German Meme Crackdown Leads to Irony Overload

The moonbats running Poland had better hustle if they want to be at the vanguard of the leftist plunge into the darkness of tyranny. They have moved to criminalize memes, but Germany is ahead of them:

[A] German right-wing journalist has been sentenced to seven months’ probation for mocking left-wing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser.

In its verdict on Monday, April 7th, the district court in the Bavarian town of Bamberg also ordered David Bendels to apologise in writing to Nancy Faeser.

Reports that Bendels was forced to write “I will not criticize moonbats” 10,000 times on a blackboard could not be confirmed.

Bendels is editor in chief of the news website Deutschland-Kurier. His crime:

The meme, which was posted by Bendels last February, shows Nancy Faeser holding up a sign, with the words: “I hate freedom of expression.”

Maybe the reason lefties can’t meme is that they have no sense of irony.

The Show Must Go On Unless…

In the performing arts, the show must go on — unless of course those in charge can’t find enough persons of a certain pigmentation.

From Maine’s Bangor Daily News:

After being told that it cannot make changes to the licensed script for a musical it plans to stage next week, The Grand theater in Ellsworth is making a last-ditch effort to add Black actors to the cast.

If it cannot find Black actors to play minor roles of two slaves in the musical, it will have to cancel the production, the opening of which has been delayed for a week, a theater official said.

It isn’t easy to find blacks in rural Maine, where the American population has not yet been displaced by welfare colonists from the Third World — although that process is well underway in Lewiston.

I’ve got an idea. Have white actors in blackface play the bit parts. Maybe Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon would like to visit Maine and volunteer. No?

Polish Moonbats Move to Criminalize Memes

As they say, the Left can’t meme. So Poland’s Ministry of Justice has published guidelines that may make memes illegal:

The guidelines for prosecutors announced on April 3 include provisions for creating a group of prosecutors specialising in pursuing “hateful acts”. They will examine content to spot “intolerant views and attitudes”, with special reference to those expressed against minority groups. They will also conduct searches of email inboxes and seize electronic devices belonging to those suspected of posting “criminal content” in public spaces.

Intolerant views are not to be tolerated — not while moonbats like Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk are cracking down on “criminal content.”

It is impermissible to offend not only non-Caucasians but also foreigners, Muslims, sexual deviants, and of course transsexuals:

The features to be protected by the guidelines include race, nationality, affiliation or ethnicity and religion as well as sexual orientation and gender identity – despite the absence of such grounds in the penal code.

Gasps former Polish Conservative Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki,

“Could someone really face criminal charges or even jail time over a meme? It may sound absurd but for all the internet jokesters who value freedom of expression, it’s no laughing matter.”

If you can’t beat them, throw them in jail.

Wallets Open for Another Murderer

When liberals virtue signaled by opening their wallets to Black Lives Matter while sociopathic vermin looted, burned, and tore down statues of our national heroes, it was consoling to hope most were not malevolent but merely gullible; they had been duped by the fiends who run the media. In contrast, those making offerings to Karmelo Anthony must know exactly what they are supporting.

The Blaze reports:

The online support fund for 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony — the suspect in last week’s murder of Texas high school star athlete Austin Metcalf, also 17 — has risen past the $150,000 mark.

In case you haven’t heard the appalling story from the outer Dallas suburb Frisco,

Frisco police told KXAS-TV they arrested and charged Anthony with the murder of Metcalf at a track meet Wednesday morning.

Jeff Metcalf, the victim’s father, added to the station that the suspect got angry after being told he was in the wrong place at Kuykendall Stadium and being asked to move: “I’m not trying to judge, but what kind of parents did this child have? What was he taught? He brought a knife to a track meet, and he murdered my son by stabbing him in the heart. The guy was in the wrong place, and they asked him to move, and he bowed up. This is murder.”

Sure is — with racial overtones. Hence the donations. No matter how low your opinion of moonbats, it will constantly require downward revision.

Regarding the killer, we can dispense with the usual “alleged”:

The arresting officer soon told a fellow officer arriving on the scene that he had the alleged suspect — and Anthony reportedly interjected, “I’m not alleged, I did it,” WFAA reported.

See WFAA’s report here.

A witness reportedly noted to police that Metcalf — who competed for Memorial High School — told Anthony he had to move from under his team’s tent, the station said, citing the [arrest] affidavit. With that Anthony opened his bag and reached inside, the witness told police, WFAA said.

Out came the murder weapon. Anthony’s supporters ask us to regard this as self-defense and the victim as having “started it.”

WFAA said police listed in Anthony’s arrest documents more than 30 witnesses who saw the stabbing, including students and coaches.

Open and shut — except that guilt and innocence do not matter to cultural Marxists, as we learned during the immolation of Derek Chauvin. Only identity does.

If moonbats would lavishly support Luigi Mangione for murdering a health insurance executive, why not pour money on Karmelo Anthony for murdering a white guy?

By now we are past the point where anyone could pretend progressives mean well.

Free Admission for Blacks at Utah Nature Center

A bedrock principle of liberal ideology is that American blacks are oppressed. For an example of how oppressed they are in real life, consider that in Ogden, Utah — far from the woke fever swamps of California and New York — their privileged pigmentation gets them perks like free admission:

The Ogden Nature Center is where folks in Utah like to go birdwatching. Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for kids. But if you are black you can visit the nature center free of charge.

Social engineers must have determined that utopia will require more black birdwatchers — hence Black Birders Week. Evidently there are already enough birdwatchers of the Hispanic, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander persuasions, so these groups have to pay admission.

As for white birdwatchers, there are too many whites in general, according to prevailing doctrine, so they can count themselves lucky they don’t have to pay double.

However, there might be a workaround if you self-identify as a black person.

If you can self-identify as a member of the opposite sex, certainly you should be able to claim membership in any race you please — unless of course the whole ideology is baloney, as some have come to suspect.

Pro-Hamas Mob Takes Over Grand Central

For generations, New York City’s Grand Central Station has been an iconic symbol of American civilization — which makes this appalling spectacle emblematic of the war from within being waged against it:

Our own media doesn’t seem to find this noteworthy, so let’s turn to the Jerusalem Post:

Anti-Israel protests shut down New York City’s Grand Central Station on Monday, according to demonstration organizer Within Our Lifetime [WOL].

Jews were warned to avoid this crucial transit hub due to masked and armed Islamic terror supporters.

Activists wearing keffiyehs entered the American landmark waving Palestinian flags and banging drums in response to a global strike called for by Palestinians over the ongoing war in Gaza, WOL leader Nerdeen Kiswani explained in a social media post.

Americans were locked out or trapped inside during rush hour:

With tedious predictability, the sinister pro-Hamas thugs claimed to be the victims, crybullying with improbable claims that projectiles were thrown at them from windows, the police were mean, et cetera.

As for the police actually maintaining law and order — as a New Yorker might say, forget about it:

New York lawmakers are considering a bill that would bar law enforcement officers from conducting traffic stops for minor violations.

Part of the effort behind the proposal is to further “racial equity and public safety,” Fox News reported on Monday.

As the situation unravels, there will be no public safety where liberals are in charge.
