Pacifiers For All

Source: Robert De Niro Responds to Trump Win: I Feel Like I Did After 9/11

During elections and especially Presidential elections, candidates are under constant pressure to build arguments in favor of their worldviews.  The logic is that if they can make their case compellingly and with logic, people can be swayed to see things their way.

Turns out that this whole exercise in logic and civility is a complete waste of time.  From the crazed responses ( and there is no way to minimize this ) to the recent election, there is no amount of logic that can appease the nutters who are hard wired in their mental delusion.

From the drama queens such as DeNiro comparing it to 9-11,  and Cher heading to Jupiter to students huddled in mass cry-ins and having stress dogs to pet as well as using coloring books to cope, it looks like a neutron bomb of stupidity was released at some point affecting the cerebral cortex of select parts of the population.

This has been manifest by the hysterical wailing from most in the entertainment business and given voice by a complicit media.  It’s unclear why anyone would consider that the opinions of such intellectual heavyweights as Miley Cyrus and Wanda Sykes are any more important than the guy driving a tractor in Iowa.   The rejection of Trump by the glitterati is not really a rebuke of the man as much as it is a dismissal of the population that voted for him.  It is the height of condescension that was rightfully kicked over in the election like a flimsy sand castle.

A sense of self importance has been de rigeur for years in the entertainment business and is a rite of membership for the most part.  Luckily, regular folk can choose to ignore or discount their obtuse rants.  The unexpected and scary revelation is the frightening degree of extended adolescence among the college set; the pool of future decision makers.

They are taught and espouse a worldview which is clearly delusional and which professes rejection of hatred and ignorance, both straw men of their own imaginations.  When students are taught to think correctly rather than critically, the results will be, well, the snowflakes that are created daily.  It’s a fair guess that many privileged kids in school today live insulated lifestyles supported by parents that quite possibly represent the population they disdain.  If a school needs safe zones and rules against micro-aggressions, then the education is literally not worth the paper that the diploma is printed on. For those students, instead of a mortar board and certificate, perhaps they can be awarded a binky and safety pin upon graduation.

Not making this up.  What’s amazing is not the infantile (and likely illegal) directive; it’s the fact that this guy Maloney, actually convinced people to hire him.

The logical thing is to take this to the next step and announce publicly that customers not conforming to his worldview politically,  on global warming or on boxers versus briefs should take their business elsewhere.  Wouldn’t want to sully their financial coffers with money from haters and racists.

Actually, much of the hate and violent speech utterances he claims to abhor should cause him to exclude any rappers and sailors, famously known for non decorous language.  In fact, German and Japanese speakers should be ostracized as well, since, well you know, the wars, 60 years ago.

This genius is likely the product of a modern liberal education which is 50% fluff and 75% made up stuff.  He likely has an undergraduate degree from the Romper Room school of business where hugs and naps are 3rd year courses and Holding Your Breath Until You Get Your Way are electives.  Today’s liberal colleges ( an oxymoron?) are the source of the snowflakes that eventually find their way to society at large.  Free thinking and love are prized at these schools, as long as you agree with them; or else you’re a hater.  The peacenik Che Guevera is still a hero to many of the peace/love set.

The Trump election has broken the crumbling dam holding back the sea of idiots and nutters that see themselves as the righteous and principled.   They caricature themselves with their faux piety and condescending superiority towards those that dare to have divergent worldviews.  It’s an eerie coincidence that they view themselves as the ones representing peace and tolerance….sound familiar? No, not Islamist militants; much worse than that.  They proudly refer to themselves as  liberals and progressives.  Often, these zealots can be found in the usual professions in which fantasy plays a big part: entertainment, journalism, college professors and students and of course politicians.   They are not usually found in business which requires common sense and judgement.

I’ve never even heard of this company, Grub Hub, or this Maloney guy before, but I can’t imagine that it would be a barrel of laughs to work there.  If the staff find it too stifling, they can always work for Kim Jong Un.  If the company doesn’t work out, he’ll probably have to go back to living in the safe spaces of his mom’s basement.
