Ukrainian publication pulls a boner
One of my trusted news sources for the Ukrainian side of the civil war posted news from a fake website which claimed that the People's Republic of Lugansk was planning to go to war with its sister republic, the Donetsk People's Republic for "poisoning the Lugansk water supply" with fluoride.

The tip was that the website included a quote from the US film "Doctor Strangelove:"

To wit:

"Bandits from the Donetsk People's Republic treacherously attacked our homeland without declaration of war, to wreak havoc, discord and undermine the centuries-old foundations of Lugansk, our cultural identity and precious body fluids."

The political leadership of Donetsk was not amused, and because of its current political turmoil, the Lugansk political leadership had nothing to say.

Home Front: Culture Wars
Sarah Hoyt: How to Deal with Leftist Turkeys on Gobbler Day
...Recently on Facebook, a friend asked us to list what we were thankful for, and he got the standard tight-lipped leftist reply: "Well, I guess I’m grateful my native ancestors weren’t killed or raped like so many others were."

This is typical leftist cant, talking about the plight of the "Native Americans." And it’s booshwa. There are so many errors packed in that sentence that it’s almost unbelievable. It starts with his "native ancestors," and no, we’re not going into the fact that to our knowledge no human beings evolved in America. We’re instead going with the fact that the native tribes were genetically swamped. So swamped that I think the amount of Amerindian DNA to be considered "Native American" is about 16 percent. Might be less.

...This is because ‐ second error ‐ Amerindian tribes weren’t cartoon Disney characters. They didn’t live in "harmony with nature" singing to the pretty flowers and animals. Sure, some Indian writings have catered to this, but that’s just proof they were thoroughly assimilated. The idea of the Indians as noble savages is a thing of French romanticism, not of any native culture.

Native cultures were much like tribal cultures anywhere, red in tomahawk and war band.

Yeah, lots of them were raped and killed ‐ by other tribes ‐ in more or less endless warfare long before the Europeans arrived.

That they were pretty thoroughly genetically swamped and culturally destroyed was not a particularly rare thing in history. It was a story repeated many times.

...Perhaps that’s why the left is, once again, going to war against Thanksgiving. Yes, yes, the poor lost Natives who sang to plants and frolicked with animals will be brought back from their graves to justify leftists’ hatred of every society that won’t hand them total power.

#1  My native American mother used to say that if her ancestors way back when had simply EATEN every single new arrival by ship from Europe, eventually they would have quit coming and colonization would never have happened. She got quite a laugh from the band members at that resort in Kauai when she told them that.
The conversation stopper to that tight-lipped leftist: that was the unfortunate outcome of the aboriginal open borders / no borders policy.

Mercer: How do you know America is a matriarchy?
[Barlely A Blog] UPDATED (11/20): State Of Sexual Hysteria Unique To Super Neurotic, Formerly Puritanical, Anglo-American Sphere Femenism, Gender, Left-Liberalsim, Media, Morality, Pop-Culture, Sex, The Zeitgeist.

How do you know America is a matriarchy? Today, November 19, is International Men’s Day, 2017, and what is being discussed non-stop on the Mad Hatter Media? Women’s complaints against men‐current complaints, past complaints, proven and unproven, possible future complaints, ethics committees to facilitate more complaints.

In years past, a token attempt at discussing "men’s health issues" would have been attempted on International Men’s Day. Now, with the help of men themselves, the day is devoted to vilifying The Male.
… the day has become something of a toxic punchline in a year filled with sexual assault allegations against major male figures — including President Donald Trump. It’s not been a banner year for men, as many in positions of power have been exposed as using that influence in cases of sexual harassment and assault. …

The country is becoming a farce, thanks to the dominance of unhinged females. Here’s a clue as to the uniquely American nature of the derangement: Other than in the UK, albeit to a lesser degree, where a similar kind of woman prevails, where in the world are nations wrestling with a manufactured crisis, elevated to a national level exclusively by women?

#3  Of course, if thirsty men didn't actively cooperate with this effort, most of the "girl power" would fade away.
