Laughter and comedy are a subversive force far deeper and more ancient than any crackpot conflict theory or Hegelian fever dream can counter. Why do you think comedians have been among the earliest to come under fire by the Woke?
Nigerian email scammers utilizing grammar as a screening mechanism is absolutely brilliant. I always thought the poor grammar was a flaw committed by a bunch of amateurs. That is next level scamming.
Yeah, if you want to see a CRT neophytes head explode ask them if they belong to the American race. lf so, how do they explain their American privilege related to military and economic hegemony... you know that privilege that allows them to exploit wage slave labor in the global South for their cool sneakers, clothes, and consumer items. If they deny their American race, I ask them how many generations they're allowed to go back to identify with their chosen race. If going back a few generations they find multiple ancestral races, I ask them how did they know which race to identify with? As the confusion sets in, I ask about skin color and whether that always identifies one's cultural heritage and/or ethnicity and or identity. Finally I ask, what race do you think I am? at this point nobody will say "White." then I usually get a quiet inquiry... as they are genuinely curious that I might have a racial identity beyond White. I explain that first and foremost I'm American. Then I explain that I am of Irish and Slavic ancestry, and that both ethnic groups were severely oppressed and exploited at various times in recent history.
Humor is just one way to counteract these bad faith efforts to control conversation. Most here probably know this, but James Lindsay's New Discourses is a great source of information on this topic. I agree that engaging with these folks on their terms isn't likely to be successful, but "knowing your enemy" presents options in addition to mockery towards resisting this existential threat to civilization.

I've been "fascinated" (I realize this may be the wrong word) by scammers and scambaiters for years and I've NEVER heard this specific proposition- that the entreaties are specifically badly written as a filter. It's equally fascinating.
Spot on, those who do not subscribe to concept of reason and logic can not be persuaded by the same. All that is left is to make fun of their ignorance.
Well if climate is a social construct like gender, we can each decide the climate is what we feel it is. So just like gender where there aren’t just two, there are genders innumerable, we can have as many climates as we like. My transclimate is warm and pleasant and quite stable so no need for Net Zero. Net Zero is an oppressive policy by cisclimate, heteronormative, transclimaphobes. .
“this is why they choose as mascots those like poor abused weather potato greta”
I came for the information and stayed for the poetry
The absurdity is pawpable.
This is why we really need to support the artists and comedians speaking out about this (JP Sears, Tyler Fischer, Ryan Long, Bob Moran etc).
I really love your writing & it’s a privilege to be able to peer into your imagination.
Thank you, king of felines,

Spot on. I will summarize it for you. These are godless people looking for something to worship. Humans were created to worship.
This is why they went after comedians and still do

Let the memes begin! 🎯
As a sidenote, I was dismayed to discover that "cat" is pronounced as "mao" in Chinese, so Chairman Meow isn't far off.
