Outrage, Inc: How the Liberal Mob Ruined Science, Journalism, and Hollywood

    Let me be frank, there’s nothing in Derek Hunter’s book that I haven’t heard already, there are plenty of articles on frivolous libtards and snowflakes in every magazine, from Mother Jones to the National Review. What makes this book so good is the humor; according to the author, People Magazine and Time Magazine were for gossip and news, respectively, but in this day and age you can’t tell them apart. It’s kind of like when A&E started airing the shows Dog the Bounty Hunter and The Two Coreys; at that point I realized the American IQ had been damaged. Then you have the split in the American attitude, where the conservative only wants to feed the kids, while the liberal points to a huge house and says “that’s not fair.” I can tell this is not going to go well, but the author’s humor is a big help.

    In Chapter 1, he starts with The Crazy Factory, where Africa is saved by the peanut and American kids all have an allergy to peanuts (a first world problem, perhaps?) when it happens to have all the fat and minerals that the kids need. Then you have the scientist Tim Hunt, who lost his job in 2001 over a sexist remark, but 17 years later, a remark like that would cost you everything. Recently, we  had the Evergreen State College fiasco, where liberal professor Bob Weinstein was driven out by hostile students and spineless administrators. All he did was criticize a protest. All he did was criticize the idea of keeping White students off the campus for the day. All he did was say that keeping White students off the campus was racist segregation. Keep in mind. Dr. Weinstein was always a staunch liberal. It makes you think.

   Derek Hunter also discusses how the media is reporting false stories, and I don’t mean the Rape on Campus article in Rolling Stone, but reports of rape, racist attacks, and gay-bashing that aren’t true. Phony accusations make it harder to investigate real crimes, and ruins the relationship between the citizens, the police, the judges, and the press. The author blames faulty fact-checking, combined with show hosts – like John Oliver – who masquerade as serious journalists. Nobody fact-checks John Oliver, nor Beyonce, Kanye, the Kardashian sisters, or any other celebrity skank whom the media chases for political opinion. Most of these celebrities, if not in the performing arts, get famous thanks to outrageous antics.

    There are books about solutions to these problems, like America’s Way Back, Rebooting the American Dream, and The Vanishing American Adult, all of which advocate letting the kids lose. Discard the fairness. Discard the “everyone gets a trophy” mentality. Don’t point to the huge house and say “that’s unfair.” Teach your kids that everyone succeeds on their own merits. And then maybe the authorities, like the college administrators, will stop coddling liberal thugs who behave like Nazis. William F. Buckley used to call the right-wing militias “pot bellies lacking a casus belie,” and I think that applies to the “students” at Evergreen State now. They’re lazy kids, who’ve never had jobs, and want to feel powerful.

Somehow, when it comes to wanting to feel powerful, any American who served in the military or has a full-time job doesn’t want for that feeling.
