I guess because nobody had ever been really invested in Dolezal, or really had even heard of her before she was outed as a whigger. We've seen it in microcosm here with Warren, even after he had come to realise Wu was a scumbag of the first water he was still defending her in as far as being "a progressive" went. Even now it's impossible to get him to grasp that her supposed political opinions are indivisible from the general tissue of lies that is her life.

She recently caved on both Medicare For All and cannabis, which I thought were two of her main issues.
So I get your point. Although I did say several times that Vermin Supreme or a large iced coffee would both make better candidates. Just that Voehl or Lynch wouldn't.
Did you just reference Ingmar Bergman?
As to the main point, I think "identifying" as Jewish is a more confusing area for some than "identifying" as black or "identifying" as a software engineer. Because although you don't become Jewish by just saying you are, you can become a Christian just by saying you are, and that's the reference point for a lot of people, I imagine.
Not that I'm defending Salazar.

Just as with Julia Salazar, if any major outlet were to publish a factual CV of John, he would immediately be defended. Because to his defenders, what he identifies as and what he believes now are all that matter, facts be damned. To them, facts are the patriarchy's way of excluding the marginalized and the othered, who have "complicated" life stories.

Interesting that Rachel Dolezal was not defended for her wholesale fabrication of personal history, while Salazar and John have people rallying around them.

Which just makes me think there's something to this whole racism thing and people actually hate Rachel for being black.

I'm still trying to work out the maths on this stuff, obv. The struggle is real.

They defend Sean "Talcum X" King to the utmost and almost immediately throw Rachel Dolezal under the bus even though the former is the first-time BLM slacktivist and the latter is the many years local NAACP official. It is a strange world that operates around us.

BLM is some Johnny-come-lately bullshit and NAACP is, whatever else it is, a venerable institution that has been around forever. There's more invested in keeping the NAACP respectable looking. BLM doesn't even have anyone in charge of it as such. Also a lot of BLM is white people pretending to be black or white-passing people pretending to be blacker than they are.

So in short Dolezal is guilty of the cardinal SJW sin of "cultural appropriation" but was also in an organization that has people in charge of it that can declare someone like that finished. BLM has no such authority and is packed with the kind of people who would be uncomfortable to out someone like that because they're phonies themselves.

Fascinating article - great find. The original investigative piece is a masterclass in disassembling someone's dissimulated background for mass dissemination:

We should all be taking notes.

The best part is the by line is shared by a Middle Eastern man and a Hispanic woman, so critics can't resort to usual "THIS WAS A SMEAR JOB WRITTEN BY WHITIES!" tactic.

I love how Salazar was all about "Hey, I'm a Jew and an immigrant!", but the minute it's revealed that she fudged the truth about those things, she's like, "Why all this emphasis on me being Jewish and an immigrant!?". I can imagine that Wu gets an expose like that, the minute John's past is revealed, he's going to be all like, "Why is it so important to everyone that i'm not actually a journalist, engineer, degree holder, woman, politician, or human being?"

I actually read one article that was defending her and I found it to be somewhat compelling. It was more like thought experiment, "if we believe in girl's penises, why we can't believe in well tanned blacks?".

But I can't find it. :(
 
And which political orientation tends to find greater success in major cities where this is an issue, I wonder?

Public transportation is terrible nationwide. The liberal cities don’t fund it enough while the transportation authorities are famous for lining their own pockets.

The conservative pockets of the country don’t even bother with the lie and don’t deal in much public transportation to begin with.
 
Methinks the reason for John's constantly-shifting and evolving history is simply the pragmatic need to be able to claim -- on the fly -- "standing" in whatever it is he wants to pretend to have expertise or experience in. It's part of the mental process that allows him to say his usual "So I know firsthand..." or the phrasal equivalent.

If the subject is how awful black folk are treated, he can "prove" he knows what he's talking about by inventing a past where the KKK used to give wedgies to his classmates in grade school, and had daily lynchings during playground recess. So, you see, he knows firsthand.

I have no doubt that if he were a bit older, he'd be claiming he was walking past the 16th Street Baptist Church on the day it was bombed by the KKK in 1963, and he was also there to witness when Bull Connors ordered the dogs be unleashed.

It's possible that once he blurts these things out, he actually comes to believe them in his Forrest Gump mind, where life truly is like a box of self-serving and self-aggrandizing chocolates. This is how he convinces himself that he is an expert in whatever he fancies himself to be, despite all objective evidence to the contrary.
 
New York City's MTA is underfunded?

For the 2017 fiscal year they reported just over $80 Billion, yes with a B, in assets, a yoy increase of $2.6 B.

The MTA is "underfunded"

Fucking Wu.

You mean "In Defense of Transracialism" by Rebecca Tuvel?
https://web.archive.org/web/2017061...library.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/hypa.12327/full
This article got her witch-hunted into oblivion by the SJW contingent in academia, in a rare instance of being too progressive for their tastes.

I think the majority of people that are willing to praise the public transportation system of any city or any country were tourists that just visited for a week or two.

Yeah, It's pretty well funded. The money is just mismanaged and no one can be held accountable. The MTA even admits this. You could triple the budget and the trains would still be a mess. I'm just glad that, compared to SF, at least people here have the decency to shit on to the subway tracks as opposed to just on any/every street.

John's solution to every problem seems to be throwing money at it. This extends from his own personal experiences. While it has brought him comfort and a bunch of toys, it really has done nothing to improve John as a person. After a exhausting the generosity of his parents, and a decade of Frank bankrolling him, he is in the same place he's always been - with his hand out looking for other people to fund another failure.

That was literally your plan last time. Why does anyone take this bitch seriously? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Other People's Money is the OPM of the masses.

I grew up in a midsized midwestern city that was served by several independent bus companies, all of whom were at least moderately profitable and provided reliable service. Then it was decided they must all be combined into a public utility, under the auspices of the usual gang of idiots at city hall. Cuz One Ring to Rule Them All always works so well. Prices rose, service declined, and the perpetual excuse was that they were "underfunded".
 
Brianna is like Wilbur Ross minus the earned success and good work ethic. Ross lied to Forbes about his wealth so that he could get into their billionaires list. Lying once and being believed made it easy for him to lie to them for another dozen years until someone FINALLY did the research. Dude is Secretary of Commerce now, so he’s not hurting.

But he’s an example of how Brianna’s early lies to low rank publications made it easy for her to be believed by supposedly respectable publications.

Brianna could raise a lot of money this cycle. I know it’s an unpopular opinion here, but she’s got the juggernaut going.

Vox let her get away with saying she was an architect of the Blue Wave when really she just lazily tethered herself to it. The claim is obviously bogus and we know that, but online donors just becoming familiar with Wu night, at a glance, think that Wu and Pressley are equals.

It’s already happening, and she’s banking on it continuing.

And why shouldn’t she? Despite the truth being available, you can’t deny that Brianna has benefitted from ignorance, lazy reporting, and her own lies for the past four years.

One of two things will happen before 2020: Either Brianna will raise a ton of money (not the seven figures she wants) and attempt to mend burnt bridges with MA Dem groups by blaming Warren, or someone will report the reality of Wu, and it will be taken seriously. She’ll lose either way, but she doesn’t care. She doesn’t want the job but the fame.

The only way a publication will report the truth about Wu — and the only way others will take it seriously enough to re-report — is if she fucks up again like she did with the Globe.

She’s not dumb enough to go around using racial and homophobic slurs anymore, but she IS egotistical enough to collapse under the weight of her self-image. Meaning, if she goes down, it will be because she pissed off the wrong people. The people who report the news and gatekeep who is or isn’t a model of the brave blue wave.

Apparently he was, but in predictable John fashion.

His particular segment was online harassment, so it was just John ranting about gamergate.

The person running that segment was Christina Warren, his podcast co-host.

And it was TechFest, a smaller accompanying conference to the actual New Yorker Festival.

So as usual, a sliver of truth and a lot of bullshit.
