We’ve been hearing a lot about “right-wing violence” lately. If we’re to believe our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters, there’s a Klansman on every street corner and a Nazi under every bed. There’s nothing more terrifying than a “white nationalist” who lives in his mom’s basement, which is why it’s okay for feral Antifa children to beat these guys up and drench them with balloons filled with piss. It’s “self-defense.”
But what happens when an act of violence is irrefutably motivated by left-wing ideology? What happens if, for example, a Bernie Bro named James T. Hodgkinson shoots at a bunch of congressmen for the explicit reason that he hates Republicans and wants them dead? How do we fit that into the preferred narrative?
We can’t. There’s no way. So we just leave it out entirely.
He’s not part of the Narrative, dude, so he doesn’t exist.

J. D. Tucille points the finger.
“One has to take sides,” Shuja Haider wrote at Jacobin, echoing other voices on the left. “There is a side that asserts our common humanity and fights fascism, racism, and hate. It was represented in Charlottesville by the leftist groups who took to the streets to confront the far right. The other side is the one that took innocent lives on those same streets.”
Take a side? You bet. But Haider and company are trying to force a false choice. They’d have you believe that advocates of free speech, open society, tolerance, and peaceful political change have to pick between fascists with tiki torches and masked “anti-fascists” clashing with them in the streets. But advocates of a free, open, and liberal society are a side—the correct side—and the left-wing and right-wing thugs battling in the streets are nothing more than rival siblings from a dysfunctional illiberal family.

The ambush occurred outside the Jefferson County Courthouse in Steubenville, Ohio, near the Pennsylvania and West Virginia state lines. Steubenville City Manager James Mavromatis told local mediathat a gunman ambushed the judge as he entered the courthouse Monday morning. Bruzzese, who was armed, returned fire at the assailant. An unnamed probation officer at the scene also fired on the would-be assassin. The gunman was killed, though it is not clear who fired the fatal shot. Police have not yet released the shooter’s identity.
If it had been a “Gun Free Zone”, they’d both be dead now.
The only defense against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Everett Glenn Miller, 45, was arrested and charged with first degree murder in the killing of Officers Sam Howard and Matthew Baxter.
Miller, who goes by the name Malik Mohammad Ali on Facebook, allegedly ambushed and shot the officers as they were responding to a disturbance call.
But he wasn’t a ‘white supremacist’ so it’s not really news.
It’s all about the Narrative, Larry.
Steve Sailer comments:
The pattern appears to be that most dangerous African-American terrorists in terms of death toll, once they decide to kill some cops, tend to be the ones with right-wing personalities like this fellow: ex-military guys who have been trained in how to handle weapons, such as the Dallas shooter, the Baton Rouge shooter, Christopher Dorner, etc.
In contrast, the Afro-LGBT Studies majors that Soros likes to subsidize aren’t gun people, while the hold-my-Glock-sideways gangbangers that BLM’s rhetoric riles up have a hard time hitting the broad side of a barn.

The Atlantic, a once-great magazine, has determined that the total eclipse of the sun due to occur on Monday will fail to affect enough black people.
The Atlantic’s very lengthy essay on the failure of the eclipse to occur where a sufficient number of black people reside is entitled “American Blackout.” It clocks in at a remarkable 4,544 words and does not appear to be satire.
If it were National Review, or some other right-wing publication, it would almost certainly be satire.
But The Atlantic is far from being a right-wing publication, and is not known for satirizing SJW twitches.

IN a low-key, musical version of the match between Garry Kasparov and the chess-playing machine called Deep Blue, a musician at the University of Oregon competed last month with a computer to compose music in the style of Johann Sebastian Bach. Steve Larson, who teaches music theory at the university, listened anxiously while his wife, the pianist Winifred Kerner, performed three entries in the contest — one by Bach, one by Dr. Larson and one by a computer program called EMI, or Experiments in Musical Intelligence.
Dr. Larson was hurt when the audience concluded that his piece — a simple, engaging form called a two-part invention — was written by the computer. But he felt somewhat mollified when the listeners went on to decide that the invention composed by EMI (pronounced ”Emmy”) was genuine Bach.

The class “interrogates mathematics as a field of inquiry, asking what is recognized as math and what isn’t, who had and has access to math, and what privileges it gives access to,” according to the course description. “Through a grounding in feminist critiques (from critical theory, science studies, and women-of-color feminisms), we will examine how mathematical knowledge becomes legitimized and the ways in which power structures influence what counts as knowledge.”
And for this they get credit has having studied mathematics, rather than politics.

Taxpayer-funded PBS and NPR are now in the polling business with Marist College, and like the other networks, their polls are often used to support putting heat on Republicans. On Wednesday, they announced they had found a majority of Americans were disappointed with the president’s responsive to the violence in Charlottesville. PBS then ignored their own finding that 62 percent favored leaving Confederate statues in place, while only 27 percent want them removed. NPR reported it once, and then insisted that had nothing to do with Charlottesville.
Buried in the weeds: They also asked if Americans approve or disapprove of Black Lives Matter: 50 percent disapproved, and only 33 percent approved. They even asked about approval of Antifa, but few had heard of them yet: Five percent approved, 24 percent disapproved, 18 percent said they had no opinion either way, and 53 percent were unsure. But if the results don’t fit….you must omit?

And they are mostly white.
I’m starting to get really tired of White Knights.
You’ve seen these gentlemen. They rush in, when they perceive someone as being in danger, and pavane around with grandeur, proclaim their goodness and wonderfulness, and their willingness to defend the helpless. And nine times out of ten, leave, full of honor and glory, leaving things worse than they found them.
Except the modern versions don’t ask you if you are helpless, they just assume. And they don’t do anything except signal their virtue and their willingness to defend you. Oh, they might take the opportunity to bash a few of their personal enemies, perhaps by claiming that they are your enemies too.
They’ve been all over recently. Yes, sure, there are many minorities online, who, having fully imbibed the Kool-Aid, are now merrily calling everyone a Nazi on the slimmest of pretexts. But most such offenders are in fact lily white and convinced of their own special wonderfulness. It was a lily white and, if I had to guess, upper middle class young man who took it upon himself to tell me I should be grateful to Antifa for saving me from vile speech.

Via Buzzfeed, here is Apple CEO Tim Cook’s memo:
Team,
Like so many of you, equality is at the core of my beliefs and values.
That’s why I deserved to be compensated $373 million for my labor in 2015 and you didn’t: because I believe in equality .
… I disagree with the president and others who believe that there is a moral equivalence between white supremacists and Nazis, and those who oppose them by standing up for human rights. Equating the two runs counter to our ideals as Americans.
Therefore, people I disagree with politically should have no civil rights. They should be outlaws subjected to any violence that people who agree with me feel like inflicting upon them, those bastards. After all, I made $373 million last year. What did theymake?
Regardless of your political views, we must all stand together on this one point — that we are all equal.
Although not in income. That’s a totally separate question.

Jonah Goldberg points out some inconvenient truth.
Fighting Nazis is a good thing, but fighting Nazis doesn’t necessarily make you or your cause good. By my lights this is simply an obvious fact.
The greatest Nazi-killer of the 20th century was Josef Stalin. He also killed millions of his own people and terrorized, oppressed, enslaved or brutalized tens of millions more.
Nazism was evil. Soviet Communism was evil. It’s fine to believe that Nazism was more evil than Communism. That doesn’t make Communism good.
Left-wing talking points to the contrary notwithstanding, Nazis were socialists (National Socialist Party).
Communists have killed at least three times as many people as the Nazis ever did.
The Nazis stopped killing people in 1945; communists have continued to the present day.
There are no Nazi governments any more; communism still oppresses China, Viet Nam, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.
Media handwringing to the contrary notwithstanding, there are probably more transgender people in the U.S. than actual Nazis. Indeed, there are probably more Hell’s Angels in the U.S. than actual Nazis.

I’m still waiting for one of these people to start giving his own money to poor people. (Bill Gates is famed as a philanthropist but he doesn’t give money to poor people, he gives it to other ‘good causes’. And he still winds up the richest guy in the world more often than not.)
But they never do. They’re all about giving away other people’s money, by force (which is how the government gets its money) if necessary.

It is a rich if tragic irony that the same progressives denouncing Richard Spencer and demanding that municipal statues be torn down for their alleged white supremacist qualities are themselves closely aligned with a white supremacist-tied group. I am speaking, of course, of Planned Parenthood, which is to the abortion-loving Left what Adolf Hitler’s bunker would have become to fascists had Germany not demolished it in the late 1980s: a sort of holy shrine upon which adulation and adoration can be fixated.
The racist, eugenicist roots of Planned Parenthood are well-documented, as is the paranoid racial and eugenic visions of its founder, Margaret Sanger, who spoke of her desire to create “a new race with a racial soul” in the United States, once cheerfully spoke before a women’s Klan meeting, desired to “keep the doors of Immigration closed” to those “whose condition is known to be detrimental to the stamina of the race,” and yearned to accentuate “the better racial elements in our society” so as to erase from the population “defective stocks—those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.”
