“Here’s Your Dollop Of Freedom, Peasant”
Berkeley – afraid that the generation of Orwellian “social” “jusitice” thugs they’ve raised will throw another costly tantrum at being faced with dissent – cancels speech by Ann Coulter. Then, getting a wave of negative feedback, they rescheduled it – at a time when nobody could actually go: Coulter had been booked for April 27,…

There Is No Space Safe From The Social Justice Cheka
Purdue hires a social justice warrior to head its engineering program. While overt sexism and homophobia are less common than historically, they still play out in ways that are subtle and, therefore, insidious and hard to combat. How do you see this happening in the sciences, and how do you deal with it? One…

Shame In? Shame Out!
THEM: “The only reason you didn’t vote for Obama was because he’s black!” US: “Er, yeah, right. Because if a while socialist were running or office, I’d vote for him because he was white. Right? That’s freaking ingenious! You must be one of those ‘smart liberals’ everyone keeps talking about”. THEM: “The alt-right is an outlet for…

New Years Resolutions For MTV And Other Ofay Social Justice Warriors
A week back, I linked to the fairly noxious MTV video showing a raft of millennials giving “white guys” a series of “new years resolutions”. I’m not going to display it again – once was plenty. But I figure, one good turn deserves another. I’ve got some resolutions for Social Justice Warriors to observe for…

The First “Trump 2020” Campaign Ad
After an election where Identity Politics generated an identity politics backlash that overwhelmed the Identity Politicians, MTV News triples down with perhaps the most textbook example of tone-deafness in a movement that can’t carry a tune in a bucket in the first place. Broad, ofay stereotyping is now good, apparently: “White guys”. Huh. Because an…

Appropriate
Why, no, Ms. Social Justice Warrior, I’m not appropriating Latino culture by eating a burrito. This is a Pølse – a lefse (potetkakke, to be precise) wrapped around meat, vegetables and sauces to taste. Not a freaking burrito. Check your privilege. We have offically hit Peak Social Justice: In a piece for the Patriot, the school’s…

If You Have Ice Cream, I Shall Give You Ice Cream; If You Have None, I Shall Take It Away
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Just because you can’t pay your mortgage is no reason not to give you a mortgage. That was the thinking behind CRA and it caused the housing crisis that tanked the economy for the last 10 years. Seeing how well that worked, Social Justice Warriors in Seattle are expanding…

Return Of The DFL Dictionary
One of the features that originally put this blog on the map was “The DFL Dictionary” – a list of the Democrat party’s perversions of the English Language. It occurs to me – the feature hasn’t been updated in close to eight years. So today I’m going to start working on an update New Terms:…

You Win Some, You Lose Some
My new hero; the Lyft driver who told “Feminist” tyrant (and supremely annoying “human”) Annaliese Nielsen where to stuff her virtue-signalling: Why is it so vital to resist the Wahhabi Social Justice Warrior? Because they kill people. UPDATE: Commenter Seflores notes something that I’d missed the first time about Ms. Nielsen: Coincidence? I think not.…

Virtue Whistles
SCENE: Mitch BERG is shopping in the dairy aisle at Target in Roseville. Suddenly, Avery LIBRELLE rounds the corner. With LIBRELLE is Ashley FIGG, a young woman of apparently mixed but minority-ish ethnicity. LIBRELLE: Merg! It’s time for you to admit your privilege! BERG: OK. I was born into an intact family…

Settled Science
When I was a kid, the world’s social justice warrior crowd warned us that the world was headed for inevitable catastrophic famine. Some of the very voices behind “global warming” today – Paul Ehrlich springs to mind – warned (and profited greatly from warning) us that India would be down to under 100 million people…

A Tale Of Two Rallies
Yesterday was Minnesota Gun Owners Lobbying Day – where Real Minnesotans came together to lobby their legislators to pass Second-Amendment-friendly legislation, and shun the stupid bills that Michael Bloomberg is paying for. And since the legislature was busy talking about all the bills they were introducing, the other side – to the extent you could…

Defining Hate Down
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Bad news: Shot In The Dark failed to make the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of hate groups again this year. There are only six hate groups in Minnesota. A chapter of the KKK somewhere Up North. Not sure how they found them, I never heard of them. Vinlanders…

Help Me Out Here
To: Colgate From: Mitch Berg, Uppity Peasant Re: Your Super Bowl Ad Colgate, So I watched the teaser for your Super Bowl spot: I get it. There’s big money in appealing to the altruism of the soft-core social justice warrior. There’s a whole generation of Millennials out there who are impressed by symbols. And I…

The New Book-Burners
The National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) is stumping for the University of St. Thomas to get rid of Theresa Collett, an outspoken pro life law professor and former congressional candidate. In case you missed that in the first paragraph; NARAL is plumping it’s well-heeled legions of social justice warriors to get rid of a…
