A week after the Hollywood incident last week has pushed it to "old news" on my Youtube feed. If one is going to make a video about it, it now requires a catchy phrase and a unique angle that hasn't been hashed to death already.
We seem to have made it through the phase of deciding collectively whether the assaulter was in the right or the wrong, whether he should be praised or condemned. The decision, after some handwringing and hemming-and-hawing, was finally on the side of saying the now Oscar-winning actor was in the wrong and should be condemned. When he wife, Jezebel incarnate, went against him then his fate was sealed, since one could rally around the aggrieved Dark Feminine with delicious righteousness for defending m'lady's sacred honor.
The public debate was significant because such discussions effectively have taken the place of the ancient procedure of Common Law in regard to the "lawfulness" of personal actions. That is, in this incident, we as a society had to make a decision on the rightness-or-wrongness for this particular circumstance, and this should apply across our society. Individuals must take their cue for their own behavior from this decision. If the assaulter was in the right, then it sets a precedent as such. Likewise if he was in the wrong.
As I said, what the elite wanted to say is that such actions as described are righteous if done by a famous actor of color, but are not righteous if undertaken by mere plebes in the hinterland. They came close to saying this, but it is still unacceptable to say this aloud. The implications of saying it was "ok" for him to have done what he did was too huge. What might it unleash, to endorse his violence. Being unable to parse the situation based on fame and race, as they wanted, they had to retreat (with wife Jezebel's endorsement) into condemnation of the man in question. Now begins his spiral downward, as the marginal wafflers can now pile onto him, and condemn with the fury, knowing their condemnations will be cheered on by the peers on social media.
My final take for now is that the whole incident is remarkable in showing that Hollywood still has the ability to entertain us and distract us from such big events as an ongoing war. The war, for a few days, was pushed off the headlines, and people stumble back towards the newsfeed filled with outrage-producing snippets designed to channel our hate towards the correct targets, the emotions don't have quite the same punch-in-the-face effect that they did just two weeks ago. Already we are tired of the war. We got our righteousness fix out of it. It isn't going like we want. Honeyputin don't care about your tears and protests. You have no power over him.
The attention of public debate has swung hard towards the proposed legislation in Florida that would ban schoolteachers from initiating secret, private discussions with their students about the fun that can be had via genital stimulation. Surprisingly this seems to be the hill that the entire Woke Revolution is going to die on, its massive all-out Rainbow Flag Pickett's Charge. Thus of us who were clued in have known for years that all of this will eventually boil down to the insistent demand on their part to have sex with children. That is the Unholy Grail, and always has been. At this point, they see it within sight. They can almost taste the cursed forbidden wine within it.
As I see the entire "movement" of the Left struggle to rally around a boycott of Florida, I am cheered by knowing that the End of their revolution must be in sight. They cannot retreat from this, as the fragility of their entire paradigm from a historical point of view--genderfluidity and all that--means that any compromise on their part with the forces of reactionary anti-Rainbowism is, by their own standards, a form of hate.
Pity them. There is nowhere for them to go but off the cliff into oblivion. They Big Turning Point is almost here. We are already seeing young women refusing to compete against males in their sports competitions. Young women are the most sentimental segment of society, susceptible to the most weepy forms of Wokism against perceived "victims", however self-proclaimed they are, and despite any horrible concomitant effects on society, which is the kind of reasoning young people, especially young women, are not capable of following. The feelings of the immediate moment must always prevail, and moreover, all must be in agreement. The force of the feminine is always towards enforcing a consensus. We say this in the commmunist front Black Lives Matter protests that forced young women down on one knee during the national anthem. How brave were the one who stood. Being a young woman who goes against the female consensus takes a great deal of strength, much more than for a young man, who often relish being against the consensus of their peers. Most young women rebel only against their elders, never their peers.
At some point, almost overnight, nearly all the young women in sports will refuse to compete against men. The consensus among them will flip like a magnetic field. When it does, the Woke Movement can be declared dead. They cannot recover from this moment which is inevitable and perhaps sooner than we think. From that moment forward, every aspect of the issue of the Rainbow movement will have to evaluated on a case-by-case basis, rather than getting the blanket automatic endorsement of righteousness. Woke cannot survive this case-by-case scrutiny. It needs victory without thought. It has gotten used to that, of always getting its way no matter what, simply by labeling its opponents as haters.
I pity the Woke. How miserable they are going to be going forward. Nothing has satisfied them even in their victories, because the only thing that matters is that their opponents go silent or simply die. Their opponents have refused to be silent or die. Now the Woke will no longer even have their victories. Much whining and tears are coming their way, and there is nothing they can do about it.
