Kunstler: Pushback
A very brave law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, named Amy Wax has published the astounding argument that human beings in America would benefit from adopting “bourgeois values” and behaving accordingly. Bourgeois (Boozh-wah, for the underspeeched) may be an unfortunate term-of-art, since it came to be used as a pejorative back in the old hippie days — something that Ms. Wax might remember, since she is a Baby Boomer — but what else might you call this bundle of traditional values: honesty, fidelity, thrift, temperance, punctuality, fortitude, gratitude, dedication, kindness, loyalty, et cetera?
A glance at Amy Wax’s credentials might induce a head-snap.
Amy Laura Wax received a B.S. summa cum laude in molecular biophysics and biochemistry from Yale in 1975. She was then a Marshall Scholar in Philosophy, Physiology, and Psychology at Somerville College at Oxford University. She earned an M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1981, training as a neurologist, and received a J.D. from Columbia in 1987, where she was an editor of the Law Review. She was a Law Clerk to the Honorable Abner J. Mikva, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 1987-88. From 1988-94, she served as Assistant to the Office of the Solicitor General in the U.S. Department of Justice, where she argued 15 cases before the United States Supreme Court. Wax was a member of the Legal Affairs Committee, American Academy of Neurology from 1986-1992. In 1994, she joined the faculty of UVA [U. of Virginia]. She taught courses in civil procedure, labor law, and poverty law and welfare policy. She became Class of 1948 Professor of Scholarly Research in Law from 2000-01. After becoming a visiting professor to Penn Law School in 2000, she joined its faculty in 2001.
By some miracle, she didn’t end up a professor of Intersectional Gender Justice. Of course, the Social Justice commissars around the country regard her as just another neo-Nazi punk committing violence-through-speech against the ethno-sexual minorities who seek to throw off the shackles of Cis-White Privilege oppression. In an op-ed essay in the Philadelphia Inquirer (co-authored with Larry Alexander of the University of San Diego School of Law) titled Paying the Price for Breakdown of the Country’s Bourgeois Culture, Wax argued that “the single-parent, anti-social habits, prevalent among some working-class whites, the anti ‘acting white’ rap culture of inner-city blacks” and the “anti-assimilation ideas gaining ground among some Hispanic immigrants” are not suited to a First-World 21st Century Environment.
The casual observer (from Mars) might take all that as self-evident, but it’s a hard sell nowadays, especially in Ivory Towerville, where, supposedly, the rectified essences of abiding human intelligence are said to dwell. That super-refined scholarly nation-within–a-nation is also mostly walled off from the more unappetizing realities of what an American-style First-World 21st Century Environment actually is. In fact, that very “environment” is mostly characterized by a breakdown of just about everything that might promote the formerly eternal verities. It has been accompanied move-for-move by a breakdown in economic relations that leaves a big chunk of the national demographic peon-ized, bereft of work that is either meaningful or pays enough to support a family, and places them at the mercy (actually, there is no mercy) of gigantic, dishonest, avaricious companies and public institutions driven by stupid crypto-religious ideologies.
Oddly, the personal economic calamity represented by that trend is mirrored on the Ivy League campuses where a tiny elite cadre of tenured professors enjoys immunity from both impoverishment and real critical thinking, while an ever-expanding corps of serf-like adjunct teachers does all the heavy-lifting in the classrooms and struggles to pay the light bill — and a new breed of diversity deans and other administrative hierophants feeds gluttonously at the trough of the college loan racket.
The main criticism of Amy Wax’s prescription for cultural improvement is that it’s simply not possible to go back to the economically stable world of the 1950s that supported the roster of human virtues she wants to bring back online. It may be so, alas, but that still doesn’t obviate the basic value of behavioral norms. And deep down in their dark Gnostic hearts, the Social Justice Commissariat must agree. Otherwise, why would they be promoting so strenuously the exemplary earnest behavior of the DACA “Dreamers.”
Amy Wax was hammered by her colleagues at the Penn Law School for daring to express these ideas. More than half of the law faculty signed an “open letter” of censorious opprobrium against her. They “categorically rejected” her arguments without offering any counter-arguments. The law school’s chapter of the Lawyer’s Guild is maneuvering to get her fired from her teaching duties. That’s how we roll now in Witch Hunt Nation. I think Amy Wax has the fortitude to get through this. But will the universities ever recover?

“They “categorically rejected” her arguments without offering any counter-arguments.”
Sounds like some here. The FSofA is toast. Between being the world’s “YUGEST” DEBTOR NATION by far and governed by the most immoral, insane greedy pack of worthless humans its fate is sealed. Only the timeline is not fixed, at this point, but it cannot be long.

Yes, I agree. What really bought down this nation is not the pychos who make the decisions and plan their diabolical schemes. No, what did it was all of us on this country who over the course of decades upon decades allowed this country to be subsumed to hedonism, greed and selfishness and some of us became personifications of that. And so did not care what was done in our name overseas as long as we got ours.
makati1 on Mon, 18th Sep 2017 7:02 pm
Onlooker, I totally agree. We allowed it to happen and must now suffer the consequences. When I was born, there were about 140 million Americans. Now, there are 325 million. Over those years, greed spread like a virus across the US and, thru capitalism and the US media, the world. Now everyone wants to live the “American Dream” that never existed.
I see the economic end coming and hope it is still a few years away. But, everyday, current events seem to push it ever faster towards now. We shall see.

“”We’re run by the Pentagon, we’re run by Madison Avenue, we’re run by television, and as long as we accept those things and don’t revolt we’ll have to go along with the stream to the eventual avalanche…. As long as we go out and buy stuff, we’re at their mercy… We all live in a little Village. Your Village may be different from other people’s Villages, but we are all prisoners.” – Patrick McGoohan
“The Village is a virtual prison disguised as a seaside paradise: its inhabitants have no true freedom, they cannot leave the Village, they are under constant surveillance, their movements are tracked by surveillance drones, and they are stripped of their individuality and identified only by numbers.”
“The American Police State, much like The Prisoner’s Village, is a metaphorical panopticon, a circular prison in which the inmates are monitored by a single watchman situated in a central tower. Because the inmates cannot see the watchman, they are unable to tell whether or not they are being watched at any given time and must proceed under the assumption that they are always being watched.”
“Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide: this is the new mantra of the architects of the police state and their corporate collaborators (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Instagram, etc.).”
“Consider that on any given day, the average American going about his daily business will be monitored, surveilled, spied on and tracked in more than 20 different ways, by both government and corporate eyes and ears.”

“Among the most enduring political images of the 20th century was the military junta. It was a group of grim-faced officers — usually three — who rose to control a state. The junta would tolerate civilian institutions that agreed to remain subservient, but in the end enforced its own will. As recently as a few decades ago, military juntas ruled important countries including Chile, Argentina, Turkey, and Greece.”
“These days the junta system is making a comeback in, of all places, Washington. Ultimate power to shape American foreign and security policy has fallen into the hands of three military men: General James Mattis, the secretary of defense; General John Kelly, President Trump’s chief of staff; and General H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser.”
“It is no great surprise that Trump has been drawn into the foreign policy mainstream; the same happened to President Obama early in his presidency. More ominous is that Trump has turned much of his power over to generals. Worst of all, many Americans find this reassuring. They are so disgusted by the corruption and shortsightedness of our political class that they turn to soldiers as an alternative.
It is a dangerous temptation.”

Too many Europeons on the east and west coasts, and nuking both coasts would probably save humanity.
Besides, there are far too many arrogant shitheads.
A kill off of 90 percent of humans is a good plan and solution.

Humans are in the way and most need to go and be gone.

“Hellish Intensification — Maria’s Winds Jump 50 mph to CAT 5 Strength in Just 12 Hours”
http://tinyurl.com/y6vw4hmv
“As of this morning, Maria was a strong Category 2 Hurricane featuring 110 mph maximum sustained winds. Forecasters noted a potential for rapid intensification as the storm began to move over warmer than normal surface waters in the range of 29 degrees Celsius (84 to 85 degrees F) and as the atmospheric conditions became more favorable for storm development.”
“Like Irma and Harvey, Maria is tapping warmer than normal sea surface temperatures which is helping it to reach a higher peak intensity. This year, thunderstorms in the Inter-Tropical-Convergence-Zone (ITCZ) have been unusually intense. Strong thunderstorms in this region are basically the seeds that can grow into powerful tropical cyclones. So the larger, more energetic, more moisture-rich, and more numerous these storms, the higher potential that a strong hurricane will ultimately form once such systems enter the Tropical Atlantic. Warmer ocean surface temperatures are a direct upshot of human-caused climate change and there is some evidence that climate change is also increasing the intensity of the world’s most powerful thunderstorms — particularly over the Equatorial regions.”

Are you sure they will let you in? You are white after all and that is a sensitive, touchy topic in Anglosphere.

Now that’s a relief!
How’s that for what lays in my bottom drawer?
You confided that Italy is your future refuge, because your Italian wife is offering that escape route to you, now that you have an Italian passport. Now some friendly prepping advice… Italy was destroyed by the Americans in their European imperialist colonization effort. I would not assume that you will be necessarily very welcome there. Perhaps now is the time to learn flawless Italian, so you can hide your identity, or rather for what passes as your identity, because in your book having a strong identity is “racist” and “extremist” and you are glad that you are not like that. When you are asked what your identity is, you never give an answer, because you don’t have any.
Italy is whiter than the Netherlands. The national soccer team is 90-100% white, this in contrast to Holland, Britain and most of all France. I clearly warn you NOT to use the “racism” accusation too much in polite company. They have little patience for US commies like you. Fascism (=authoritarian nationalism) is an Italian invention. Berlusconi made (friendly) jokes in public about the teint of Obama. Italians are probably the least political correct people in Western Europe.
Perhaps St. Louis East is a more suitable final destination for you. Saves on relocation costs.

“Misuse of statistics”
http://tinyurl.com/hxr5fef
“This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia’s quality standards. The specific problem is: this article is badly written, often unclear Please help improve this article if you can. (November 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Statistics are supposed to make something easier to understand but when used in a misleading fashion can trick the casual observer into believing something other than what the data shows. That is, a misuse of statistics occurs when a statistical argument asserts a falsehood. In some cases, the misuse may be accidental. In others, it is purposeful and for the gain of the perpetrator. When the statistical reason involved is false or misapplied, this constitutes a statistical fallacy. The false statistics trap can be quite damaging for the quest for knowledge. For example, in medical science, correcting a falsehood may take decades and cost lives. Misuses can be easy to fall into. Professional scientists, even mathematicians and professional statisticians, can be fooled by even some simple methods, even if they are careful to check everything. Scientists have been known to fool themselves with statistics due to lack of knowledge of probability theory and lack of standardization of their tests.”

Kunstler has recommended Missouri as a refuge of first choice and I understand why.
But it absolutely will not be a suitable refuge for 1-percenters and vocal empire cheerleaders like you.

In 2017 Yugoslavs don’t exist anymore.
Likewise in 2030 Americans won’t exist either. Killed in 1965.

Mkat, wack nut, I talk about number like population densities, GDP, and ecological statistics. I don’t say what the people say in the streets, mkat. Please dig out that reference, stupid. I take your extremist comments and give you basic statistical and quantitative comparisons to show that your place of refuge is not a nirvana. If you read my comments you will know that I have been to the Netherlands multiple times and I lived in Europe for several years on and off in the late 80’s early 90”s. Just like with you forgetting multiple times Hello is from Switzerland. You routinely comment on every country on the earth according to your agenda du jour as if you have the deepest of understandings of the people. You act like you understand the entire US population but have not been here but a handful of times in ten years IMA to a little town in PA.

“I can’t remember ever to have described Missouri as an “awful place”.
Dumbass, last I looked Missouri is a US state. Nearly every one of your geopolitical fantasy and revision pukes is anti-US and pro-Eurotard. So go screw yourself you stupid inward looking prejudiced Eurotard. Own some responsibility for who and what you are instead of being bitter old men passing blame and complain on others. The both of you do little more than talk down others and talk up yourselves. That is a disgusting habit of low-lifers. You are both old men with no life in the waning years so you attack others to lift up your sagging self-esteem, pathetic

You sound like a wounded animal, Davy.
Back to reality:
https://www.rt.com/news/403781-syrian-army-euphrates-crossing/
Syrian army crosses the Euphrates river. Will soon connect to Iraqi forces (dominated by the Shia).
In 2001, 3000 American citizens were killed on purpose to create a Pearl Harbor 2.0 shock that enabled the US deep state to find public support to invade Mesopotamia.
Between 2003-2017 a drama unfolded that was to turn out in a major US strategic defeat in the ME.
The plan was to add Afghanistan, Iraq and later Syria and even later Iran to the US empire, after they already had KSA, Jordan and Egypt (but lost Persia in 1980).
The opposite happened.
If Assad manages to connect to the Iraqi army, the Middle East will be cut in three pieces: Turkey in the north, the Shia Crescent in the middle…

…and KSA in the South, with Shia Houti insurgents in Yemen.
Turkey is slowly distancing itself from the West as well and won’t be tempted to let itself being up against Iran. KSA is a palace coup away from detaching itself from the US led West.
And then there is Europe.

The former Stasi agent and unrepentant old school GDR commie Merkel is the last truly pro-US vassal in Europe. And hated by large parts of the German population for her insane migration policies:

And then there is the Heartland:

The true banner of conservative European America, where the Star-spangled banner is the progressive Yankee flag of the (((US empire))).
The Confederate flag has much more future than the Star-spangled banner.

Davy, my family is in the US. Many of my friends are in the US. I know what is happening in what is left of the US. You have no idea how many times I have been there or when. If you think I post everything I do on the internet, you are a fool. I give the NSA as little info as possible, or at least, I make them work for it.
I am not about to give any particulars to someone so rabidly supportive of the NSA and all it’s police state cousins. I am still required, by law, to report my income to the IRS gestapo annually on a short form and a one page, four question, form to the SS every two years. All that tells them is that I am still alive, have zero taxable income and live somewhere in the Ps. A P.O.Box, basically. Whereas, they watch you shit and listen and record every keystroke and conversation you make for future use.
BTW: I give the headlines that says it all. Just cut and paste into a search engine if you are really interested in reading them, which I know you are not as they point out the ongoing collapse of America. So many informed articles. So little time. LOL

“You sound like a wounded animal, Davy.”
What does that make you because you just capitulated?
Davy on Tue, 19th Sep 2017 6:54 am
mkat, sure you do and sure you are. I think there is a lot of fantasy in that 75 year old mind or a better term, senility. I don’t care about your stupid life you selfishly stuff on this board daily. Quit being stuck on yourself and contribute some objectivity and balance to help all of us get by better. You are off you rocker and a blemish to this board with your narcissism and emotional agenda of hate.

Davy, you are the delude one. Scared shitless that you will be trapped in the gulag when the SHTF. If Italy is such a good plan B, do it now. Tomorrow may be too late. Oh, I forgot, you cannot as you have to stay and defend your failing way of life against us “old men” who don’t give a damn about you or yours. Have you considered that you could do so from Italy? Oh, that’s right. Then you would be an “expat” just like me only you would be in just another frying pan. LOL
I suspect that if the moderators on this “board” didn’t want me here, I would be blocked. Obviously they don’t give a damn either.

The golden age may be tarnishing:
“Euro Tumbles On Report ECB Is “Concerned And Divided” Over End To QE”
http://tinyurl.com/yapd3ro9
“European Central Bank policymakers disagree on whether to set a definitive end-date for their money-printing programme when they meet in October, raising the chance that they will keep open at least the option of prolonging it again, six sources told Reuters. A stubbornly strong euro, with its dampening effect on inflation, is driving a rift among ECB policymakers, the sources on the ECB’s Governing Council with direct knowledge of its thinking said. The split is between ‘hawks’ — led by richer, northern countries such as Germany — who are ready to wind down the 2.3 trillion euros bond-purchase programme and ‘doves’ who simply want to reduce its monthly pace, the sources said. This is raising the likelihood that they will seek a compromise solution on Oct. 26, whereby any end-date for purchases would not be set in stone, or that they will put off part of the decision until December, the sources added. The main point of contention is the euro’s continued appreciation against major currencies, which is threatening to curb inflation in the euro zone by making its imports cheaper and exports dearer”

What’s da matter old man do I have you wetting your diaper? LMFAO I thought I was on your ignore list?

I care and I will guarantee you don’t own the board. Consider me your personal moderator. I promise you reliable service.
