The @ginacarano fiasco runs deep. Very deep. What’s obscured by the borg (in part b/c old televisual peeps trying to double down & not tell talent what the true #s are) is that she is an underrated and in truth extremely popular star of most watched FAMILY entertainment show.
She checks all the supposed check boxes for the identity politics bullshit crowd in terms of women and feminist hollow tropes (beautiful but relatable and kick ass) but doesn’t fit or agree with their narrative.
And she was canceled for using their own overused tropes that she used far more prudently than they all do—including the mostly masked primary star of the show she was on...
And then they cancel her for the EXACT reasons she was warning about in the tweets they canceled her for.

Put this in context of the high power ranking of corrupted and evil woke and useful-to-elites Disney for our cultural overlords and you have the perfect storm. Revelatory.
Regardless of the weak cognition of elite minds, this whole episode is one of many emerging markers or touch-points of the new dynamic and political war or revolution that is now unfolding throughout the west—with America as the tip of the spear.

The crazy thing about living through a regime change like this one is the combination of *denial* along with the increasing explicit justifications for oppression. The history books don’t tell you about all the people in willful denial as things escalated—who let it happen.
What keeps happening, over and over, are incidents with obvious parallels that reveal the nature of The Party now attempting to take complete control over America. To point out the obvious about it is to be fired and publicly reviled like @ginacarano.
Meanwhile, of course they can say the same about their opponents. That’s the point of all this: “we can protest & riot w/impunity—you cannot.” Only The Party can make Nazi references. Etc. But if you aren’t a member of The Party & in denial, at this point I assume it’s willful.

I don't pretend to know much about the mysteries, but it seems to me that there are two underlying and extreme premises in our debates about identity and gender, and they contradict each other, and all sides in some respect argue from both premises when it suits them.
On 1 hand, people argue as if each person is their own snowflake, w/their particular shade of whatever, hardened & solidified forever, & utterly unique, upon various spectrums or on one side or another of a binary, & they are wut they are & this cannot be changed much, if at all.
On other hand, people argue as if each person is pure potency, able to will into existence or choose whatever shade of whatever they desire to desire/become, w/no real constraints upon what they are since what they are is will/potential alone, open to infinite changes & choosing.

Political history is generally one, big cluster-F for all peoples. That used to be a big part of the point of learning it. So much of the insane and puritanical gibberish of the ongoing cultural revolution is born of deep historical ignorance, whatever it’s proponents claim.
If we wanted to go back in any history for 400 years and start assigning blame to descendants for the sins of the past...lol...the entire world would be at war. This is obvious. But, sadly, not to today’s blinkered ideologues. Who really know no history in this broader sense.
Reason it helps to study history outside one’s own is to allow one to see the traces of meta-history, or human nature and political life itself: replete as it is with similar tides and evils. We’ve robbed students of this. We’ve robbed elites of this. Now we get what we paid for.

NYT drama reads like a moronic parody TV show and I couldn’t care less in some ways. But perhaps we should care. Because while it deserves to implode this sort of work tribunal justice is now equipping itself with the power of the state.

Q takes psychological hold for the same reason that so many at the top are in deep pathological denial about what's happening to America now daily. It's hard to fathom. It's very painful to process & acknowledge America as you knew it is gone. People mentally retreat instead.
The American Mind today: people in the grip of revolutionary madness increasingly yammering about brutally punishing half their fellow citizenry, whom they hate, and others in a daze, clinging to the idea that none of this is or will or can be victorious...
Then we have leaders either cowed or in denial, unwilling to stand up to the top-down revolution that is almost complete and has begun firmly establishing a one party national state in which corporations, military, educational system, and entertainment complex work as one...

One possible silver lining is how many people, having never met a master bureaucrat operating at God-level, take a long time to realize what a slippery continuously calibrating eel of a man Fauci is. At this point in his life he makes it look easy b/c it’s all 2nd nature now.
These types constantly lie undetected by normal people, saying whatever they need to without any qualms. They can change in plain sight with absolute conviction since they have no shame and have long since lost the ability to comprehend why others would object.
Fauci doesn’t need to plot and plan and think through his rhetoric as a normal person would assume. He just does what he does by well-honed instinct, reading the scene as if by radar or the way an electric eel senses its surroundings and reacting accordingly.
