Baltmore City Blues, Sailer Moon and the Downgraded Family
It's not a spelling error, it's a Steve Sailer joke.
Baltimore City Blues
Did you know that Baltimore has a homicide problem? Well, at least if you happen to be black. Over the past decade, more than 90% of homicide victims in Baltimore City were black. That’s incredibly disproportionate considering the population is 61% black and nearly every position of authority, elected or unelected, is filled by a black person. The police force itself is 40% black. The Baltimore Sun seems a bit annoyed that the numbers don’t add up in their woke calculators. After all, the Baltimore Police are about 45% white and are not perfectly representative of the city’s racial makeup.
Perhaps, if there were just fewer white police officers the homicide numbers would follow suit. My AI assistant tells me, “Historically, Baltimore City has had one of the highest homicide rates in the United States. As of my last update in September 2021, the homicide rate for Baltimore in 2020 was around 57 homicides per 100,000 people.”
This information made me a little concerned, but I’m told reliably by friends and media that the true tragedy is that there are too many white police officers in Baltimore City.
Sailer Moon
This brings me to Steve Sailer. If you don’t know him, he’s basically a purveyor of inconvenient truths. He writes the things you’re not supposed to write about, like the effects of de-policing efforts after the George Floyd “racial reckoning”. Effects like increased death of black men from homicide and traffic accidents.
His replies on Twitter have become something of a meme in themselves as he often replies to mainstream political analysts with a single fact that more or less destroys their entire narrative. It’s a splendid thing indeed and everyone should read him just to get an idea of what actual smart people are like when they’re not restrained by their peers and financial backers.
To many commentators, both on the Left and the Right of the political spectrum, Steve is somewhere between folk hero John Henry and the threat of Climate Change. It’s very hard to get across just how disproportionate the hatred and fear of this man is to the things he actually says and writes. There is a cottage industry of protesters that make sure Mr. Sailer cannot speak in public or on college campuses. Until recently he hadn’t given a speech in over a decade, but thankfully VDare Foundation gave him a platform inside of a literal castle.

The Downgraded Family
I recently had an epiphany concerning the new trend of American parents “identifying” children as trans. While it’s guessed by many that these mothers and fathers of “trans kids” (or “kiddos” as they like to say) are most likely Narcissistic sociopaths living out their social justice fantasies through their kids. I agree with that, there’s something mentally wrong with these people. What struck me, just recently, was the implications of sterilizing one or more of your children. Some parents have more than one and sometimes there will be a mix of queer and trans kids, as if they’re trading cards and they’re trying to collect one of each. We’re told that noticing these red flags is actually very judgmental and bigoted, but I think that it’s important nonetheless.
While this behavior could be a symptom of abuse, and in many cases expression of homosexuality at a young age is a result of sexual trauma, there is something even more insidious at play here. Sterilizing your own children and preventing them from ever being able to achieve the things you achieved is a rejection of the entire point of having a family. These children, removed from the gene pool without hesitation, have been relegated to the status of a household pet. A comfort animal, if you will.
Pets, as you know, are not self-sufficient. They have owners. Sometimes they’re used for companionship and other times for protection. Trans pets are usually used for both. The typical owner of a trans pet will flood their social media accounts with images and stories about their trans pet for clout, but also use them to deflect all potential criticisms regarding glaring character flaws or uncouth behavior. Just having a trans pet is enough to co-opt the great oppression lottery. You can fly all over the world on a private jet to fight climate change and sample the wares of underage prostitutes and no one can say anything because you are the owner of your very own certified trans pet.
While other parents try to develop their children into strong independent adults that will go on to create families and lives of their own, owners of trans pets get lifelong friends that they can mold into anything they can think of. There’s also the added dependency upon the owner and their medical insurance that creating a lifelong medical patient comes with. A trans pet can’t just go out on their own and live life as an engineer or a firefighter, no they’re tied to their homes with a hormonal bond stronger than love. Who needs love, anyway? Virtue is a form of love, even if it leads to mortal bondage. As Maya Angelou said: You can never go home again, but the truth is you can never leave home, so it’s all right. This is very profound. Especially in light of the fact that many trans pets will never move out or attain careers outside of sex work.
Leftist parents were told they couldn’t have it both ways. They couldn’t destroy the nuclear family and enjoy it too. Trans pets allow them to do just that. Engage in the miracle of life, then cut that life short and prevent it from ever creating life itself. The added political and social benefits that come with this are just icing on the cake they’re having and eating too.
