Media Lie: Norway Shooter was a Christian

In a display of collective dominance, and testimony to the sheer scope of power the left has,  the gears of the machine that holds up liberal hegemony were working perfectly, maximising the political gains to be made out of the recent Norway massacres. One can only imagine the kind of degenerate, sick mind that could utilise such an outrage for political gain but it's standard practice for liberals. The mere fact that conservatives and right-wingers – instead of condemning the acts of a madmad - are being forced to defend themselves from supposed thought-crimes makes me sick to my stomach.

The Myth of Gender and Heterosexuality

HAH, headline grabber, sorry. 6,000 words bitches so stay cool. Because I believe everything one does should be as a response to Star Wars, the actual title should read, " THE MYTH OF GENDER AND HETEROSEXUALITY - Thoughts on Butler and the Logic of Gender: The Possible Origins of Authentic Masculinity".. 

Thoughts on Butler and the Logic of Gender

The Possible Origins of Authentic Masculinity

Judith Butler, from what I can gather in Gender Trouble, has a straightforward argument. Gender is socially constructed, it is reproduced and reconstituted (through discourse, especially) to reaffirm itself. The constructed nature of gender means that masculine and feminine behavior is a lived illusion.

   Butler denies a causal link between gender and sex distinction, and from here decides that the sex distinction itself is a social/cultural construct. Her reasoning is that we cannot perceive the distinction between male and female without appealing to gender. Once we grasp that there is no meaningful differential quality between what we claim to be the two sexes, this, and the reality of intersex, somehow renders sex distinction unstable. Using this reasoning, heterosexuality is revealed to be a social/cultural construct as well. Sexual identity for heterosexuals, then, is only real when you internalise the discourse. Gender and sexuality is thus, technically,  existentially arbitrary.

   For Butler all notions of masculine and feminine, and the heterosexual, are constructs of discourse which are self-perpetuating, and have no cause other than the power structures of heterosexual domination (heterosexist social orders).

   The implication of Butler’s thought, at least from my understanding of her, is that genitalia differences are content-free; sex distinction and gender are socially constructed (along with heterosexuality). I feel it is an awfully big coincidence that the same structures of oppression and domination (heterosexist, phallocentric, whatever you like) appear almost globally across time, and seem to create the same discourses. Perhaps Butler has an answer to this, but I feel that the independent formation of heterosexist social orders, across continents and diverse peoples, demands a universal cause.

The Public Sector and Pornography

Are all public sector workers stupid? No, obviously – only the ones who listen to the deceptions their unions spout. What does baffle me, however, is how certain workers in the public sector are completely clueless as to how they are actually paid. I swear some of them think money grows on trees.

The state now directly spends 53% of the kingdom's wealth, 53% GDP (this figure was 40% before Tony Blair was elected). That's more than communist china (COMMUNIST CHINA!). The public sector absorbs 53% of the wealth Britain generates, yet generates no wealth in return. It's a parasite, in other words. A teacher or politician may insist that she earns her salary, but she does so not in the same manner as a private sector worker. Their relationships to the economy are entirely different. A teacher, or politician, or doctor, or soldier, is entirely dependant on the private sector for her pay packet. Some might chip in and say, 'I'm paid by government, not the private sector, actually', which is quite hilarious. Government has no money. Any money a government has, it takes by taxation, taxation of the private sector: from bankers to waitresses. The public sector worker may then, bizarrely, protest that she pays her taxes just like everyone else. No she doesn't, girlfriend! Her entire salary is generated by the smaller private sector. Whatever she pays in taxes goes into the government spending pot – and straight back into her salary.

Seriously?

You are a bastard...
