From here,
An analysis of the Hallmark Channel Christmas Love Stories,
Running down this year’s schedule of Christmas movie offeringsis likea tripintoan uncannyvalleyof shiny-teethed, blow-driedheteronormativewhiteness, with only a few token movies with characters of color. It’s like watching “The Stepford Wives,” but scarier, since the evil plot to replace normal people with robots is never actually revealed.
I suppose this is an attempt at humor. Perhaps they appear to be robots because they have not used the feminist script to mess up their lives. All real women have been assumed to have been captured by this script. And for extra virtue points, let us attack straight white people
None of this should be a surprise, because Hallmark movies, as cloying and saccharine as they are, constitute the platonic ideal of fascist propaganda.
I never suspected this. Let us find out more.
That is probably a startling statement to some. When most of us think about fascistically propagandistic movies, we think of the grotesque grandeur of Leni Riefenstahl’s films celebrating the Third Reich — grand, but cold sweeping shots of soldiers goose-stepping and flags waving, all meant to inspire awe and terror. But the reality is, even in Nazi Germany, the majority of movies approved by the Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, were escapist and feather-light,with a Hallmark movie-style emphasis on the importance of “normality.”
Every culture in the world, throughout all time, has striven for normality. It is what they do.
There’s plenty of reason that empty-headed kitsch fits neatly in the authoritarian worldview. It’s storytelling that imitates the gestures of emotion without actually engaging with real feeling. The Hallmark movie steers clear of the real passion or deeper emotion that tends to be the engine driving more artful fiction. Characters who have real feelings, after all, can prompt empathetic reactions in the audience, and empathy for others is the greatest single threat to the authoritarian mindset. And so schmaltz walks through the paces of “love” without touching on any of the messy but compelling realities of it.
These are feel-good stories. Many people have empathy for the characters in the feel-good stories, that makes the payoff even bigger when the Christmas Love blooms.
As for the messy and compelling realities, perhaps the reality would be less messy if modern women did not follow the feminist script.
Instead of characters driven by real feelings, therefore, the guiding hand of “normalcy” pulls the characters along through narratives — and unsurprisingly, that idea of “normalcy” doesn’t have a lot of room for the true diversity of American experiences.
I am not sure that it is “normalcy” that is the driving factor. Rather it probably is that a large group of women really like to watch these kinds of stories. Perhaps there is a reason that they do. Maybe they touch something inside about how they feel things should ideally be.
Hallmark movies, with their emphasis on returning home and the pleasures of the small, domestic life, also send a not-at-all subtle signal of disdain for cosmopolitanism and curiosity about the larger world, which is exactly the sort of attitude that helps breed the kind of defensive white nationalism that we see growing in strength in the Donald Trump era.
Well, she has me convinced. What we should do is have stories about career women who may or may not have any men in their lives, ones that come home to an apartment full of cats. Probably there is an untapped market there. This is after all, the path advocated by feminists. It is the dominant path. Is there anyone out there willing to invest?
I wonder if market forces matter…

Like all managerial types, Buttigieg is a box ticker. He is not a man who actually does things in the world. Rather, he participates in things, gains a credential for having participated in them and uses the credential to advance his career. He was valedictorian of his high school and “won first prize in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum’s Profiles in Courage essay contest.” Then it was off to Harvard and then Oxford for a Rhodes scholarship in Philosophy.
After accumulating all of the credentials he could from his college experience, he went off to work entry level positions in politics and the media, in order to build his resume and network of contacts. Then it was off to McKinsey & Company, one of the major training centers for managerial class strivers. In anticipation of a political career, he joined the Navy reserve for an uneventful turn as an intelligence officer. He finally landed as the mayor of South Bend Indiana.
Buttigieg has the nearly perfect managerial man resume. The only thing that tarnishes it is he may have accidentally done something useful while in the service, like empty a trash barrel or remember to turn off the coffee pot. Otherwise, his is a resume littered with participation medals. From youth to middle age, Pete Buttigieg has avoided doing anything that involves risk or sacrifice. Instead, his life has been like ascending a gentle slope to a position he has always known is waiting for him.
He exists because a system that has evolved over the last half century now selects for men like him. That system’s only purpose is to perpetuate itself, so it selects for people who will never challenge it or even question it. Instead, it populates itself with people, who have internalized the logic of the system to the point where it is habit. The hive mind of the managerial class is the sum of these automatons incapable of existing outside the managerial system.
He is also symbolic of his generation. The generation of Americans, who grew up in the Clinton years and reached adulthood at the turn of the century, are probably the most entitled and effete cohort ever produced. They grew up in the easy years after the Cold War and never faced anything resembling hard times. They came into the world expecting things to turn out well for them. They were also raised by women in a highly feminized educational system and took on those qualities.
The fact that Pete Buttigieg is a genetic dead end is probably the most symbolic aspect of his character. The oriental empires of the ancient age liked to employ eunuchs in sensitive roles. These were men without ambition, as it were, so they were never going to be a threat to the people at the top. The promotion of and popularity of homosexuals in the managerial empire adds a touch of Orientalism and irony to a system that is otherwise sterile and pointless.
It is easy for normal people to dismiss Buttigieg, but he is both a symbol of his age and the system that produced him. He is the full expression of the managerial class that has come to dominate the American empire. His rise is the polls at the expense of the yesterday men like Biden and Sanders is an important moment. The fact that he is every bit as sterile and pointless as the system that produced him could perhaps make him the fullest expression of the Managerial Man.

A couple of years back, a Christian magazine had the image of a pregnant teen on the cover. Essentially the article touted what a great student yada yada she was, and how hateful the Christian school was for not letting her
attendgraduatewalk up on stage and get her diploma while hugely pregnant. Even though the school had a strict policy everyone agreed to in order to attend, and this prohibited even school attendance for her. But they let all that slide, they just didn’t want her to publicly display herself as an unwed pregnant mother onstage. Her father thought this was too much so they called the media.That article pretty much epitomized everything wrong.

About an hour into the debate, they found their message: America, Bernie Sanders said, is “a racist society from top to bottom.”
One by one, the candidates echoed the message that “systemic racism” characterizes America.
“We can’t legislate away racism,” said Andrew Yang, because racism runs so deep in the American soul.
Joe Biden, verbatim (poor Joe): “The fact is that we in fact there is systemic racism.”
Elizabeth Warren even declared that “we need race-conscious laws in education, in employment, in entrepreneurship to make this country a country for everyone.”
By which she means the law should actually be written to privilege people of color.

one thing i love about Trump is that he is unashamedly 100% purely FOR and defends the American people … but not only that, he states that other heads of countries should do the same for *their own* country.
loving, protecting, defending, your own ‘tribe’ is a good thing. somehow we’ve turned that into a bad thing … that loving, protecting, and defending our own tribe has been twisted to mean that we hate other people and don’t care about other people and are vicious and mean towards other people. certainly some are like that, but most people in the world just want to live in a safe, loving group of people who support and care for one another.

I doubt that this matters much to most people.
Allowing Google to connect your devices is far more dangerous. It seems to me, most people have blithely gone ahead and done that anyway, in which case Google knows exactly where you live and work, who you are, where you spend your time and what you do on the internet (I bet they share this info with other outfits of similar political bent such as Facebook and WordPress and Amazon and the like).

He found himself in the ICU with tubes/IV drips in both arms, a breathing mask, wires monitoring every function and a nurse hovering over him, looking worried. It was obvious he was in a life-threatening situation.
The nurse gave him a serious look, straight into his eyes. Knowing he was not only a fighter pilot, but a Marine, she spoke to him softly and slowly, enunciating each word: “You may not feel anything from the waist down.”
Somehow he managed to mumble in reply, “Can I feel your boobs, then?”

Following Pelosi’s efforts to impeach Trump an aide to Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic Cathedral in D.C. He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day’s Mass, and asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.
The Cardinal replied, “No. I don’t really like the woman, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over some of Pelosi’s views.” Pelosi’s aide then said, “Look, I’ll write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 to you if you’ll just tell the congregation you see Pelosi as a saint.”
The Cardinal thought about it. “Well, the Church can use the money, so I’ll work your request into tomorrow’s sermon.” Nancy Pelosi appeared for the Sunday worship seating herself prominently at the forward left side of the centre aisle. At the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that Ms. Pelosi was present.
The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, “While Ms. Pelosi’s presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is not numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church, she tends to flip-flop on many other issues, she is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. She is also has established a reputation as a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief.
I must say, Nancy Pelosi is probably the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and uses her wealth to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for shirking her Representative obligations both in Washington and in California. The woman is simply not to be trusted.”
The Cardinal concluded. “But, compared with Hillary Clinton, Ms. Pelosi is a saint.

It is also clear to me as a physician – listening to the Chinese doctors – and viewing footage from the hospitals and clinics – that this is many orders of magnitude worse than what they are saying. Common sense will tell you that as well – are they really going to torpedo their entire industrial heartland for months – just because 300 people have died? — I think not – I think this is way worse than we can possibly imagine.
My mother-in-law lives in a smaller city – far on the western fringe of China – If Wuhan were Atlanta – she would be in a place like Boise. She had a fever about 8 days ago. Please note – official statistics note that there are 9 people in her province confirmed to have the virus. This belies the fact that she (never known to me to be a liar or fabulist ) has been telling my wife for days that there are hundreds upon hundreds of people all over the sidewalks and streets outside the hospital – and that the hospital is completely filled with patients. And apparently the crematorium has been very busy.

The actual film isn’t the Lecture-Palooza some, including this critic, feared. Still, the framing of the film’s release couldn’t be woker. Co-star Ewan McGregor praised the film’s feminist roots, saying it’s a blow against the “patriarchy.” The film’s stars extolled how many women were working in front of and behind the camera.
Gender progress is wonderful, but we’ve seen these woke campaigns crash and burn before.
Plus, nearly every male character in the film is a heel, a cad or much worse. McGregor’s Black Mask is an overt villain, but even minor male characters, some of whom are painted as kindly at first, turn on our heroines.

i think this MMA wife/sahm thing, and Liz’s comments, is a great example of how women are to adapt to their husbands.
even though Mike is military (retired), his job required him to be flexible, therefore Liz needed to be flexible to accommodate that. i remember Liz commenting somewhere that soon after they took that DC job, something came up where she said to him, “Do I need to start packing.” it showed how in-tune she is with her Man and how willingly she meets his needs.
Ton said MMA dude works out in his gym all those hours a day. he’s probably on a regimented schedule and likes it that way, so his wife would need to be on the same kind of regimented schedule. she’s adapting to him.
as far as the makeup and false eye-lashes (which i am not a fan of, btw! i think they look … fake! lol!) … that is totally a preference thing. i know many in the south who wear that kind of makeup. i prefer as little makeup as possible to look as natural as possible. but i’ve known some down here whose ‘naked’ face looks a lot different than their made-up face, and apparently they, and their husbands, like that.

what is irritating about the video clip is how they ragged on her for accommodating her husband! like making breakfast and coffee for him was something terrible! the one woman was able to get a little blurb in to support her, but they still picked that apart.

If nobody seems to accept the official line of few deaths and low infection numbers, what is the true story? The short answer is that when an authoritarian regime controls all media outlets and arrests anyone who talks outside the party line, truth is hard to discover. The Japanese government, which has very good sources in China, has told other governments that it believes hundreds of thousands may have been infected and thousands may already be dead.

Wow thanks for posting the original one! I thought that was normal!!!
Love doing the little things like that 😍 and I’m sure plenty of other normal women actually do that, too.
My husband as actually loved taking this lunch box thing that is actually a tiny oven to heat up the food. So I do meal preps in advance and make sure he has one to take. I stopped for awhile during the really sick pregnancy days and he missed it, just helps him stay on track.
Just started it again and sent me a text recently thanking me for keeping him healthy ❤️ it’s honestly the least a wife can do.
