Cats, Guns, and National Security

Harry Turtledove's 1985 work, "The Road Not Taken," is the story of an alien race with space travel capability, but no other technology much beyond the Revolutionary War period. They land on 21st-century Earth intending to invade, only to--as would be expected--be sounded defeated by our Earth technology. The idea is that they had discovered a simple method of gravity manipulation for travel far in their past, and it had diverted their attention from other scientific advances. Humans, however, had not made this discovery, and so our science advanced us in virtually every other field. The result is ultimately a human race superior to aliens visiting it. In activist science fiction, which like all areas of literary activism is almost always liberal/Left, humans are generally put down as either inferior or aggressive. When going for social allegory, humans are the stand-in for Whites, with the aliens being other races. By that, Turtledove's story would today be consider...

COMMENT: "' Decolonization': The destruction of White/Western civilization. Just keep it simple."

Lorena (Lorina) Garcia Gordo: Spanish woman who allegedly believes she came here from alternate universe. Probably an exaggerated story of a woman who got some memories confused due to a condition. Probably explains some Mandela Effect things. MY COMMENT : One of the few objective accounts of this story, acknowledging the possibility of it being a giant hoax. The psychological/psychiatric element is also practical. REPLY: " Hi Lee!! Thanks so much for this comment. I agree entirely.. I am truly fascinated by the notion that possibly ALL of our paranormal experience can be explained through anomalistic psychology.. especially in the case of poltergeist hauntings. Thanks so much for watching!

This comedic ad for a conservative/traditionalist series of book for teaching kids has drawn a ton of critical comments from liberals and Leftists. Two themes from which Tea Party-types can learn emerge: 1. You need to check your symbolism, not just go with something that "jes' kinda seems" to fit. One comment said, " This simply HAS to be some The Onion level satire, it makes no sense otherwise. " 2. The big one: One commenter characterizes it as,  “To prevent the brainwashing of children, we must brainwash the children!” In other words, the product actually calls for curtailing (at least in the home) a certain "freedom" in order to counter an opposing agenda. Looking at the website linked to where the books are sold , it does indeed read like a Teabrainish--well-meaning, but Teabrainish--effort to combat SJW Wokeness and such. And truly, it is a case of parents pushing their own positions on their children will literally banning (in their home) oth...

COMMENT (with addition in bold added here): Conservatives are harder on the Far Right than they are the Far Left. Even then, Nazi Germany was easier to oppose than the "workers' paradise" of the USSR. And today, some conservatives will openly call for allying with Leftist Socialists to oppose what they label "fascist"--that is, any nationalist movement of a White/Western nation or people not subjecting itself to PC White Guilt. We call these people, "NeverTrumpers."
