Bloomberg's Quick Takes Twitter account just tweeted this headline:
"LIVE: Aerial footage shows massive crowds rallying to celebrate #Pride in Chicago"
Now you might think: surely there is something wrong here. Americans who had no particular feature that would ingratiate them with the Borg were told they could not leave their homes.
If a family member died, a total of ten people were allowed to mourn. Sorry, you stupid rubes. No exceptions.
The peons could not be allowed to attend a religious service, either.
As today's rally demonstrates, some people are evidently being allowed to make their own cost-benefit risk assessments. Others are not. If The Borg approves of you, you fall into the first category. If not, then the second.
This is a normal day for the Borg. This is how it operates.
Now you might think there'd be enough decent, humane, and fair-minded people in the Officially Approved groups who, as a matter of fair play, would admit that an unfair standard was being applied, and that the same rights they presently enjoy should be extended to all people.
Isn't that, after all, precisely how the LGBT folks portrayed THEIR OWN CAUSE not five years ago -- that all we want is to be able to do what others do?
So much for that. Now you backward idiots have to stay home while we fill the streets.
Imagine if unapproved groups did the same thing.
Well, we don't have to imagine, do we?
Why, they were "white supremacists" who cared only about getting a haircut. That's how the Borg dealt with that.
(And by the Borg, I of course mean the unanimous opinion of academia, the entertainment world, and academia.)
No empathy whatsoever for people whose dreams and livelihoods had been destroyed.
Remember the LGBT complaint? That in the old days they had been dehumanized and treated as despised outcasts? And that this would never be allowed to happen again?
Not to them, maybe.
But to The Unapproved? Well, it's open season, naturally.
Ridicule them. Call them stupid. Call them backward. Get in their faces. Accuse them of "white supremacy." Call all opponents "bigots." Ruin their reputations and businesses. Gang up on them alongside the entire Borg, so they feel like outcasts in their own society.
So much for "no more dehumanization." Revenge was evidently too tempting to pass up.
Wouldn't it be nice to run into more than seven people with consistent principles they apply across the board, and who hold themselves to the same standards they expect of others?
Last week I held a live webinar in which, among other things, I gave case studies of how I've monetized representatives of the Borg.
People are going to attack me for no good reason? Not only will I defend myself, but I'll emerge ahead.
I don't start these fights, but I do finish them.
And while I'm waiting in vain for people to say, "You know, even people who disagree with me should be treated like human beings and have their rights respected," in the meantime I'll monetize the haters.
How do I do that, and how can you do it?
It's all in the presentation linked below.
Along with another strategy I use to get traffic to my website and offers, a strategy that accounts for why I outsell people with followings ten times bigger than mine.
The presentation comes down for good tomorrow, so take some time to watch:
