All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing – Cornel West, African-American Philosopher
(apologies for the lack of articles in recent weeks. In recent weeks I have identified as a hibernating grizzly bear. I just realised that I have been hibernating very much out of season. Apologies again)
Imagine you had a time machine and could programme it to take you to 1930’s Germany. Imagine having the power – knowing what you do about how history turned out – to stop Adolf Hitler in his tracks. Imagine that your time machine could transport you to the very time and place (22 January 1933, the Sportpalast) of Hitler’s very first public speech:

And so, amazed at your good fortune, you set the coordinates and send the time machine (no doubt invented by Lewis Latimer) on it’s way.
But things don’t quite turn out how you imagined. As you emerge from the safety of your Latimer-built time machine, and hear the roar of the crowd applauding Hitler, it suddenly occurs to you: how exactly can I prevent World War 2 and the deaths of Six Billion? If you are like most (good) people, you would do nothing. You would probably engage in a difficult internal monologue, struggling with seemingly important questions about the right to free speech, the right to self-assembly, the inherent belief that good will always triumph over evil, and that most people will surely figure out that Hitler is bad, just like the Orange Man is bad.
This is the choice every generation must face. It is not enough to recognize evil; it is necessary that you do something about it. It’s essential that you recognize that hate speech is not free speech and that the Far-Right are exploiting our moral superiority and using our inherent goodness against us. Right now, Trump threatens to steal a second election from some special needs or criminal Democrat and usher in a new age of fascism. He is supported by far-right henchmen and henchwomyn who are omnipresent in the social media. Apart from the accredited media, most corporations, Hollywood celebrities, and the rest of the liberal progressive establishment, we must face Trump’s peculiar brand of fascism quite alone. Well, almost alone, for we can also count on the brave Antifa movement, a small collection of unfunded idealistic young people who are prepared to use peaceful violence to disrupt fascism before it can gain a foothold in the hearts and minds of modern Americans.
Ok, back to 1933, you take inspiration from Antifa and realise at once what you must do to stop Hitler. You look down and see that you are holding a milkshake which you intend to throw in the dictator’s face. As we know from Antifa’s recent successes, the humble milkshake has silenced burgeoning tyrants all across the UK, from Mr Brexit aka Nigel Farage to Tommy Robinson, former leader of the far right group, English Defence League, and whose actual name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
The mysterious ability of the milkshake to belittle evil white men confounds those against whom it is used. As progressives, however, we understand that the milkshake’s power lies in its capacity to ridicule (mostly) men who would set themselves up as all-powerful, all-knowing, and fit to lead great nations. Fascists, in other words. Of course, the word ‘fascist’ has a broader meaning in Current Year and also includes those who refuse to shake hands with Beta males as well as (even) womyn who resist vaccines for their children.
However, when a milkshake lands on their perfectly tailored suit, neatly combed hair/ pencil mustache, they are at once shown up to be as vulnerable as anyone else and become figures of shame. Importantly, however, they cannot claim to be martyrs because the milkshake causes no injury except the loss of self pride. That at least is the theory…
Over the weekend (back in Current Year), events took a sinister turn when alleged Asian gay ‘journalist’ Andy Ngo (in reality a member of the far right, and therefore whose Asian gayness is neutralised) was the recipient of peaceful violence inflicted on him by Antifa. After being restrained for a time by some Antifa members, somebody then threw a milkshake laced with quick dry cement in it, a substance which can cause all manner of horrific burns and other injuries to the victim. Predictably, the far-right media and social media were swift to blame Antifa for this incident, which threatens to make ordinary citizens have an adverse opinion of this peaceful (violent) group.
We smell a rat or, rather, to avoid being speciesist, something foul, because the use of quick dry cement really doesn’t sound like something Antifa might do. Sure, Antifa are passionate people and are fervent in their desire to make the world a better place for all. Quick dry cement, however, is more likely to be used by someone who has deep knowledge of modern construction techniques and materials.
So, we must ask, who is likely to be the brainchild behind the use of quick dry cement? Who has an encyclopedic knowledge of building things? Thinking logically, it is most likely to be someone whose very career has involved the construction of hotels, casinos, towers etc. Someone who would name the most grandiose buildings after them. Yes, this seems like the right path to follow.
Occam’s razor says that Trump himself is behind this and that he is utterly motivated to discredit Antifa. This is Trump’s Crystal Nacht! It follows that Trump MUST be impeached now and surely cannot and will not survive this incident. The good name of Antifa MUST be preserved and Trump MUST go!
Pbier may be missing the difference between cement and concrete.
It’s good to see the AT’s own Henry David Thoreau back from the woods. I fervently hope and pray he didn’t experience any endangered animals eating any endangered plants, or vice versa.
I have a cabin in the woods, and in my experience it’s a jungle out there.
With all due respect, I imagine the US Senate makes the jungle seem tame. I’m just thankful they haven’t unisexed our men’s bathrooms yet. The budget deficit already took a $1 billion hit when they put 8’ wide stalls in the women’s rooms before Mikulsky retired.
in a BNN “Flash”
Recent reports from pig feed companies in China show a drop in sales of around 40% indication that about 40% of Chinese pigs are now dead.
While many have been killed because they are infected and dropped dead, most have been sent to slaughter and not replaced for fear that the replacement piglets would catch African swine fever and also drop dead, causing a 100% loss of investment.
While the Trade war has prevented the VORACIOUS CHINESE HORDES from purchasing delicious US pork products, including bacon, rising prices in China will at some point make it cost effective for the Chinese to buy US pork for VORACIOUS CHINESE CONSUMPTION.
BNN recommends that you contact the White House and give them your full support for the Trade War. Saying something like Screw those Slant Eyed Chink Bastards will get the message across.
It is also recommended that you purchase a freezer unit and then make a shopping trip to your local supermarket when they have a bacon sale.
Clean them out!
Better safe then sorry!
This has been a BNN (Bacon News Network) Flash Alert!
BNN is more accredited then Accredited Times
and I self identify as a Christian White Male!
Don’t be judgmental!
Which of your living ancestors would you like to submit for cannibalism?
As Antifa seems to work more with their mouths, then with their hands, there is little likelihood that it can use either cement or concrete correctly.
Misusing it on the other hand ….. is guaranteed!
Sorta like using detergent powder to cut drugs.
Some of my best friends are builders, and they say quick-dry cement was a contributory factor in the 9/11 building collapse.
The global warming heat wave has been brutal in the UK, with vulnerable people dropping like flies, even here in Wales where there are disused mines to provide shelter from the midday sun, so I fully understand how it might disturb the hibernating slumbers of a grizzly bear.
Seriously Pbier, you need to shape up and decide which species suits you best. Then you will find it easier to focus on the job at hand, and churn accredited articles out at BLM’s pulitzer winning rate of knots.
With respect, Missy, your comment betrays a fundamental lack of understanding of what it means to be polytranspecies curious. I am all species and none. This is who I am and I just wish people would accept me for who I am, as a polytranspecied-individual.
As for matching BLM’s productivity, this would be impossible. POC are simply much more productive than white folk, and that’s a fact.
Perhaps I was being too harsh, but you did seem more at ease with yourself identifying as a dog. I also agree POC are more productive, even within the same family. Just look at my sister!
When being lazy
self identification as a sloth is best!
Some joker told me the way to learn German is by studying Hitler speeches, so I watched the rare footage of Hitler’s first speech many times, but not one single Nazi salute! The video is very grainy, it may be tampered. Is it fake?
Honestly, you should probably be in prison for watching those speeches.
In the interests of objectiivty – something we here at Portland Community College rate very highly – I’ve just watched the video of Hitler’s first speech (but not before contacting our counselor to borrow one of the department’s emotional support animals)
Bracing myself (with Llama on knee) I’ve just watched his performance. By Allah! No wonder he appeals to rednecks; his English is as utterly unintelligible as their own!
I support peaceful protest with milk shakes, especially homemade ones like in the picture, but the straws bother me. Plastic straws are not as sharp as pointed sticks, but they can damage sensitive parts of the body such as eyes.
I would ask anyone who attends Antifa demonstrations to please wear protective dark glasses, they keep you safe and anonymous in the blinding heat.
You have a keen eye for detail, Missy!
But let’s not forget the real reason plastic straws should be removed from shakes before being thrown at Alt-Right fascists. It’s not because they might be harmed (after all, being subhuman, they don’t feel pain like us); it’s because they don’t care about the environment and can’t be trusted to recycle them properly.
How would you feel knowing your anti-Fa milkshake’s straw wound up strangling a dolphin or baby turtle? Pretty bad, I expect.
Missy jus wasapp gob smack you back! Was goin on grizzly boy???
Trust you to get the wrong end of the stick!!!
They obviously threw quick lime in that Nazi’s white supremicist Patriarch’s face a as a joke!, dont you get it? F*ing hilarious! – sheesh these far right figures are sooo thin skinned! (guess that’s why the chemicals burn through so quickly- LOL!).
Full figured much loved BBC comedian Joe Brand (instead of her usual hilarious repartee about xer eating soo much cake), suggested on air that throwing battery acid in the faces of Nazis such as Farage would be better than milkshakes! LOLOL. And some Nazi UKIP snowflake complained to the police that they were offended!. Free speech bruh!. Throwing battery acid in peoples faces is a practical joke much loved on the subcontinent, and (of course) London. Get with the times FFS!.
Some guys are ready with their own BOOM
In the UK they made guns illegal so that criminals would not use them, because it would mean breaking the law. The states should emulate this sensible measure. Sharp objects have also been banned in London to stop the knife crime that Borris is responsible for (#Stormzy). I propose banning spoons to sort out the heroin problem, and mirrors/ banknotes to stop cocaine use.
Go ahead, make my day!
LOL!
Fantastic article Pbier. You can tell Hitler’s a bad guy just by looking at him. Look at the way he scowls and arrogantly screams about things. He simply had to be stopped, or else our allies in the Soviet Union would have been crushed, and then all might be lost for progressives. World War II also helped bankrupt Britain and destroy the evil British Empire, which Hitler apparently loved. Luckily some prominent officials managed to get Britain to agree to defend Poland should they be attacked, which in retrospect was worthwhile, and only resulted in the deaths of many privileged whites, who had nothing better to do anyway.
Surprisingly, I’m still under the weather even after my vegan tropical retreat last week. I thought consuming liters of pineapple juice blended with kale every day would make me feel better, but I guess the detox process takes longer than I thought. I’ll have to stay on this cleanse for a little longer I think, until I reap the rewards.
Did you accidentally eat some meat? Not only is meat a great contributor to the climate EMERGENCY, it is also terrible for your personal health. Pineapple juice and kale would normally render you full of energy, but I’m worried you might have inadvertently ingested some spare ribs or rump steaks.
