Racism, pure and simple
[NYPOST] At the very moment when the issue of race might at long last have been put to rest, it is now becoming the most important issue of all.

The decades since the 1960s saw the growth of "black studies" in American universities. The courses started out in part as a way of de-stigmatizing the group and educating people about a crucial aspect of their history.

But, just as a popular strand of feminism turned from celebrating women to vilifying men, a portion of black studies started attacking people who were not black. A discipline intended to de-stigmatize began to re-stigmatize. This has led to the growth of "whiteness studies" ‐ a discipline that is now taught at all of the Ivy League universities in the US.

#1  Invisible structures that maintain white supremacy

They study genetics?

#2  "whiteness studies" is "committed to disrupting racism by problematizing whiteness"

Fuck off.

#3  Whiteness = Western Civilization

...which includes Asian societies that have adopted successful Western Civ principles, methodologies and behaviors to raise their populations from poverty to higher global status. In other words, success as defined by 4000+ years of human history.

#4  Bring back overt, deliberate verbal and attitudinal prejudice against the people that deserve it, irrespective of their ethnicity or colour. Roll back political correctness and and all the politeness out of conversations in the public sphere.

#5  In other words, success as defined by 4000+ years of human history.

And that's defined by genetics

#6  Be on the lookout for the major motion picture release, "Weiss Süß" coming to a woke outlet near you.

#7  There are commercial and residential areas in India with signs that declare "No negros please." I also read of a case in Japan some years back where in court it was argued that property and business owners had every right to safeguard against loss due to theft, criminality and disease. And if they believed beyond doubt that a certain kind of person would endanger their patrons or goods, shops had every right to disallow entry to them.

The lessons on racial guilt, taught to white children and youngsters in schools and on TV, plus a clergy led by hollow academic 'reeds shaken with the wind' who value their tithes and bunco games more than the integrity of society - these have led to a weak-kneed white community that will lie down and be feasted upon by racist blacks and their federal protectors. The bravest thing they can do is to join reddit and complain of 'nigge®s making America a shithole'. Braver that that and they move to Wyoming. The whites of today are not racist. They are the most unassuming, guilt-ridden people, afraid of airing their own thoughts nowadays.

#8  Over the last few decades the left has slowly been defining
Success = White
Failure = Non-Asian Peoples of color
Forgotten = Asians who seem mostly invisible to the left

Thy didn't set out to do this but that's where their logic inevitably leads.

Green energy policies proliferating a ‘greenhouse gas' with ‘23,500 times more warming than CO2'
wouldn't surprise me a bit - the road to hell
[AmericanThinker] Global warming hysteria has driven a lot of stupid investment in purportedly "green" energy production that turns out to create new problems. Wind farms that kill millions of birds because migratory birds follow the same winds that are ideal for wind power, for instance. Bald eagles, normally illegal to kill in the United States, are allowed to be slaughtered by wind farms.

Then there are the massive lithium batteries needed for electric cars, full of toxic heavy metals, that pose a huge problem of disposal when they wear out after about ten years. And the solar energy farms that eat up vast acreage and incinerate passing birds with their "death rays."

But now the BBC focuses on yet another blowback from green energy policies: the allegedly super-duper, extra-special global warming gas sulfur hexaflouride, abbreviated as SF6, that is leaking into the atmosphere from electrical equipment, where it is used as an insulator, to prevent fires and explosions.

As more windmills, solar installations, and other decentralized energy production facilities supplement large coal- and other hydrocarbon-based electrical generating installations when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining, the amount of SF6-containing equipment is rising. Indeed, one of the interest group support bases for green energy projects consists of the electrical equipment manufacturing industry that realizes they can sell much more equipment because the green sources can’t be used all the tie and need to be supplemented by base load generators that are reliable because they depend on hydrocarbon fuels.

The BBC article that hypes the alleged global warming danger of S6 is classic of hysteria mongering. At the top, it shows a picture of icky orange-ish polluted air, even though SF6 and CO2 both are colorless and odorless. It never explains why SF6 is "23,500 times more warming than carbon dioxide (CO2)" but features plenty of graphics like these:
Image can be seen at the link.
And projections like this:

...the global installed base of SF6 is expected to grow by 75% by 2030.

Even worse, there is no available substitute for high voltage equipment:

For high-voltage applications, experts say there are very few solutions that have been rigorously tested.

"There is no real alternative that is proven," said Prof Manu Haddad from the school of engineering at Cardiff University.

"There are some that are being proposed now but to prove their operation over a long period of time is a risk that many companies don't want to take."

Warmists need an equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath: First do no harm. But of course, there is so much self-interested rent-seeking a work in the movement that such a pledge will never be taken.

#1  Electricity will of course be exempt from all environmental regulation as you can't run an iPhone or Tesla without it and all comsymp propaganda channels rely on teevee.
