this is also why boys are reading so much less now that children’s publishing has become female dominated
men write archetypes. women write about themselves.
men write about heroes, villains, gods, monsters, extraordinary characters who embody something greater than themselves, heroes that boys can admire and aspire to become
women write characters who look like them, think like them, have their problems and insecurities, characters they can identify with and project themselves onto
men use writing as a vehicle for self-transcendence while women use it as a vehicle for self-recognition
it’s the difference between wanting to become Batman and wanting Batman to become you
it’s then obvious why boys craving the hero’s journey would rather retreat into video games than read yet another piece of autobiographical, gossip-filled, moralizing turboslop
if you want boys to start reading again you need to let men write again
England has existed for 1,099 years, but our leaders claim it is not an ethnicity. Pakistan has only existed for 79 years, yet it is an ethnicity.
England is conventionally dated as a unified kingdom from 927 AD under Æthelstan, the first king of all the English. Pakistan gained independence on 14 August 1947. In the UK census and official usage, “Pakistani” is routinely listed as an ethnic category, while Englishness is frequently treated as a civic or cultural identity open to anyone rather than a historic ethnicity tied to the long-settled people of England.
@AureliusStoic1 They roll him out whenever Democrats are in power, he’s great at making Fox News clips in hearings. Just another character in the political charade.
@wrkshp4better1@MorrowindGOTY You seem to have confused theatre and art with the historical reality that every black race was living in prehistoric conditions prior to colonialism.
Most people don’t get upset if they see someone pounding their chest or making monkey noises. It’s because the idea that you’re an actual monkey is so preposterous, so far fetched that it’s not even given a second thought. Most people….
except for one group in particular.
Dave Chappelle isn’t a Leftist, he’s Black.
This is one of those glaring realities that Conservatives simply can’t seem to get…
Because they refuse.
So let me break it down. 👇
“Ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered… I feel better,” Dave Chappelle said in a way that didn’t explicitly or implicitly suggest he was joking.
It was an applause line, not a punchline.
He went on to describe driving around, wondering why he was in a good mood, and then remembering Kirk’s death.
Audience members could be heard laughing, cheering, and applauding in the footage.
Meanwhile, Americans should learn from this and soak in some life lessons.
Many conservatives are talking about the Leftists’ proclivity for violence.
That seems to be the most looming response on social media: Leftists are violent, and they are dangerous.
But they’ve lost the plot.
This wasn’t “Leftist comedian attacks conservative martyr.”
It’s “Black comedian attacks White martyr”, and people who refuse to see that aren’t paying attention.
It wasn’t Leftism that provoked Chappelle to laugh at a dead White leader. He’s been exiled from that segment of the Left for not bending to their demands on homosexuality, transgenderism, or the wackier elements of the Left that have taken over American progressives.
Chappelle is significantly more “conservative” than, say, a White female gender studies student at your local university.
Dave doesn’t engage in Leftist virtue signaling, doesn’t hop on every culturally progressive fad, and doesn’t countenance unbridled faggotry on parade, at least, not without mocking it.
Chappelle would never be invited to entertain a group of America’s furthest-Left progressives.
Sociologically, there’s another reason for his views…
Dave is Black.
Pew Research Center recently found that 74 percent of Black adults considered their race extremely or very important to their identity, compared with 15 percent of White adults.
That is nearly a fivefold difference between the two groups in how important race is to their worldview.
That affects how they view the world, and the violence they do or do not applaud.
When it came to Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Dave Chappelle was put into a good mood, no matter the type of loving and graceful man he was.
But when it came to George Floyd, Chappelle said, “I don’t care what this nigger did.”
And there, you have the Black worldview.
George Floyd was a violent career criminal who died from a Fentanyl overdose. Dave Chappelle treated him as a martyr, despite the fact that he died, as criminals often do, of a drug overdose in police custody after having committed a crime.
Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk was a thought-leader, advocated non-violence, was never prosecuted for a crime, and, by all accounts, loved the world and the people in it, regardless of their ethnicity. He eschewed racism, condemned hate, and the most controversial stance he ever took was his opposition to infanticide and childhood sexual mutilation. He was, unlike Floyd, assassinated as a literal martyr for his beliefs.
And that… makes Dave Chappelle happy.
As usual, the conservative pundits on the right have it all wrong.
This incident with Chappelle isn’t Leftism, at least not primarily.
It’s the product of Black rage and a Black propensity toward violence.
It’s the product of racial tribalism, in which one race has been designated the perpetual enemy, and their lives just don’t matter.
And yet…
White Lives Matter
We are not conservatives.
We do not believe in the system. We want to tear it down, and in its place build one that puts our people first.
We are revolutionaries.
He who hath been violent for Heaven in this life, need not fear a violent death. Death shall do him no hurt; it shall not be a destruction, but a deliverance: it shall purge out sin, and perfect glory.
— Thomas Watson
