Status Quo Ante
Posted by Bob in How Things Work on 10/29/2013
After these heated exchanges, it is time for us to ask, just as we did right after the SPLC crisis, “What just happened?”
One of the comments to my last article was “I do have a problem with the man who convinced me that the situation was not hopeless just walking away.”
Despite what I said, in the real world, that is the least of your problems. One of my big problems is that you know very well that I will die loyal, actively loyal, to our race. Being taken for granted makes it too easy to ignore any discipline I try to impose.
Having been taken for granted, I am also supposed to be “nice.”
NICE!?
Nice in BUGS, where our idea of being pleasant is charging into a site where a pleasant discussion of Bugs Bunny cartoons is going on and bombarding it with hard politics?
I am NOT trying to train our people to be NICE. This is gladiator training, where we take people from “nice” membership outfits and turn them into interrogators, attackers, the guys that scare the lions.
The good thing that seems to have come out of this fit of mine is that we MAY get back to those of you with experience calling down the ones who go sailing away on their own verbiage.
I SAW us going national. Seeing a forward movement, as a good officer, I looked at what we had blasted away and what they were falling back on. After all these years!
They have dropped back from “racism” and hide behind “Hate” and “Diversity.”
So we go after Hate and Diversity, right?
No, though the reports desperately avoided “Racism,” commenters said it meant nothing.
Other commenters say they already “took care of that” by denouncing Diversity before.
Of course I blew my stack!
I have been dealing with stumbling blind crap like that for almost twenty years, and here it is AGAIN.
HERE!
OK, status quo ante, all is as it was.
Except that maybe, just maybe, you will consider my strategy before you you repeat all the SF crap.
Yes, we can win, but we have to stop repeating the same mistakes in different language.
BUGS Must Continue

The reaction to my proposal to close down the SEMINAR led to the nearest thing we have had to a SEMINAR in a long time.
No, I am not going to abandon BUGS, but the pretense of a seminar.
The immediate practical problem is that no one else will put his name on it but me.
I use HD here because he gave the whole thing a lot of thought and what he says capsulizes in his different entries what I got from commenters as a whole.
If I understand HD, 1) I should not lose my temper, 2) BUGS has had no effect whatsoever on the term “anti-racist” and he did learn a lot back when we WERE a seminar.
My basic observation was that we had done a job on “anti-racist” so we should look at the other verbal fortresses the other side has retreated behind, like “Diversity,” fire at them and see if we can make them as sensitive to those terms as we have to anti-racist.
The answers I get are that there must be no change, that we have had no effect on anti-racist and Bob is not being nice.
My only function is to use my name here.
I can do my writing in Bob’s Meanderings.
