Eeeeeyah. Micro-aggressions are anything that anyone who is looking to be offended by the tiniest thing will find – and it always is an offense against the Left’s ever-changing situational/ideological ethics/morality.

Another “Native American” Decides to Push His Tribe Into Obscurity for “Honor’s” Sake
I just bought two containers of Aunt Jemima syrup yesterday at Walmart. No, not that “rebranded out of fear of the PC Cancel crybabies” Pearl Milling Company version.
United Way was supposed to raise money for other charities, right? Guess what now…
The United Way was supposed to raise money for other charities, right? Not so much, not anymore. They’ve decided (at least in Illinois) that their job is our re-education on how race quotas should work, probably because we are all racists.
So about that “Defund the Police” Pledge – Try “Ill Conceived” Instead of “Falter”?
Many of us figured that the “Defund the Police” swooping fainting spell on the Left for “social justice” would collapse in on itself. All the rage against the rage.
So, White People are Racists Because OWNING DOGS!?
The Left gets stupider by the day – and then opens its Collective mouth to dispel all doubt. I’m going to put the entire post up so you can see the UTTER ridiculousness and wrongness.
More Nitwittery on the Minimum Wage; This Time from Mary Wilke of Concord
If YOU think employers should be paying a “living wage” by manipulating the minimum wage, go ahead and start your own company and pay MORE than that minimum wage. Go ahead, I dare you.
Unethical Leftist Mobs Wouldn’t Know Justice if it Fell on Them
I think it must now be clear to even the dullest wits that the activities of the “Social Justice Warriors” has nothing whatsoever to do with or any relationship to justice, no way, no how. It’s a cliche; a scam used to excuse excessive actions, even criminal behaviors by the unethical leftist mobs who wouldn’t know justice if it fell on them.
Gilford School Board: “They seem intent on making this happen irrespective of people’s concerns,” – Part 2

Blogline of the Day – I knew I was missing something describing the Left
From a discussion where a militant LGBT activist went all mental on a Conservative (“This deranged leftist and LGBT activist named Keaton Hill assaulted and threatened to kill @FJtheDeuce [Floyd Johnson II], a black conservative at Sacramento State. “) The masses of Social Justice Storm Troopers on Campus, and their divine Right of Kings approach to … Read more
I think this illustrates the Progressive SJW cognitive dissonance quite well
And throw in their hatred of anything smacking of the Christian religion, we have a winner! (H/T: Powerline)
Notable Quote – Andrew Sullivan
For many, especially the young, discovering a new meaning in the midst of the fallen world is thrilling. And social-justice ideology does everything a religion should. It offers an account of the whole: that human life and society and any kind of truth must be seen entirely as a function of social power structures, in which various groups have spent all of human existence oppressing other groups. And it provides a set of practices to resist and reverse this interlocking web of oppression — from regulating the workplace and policing the classroom to checking your own sin and even seeking to control language itself. I think of non-PC gaffes as the equivalent of old swear words. Like the puritans who were agape when someone said “goddamn,” the new faithful are scandalized when someone says something “problematic.” Another commonality of the zealot then and now: humorlessness.
SJWs – Holding student grades over a statue; er, about that Power Imbalance they keep yammering about?
It is the end of the semester; my students did their final semester project Presentation and last night I finished up with the giving them their final grades. One more “activity” done – six still left on the plate but this really will free up a lot of time (about a day to 2 days a week). Another month and one more will be done as well (but much less time has been spent on that this year). So, in surfing around, it looks like others are also tallying up their students’ grades – and one set of SJWs are looking to use their students’ grades as a political cudgel (translation: no boundaries in conducting political warfare and it doesn’t matter who they hurt; reformatted, emphasis mine):
Teaching assistants at the University of North Carolina have threatened to hold up to 2,200 grades if school officials do not reconsider their plan for the controversial “Silent Sam” statue. This past Monday, UNC officials announced the memorial to Confederate soldiers would be housed in a new campus facility. That evening, protesters took to the streets to voice their displeasure. On Friday, activists announced online that 79 teaching assistants had signed a petition in opposition to the Silent Sam plan, and indicated they would “withhold [the] grades” if Chancellor Carol Folt and the UNC Board of Trustees did not relent.
I believe that the operative word is extortion – and they should be legally treated as extortionists! All over the “Silent Sam” (an unknown Confederate soldier) statue that was toppled by student / SJW vandals because SLAVERY! Anything they deem to be “wrong” must be destroyed, erased, and thrown down the Memory Hole – not just put somewhere else.
Attributes of “you will be assimilated” Social Justice Warriors that can’t just leave well alone.
It’s like they feel they’re on a mission from God. Oh wait, they don’t believe in God, do they? OK, in their own minds, they ARE their own god.
We make sport of Social Justice Warriors all the time because, well, they make themselves easy targets. The problem is that they act in the typical Collectivist fashion – tick them off and they don’t just attack back but at the slightest slight, pre-determine that you must be destroyed. We’ve seen it, experienced it, and written about. They are the equivalent (yep, I’m about to break Godwin’s Law) of Societal Nazis – no dissent allowed, no apology accepted, and anything other than complete acceptance of their view is heresy.
The Right Geek has an interesting take between “Leftists” and SJWs and it is WAY more than just degree or intensity:
So what makes an SJW? What’s the difference, for me, between standard leftists and those I believe are clear and present dangers to me and mine? Quite simply, monstrous leftists do the following:
- They deny that truth is objective and universally accessible. They tell me, for example, that I can’t discuss race relations in the U.S. because I’m white — or that I can’t discuss the transgender issue because I’m “cis.”…
- They don’t respect boundaries. They block traffic, destroy property, harass and intimidate opponents…
- They’re censors.
- They magnify offense — and then respond with no sense of proportion. Unintentionally insensitive remarks or actions cannot be socially engineered out of existence…
It sounds like NH’s “Social Studies” is about to get “SJW watered down” again
Used to be called History and separately, civics. How did we get here from back then and how is American government supposed to be organized and run? Basic issues and basic knowledgebases for any American citizen. Sadly, our government schools seem to be a poor job of both – after all, ask a young adult the same question we require of LEGAL immigrants wishing to become naturalized Citizens and be prepared for a very dismal experience. So when I saw this (emphasis mine, reformatted):
NH in process of revamping social studies curriculum
EXETER — The state of New Hampshire’s educational standards for social studies has not been updated since 2006 but with a review from the Department of Education underway, local school administrators and community leaders are beginning to line up to help shape its process.
I went “It’s really gonna get addressed! Yay!”. Then I went back and reread that “community leaders” bit again. Sorry I did that….sigh….
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo and just to tick off the Precious SJW Snowflakes at UNH…

Blogline of the Day – when they act like spoiled brats, TREAT them as such
NEWS YOU CAN USE: How to Rein In Student Mobs. “At NYU, administrators threatened the protesters’ financial aid, and the woke warriors went back to their rooms.” It’s about time that the adults in the room actually act like adults because the kids refuse to become adults and act accordingly.

SJW’s Target Father’s Day
Kevin Kervick joins us to talk about the latest hateful atrocity destined to be ushered out of style by the Social Justice warriors, Father’s Day. It’s unfair to people without fathers and has to go.
