For a preview of America after the collapse of civilization, look to Oakland, where progressives have already achieved their demographic objectives. Utopia will not feature traffic lights:

A California city removed the traffic lights from a four-way intersection as the city grapples with thefts attributed to a massive homeless encampment nearby.

Oakland has been experiencing high crime and theft, including people stealing copper wires and the city’s infrastructure, according to locals who spoke to CBS News.

Bums have been stealing not only the wire but the electricity itself, thereby screwing up the traffic lights.

The city attempted to thwart criminals tampering with its electrical boxes by placing cement barriers over them – to no avail. Now, the city has taken to removing the traffic lights at a busy intersection and replacing them with stop signs.

Flushing away the drug-addled derelicts is out of the question. California spends a great deal of other people’s money to grow its impressive homeless population.

No worries. If Democrats remain in control of California, so few will be able to afford to drive that traffic lights won’t be needed anyway.

Women occupy a lower slot in the leftist hierarchy than the sexually deranged. Consequently, men are raping women in prison:

Tremaine “Tremayne” Deon Carroll, a male who identifies as a woman, was housed at the Central California Women’s Facility when the sexual assault took place but has since been moved to Kern Valley State Prison. …

In 1990, Carroll would be convicted for his participation in an armed robbery where he and several other men broke into an apartment occupied by two women. The women were kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and held under demand of ransom.

Despite being only 17 years old, the brutality of the crime resulted in Carroll being charged as an adult with three counts of kidnapping for ransom, two counts of robbery, and three counts of oral copulation by force.

Just the kind of fellow the moonbats running the system would put in a women’s prison, until forced to take him out following the predictable consequences.

The US Constitution proscribes cruel and unusual punishment, which would certainly pertain to women being locked in a cage with this guy. However, the Constitution is superseded by wokeness in places like California, where liberals have achieved dominance.

Please welcome Mr. Carroll to the Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors.

Great news for enviromoonbats: a new source has been found for the lithium that is required in massive quantities for the glorified golf carts they want to force us into. Now the bad news: it comes from fracking wastewater.

It turns out that the Marcellus Shale — a long swath of sedimentary rock in the northeastern United States that holds huge amounts of frackable gas — holds huge quantities of lithium too. Justin Mackey and other researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pennsylvania were pleasantly surprise[d] when they studied the contents of wastewater dredged up in the fracking process at 515 sites in the Keystone State, reports Science Alert.

Fracking provides clean and cheap natural gas, but possibly due to its effectiveness, it is haram in the liberal religion.

Nuclear energy provides affordable electricity without allegedly harmful carbon emissions. Liberals oppose it, because it too is haram.

Whether our moonbat overlords will exploit the Marcellus Shale is doubtful. After all, why would they want to make increasingly mandatory EVs affordable, when they can just coercively subsidize them?

The point of rap is to entertain. Normally watching sociopathic cretins posture foolishly while chanting obscenities is interesting only to those with the most debased tastes. But Rylo Huncho managed to expand the genre’s audience by taking its self-destructive nature to a new extreme:

Virginia’s drill rap scene was shaken by the tragic news of 17-year-old rapper Rylo Huncho. He wound up fatally shooting himself in the head while recording a TikTok video.

That’s why children should not play with guns.

Rylo Huncho’s real name has not been disclosed. However, he was known for his energetic performances and promising music career.

VIEWER DISCRETION — Darwinism in action can be disturbing:

A GoFundMe page set up by a cousin describes the incident as “suicide/accidental.” The latter seems more likely. If you think no one could be dumb enough to put a gun to their head and pull the trigger out of sheer stupidity, you are to be commended on your ability to avoid the rap world.

There was a time when subjecting children to perverted sexual material would get sickos thrown into prison or worse. But that was before they took over the schools and courts.

From wokefied Colorado:

On April 19, Campus Middle School in the municipality of Greenwood Village required staff to show a video and distribute worksheets and a list of activities encouraging students to participate in the LGBTQ+ “Day of Silence,” documents obtained by The Daily Signal show.

That is, students are compelled to undergo indoctrination to promote unnatural sexuality.

In a Day of Silence, created by LGBTQ+ activists, participants are encouraged to remain silent for the day “in solidarity” with those whom activists claim are “bullied,” “marginalized,” and “harassed” for being gay, bisexual, nonbinary, transgender, or another sexual expression that became trendy in the past decade.

The concept of the supremely privileged Alphabet People being oppressed by the culture that currently places them on a pedestal does not pass the laugh test. Shrieking that anyone suspected of disapproving of their revolting behavior is “bullying” them is itself bullying.

On April 12, one week before its celebration, Campus Middle School administrators notified staff that the entire school would participate in the solidarity event sponsored by the school’s extracurricular LGBTQ+ group, called the Campus Spectrum Club.

Having been sidelined by social engineers, parents were not told.

If you think you have a strong stomach, try sitting through the most nauseating song ever composed, reworked in the context of promoting sexual deviance to children. Be forewarned that I can’t promise the liberals don’t start fornicating in video below, since I couldn’t make it past the first 30 seconds:

To experience real bullying, try opting out of mandatory LGBTism. From moonbatty Maryland:

A divided federal appeals court on Wednesday rejected a bid by a group of Maryland parents to force a school district to allow them to opt their elementary school children out of being assigned to read books that include LGBTQ characters.

In the entire history of the human race, few would have guessed that government would one day require elementary school children to be indoctrinated to embrace perversion in opposition to the expressed will of their parents. Sodom and Gomorrah are the closest parallels the past has to offer to the USA under moonbat rule.

The parents, who are Muslims, Christians and Jews, argued alongside the parental rights organization Kids First that by not providing an opt-out option, the board’s policy infringed their religious rights under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment.

Sorry parents. Even Muslims rank below LGBT militants in the progressive pecking order.

Germany continues to lead the way into our glorious multicultural future. Congolese colonist Moise Lohombo does his part:

A Congolese refugee, previously described by the German press as a success story for integration, has been jailed for nine years after being convicted of beating and raping his own mother. …

The victim was so severely beaten during the attack that investigators found blood spatter all over the apartment.

Lohombo was thoughtful enough to call his mom an ambulance when he was done with her.

His mother was transported to the hospital with serious injuries including bleeding on the brain. She was also heavily impacted psychologically by the attack and told nurses she was worried her son may have impregnated her.

This occurred in Wiesbaden. Just call it Congo on the Rhine.

There was a time when television ads didn’t make you grind your teeth in irritation. Some could even be uplifting. The point was to get you to associate the product being advertised with good things, rather than with moonbattery. You can still see ads like that — but you might have to travel to Argentina:

The ad is not being shown in the USA. Coke doesn’t want to get pilloried by the militantly anti-family establishment like Harrison Butker.

Similarly, Argentina gets Javier Milei, whereas we get Joe Biden. If we put up with it, we deserve it.

When even the spin doctors at Snopes admit to unconscionable behavior by a Democrat, you know the moonbat has been caught dead to rights:

Snopes, a fact-checking website, quietly changed a fact check about a diary belonging to Ashley Biden, President Joe Biden’s daughter, being real.

The story was recategorized from “Unproven” (i.e., probably a conspiracy theory or Russian disinformation) to “True.”

The fact-checking website describes the diary, which was written by Ashley Biden, describing “actions taken toward her” by the president when she was younger that are “not appropriate,” according to Snopes.

The inappropriate actions include taking showers with her when she was a little girl. Fortunately for his election prospects, just because Snopes finally admits it doesn’t mean the media will report it — not that people who would care are still voting for Democrats at this point anyway.

Biden’s irrepressible physical attraction to underage girls is among his most notable characteristics:

On the positive side, at least he helped launch his daughter on a career in music:

It’s coming once again: Pride Month, when the degenerate establishment doubles down on ramming sin and depravity down our throats. The best argument NBCUniversal can come up with in favor of LGBTism is that animals allegedly engage in it:

The LGBTQ animal series called “Queer Planet” will premiere on June 6 on the media company’s streaming service Peacock.

Various animals engaging in ostensibly sexual behavior that would be inappropriate in humans are presented as models for how we should conduct ourselves.

Actor and show host Andrew Rannells claims in the trailer that the existence of “queer” animals shows how “just two sexes is clearly out of style.”

Don’t hold your breath waiting for them to reveal the third sex or where it fits into biology.

Guests in the trailer say only humans have a “stigma” towards being “queer.”

Once again the media’s message is that it is normal to be abnormal, implying that those who do not indulge in perverted sex are abnormal and are the ones who should be subjected to stigma.

It is encouraging that liberals have finally found somewhere to turn for the moral guidance they so conspicuously need. However, they can do better than the animal kingdom. If homosexual behavior is praiseworthy because some male animals establish dominance by raping each other, surely eating your own children is to be encouraged too, since animals also do that.

Despite the best efforts of leftists to reduce us to animals, human beings are something different.

No field of endeavor is safe from subversion by moonbattery. Refer to an on-the-level article from Phys.org to see what the Royal Astronomical Society concerns itself with rather than attempting to unravel the mysteries of the universe:

A survey commissioned by the society showed that disabled people, women, Black and minority ethnic, and LGBTQ+ people are much more likely to be bullied and harassed than men and white, straight, and non-disabled people.

Capitalization of “Black” and “white” as in original.

When faced with a crisis of these proportions, the only sensible course of action is to panic:

50% of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer astronomers and geophysicists were bullied in the 24 months preceding the survey, and 12% of bisexual astronomers reported being bullied at least once a week.

What horrific forms of abuse were inflicted? Were their pigtails pulled? Was their lunch money stolen? Were they pushed down on the playground during recess and their faces washed with snow? No one knows…

…because those who took part in the survey were not asked the nature of the bullying and harassment they suffered.

It is safe to assume that the “bullying” consisted of “microaggressions.” These are imaginary slights members of favored identity groups are taught to perceive so as to exert power over disfavored groups.

Here’s how this ostensibly scientific organization managed to reach its asinine findings:

The RAS Committee on Diversity in Astronomy and Geophysics commissioned the survey, which was then carried out by the society’s education, outreach and diversity officer Dr. Sheila Kanani and then RAS diversity officer Dr. Aine O’Brien.

No doubt Drs. Kanani and O’Brien are well paid to discover the oppression of favored groups. They could even find microaggressions on Mars — except that would require looking to the stars, when they are more inclined to examine their own navels in search of racist lint.
