‘It Puts the Body Art on Its Skin or Else It Gets Slandered Again’: A Resistance Manifesto

Originally published via Armageddon Prose:

British state media BBC, in a since-memory-holed article, recently claimed that white women not painting their nails serves as a subtle signifier of latent fascism bubbling to the surface — effectively amounting to the “cultural erasure” of diverse and sacred BIPOCs.

Fortunately, the memory-holing notwithstanding, the internet is forever, so we can still behold British state media’s atrocity of a “news article” so as to glean a lesson from it.

Until the authorities figure out how to nuke web archives — which they’re surely scheming at this very moment — the BBC’s dirty laundry is free for all to see.

Via BBC:

“In recent months, artsy shots of glossy naked nails have been flooding social media and taking over fashion runways and red carpets, which some are viewing as the latest symbol of “quiet luxury”.

But critics argue the bare nails trend actually says something about class, the hamster wheel of beauty standards, and who gets to define what is considered tasteful.

Nail art’s historical and creative roots are linked back to black, Latino, and Asian communities and the suggestion that bare nails are now a sign of high status could stigmatise bold manicures, they say.

“That trend really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to black and brown communities,” beauty journalist Kristina Rodulfo tells the BBC.

“They are often called elegant or tasteful, and these are often usually euphemisms that perpetuate white supremacist standards of beauty.”…

“These were times that it was hard for black women to be able to express themselves,” says celebrity nail artist Celeste Hampton.

“[Nail art] allowed black women to express our form of softness, our form of femininity, our form of beauty.””

Yet again, we have on our hands a classic case of the Social Justice™ double-bind designed to place the object (in this case, white women contemplating how to decorate their nails to avoid running afoul of progressive dogma) in a state of inescapable bondage:

· If, as a native British woman, you refuse to paint your nails, you’re a bigot who doesn’t appreciate diverse cultures

· If you do paint your nails in an effort to demonstrate solidarity with the BIPOCs and not be smeared as racist and thrown into the Labour gulag, then what you’re committing a crime called “cultural appropriation” (which only white people can ever possibly be guilty of, incidentally) and you’re also racist anyhow

In short, “Shut your filthy colonial-settler mouth, racist! I forgot the question” — effectively turning any progressive do-gooder reading the BBC’s claptrap into this poor soul in The Silence of the Lambs — only worse off because she gets the hose no matter what she does.

The double-bind strategy extends well beyond just training do-gooder white women to be irresolvably self-conscious about their racist nails, and is actually one of the most underrated weapons of culture war in the abusive technocrat’s arsenal, in order to keep the Deplorable rabble permanently petrified while under siege, unsure of how to defend themselves so they do nothing at all in the way of resistance.

There is an antidote, though: simply ignore everything that ever comes out of the authorities’ mouthpiece agencies like the BBC, without exception.

After reading the BBC droppings, I was just about to waste precious time looking into whether the practice of nail-painting actually originated, as the BIPOC race hustlers quoted in the article claim it did, as some kind of mystical African mode of self-expression used to convey, through the sacred medium of indigenous art, the innate power of the diverse, gender-expansive goddesses of the sub-Saharan savannah or whatever before the white man (literal Satan) culturally appropriated it.

Then I realized that I don’t care.

No one should care.

Debunking their bullshit is a fruitless exercise — or, even worse, it legitimizes it by deigning to grapple with it.

These pigs want you down in the mud with them.

“White people not painting their nails is racist” is not a good-faith argument but merely a rhetorical bludgeon meant to further demonize white people and rile the minorities in Britain up to murder and rape the natives at even higher clips than they already do.

Like the ghost in the machine says in WarGames in the context of global nuclear exchange, the only way for white people to win this game is not to play.

· Simply refuse to play the game.

· Don’t actually to listen to them.

· Assume everything they ever say is a lie in service of hurting you — because it is

· Nod your head and politely inform your sociopathic overlords and their pet migrants that:
a.) The migrants are going home — or else out to sea in a rubber dinghy from whence they came — and
b.) The time that the traitors who run the government, including state media BBC, have enjoyed abusing the natives is drawing to an end. At the other end of the rainbow, extreme consequences will be meted out for their treachery.

Once two realizations take root in the consciousness of a sufficient percentage of the population — and I don’t know what that figure is exactly, but it’s well-documented historical fact that only 10% or so of the American colonial population actively fought the British crown — the elites steering Britain into the abyss and their migrant mercenaries no longer stand a chance:

1. They’re going to call you racist no matter what you do

2. They hate you and want to annihilate the civilization your ancestors built along with your bloodline
