On some level, I should really cut these jackholes some slack. After all, when your entire worldview is based around the garbage taught in gender and multicultural studies departments in universities, there’s really no room for anything related to common sense or human decency.
But perhaps that’s precisely why I want to tear the Cult of Social Justice a new one nearly every day.
Take, for example, their treatment of Otto Warmbier over the past year. Warmbier passed away yesterday after being held in a North Korea prison. And what did he do to warrant such treatment? He took down a North Korean propaganda poster while he was visiting the country. Immature? Childish? Maybe. But not worth losing his life over. Certainly not worth the harsh sentence he was initially given. Not in any civilized society.
But do social justice cultists see anything wrong with what the North Korean government did to Warmbier? At any moment since Warmbier’s arrest did they point out how over the top and unnecessary his punishment was? Did they ever think about what his family must be going through?
Nope. All they could see was one college dude’s white skin. OF COURSE that was his greatest crime – being a white guy. How DARE he pick on those poor, defenseless North Korean officials and their crappy propaganda posters?
There was this headline from Salon at the time and (shocker) the article is still live on their site –
Larry Wilmore of the Daily Show made fun of Warmbier, because that’s what you do when a fellow American is being held in an antagonistic foreign country without due process of law or hope of being allowed to leave –
Not to be outdone, HuffPo also decided to pile on Warmbier’s “white privilege” and how it couldn’t save him (sooo… doesn’t that mean that crying about white privilege is a farce anyway?)-
“Yay! North Korea rejects white privilege so much that they killed a kid! Ain’t multiculturalism neat?”
True, all of these articles were written a year ago after Warmbier’s sentencing. But even so – to cheer and dance when this guy was being held prisoner and not allowed an opportunity to defend himself from this oppressive regime is sickening. But I shouldn’t really be surprised that the left acted this way. Anything to keep alive the lie that white males deserve whatever harsh treatment they can get.
But if HuffPo’s, Salon’s, and the Daily Show’s excuse is that these pieces were all written over a year ago, what’s Affinity Magazine’s excuse?
Affinity Magazine is a website directed at the teen demographic. Who wants ALL criminals to take responsibility for their own actions, as shown by this tweet from just yesterday –
Watch whiteness work. He wasn’t a “kid” or “innocent” you can’t go to another country and try to steal from them. Respect their laws https://t.co/nmpED7K2SY

Soooo… Otto Warmbier deserved to die? Is that what they’re saying? That criminals should face the harshest punishments possible.
Hm… wonder how they feel about people coming to America and not respecting our laws –

Yeah. Respect the law. Pay the price. Justice will be served!
Just kidding. Warmbier was much too white for that.
And none of these leftist skunks stopped to wonder if North Korea wasn’t overreacting just a tiiiiiiiiny bit? Like, is all of this show of force truly worth one American tourist’s dumb mistake? Or is something much bigger going on? Like, you know, North Korea is one of the biggest a**hat nations on the planet and how dare this cookie crumb fascist nation treat one of our own this way? Never mind how they treat their own citizens, which is MUCH worse.
Nah. That’s just their culture to be murderous pieces of horse manure. We need to UNDERSTAAAAAAAAND their ways and laws, even if they’re completely ridiculous and an affront to basic human decency.
Don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick of this crap.
