Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

'The New Girl Disorder - Why are young women so prominent in anti-Israel protests?'
A good portion of them are White women, who tend to be as passive as they are malleable. They'll be voting in droves for Heels-up Harris come November. re The new Girl Disorder
It's a long, but rather interesting read where the author attempts to explain what makes these women tick. It's always useful to understand how people think to learn why they act the way they do. This is not complex. The left uses females because the female can get away with so much more than a male could. They can assault and if someone defends themselves then "they" attacked a woman. They can actively or passively resist the police and the police will in most cases be stymied because they are unwilling to use force against a woman. If you watch confrontations between a radical female protestor(s) and bystanders if it comes to pushes and shoves the left has placed what amounts to larger male bodyguards to step in under the guise that you can't hit/defend against a woman. So the bottom line is these woman are recruited and trained to do exactly what they do with the hope that a confrontation results where the "misogyny" card can be played.
Interestingly in Europe where pickpockets run rampant this exact same technique is used. I.e. two or three women will be the pickpockets but if you were to actually catch one with their hand in your pocket one or two male "bystanders" will quickly intervene such that the pickpocket can escape because "you" were picking on a female. I agree that their prominence in the protests is largely tactical. But looking at why they are even interested in the first place is worth considering. Perhaps prominence is the draw for some.
Perhaps prominence is the draw for some.
Indeed AVI. That is the insight I am looking for from you. I imagine you are better equipped to speculate as to what motivates their tiny brains than most of us. Politics and ignorance aside, there must be some innate need(s) that motivate these people to gravitate to certain sides of some issues and not others, and that intrigues me. More Agency Weaponization? Secret Service Tells Trump To Stop Having Outdoor Rallies
Yeah that ought to stop the assassination attempts. Sounds like the SS has no intention of fixing their shortcomings, if that is their advice to Trump. And then there is the political angle: QUOTE: The Secret Service's recommendation undermines a cornerstone of Trump campaign culture. Trump fans have turned his sprawling outdoor rallies into daylong parties complete with tailgate barbecues, merchants selling Trump-branded gear, and vehicles decorated in tribute to the former president. Thousands who can't get into the rally itself are content to soak up the festive atmosphere in the immediate vicinity. The rallies often provide stunning visual indicators of Trump's support, serving as campaign ads in and of themselves. . . .nixing outdoor rallies will hit the Trump campaign squarely in the checkbook, since it's much more expensive to rent a major indoor arena than an exurban fairground like the Butler Farm Show grounds. Smaller venues cost less, but give far fewer fans the opportunity to attend. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pathetic-prescription-secret-service-tells-trump-stop-having-outdoor-rallies BREAKING: President Donald Trump will no longer hold outdoor rallies like this one in Wildwood, NJ which drew 100,000 patriots! Biden’s Secret Service almost got Trump killed and they can’t guarantee Trump’s safety. Sad day in America when the Commies get their way. pic.twitter.com/FGTSf4zhK8 With all the strange "coincidences" around the Trump attempted assassination this one is odd. CNN never lives streams a Trump rally. But they did for this minor small rally in a small town. Reminds me when the cops showed up at 5 AM to arrest Roger Stone that the media was informed and ready to watch him perp walked. Who alerted CNN that this was going to be something worth live streaming? What did they know and when did they know it?
If anyone had ever made an assassination attempt on Obama, the media would still be harping on it years later. As it is, they're trying to bury the attempt on Trump.
By now you have heard that a NGO tracked the shooter to an FBI office about a year ago. I'm sure there is a lot to that story that we will never hear. But think about how they tracked him. What the NGO did was bought cell phone data from the cell phone companies. Who he called all the Geo data that phones track etc. It is all available for a price. Someone, anyone could buy everything your cell phone knows about you for the last 5-10 years and do what they want with it. But what they aren't saying is that NSA and a few other alphabet agencies get all that data on everyone and they don't even pay for it. Did you go to your mom's house for dinner Sunday? They know it. Did you call the pizza place for delivery? They know it. Did you call someone under federal investigation? Yeah, they know that too and now you are on a watch list. Oh yeah they are reading your emails, your posts online (like this one) and can see everything you saved or updated to your computer in the last 12 months. But they can't stop a little boy shooter from trying to kill Trump.
Excellent question! This divining the intent of the perpetrator of any crime has reached ridiculous proportions.
America's "hate crimes" laws have institutionalized this habit. A man kills another man, and immediately an entire industry jumps into action in a subjective orgy of speculation that dwells on superficial clues like partisanship, systemic miasmas like "racism," and whimsical social media posts, and then these infirm speculations influence the prosecution of the crime. The whale probably hit the boat by accident during a feeding breach, and the boatmen were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. No need to plumb the whale's feelings and prejudices with our febrile imaginations at all. |
