Why suddenly outrage over touching by Sen. Biden ?

Posted on April 6, 2019 by Walter H. Schneider

Updated 2019 04 09: to add pertinent comments on and links to information on VAWA. No one should be eager to participate in the campaign of outrage, disdain, scorn and outright deprecation against touching by Sen. Joe Biden.  The largely hysterical reactions against him in the aftermath of the #MeToo movement address nothing criminal, as far as anyone has determined, so far.  It does not seem likely that anything worse than that will surface. The curious aspect of the media’s overreaction is that, if Sen. Joe Biden did anything that warrants the media feeding frenzy now, what is it that triggered it?  Is there anything at all in what accusers … Continue reading →

Start of a bad ending: The Feminine Mystique

Posted on February 22, 2018 by Walter H. Schneider

….previous (home page for this essay) Part of the series ‘Communism → second-wave feminism → social re-engineering’ Index and preamble for series Last updated 2018 10 16 ‘The Feminine Mystique’, the start of a bad ending Betty Friedan, the author of The Feminine Mystique, had decided that women in the U.S. did have a problem, an undefinable problem that no one could put a finger on.  She nevertheless decided to describe what it was and called it “the problem with no name.”  Betty Friedan was by no means the first to express those sentiments, she merely popularized them in the U.S.A. and in doing so catered to a demand market.  She went to great … Continue reading →

The White Rose: Examination of Bias

Posted on November 28, 2017 by Walter H. Schneider

Updated 2018 09 16: Format corrections, added links to related article on Mildred Harnack Compared to the other members of The White Rose, an organization of predominantly students who peacefully resisted the Nazi-regime, Sophie Scholl receives an extraordinary amount of the interest of the public. That was not always so. The extent of the interest attracted was predominantly directed at, but about equally shared by Hans Scholl, one of the two founders of The White Rose (the other one was Alexander Schmorell), and by Sophie Scholl, who joined them quite some time later, when she eventually attended university. “The White Rose (German: die Weiße Rose) was a non-violent, intellectual resistance group in Nazi Germany led by a … Continue reading →

The Myth of the Oppressed Japanese Women

Posted on July 24, 2017 by Walter H. Schneider

David Thomas, in Not Guilty — In Defence of the Modern Man, dispels the myth of the oppressed Japanese Women. Not Guilty …although [British] men have marginally more influence in six out of the eleven categories, in none of them do they have the dominance enjoyed by women in their most influential areas.  The overall average works out at a marginal advantage for the female partner by 51 to 49.  It is also worth noting that the two strongest areas  for men – motor and health insurance – have to be considered in the  light of the fact that, for white-collar workers at least, both may well be  included as part of … Continue reading →

Socialism begets Slavery

Posted on June 27, 2017 by Walter H. Schneider

Updated 2017 07 o2: To expand on the introduction. Introduction Socialism is founded on slavery.  Socialism cannot persist without slavery.  Left to themselves, socialist regimes become totalitarian.  That may take a short time, as in a revolution or through conquest by a socialist nation, or it may take centuries. The outcome was virtually always the same, throughout human history.  As explained farther down, Ancient Greece, long before the birth of Christ, had not only slaves but also a yearning for socialism.  Ancient Greece and the Ancient Roman Empire were socialist regimes when they perished. We admire those regimes, especially the Ancient Greek regime, which contributed so much to our yearning … Continue reading →

Islam, religion of peace – chapter and verse

Posted on November 15, 2015 by Walter H. Schneider

The concept of and assertion that Islam is a religion of peace clash with reality. The links shown after the preamble are to Quranic  verses shown at the Quranic Arabic Corpus, an annotated linguistic resource for the Holy Quran.

Debunking feminism and its claims

Posted on December 7, 2014 by Walter H. Schneider

Debunking feminism and its claims is perhaps what the title of the books by Jan Deichmohle should have been translated to.  Literal translations tend to become awkward. Jan Deichmohle wrote: Hi Walter, these are short English and German descriptions of the book for your blog: Refutation of Feminism and All Feminist Assumptions Since the 1980s Jan Deichmohle has been writing books to refute feminism. The topic was rejected by all mainstream publishers, often-enough bashed and ridiculed. Now his basic findings have been published: “Culture & Sex. Feminism: Big Mistake – Severe Consequences” as the first book of a series “The Two Sexes”. The book is available now in German language. … Continue reading →

Detroit documentary — Gangs, drug dealers, economic decline, bankruptcy

Posted on September 16, 2014 by Walter H. Schneider

Updated 2018 08 19: Minor edits, added links to related articles Detroit documentary — Gangs, drug dealers, economic decline, bankruptcy  (1hr 22min) is an interesting YouTube video by Al Profit.  It describes a vicious circle but pays scant attention to fatherlessness in families. Two things struck me about the documentary. One is that the cycle it chronicles, ‘Gangs, drug dealers, decline of the economy’, does not necessarily describe the correct sequence of actions and consequences. The other one is that it barely mentions an obvious, major contributing factor of the decline and decay of Detroit, fatherlessness, although it is alluded to in passing.  Right at the beginning (@3:19) a man states: “This … Continue reading →

Totalitarianism is as totalitarianism does.

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Walter H. Schneider

Totalitarianism is as totalitarianism does.  It shows itself for what it is, regardless of what it is called. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.“ — George Santayana Outrage Over Obama Sing-Along Elementary school students taught to sing praises of President Obama. More: Fox News Item I was born in Germany, in 1936, and began school during the Hitler regime. I do remember having to sing, first thing in the morning in school, the national anthem, “Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alles, ueber alles in der Welt….” (“Germany, Germany above everything, above everything in the world….“), upon which followed the Horst Wessel song, “Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen … Continue reading →

Flawless flawed — What about children?

Posted on June 6, 2013 by Walter H. Schneider

Last updated 2019 04 20 Flawless flawed — The premise of “Flawless“, a short film to be produced about domestic violence, contains a major flaw. (A link to “Flawless”, the film about domestic violence, cannot be provided, as it appears that as of now – 2018 03 29 – the film has not yet been completed.) The feminists have been telling us all along that women are the only victims of DV worth worrying about. The makers of the film want to give men recognition as victims of DV. Does that then mean that there are no children who are victims of domestic violence, and that therefore it is not necessary … Continue reading →
