Batshit Crazy Social Justice Warriors
CBO Study Says $15 Federal Minimum Wage Would Destroy Economy
According to a new study by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a $15 federal minimum wage would destroy at least 1.4 million jobs, expand the deficit, and decrease U.S. living standards. In other words, the current campaign to more than double the federal minimum wage would inflict severe economic and social harm.
Hayek: Social Justice Demands the Unequal Treatment of Individuals
Social justice is one of those squishy terms that is not easy to define. One thing we know for certain: social justice is not the same thing as justice, an age-old idea that was the focus of such thinkers as Aristotle, Plato, Augustine of Hippo, Aquinas, and Hume. (After all, if social justice meant the same thing as justice, the word “social” would be superfluous.)

Sir John A’s Defenders Are Fighting Back
Macdonald is richly deserving of harsh assessments but many people have grown concerned that the criticism has gone too far. Macdonald is being measured against 21st century standards and both his intentions and his administration are being interpreted wrongly and, sometimes, dishonestly, writes Patrice Dutil.
Taking on “Progressive Prosecutors”
District attorneys who refuse to enforce the criminal law are violating their oath to support and defend the Constitution—and could be challenged on those grounds.
From San Francisco to Los Angeles to Chicago to Philadelphia to Boston, urban dwellers have elected a new breed of district attorneys who style themselves “progressive prosecutors.” In this denomination, the adjective does the heavy lifting. The prosecutors’ campaigns have been funded by the bogeyman of the Right, billionaire leftist George Soros, and animated by extreme left-wing political movements such as Black Lives Matter. The politicization of what was, in its origins, an apolitical law-enforcement function will have serious consequences for public safety and order.

Psychologist Explains the Unhealthy Incentives Behind ‘Cancel Culture’
We now live in an era where people are constantly looking over their shoulders, or computer screens, worried that whatever opinion they post might make them victims of cancel culture.

University Of Ottawa Study Suggests Minorities Trip Out On Psychedelic Drugs To Heal Scars Inflicted On Them By Racist Canada
For people scarred by racism, one cure is a psychedelic trip, new research says. And it claims treatment with the same compound found in magic mushrooms and ecstasy decreases post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within 30 days.
For decades, the mind-bending effects of psychedelic drugs such as LSD have been well documented, but researchers in Canada and the United States wondered how the psychedelic drugs and psychotherapy would help people of color traumatized by racist abuse. The results were “a game changer,” Dr Monnica Williams, one of the co-authors of the study and a lead researcher at the University of Ottawa, believes.
Doesn’t say if it works on White folk, oops that sounds racist.
It’s Not Just ‘Gender Dysphoria.’ It’s Now ‘Rapid Onset Marxism.’
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a new rules package on Jan. 4 that explicitly strikes “gendered language” from the official House Rules. The rules prohibit the use of terms that designate the gender of familial relationships— father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, and so on—and replace them with gender neutral terms.
Tammy Bruce, host of Fox Nation, says this move is “obscenely Marxist” because it “deconstructs what it means to be female.” She went on to say, “It reduces all of us, it eliminates the value of the individual and our uniqueness as individuals.”
The goal of social policing of our language is thought control, which epitomizes the Marxist agenda.
