”
“He seemed like a perfectly nice guy (like the real GC, who’s said to be a sweetie,) but his face at rest was naturally frowny, and he had big eyes and a very snub nose. I thought it very fitting that I saw him on World Cat Day”

Not Uranus, please David. I’m an Aquarian and I don’t want my favorite planet defiled.
Quoth the husband, “Of course! It’s my favorite heavenly body!”

But yeah, regarding disability… if it really does come in, I don’t have to assume homelessness as my default setting! I don’t have to worry about trading desperately-needed sanity points for money to afford a roof! I can reenter the workforce at a slow, gentle pace for me, without constantly having the spectre of destitution hovering at my back. I now longer have to treat food, housing, and other things as a, “Pick two,” scenario!
I don’t know how to deal with the concept of such wealth. I just kind of assumed I would be like this forever.
Given that the Voight-Kampff primarily tests emotional responses, it’s right out.
Hyena Girl – exactly what I was thinking.
LBT – while our paths have been different, as an SSDI recipient I welcome you. Hope it gets better.
You guys just know that at the end of the month, it’ll have turned out they just approved our paperwork or something, and just means that now the next six-month-long process will start or something.
But still… ZOMG ZOMG WINDOWS. ZOMG ZOMG.
Of course, it is feminists who argue in favor of “paper abortions” where moms can decide they want no responsibility for their own children and they can decide to stop giving them food, clothing, and shelter. Oops, how silly of me, it is the MRA’s who want that right for fathers! It’s the MRA’s who want fathers to pay no child support and do none of the caregiving, but have the final say on how the children are raised.
Okay, maybe you mean that feminists want to take away men’s right to vote, but still want men to do 2/3 of the world’s work, produce half of the world’s food, but earn only 10% of the world’s income and own less than 1% of the world’s property. Oops, my mistake again. It’s the exact opposite!
Oh, you’re actually referring to all of those feminists who don’t want girls or women to have access to an education or career opportunities so that they will be forced to be financially dependent on men. Darn it, once again, I’m mistaken. It’s actually MRA’s who argue for that.
You need to help me out here, Good, because I just can’t figure out how feminists want women to have equality without responsibility.
Also, if anyone wants to make a wager, my bet is that if he answers, it will either be something about “paper abortions” or a boring rant about lifeboats.
RE: thebionicmommy
You give Good too much credit. He’ll probably just respond with something borderline incoherent and unrelated to your comment, if he does at all. Or that women don’t do anything and those stats are all false.
I’m going to be kind here and assume that you’re probably too young to know any better and certainly not old enough to have forgotten this stuff.
I’m old enough to know that the mature way to discuss anything is to address the subject, not the person. The below link is a good example of what I the point I was making; that feminists want equal rights only to the extent that it doesn’t get in the way of women’s special protections:
http://nationalprogressive.blogspot.com/2012/05/feminist-case-against-era.html
AVM fully supports the ERA:

Good, I’m sorry, probably it’s just me, I’m trying to follow your argument, really, but I don’t understand why the corncob pipes absolutely must be manufactured by wombats. Wouldn’t koalas do it just as well?
“good example of the point I was making”, since grammar trolling is so popular here.
Yeah, but, what distinctives exactly do moose have to leverage?
Just remember, a capybara is not a suitable substitute for a ferret. The ability to squeeze through tight spaces is essential.
But if tin whistles are made out of tin, what do they make fog horns out of?
And baby food?
This link proves that everything I’ve said is right, and everything you’ve said is wrong:
http://www.theonion.com/articles/insecure-frustrated-bully-with-something-to-prove,33427/
Also, capybaras have bad grammar, so it’s imperative that they be trolled for at least five days.
The mature way to discuss anything is to address the capybaras as the subjects, not as the capybaras.
RE: katz
Banana. Definitely banana.
I’m robust enough to know that the manipulative way to hunt rabid unicorns is to peel the cigarette, not the torch. This is a good example of what I the point I was making; that cavemen want furtive camels only to the extent that it doesn’t get in the way of golfers’ disruptive libraries.
Good, that feminist’s post wasn’t arguing in favor of any special protections for women. It was just saying that an ERA could potentially cause more harm than good, because there are so many conservative judges who could try to roll back women’s rights from the bench using the ERA as their justification. It could also cause people to declare “Sexism is solved forever!” just because of the ERA, much like so many people claim that racism is gone forever since Obama became the POTUS.
She did mention that the ERA could affect cis women’s right to choose, since the ERA does not distinguish between people with uterutes and people without uteruses in regards to access to medical services like abortion. This is important because only people with uteruses would ever need an abortion. That’s just a biological fact, though, not a bias. She also argued that the ERA could weaken sexual harassment laws because it doesn’t acknowledge how sexual harassment affects women more than men.
Read it again, and tell me where she actually demands special privileges for women.
RE: thebionicmommy
You FOOL! Don’t you know the ERA can only be voiced by the Abrahamic judges of the Pentecost? Now you’ve brought the stygian depths of unicorns upon us, and society will devolve into Dada and Quaylisms FOREVER!
@LBT,
First, congrats on your disability claim going through. Second, yes, you called it when you predicted Good would respond in an incoherent way and not engage with what I said. It’s a pity, too, because I wanted him to engage. That’s more fun.
Ha ha ha, that’s true. I forgot that. My bad.
thebionicmommy my sexual harassment training at work put a lot of emphasis on the fact that either gender could commit sexual harassment against either gender. In fact half the question in the test were ensuring we understood this fact.
It would be intriguing what effects it would have since I have never read it. If legislation has been sitting for 30 odd years it seems unlikely to ever pass. I also no longer live in US so don’t care that much.
We had a day for “women” in my field (which is dominated by men). It was about balancing your life and your career. Men were welcome to attended. Some did, and decided talks on how to balance child care and work were irrelevant to them. I don’t think it would be bad if men in general had the opportunity to attend these days.
At the same time almost any law can be used by those with most power to increase their power.
Good, do you have any point except that you dont understand feminism?
Come on, guys, it’s totally simple. If it has “equal rights” in the name, you have to support it or else you don’t support equal rights. Duh!
It was just saying that an ERA could potentially cause more harm than good, because there are so many conservative judges who could try to roll back women’s rights from the bench using the ERA as their justification.
The only rights that the ERA can roll back are special rights since special rights are not equal rights (which is what the article’s writer is clearly saying).
Also, can you explain the incoherency of my response and what specifically did you post that you were waiting on a response to? I don’t monitor this site all day as Falconer does (he/she responds within seconds to any post I make, no matter the time of day).
Well, you clearly haven’t addressed the capybara/ferret issue.
Just to clarify I don’t believe men experience an equal amount of harassment. I do believe that a man would be made to feel uncomfortable in situations women deem harassment if the roles were reversed.
“We had a day for “women” in my field (which is dominated by men). It was about balancing your life and your career. Men were welcome to attended. Some did, and decided talks on how to balance child care and work were irrelevant to them.”
I just feel the need to point out that some of us working women don’t have children and so the balance of child care and work is irrelevant to us as well. I would hope the “women’s days” touched on more issues than just that (although I understand for people with children it’s a big one, and should be for mothers and fathers both).
RE: Good

*shakes head sadly* You need to go back to the unicorns, man, they didn’t train you right. Seriously, have you spent NO thought on the capybara/ferret issue?
@Pear tree, it’s been about 15 years since I took a sexual harassment class, and our training video also showed scenarios of women harassing men. The first scenario had a male boss demand a female employee have sex with him to get a raise, and the second scenario had a group of women making lewd comments about a male coworker having a nice body. Unfortunately, it did not have any scenarios about the kinds of harassment faced by LGBT employees.
I don’t know how much of a difference an ERA would make in peoples’ every day lives. At the very least, it could be symbolic of feminism’s progress.
The men who say that probably need a class like that the most, to at least make them aware that some of their coworkers, most of whom are women, have to struggle to balance their job and their family. So they can get a dose of empathy. And the single dads can also benefit from that kind of lesson. The problem of balancing work and family has gotten so bad that a lot of people of all genders decide not to have any children at all, even though they want to be parents. Or people take the plunge and become parents, but have to leave work or take lower paying work to handle it.
Stop the presses! Mystery solved! Today I caught my seed thief redhanded, right in the act of rooting through my trash in search of used condoms and discarded positive pregnancy tests to confirm the spermburgling had paid off!
Just kidding, I don’t have any condoms OR pregnancy tests of any kind in my trash. The seed thief was actually rooting through the handful of grapes and cherries I had put out for birds! It even tried to climb into my window, the sneaky little succubus …
It was a ferret with a bushy tail, aka tree rat, aka skwerl. I did not ask if it could fly or if it was David Futrelle.
Here is the text of the Constitutional amendment that was passed in 1972:
Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.
It has yet to be ratified.
There are a number of laws that have been passed by congress because the lack of the ERA made it necessary. The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act being one of the most recent.
The problem.
She never mentioned any special rights for women. You tell me what rights she was saying that women should have but no one else. Be specific.
The main right she discussed being rolled back in the post was about the right to access abortion. This is not a special right, even though the majority of people who get abortions are women. The reason that more women get abortions than men is because more women have uteruses than men. Now trans men and non binaries who can get pregnant could also lose their access to abortion services if conservative judges can use the ERA to do so.
By the way, if conservative judges attack abortion rights, is that also “legislating from the bench” or are they just using their judicial powers wisely? It’s funny how that double standard works.
Off topic, but Hugo Schwyzer has returned to Twitter, obviously in the midst of a manic episode (which he admits), saying that he’s a fraud and that his critics are right:
https://twitter.com/HugoSchwyzer
That’s just downright embarrassing behavior there. Did he just change his tag line to “I tweeted too much and I am in jail. Saving me from myself”?
You didn’t need to ask. All squirrels are David Futrelle. David Futrelle is all squirrels.
RE: David
*makes a high whistling sound of deep emotional pain* Why won’t he go awaaaaaaayyyy, AUGH.
“You didn’t need to ask. All squirrels are David Futrelle. David Futrelle is all squirrels.”
Who is the man the David Futrelle(s) are attacking in the picture, then? Or is David Futrelle the man and also the squirrels?
It’s David Futrelle, and squirrels, all the way down.
Oh holy fuckballs. Seeing that twitter account… it’s a train wreck guys. I don’t even want to touch it, because. Uh. DUDE.
She never mentioned any special rights for women. You tell me what rights she was saying that women should have but no one else. Be specific.
She referenced rights to special protections:
4. “Equal means Strictly Equal.” One ERA supporter argued to me that Courts should treat differently the words and acts that create a “hostile environment” for a female worker differently from the rules for a male’s sexual harassment claim. She argued, logically enough, that women are more sensitive to sexual comments than men.
The ERA–remember that most federal judges are Men–would smash that very idea. Making women LEGALLY equal to men would bar governments from adopting any law that *protects* women differently from men.
