If you’ve been wondering how it’s possible for so many woke movies, streaming series and video games to continually fail yet still get made, the answer is of course ESG funding. These products don’t necessarily have to bring in consumer dollars because the companies already got paid by an army of NGOs and government programs.

Though the flow of ESG cash has slowed dramatically ever since central banks started raising interest rates there’s still a long list of projects that were initiated several years ago that are finally being released today. This is why, despite the complete public rejection of woke propaganda and dying ESG, we are still being inundated with far-left media.

For many years it has been suspected that leftist government officials are involved in directly financing social engineering projects using public tax dollars. In film and TV the influence is more obvious, but what about video games (the largest entertainment market on the planet)?

This summer’s events could hardly have shown us more clearly how Europe’s spineless, self-loathing attitude to the fight against Islamism here and abroad is putting democracy and Western civilisation at risk. Yet our leaders refuse to face the truth.

Until the recent announcement of their big reunion gigs, 1990s Britpop band Oasis only featured in the news whenever there was a terror attack in the UK; most notably after the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing in which an Islamic suicide bomber killed 22 people, including children, and injured a thousand more at an Ariana Grande concert in the band’s home city.

After terror attacks, the authorities play the Oasis classic “Don’t Look Back in Anger” at every opportunity, as if it was a state anthem in a totalitarian regime. The message to the public is: be sad, weep for the cameras, but don’t show the ‘wrong’ kind of emotions; don’t get angry about the Islamist slaughter of innocents—and if you do, we’re coming for you.

‘Islamism’ is not a thing; it’s a euphemism used by people who are unwilling (or afraid) to voice the truth that Islam, not some ‘variant’ thereof, is the problem.

Today in “victories by our Border Czar Kamala Harris” it was reported that this past week a group of about 20 migrants tried to board a children’s school bus in California, “terrifying” the children.

And the incident came one day after another group of migrants were walking down the highway trying to stop another bus, according to a report by the NY Post. On Tuesday, at least 3 migrants were in traffic on Highway 94 trying to stop a bus that was ultimately forced to go around them.

Then, early Wednesday, about 20 people tried to board a bus at a stop near the highway while students were getting on for school.

Both incidents took place in the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District close to the Mexico border, according to the Post.

Mother of one child, Nicole Cardinale, said: “It was definitely really scary. Your initial shock is you’re helpless.”

“He said these adults — they weren’t kids — had backpacks on and they were trying to get on our bus … He said there was a lot of them,” she continued, stating that the kids were “really confused” by the episode.

On Tuesday, a federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled that illegal aliens do not have the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment, due to the fact that they are not American citizens.

As reported by Fox News, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined that federal law prohibiting illegal aliens from owning firearms is legal, as the Constitution does not apply to anyone who has entered the United States illegally.

The decision came as the result of an appeal by an illegal alien named Jose Paz Medina-Cantu, who had been arrested in Texas in 2022 by the Border Patrol. He was charged with illegal possession of a handgun, and illegally re-entering the country after having already been deported.

No-brain journalism strikes again: ‘Not an American citizen’ and ‘in the country illegally’ aren’t the same thing.

“The Second Amendment protects the right of ‘the people’ to keep and bear arms. Our court has held that the term ‘the people’ under the Second Amendment does not include illegal aliens,” said U.S. Circuit Judge James Ho in a concurring opinion. “As to common sense, an illegal alien does not become ‘part of a national community’ by unlawfully entering it, any more than a thief becomes an owner of property by stealing it.”

Love that analogy.

A Christian infantry officer is now being punished by the Idaho Army National Guard for using his First Amendment right to speak out against the LGBTQ+ ideology that he believes is harming children.

In 2023, the officer posted about some of his deeply held beliefs on his private social media account while running for political office in his “private capacity.” According to Liberty Counsel, the legal group defending him, his posts included statements “against graphic, obscene children’s books in a library and the promotion of a ‘drag kids’ event and drag queens in schools.”

He also posted statements such as ‘No child is born in the wrong body,’ males should not be competing in female sports, and against the medical mutilation of gender-confused children.

His concern over LGBTQ+ indoctrination resulted in “a subordinate senior enlisted man who claims to be homosexual” filing “a formal discrimination military complaint against the officer” for sharing his beliefs. The complaint accused the infantry officer’s posts of showing “just how much [the officer] truly hates the LGBTQ community.”

Books have been written, movies made and college courses taught about white privilege. Denouncing the evils of whiteness indiscriminately allows people of all races, even white people like Robin DiAngelo and Tracie McMillan, to earn a very good living from hunting for white privilege.

Less discussed is ‘whiteless privilege’. Even when one of the biggest beneficiaries of whiteless privilege, Vice President Kamala Harris, has made that her identity. What race is Kamala? Kamala is at once black and Indian, and none of the above because what matters most is not what race she is, but what race she is not. By not being white, she is a person of color and thus whiteless.

Kamala has white ancestry by way of her father, but in a world where men can be women and women can be androgynous and can then march in pride parades as Androgynes for Gaza while wearing half-burkas, what you are matters much less than what you identify as and what you don’t identify as.

University of Michigan security broke up a pro-Palestinian student “die-in” demonstration Wednesday and police arrested four people, in the latest sign that campus activism across the country is resuming as the fall semester begins.

None of the four people arrested were students, a university spokesperson told press. One is a temporary university employee. At least one arrested protester got into a physical altercation with police, according to the Michigan Daily, the student newspaper.

The protest was backed by a pro-Palestinian student coalition that includes the university’s chapter of the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace and was staged during a popular outdoor showcase for fall student activities. Members of the collective claimed on Instagram that one student had been arrested and later released.

The graffiti, sprayed across the sandstone monument, said “Jews are committing genocide” in English. The words “Free Palestine,” accompanied by the image of a Palestinian flag, were sprayed on the ground below it. A local tour guide discovered the vandalism on Wednesday, according to the Juedische Allgemeine, a German Jewish publication.

The incident is the latest in which Holocaust memorials and Jewish sites have been hit with pro-Palestinian and antisemitic graffiti since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7. Earlier this summer, a Seattle Holocaust museum was tagged with pro-Palestinian graffiti, and U.S. synagogues have also been defaced with anti-Israel messages. In the Netherlands last month, a statue of Anne Frank was vandalized with spray paint, and in the fall a mural in Italy honoring Frank was also damaged.

The assembled cast of MSNBC’s Morning Joe joined former Obama State Department official and former managing editor of Time magazine, Richard Stengel, on Thursday in hailing Vice President Kamala Harris for supposedly taking back the mantle of American exceptionalism from Republicans.

The basis for the segment was an article Stengel wrote for Time where he claimed that Harris’s DNC acceptance speech was “the most full-throated and sincere expression of American exceptionalism since the presidency of George W. Bush, and the most direct and unambiguous expression of that idea by a Democratic presidential candidate since John F. Kennedy.”

…

In proof that the thesis may need some revisions, elsewhere in the segment, Stengel would dance around counterexamples, such as the anti-American, anti-Israel demonstrators.

As it was, after Stengel claimed the Iraq War alienated many Democrats from the idea of American exceptionalism, he turned his attention to Donald Trump, “I mean, the other thing, the flip side, the fact that Republicans are embracing American exceptionalism, when their own candidate has basically derogated the term when he said the American dream is dead and has run as a declinist, as political scientists call him, someone who thinks America is in decline.”

He will not be allowed to re-enter Germany and could face up to three years in prison if he does.

ZMan keeps pointing out how the world is going to shit.

Western elites are in a competition with one another to see who can be the most creative in violating the old rules of the liberal order. Every week seems to bring a new outrage from a Western government. The reason it seems like they are looking to outrage rather than work from an understood ideological foundation is that they do not fully understand their new ideological foundation. It is an evolving paradigm, as they used to say, to which they are forced to adapt.

A good example is this rather weird story out of the UK. A company was taken to court because they paid warehouse workers more than their retail workers. The warehouse staff was predominantly male while the retail staff was predominantly female, thus creating a situation in which men are earning more than women. The company pointed out that this is normal and there was no evidence that women were discriminated against in hiring or evaluations. They lost the case anyway.

Something called an employment tribunal agreed that “the difference in pay rates between the jobs was not down to direct discrimination, including the conscious or subconscious influence of gender on pay decisions, but was caused by efforts to reduce cost and enhance profit. Even so, it ruled that the “business need was not sufficiently great as to overcome the discriminatory effect of lower basic pay.” In other words, it just looked bad so it must be bad.
