LEFTISM AS A MENTAL DISORDER, EXHIBIT #1,000,006:

As one game designer put it, “These are likely the type of devs holding all other devs hostage for their agenda. Tyranny of the woke in gaming.”

THREAD:

Social media platforms don’t care at all what the content is that keeps users engaged, so long as they keep the app or the browser tab open and scrolling.

AI is cheap and good enough to keep users scrolling but it does give lie to the whole “social” part of social media.

INCENTIVES MATTER: Former inmate tells Riley Gaines male ‘opportunists’ are using trans policies to get into female prisons. “92% of incarcerated women in California have been battered or beaten or are subject to some form of sexual abuse. They’re now forcibly housed with intact male inmates who 33.8% are registered sex offenders. So, to place women in a situation that’s very similar to their initial trauma, many of which led them to their incarceration, is cruel and unusual. And it has caused a lot of complex PTSD symptoms that start up developing in the entire population.”

But they’re sticking it to the patriarchy or something.

COME SEE THE RACISM INHERENT IN THE LEFTISM: UN secretary-general youth climate adviser calls for Whites to be stripped of power in ‘revolutionary fights.’

The United Nations’ Secretary-General António Guterres personally selected Pakistani-American Ayisha Siddiqa as one of his advisers to help “accelerat[e] the implementation of his climate action agenda,” a 2023 UN announcement stated. Siddiqa was a Time Woman of the Year in 2023 who has co-founded two youth climate activist organizations.

“The Secretary-General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change provides him with practical and outcome-focused advice… and concrete recommendations, with a clear focus on accelerating the implementation of his climate action agenda. Convened under the auspices of the United Nations [as it]… works to accelerate global climate action,” the announcement said.

One of the criteria for candidates landing the two-year assignment was a “demonstrated commitment to the UN’s values.”

According to her social media posts, Siddiqa is more than an environmentalist. She unabashedly promotes radical leftist beliefs like abolishing the police, espousing socialist ideals, sharing Marxist-themed and anti-capitalist content while repeatedly denigrating White people.

Defund the UN and send the whole organization packing so it can feed on some other host.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Bobulinski Plays Rough With Dems Raskin, Goldman, and AOC. “My takeaway from the behavior of Raskin, Goldman, and AOC is that they sure are skittish for people who keep saying that there is nothing to be found out by this investigation.”

A VERY PUBLIC EDUCATION: Round Rock Independent School District’s Mexican-American Studies course describes restrictions on immigration as oppression, claims the terms ‘undocumented’ and ‘illegal’ perpetuate stereotypes.

Similarly, a unit map for a unit entitled “Resistance and Liberation” identifies DACA (a program that delays deportation for illegal aliens who came to the US when they were children, as well as making them eligible for work permits) as a form of resistance against oppression. A learning goal of the unit is “I can describe how significant events from 1975 to present have resisted systems of oppression against Mexican Americans, such as DACA and Texas Dreamers Act.”

The curriculum also seems to criticize the existence of immigration laws by highlighting the political organization “Jolt Texas” while teaching about its founder, Cristina Tzintzun Ramirez, in a unit on “Contributions of Mexican Americans to the American Identity.” Jolt Texas’s stated goals include ending “the criminalization of undocumented immigrants” along with advocating for a climate agenda, socialized healthcare, and tuition-free college education.

Communist propaganda, straight up.

WHEN OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY RUNS OUT: Vladimir Putin ‘sends oil tanker to save Cuba’ but there’s one big problem.

Cuba, heavily impacted by US restrictions, a fragile tourism sector, and a declining local product [and, you know communism -Steve], has been brought to its knees. However, it seems that Putin is stepping in to provide some support to the troubled nation.

Jorge Pinon, a top research fellow at the University of Texas and ex-oil industry boss, said to the Havana Times: “Cuba’s dependence on Russia and its other allies, cemented by their political similarities, is the only thing the country can count on.”

He went on to explain: “Russia has plenty of crude oil and, because of US sanctions imposed on Moscow after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and is looking for new markets. Also, Russian crude from the Urals region is the kind best suited to Cuban refineries’ capabilities. In fact, the refinery in Cienfuegos was designed specifically handle it,” reports the Daily Star.

Despite having the ability to use oil for energy, there’s one big problem. The expert revealed: “The most pressing problem for Havana is how to pay for it.”

My takeaway from this report is that Cuba has a problem paying for stuff but the situation will be improved with a tanker of oil, provided they can pay for it.

“BAD LUCK”: Cuba Runs Out Of Money. “So commies limit bank access to a business’s own cash, and they’re shocked that businesses stop depositing it in banks.”

AND ANOTHER ONE: Bentley Pushes Back Ambitious All-Electric Goals. “Bentley had originally planned to transition all of its vehicle sales to EVs by 2030 but announced that it would be looking to delay that change by a couple of years, continuing to offer hybrids through that time, CEO Adrian Hallmark said in a media briefing following the company’s fourth quarter results, according to CNBC. General Motors, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Honda have all backed off of previously made EV goals in the past year as low demand and high costs have stifled the commodity’s profitability compared to traditional vehicles.”

FIGHT THE POWER: Texas yanks $8.5B from Larry Fink’s BlackRock in ‘massive blow against the scam of ESG.’

The State of Texas is terminating a massive $8.5 billion investment with trillion-dollar asset manager BlackRock over the state’s determination that the firm is engaged in a boycott of energy companies.

In an announcement first shared with FOX Business, Texas State Board of Education Chairman Aaron Kinsey said the so-called Texas Permanent School Fund (PSF) had delivered a notice to BlackRock on Tuesday, informing the New York City-based firm of the action.

According to Kinsey, the move was made in accordance with a 2021 state law that seeks to distance the state and its large public purse from financial institutions boycotting the oil and gas sector.

Why should Texas do business with its destroyers?
