15 Myths Millennials Accept as Fact
Taki's ^ | 6/13/14

15 Myths Millennials Accept as Fact Last week an everyday group of anti-gun nuts called Everytown published data that claimed there have been 74 school shootings since Sandy Hook. Most of us went, “No there haven’t,” because we’ve only read about a few. The president apparently does not have access to Google, because he ran straight to the papers and bleated, “There’s no developed country on earth that would put up with this. And it happens now once a week … We should be ashamed.” He’s accidentally right. We should be ashamed of these shootings. Gang violence among black youth is totally out of control and the lack of fathers has to be a factor. That’s obviously not the narrative he was going for, however. He was more likely going for the same old “evil, white, American patriarchy” garbage we were all taught in school.

So let’s take a step back and explain to children and the president of the United States that most of the truths they take for granted are completely false. For example …

1. THIS COUNTRY WAS STOLEN FROM THE INDIANS

We fought them for 400 years. They fought against us, alongside us, and behind us. Before we got here they were fighting each other, and yes, it was savage. War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage describes horrific mass graves from way before we got here. Indians used to shoot arrows into their victims for hours after the guy died so he’d be ****ed in the afterlife. The smallpox blankets were likely a myth. The worst we behaved was probably Wounded Knee but the reason everyone knows about it is because it was meticulously documented by outraged whites who were—and still are—disgusted by our behavior there.

“This country was built on legal immigration, and the ones who made it through learned the language and assimilated. … Today’s scenario is 15 million illegals ridiculing those of us who played by the rules.”

2. WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS

No, we’re not. We’re a nation of citizens. This country was built on legal immigration, and the ones who made it through learned the language and assimilated. Many didn’t get in. Today’s scenario is 15 million illegals ridiculing those of us who played by the rules. My green card took 15 years to get and I brought a ton of jobs with me. The Statue of Liberty doesn’t say “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and all their relatives.”

Oh, and don’t give me that old “They’re doing jobs Americans won’t do” line. They’re doing jobs Americans won’t do—for that price. In Canada, there are no Mexicans and the landscaping still gets done. We use teenagers.

3. THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON SLAVERY

Yeesh, this old trope. Some rich Southerners had slaves. Then there was a civil war and America’s bank account dropped to zero. After that the country was rebuilt from scratch without slavery. As Pat Buchanan put it, we didn’t start slavery. We ended it. And don’t get me started on reparations. We’ve already paid them.

4. AMERICA IS RACIST

I’ve already gone through this. I highly recommend you cut out this monitoring hate speech crap. I’m warning you, you’re going to end up censoring the people you’re trying to protect. Studies show that white people are actually the least racist group. Getting rid of all the racists would mean America would be almost all white. Therefore, fighting racism is racist.

5. BLACK YOUTH ARE TARGETED BY WHITE MEN

Zimmerman was a statistical anomaly but that didn’t stop everyone and their dog from wearing a hooded sweatshirt and Tweeting all about it. Black youth are in danger but it’s not Jews from Peru who are killing them.

6. WOMEN MAKE LESS THAN MEN

Obama Tweeted this old wives’ tale recently. Does anyone in the White House have a ****ing computer? Women choose to make less than men because they’d rather be at their daughter’s piano recital than stay at the office all night working on a proposal. When they don’t have kids, they actually make more than men. If women were cheaper labor, we’d hire them as often as we hire illegal aliens.

On The Independents recently, Jill Filipovic told me that resumes with female names do worse than the same ones with male names. I’m willing to accept that, but it’s not prejudice. It’s postjudice. Employers have noticed their male employees are more likely to stay at the office all night working, even when their daughter does have a piano recital.

7. PRO-LIFERS ARE SEXIST

Most women are pro-life. To ignore their rights while touting abortion is sexist. Also, gender-based abortion is becoming more popular. We’ve seen how that goes for women in China. It ain’t pretty. So stop using abortion rights as some kind of proof there’s a war on women when the opposite is true.

8. TRANNIES ARE WOMEN

Whether you cut your dick off or just start saying “I’m a woman,” that doesn’t mean you’re a woman. That trivializes what it is to be a woman. These mythical creatures can create life. You can’t just throw on a wig and yell “Me too.” That’s sexist.

9. GAYS LEAD THE SAME LIVES WE DO

I’ve heard Jon Stewart say this and it often comes up when discussing gay marriage and adoption. Do any of these people know any fags? They are perfectly wonderful human beings with whom I spend much of my time, but they are also hair-whiteningly decadent. They call me an amateur for having participated in a couple threesomes. They’ve had dozens of eightsomes.

10. CHRISTIANS ARE ANTI-SCIENCE

Maybe one in ten Americans believes the earth is only a few thousand years old, and most of those people are old ladies and dirt-poor farmers. They’re not shutting down schools and canceling Cosmos. The other 90% of us are totally okay with the big bang theory. Even the pope supports it. We understand there’s evolution and an incredible universe. We just think God is the one who set the whole thing up.

Also, if you love science so much, stop refusing vaccinations for your kid. You’re literally making us sick.

11. WE NEED FREE HEALTH CARE

Not so fast. Have you seen the way this administration handles money? We’re 17 trillion in the hole. That’s a lot. Seventeen trillion seconds ago we were cavemen trying to figure out fire. This country is rife with severe obesity and millions upon millions of illegals. We don’t have the cohesion that other free health care countries have, so this perfectly reasonable idea may be impossible.

12. THE EARTH IS DYING

There is a lot of evidence that says the earth is warming but not a ton of conclusive evidence that it’s our fault or that the warming is a bad thing. We keep hearing about a consensus but it’s ecologists, not real scientists. What all the experts and politicians really agree on is that we need more funding to pay them to look into this terrible problem.

13. THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE

The air has never been cleaner. We’ve never lived longer. Crime is at an all-time low. By virtually every possible metric, life has never been better. Yes, there was a school shooting recently. That doesn’t change the hatefact that schools have never been safer. Traveling, eating, fornicating, fighting—all safer than ever. The list goes on and on. I saw a homeless man today checking his iPhone while he asked for change! Does anyone in this country not have a TV? If you think things were so much better back then, get in a time machine and go there. Make sure you get your shots first though. God help you if you get sick.

14. DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH

When it comes to restaurants this is true, and that is why people always use restaurants to prove it. By any other standard, it tends to go pretty badly. I’m a race mixer but our family has decided to err toward Western values more than the American Indian ones because the West is the best. Assimilation leads to a sense of fraternity and that means a cohesive society. You ever see a wave pool in Japan? They are packed in there like sardines but they don’t mind because they’re all the same. When integration is discouraged you get Balkanization and we saw what happened in the Balkans. They played soccer with human heads.

15. WE’RE ALL EQUAL

You know there’s retards, right? You realize the children of geniuses tend to be smarter than the children of stupid people, yeah? This is why they ask sperm donors questions. That’s what happens when idealists have to practice what they preach. They scoff at eugenics until it’s time to make a baby. They love the gay lifestyle until their son brings home a tranny. They love diversity until it’s time to choose a place to live or a school for their children. They pretend we’re all equal but they insist the government enforce this because they secretly know it isn’t true and in fact see themselves as superior to everyone else. They’re free to think that, but before going on a rant about it, maybe they should look it up first. Better yet, shut up and leave us alone.

Gee, it seems that Louis Pasteur who was born some twenty five years after your Lord Amherst died, stole all that knowledge about germs and such that Lord Amherst had at his fingertips. I don’t know how the smallpox blankets deal could be true if it took another fifty or sixty years before anyone even thought about germ theory.

Before anyone of letters wrote about it. Considering that a theory had better be very defensible before being presented, it is difficult to ascertain whether anyone had thought of germ theory prior to it being presented and accepted.

However, you don't have to be a genius to figure out if you give blankets that belonged to people who got sick and died to people who subsequently get the same sickness and die, something in the blankets will make people sick.

To me, it seems like there's only a very few people left who even care how bad things are getting....and barring an utter miracle, there doesn't seem to be a way to reverse it.

Yes it is all a matter of degree. Evil has been with us since the beginning, but the level of deceit has increased so much that the left doesn't even care any more whether their lies are exposed. When they are discovered... they just muddy the waters by making up more.

I don’t know how the smallpox blankets deal could be true if it took another fifty or sixty years before anyone even thought about germ theory.

Edward Jenner invented the smallpox vaccine in 1798, the year after Lord Jeff died and 24 years before Pasteur was born.

You didn't need the germ theory to observe that smallpox was communicable. Nor did you need it to observe that persons who had had cowpox tended not to get smallpox. Of course, it did take the likes of Jenner to figure out that you could protect people from smallpox by deliberately exposing them to cowpox.

We weren’t built on immigration, we were were built by the generations who created the nation, there was very little immigration from 1770 to 1830, as we were creating the nation and the American identity.

Pretty good, but one correction, about the smallpox blankets. They were real, used in New England-- by the British. Lord Jeffry Amherst, a British colonial governor and Indian fighter, who was fed up with Indian raiding parties and attacks on outlying farms, decided to take radical action. He was rewarded by having a college named after him.

First, that was before America existed, and second, prove it to historians, even that single claim about a single individual is not proven.

Gavin's a funny guy.

You can see him on Red Eye.

George Zimmerman wasn't Jewish, though.

And if diversity isn't "our strength" could it be that things really are getting worse?

Amherst, a town that has become a liberal hell.

There is one in Western NY that is a liberal hell as well. Unless that is the one your are already talking about.

Diversity is where nations go to die.

You don’t call sodomite “marriage” and the US government forcing perverted sex acts on the rest of the country as deviate behavior. When has the United States ever condoned such immoral garbage. George Washington and the other Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves. The American Medical Association since it’s inception classified homosexuality for exactly what it is, a mental disorder, until the radical sodomites got to them then the meaning was changed. All the sudden nothing wrong with sodomy. I could go on and on. Nothing is as deviate as a man having anal sex with another man and the Federal government legalizing perversion and saying they can now get “married”. Ever saw a baby come through the anus into this world?

Of course, it did take the likes of Jenner to figure out that you could protect people from smallpox by deliberately exposing them to cowpox.

Exactly. We presume that people in the past, even those in even more ancient times were totally ignorant and not capable of observing basic cause and effect. Granted, before Jenner and others discovered how disease pathogens; how viruses and bacteria caused disease and exactly how they were transmitted, people knew that if you were in close contact with someone who was sick or even in contact with the deceased body or just with their soiled bedding and clothing, that there was a good likelihood that you would also fall ill.

Before “germ theory” was fully understood, before microscopes were developed and bacteria and viruses identified as disease causing pathogens, people understood the basic concept of disease transmission even if they didn’t understand the science involved.

Not all that long ago, it was presumed that “bad vapors”, i.e. bad smells, i.e. “bad vapors” were to blame for many diseases and while that wasn’t exactly correct, it wasn’t all that far off.

Doctors in the Middle Ages during the great plagues, they used robes and masks and even gloves like this when treating plague victims:

The deviant behavior you speak of existed throughout human civilization, including during the time of the Founding Fathers. In fact, it was more prevalent in earlier times. Just study the Roman Empire for example.

It was never legalized. There ABSOLUTELY was never sodomite “marriage”. Never in the history of mankind.
