Good News: White Robots Are Raaaaacist

By William Teach August 1, 2019 – 3:00 pm

You just knew this SJW hot take was coming at some point, right?

This bat guano is actually in the business section

Have you ever noticed the popularity of white robots?

You see them in films like Will Smith’s “I, Robot” and Eve from “Wall-E.” Real-life examples include Honda’s Asimo, UBTECH’s Walker, Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, and even NASA’s Valkyrie robot. All made of shiny white material. And some real-life humanoid robots are modeled after white celebrities, such as Audrey Hepburn and Scarlett Johansson.

Or, it could be that they are actually easier to see on screen, and black robots tend to be the bad guys, which has nothing to do with skin color, just rooted in an old notion that bad guys wear black. Oh, and Wall-E wasn’t white. There were also plenty of other colored robots, such as the Transformers. The Cylons were silver. C3PO was golden. Robby the Robot was gray. The robots in the movie Robots were various colors. The 100 greatest robots in movies has plenty who aren’t. And for those which are played by humans, well, white people make up the majority of the population. Of course movies aim for them.

The reason for these shades of technological white may be racism, according to new research.

“Robots And Racism,” a study conducted by the Human Interface Technology Laboratory in New Zealand (HIT Lab NZ) and published by the country’s University of Canterbury, suggests people perceive physically human-like robots to have a race and therefore apply racial stereotypes to white and black robots.

These colors have been found to trigger social cues that determine how humans react to and behave toward other people and also, apparently, robots.

“The bias against black robots is a result of bias against African-Americans,” lead researcher Christoph Bartneck explained to The Next Web. He told CNN, “It is amazing to see how people who had no prior interaction with robots show racial bias towards them.”

So, wait, is Bartneck saying that when blacks have a negative reaction to white robots, meaning they’re racists? Huh.

Everything is just stupid today. People are just making things up to create Controversy and make people into Victims.

Hot Take: Trump’s “Racist” Tweets Show We Need The Green New Deal

By William Teach August 1, 2019 – 10:30 am

Warmist logic, you guys

Trump’s Racist Tweets Show How Much We Need The Green New Deal — #WeAreBaltimore

I’m mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take it anymore. I’m sick of being politely disheartened by our #fakepresident. Yes, it’s been embarrassing to have a buffoon represent the US at international summits. Sure, Trump’s professed conservatism in the face of expanded spending sends my hypocrisy meter through the proverbial roof. But it’s his horrific, overt racism that is making me stand up and say loudly, “#WeAreBaltimore!” And, in doing so, I’m declaring social justice as a sister to economic justice. We need the Green New Deal because it rights historical wrongs committed against indigenous communities and other marginalized groups as a core tenet to curb climate change.

This president is part of a larger Koch Brothers’ inspired plan to reinforce hegemonic national policies of division, alienation, and oppression, and climate action in the form of a Green New Deal could shatter years of this insidious behind-the-scenes propaganda. It’s become clear that racism, sexism, and xenophobia, which mark Trump’s worldview and legacy, are unalterably connected to his puppeteers’ fear of climate change. In a Trump-centric future, it will be the most powerful who will survive, profit, and thrive — because of a worst-case climate scenario, not in spite of it.

So, pretty much, the GND is a farce, masquerading as something to do with ‘climate change’ when it’s really all about SJW garbage.

Let’s not allow Trump’s racist attacks to galvanize white blue-collar voters, as so many claim. Instead of 4 more years of “s–hole” leadership, we need a US president who will protect the rights and lives of all people in the US.

And the starting point is a Green New Deal that will create new federal policies to prioritize low-income areas and communities of color.

Would this be the GND that the House refuses to vote on, and almost ever single Democratic Senator voted “present” on?  The more we learn about the GND the more we find out its true intentions. The more the supporters expose their real beliefs and real agenda.

We Can Solve ‘Climate Change’ By Putting Government Fully In Control Of All Water Or Something

By William Teach August 1, 2019 – 7:54 am

Is there anything that members of the Cult of Climastrology do not want Big Government to control? Other than abortion on demand, of course

If we want to solve climate change, water governance is our blueprint

The phrase “fail to prepare or prepare to fail” comes to mind as we enter an era in which governments and communities must band together to mitigate climate change. Part of what makes our next steps so uncertain is knowing we must work together in ways that we have – so far – failed to do. We either stall, or offer up “too little, too late” strategies.

These strategies include cap-and-trade economic incentive programmes, like the Kyoto Protocol and other international treaties. Insightful leaders have drawn attention to the issue, but lukewarm political will means that they are only able to defer greenhouse gas emissions-reduction targets in the future. A global crisis demands global commitment. How can we work together to face a universal threat? What of the complex challenges that demand unified monitoring and responses?

Who says we want to work together?

One principal impediment is the lack of coherent technical infrastructure.

Currently, our arsenal for facilitating collective action is understocked. Our policies are unable to invoke tide-turning change because they lack a cohesive infrastructure. In the absence of satisfactory tools to make them happen, our policies and pledges become feelgood initiatives rather than reaching full effectiveness. Our clumsy half-attempts continue to bear questionable legacies in places like the city of Flint, Michigan, where residents have been poisoned by decaying infrastructure and siloed water management.1 Or in Sudan, where local agriculture policy is undermined by too-often changing management.

Interestingly, those things a) have nothing to do with ‘climate change’, and b) highlight the incompetence of government.

So what is the first step on our path?

It is the substance that underpins our industry, health and survival. It remains a central source of conflict around the world, yet it also creates partnerships. Our first step is water.

Water challenges us with issues of scarcity, quality and distribution. It may seem to be a local issue, but combined with local tensions and a globalized economy, water governance is set to become one of our greatest tests of diplomatic finesse and technological synergy. If we can properly align local and global water governance and management, we can prepare the tools, the organizational blueprint and the political momentum needed to solve climate change.

For all the gobbledegook in this article, the over-arching theme is to let government heavily control all water at all levels. In fairness, government is heavily involved now, but it is more as a supplier, rather than a controller. Though we did see them attempt it with Obama’s Waters of the USA rule, and some idiot local governments try the “rainwater tax.” Just look at this UN graphic

Biden Has A Plan To Jail Insurance Industry Executives Who Oppose His Obamacare Based Plan

By William Teach August 1, 2019 – 7:39 am

So far, Obamacare is not doing particularly well during the debates, with the majority of the Love Democrat Island coming out against it, saying it was awful and did not work. But, then their is Joe Big F’ing Deal Biden. Remember his plan?

His plan allows illegal aliens to purchase insurance through the exchanges. When does Joe Wilson get an apology? Regardless, you had Excitable Joe Scarborough attacking his now fellow Dems for going after Obama, same with Joy Reid. And Sheriff Joe checked the website number and found a way to ramp up his O-care protection

Joe Biden Calls for Jail Time for Insurance Execs ‘Who Totally Oppose My Plan’

Former Vice President Joe Biden came out as a champion of Obamacare during the second Democratic presidential debate. Yet he went even further, calling for insurance executives “who totally oppose my plan” to be put in jail.

“I have the only plan that limits the ability of insurance companies to charge unreasonable prices, flat out, number one. Number two, we should put some of these insurance executives who totally oppose my plan in jail, for the 9 billion opioids they sell out there,” Biden declared.

While the former vice president may have meant to only target insurance executives ostensibly responsible for the opioid crisis, he actually called for the jailing of execs who “totally disagree” with his plan.

In an era of increasing political polarization, where groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center demonize and ostracize people for disagreeing with their political stances, Biden’s call for the imprisonment of people who disagree with him is not just un-American, it’s dangerous.

Was this just Joe being Joe and misspeaking, or does he mean it? For today’s Democrats, I’d lean toward him meaning it. Democrats seem very casual in their beliefs in ruining people’s lives for opposing the Democrats plans/policies. And even go so far as to criminalize that Wrongthink. You may or may not like what insurance companies do, but, what they are doing is lawful.

He’s also now selling stickers that say “Obamacare: It’s A BFD”. Ocare still polls negatively. And, while we’re on the subject

How Do Celebrities Show Up To A ‘Climate Change’ Conference?

By William Teach July 31, 2019 – 4:38 pm

Some wonder why I constantly and consistently talk about Warmists not practicing what they preach. This is why

From the article

The world’s rich and famous have flocked to a posh Italian resort to talk about saving Mother Earth — but they sure are punishing her in the process.

The billionaire creators of Google have invited a who’s who of A-list names— including former President Barack Obama, Prince Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio and Katy Perry — to the Sicilian seaside for a mega-party they’ve dubbed Google Camp.

The three-day event will focus on fighting climate change — though it’s unknown how much time the attendees will spend discussing their own effect on the environment, such as the scores of private jets they arrived in and the mega yachts many have been staying on. (snip)

Many of the guests, including Obama and DiCaprio — who has his own climate change foundation — have described global warming as the biggest threat to future generations.

But according to Italian press reports, the attendees were expected to show up in 114 private jets, and 40 had arrived by Sunday.

The Post crunched the numbers and found that 114 flights from Los Angeles to Palermo, Italy, where Camp guests landed, would spew an estimated 100,000 kilograms of CO2 into the air. (snip)

Stars there also include Harry Styles, Orlando Bloom, Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller, who arrived on their enormous $200 million yacht Eos, which has both sails and two 2,300-horsepower diesel engines.

Billionaire Dreamworks founder David Geffen, meanwhile, gave Perry and Bloom a ride on his $400 million yacht, Rising Sun.

Also on hand for the environmental gabfest was the megayacht Andromeda, a 351-foot behemoth owned by a New Zealand billionaire and which features its own helipad.

Many of the attendees were seen in photos tooling around the island in high-speed sports vehicles, including Perry, who has made videos for UNICEF about climate change and was seen in a Maserati SUV that gets about 15 mpg city.

These people have no problem (or shame) demanding that Government regulate how you live your life, but, they won’t modify their own big carbon footprint lives. They won’t even pretend.

House Democrats Who Took The Trump Bait Warn Not To Take The Trump Bait

By William Teach July 31, 2019 – 10:43 am

This is advice they should have followed back during the general election season in 2016, but, they’re the people who keep falling for pranks again and again from the same person

Democrats warn of Trump trap

House Democrats up in arms over President Trump’s attacks on minority lawmakers are sounding a warning to their own party heading into the 2020 elections: Don’t take the bait.

While Democrats have rushed to the defense of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the prominent Congressional Black Caucus member Trump has attacked this week, they also sense the president is setting a political trap.

Democrats won the House in 2018 campaigning on health care, income inequality and other legislative priorities, and there is concern that Trump’s rhetoric is designed simply to distract voters from those policy debates.

“I hope we don’t take the bait,” said Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.), the former head of the Black Caucus. “The president always plays the race card when he’s having a bad news cycle. It’s easier to call people names when you don’t have anything else to point to.”

Richmond himself took the bait by labeling it raaaaacist. And Democrats just can’t help themselves. They won’t stop taking the bait. They’ve been warned that Trump is trolling them. Especially with tweets, that are meant to get a rise out of them. Trump may say that “There’s no strategy. I have no strategy. There’s zero strategy”, but, there’s strategy. It’s all part of the master plan, and it keeps working.

“We’ve got so much work to do in Congress. … If we get sucked into this rabbit hole, spending our time reacting to every racist comment, every racist deed that this president has done,” said Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.), trailing off in exasperation.

“I really want us to stay focused. 2020 is coming.”

She took the bait. And they’ll continue taking the bait.

Trump’s Denial Of Hotcoldwetdry Is Criminal Behavior Or Something

By William Teach July 31, 2019 – 7:45 am

What about the stance of people who tell us this is a crisis but never act like it’s a crisis in their own lives, never modifying their own lifestyles?

Climate denial: Donald Trump mimics criminal behaviour when justifying his stance

While much of the world now recognises the need for immediate action, there are still those who question the scientific consensus on climate change and deter efforts to tackle it. As might be expected, they have the attention of US President Donald Trump and his Republican administration.

The Heartland Institute’s International Conference on Climate Change was held at the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC on July 25 2019. The Heartland Institute considers itself one of “the world’s leading free market think-tanks”, which “promotes free market solutions to social and economic problems”. It’s perhaps best known for its climate scepticism.

Discussions at the annual event include disputing scientific observations on climate change, criticising “climate alarmists” and promoting fossil fuels. As the choice of venue might suggest, the arguments made here seem to overlap with what the president and the ruling Republican Party has previously said on climate change.

Does it need mentioning that consensus is not science? That belief is not science? Of course, this isn’t science

From my background studying criminal behaviour, I found something striking about the way Trump justifies inaction on climate change. Through his own words, the president’s arguments mimic patterns in criminal behaviour that criminologists call “techniques of neutralisation”.

Criminologists contend that criminals use techniques of neutralisation to help deny or justify a crime they have committed. These five techniques were first defined in 1964 from the types of arguments given by young people in the criminal justice system when justifying their actions.

  1. Denial of responsibility – it is not the offender’s fault.
  2. Denial of injury of harm – the crime does not cause significant harm or may have positive results.
  3. Denial of victim – there is no clear victim.
  4. Condemnation of the condemner – the offender criticises the criminal justice system to avoid criticism of the offender.
  5. Appeal to higher loyalties – deviant behaviour was in aid of a greater good or to benefit someone else.

And how does this specifically apply to Trump and Warmists?

  1. Denial of responsibility – climate change is happening, but humans aren’t the cause.
  2. Denial of injury or harm – there’s no significant harm caused by human action and there may even be some benefits.
  3. Denial of victim – there’s no climate change and so no victims, but if such victims of climate change victims existed, they’d deserve to be victimised.
  4. Condemnation of the condemner – climate change research is misrepresented by scientists, and manipulated by the media, politicians and environmentalists.
  5. Appeal to higher loyalties – economic progress and development are more important than preventing climate change. This will help protect us from energy poverty and allow developing nations to prosper.

This is all meant to do things: make it easier to make Wrongthink an actual criminal offense, and, second, deflect from the reality that everything they’re whining about as stated by Skeptics is true. Humans aren’t the primary or sole cause. There is no significant harm in a warm period, Mankind tends to do better in them during the Holocene than during the cool periods. The research is manipulated, scaremongered, and ginned up for political purposes. You can’t actually make progress on preventing something that Mankind really isn’t causing that much.

Given the grave consequences of the US doing nothing on climate change, should deflecting blame, sowing uncertainty and condemning experts on such a scale be labelled criminal? I believe that these perceived similarities – between how offenders justify their behaviour to the criminal justice system and how Trump justifies his position on climate change to the world – are no coincidence. We shouldn’t always read ignorance in what Trump says – it might suit him and climate deniers more than we think.

See? This is the road to criminalizing thought.

Sanders Proud His Unaffordable Medicare For All Bill Applies To Illegal Aliens

By William Teach July 31, 2019 – 7:32 am

This stuff may play well with the base during the primaries. How well will it play with the general public during the general election?

Bernie Sanders: ‘Health Care as a Human Right’ Applies to Illegal Aliens

Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) said during the second Democrat presidential debate on Tuesday that he would support giving health care to illegal immigrants.

“I happen to believe that when I talk about health care as a human right, that applies to all people in this country,” Sanders said when asked about the issue by CNN’s debate moderators.

The self-described Democratic socialist added that “under a Medicare for All, single-payer” system, the U.S. could afford such an expense.

Sanders has long supported the position, though nearly 60 percent of Americans oppose giving health care to illegal immigrants, according to a CNN poll from last month.

Later in the debate, Sanders also signaled he was opening to giving free college tuition to illegal immigrants.

Notice that he’s now mentioning “single payer” in the same breath as Medicare for all. Which it is. But Democrats have been reticent to say the truth. How will he pay for it? He thinks that Wall Street and big companies are just going to fork over the money and nothing weird will happen to the economy and pay structures.

Interestingly, all the candidates spent time bashing Obamacare, saying it’s not very good. Weird, right? But, hey, more fun from Bernie

“Medicare-for-all means expanding benefits to include dental care, eyeglasses and hearing aids. I know that because I wrote the damn bill. #DemDebate,” a tweet read.

His team also tweeted his disappointment with former Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., whom he claimed spouted falsehoods about hospitals closing under his health care plan.

The debate came just a day after the Mercatus Center released a study that estimated Sanders’ plan would cost $32.6 trillion over 10 years. By 2031, the costs would reportedly reach nearly 12.7 percent of GDP.

Hmm, so now it also includes dental, eye care, and hearing aids? It may see great, but, it will cause many providers to close shop due to too little reimbursement rates, all while waiting for the government to give them their money.

Then we have $3.2 trillion per year. Under the current budget (which is way too high at $4.76 trillion), they expect to see revenue at $3.65 trillion. So, how would everything else be funded? Unicorns don’t actually exist.
