Hypocrisy and the SJW

So Game of Thrones show runners have a show IDEA that HBO is considering called Confederate that will take place in an alternative history in which the South successfully kicked the North to the curb and slavery, for some reason, remains legal.  SJWs are up in arms about how racist white people are for even considering this show.  Why?  Because they think it caters to white supremacists.

What do they know about the show other than the basic premise?  It's not even written yet.  No casting.  No plans to actually film anything.  It's an IDEA.  This show would probably be as anti racist a statement as Hollywood gets because it's HOLLYWOOD and that sells.   It would be all about how evil slavery was and why we should come together and put race behind us.  It could even restart those conversations about love and tolerance and everyone getting along that Obama shut down with 8 years of race baiting.  It could be the biggest vehicle to draw attention to human trafficking which is a serious issue we need to address anyway.

We don't know what the show will be about because it's just an IDEA at this point. How do they know it's being made to please white supremacists?

Oh yeah.  Cuz white people are writing it.  Only reason.  They don't like white people.

Remember when all these very same critics were telling us to watch Dear White People before we called it racist (even though Dear White People was insanely racist and was praised for it)?

Pot.  Kettle.  Morons.

This proves my point about how far into insanity the liberal set have truly gone.  An IDEA with no further explanation sets their little racist hearts off.  An IDEA, any idea, that doesn't conform to the state sponsored propaganda they have been conditioned to believe is automatically dismissed and shunned.  Liberals are afraid of IDEAS now.

This isn't a world we should accept.

Canadian Shade

So Trump wants to keep trans people out of combat. Well, the military brass has been wanting that for years so it's not that unusual.  But I'll give my thoughts on trans in the military later.  Today, I wanna bitch about Canada.

See, Canada has been stirring the shit pot with the US pretty much since Trump was elected.  Trump and Trudeau are having a who's is bigger contest and it's the folks like us who have to suffer it.

But now left wing Canadians are throwing shade at the US for everything and I'm tired of it.  This whole uproar on social media about the Canadian military calling out the US military is stupid.  Hashtag "diversity is our strength" is hashtag "hypocrisy".

When you compare the history of the United States with Canada's, the glaring similarities are insane.  That's just the way the country was founded.  Compare the culture.  The crime. The drug use.  The police being dicks.  The politics.   The Islamic extremism and fear of it.  Even the accents.  You can't tell the two countries apart.

So when Canadians throw "shade" at the US for any reason, pot meets kettle.  Face it.  Canada is just the US further north on the map.

They're not more tolerant.  Ask the First Nations who are dealing with limited access to clean drinking water.  They aren't more free.  Ask the reporters who have to pay fines for criticizing Islam.  They're economy isn't that much better.  Ask the folks in Vancouver paying 2 mil for an efficiency apartment or the high unemployment rate in Ontario.  Their health care isn't better.  Try seeing a doctor in Quebec on a Sunday.

All in all, Canada throwing shade is laughable, eh?

The Murder of Charlie Gard

Charlie Gard was born with a rare genetic disorder that was more or less a death sentence right out the womb.  He isn't even a year old and he is destined to die.

Correction, Britain's national healthcare service AND courts deemed Charlie's life unworthy of attempting to save.

NHS doctors told little Charlie's parents to let their baby die. That it was in everyone's best interest.  What they really meant was treating Charlie was a burden on the government run healthcare system and they didn't want to pay for it.  It had nothing to do with what was best for Charlie.

Charlie is a baby.  Charlie has no say.

And Charlie's parents had no say.  An outrage!

There was an experimental treatment in the US but the NHS refused to let the Gards take their child out of the hospital let alone out of the country.  The Gards had to go to court and invoke public sympathy in order to pressure the courts and NHS to abide by their wishes.

By then it was too late for the experimental treatment to have any effect.  They'd waited too long.

Make no mistake, if the Gard's had been rich, Charlie would have been in America months ago.  Instead, his case got dicked around in the courts until it was too late and his parents were forced to give up.

What if it was your child?  Would this be acceptable to you?

Nothing has outraged me more, however, than the public response to the fate of little Charlie.

So many poored out their support for the Gards even helping them fund raise for the experimental treatment.  So many people were loving and moral enough to want to help a baby live.  I thank God there are still people like that out there.

But there were way more who praised the NHS and condemned Charlie's parents for trying to save their son.  Just today, I myself commented on Twitter about my own outrage.  I was trolled by quite a few Brits telling me to shut up.

But silence in the face of injustice is one of the biggest reasons the world sucks.

Truth:  We should have done everything humanly possible to save Charlie Gard.  No euthanizing babies because they burden you.  That's hateful.  And the ONLY people who should have had a say in whether or not Charlie went to America for treatment were his parents.  If we allow governments to decide our worth, we have no worth.

Truth:  As much as I view health care as a right and not a privilege, I'm forced to concede that government run healthcare is just as immoral and corrupt as privately run healthcare.  There's no winning in the health care game if you're poor.

British healthcare sentenced a baby to die because they didn't want the burden of treating him and the British people are ok with that.

No wonder their empire was destroyed.
