Episode 42 of the Radical Agenda was titled "Willful Blindness" and was an important moment in the history of this production.
During that episode, I discussed a lunatic who, much like the transgender freaks, felt like there was something wrong with her body. Jewel Shuping was diagnosed with something called "Body Integrity Identity Disorder" and spent much of her life wishing she was blind. Her wish was fulfilled in 2008 when she found a "sympathetic psychologist" who was willing to pour drain cleaner in her eyes.
As one might expect, this landed her in the hospital. When she woke up, she could still see, and she was really upset about this. But, over time, the drain cleaner did its job, as the Daily Mail explains;
Her left eye suffered a 'corneal meltdown' - collapsing in on itself and requiring the eye to be removed - while her right eye had glaucoma and cataracts, and a webbing of scars.
As I said in October in 2015, after remarking about the news of the day;
This kind of stupidity is why Jewel Shuping is such a perfect metaphor for America. For as long as she can remember, she wanted to be blind. She recalls staring at the sun, because her mother told her it would blind her to do so. Into adulthood the obsession continued until she finally found a "sympathetic psychologist" who was willing to pour drain cleaner into her eyes.
"My eyes were screaming and I had some drain cleaner going down my cheek burning my skin. But all I could think was 'I am going blind, it is going to be okay'" she said.
After the "treatment" she was taken to the hospital where doctors attempted to save her eyesight to no avail. Today she is completely blind, and says she's never been happier.
Ms Shuping says she is studying for a degree in education, and boy I just can't wait to see the impact she has on future generations.
This is the world you live in. A world where the free want to be slaves, those who can see wish to be blind, the rich want to be poor, the armed want to be disarmed, men want to be women, women want to be men, whites want to be blacks, and ultimately, the living want to be dead. And if you thought that was scary, we also take calls from you the listener
I have a tendency to be sympathetic toward conservatives who try to feign race blindness. I know what happens when you start speaking honestly about these subjects, and I think it unreasonable to demand everybody take those risks.
There's a theory in which the so called color blind society is a form of White Supremacy. You hear Leftists say this all the time, and are no less often ridiculed for saying it. The underlying assumption of this is that if everyone is held to the same standards of conduct, and people are judged on the merits of their behavior, that Whites will win out to the detriment of blacks.
I tend to assume this is commonly understood when conservatives throw it in the faces of Leftists in the DR3 vein. "What? You think blacks can't compete? That's racist! You wouldn't want to be racist, would you?"
And of course, the Leftists are perfectly fine with being racists. They just don't want anything good to exist in the world. So their race centric worldview is decidedly anti-White, and tends toward reducing us to wild animals, for whom wiping our asses with leaves would be far too advanced a technology to contemplate. Merely dragging one's ass across the bare ground would be deemed White Supremacy at some point, were they to get their way.
A fun example of this categorical response came across my Telegram feed not so long ago when, I believe it was Steven Crowder, was arguing about abortion with some college liberals. They pointed out that, someteen years after the Roe vs. Wade decision, crime dropped dramatically. More recently these two phenomena were connected by the authors of a book called Freakonomics, the whole series of which are actually a pretty good read. In their theory of things, crime dropped when a bunch of unwanted children didn't reach their teenage years.
Some went so far as to make another connection. Most of those children were black.
So when the college liberals said that abortion caused crime to drop, the conservative commentator said "Who gets the most abortions?" and of course the college liberals were quick to answer "Oooh Ohh! I know! I know! Black women get the most abortions, which is why banning abortion is racist!"
And the conservative commentator says "Are you saying aborting black babies reduces crime?"
And the college liberals panicked before the video cuts out...
It's pretty clear that our conservative commentator was doing plenty more than calling Democrats racists. He was demonstrating his knowledge of the facts.
Yes, as a matter of fact, it does. I'm not saying that makes it a good idea. I can think of better ways to reduce crime than killing babies, but preventing those babies from being born, and then growing up, in a given jurisdiction, will most certainly reduce the crime in that jurisdiction.
And if you wanted to achieve such a policy outcome, in a place where the government is elected by popular vote, and the demographic you were targeting made up some portion of the electorate, you might try to find some other way of advocating that policy than saying you were trying to exterminate a race of people whom you relied upon for electoral success. You might well say that this was a very good thing for those people. You might say that to deny them the Right to genocide themselves, I mean, uh, to control their own bodies, was an act of cruelty. You might accuse the people who wanted to stop you of having precisely the racial animus upon which you were acting, and given the political track record of deceit and hypocrisy one might reasonably expect this to be the most expedient political strategy.
So, sure. Let's do the colorblind society bit. I go to work. You go to work, and if I happen to be more successful than you, then my side wins, and you accept that as justice because that's the ideology of our society. We are taught this in our public schools and if we have learned anything from the transgenders it is that no matter how ridiculous a thing is, if you teach it to children, it will become accepted as truth over some period of time.
But truth and what is accepted as truth are not the same thing. I can accept lying in politics. It seems to me inevitable. I am substantially more troubled by sincere belief in utter nonsense, and there seemed to be a lot of that going on yesterday, if you deem credible the people on the television, which I stress is a pretty big if.
Yesterday, as you may have heard, the Supreme Court held that race may not be considered as a factor in college admissions. This was a direct attack on the whole concept of so called "affirmative action" policies which prevail in all facets of American life. Even in those areas where there is not an official affirmative action policy, the tendency prevails because people fear lawsuits and persecution. So any opportunity to promote a protected class, any glimmer of hope one has for avoiding the accusation of being called a racist, sexist, or homophobe, is seized upon by anyone with a sliver of power to avoid having all of his power stolen.
I remember a time in the mid 2000s I was working in a datacenter as the operations manager, among the duties of which was hiring and firing people. I once hired a young black guy fresh out of school for an overnight shift. This was always a difficult slot to fill, and in no small number of instances resulted in me working all night and waking up to answer messages all day.
It became pretty clear pretty quickly that this was not going to work out. The little shit considered it disrespectful for a hiring manager to give orders to his subordinates, and went so far as to say something along the lines of "Don't be disrespekkin me yo". I reminded him that we do a very good job of keeping inventory before instructing him to lock the door on his way out, and not to be there when I arrived to take over his shift, because he was fired.
I'll tell you the rest of the story tonight at 9:30pm Eastern on Odysee.
