DMS 042 – The manifest observable behaviour of Patreon

Jan 062019

Patreon is described by Wikipedia as “a membership platform that provides business tools for creators to run a subscription content service, with ways for artists to build relationships and provide exclusive experiences to their subscribers, or ‘patrons.’”

In 2017, founder and CEO of Patreon, Jack Conte, invented an anti-concept he called ‘Manifest Observable Behavior.’ Intended to distract attention from his own company’s unjust and subjective decisions to remove certain content creators from its platform – based on little more than their expression of views that could be associated with the ‘Right’ – the inherent contradictions in Conte’s use of that term soon became manifest.

The very statement that Patreon’s “decision to remove a creator page has absolutely nothing to do with politics and ideology and has everything to do with Manifest Observable Behavior…” is a manifest admission that it’s all about ideology.

‘Manifest’ means ‘obvious, plainly apparent.’ ‘Observable’ means ‘capable of being observed.’ ‘Behavior’ means ‘the way a person, substance, or machine ACTS under given circumstances.’

Yet no observed ‘action’ on the part of content creators is cited in Patreon’s unannounced ‘de-platforming’ of those content creators. The only ‘action’ observable here is that of Patreon itself. And through its actions, it has demonstrated that it is indeed ‘ideology’ and ‘politics’ that Patreon targets. Continue reading »

Agenda 2030—Blueprint for a global empire | Salim Mansur

Salim Mansur, Professor Emeritus at Western University, explains that the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 is a plan for a post-national world.

It is partly due to the abject failure of the UN’s efforts to bring the Global South into the fold of the developed and industrialized world that has caused a massive movement of people from these failed states northward and westward to the more stable, rich, and democratic states.

Agenda 2030 serves as a blueprint for the European Union and other Western nations to rid themselves of their sovereignty and alter the fundamental nature of their long-established cultures and political institutions in an effort to create a single global empire.

589 – Instrumental in my own construction

Whether in music or in life, we are all ‘instrumental in our own construction.’ In this second of our two holiday-season shows, show host Bob Metz winds up his hands-on personal musical demonstration when he reaches an ‘epiphany’ applicable to both music and to life in general.

You accept the musical cards as they are dealt you, and just as in life, you then dance to your own drummer and play your own tune. And if the tune you play is what makes you happy, then you’ll know it’s the tune that’s Just Right for you.

588 – The esthetics of music – On a personal note

Comments Off

Dec 272018

The appreciation of music is a completely subjective experience and could not be otherwise. Music elicits an emotional response at the moment of apprehension, which is one of the things making it such a powerful force, both personal and social. In the field of philosophy, music is found under the category of esthetics.

Over our next two holiday-season shows, we’ll be presenting a hands-on personal music demonstration by Just Right host Bob Metz. As he performs a few original instrumentals on his 2014 Christmas gift – an electronic ‘piano’ keyboard – Bob also reflects on music’s parallels to the larger world of life itself.

It’s a personal story about a personal musical journey, one unlike any other we taken on the show before, but one we trust you’ll still find to be Just Right!

DMS 041 – The special Christmas episode

Comments Off

Dec 232018

What makes this Christmas particularly ‘special’ is that Danielle is able to be here to share the season with us. Last year, as listeners to December 13th’s Just Right discovered, Danielle spent her Christmas hospitalized in an intensive care unit with little expectation of survival. This year, she opens the show with a reminder that “the corpse still has the floor” – citing a line from one of her favorite Christmas movies, The Ref.

Indeed, Christmas is that time of year when Christmas movies and music become a hot topic of discussion as people cite their favorite and least favorite entertainment representatives of the season. Added to the usual disagreements over which songs/movies are the best or worst, has been the inappropriate but inevitable racist/sexist narratives pushed by the social justice warriors who are oblivious to the original Christmas spirit underlying the targets of their criticisms.

From the controversy surrounding the song, ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside,’ to social justice concerns about the ‘bullying’ in Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, the Christmas season is becoming the silly season.

And on the seasonal matter of giving and receiving, while Robert suggests that to say ‘it is better to give than to receive’ represents a moral inequity, Danielle interprets ‘better’ simply as ‘easier’ – which may itself ‘present’ an inequity of a different kind. Any way you look at it, whether giving or receiving, it’s always best to do so in the spirit that’s Just Right for the Christmas season.

587 – Globalism and the U.N. Compact for Migration with guest Salim Mansur

3 Responses »

Dec 202018

With the signing of the United Nations Global Compact for Migration, it has been made clear that all of its signatories are globalist, socialist, and intent on destroying the cultures within the host countries slated for mass migration.

Touted as a ‘non-binding’ agreement by Canada’s Justin Trudeau, Germany’s Angel Merkel contrarily declared that when two-thirds of the United Nations member states agree to the Compact (as they did on December 10 in Morocco), then it becomes “legally binding for all (even for states that rejected it). That’s how majority decision-making works.”

While it is a universal truth that “that’s how majority decision-making works,” this is only valid if those making the decision have a clear mandate to do so from the people they are governing, and if consent from those governed was obtained in advance of any such decisions.

As Dr. Salim Mansur observes, the so-called ‘majority decisions’ are all being made only on behalf of migrants, with only migrant issues/concerns being addressed. Those already living in the host countries are rarely considered in the decision making process. Indeed, they are often treated as less than welcome in their own countries, and labeled as ‘racist’ or ‘anti-immigrant’ or advocates of ‘white privilege,’ etc., for voicing objections to any problems created by the flood of artificially inflated ‘migration.’ Continue reading »

DMS 040 – The joke is on us

Comments Off

Dec 162018

Social justice warriors were clearly on the warpath at the Women in Entertainment gala earlier this month when comedienne Hanna Gadsby delivered a rousing speech defining her subjective boundaries of morality along gender and racial lines.

We are judged by what we find funny, begins Danielle, and cites the recent controversy surrounding comedian Kevin Hart. In 2010, Hart performed a stand-up routine about his personal discomfort at the prospect of being able to relate to his young son, should his son turn out to be gay. Not offensive by any means, nor considered so by anyone in 2010, it nevertheless became grounds enough for Hart to have to step down from hosting the upcoming Oscars. In today’s world of political correctness, Hart’s 2010 performance is considered anti-gay.

Comedy was once considered ‘the’ so-called ‘safe space’ for free speech – a refuge open to both testing and stretching the envelope of acceptable discourse and observation through the safety of humor. But today’s mainstream comedy has become a litany of political correctness and virtue signaling. Continue reading »
