Witch hunting
What does this remind me of? Oh yes…
The term blood libel refers to the false allegation that Jews used the blood of non-Jewish, usually Christian children, for ritual purposes. The Nazis made effective use of the blood libel to demonize Jews, with Julius Steicher’s newspaper Der Stürmer making frequent use of ritual murder imagery in its antisemitic propaganda.
So, in a similar vein, terfs use the blood of trans women to thicken their energy drinks.
Blood libels, together with allegations of well poisoning, were a major theme in Jewish persecution in Europe throughout the Middle Ages and into the modern period. They were a central component in the development of modern antisemitism in the 19th century.
That’s ok though. Don’t worry about it. These people whipping up murderous hatred against feminist women defending our rights…they’re fine. They’re just more enlightened than the rest of us.

I was watching the livestream on YouTube, right up to the point where the camera was turned off. The women were seriously concerned about how they were going to leave safely; and I have been worried ever since in case they didn’t all manage to get away without incident. Fortunately, a lot of men seemed to have caught wind of the possibility of an even more aggressive than usual fascist turnout, and were milling around with the women to protect them during the event. But still, I won’t be comfortable until I know they’re all home safe.
There is a serious argument to be made that every one of their chants and mantras are DARVO.
No. People who don’t buy into what the cult is selling are trying to prevent the pushing of an incoherent ideology on vulnerable children which makes them dissatisfied with their own bodies, and the horrific medical and surgical interventions on those kids which will inevitably lead to the premature deaths of many. It is those in favour of such treatment who will be shown to have been the ones who kill kids.
On the contrary; she’s not the one wearing a mask, and using illegal amplification equipment in an attempt to stop those on the opposing side from having a voice.
In another parallel, just as Henry Ford, through his newspaper the Dearborn Independent, helped to spread anti-semitism in his day, we have many large corporations, including media outlets, promoting and enforcing gender ideology, and demonizing its opponents, making Ford’s efforts look puny and amateurish by comparison. That power and influence might be harder to dislodge, as it is extra-governmental, so not vulnerable to electoral pressure. Mind you, the way that trans ideology captured government departments was certainly extra-parliamentary, and largely outside the review and discussion of normal legislative processes and channels.
How responsive corporate trans activism might be to economic pressure remains to be seen. Whether or not they will cave as they gauge which way the wind is blowing is also an open question. The wind certainly seems to be shifting, and more people outside the twittersphere are starting to say “Hang on a minute…” Businesses could prove to be more vulnerable to pressure if they see a potential impact on their bottom line. There’s a fine line between saving face and cutting your losses. The last one off the bandwagon might just ride it over the cliff. On B&W we certainly seem to see a lot of social media pushback against what seems to be tone deaf, trans-inspired, anti-woman corporate messaging from woke coms interns in need of adult supervision. Companies don’t usually want their brand awareness flown into the ground. How much are trans “rights” worth? How committed are they? Social engineering is one thing, but the quarterly report is another.
Hitler or Trump. I mean they can’t actually accuse ‘terfs’ of the thing they’re doing – it wouldn’t be very convincing and it might give the game away – so they have to take it to the next level. (And ‘mutilate’ doesn’t work very well in a chant.)
