I’m still pouring over it.

The Left knows that perception is very powerful, as is the image of social rejection (and no one can do it like SJW) - all underpinned by lies.

Of course, it is a basic part of their MO. Look at all the fake hate-crimes on campuses, the huge outcry and marches and counseling and mandated classes and national media coverage.... then when its learned who really did it.... *crickets*

Although recently there was one where the victim was Muslim, and the perps were too, Muslim leftwing activists. The victim made it clear that the campus authorities knew who did it even before the media coverage and stuff. The radical left, academia and media working hand in glove to shape perceptions.

Yes. This is the pattern.

It would be good if his actions opened some more eyes.

Exposure is good for spreading the truth.

National geographic has gone all to hell in the past 20 or perhaps more years. They don’t even pretend to do the research. They are in the Algore “the discussion is over...we declare anthropomorphic climate change and you better if you don’t want to live in a concentration camp “ brand of science.

But Firefly was wonderful. (Even though River did exactly as you say)

I refused to pay to see Avatar. I didn’t need some Canadian doooosh to criticize American military as being criminal usurpers of sovereign nations that just wanted to be left alone

I waited years till I realized my public library had the blue ray in stock. Watching it proved my original thoughts on the movie were correct. It is just a PC hit piece on America

I'm certain they changed the name because they had no intention of broadcasting anything but Fi devoid of all Sci.

Ghosts? Fiction.
Sharknado? Fiction.
Vampires? Fiction.
Werewolves? Fiction.

Where's all the Sci?

I haven't watched that channel in ages. Nothing but garbage. Although, I see that Stargate Continuum is on today. I guess they're still throwing the occasional bone to us diehards.

I loved 1632 from Baen. Unfortunately, the author falls for the “rightwingers are anti-everything” meme. Other than that, it’s quite entertaining.

What is that from? It’s quite well written.

Eric Flint (who began the 1632 series) isn’t known as “The Red” for nothing. He’s pretty much an unrepentant Socialist of the unionista variety.

I’ve been watching Baen pretty closely since Jim died, particularly since Flint took over. I haven’t seen a lot of editorial movement, but I think thats because their top line writers are very well established and probably not that susceptable to bullying. The newer authors tho, won’t have that advantage - we’ll see where Baen is in another 10-15 years or so.

Aside: I love the 1632 series as well. Altho Flint does seem to increasingly fall victim to the pie-in-the-skiers out in the tech forum who want to advance the tech way too fast).

It's not just Sci-Fi, but the current fiction in general I can no longer read, for the same reason. Everything seems to have a feminist or left-wing agenda.
Also comic books.
