A Saudi Arabian woman has created history in Riyadh today by causing her kingdom’s first ever peak-hour multi-vehicle accident. Mother of 3 Hamida Ghabbour blamed the accident on 1400 years without practice, and said she can’t wait until alcohol restrictions are lifted, so she can blame the booze instead.

In the 1960s, two major civilisational value shifts occurred in Western countries. Postmodernist intellectuals shifted our traditional political and moral values away from objectivism, towards subjectivism. This means that the truth is all about what you feel, rather than having any real compelling objective weight and force. You’ve probably seen a lot of sanctified idiots whingeing about how they have a ‘right to an opinion,’ or even saying ‘this is just an opinion.’ We all know, of course, that opinions are not worth very much; because an opinion, when all is said and done, is merely that. An opinion. Nothing more.
Socrates and Plato noted that knowledge and opinion are two very different things.
And how right they were!
Stating that you have an ‘opinion’ is merely an excuse to assert something, without providing a reason. Mere opinion, in Greek, is ‘doxa.’ Whereas knowledge is ‘episteme.’
Aside from the move away from objective truth, the Western elites moved away from universalism to relativism. Instead of the classical view that what is right in London is right in Lhasa, and what is wrong in Jerusalem is wrong in Geneva, right and wrong came to be purely matters of context. Cultural diversity, religious diversity, theological diversity, sexual diversity… Everyone is equally right; so presumably, also, nobody is right at all any longer. If differences are generally positive and generally require to be ‘celebrated,’ as though being different were somehow meritorious in itself (cf. Terry Eagleton’s book “Ideology, an Introduction,” and my review on GlossyNews.com), then the natural consequence of this is a policy of outright denialism and negationism of right and wrong in any remotely meaningful sense of the word.
Enter Neurodiversity.
The headlong anti-civilisational plunge into moral relativism and post-truth barbarism and savagery created a proliferation of oppressed ‘communities.’ This process of endless severing, fission and divisive sectarianism can be aptly named ‘community spiralling.’ There have to be more and more new ‘communities’ of ‘oppressed’ people. Just as firemen will go out of business if they are too proud to commit arson, so also do social justice warriors need fresh pretexts for contaminating and infecting the body politic with their metropolitan high dudgeon and bourgeois outrage.

NOTE FROM WALLACE:
Like a lot of people, Brian was caught by surprise by the surprise (or shock) win for Donald Trump.
In fairness, expert pollsters and commentators were no better off.
In today’s playlist, Brian also has a savage take-down of political love doctor Ben Carson, as well as more freaky fun with mildly confused / confusing GOP establishment ‘celebrity’ Mitch McConnell. Read more Brian’s Funny Youtube Playlists: Part 8! Politics
UK comedians are known for their racy sense of humour. Ricky Gervais has used the word ‘mong,’ my satire guru Bernard Manning has been widely accused of racism, while Roy Chubby Brown is notoriously offensive.
Ireland, however, is very much a right-wing country, as demonstrated by their recent decision to go the way of Adolf Hitler and vote for the eugenicisation of the disabled.
Add to this the Stephen Fry blasphemy kerfuffle, and it’s clear that things are not looking good over there.
To make matters worst, a whole horde of edgy UK comedians have been arrested in a mass frenzy of respectable bourgeois-metropolitan high dudgeon. Read more Not Funny: Frankie Boyle & Co Arrested in Ireland for ‘Offensive’ Jokes (Competition Goes Sour!)

Australians are well renowned (some would say infamous!) for their straight talking, a national trait which is enough to send even the customarily forthright Dutch and Russians screaming into their safe spaces.

White Nationalism is a counsel of despair.
White nationalists are indeed 100% correct that the most effective way of stopping Islamic Extremism and racial tensions is killing and deporting everyone of a different race or religion.
But if we do that, how are we any better than ISIS? Freakin’ idiots! Read more White Nationalism is Not the Answer: Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid!
Dateline: CHARLEVOIX, QUEBEC—President Trump’s imposing of tariffs against America’s allies, Canada, Mexico, and the EU, has put these allies in the awkward position of having to remind Mr. Trump that the international system of economic regulations was put in place by America to establish that country as the global hegemon.

Commandant Trump, expanding his power over we serf’s everyday life in keeping with his expanding ego, has taken it upon himself to rewrite the Pledge of Allegiance, a cornerstone of American heritage. His version, ghost written by Kellyanne Conway with content and spell-checking by Ann Coulter, differs greatly from the Pledge of Allegiance we all grew up with. Trump states that it “better reflects our current times and realities” (content and spell-checking also by Ann Coulter). Read more Trump Comes Up With His Own Version Of The Pledge Of Allegiance
Surprisingly enough, there’s the odd person out there would say I am rarely found speechless about sensitive and contentious issues.
I was not exactly surprised by the Irish Holocaust vote to conduct the mass extermination of ‘dysgenics’ and ‘Untermenschen,’ but it’s never pleasant to know your status has dropped to sub-human level. Read more How Long Before Ireland Builds Gas Chambers for the Disabled?
I recently moved towards a dialogue on Twitter; and while I knew debates over Neurodiversity were pretty ugly things, even I was shocked at the bizarre distortions of my calls for autistic males to reject victimhood; whether out of malice, ignorance or carelessness, these were changed (by the bizarre postmodernist sleight of hand of my opponents) into calls for victimhood.
Of course, I’m not going to become a victim in turn; those familiar with my writing know I have been consistently opposing autistic victimhood and entitlement for some time. That’s one reason why I reject Neurodiversity. However, I do want to discuss a selection of today’s commentary from myself and others, in order to show why incel culture and Neurodiversity are both deeply, deeply toxic ideological phenomena.
Just to shake things up a bit, let’s start with something that was from a little later on in the evening: Read more Incel Culture & Neurodiversity: Two Sides of the Same Coin?

Anything with ‘introduction’ in the title can easily appear off-putting to the more thoughtful and reflexive reader; promise me you won’t let that happen!
This is a very serious and (rather unsurprisingly) an extraordinarily witty romp through the history of ideology critique. Read more Book Review: “Ideology: An Introduction” by Terry Eagleton
[The following is a 100% partially true story].
People routinely accuse me of telling over-the-top fabricated stories in Glossy News. They make these outrageously unfair accusations just because I may bend the truth a tiny bit occasionally – and by occasionally, I mean not more than 80% of the time. (The other 20% I’m telling the truth, although, admittedly, that’s usually by accident). Read more My Private Workout with Obama
