Unleashing the Power of Mockery on Annoying Social Justice Warriors
Townhall.com ^ | September 21, 2017 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 09/21/2017 5:30:59 AM PDT by Kaslin

In a culture where humorless leftists scolds seek to impose their rule upon us normals by sucking every drop of joy out of life, it is the conservative smartass who is the true subversive. Don’t look to Hollywood’s allegedly edgy comics to zing the zeitgeist – hacky proggy stand-ups and interchangeable liberal late-night hosts are the opposite of rebels, with their dreadfully generic opinions and lockstep jokes designed to get the herd of trained seals that makes up their fish-breathed audience beating their flippers. No, if you want someone who snarks truth to power instead of speaking consensus coastal truth to the powerless, you gotta step to the right.

And Lisa de Pasquale is one of these conserva-revolutionaries, a young woman who is in equal parts funny and fearless. She has a new book dropping, The Social Justice Warrior Handbook: A Practical Survival Guide for Snowflakes, Millennials, and Generation Z, and it does exactly what today’s embattled conservatives need to do – it goes full bull in the progressive china shop.

Lisa is a friend, and her publisher also published my book Conservative Insurgency, so feel free to exercise your natural and proper suspicion that this is mere logrolling and check out the preview before you fork over your money. As I teach my kids, trust no one (This is a family theme – Judge Mom's advice to me after she swore me into the California Bar was “Everybody lies.”). Felonia von Pantsuit might think the central message of 1984 was “Mindlessly obey the ruling caste,” but the undeniable fact is that our institutions have failed us, and no one presuming to speak from authority deserves your unthinking, reflexive trust. Sarcasm and cynicism are not merely appropriate responses to decades of lies and failure by those posing as our betters; they are torches we can now use to burn down the whole rotten edifice of progressive cultural tyranny.

Lisa is all about the arson. With The SJW Handbook, she turns her flamethrower on that most annoying manifestation of liberalism's intellectual bankruptcy and infatuation with tyranny, the Social Justice Warrior. Lisa sums up their twisted world-view thusly: “Every day we see people driving their cars, going to their jobs, spending time with their friends and families. They are oblivious to how they contribute to the problems in America.”

You need to understand that SJWs are the leads in a giant personal psychodrama they want to suck us all into. But they aren’t traditional heroes – they’re far too goofy. Think of SJWs as the nerds in Revenge of the Nerds, except these nerds aren’t sympathetic fringies. They’re malignant manipulators who act like the jocks and want to make the rest of us as miserably friendless and loveless as they are. Instead of giving their victims wedgies, the babbling bullies of the left want to whine us into submission.

These suburban-born aspiring Red Guards aim to lead their own Cultural Revolution from safe havens within academia and deep in the fetid bowels of the internet, but they'd just be yet another group of hapless leftist losers except that they discovered how to exploit a key vulnerability. They learned they can rely upon the dedication to reason and essential decency of normal people to protect them from what should be the painful consequences of their actions. SJWs succeed for one reason, and one reason only – too few people simply burst into laughter when these mayo-loving white people with dreads and daddy issues announce that today they identify as black, or that prominent Jewish conservatives are “Nazis,” or that some women have penises.

SJWs deserve nothing but contempt and the merciless ridicule that goes with it. Yet, sadly, we Americans are usually reflexively too polite to deliver the verbal beatdowns these dorks deserve. Because we are genuinely nice people, we generally assume that other people are acting in good faith even when what they are saying is manifestly idiotic. We tend to think, “Hmmmm, that sounds really insane, but I should give this person the benefit of the doubt and react in a polite manner when she bursts into tears because, she says, my not accepting that men can menstruate is a hate crime.”

What we should think, and say, is “You’re stupid, so stop talking and finish filling my latte order, weirdo.”

SJWs prey on that default presumption of good faith, knowing that normals will assume SJWs sincerely mean whatever idiocy they spew. But the truth is that all this nonsense about microaggressions and such is just a way to impose their fussy control over us. The remedy, as these Millennial morons might say, is for us normals to “get woke” to the SJW okie-doke, and to recognize that their whole deal is to silence us by socially criminalizing anything we say, do, and believe.

Lisa is having none of their nonsense. A long-time veteran of the conservative movement (for years she organized and ran CPAC, the Woodstock for people who yearn to see Mike Pence up close or watch Ted Cruz do an acoustic set), Lisa gets it. But she also gets life – her book Finding Mr. Righteous was an eye-opening and, at times, agonizingly honest look at a young woman's journey in modern America, specifically the conservative world. She knows how to write about people with a particular identity without making it about that identity, so she's the perfect choice to go after nimrods who are nothing but their chosen identity.

And Lisa gets medieval on them.

The SJW Handbook is just that, a faux guide to how to be a crying, bitter baby demanding that mommy and daddy submit to his, her or xir's increasingly ridiculous commands. And by writing it, Lisa provides a template for us to do what we all need to do all the time – see through their lies and strip them of their power by ruthlessly mocking these proto-fascist geebos until they flee back to their safe spaces.

As Lisa writes, “If you’re new to fighting, your best option is the sucker punch.” The SJWs have brilliantly provoked a battle within the Octagon, except the only weapon allowed is the one they excel at using, whiny words (They would so not dig a real fight on us normals’ terms). Sure, they sometimes throw on masks, gather into groups, and start some actual violence, but that only happens on the rare occasions where they vastly outnumber their opponents and the cops are ordered to retreat. When there’s push-back, they fold. It’s all a pose; they aren’t really about violence beyond trying to score with woke sophomorettes by wearing shirts memorializing Cuban butchers. The SJW’s weapons are words, and they depend on our default courtesy to make us respectfully listen to whatever stupid thing they have to say.

That needs to stop. Lisa’s book is a welcome diss track that should motivate us all to provide the proper response to these campus communists and academic anarchists the next time they start flapping their quinoa holes: “Hey jerks, I got your revolution right here.”

Humor in the form of mockery is far more powerful than all the logic in the world.

Why did Mohammed ban mockery of himself?

Review

“SJWs are vital to the movement. Whenever you’re feeling blue, SJWs will start smashing store fronts, seeing ‘microaggresions’ everywhere, demanding college dormitories change their names to create a ‘safe space,’ or some other idea that annoys everybody. Get The Social Justice Warrior Handbook and be happy every day!” (Ann Coulter, Twelve-Time New York Times Bestselling Author)

“As a former Army Special Forces and combat guy, I can tell you there is no greater cause than the fight for your right to be comfortable at all times. Lisa De Pasquale gives SJWs the respect they deserve.” (Terry Schappert, Canine Parent)

“Thanks to decades of less than diverse content from Marvel and DC Comics there are dozens of beloved characters to culturally re-appropriate and gender flip. The Social Justice Warrior Handbook is Virtue Signaling made easy.” (Brett R. Smith, Comic Book Artist and New York Times Bestselling Author, co-author of Thump)

“When it comes to political advice, you should only listen to Hollywood actors like me, but if I’m unavailable, this book will do.” (Nick Searcy, Peabody Award-winning International Film and Television Star)

“I used my white male privilege to be quoted in this book.” (Andrew Schulz, Comedian)

“The Social Justice Warrior Handbook is an invaluable tool for the modern LGBTQIA activist desperate to fight the oppression of pronouns and gender specific bathrooms all while ignoring the barbaric treatment of LGBT people in the Islamic world!” (Chris R. Barron, Gay Activist)

We must guard against this fatal weakness as it will only lead to a further loss of our beloved country's identity. This article is full of truths most often unspoken. We have too many tut-tutters on our side who seek to restrain those of us who would fight the good fight.

Our clownish enemies are easily beaten should we untie our hands from behind our backs. We need to take off our Politeness Man uniforms, ditch the Marquis of Queensbury rule book and take the fight to the enemy. Mock them into submission as you find them. We have the smarter, funnier people on our side. Also the prettier chicks and the manlier men, which is part of their disgruntledness (made up word copyright bagster 2017.)

Turn up your game people, and laugh at these whack jobs. In their face, to their mamas, on the internet. Trump does it. Milo does it. Hell, I do it. You too can do it. Stand with the Donald and...

#MAGA

p.s. LOVE this article, thanks for posting.

They don't like it when the Alinsky rules are turned back on them. They squeal worse than stuck pigs.

We did away with the draft and this is the result. A large segment of a generation who stayed with mommy and daddy way too long and has never had personal responsibility.

There are other root causes certainly, but this could be a major one.

Our people have been too comfortable for too long. The things the other side see as oppression are laughable.

Weak men, weak women, minorities of all stripes bleat that they are oppressed. They have no idea what real oppression is. If they ever come to know, it will be people like us that will save them. People they mock and slander and call us out of our good names.

They are ignorant and weak. We are strong and capable. We must win this victory within the systems that are in place. If we allow those systems to further crumble, we will have to win our victory in the old way.

And the north remembers.

(love me some Game of Throne references, in case you didn't notice.)

Excellent. Thanks for posting.

Mocking the left is my hobby. I have to be a little careful at work (defense contractor) but SJWs shouldn’t be working here anyway! It isn’t “safe!”

I didn’t read the article, but didn’t Alinsky say the worst thing that the left fears most is mockery?

I really don’t think that Trump sets out to do this consciously, or in a calculated way. I think he’s just a man who reacts to people and things very viscerally; and what he feels is instantly on his tongue.

In other words, I think he’s *honest*.

The draft has nothing to do with this. If mommy and daddy want to hatch a little SJW they will find away for them to dodge a draft. Most of the unionized Democrats I knew in the 70s/80s were drafted and served honorably. But they were big time libs even progs.

After so many of the engineers of the Vietnam War later admitted it was a mistake, the draft became indefensible.

I don’t envy young people their environment; they watch older people enjoy things they’ll probably never get. I’m shocked at how many see maintaining and insuring a used car as beyond their means; truly depressing. They just rant and rave without understanding how socialism and liberalism have created this dysfunction...
