Everything You Should Know About Karl Marx

The anti-capitalist scholar’s ideas are often memed (and probably more prevalent than you think).

teenvogue.com2,135 people are talking about this

“The anti-capitalist scholar’s ideas are often memed,” so we should all pay attention:

You may have come across communist memes on social media. The man, the meme, the legend behind this trend is Karl Marx, who developed the theory of communism, which advocates for workers’ control over their labor (instead of their bosses). The political philosopher turned 200-years-old on May 5, but his ideas can still teach us about the past and present.

…

While you may not necessarily identify as a Marxist, socialist, or communist, you can still use Karl Marx’s ideas to use history and class struggles to better understand how the current sociopolitical climate in America came to be. Instead of looking at President Donald Trump’s victory in November 2016 as a snapshot, we can turn to the bigger picture of what previous events lead us up to the current moment.

We already know what their plan is-----Democrats refuse to say what America should do about border crisis

Democrats refuse to say what America should do about border crisis
"What do Democrats want to do about illegal immigration?
Will they ever tell us?
Or will they keep emoting about how deeply they care about the issue without ever offering a plan?
Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez made a splash last week by referring to the detention centers housing illegal immigrants as concentration camps.
Using the rhetoric of “never again,” she drew a revolting false parallel between the Holocaust and an imperfect democracy’s efforts to deal with tens of thousands of illegal migrants crossing our southern border.
When called out, she doubled and tripled down.
Yet she was never pushed to explain what she would do with the influx of people coming in from Central America.
She’s not alone in having no follow-up plan.
Democrats know what they oppose: any proposal from President Trump.
But what they support in regard to illegal immigration is much harder to pin down..."

Emails show FBI 'helping Hillary' - WND

Emails show FBI 'helping Hillary' - WND:

Newly publicized emails reveal the FBI tried to muddle the Senate testimony of then-FBI Director James Comey regarding the discovery of Hillary Clinton emails on the laptop of Anthony Weiner that contained classified information.
The emails were among 345 pages of records from the Justice Department obtained by the Washington watchdog Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
In an email thread May 9, 2017, with the subject line “Comey’s Testimony on Huma Abedin Forwarding Emails Was Inaccurate – ProPublica,” nearly a dozen top FBI officials scrambled to draft a letter to Congress about the May 3, 2017, testimony.

Why doesn't Communist Bernie demand that colleges...

Janet Shagam - Why doesn't Communist Bernie demand that colleges...

"Why doesn't Communist Bernie demand that colleges give away their product for FREE?
Why make American taxpayers pay?

• Why are pharma & other companies labeled 'evil' for their prices...but universities are not?
• Why aren't colleges & universities labeled 'robber barons'?
• Most college employees are libs....so why don't they teach for free? They could give up their cars & live in 'tiny houses' & take staycations. They could live what they preach.
• Why yell at Americans & American businesses & expect us to pay/subsidize the outrageous college prices for others?

Let the college world make the sacrifice. 

They can sell their product for whatever they want...let them lower their price. 

The last thing that should be done is to subsidize the outrageous prices. 

Prices will never come down if they are subsidized with our tax dollars."

Public Library Provides Condoms, Lube & Chest Binders at Teen Pride Event | Todd Starnes
"A public library in Renton, Washington gave children free condoms, lubricant and held a raffle for “chest binders” during a “teen pride” celebration. 
I write about this kind of vular indoctrination in my upcoming book, “Culture Jihad: How to Stop the Left From Killing A Nation.”

A number of concerned citizens showed up at the King’s County library wondering what in the name of Dewey Decimal was going on.

But when the started asking questions, librarians called the police and the concerned citizens were physically removed from the property. 

Lynn Meagher, one of those moms who was physically removed by police, told the Todd Starnes Radio Show she was appalled by what she saw. 

..“The entire event was about sex,” she told me. 

“The vendor tables were covered with condoms, lube, bookmarks shaped like an erect penis and all sorts of other sexual information,” Mrs. Meagher told me..."

Black Coffee, Psychopaths, and Pseudoscience | Intellectual Takeout

Black Coffee, Psychopaths, and Pseudoscience | Intellectual Takeout:

• The internet says if you drink black coffee you're more likely to be a psychopath. So it must be true, right?

A “news story” currently trending online suggests that psychopaths take their coffee black. 
Or taking your coffee black is a sign of psychopathic tendencies. 
Or something.

I take offense to this--not because I drink black coffee, but because it’s so tiring.
For starters, this study is old.
It was pounded to death in 2015, and even then media couldn’t get it right.

...“The study in question does not actually say that people who take their coffee black have psychopathic tendencies.
The researchers who wrote the study didn’t actually ask anyone about whether they take their coffee black.
And what the study does say about the relationship between taste preferences and personality traits is probably meaningless and worth ignoring.”

If you wish to read the actual study for yourself, you can do so here.
Which brings me to the science and the study itself.

Is anyone else skeptical of the value of such a scientific pursuit? 

Today we laugh at the scientists of the past who practiced in pseudomedicine, such as those kooky phrenologists who believed the shape of one’s skull determined one’s psychological attributes and intellectual abilities..."

FBI, warned early and often that Manafort file might be fake, used it anyway | TheHill

FBI, warned early and often that Manafort file might be fake, used it anyway | TheHill:

The second document, known as the “black cash ledger,” remarkably has escaped the same scrutiny, even though its emergence in Ukraine in the summer of 2016 forced Paul Manafort to resign as Trump's campaign chairman and eventually face U.S. indictment.
In search warrant affidavits, the FBI portrayed the ledger as one reason it resurrected a criminal case against Manafort that was dropped in 2014 and needed search warrants in 2017 for bank records to prove he worked for the Russian-backed Party of Regions in Ukraine.
There’s just one problem: The FBI’s public reliance on the ledger came months after the feds were warned repeatedly that the document couldn’t be trusted and likely was a fake, according to documents and more than a dozen interviews with knowledgeable sources.

Fake News and Fake Education? - WSJ
"The good news is that people who disagree with you about politics aren’t nearly as unreasonable as you think. 
The bad news is that you are going to have a very hard time learning about them—unless of course you decide to talk to them. 
These are the findings of a new study suggesting that news media and academic institutions generally aren’t providing the straight story.

Amanda Ripley writes in the Washington Post about liberals and conservatives in the U.S. and their perceptions of each other:

Americans on each side imagine that almost twice as many people on the other side hold extreme views than actually do, scholars Daniel Yudkin, Stephen Hawkins and Tim Dixon explain in a new report, “The Perception Gap.” The survey, conducted by the nonpartisan organization More in Common and the polling firm YouGov, was taken just after the 2018 midterms...

This column can’t vouch for the assertion that the staff of More in Common is “nonpartisan.” The study seems to find much greater fault with right-leaning than left-leaning media outfits..."

Oberlin College newspaper editorial blames 'increasingly authoritarian country' for school's legal trouble

Oberlin College newspaper editorial blames 'increasingly authoritarian country' for school's legal trouble

• Oberlin College's student newspaper published an editorial taking aim at the media's coverage of the Oberlin College defamation case.
• The editorial board also cited an "increasingly authoritarian country."

Oberlin College's student newspaper editorial board blasted national media coverage of the Gibson’s Bakery trial, saying that it “misses the mark,” and that the ruling is part of an “increasingly authoritarian country.”
...Members of the editorial board “identified three of the key ways that existing coverage has skewed of misrepresented events leading up to the trial.”
First, the board claims that Gibson’s employees have had a pretty good amount of control in the media because the initial police report was “wildly prejudiced in favor of Gibson’s.” 
They claim that there was no perspective from any of the three African Americans in the police report.
“This omission is meaningful — particularly in a country with a long and shameful history of manipulating testimony and evidence to criminalize people of color, especially Black people,” the board stated.”

Knitting And Crochet Site Bans Any Indication Of Trump Support | PA Pundits - International

Knitting And Crochet Site Bans Any Indication Of Trump Support | PA Pundits - International
"You would think that the last place for an outbreak of extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome  would be a website devoted to knitting and crocheting. 
Well, these are not normal times and such a case of TDS to the extent that the Thought Crime of just expressing approval of President Donald Trump would be punished by banishment from the Ravelry website.

Here are their June 23 banishment rules, “New Policy: Do Not Post In Support of Trump or his Administration,” in which although any type of Trump support is taboo, it is still okay to declare yourself to be a Bolshevik or to support Elizabeth Warren for president:

We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry.

This includes support in the form of forum posts, projects, patterns, profiles, and all other content. Note that your project data will never be deleted. We will never delete your Ravelry project data for any reason and if a project needs to be removed from the site, we will make sure that you have access to your data. If you are permanently banned from Ravelry, you will still be able to access any patterns that you purchased. Also, we will make sure that you receive a copy of your data.

We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy.

So Ravelry is calling about half of America white supremacists for supporting Trump. 

The good news is you can still knit socks with red hammer and sickle patterns..."

Missouri bill would allow outdoor cremations for public

Missouri bill would allow outdoor cremations for public
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) —
A bill dubbed the "Jedi Disposal Act" could soon make Missouri the first state to allow outdoor cremations.

The bill would allow licensed funeral directors to organize outdoor cremations at licensed crematoriums or private sites that have permits, The Kansas City Star reported . 

The bill got its name from the "Star Wars" movie franchise, in which two Jedi Knights are cremated in public ceremonies.

...Funeral directors initially resisted the proposal out of fear people would host impromptu bonfires of deceased loved ones in their backyards, said Don Otto, executive director of the Missouri Funeral Directors and Embalmers Association..."
