15 Myths Millennials Accept as Fact Last week an everyday group of anti-gun nuts called Everytown published data that claimed there have been 74 school shootings since Sandy Hook. Most of us went, “No there haven’t,” because we’ve only read about a few. The president apparently does not have access to Google, because he ran straight to the papers and bleated, “There’s no developed country on earth that would put up with this. And it happens now once a week … We should be ashamed.” He’s accidentally right. We should be ashamed of these shootings. Gang violence among black youth is totally out of control and the lack of fathers has to be a factor. That’s obviously not the narrative he was going for, however. He was more likely going for the same old “evil, white, American patriarchy” garbage we were all taught in school.
So let’s take a step back and explain to children and the president of the United States that most of the truths they take for granted are completely false. For example …
1. THIS COUNTRY WAS STOLEN FROM THE INDIANS
We fought them for 400 years. They fought against us, alongside us, and behind us. Before we got here they were fighting each other, and yes, it was savage. War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage describes horrific mass graves from way before we got here. Indians used to shoot arrows into their victims for hours after the guy died so he’d be ****ed in the afterlife. The smallpox blankets were likely a myth. The worst we behaved was probably Wounded Knee but the reason everyone knows about it is because it was meticulously documented by outraged whites who were—and still are—disgusted by our behavior there.
“This country was built on legal immigration, and the ones who made it through learned the language and assimilated. … Today’s scenario is 15 million illegals ridiculing those of us who played by the rules.”
2. WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS
No, we’re not. We’re a nation of citizens. This country was built on legal immigration, and the ones who made it through learned the language and assimilated. Many didn’t get in. Today’s scenario is 15 million illegals ridiculing those of us who played by the rules. My green card took 15 years to get and I brought a ton of jobs with me. The Statue of Liberty doesn’t say “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and all their relatives.”
Oh, and don’t give me that old “They’re doing jobs Americans won’t do” line. They’re doing jobs Americans won’t do—for that price. In Canada, there are no Mexicans and the landscaping still gets done. We use teenagers.
3. THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON SLAVERY
Yeesh, this old trope. Some rich Southerners had slaves. Then there was a civil war and America’s bank account dropped to zero. After that the country was rebuilt from scratch without slavery. As Pat Buchanan put it, we didn’t start slavery. We ended it. And don’t get me started on reparations. We’ve already paid them.
4. AMERICA IS RACIST
I’ve already gone through this. I highly recommend you cut out this monitoring hate speech crap. I’m warning you, you’re going to end up censoring the people you’re trying to protect. Studies show that white people are actually the least racist group. Getting rid of all the racists would mean America would be almost all white. Therefore, fighting racism is racist.
5. BLACK YOUTH ARE TARGETED BY WHITE MEN
Zimmerman was a statistical anomaly but that didn’t stop everyone and their dog from wearing a hooded sweatshirt and Tweeting all about it. Black youth are in danger but it’s not Jews from Peru who are killing them.
6. WOMEN MAKE LESS THAN MEN
Obama Tweeted this old wives’ tale recently. Does anyone in the White House have a ****ing computer? Women choose to make less than men because they’d rather be at their daughter’s piano recital than stay at the office all night working on a proposal. When they don’t have kids, they actually make more than men. If women were cheaper labor, we’d hire them as often as we hire illegal aliens.
On The Independents recently, Jill Filipovic told me that resumes with female names do worse than the same ones with male names. I’m willing to accept that, but it’s not prejudice. It’s postjudice. Employers have noticed their male employees are more likely to stay at the office all night working, even when their daughter does have a piano recital.
7. PRO-LIFERS ARE SEXIST
Most women are pro-life. To ignore their rights while touting abortion is sexist. Also, gender-based abortion is becoming more popular. We’ve seen how that goes for women in China. It ain’t pretty. So stop using abortion rights as some kind of proof there’s a war on women when the opposite is true.
8. TRANNIES ARE WOMEN
Whether you cut your dick off or just start saying “I’m a woman,” that doesn’t mean you’re a woman. That trivializes what it is to be a woman. These mythical creatures can create life. You can’t just throw on a wig and yell “Me too.” That’s sexist.
9. GAYS LEAD THE SAME LIVES WE DO
I’ve heard Jon Stewart say this and it often comes up when discussing gay marriage and adoption. Do any of these people know any fags? They are perfectly wonderful human beings with whom I spend much of my time, but they are also hair-whiteningly decadent. They call me an amateur for having participated in a couple threesomes. They’ve had dozens of eightsomes.
10. CHRISTIANS ARE ANTI-SCIENCE
Maybe one in ten Americans believes the earth is only a few thousand years old, and most of those people are old ladies and dirt-poor farmers. They’re not shutting down schools and canceling Cosmos. The other 90% of us are totally okay with the big bang theory. Even the pope supports it. We understand there’s evolution and an incredible universe. We just think God is the one who set the whole thing up.
Also, if you love science so much, stop refusing vaccinations for your kid. You’re literally making us sick.
11. WE NEED FREE HEALTH CARE
Not so fast. Have you seen the way this administration handles money? We’re 17 trillion in the hole. That’s a lot. Seventeen trillion seconds ago we were cavemen trying to figure out fire. This country is rife with severe obesity and millions upon millions of illegals. We don’t have the cohesion that other free health care countries have, so this perfectly reasonable idea may be impossible.
12. THE EARTH IS DYING
There is a lot of evidence that says the earth is warming but not a ton of conclusive evidence that it’s our fault or that the warming is a bad thing. We keep hearing about a consensus but it’s ecologists, not real scientists. What all the experts and politicians really agree on is that we need more funding to pay them to look into this terrible problem.
13. THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE
The air has never been cleaner. We’ve never lived longer. Crime is at an all-time low. By virtually every possible metric, life has never been better. Yes, there was a school shooting recently. That doesn’t change the hatefact that schools have never been safer. Traveling, eating, fornicating, fighting—all safer than ever. The list goes on and on. I saw a homeless man today checking his iPhone while he asked for change! Does anyone in this country not have a TV? If you think things were so much better back then, get in a time machine and go there. Make sure you get your shots first though. God help you if you get sick.
14. DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH
When it comes to restaurants this is true, and that is why people always use restaurants to prove it. By any other standard, it tends to go pretty badly. I’m a race mixer but our family has decided to err toward Western values more than the American Indian ones because the West is the best. Assimilation leads to a sense of fraternity and that means a cohesive society. You ever see a wave pool in Japan? They are packed in there like sardines but they don’t mind because they’re all the same. When integration is discouraged you get Balkanization and we saw what happened in the Balkans. They played soccer with human heads.
15. WE’RE ALL EQUAL
You know there’s retards, right? You realize the children of geniuses tend to be smarter than the children of stupid people, yeah? This is why they ask sperm donors questions. That’s what happens when idealists have to practice what they preach. They scoff at eugenics until it’s time to make a baby. They love the gay lifestyle until their son brings home a tranny. They love diversity until it’s time to choose a place to live or a school for their children. They pretend we’re all equal but they insist the government enforce this because they secretly know it isn’t true and in fact see themselves as superior to everyone else. They’re free to think that, but before going on a rant about it, maybe they should look it up first. Better yet, shut up and leave us alone.
I have to take issue with #13.
Yes, technologically, we are so much better off than we used to be. Advances in science, medicine, communications, and a host of other things make this a fantastic time to be alive.
However...morally and spiritually, things are getting worse....MUCH worse. Deviant behaviors are running rampant and increasing. The majority of people are no longer outraged by corruption and malfeasance, governmental or otherwise. People are caught up in a mindset of “Well, that’s okay for you so I won’t say anything”. Only a very few seem to want to stand up for what is morally right anymore.
A certain Book already said this was going to be the case.
Ahem... Where are the necessary trigger warnings to this column??
Well he got a town named after him. The college was named after the town.

“Well he got a town named after him. The college was named after the town.”
Amherst,a town that has become a liberal hell.
.
Take the popes, kings and other rulers of the medieval era for instance, their lifestyles make today's politicians look like Boy Scouts.
In fact, we are living in a time where the average human has an astonishing amount of freedom, wealth and privilege. There is actually much less deviant and criminal behavior going on. Think about this: The streets of Manhattan are among the safest in the world - try walking the same streets just 50 years ago at night. The only difference is our mass media culture. Some pervert in Tulsa, Oklahoma can make national headlines where in earlier days, nobody ever would have heard of him. Don't let the 157 channels on television make you think the world is going to hell in a hand-basket. If they had cable TV in 1850s America, there would be plenty of horrible stuff to show.
Really? Or is it that people don't choose to remember past decadent behaviors?
Some of this stuff was a major issue in the 1920's and mid 1800's, especially in cities.
They were legal according to the laws at the time.
I agree with #12, within the next 2 billion years the Earth will be engulfed by the red giant the Sun becomes. Let the ants deal with it.
Homosexuals promoting their disgusting behavior in our streets? A significant portion of the population receiving welfare/EBT/Section 8 and making no plans to EVER get off of it? A pRes__ent who is making decisions that are actively destroying the country? People rejecting God in greater and greater numbers?
Yes...there were problems back then, but (IMO) the ones prevalent today would not have even been THOUGHT of in society back then. To me, it seems like there's only a very few people left who even care how bad things are getting....and barring an utter miracle, there doesn't seem to be a way to reverse it.
Yes...I am depressed this morning.
Gee, it seems that Louis Pasteur who was born some twenty five years after your Lord Amherst died, stole all that knowledge about germs and such that Lord Amherst had at his fingertips. I don’t know how the smallpox blankets deal could be true if it took another fifty or sixty years before anyone even thought about germ theory.
Speaking of myths as fact...
“”Zimmerman was a statistical anomaly...”
Speaking of myths as fact...”
Indeed it seems rather self-evident that he was an all too common victim of black sub-cultural self-destruction and collapse.
bumpity
You sure about the “smallpox blankets”?
Were they handled exclusively by those who had had smallpox and survived?
