When I tell people in Texas about my experiences in Wisconsin workplaces that are very similar to theirs, their response is along the lines of "What the hell is wrong with those people?"

The Greeks say similar things about the Germans.

I'll give you an example or two.

So I was talking to a woman who works in a state agency in Austin. I told her about how the State of Wisconsin developed an internal "Violence in the Workplace Policy" and asked her if the State of Texas had done anything like that. She said no. So I proceeded to tell her about how Wisconsin did this with instructions about what you could and couldn't SAY that might constitute the equivalent of violence. For example, a supervisor couldn't SAY jokingly to an employee, "Gosh, we really need you here and if you take a lateral into that other Department I'll have to kill you." According to the goons in State Personnel in Wisconsin that constitutes violence and can be grounds for disciplinary action or termination. To which the woman responded, "What the hell is wrong with those people?!"

I think roughly 1/3 of Milwaukee is less than 5 steps from being direct descendants of Hitler.

AMERICANS FOR HITLER
On the eve of World War II, the German American Bund insisted the Nazi salute was as American as apple pie.

By Mark D. Van Ells

Jesus Christ and Adolf Hitler. Only a Nazi would have dared to compare. “Hitler is the friend of Germans everywhere,” one girl in a Nazi youth camp remembered being told, “and just as Christ wanted little children to come to him, Hitler wants German children to revere him.” The comment may hardly sound shocking, considering the Nazi mindset, but the girl who heard it wasn’t in Düsseldorf or Stuttgart or Berlin. She was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In the heartland of America, American children were being indoctrinated into Nazism as the Nazis prepared to take over Europe.

The youth camps were run by an organization of German immigrants in the United States to cultivate a loyal Nazi following in their adopted homeland. All but forgotten today, the group known as the German American Bund (bund is German for “alliance”) was one of the most controversial political groups of the politically uncertain 1930s. Nazi ideology taught that all Germans were united by blood and that the descendants of German emigrants around the world needed to be awakened to their racial duties in support of Hitler. The United States, 25 percent of whose population traced ancestry back to Germany, was a tempting target for Nazi recruiters. Forty-three percent of the population of Wisconsin, a state noted for its beer and bratwurst, was either German-born or first-generation German American in 1939. Nazis believed those German Americans could be awakened to their cause.

It's real. I'm not hallucinating. That 43 percent number was a lot higher in Milwaukee.

This is the whole feminist thing. When I was studying gender issues
in the 1990s, what became clear is that they lie literally about
almost everything, and nobody dares to contradict them.

We're now seeing a new round about this "25% of college girls are
raped." I did a lot of research about this in the 1990s, and the true
figure is "0.1% of college girls get raped." But nobody dares to
contradict the 25% figure, and it's used as leverage to fund various
feminist and women's studies programs to employ women with absolutely
no job skills whatsoever except to bash men.

And it's caused real damage, as I've written about several times. 72% of
black children and 30% of white children grow up in mother-only families,
because feminists tell the mother to go into court and lie about domestic
violence. As a result, these children have no fathers, except for a string
of men in their mothers' bed, some of whom abuse children and some of whom
abuse men.

A child who grows up with no father except for a string of men in his
mother's bed is going to hate his father's generation. I blame
feminist policies for the fact that black teens are killing each other
in large numbers, and I blame feminist policies for the financial
crisis, where white "financial engineers" purposely created fraudulent
subprime-mortgage backed securities and sold them to investors in
their fathers' generation, resulting in massive homelessness and
bankruptcies.

I realize I write about this all the time, but it doesn't take much
to get me started again.

That's part of the craziness we've been talking about.

Do those Wisconsin state employees even realize what idiots they are?
Or are they so stupid that they have no idea how stupid they are?

[Higgenbotham]

John, you are absolutely correct.

I was telling this same woman in Austin about what was known internally in the state agencies among the men in Wisconsin as the "Sisterhood". It was the radical feminists who had taken over the agencies. She said that while those type of women do exist in state agencies in Texas, they have not destroyed the internal functioning of the agencies.

Do those Wisconsin state employees even realize what idiots they are?

They have no idea.

Another example of what a screwed up state Wisconsin is.

A friend of mine works for a state agency up in Wisconsin. One day he sent me some kind of an arbitration brief or a legal brief indicating he had won a case that had been ongoing for 5 years. I had no idea he was under duress.

So I read the brief.

What it was about was he had been walking through the office en route to discharging his job responsibilities when "Ms X" decided she didn't like the way he was looking at her and lodged a complaint with the Personnel Bureau in Madison, Wisconsin. Rather than investigate, the lawyer immediately took the side of "Ms X" and instructed my friend not to walk in certain areas of the office where "Ms X" was "feeling uncomfortable". My friend appealed and it took him 5 years to win the case.

I knew both him and "Ms X". "Ms X" was certifiably loony and had recently been divorced. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY her complaint was valid. My friend is much younger than "Ms X" and has a way better looking wife. "Ms X" was so goofy she had said she hated the guy she married before she married him.

I told somebody down here in Austin this story and they were like "Oh my God".

One of the most incredible cases was the Duke rape case in 2007, where
the district attorney Mike Nifong purposely continued pursuing the
case even when he knew the charges were false. Nifong was eventually
punished, but not punished enough.

** Collapse of Duke rape case represents cultural change
** http://www.generationaldynamics.com/pg/ ... tm#e070422

One thing about this case is not only did Nifong purposely lie, but
also the NY Times purposely lied in supporting him. What I'm about to
say is hardly news, but the NY Times has become totally unethical, and
even criminal.

The recent Rolling Stone situation was a little different, in that
once it was discovered that the rape charges were fraudulent, the
editors of Rolling Stone apologized.

As far as I know, the editors of the NY Times have never apologized,
which make them all the more criminals.

There's a lot more we could say about this. Generally, I think the US as a country is in trouble. The culture is shot.

In some parts of the country like Wisconsin all of the day to day living has degenerated to the level of the Duke rape case. In other parts of the country, there are pockets here and there where normal people can take refuge, for now, but some of the day to day living is still dangerous. For example, there are women in Texas who are as nutty as the Duke rape case "victim" but they generally aren't allowed to work in a state office building. Whereas the nuts in Wisconsin would consider the Duke rape case "victim" a good job candidate for a state agency. She could highlight that on her resume and probably get hired into a Wisconsin state agency.
