This post starts with the Gateway Pundit story Merrick Garland Speaking at Alabama Church: Voter ID Requirements and Restrictions on Ballot ‘Drop Boxes’ are “Discriminatory”. Peak Stupidity views Merrick Garland as the Potomac Regime's Lavrentiy Beria from the days of Soviet Communism. He's pretty much pure evil.
Aside from the continually overlooked story of Black! churches breaking the laws governing their "non-profit" status, this excretion from the Regime Attorney General in Church is, as the Rolling Stones would sing, "lies upon lies upon lies upon lies, upon lies!" I don't think the Peak Stupidity readership needs our refutation of the bullshit out of Beria, his supporting of highly insecure voting methods in the name of "voting rights".
In the GP post there is a video by one Ami Horowitz, which I embedded herein. I'm not a fan of the high-talking host, and I do see the flaws with these idiot-on-the-street quick interviews*. For one thing, though I'd expect much of what I see there on the campus of Univ. of California - Berzerkely, one doesn't see the possible sane responders to Ami's questions regarding ID being required for voting. The 2nd half of the video, the clever questioning of black (east Harlem - brave young man!) New Yorkers using the answers provided by the UC-Berzerkely White idiots, also may skip the more "vibrant" black "folk" who hate Whitey, including Ami there (whether he includes himself or not). He could simply not include the sections in which some thug told him ALL the laws are racist, Whitey needs to bow down, and Ami should GTF out of the neighborhood if he knows what's good for himself. This was not a real survey, in other words.
Still, Ami's got a point, and I'll get to that first. These students that, by definition of Affirmative Action, can't be all that stupid, are indeed ridiculously ignorant. (Or, they're lying.) Do they spend all their time on the campus, never venturing downhill, west toward the Bay or south into Oakland a bit? Sure, the dorms, cafeterias, and coffee shops are all close by. Why venture out of there? I'm sure the more diverse coffee shops farther away are all safe and clean, but, you know, it's just sooooo emotionally exhausting to have to show the poor black people how to use the internet all the time and to have to give directions to the Highway Department.
His main point is that the young White people (the most verbose guy was middle-aged though) practice a form of racism called "the soft bigotry of low expectations". Hell, we all do. However, these people in the 1st section of the video would be horrified to be thought of as being bigots or discriminatory in any way, yet their low expectations of black people are downright ridiculous. That black people can't get on the internet easily for lack of funds or down to the Highway Department for a DL is not the low expectations most of us have with many of them.
To give credit where it's due, after my attitude in this post last week, a poll** on Rasmussen poll (for what polls are worth) on ID requirements for voting showed black people in favor of them 69%. This is from a tweet in the GP post:
1000 National Likely Voters - YesPeople are in general pretty reasonable. The nice respondents in Harlem are one thing. Their race hustler "leaders" are another. It was hearting to see this 2nd segment. However, Peak Stupidity's normal bigotry is the more important worry about the seemingly inherent violent tendencies of black boys/men of a fairly wide age range, and then the more widespread worry that the whole crowd is not generally on board with the ideals and morals of society that White people have built and envision. That's the expectations we have of vindictive New York State Attorney Generals, for example.
White - 74%
Black - 69%
Oth Non-White - 82%
All Voters - 75%
Oh, what about those initialisms in the title (not acronyms, as I only recently learned)? Here's what I don't like about the video. It's more of the DaRR - often just DRR - stupidity, that is "Democrats are the Real Racists. This is the standard GOPers way of being non-racist. "No, the GOP is the party of Lincoln. The rebels with all their slaves were Democrats, and then Southern Democrats supported race segregation and Jim Crow laws..." To keep this post reasonable in length, let me not argue all that right here. Just suffice it to say that LIRR. For fans of Billy Joel and John Derbyshire, that's not the Long Island Rail Road. It stands for: Lincoln is the Real Rasicst.*** OK, was, but you don't have to believe me. Instead, listen to the guy, in Charleston, Illinois in September of 1858,
I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality ... I will add to this that I have never seen, to my knowledge, a man, woman, or child who was in favor of producing a perfect equality, social and political, between negroes and white men..I don't think that Ami Horowitz and other DaRR spouters would like to hear that. Neither would the young women of Berzerkely, explaining why they don't study that pale male history. It's too emotionally exhausting. Yet, by the looks of them, some of them would be welcome in the DAR. That's the Daughters of the American Revolution. Were they members, they could learn about their Founding (possibly, actual GGGGGGGreat-Grand-) Fathers and how important controlling the power of the franchise was to them.
Instead, since they really care about power and control over any ideals that those men of long ago did, these young people, and the one guy, should go under the initialism TaRC. That is, These are the Real Communists. Merrick Beria would be more than welcome to join them.
* In addition to the flaw I describe above, let me mention those videos with guys trying to trade $25 silver ounce coins for dollars or quarters with people on the street. I get the point that most people don't understand sound money. However, I could see that even those that DO may figure the guy's a scammer holding coins that aren't 1 oz, 0.999 silver after all. Imagine if it were a gold coin. Who's got the budget to take a chance that someone like me might come along and be glad to take that fiat-money-valued $2,000 in an oz of REAL MONEY?
Yes, plenty of the people are ignorant, but likely not as many as the videos would lead one to think.
** There's something in the video that might explain a small share of the White "NO" answer percentage. That has to do with Libertarianism. Some readers might see what I'm getting at from the answers of the people in that 2nd section of the video. That there's another post ...
*** How about LiRRR? Lincoln is the Real Race Realist? Too redundant?

PS: Haha, funny, Alarmist, I just dug up my old library card. For the last few years I've been typing in the 14 digits card number and PIN from memory, but I had a brain fart. I wonder if the TSA would be OK with my library card # out of memory... if I were an illegal alien that is ... who could read ... tall order.
I'll check out your link shortly.
Adam, you've written about that before, along with your stories about not having a drivers' license and having not too many problems. I respect that, and this has to do with the follow-up post I am going to write. I've also driven without one, but that was because they took it away for a while.

PS
There wasthis coment under the video, alarmist,
This is why this song came out cause Punk was becoming emo=Alternative music. Anything can be alternative music these days=SwordFish
This song seems to confuse people. And the reason is - it is confusing.
The overarching theme is that believe has gone mad, I'd assume.
(That's why I'd see a connection to Tom Waits greyat record Swordfishtrombone).
I alos love the cover-scetch/drawing/(comic-book-cut-out?) with its trippy eyes (MDMA?).
Mod. I'd be a bit / tad ((hesitant)) with the Beria comparison of Merick Garland***. And I'd add: Not yet (I once (long ago) wrote a book-lenght paper about The Ontology of the Not Yet) - and this book was perfetly well linked to Stalin and Stalinism - .w.i.th.o.u.t. mentioning it (and - duh - - all this crossed my mind when I woke up not long ago.)
***I'd like to reformulate your Glrland-Beria close-guidance this way: Merick Galrand is one of the administrations darker knights.

PS: Good afternoon, Gentlemen,
"I suspect you could get through with a library card if you were really insistent..."
Just tell 'em you lost your wallet. Works every time. 😉

PS
Who needs ID? TSA is letting illegals pass through airport checkpoints without ID, and I suspect you could get through with a library card if you were really insistent.
As the Dead Milkmen once sang (actually it was more spoken word),
🎶
Came up from the ghetto with the help of my stiletto
Every day I hear the people groan
Why should we buy postage stamps?
We can make our own

It was a time following the big metal "hair bands" when perhaps the standard "rock" was getting tedious... little did I know what tedious meant until the era of rap... maybe 2 months in, more than enough ....
