SJWs and Progressive Media Know Not What They Are Getting Themselves Into

When a woman lost her cool with another woman outside her office, who was continually screaming “Buy Our Water” at the top of her lungs, she said she was going to call the cops because she was selling without a permit.

The undocumented vendor woman was with her 8 year-old daughter because she recently lost her job and they were going to go to Disneyland, or something.

Allison Ettel, the one who said she was going to call the cops, is getting death threats. Why? Because the people selling the water happen to be black, and you cannot ever confront black people even when you think you are right. Even if it’s the very same thing you would do to anyone no matter what they look like, you simply cannot engage with blacks if the engagement has any negativity whatsoever. This makes you a NAZI and the target for the SJW’s favorite hobby – trying to destroy people just to see if they can.

This is the game being played right now by progressives, even if their targets are progressives. (The lady they are threatening is most likely a prog herself. She lives in San Francisco and peddles medical marijuana.) If you are white you are deserving prey.

But this is a dangerous game.

In exchange for these one-off destructions they will lose at the ballot box, and they will lose sympathy for their causes. They may think this flexing of muscle is a display of power. It is not. It is fomenting animosity towards the left.

In the book The Authoritarian Dynamic, authored by a lefty, Princeton professor Karen Stenner cites studies that conclude that when tax payers are asked to subsidize people who they feel alienated from they tend to turn off the spigot.

No one is going to vote for politicians talking about subsidizing the economic safety net for blacks who think of the white tax payers as “the problem” in society.

This is why I chuckle every time I hear the ignorant and naive Bernie Sanders talk about the wonders of Scandinavian socialist countries that we should emulate.

All-white countries that do not have the sorts of problems we are witnessing in America- SJWs finding ways to attack people for being born white, illegals flooding the border who have no intention of ever assimilating, Muslims who want to import their barbaric Sharia laws- are more willing to part with their money if it isn’t subsidizing people who resent them.

Everyone is encouraged to be tribal when they are non-white. Guess what? Whites can be tribal too. Even progressives, eventually. Why force them to be?

This is the story about the woman’s death threats.

  1. I never once, until now, heard Allison’s side of the story.
    The evil media is dishonest and biased and pushing an agenda on even this little nothing-burger of a story.

  2. Why didn’t she call the cops from inside the building and tell them they have no permit?
    The little girl and her mama are dumb. If they were outside of a dispensary, they should have been selling Doritos.

  3. Scandinavian countries seem wonderful to me.

    I mean, I have never been to one. And I really only know what I read in headlines about them, and pictures, of beautiful, happy people.
    Income level? No idea.
    Taxes? No idea.
    Freedoms? No idea.
    So we should do whatever they are doing, because my clearly well-founded opinions must be true!!!

    They simply must!!!

  4. I once was approached by a black man in my front yard who had run out of gas a couple of blocks away. I pointed at the five gallon gas can near me and told him he could have the gas inside to put into his car. He never returned the gas can. You just can’t afford to help some people.

  5. Every day I feel a chunk of my
    humanity & civility being carved
    out of my body.At some point I will become
    like Anakin when he “snapped off” and went
    to the dark side and killed ALL the Sand People.
    I hope that doesn’t happen….

  6. “…when tax payers are asked to subsidize people who they feel alienated from they tend to turn off the spigot.”

    I can’t tell you how many times (California) people would throw flyers in my mailbox for some non-English speaking town that had mostly hispanic/illegal population asking for a YES vote to build a park or playground or community center. As if I would ever be welcomed there. Everything’s written Spanish and the signage is even in Spanish, and only offering Mexican cultural activities.
    AYFKM??? Meanwhile, they don’t have money to fix roads and sidewalks everywhere else.

  7. I think that once a month the law should allow you to give some obnoxious jerk “one free punch in
    the nose”. Punch wisely though
    as that does not count for a brawl.

  8. Z Man had an article on the “tribal” aspect you mention yesterday:
    http://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=14183

    “The general lawlessness we see among our ruling classes is not unnoticed. When white people enter “white couple” in a google image search and it returns all race mixers, a white identitarian is born. This battle between our would-be over-class and our current over-class is the sort of thing that opens the eyes of white people about the reality of America.”

  9. The late and profoundly missed Mike Vanderboegh wrote about an encounter he had at his local thrift store three years ago with a black man wearing a BLM T-shirt. The whole article is very highly recommended, but here’s a key part.

    Dang. I can’t seem to be able to pick out an appropriate excerpt so I’ll just post the whole thing.

    I had a run-in at a local thrift store (one of my favorite haunts) the other day with yet another black fellow wearing a “Black lives matter” tee-shirt. There’s nothing that sets me off like racial identity politics, black or white, so I said in a reasonable tone, “You know, I don’t want to pop your balloon, but ALL lives matter.” You could see he immediately got pissed off, but before he could give me a rejoinder, I said, “That’s why God invented firearms,” and patted my right front pants pocket. He saw the gesture and said the first thing that came to his mind, “F-ck you, motherf-cker.” I replied, still quite reasonably, “No, that’s what the pistol is preventing, but I’m serious, all lives matter, yours, mine, everybody’s, regardless of skin color. We all matter, don’t you agree?”

    This gave him a bit of pause, not being used to being asked to think about life in terms other than that of slogans. “I’m talking about cops killing young black men,” he replied. “Oh I know what you’re talking about, and I’m no fan of killer cops either, but when you put things in terms of race and race alone, you’re no better than the cowards of the Klan.”

    Now he just looked at me. “You know,” I said, “I’ve been fighting THOSE bastards all my life and I’ll tell you something, they are damned happy to see you adopt their way of thinking about life in pure racial terms. And I’ll tell you something else, they are happy as shit to see y’all murdering each other by the bushel-full every damn day. Hell, not even at the height of their power could they lynch you that fast. And I’ll tell you something else as well. The ghost of every Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan and every wanna-be Neo-Nazi fuhrer who ever lived laughs like hell every morning when the abortion clinics open for business in your neighborhoods. They love white people killing black babies (and most abortionists are white) and they love black kids killing other black kids. Hell, y’all are putting ALL the lynchings of the Klan throughout history in the deep shade and you’re giving the Holocaust a run for its money (and here I raised my voice for the first time) — AND YOU’RE DOING IT ALL TO YOURSELVES. Lord knows that you’re good for comic relief in the parts of Hell that THEY inhabit. And the Devil does too.

    He just gaped at me. And we were drawing a small crowd, mostly black women. And two of them were nodding.

    “And when you put it terms of ‘Black lives matter,’ that implies that white lives, and Asian lives, and Eskimo lives, and every other kind of lives don’t matter. So we get the feeling that if this is all about some sort of race test that we can’t hope to pass to your satisfaction because of who we are, not how we act, then screw you buddy, we’re not gonna play that game. So the rest of us get the feeling that if our lives don’t matter then why the hell should we care if you think ‘black lives matter?’ And it’s just a little ways from there for the rest of us to conclude that black lives DON’T matter either.”

    “That’s right,” said one of the black ladies softly.

    “So if you wanted a slogan that the Klan could understand and use to recruit with, well, brother, that’s it. So that slogan is either the worst kind of stupidity or the bastard who thought it up is trying to separate you from your natural allies or get you killed, or both. I can’t think of another slogan more calculated to get an American Hitler elected, and I HATE Nazis.”

    Everybody was quiet now, but I thought, what the heck, might as well give ’em the whole sermon.

    “And I’ll tell you something else” (I’m always telling somebody something else), “when I see these black racists of Farrakhan’s bunch talking about wanting a race war I’d say they haven’t looked at how the numbers stack up. Because let me tell you something about white folks at their worst. When they get scared that people are trying to kill them just because of who they are, when they get pissed off along racial lines, they don’t tear up their own neighborhoods or burn down their own communities like y’all do. They come to the neighborhoods of the people who threaten them and burn THEIR communities down and kill THEM. They have burned down whole CONTINENTS. And if you don’t believe me, just ask the Indians. So before you wear a slogan like THAT,” (and I pointed at his shirt), “you’d better think this shit through. If you manage to make this all about race and some American Hitler decides to put y’all on railroad cars leading to some camp, me and my white-assed friends will have to be the ones out blowing up the train tracks to keep that from happening, and I’ll tell you, I’d really rather stay home than get shot at because somebody was stupid enough to buy into some racist’s idea of how to view the world.”

    I concluded: “This ain’t about black or white, it’s about good versus evil and ALL lives matter.” “And,” I added, “you forget that at your own peril.” It seemed like a good time time to walk away, so I did, leaving the cart behind. As I walked off, one of the black ladies said, “DAMN!”

  10. Sorry, Uncle Al, but his nice thoughts belong to a past era…before just about every *other* “tribe” decided to look out for themselves. On top of which, for every 1 of those semi-sensible people, there are 100 who will slam your head 3 sentences into your speech. NO THANKS.

    You want to be the Lone Ranger to have Tonto tell you, What you mean ‘we’, paleface?” (as the joke goes), go right ahead…but not me. Culture has its own current, and clinging onto what you want it to be (rather that what it is) leads to placing yourself in situations that can be anywhere from counterproductive to lethal.

  11. @Czar of Defenestration – I’m trying to see what you saw that left you with the idea Vanderboegh’s thoughts were “nice”. He seemed to be issuing a dark and ominous warning, and was not at all being nice about it.

  12. Uncle Al,
    I have met and talked with Mike Vanderboegh in Colorado Springs. I Remember reading that post over at Sipsey St. Irregulars. I was glad when Mikes son Matt took over the web site. Then, as you know, Matt spiked the guns at Sipsey St. I guess Mike never got his book, ABSOLVED, published. I miss Mike and his clear thinking. Never have heard anything about Rosies well being.

  13. TO AL – “Warning”?!? PFFFT!!! Simple: Mike was trying to appeal to the black guy with REASONING. STUPID 99.99% of the time. Sure, this guy was “nice.” In more cases than not, Mike would have been killed/assaulted on the spot for opening his mouth…this was an EXCEPTION.

    Again: He tried to appeal to the grey matter of his listener (but you NEVER know what “the other guy” is thinking). The a$$h*le could have well pulled out a pistol and shot him…Vanderboegh’s right front pocket notwithstanding. His so-called “warning” more likely would have gotten him in a pool of blood, if the listener was “in the mood” and had the means.

    But PLEASE: feel free to keep on with the Reginald Denny “can’t we all get along?” fantasies…your call.

    TODAY is NOT yesterday.
