This really started a couple years ago, but this year just amped it up. There was that guy in Central Park that said he was going to kill that woman's dog and then recorded her reaction to make her look racist. Of course, none of these organizations I've supported mention his facebook posting where he says he threatened her dog then hit record. No, they say "This poor BIPOC [wtf???] was trying to bird watch when a white woman weaponized her white privilege with the police. That's an actual quote.
Every article now has to throw in something about oppressing minorities. I was reading one about this spot in New Mexico that was going to be turned into an asphalt factory. The Fish & Wildlife Service bought it, and turned it into a huge park, preserving the surrounding neighborhood and sparing them from having to deal with...you know...an asphalt factory. You think this article would be congratulating the FWS right? Nope. They said "while it's nice that the FWS bought the land, it IS run by a government agency and with that comes the history and legacy of opression, racism, and genocide of minorities". Because minorities all have 100% awareness about what government branch owns the land they walk on with each step of their days, or something. Or maybe they can see some border around those lands that white people can't, and they know if they cross that border they'll be double-genocided 2K20 360 no-scoped. I'm being facetious, but you get the point.
Then there's a movement to rename bird species because some are named after white people from 200 years ago. So those people must be racists. Not only that, but because they're named after these racist white men, it makes black people not want to go birding. I guess because black people have a tome that contains the name of every single white person that's racist from 200 years ago. So when they decide they want to try bird-watching, they go to the tome and are saddened to see that many birds are named after registered racists, and they give up their new hobby. Seriously, I don't even know who half the people are that birds are named after, but these organizations imply that blacks have a full compendium of knowledge on these individuals and their racist pasts.
Sorry for the rant, but this has been really disheartening. I used to donate heavily to these organizations, without any stipulation as to where the money goes. Lately I've been forced to specify that it is to be used for land acquisition, restoration, or bird rehabilitation/rescue only.
It's called a culture war for a reason. Study China's revolution, the same shaming tactics used there and being used on us.
and if we don't fight back as hard as we can, our fate will be the same as that of Hong Kong
Be shameless, folks.
There is no such thing as going “too low” when dealing with a “liberal”.
I think Shelby Steele's perspective on this issue is outstanding: https://youtu.be/HF3VaJdConY
I stumbled across him a couple of months back and have since wondered why I hadn't heard of him before.
Let's all be honest for moment..... Seeing a white man with binoculars in the bushes is "strange".... seeing a black man with binoculars in the bushes is___________.

All infiltrated with low effort leftist BS.
And don't get me started on that 'if you put DnD races on a spectrum, the darker ones are more evil' nonsense bullshit.
Or the fact that Drow have no reason for existing
I have a friend who plays in another group with an SJW. He says that she has single handedly ruined the entire campaign, and it's pretty much died off cause of lack of interest. Those people ruin everything they touch.
It’s like a reverse Midas Touch.

Seconding the video games. I remember they just used to be fun. Now the whole AAA video game industry (with the possible exception of Nintendo) is being used to push the leftist agenda. Always gotta check the boxes for a black character, a female character, a gay character, etc. And they're not allowed to be flawed characters either, they have to be perfect Mary Sues. Heroic and good straight white male characters are becoming incredibly rare. It's much more likely they'll be the bad guys in a thinly veiled expy of nazis. Bonus points for having the bad guys' leader be a mockery of Trump in some way.
Thank God for the indie market. Indie games are much better anyway, as one can find good games that aren't crammed chock full of lootbox nonsense, but that's a rant for another day.
Ubisoft has a message now that appears as you open every game since Black Flag that says, This game has been developed by multiracial group of lgbtfyada yada.
Great, thanks for virtual signaling!
Ubisoft has been on my boycott list for a while now.
Far Cry 5 ended up being unintentionally based though, which was great considering how all the lefties were initially hyped for it thinking it was going to be Republican Murder Simulator
They've been doing that since Assassin's Creed 1 actually
Ugh. I did not know that. Odyssey was my first AC game, then I went backwards to Origins and BF.
Have you seen Animal Crossing? It's pure leftist wacko land. You're all a bunch of furries living on an island picking it up and cleaning it to pay off rent to your local Fief, with no relief, no end in sight, and the rents just keep going up, up, up.
It's conditioning people for eco-paganism and no longer owning private property. This ties directly into the Great Reset, where "you will own no private property, and you will be happy".
ALL the things you grew up loving have been compromised by a creeping leftist totalitarianism that will just keep pushing you into a smaller and smaller space mentally and physically.
I haven't played Animal Crossing. That's unfortunate to hear. I had hoped that Nintendo, being a Japanese company, wouldn't follow the same path that so many major video game companies here in the US have.
I think you reading into that too much. The people are animals because it's a cutesy little game for kids, and you DO eventually pay off the debt you start with if you work hard enough (you know, like a mortgage?)
Spez: they did make a point in the later games to let you be able to cross dress your character and encourage you to do it, so it's not perfect
We just wanted to be left alone to our hobbies without being preached at. Little did we know that we’d have to elect Trump to do so.
This was a huge redpill for me. I've always been more right-leaning than most people my age, but even up into my mid-20s I just wanted to be left alone to play my games and enjoy my hobbies. The left wouldn't leave me alone though, and has actively shit up everything I used to enjoy. Trying to go back to my roots a bit now and take up things they'd never touch like hunting/fishing
It's soft totalitarianism. When politics creeps into every area of your life (your list didn't include sports, movies, books, comic books, and almost any other hobby except marksmanship), you are living in a totalitarian state. Our movements and our thoughts are being channeled, limited, manipulated, programmed, and controlled.
so sad.. programming used to be a great vocation with a great community. our passion for our craft trumped everything else and brought us together. now I'm being force-lectured about how the C++ community is racist and not inclusive enough, bitch please..
MaSteR-sLavE iS RaSisT!
I read a lot of comic books and it was always filled with nerds but the left has completely taken it over now and its just awful.
Give ethan van scyver, Richard C Meyer, and Doug Tenaple a look. Alternative comics are being printed by them. It ain't marvel but they still remember the heart of what comics are supposed to be.
I knit. The biggest website for knitters (ravelry.com) is run by Casey Forbes, a dude who has declared himself to now be Cassidy. Over a year ago this jerk declared that all Trump supporters are "racist" and consequently not welcome on "his" website. Your loss, loser.
I know. I've moved to the conservative knitting community on MeWe. We talk a lot about Trump and politics, and also on how to find alternative sources for patterns.
Check out fiberkind. They started after Casey booted everything Trump out of Ravelry. fiberkind
Thank you so much for the info!
You will like the folks on fiberkind. Good people.
thank you!
I was so happy to find MeWe.
The Unraveled group(s) are fun.
What up, my knitta?
This happened around the same time that Reddit quarantined TD. I hear Cassidy had some sort of meltdown and can no longer engage with people. I guess that's what happens when you're a married father of two that gets positive affirmation for your mental illness.
Yes, Jessica at one point said that "Cassidy" was "very sorry" for some nasty communications "she" had had with Rav fans, and as a result "she" was not allowed to post anymore. Lunatic time.
We need to bring back insane asylums.
Oh right! It was when people started complaining that the redesign of the site was causing migrains and seizures. Cassidy was then accused of being non-inclusive for not responding and uncaring. That was rather delicious lol.
Well, there's no dealing with a madman. Spez is right: we need to bring back insane asylums.
I run in similar circles, I heard about this.
They've ruined everything
They really do, everything they touch.
Funny story, I wrote prior about how I am into paper crafting and the #BLM hysteria that converged upon my hobby. Well, one of the top influencers in the industry started a campaign of having everyone make sympathy cards for George Floyd's family and thank you cards for his attorney, Benjamin Crump.
The same suckers who fell for the #BLM crap are the mask Nazi's as well.
You have to laugh to keep from crying.
The Sierra Club used to be a simple hiking club that built trails...before the authoritarian leftist retards took over. True story.
DUDE. Did you get inundated with their Green New Deal spam about 18 months ago? I unsubscribed, told them I would never donate again.
Nope. My grandfather was a member in the 30's to the 50's, and was bitter at what they turned in to. His vacations were taken up with trail construction and or maintenance.
The Sierra Club is an agenda 21 organization that abuses the NEPA process to prevent development or the redevelopment of....ANYTHING. Any lawsuit over a highway, a dam, housing, pipeline, hell, even a damn park, has the Sierra Club leading the way.
Star Wars...
My game collecting and 3D print communities now ask to label your ethnicity to prioritize marginalized voices.
Cycling/Mtb - Strava decided it was a political platform instead of a workout app and sent out some BS during the riots about social justice and racial crap. Why can't companies stay in their lane and not make absolutely everything about retarded leftist thought control when they have absolutely nothing to do with anything political whatsoever. So infuriating.
Just wondering: Does anyone else fast forward when GCN starts covering women's cycling?
I use strava for running. I noticed the running community getting the same way but must have missed the strava message. Fuck it. I'll find some other tracking app.
I write. Somehow my stories have gone from readable to racist in less than a year. I guess I'm writing for myself from now on.
Ignore the bitchass posters and pay attention to what sells. These fuckers pirate everything anyway.
Also, lose Amazon and sell on your own platform if at all possible.
I'm a writer too, but I give everything away free to work up to bigger sales. I love constructive criticism, but anyone who comments about SJW shit will get the boot from my community. I dont want their business.
There's about to be a huge market for your work. Consider advertising: "For white men only." LOL
The knitting communities have been overrun with this too. I just want to have a place to talk about a shared hobby, not constantly be told that my skin color is the reason for all society’s problems. In KNITTING.
Our craft (knitting, crocheting, whatever) is where we go to get AWAY from that shit. Or, it used to be.
But Beethoven was black!
It's not racist. It was all written by african Amer.........african europ........ African russi.......oh fuck it, I give up.
Doesn't matter what limits you put on how your donations are to be used, they'll ignore them, cheat, and lie about it. It's all part of the Leftist disease. They just claim they're doing for the greater good that your 'false consciousness' prevents you from seeing. Don't fund them; they'll get generous grants from your taxes anyhow!
Imagine if you brought up how certain birds, such as magpies and crows, are genetically similar to the point of being capable to interbreed but are still their own distinct groups and extrapolate the same thing for humans.
hahahhahahahaha oh man I'm definitely doing this
I do paper crafting, mainly make cards. I also created a card making FB group that currently has over 35K members. It's a huge industry. We just went through the whole great #BLM fiasco and had influencers feeling so guilty for not highlighting black people in the industry and also companies not including black images and "black sayings" on their stamps (think rubber or clear stamps with images that you stamp onto cardstock with ink to make cards), that they all went over board and made fools out of themselves. It was embarrassing. It was like mass hysteria with people accusing others of not supporting black artist and then having YouTube videos made by some gossiping about others. It was insane.
It totally overshadowed the black women we already had in the industry that were very much a part of the industry and were admired for their art vs the color of their skin.
--Julius Evola
It’s sad, low energy, left wing, fun sponges destroying every hobby they touch. From comic books to bird watching to Dungeons & Dragons to judo, they try and take over everything and make it conform to whatever the hell they have decided they need to force onto society that week. Sick individuals.
I like that.
I listen to a variety of podcasts covering the game and film industries as well as conservation and zoology. They've all be hit by woke BS. Same thing at work. I asked a designer for some samples and everything they showed me was minority based bc "that's trendy" right now. I really can't stand it anymore. Is there anywhere I can turn that hasn't been infected?
Argh. It's awful to hear. Wish we had more voices in conservation. I think it's one of the best ways to redpill the younger generation.
Hahahahah aha hahhahah hahahaha.
Welcome my friend. Welcome to clown world.
They've ruined everything. Everything. You can't enjoy anything now.
Don't worry, there's hope, but it'll only come when we destroy the left and the entire liberal democratic tradition.

Start from there and follow the rabbit hole.
It's cyclical. You know, Osiris and Set and all that.
To be honest, the only hope is Russia. There, I said it. Not saying Russia is anything great now, but it has its religion, it has an ethnic history, and it has almost enough firepower to stand up to the corrupt and decadent west.
Robert Conquest’s Three Laws of Politics:
Conquest's second law is always true.
Hell, even half of explicitly right-wing organizations become left-wing. Got a good anecdote on #3?

Not much there on the third, but I found this: https://riposter.net/2019/09/11/part-11-conquests-3rd-law/
I play poker a lot. With mandatory masks, the game is dead. You can't talk while playing. Can't read any tells. 90% of the fun is gone.
lol..
Poker has put on masks?! LOL. Talk about a poker face.
Churches.
This has been three largest face slap for me. The teachings contained in the Bible (or even other religious texts) do not jive with the Marxist ideals.
Renaming shit is an awful waste of time. Pseudointellectual bullshit. 80IQ leftists should have control over nothing.
Bodybuilding will remain safe for the long-term.
Motorcycles and guns are still largely people who value freedom. During the start of the lockdowns it felt like it was only bikes out on the road.
D&D.... fortunately, it's pretty easy to ignore the virtue signaling, but still kinda annoying that WotC decided to go that route.
I’m an artist and musician. 99% leftists in these fields it seems
Foodies,
Now apps like Yelp prioritize black-owned establishments.
White birds are racist, black birds are oppressed
The black birds are oppressed thing is actually being pushed right now. I'm not joking. I've read a half dozen articles about how they're being oppressed because they're black.
No fucking way
This can't be real life. Im dreaming, and im gonna wake up soon. I hope
kek
All these idiot millennials that our education system pumped out are old enough to be in positions of power in their jobs. They all want to be a hero (just like their T-shirt, coffee mug, and bedazzled wine glass says!). So whatever company they work for they are busy slaying imaginary dragons so they can “Be their own Hero”. Morons.
I'm a thief. I've been accused of cultural appropriation.
"Racism" is a weaponized word and the rules are that it can only be used against white people. So for white people, the options are to either
It's all a power thing, that's why some blacks will tell whites their tight with that they get an "n-word pass" as if white people really want to use that word but weren't because they didn't get "the pass". When in reality it's because some people realize calling others pejorative names isn't very nice.
This is the truth.
It's in the nature of their dogma. I'm not exaggerating when I say these cultists (something they project on us extra hard, probably because its so true of them) wake up in the morning and immediately look for problems. they'll make them up out of nowhere with moral relativity or critical race theory if they can't find a problem. For them nothing will ever be right with the world until we have complete equity, but at the same time a caste system. Their goals are unobtainable. Their ideology is self destructive. They are like a societal cancer.
I bird shoot. Pheasants, quaille, ducks, geese. Still safe here.
Anything related to the Camino de Santiago is nuts any more. Used to be arguments over equipment, what to pack and what comprised a "true pilgrim."

Seriously - knitting.
Yeah. Crazy, huh? You'd think we were Madame DeFarge or something.
The world of literature and books is overrun by woke idiots.
there can be no unity until YOU REMAKE THE LAST 6 STAR WARS MOVIES YOU LEFTIST FAGGOTS!
I’m an Aussie bird watcher, I’ve never been a club member, never subscribed to literature. I just lookup bird sightings and make my own way their with my own camera gear. Simple and peaceful. No people, no problem.
In support of one of the other Pedes here, comics. I fucking hate what has been done to the industry. It’s rage inducing.
That is true...any dollar I donate shifts another dollar from those land acquisition to Gender Fluid Non-Binary Queer Birdwatching support. That's an actual thing. I'm not making it up.
Yes! I’ve been basically driven out of my coven & online communities by SJW witches. So tired of hearing about my white privilege, and wondering why these women hate themselves so much. Also, “cultural approbation” accusations make me vomit. “Closed practices”... fuck off. Do what you will. You don’t need “permission” to burn sage.
There is no longer any such thing as an organization. They are all communist activists. Start your own org, and make some money while sharing your passion.
Video Games are 90% SJW BS, but the 10% stand tall and proud, we will not falter
Don't donate to them at all. Doesn't matter if you specify where it goes tbh
You think that's bad, I am an artist...
Every single passion I enjoy has been overrun. Aside from firearms. But now with the ammo shortage, they’ve managed to fuck that up for me as well.
Becuz, muh blackbirds matter.
That's part of the movement. Black birds are oppressed.
