Whether protesting Israel’s incursion into Gaza or CO2’s incursion into the atmosphere, today’s SJWs are neutered, conformist, juvenile and intellectually-challenged
The other day, while scrolling through the recent work of many photojournalist friends, I realized something. The lefty protestors of the last several years are really, genuinely ugly, and they seem to want to be. Of course that’s not everything, as you say in this essay, but it’s really striking how utterly lacking the entire 2020s progressive movement is in anything even approaching an aesthetic sensibility. One might think they at least would think to sell themselves on looking cool? Apparently not
So agree. And the more zealous, the less aesthetically pleasing. I’m getting heat for, as one reader put it, “giving fashion advice to people with humanity.” It’s not meant to be bitchy, but rather—what’s the word—“helpful”… doesn’t sound exactly right. It’s just… where does your life lead when you’re part of a bedraggled mob. I’m guessing ‘nowhere good.’ It’s such a jungle out there. It’s not the 80s anymore. Also, what’s wrong with beauty?
“People with humanity” hahahahaha. These idiots are the quintessential examples of “lack of humanity.” How about they go out, get a job, and produce something. It’s easy to destroy things, any inhumane idiot can do so. Very hard to build something - it takes hard work, commitment, patience and all the other virtues that these losers lack. These young adults are anti-human: climate change, Palestine (terrorist), censorship, etc. I hope they see the light at some point, but judging by one of your readers comments, not all find common sense and decency.
It’s almost creepy how you can predict where they’ll land on any given issue. Like Greta Thunberg. It’s hard-coded into her programming. It’s all fake humanity and people who empathize with their fake humanity don’t care about these zoomers at all. If they cared, they’d tell them to do the things that statistically make people happy. Spoiler alert: the list doesn’t include trespassing, sleeping in a tent and getting expelled.
Always ridiculous, because it’s not fashion advice. The way they present themselves is directly related to the effects of their actions and the work they do. Political protestors make every space they enter disgusting. The environmentalist ones dream of sprawling cities and equally expansive fields of metallic panels or gargantuan imposing windmills to power them. Social issue weirdos go out of their way to present themselves as freaks (and proudly claim the term). It seems to suggest that what’s wrong with beauty, for them, is that it simply is not compatible with their ideology or worldview. And yet reality, the created world, human life is beautiful. One then wonders why they’re afraid of the term.
Antifa, the most extreme among them, are absolutely filthy beasts. I read an account of an apostate who hung out in an Antifa flophouse in Seattle. While getting the tour, he was informed that a “sex worker” occupied one of the rooms and asked really aggressively if he had any objection to her plying her trade there. There’s also this ex SJW on Twitter who did a full reversion to normal… she was fat, blue-haired, septum ring, street urchin clothes, the works. This look got her so much validation on social media from her peers. When she grew her hair, restored its normal colour, got fit, lost the hideous piercings, she got nothing but hate. It kind of makes me shudder a little to think about it. Something very diabolical there.
They have no humanity. Their outward appearance actually perfectly personifies the ugliness with which they are inside. Supporting hamas is NOT a humanitarian or just cause. It's evil.
Homeliness isn't merely an oddly incidental correlation with Leftism; it's a feature. For decades I've noticed that I normally cringe when I see a progressive woman. And this led me to wander into believing in a "cause and effect" where leftists and physical attractiveness are concerned.
It seems to me that around the time an adolescent hits puberty she begins to engage in rigorous self-assessment vis a vis her physical appearance. And as any man knows from experience, women are, as a general proposition, merciless critics of themselves. And at the age of 13 or 14, when they hate what they see in the mirror, a good deal of them (thankfully) take comfort in knowing that a few more years will solve everything but the rest just give up and decide, then and there, to be resentful and bitter about the unfortunate genetic hand they've been dealt. And that bitterness metastasizes into a loathing of anything good, anything lovely, and anything that works.
Sound familiar? That bitterness, that desire to destroy everything which appears beautiful or attractive to others, explains why the Left, dominated by women, is a movement whose overarching goal is essentially destruction.
Leftism never offers attainable or remotely coherent solutions to the problems inherent in mortal existence. They have none.
They don't know where to even begin after successfully destroying that which, in spite of its flaws, once functioned. The history of the 20th century is scattered with the global Left's debris.
I know this is a rather robust generalization, and there are plenty of outliers to all generalizations. But I can't think of any other reason why Leftists are far less attractive than conservatives.
Decades of unhappiness and righteous anger are hard on the body, the soul and the mind.
It’s kind of depressing as you describe it. But I think it’s true. I used to be a leftist and though I like to attribute many reasons for what red-pilled me, I think the beauty of things snapped me out of it more than anything. Being on the left made it feel like you weren’t supposed to experience or appreciate beauty.
Who raised these alpha hotels, and paid $100k a year to have them attend these bogus elite schools. They are cesspool of Newthink.” Ugh I prey for a return to normalcy. NGIM, I’m afraid.
The “Acquarian Generation” had the draft, the win-less Viet Nam war, couldn’t vote til 21, etc. Also extremely creative, especially musically. Give these wussies the same - draft them all, every last 58 genders, to Gaza and Ukraine and don’t let them vote until age 21.
Don’t use the proper spelling of that word as perjorative. It take a pounding, stretches immensely to give birth and still functions as designed. Just sayin
Thanks for this clever and acerbic post. You've ID'd the ridiculousness of this perfectly. Unfortunately, there are two issues: 1) Parents still want their kids to have the cache of a piece of paper from one of these stupid places. Until everyone wants to go to UNC-Chapel Hill (read - until these poison Ivies start really losing money or Qatar stops funding them) the administrators won't grow a set; 2) Many adults (professors, journalists etc.) want kids to like them and want to be seen as cool so they repeat the same foolishness. They scream the word "Zionist" using swear words as adjectives, adverbs and nouns. It brings no one to the negotiating table, it brings no cease-fire. It brings no resolution. It only brings more anger which means more people will get killed on both sides. And thusly we are more polarized again.
You are so right! My teenager is starting his carpentry apprenticeship straight out of high school and my husband still has all kinds of reservations. He can’t get out of this 20th century mindset that everyone has to go to college. He’ll be making 60 k a year for the first year with no tuition fees. They literally buy his boots!
Your son can take his paid-for car to his tax supported library to check out books in all of the important subjects they used to discuss in college. He can settle in to his paid-for house, by his paid-for fireplace and when he decides he'd like to go out to dinner, he can get waited on by someone who has a gender studies degree from Harvard.😂 Bravo for your son.
PS - I forgot...he won't come home screaming that the two of you are horrible hetero-normative, white 'conservatives'. He might also have a real shot at the end of 6 or 7 years to be smart enough to run his own construction company because he will have real skills that people want to pay for.
It really feels like the right call. Not one of his friends have any idea what’s next. They’re all taking a gap year. His particular program actually pays him to learn and I keep wondering why I didn’t do the same back then… all I did was accumulate debt. Different times I guess.
If your son is smart enough to do that, he doesn't need college. It is corrosive to the mind. And the world will ALWAYS need good carpenters. I'm sure you're proud of him. 😊
I’m a sad clown! LOL… laugh to keep from crying. Because it really is sad. They’ve been hypnotized by a toxic dogma and they’ll all wake up one day in a stew of regret.
Lastly, as Ben Franklin said, “eat to please thyself, dress to please others.” That second point is lost on these fools, and pretty much everybody these days, as I sit here in an airport terminal looking around at my fellow journeyfolks.
I haven't been in an airport or flown since Spring 2019. I imagine what you're describing re: fellow travelers is what I experience visiting my local Wally-world: fat women (any race) with indecipherable tattoos (from a safe distance) revealed by the bare minimum in clothing, i. e. tank tops revealing bra straps and short, crotch-grabbing shorts or fuzzy black leggings. Hair pulled back in a knot. Usually, there is a small child with the person, looking appropriately childlike. I wonder, does the mother dress like this when she goes into school for a teacher's conference?
There’s all this, yes. Another travel trend is younger women in skin-tight spandex body suits. I don’t get it at all. I’ve also seen men and women in matching track suits, which is kinda funny. Me, still old school, still dress up a little 🤷♀️
My only minor quibble is with the Aquarian generation. They definitely had some radicals with panache! More than now, no doubt
But when you really look back at the film there were a lot of dirty sleaze-o's around then too. As then Governor Reagan said "A hippie is someone who looks like Tarzan, walks like Jane, and smells like Cheetah." Whatever you think about him otherwise he was right on that (imho).
My fave movie of the past 5 yrs. I'm 79 yrs old, was a Navy wife -- yes, that's what we were called before the Navy went co-ed on the ships -- and remember that "era" (sorry, Taylor Swift) like it was yesterday. So glad I was young then and not today.
I literally just saw it and actually I kinda couldn't believe the hippie bashing. I mean, I'm all for it. But I wasn't expecting it. When DiCaprio kept insulting them my wife kept saying "Omg that's you."
(I was kinda "meh" on the movie as a whole. It was ok but it never really felt like it clicked, to me. But I may have gone in with too high expectations.)
I got caught up in the backstory… which was Manson pimping underage girls to hotshot directors. New divorce laws had led to a spate of divorce laws and ripped all these nuclear families apart. The fallout was these young runaways pouring into Hollywood and parasite men hanging around bus stations, waiting to exploit them. Which is what made Brad Pitt’s character so great.
Semi tangential but about 60's radical on the other coast, in NYC: There's a book called "Please Kill Me" the main story of which is a punk rock oral history. But I mention it because it starts in the late 60's as all these future New York Dolls and Ramones and stuff are bumming around NYC and the utter collapse the hippies participate in. Basically how quickly Turn on and Free Love became "Get your hands off my heroin and my woman but I'll entertain selling either." Anyway you might want to check it out sometime. Especially if you like the music. If not, the social history in the first quarter or so of the book is interesting.
Wow thanks for the confidence! Whether you agree with my sociopolitical analysis or not (and I know I'm a weirdo) it's a must read if you like American punk. 😀
Holy shit this is amazing. Although I was in high school when my Walkman played “Meat is Murder” on repeat…… PETA and WDF stickers peppering my locker….. and meat is indeed murder…. Sweet, delicious murder😉
Standing up to the dimwittery is a terror threat and new laws are continually being made daily to enforced and quash the sane. If we don’t stand up to this insanity we will become like the nation of Iranians who have been controlled for decades by a corrupt illegitimate government. We are already in a chokehold by our so called Democracies who accuse those that do stand against them as anti Democracy. Yes 1984 in 2024. Orwell was an armed pro communist fighter who woke up and warned us what was to come.
Yes. And further to that, someone said iPad ad was like a bookend on the original 1984 ad, conceived with Jobs in charge. That ad encouraged independent, creative thinking. This ad is the opposite. It says ‘crush independent thinking’ and ‘you don’t need anything… just us.’ Very Stalinist/Marxist in the vein of ‘you only need the state.’ It raises my blood pressure just thinking about it. Jobs would have fired whoever came to him with the idea. Never would have been shipped.
This is why our primary goal should be to reanimate sabertooth tigers. Imagine for a moment a couple of saber tooth’s freely roaming around campus. They’d clean things up quick! Who has time to worry about pronouns and saving “Palastine” when you’re being stalked by a sabertooth?
Am so thrilled to read your words which have articulated my almost exact thoughts and feelings on this whole debacle. Their parents must be so proud! They should try 48 hours in the Middle East (insert country of choice) and most would be arrested or thrown from a tall building. Why this particular fight when the plight of Muslims in China has not even caused a murmur of protest. Definitely money behind this and see before long it will be sharia law and oppression for all. We have been warned yet no one cares. Am frightened for the future of my kids I really am. Main stream media and it’s so far over to the left i cannot and will not read their newspapers or watch their channels ever again. Thanks for the article and also all the great comments from you guys and look forward to many more discussions. Uk reader
This is also international, particularly in the UK. The internet is the vehicle for the Marxist subversives but who is coordinating and financing this?
The usual suspects… Soros, Rockefeller, guilt-ridden scions of mass fortunes like Eileen Getty and Rory Kennedy, Davos flunkies, clueless obscenely tech rich woke tech nerds and small donor Karens with cats!
Don't leave out China and Qatar. China is behind a lot of the insanity going on in this country. They aim to destroy us in a "people's war" against America.

Wrong, Cape. 64 genders. At least in California, New York and Illinois. 58? That would be Colorado.

***heart singing*** how much do I owe you? 😂
Just keep writing! :-)
You forgot “white nationalist” and “populist breeders” lol! Great comment Amusings!
VERY intelligent decision for this young man's future, Liz!!! Carpentry is the best of the best🎯🔨👍
It really feels like the right call. Not one of his friends have any idea what’s next. They’re all taking a gap year. His particular program actually pays him to learn and I keep wondering why I didn’t do the same back then… all I did was accumulate debt. Different times I guess.
Wonderful idea. He will actually be productive and truly creative!
Good lad.

😂 thank you for appreciating that one! Was worried most skipped over it!
I’m still laughing! This is the best commentary on the “lost children” I’ve read.
Of course, for my sanity, I’m not going too deeply; contemplating the future of our republic, lest I weep and slip into despair.
I’m the same… laugh to keep from crying. Like giant misspelt graffiti (Palastine… 😂 😭 😂 😭? Which one? 🤷♀️).
