Joan Rivers: I'm Not Apologizing For a Joke I Told, So "Calm the F*** Down"
— Ace

She told a joke, and now it's being demanded that she "apologize" for having done so.

She said "No."

While promoting their WEtv reality series "Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best," the mother and daughter duo were asked what it was like living together. The elder Rivers has been residing at Melissa's home in Malibu, Calif., during the taping of the series.
"Those women in the basement in Cleveland had more space," Rivers said.

Gabe mentioned this story on the podcast. It's not a "Too Soon" joke, I don't think, as this story is a year old. I didn't even know what "women in the basement in Cleveland" she meant when Gabe quoted the joke.

Following outrage on social media...

Of course.

...and calls from two of the victims' attorneys to apologize...

Of course. Their attorneys. People whose income relies upon conflict.

...Rivers remains defiant.
"I'm a comedienne," she told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I know what those girls went through. It was a little, stupid joke. There is nothing to apologize for. I made a joke. That's what I do. Calm down. Calm f------ down. I'm a comedienne. They're free, so let's move on."

The only people in the whole world who even have something close to a right to ask for an apology are the affected women, not the ten million bored, empty sh*t-for-brains who do nothing but link Outragey stuff on FaceBook and Twitter all day.

We've expanded the concept of an "apology" from a personal regret about visiting a wrong on someone, delivered to that person personally, to this sad state of fake rage and emo Sadness Theater, in which ten thousand bored, empty outrage junkies take offense on someone else's behalf and then go into ridiculous Power Tripping mode where the mob demands appeasement to prove they haven't actually wasted all of their free time on the Internet this week.

See, Dad? I did something this week. I got the #ApologizeJoan hashtag trending and then I got coverage of it. And I think that's a little more important than looking for a job, don't you?

I'm glad Joan Rivers is telling them "No," and without being mealy-mouthed about it.

My rule would be she actually should apologize to the women, personally, in a phone call, and not on Twitter or the media, if they really want such a thing.

If it's just their lawyers "advising" them to be offended, then, no.

But if they're really upset, then they should probably be willing to take a three minute apology phone call.

Either way, this shouldn't be on Anti-Social Media. The whole reason people want this on Anti-Social Media is so that they can have closure for these little stupid mob-power-trip psychodramas they create to distract themselves from the yawning voids of their own lives. They want to see the end of this little stupid movie they're creating.

And they should be denied that. If this really is a cause for offense, it should be dealt with as an offense, and that means private discussions.

Not in the public Twitter Playhouse Theater format the drama-lovers prefer.

I don't know if the women really want an apology, of course.

And I don't know if Rivers would actually even be willing to do that.

And I support her for not be willing to do that, actually. When I say she would owe them an apology, I mean kind of... barely, if she wanted to fulfill all of her low-level social obligations.

If she doesn't, then that's kind of fine too.

It's really none of my business, as it's no one's business, except for the four people directly involved.

She has to decide that. But as for all the other shit-for-brains folks, fuck 'em.

Not that it was dumb of her to tell the joke, just that it was kinda lame (as most such quips are, goodness knows I'm an expert in *that*). It wasn't supposed to be "funny" in a "laugh out loud" sense. It was just a mildly-humorous way of responding to a question. Of course, these are the same people who go on daytime TV and demand apologies from That Kid Who Ignored Me In High School.

He marinates in his incredible writing and mindthoughts, so he probably doesn't realize how unique his talent is since it's normal to him.

67 ace, I like this article and I don't think there's enough good reflection on what the social media age is doing to our interactions (or lack thereof) with others. But if they're really upset, then they should probably be willing to take a three minute apology phone call. Consider the fact that they probably never heard Rivers' statement first-hand. The Today show isn't as popular as it used to be. Before the Internet, it would take a few days for the insult to get to them, then for the demands that Rivers apologize to even start and by then it's old news. Even if they had heard it first-hand, you don't have a heckler's veto on anything that anybody says anywhere. BTW, why aren't they demanding an apology from NBC? They aired it and apparently the host didn't recoil in shock and horror and end the segment.

87 My rule would be she actually should apologize to the women, personally, in a phone call, and not on Twitter or the media, if they really want such a thing.

If it's just their lawyers "advising" them to be offended, then, no.

Yep. This. Everyone else can shut the fuck up. You can say, "That was in poor taste," but saying that and saying, "YOU SHOULD APOLOGIZE RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!" are two completely different things.

This lyric is what I think of everytime the Apology Posse mounts up:

Just cause you don't understand what's going on don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it, don't mean it ain't no good
And let me tell you something;

Before you go taking a walk in my world
You better take a look at the real world
Cause this ain't no Mister Roger's Neighborhood

Can you say "feel like shit"?
Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like shit
I ain't happy 'bout it, but I'd rather feel like shit than be full of shit!

And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry...
But maybe you need to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...fuck you!

115 On the outrage porn -- the LGBT nazis are having some incoherent rage because Ronda Rousey, UFC women's champ and all around badass, called another female fighter Cris "Cyborg" Justino an "it". Cyborg has been busted for steroids multiple times. quote: "I've said before, I don't care if she's injecting horse semen into her eyeballs, I'll fight her, but that's just my personal decision," Rousey said. "But I can't make a decision for the whole division. I can't say it's the right thing. This girl has been on steroids for so long and [has been] injecting herself for so long that she's not even a woman anymore. She's an 'it.' It's not good for the women's division. It's not good at all. "If she comes in the UFC and I beat the [expletive] out of her and then I retire and become an action movie star, then the UFC is still going to be stuck with her. The division could die. She could ruin the whole sport. Even though it's a fight a lot of people want to see, even if I beat the living crap out of her, it won't be good for the sport because then she'd still be in the UFC." Rousey said she's been tested as part of the Olympic program since she was 14 and has never failed a test. -- The Gay Mafia and Progtards hate this possible "transphobia" -- but they really love having tough chick Rousey as a UFC star. So their sputtering rage is half-hearted. Previous male UFC fighters have said similar things in the past and been fined and forced to apologize by the UFC. But Dana White is backing Rousey on this, so no apology.

140 Senator Warren, the fake Indian is speaking at Worcester State University this afternoon. I was waiting for my son to come out of the building as I was giving him a ride home. I watched as all women, by themselves parked as close to the building as they could. By the size of some of the democrat women who were there to hear the fake Indians speech, they should have parked further away to obtain some much needed exercise. Anyway, one of the women pulled up next to me and gestured to me. I did nothing. She pulled up next to me and said "Why don't you move your car, you are taking up three spaces." She wanted to park as close as she could, even though there were many empty spaces all around. I asked, :Are you the parking enforcer?" She answered "Whats the big deal, Why don't you move?" I answered, "You must be a democrat" She replied, "Yes I am, What makes you say that?" I answered, "Because you are an a$$hole, and the world would be better off without democrats" My boy then rang me on the phone and I left that women who was giving me a stupid look. I am willing to bet the women out number the men at this speech today.

166 BTW, the Cliven Bundy interview was selectively edited - http://tinyurl.com/lzvdyc2 Posted by: Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus But an old man used outmoded/un-PC ways of referring to "people of color" ("negro" and "colored people", which were probably in use in polite company when he was growing up), so let's crucify him! And he said "picking cotton!" Oh my garters! Interesting that people who claim to have a monopoly on understanding "nuance" can't get past their Pavlovian reactions to trigger words, which immediately turn off the nuance center of the brain (along with other centers.)

167 I do think Ms. Rivers' "jokes" here were in very poor taste. And there were two. She doubled down and said the Cleveland women had it easy since they lived rent-free for a decade. I'm no fan of the perpetual outrage mob, and this doesn't have to be the end of the world. But Ms. Rivers made multiple attempts to make yuck-yucks out of the decade-long 24/7 rape and torture of three human beings. At the very least, I call this what it is: not fucking funny.

@ 142 - "Thankyou for that.... puts a WHOLE different spin on what he said doesn't it..."

Actually it does. However inartfully he may have put it, Bundy was not actually saying that black Americans should be re-enslaved or that slavery never should have ended. What he WAS doing was actually pointing out how the Democrats have basically destroyed the AA family and their aspirations in America.

I like the word "negro", I use it with my negro housemate, who understands that I use it for a particular reason. (Short version of the rant: it was the polite word and using it highlights the absurdity of having to change the polite word every five years, etc. It's a pretty good rant, but that's not why I'm here).

Cliven Bundy is not racist for using "negro". Cliven Bundy is racist for speculating that blacks would be better off as slaves and that all they do is sit around on porches getting abortions. Let go of it. We can hate government overreach and a militarized BLM without hugging the racist.

230 Yes, Dana White is a hypocrite. If Rousey was a mid-level male fighter who said it she'd be fined, maybe suspended. If she was a top male star she'd still probably be forced to apologize, maybe be fined. Part of the whole charm of Rousey was she was this hot, badass chick who cursed like a sailor and beat people up -- while still being a hot blonde. Matt Mitrione is a mid-tier UFC fighter who got in trouble when said bad stuff about Fallon Fox -- the tranny who fights in regional women's mma shows. Mitrione was pissed cause he said, correctly, that it was no different than a dude beating up women and it's insane to let biological males compete as women in a sport that involves punching people in the face and this dude must just be some sick fuck who found a legal way to beat women. Mitrone was totally correct but was forced to apologize by the UFC cause the trannies and LGBTers and Gay Mafia tried to get him fired.

231 Oh noes -- a professional fighter said mean things about another professional fighter! Rousey pisses me off. She holds grudges BIGTIME. It's not like other fighters where after the fight they can shake hands, or at least show each other grudging respect. Nope, she hates anyone who has insulted her or her "family", including coaches. She also doesn't seem to make much distinction between what a person actually said and what she feels like they said. Anyways, take all that and yet she's pretty flip about saying nasty things about other fighters. IOW, she can dish it, but can't take it.

He specifically said that he's glad black people are no longer oppressed. He was just pointing out that under slavery, they had intact families and were not idle. His point was that isn't it a shame that the govt has degraded the black family and how it's a crying shame so many black babies get aborted and the govt has made it OK for so many able people to stay idle. Which conservatives of all races point out. It's a pity he didn't have a teleprompter to help him give a prepared and reviewed speech. Check out the link in comment 79.

She was either abused as a kid or can't come to terms with the fact that being easy when she was young didn't buy her love from any men. (She spoke about the latter in a post, IIRC.) I suspect it's both. Maybe the former led to the latter. Anyway, I actually have some compassion for her because she is clearly mentally disturbed, and I'm angry at certain portions of society giving literally insane rantings like hers a veneer of respectability rather than trying to see that people like her get the help they clearly need. Instead, people like PIV lady get to infect other women with their crazee.

301 Ace really royally skewers the Twitterverse and Redditverse in this post, peeling off the tops of their skulls to reveal brain cavities filled with writhing, squirming nastiness. His psycho-analysis of the social dynamics leading to "emo Sadness Theater" is more accurate than a thousand PhD theses in "{Fill-in-the-blank} Studies." Comedians should NEVER be require to apologize. Their role is to offend, in a way that makes us laugh at our own psychoses and biases. The kings of old would intentionally hire foul-mouthed dwarves who would cavort and heckle during courtly banquets, insulting the king and his guests with insightful barbs skewering their pomposity, for the specific purpose of making them laugh at their own ridiculousness. That's what comedians are supposed to do. Did anyone ever ask Rudy Ray Moore to apologize when he said (a standard part of his routine) that black women's "p*ssie" smell like "fried okra"? You couldn't even get more offensive than that. Did anyone demand Chris Rock to apologize when he said that white people should avoid any street named "Martin Luther King Boulevard" because you know just fro its name it's in the bad part of town? No. That's because those jokes were told in an era before "emo Sadness Theater" had come to dominate American society. The way to win this battle is to say "Fuck you," as Joan did, each time an apology is demanded for offending the hive. The Hive derives sustenance from the apologies themselves. Deny them their food, and they will dry up and blow away.

Regardless of his historical inaccuracy, if you see the whole clip (linked at 79), he clearly has no antipathy towards black people. He mentions slavery and Jim Crow (I think he mentioned Jim Crow) and lauds the fact that we have progressed so much since then. Unlike leftists, he doesn't think black people are incapable of achieving anything and thus must be taken care of by the govt. So by my account, leftists are way more racist than him.

I think there's a difference between "That's not funny" and "Be more funny." The former, when used in context, is generally done in admonishment, not as a critique.

And just because someone says something isn't funny doesn't mean that that's the extent of their feelings on the topic.

312 "But of course... the Race card has been played.... so any actual looking at what he said, and meant, is now out the window...."

Getting a little tired of certain people on the right who walk around with a folding card table under their arm, who will happily set up that table on a moment's notice to provide a place for a leftist to slap down the race card.

No excuse for Bundy's comments. They can't be handwaved away. They are hugely damaging. They've ruined any hope of he and his family keeping their ranch. They've gotten a bunch of sympathizers against government overreach who might not in any way share his views to be tarred as being Klansmen on the quiet. And it plays neatly in to the Preferred Narrative of the left that opposition to their agenda is irrational racism instead of rational justice.

A disaster across the board, and one that was totally unnecessary.

As I said the other day, I don't like lawyers, but Bundy needed competent counsel, and the FIRST DAMN THING competent counsel are supposed to make sure of is that the client SHUTS THE FUCK UP in these kinds of situations. Statements get issued by the attorneys after review, period.

313 And like I said before, there's a difference between saying, "That's not funny" or "That's in poor taste" and saying, "YOU APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW YOU HORRIBLE TERRIBLE PERSON!!!" Posted by: MWR, Proud Tea(rrorist) Party Bossy Assault Hobbit at April 25, 2014 02:24 PM (4df7R) Right. We agree on that. There is no "so" after me opining that Ms. Rivers said two fucked up things.

I think we need a new Miss Manners type guidebook for what constitutes Outrage and what does not. And apparently we need one for cisnormative terms as well.

335 it's a silly thing to say -- slave families were often not "intact" at all, as family members were sold to different plantations. --- What % were? I really don't know. I'd be interested to know what it the majority, a large minority? Were most slaves allowed to stay with their mother until their teens? Later? There must be some objective research on this. I don't know where to look to find the answers. The image of slavery is constant brutal whipping, which we know wasn't true. That was the threat that kept people in line. And, of course, whipping was a common punishment in the military at the time as well. Our image is whipping to the point of near death -- not the common, painful, but not life threatening, lashing that was a common tool of discipline in many levels of society. Mainly I just don't know. 1) What % of slave children stayed with their mothers until maturity? 2) What % had their father around? 3) What % of slaves were beaten or whipped? Our image, to reinforce how really bad it was, is of unrelenting brutality. Which is obviously an exaggeration. It's understandable why few researchers want to investigate how much of an exaggeration it is, for fear of being called a racist who is in anyway defending slavery. Slavery in Latin America and the Caribbean was much more brutal that in North America. We know this because of the low survival rates. The vast majority of African slaves went to Latin America because they kept killing them and had to constantly import them. The North American population of slaves grew organically. Just to be clear, I'm not defending anything Bundy said or slavery or anything like that. All bad. I just am interested in the actual history behind our, understandably, somewhat cartoonish version today of constant, unrelenting brutality.

I saw a post go by on Tumblr a few months ago. It was clearly a vaginalogue post, because it read: "Reblog this if you actually give a shit about female victims of domestic and sexual violence." It had something like 50K reblogs already; complete pap.

So I reblogged it and added, "I just wonder why we're limiting this to just FEMALE victims."

I like to think that some vaginalogue twat read that and had a nervous breakdown.

I don't know why it's so incredible to believe the MSM or whoever (MMFA?) edited his words. (George Zimmerman, anyone?) Maybe the man needs to update his vocabulary, but he DID NOT say that black people were better off as slaves. He specifically said that he is happy that there's been a lot of progress in the status of black people in society. But if you insist on continuing to think he's an unrepentant racist without at least watching the full clip, go ahead.

The one thing I'll say for her is that she has guts. Most of the "edgy" comedians aren't edgy at all. They are careful not to insult the ruling class. Their so-called "edginess" consists of nothing more than ridiculing the peasants and thus ingratiating themselves with the Fashionable Set.

Cliven Bundy is racist.

I know this because the New York Times told me so. The NYT would never lie or misrepresent the truth. Never. Swearsies...

381 Beck was talking about this too today. I only caught a few minutes. He was calling out Bundy on not understanding slavery and how slaves were treated. Fair enough. Was he also calling out Chris Hayes? I mean, tying AGW to slavery surely indicates that Hayes does not understand slavery. Right? Posted by: Lizzy at April 25, 2014 02:43 PM (8zTpe) He also said he thought Bundy was a good man, generally, and he didn't mean any harm. That he was fairly ignorant in his communication skills, etc. He was just exposing the parts of what Bundy believed the way slaves lived as false. He did say he would not want blacks or hispanics to be treated badly, like before, etc. If you read the NYT edited out portion, it's obvious he has a heart. And, then there's the black body guard standing right next to Bundy, vouching for him as a good man. Tired of shit being blown out of proportion. He made a mistake, no doubt. Because he not a liberal, he will pay dearly for it.

382 I love this piece by Ryan Cooper, an obvious rentor ...

Most of all, though, there is simply no reason for homeownership to occupy the cultural perch that it does. Renting is just as legitimate a form of paying for shelter as buying. It's time to let that malignant symbol of the American Dream die a quick, quiet death.

... after a screed worthy of any #Occupier, which has all the laments about "the rich" etc., Ryan falls for the biggest method that make "the rich" rich .. being a renter.

The cost of renting not only covers the insurance and upkeep of the property you are renting, it also covers the mortgage of "the rich" owner of the property who in the end gets to sell the property, while the renter walks away with nothing.

It contained choice phrases regarding "lace curtain Navy" and something along the lines of "media darlings" being "more focused on not hurting people's feelings instead of fighting wars."

It has a hand-written notation from the CMC noting, "We have a really pissed off Sailor."

397 Sure slavery had its drawbacks but cotton was cheaper and, as a result, so were clothes. And, besides the beatings and torture and having the dogs sicked on you it was a pretty cushy lifestyle. You got free rent, free food and free health care plus there was always a swimming hole to take advantage of on these plantations. Bundy a racist? I think not, more like a hero in my book.

Yes he's a rural old fart living in a 50s Green Acres milieu, but were this the 50's his words would not only be progressive , but he'd be footnoted by Daniel Moynihan . I don't think Bundy has any racial animus- look how he praised Mexicans - and doesn't think of himself as being racist. He's just a victim of not being part of the cosmopolitan PC world. Today the PC fascists consider " the Little Rascals " racist, but they were uber progressive for their time. Can you think of any other venue at that time that integrated the races and treated them equally?

I thought it was someone in Carter's administration. Posted by: Dack Thrombosis PERFECT example! Anybody see "Kentucky Fried Movie" from back in the '70s? They had entire 6-minute "music video" in the film (a compilation of comedy sketches) with Cab Calloway singing "Tight pussy, loose shoes and a warm place to shit," while black comedians acted out the words to the joke. It was insanely offensive and absolutely hilarious at the same time. Was the audience laughing at the racism behind the original joke, or at the mockery of minstrelsy, or at the kernel of forbidden truth in the phrase, or at their own shame for thinking the phrase had a kernel of truth, or just appreciating the linguistic meter which made the phrase to memorable -- or what? And do we really need to dissect the humor in order to give it the stamp of approval? The test should be" If it makes you laugh, then it counts as humor. And humor should get a special "pass" exempting it from forced attendance at Outrage Theater.

I don't know why it's so incredible to believe the MSM or whoever (MMFA?) edited his words. (George Zimmerman, anyone?) Maybe the man needs to update his vocabulary, but he DID NOT say that black people were better off as slaves. He specifically said that he is happy that there's been a lot of progress in the status of black people in society. But if you insist on continuing to think he's an unrepentant racist without at least watching the full clip, go ahead.Posted by: chique d'afrique (the artist formerly known as african chick) at April 25, 2014 02:43 PM (r+7wo) I heard audio somewhere of him stating that he'd happily sit next to Rosa Park (yes, Park, not Parks) on the bus. He reminds me of a lot of the Western farmers I know; their hearts are in the right place but they have not been educated "the right way," and have no education on how to speak to the media at all. I don't think he's a hateful person, but man he needs to stop giving the MSM more rope, or have a spokesperson who can properly state in reporterese what he is actually trying to say. But I think it's too late for that, he's turned toxic. Which, sadly, infects the very important cause of federal/state land rights, which is the convo we SHOULD be having. But yes, MSM, never mind Harry "clean and articulate" Reid or Joe "back in chains" Biden. Now THOSE are true men of paragon, beyond reproach!

448 "I don't know why it's so incredible to believe the MSM or whoever (MMFA?) edited his words. (George Zimmerman, anyone?)"

So apropos of the Zimmerman matter:

Right out of the gate, George hired incompetent legal counsel, who not only let George continue to communicate directly with the public and media, in ways that didn't help his case, but who were also making various statements against interest themselves.

Fortunately, George realized that wasn't working, and fired his lawyers, and hired Mark O'Mara. Who gave him a nice hot steaming mug of shut the fuck up. After that, O'Mara was the one who spoke to the press on George's behalf. O'Mara did so sparingly, and very very carefully.

And eventually got George acquitted. Which, given the enormous bias that the judges had shown against the guy, and in favor of the prosecution, was amazing.

If you're in trouble with the government, and the matter is going to end up in a _government courtroom,_ and your odds of prevailing there are very low, why on earth would you ever make it worse by speaking extemporaneously to the media? The media, who are overwhelmingly leftist fans of state power in their sentiments, and inclined to side with the government on damn near everything.

You do understand the concept of Parody? Posted by: Romeo13 at April 25, 2014 02:45 PM (84gbM) Like the Joan Rivers gags here, I didn't find it funny. And I sure as hell didn't appreciate the "point" being made, to the extent there was one. To compare me to CAIR is, again, patently absurd, and patently uncalled for. Might as well say I throw babies in blenders. If some folks here need to carry the "stop making everyone apologize" banner all the way to "hey, it's a great idea to make fun of women who were raped and tortured for ten years,Â“ have fun riding that train. I'm pretty sure there's a distinction to be had there, that frankly I'm not sure everyone is processing. You folks are smart (sincerely), so I'm sure we can get this. But as with Rivers, I need no apology here. Something was said, and I said "fuck you." Carry on.

@ 211 - "Cliven Bundy is not racist for using "negro". Cliven Bundy is racist for speculating that blacks would be better off as slaves and that all they do is sit around on porches getting abortions."

Except that that's not actually what he said.

While it may be, in some cases, good to "et it go" and not associate with racists, it's even better to have a clue what you're talking about before you go shooting your keyboard off.

485 "Just to be clear, I'm not defending anything Bundy said or slavery or anything like that. All bad. I just am interested in the actual history behind our, understandably, somewhat cartoonish version today of constant, unrelenting brutality." Posted by: Costanza Defense at April 25, 2014 02:40 PM (ZPrif) I would like to add to the chorus of people who affirm slavery is bad. That said, it would be nice to have the ability to discuss slavery without the fear that by bringing up the subject, it proves the person is racist and secretly ready to drag young black men behind their pickup truck. One thing I believe is constantly misrepresented is the motives of the slaveholders at the time. Were they all evil people who couldn't wait to get back to the plantation to inflict some Mandingo type punishment for looking at the master wrong? Is it possible that some of the slaveholders were people who believed they were doing good, doing God's work, bringing civilization and religion into the lives of unfortunate savages? Did the people at that time rely on the "settled science" of the day that guaranteed that blacks were an inferior species that needed caring and management as other farm animals did? It would be enlightening to know what the body of knowledge is concerning the views of the people of that time. Did they think they were hard headed business people using the most cost effective farming methods or did they think they were the bringers of truth and light to the disadvantaged?

You don't talk/write like a veteran since there are usually 'tells' of one sort or another, an easy familiarity with the language and mindset of the military that give veterans away and generally allow us to identify each other online. So tell me, hero,without giving away your precious anonymity,what branch of the Service were you in, please? Were you combat arms?

Nope.... I never was .... never claimed to be.

But for all your superior intellect... Im surprised you didn't pick up on the metaphor.....

Because surely someone as bright and nuanced as you doesnt read everything literally .... do you??

So.... in parting ..... Im just going point ask you shuffle "down the line" .... because.... frankly .... I dont trust you as far as I could throw you.

Posted by: tangonine at April 25, 2014 03:13 PM (x3YFz) Jwest, I didn't get the sense you were condoning anything. Where you trying to use presentism, ie not judging people in the past via the supposed moral high ground we who live in the enlightened present have? That was my take. And yes, I hate there is yet one more -ism in the world to have to deal with, but so be it. From wiki: "Presentism is a mode of literary or historical analysis in which present-day ideas and perspectives are anachronistically introduced into depictions or interpretations of the past. Some modern historians seek to avoid presentism in their work because they believe it creates a distorted understanding of their subject matter.[1] The practice of Presentism is a common fallacy in historical writings.Presentism is also a factor in the problematic question of history and moral judgments...Among historians, the orthodox view may be that reading modern notions of morality into the past is to commit the error of presentism. To avoid this, some historians restrict themselves to describing what happened, and attempt to refrain from using language that passes judgment. For example, when writing history about slavery in an era when the practice was widely accepted, using language that condemns slavery as wrong or evil would be presentist, and would be avoided."

578 Fenelon,

The one tool that the left has that works - and it has worked throughout history - is to take those that are competitive (in a survival sense), and pit them against each other.

They have a lot of ways to do this. We see nearly every single one of them in every news cycle.

Without the ability to do this, the time of those who are more competitive (in the same sense) isn't spent causing attrition of our own, and indirectly benefiting the left.

Instead the left has to compete directly with the right. And they can't. So they fail.

It is *imperative* that the right understand this, and stop being willing dupes in the plan, just because they feel better/more enlightened when they do it.

Failure to do so makes one a proverbial "useful idiot."
