To George Ciccariello-Maher, I say: you FIRST, sir

Does GCM want, at least, to have any kind of “discussion” about his puerile prattle? Of course not. His Twitter account is walled off like an elitist’s home.

GCM also indicates we have misrepresented him as “alt-left.”

Here we have his advertised “specialty” at Drexel (which, Mommy and Daddy, will empty your account to the tune of $34,000 per year):

It would appear not just by his Twitter account’s header but also by his self-bio above that GCM is enthralled with “la pelea” in Venezuela and that icon of South American success, Hugo Chavez — whose regime was not necessarily true Communist but some form of raggedy hybrid compendium of Socialism, capitalism, nationalism, redistribution and dictatorship. Chavez in fact encouraged the middle class to emigrate. Good decision.

The presidential replacement for Chavez, Nicolas Maduro, is not better but, unfortunately for he and Venezuela, presides over the now-current collapse of Venezuela on most every level imaginable. This is the nation possessing alternately the highest or one of the highest homicide rates in South America. Venezuela is also blessed with what is the highest “misery index” score on the entire globe in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Both Chavez and Maduro have made clear anti-gay statements. Drug money has fueled Maduro’s campaign. Venezuela’s current state of affairs is precisely because of its government.

This is the country and system that GCM so idolizes?

Let’s go further. Inflation is 370% or higher in Venezuela. Economic growth is at -10.1% for 2016. There is an estimated 80% scarcity in general products, massive corruption, leakage of public revenues. Oil production has dropped though Venezuela is oil-rich. It has mismanaged its currency and condoned three exchange rates which results in a massive black market of, well, everything. The government blames this on peoples’ hoarding. The massive spending programs of the 2000s did nothing to prepare anyone for the oil crunch. Electricity runs intermittently. Small riots are occurring when the basic necessities such as food and medicine cannot be found. There are two-day government workweeks. Rolling blackouts occur. Woman are having themselves sterilized as an answer to the country’s economic crisis: no children.

Perhaps that is what GCM ultimately seeks. The elimination of the human being from the planet.

Now there’s a Utopia.

Me? I think this is wonderful. GCM has provided me with the absolutely prototypical illustration of what I term a GOWP: Guilty Overeducated White Person. They are so ridiculous as to be parodies of themselves.

GCM stands up for what he now terms his “satirical” comments on Twitter. From the DailyCaller.com:

Drexel White Genocide Prof Won’t Apologize, Says ‘Violent Racists’ Smearing Him

by Blake Neff

A Drexel University professor who called for “white genocide” Christmas Eve isn’t apologizing, and instead says critics of his “satirical” remarks are “violent racists” who are apt to commit genocide themselves. Drexel is promising an investigation.

Ciccariello-Maher, meanwhile, isn’t apologizing, and is currently trying to protect himself by claiming the incident was an elaborate joke.

“On Christmas Eve, I sent a satirical tweet about an imaginary concept, ‘white genocide,’” he told Philly.com in an email. “For those who haven’t bothered to do their research, ‘white genocide’ is an idea invented by white supremacists and used to denounce everything from interracial relationships to multicultural policies … It is a figment of the racist imagination, it should be mocked, and I’m glad to have mocked it.”

The professor also denounced Drexel, saying the school was giving in to fascism by denouncing his advocacy of genocide.

Just a joke. Move on. It was funny as hell, right? Just as funny as black genocide, right?

An important question: Have we now gotten to the point as a culture where universities actually pay associate professors to advocate for genocide? Have we sunk that low?

Furthermore, why would anyone pay a piece of self-loathing hyphenate human flotsam/detritus like Drexel University’s “professor” Ciccariello-Maher a wage at all? You can read more insightful and scintillating material in any given 4th grade class.

Luckily Drexel University, itself a private institution, is not amused.

Back to GCM’s advocacy.

I say: you first, sir.

P.S.

Just had a thought: perhaps GCM is instead a young black man, in the sense that Rachel Dolezal is a young black woman, eh wot?
