The lies cannot continue when all can see the facts on the ground.

SJWs always double down… until it is clear things are wrong, then they flip.

This is from a diversity code at a University, and it lies. For the same university has competative courses: Pre-med, pre-law… where there is overt discrimination so that the most able to become doctors and lawyers (or nurses, Occupational Therapists or teachers) get into those courses. Part of which is seeing if someone has the intellectual horsepower to achieve straight As without grade inflation.

For instance, articulating a view that people with various intellectual disabilities are incapable of various intellectual tasks, or people with various physical disabilities are incapable of various physical tasks, would be condemned by the authority of the University. (“University leaders will take all appropriate steps to implement the principles.”)

Articulating a view that there are cultural (or even biological) differences between ethnic and racial groups in various fields — condemned by the authority of the University, without regard to the arguments for or against the particular assertion. It’s just an up-front categorical rule; whatever you want to say along these lines, we don’t want to hear it, we don’t care what your arguments are, we’ll condemn it, and faculty and students have a right not to hear it. Even “depicting” such a view, whatever that means, is “intolerant” and “has no place at the University.”

But when the facts on the ground change rapidly, the lies have to disappear. Many say that the West should accept all refugees from Syria. When many are not from Syria, and many look to be fit, young, and the rate of this population shift is too fast for even the richest countries to cope with.

(REUTERS) Germany re-imposed border controls on Sunday after Europe’s most powerful nation acknowledged it could scarcely cope with thousands of asylum seekers arriving every day.

Berlin announced that the temporary measure would be taken first on the southern frontier with Austria, where migrant arrivals have soared since Chancellor Angela Merkel effectively opened German borders to refugees a week ago.

“The aim of these measures is to limit the current inflows to Germany and to return to orderly procedures when people enter the country,” said Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, adding that this was also necessary for security reasons.

Berlin took the step – which is allowed under Europe’s Schengen treaty as long as it remains temporary – a day before EU interior ministers hold an emergency meeting to discuss spreading asylum seekers around the 28-nation bloc.

A European Commission proposal that each country should accept refugees under a system of compulsory quotas is meeting strong resistance from some countries, especially in central Europe. Slovakia said on Sunday it would try to block the plan.

Germany, Europe’s largest and richest economy, has become a magnet for many people fleeing war and poverty in Syria and other parts of the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Police said around 13,000 migrants arrived in the southern city of Munich alone on Saturday, and another 3,000 on Sunday morning.

Now Germany has joined the list of smaller and poorer countries such as Greece and Hungary that are struggling to manage the huge flow of desperate people.

“This step became necessary. The great willingness to help that Germany has shown in recent weeks – by full-time employees and especially by the many thousands of volunteers – must not be overstrained,” de Maiziere said.

I do not expect these controls to be temporary. I expect more countries to go full Abbott. I expect that the politicians will start treating twitter and tumbler as trivia, or go under. Because the facts on the ground, and our own eyes, betray the narrative. If you cling to the narrative you will lose.
