American Mutt – European Identity in the US – Magdalen Rose

(Warning: this review is long and rambling and unfunny and doesn’t go anywhere.  I just wasn’t prepared for what I was seeing)

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfCtf4Kr3xc

This is the woman who did Pam aka CannotBeEntertaining’s intro graphic and banner and whatever.  I discovered her after I attempted to watch Pam’s latest video.  Pam links to this woman in the description of her videos, I guess.

Naturally, Pam would instruct a woman to do the artwork.  She’s all about those sexy ladies.  Sounds pretty…well…we all know Pam’s sexual preferences so it makes sense.  On to the video.

0:00 – It starts with some commercials for no apparent reason.  One is for Halloween, one is for Christmas, and the last one is for either Christmas or Thanksgiving.  

Then she says that she gets jealous of families who have holiday traditions..

I’d say that this woman is in her late 30s at least.  And I’m getting a strong lesbian and single vibe.  So who cares?  You’re an adult.  Are you still bothered that you didn’t have more “ethnic” holidays?  Get over it.

The examples she give are The Krampus Parade, a “traditional Irish Halloween”, or Chinese New Year.

Haha.  She wishes that she was Chinese.  What the fuck is this?  

And what on earth is Krampus Parade?  Oh yeah.  I read about this not long ago.  It’s some shit that they do in Austria.  Lunatics dress up as a scary Christmas elf and go around town scaring children.  They were talking about banning this because people were taking it too far and it’s obviously creepy as fuck.

But that’s what she wants to do.  AND WHO THE FUCK IS DOING THIS IN THE US?  You’d get arrested.

And then of course there’s the “traditional Irish Halloween”.  I’m pretty sure that people in Ireland do NOTHING for Halloween.  It’s the same in the UK.  There’s no trick or treating or any of this shit.  It’s  an American thing to make a big deal about Halloween.  

Just to make sure, let me look up “irish Halloween”.  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain

From what I can tell, this is historical.  People aren’t walking around with lit torches any more.

And again, where is this happening in the US?  Well, the Ku Klux Klan, I guess but that’s not a Halloween thing and Irish people, at least historically, weren’t allowed membership.  This is fucking ridiculous.  Her premise makes no sense.

0:30 – “I didn’t have this growing up”.

NOBODY DID!  Except for Chinese New Year.  But you have to be CHINESE for that.  

“Instead, I got what a lot of us got: good old fashioned AMERICAN holidays like Candy Crush, Santa Fest, and of course ‘thanks for all that food, grandma.  Now I’m off to the mall riot.”

I think that’s she’s just saying “Candy Crush” and “Santa Fest” as terms for Halloween and Christmas.  Yeah, I mean…I’m totally lost.  I thought that this video would be about how like people with immigrant parents do slightly different shit at Christmas.  Like Christmas crackers or the Yule Goat or whatever.  

But no.  She’s just complaining because…she wasn’t born in Austria, China, or feudal Ireland.  

0:45 – “What else do we have?  Valentine’s Day.  That holiday that we invented to pressure couples to spend money on each other.”

Valentine’s Day has some kind of history.  I’m not sure how big it ever was.  But it was then co-opted by the greeting card and confectionery industries in the late 19th century.  So…I can understand not…god, where is she going with this?

I’ve looked at the titles of her other videos.  She’s clearly a “feminist”.  She talks about the usual gross topics like body hair.  I don’t give a fuck what you want to do with your arm hair.  Keep it to yourself.  There’s also a lot of shit with “capitalism” and “socialism” and “Trump” in the titles.  I think that she sees herself as some kind of socialist.    

So that’s where she’s coming from when she says that she doesn’t like Valentine’s Day.  It’s a corporate holiday.  Fine.  Then don’t fucking celebrate it.  Nobody cares.  Especially as a single woman.

1:00 – Then there’s just a weird edit.  “Hi.  I’m Magdalen Rose.  In this video, we’re going to be talking about European-American identity.”

She links to a video entitled, “American Food Culture and the Vaporware of Whiteness”.  I’ll have to put that one on my to do list.

Then she says to support her on Patreon because “This video is definitely getting demonitised.”  Oh, we’re in for some good shit here, boys.  Raw and uncensored.  Something about her wanting to be Chinese, I don’t know.

1:15 – “Boy howdy, does America have a problem with white supremacy.”

Oh dear.  She’s one of these lunatics.  What the fuck can this possibly have to do with Chinese New Year?  Maybe she’s going to suggest that white Americans should celebrate Chinese New Year.  

By the way, I think that people prefer to call it “Lunar New Year”.  Because it’s not just Chinese people who celebrate it.  Non-Chinese Asian people don’t like the term.  Turn in your SJW card, Mz Rose.

“Not that it hasn’t always but it definitely seems to be coming to a head.”

Oh right.  So it’s worse than all the pre-Civil War slavery that went on and all the Ku Kluxery lynchings of the 1920s to 1950s?  Fuck off.  Donald Trump won the election.  Get over it.

These fucking soft thinking imbeciles.  I’m all for an equitable society.  Let’s get it done, comrades.  But not this man-hating, caucasian-hating, “Biden is our saviour”, mindless bullshit.  

You think if fucking Hillary Clinton won the election that the US would some socialist utopia?  It would be no fucking different from today.  

I suspect that Trump is going to win again.  Who the fuck is going to vote for some senile old man?  

And you can’t whine yourself to an election victory.  You can’t insult people to an election victory.  And there is no popular support for man-hating, caucasian hating bullshit.  

This woman is too old to have been swayed by this.  She’s just jumping on the next media-fueled bandwagon to try to gain imaginary points on the internet.  If dog fucking became the next issue de jure, she’d be at her local Humane Society right now.  “Can you show me your largest dog, please?”

“It is weird to see young people getting duped by this very old propaganda.”

What are you talking about?  It’s young people who have been duped with this SJW shit.  Old people are Trump supporters.

Here’s a history lesson for you.  Early 20th century Germany was a very progressive place.  They finally got rid of the Kaiser.  Instituted a republic.  Germany became a society of beatniks.  Feels good, do it.  Gay sex as far as the eye could see.  Liberty.

And the young people growing up in this society didn’t like it.  They wanted structure.  They wanted order.  Before long, people were being put in ovens.

The woefully misguided among us look at American politics and say, “Hey, I support Biden so I’m liberal.”  No.  It’s all conservative.  Trump is conservative and Biden is conservative.  Those are your options.  

And the conservatism that Biden and his SJW supporters are promoting is even more dangerous than the conservatism that Trump and his dumbass supporters are promoting.  There is no popular support for all this man-hating, all of this caucasian-hating, and all of this “trans” shit.  It’s not happening.  And it’s hugely reactionary.  Not progressive in the slightest.  

So you have this fucking woman who’s knocking on 40…where is she from, by the way?  I’ll guess California.  “PNW”.  What the fuck does that mean?  Oh.  Pacific Northwest.  How silly of me not to know that.  

So yeah, this is “The West Coast” fruity, insane bullshit.  This woman never worked a day in her life.  She describes herself as a “writer” and her videos are filmed in her palatial estate.  I assume it’s her parents’ house.

1:45 – “Being white in America is a unique experience.”

Oh do tell.  We’re all just dying to know.  Never mind the fact that 95% of your audience are white Americans, please give us your unique insights into what it’s like to be a white American.

Then she makes the bizarre assertion that “White people in America don’t have a culture”.  

She just fucking talked about it.  Candy Crush.  Santa Fest.  SJW shit.  That’s the culture.  You don’t get this shit anywhere else.  Only in America.  

I went out with a woman who described herself as “half-American” because she had an American mother.  It’s not just her.  I’ve heard this numerous times.  This is how people talk here.  

It sounds ridiculous.  You can’t be “half-American”.  American is a nationality.  

But they’re right.  It’s the same as saying that you’re “half-Italian” because your grandparents came from Italy.  “American” isn’t a race, just like Italian isn’t a race.  They’re all nationalities.  The whole concept of “race” is made up and has changed over the years but we don’t have to get into that.  

So being “half-Italian” or “half-American” is just a useless nod to where your parents were born.  Who gives a fuck?  Maybe they’ve handed down certain traditions from their parents.  That’s all it means.  

So if you’re “half-American” maybe you celebrated Thanksgiving, for example.  Even though you live in the UK.  Just because your American mother was *nostalgic* for Thanksgiving.  That’s the fucking culture.  American culture.  Just because you’re too much of a brainwashed dimwit to see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Then she starts going on about how young Americans are being recruited to…some kind of white supremacy in an attempt to connect with some nebulous idea of “European culture.”  What the fuck is she talking about?

First of all, where are all of these skinheads?  Is this a big problem in the US now?  I think that she’s simply equating people who aren’t SJWs with “violent racists”.  She’s on another planet.  

She goes on to suggest that young white American want to connect with the “music and art” of “Europe”.  Whatever the fuck that means.  NOBODY wants this.  Show me the young person wanting to learn more about Bach.  What the fuck is she talking about?  This is completely insane.  There is no basis in reality to anything that she’s saying.

“They don’t actually believe it, it’s not really a thing, it’s just a gang.”

What?  Gangs of jackbooted thugs who share a passion for the Baroque period?  Either I’m not getting this AT ALL or she’s mentally ill.

2:30 – “Many of us have that one aunt who insists that she’s descended from an authentic Cherokee princess.  A surprising amount of princesses from a tribal society that is not a monarchy.”

This comes out of NOWHERE.  She goes from talking about roving gangs of Van Gogh enthusiasts to this bizarre American Indian thing.  What does it have to do with anything?  

This is definitely a crazy person.  There’s perhaps a fine line but one can be an SJW and still have control of your mental faculties.  You can believe whatever you want, I don’t give a fuck.  I’m not suggesting that everyone who identifies as an SJW is mentally ill.  But this woman is.  Plainly.  

 Then she starts going on about cultural appropriation and shows pictures of Madonna with braids and whatever.  And Elvis ripping off a black woman’s song.

 Can we get back to the holidays please?  Are we ever going to get an explanation for why this woman wants to celebrate Chinese New Year?

4:00 – “My family has been in the United States since before it was the United States.”

Oh, you don’t say.  That might explain things.  H.L. Mencken wrote a whole article about the mental enfeeblement of these so-called American “Anglo-Saxons”.  

Then she starts giving her family tree and mocking their names.  It’s distasteful but more importantly, nobody fucking cares.

4:15 – “And definitely some English.  They really got around despite humanity’s best efforts.”

What is she even talking about?  

First off all, more white Americans claim Germany ancestry than anything else.  English is number two.  Large numbers of Germans came to the US in the 19th century after various revolutions in the German states.  She doesn’t know this.  

She’s so sheltered in her parents’ house in her little WASP neighbourhood that she thinks that the whole world is like this.  And she’s going to enlighten all of us little people about how white privilege and cultural appropriation and how there’s no such thing as an American culture.  Because she’s wracked with guilt.  “Why couldn’t I be born Chinese?”

It’s just how it is.  And anyway, you can still celebrate Chinese New Year.  What’s stopping you?  Oh wait.  I guess that this would be cultural appropriation.

Well then celebrate the fucking American holidays.  What’s the point of any of this?  I still have no idea what this video is about.

4:30 – “This phenomenon has brought about the term ‘American Mutt’ popular among white supremacists and gamers.”

What?  First of all, WHAT PHENOMENON?  She went straight from talking about how the English went around raping everyone (I guess) to this quote.  What is she talking about?  What’s the phenomenon?  

And I have never in my life seen or heard any “gamer” say “American Mutt”.  What the fuck?  Where is she seeing this?  In what context would this arise?  

Why would it be a white supremacist comment either?  It’s mildly derogatory to white Americans.  

Kevin Arnold, in the Wonder Years episode where he’s asking about his family history, declares that he’s a “mutt” after speaking to his mother about the family ancestry.  Is Kevin Arnold a white supremacist?  The guy had a fucking Jewish best friend.  Indeed, I think that he went to Paul’s bar mitzvah in that episode.  And the episode was written, produced, directed, created, we can go on, by Jews.  

Nobody on earth has ever considered this term racist.  But now it is, apparently.  And she’s going to explain why.  Maybe.

Oh.  Because comparing humans to dog breeding isn’t accurate.

Of course it’s accurate.  The various “breeds” of dogs are just as invented as race and nationality.  Of course a greyhound looks different from a Yorkshire terrier, just like a white person looks different from a black person, but it’s all hazy and there’s a spectrum.  There’s no greyhound gene.  These breeds were all invented through controlled inbreeding, just like how people from certain areas tend to look similar.

I didn’t explain well and I don’t want to get into it but she’s going to get outraged over the term “mutt”  because of her misunderstanding of dog breeding.  This is all pointless and stupid.  She has completely muddled thinking.  

Oh, she gets offended when people call her “mutt”.  Especially now that she’s a parent.  How tragic that this woman produced children.

Anyway, I’ve never heard anyone EVER call somebody else a “mutt”.  Not once.  But apparently it’s a big problem for her.  All of those white supremacists and “gamers” endlessly taunting her.  

Then there’s…I think…stock footage of a generic happy family and they’re lighting a menorah and…what?  

5:30 – “The problem with the term ‘white’ is that it isn’t a culture.  It isn’t an identity.”

Who the fuck is saying that it is?  “Black” isn’t a culture or an identity either.

This is just a video about this woman’s bizarre hangups.  Go fucking celebrate Chinese New Year.  Chinese people won’t fucking mind.  Order some Chinese food, get one of those paper yoyos, and knock yourself out.

“It is only a political grouping used to accumulate power.  You can’t use it for any other purpose.  It’s like trying to bake a pie with a gun.”

Then there’s a video of her pointing a gun at an apple and some sugar.  I am not making any of this up.  

“That’s why Americans are so hungry about information about our ancestry.”

Nothing she says follows from the previous sentence.  This is a lunatic.  

Black people are interested in their ancestry.  Asian people are interested in their ancestry.  People all over the world do those stupid DNA ancestry tests.  It’s not limited to white Americans.

And most people, regardless of race, DON’T GIVE A FUCK.  This is YOUR bizarre hangup.  YOU’RE the one seeing Nazis everywhere.  And the Nazis are specifically targeting YOU for being a “mutt”.  All of those awful Trump supporting, Sonata In C Major loving, Klansmen “gamers”.  

Bobdunga looks like a model of good mental health compared to this woman.

6:00 – “Not everything we did was bad.  Johnny Appleseed was just a cool religious hermit.”

Again, I don’t know what she’s talking about and what she said doesn’t follow from the previous sentence.  NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE.

6:15 – “But let’s face it, the history of whiteness in America is a history of subjugation and genocide.”

Maybe white-Anglo Saxon Protestants in America.  But that’s your hangup.  She said earlier in the video that she had English, Scottish, and Irish ancestors.  Don’t lump every other white American into this.  There are plenty of white Americans who don’t have British ancestors.  She doesn’t know this because of how sheltered she is.

Then she suggests that this is why white Americans want to go back to pre-American days when their ancestors “were in one place and not genociding everyone.”

It doesn’t make sense.  We’ve established that.  But again, NOBODY CARES.  Nobody cares who your ancestors are or what they did.  But if you had terrible ancestors (which you probably did) don’t lump me into that shit.  My ancestors weren’t doing any “genociding”.  

Then she starts going on about how race doesn’t exist.  What?  I already covered this.  What exactly is she arguing?  There’s no fucking focus here whatsoever.  

Fucking Chinese New Year.  You want to know what they do on Chinese New Year?  Visit their families and give children envelopes full of money.  That’s it.  What’s the big deal?  If you want to do that, go ahead.

8:30 – “Perceived dilution of heritage.  Emphasis on ‘perceived’.  A view that, over generations, cultural heritage has become increasingly thin and watered down as we’ve moved away from Europe and that somehow the American Mutt is less potent in…something.  They probably mean testosterone.  It’s probably testosterone with these guys.”

What guys?  Who’s saying any of this?  

And this woman has enough testosterone for all of us.  What with the hairy arms and all.

“The racists’ explanation is very simple.  Just blame immigrants.”

She just got through talking about how these skinhead American “gamers” are interested in learning moree about Motzart and getting in touch with Europe and whatever and then she goes on about blaming immigrants.  So…these people want to get in touch with their immigrant ancestors and then they blame immigrants.

Nothing she’s saying makes sense.  It’s totally incoherent.  It’s not that she’s presenting an argument that I disagree with, it’s that she’s presenting an argument which is totally unstructured, totally unsupported, and has no basis in reality.  She’s going from one nonsensical thought to the next.  I still don’t know what the fuck she’s talking about and we’re two-thirds through the fucking video.

“They took our jobs.  Taco trucks on every corner.”

Oh.  Mexican immigrants.  Why didn’t you say that?  I thought that she was talking about European immigration.  You know…because that was the fucking topic at the time.  I think.  

So now she’s talking about Mexican immigrants.  What does this have to do with white Americans wanting to get in touch with their European ancestry?  And I’m still waiting for fucking Chinese New Year to come into play.

“Saying that ‘Happy Holidays is fascism”.

Mexicans tend to be fairly religious people.  Catholic people.  So they’re generally not on board with “Happy Holidays”.  So what’s the fucking point?  Can you get to it, please?

10:00 – Finally, she somehow links this to capitalism.  But I don’t know how and I don’t know what she’s even linking to capitalism.  This is fucking dreadful.  The drug addicted homeless guy on the street is muttering more sensible stuff than this woman.

10:45 – She almost starts crying when she gives a story about how as a child she was excited to see some castle in Disneyland only to discover that it was just a gift shop.  Why is the telling this story?  I don’t know.  What does it have to do with anything?  No idea.  But then she starts cackling like a maniac.

11:15 – She suggests taking a DNA test and adopting the culture of whatever is the highest percentage.

She’s presenting a solution to a problem that I still don’t know what the fuck it is.  What is she talking about?  What’s the problem?  Why is she whining about white people?  Is there any point to this video?  The minutes are ticking down.  It’s almost over.

Oh my god.  I thought that she was going to shoot down this idea, because that’s what she’s been doing the whole video.  But no.  She wants you to take a DNA test and then learn that country’s language and culture.  Why?  How does this solve the problem of mobs of young, racist, white Americans?  

Oh here we go.  Yeah, then she says forget all that shit.  

12:00 – Then she starts talking about European monarchies.  If anyone can make heads of tails of this, let me know.

12:45 – Then she starts with some weird American jingoism about how America is the greatest country in the world and Europe is divided between kings and peasant.  Her information is slightly out of date.

13:00 – She claims to be descended from William Wallace.  I don’t even have to discuss this one.

13:45 – She posts a picture of a Trump rally and suggests that these people are…promoting European…something.  I don’t know.  Is this really happening?  Are Trump supporters particularly concerned about America being a shallow culture and trying to get in touch with their…European ancestry?  

Her entire premise, as near as I can figure out what it even is, is preposterous.  Conservatives (by which she means Trump supporters) are racists and they’re recruiting young people to join their racist…gang by preying on young white American’s unending thirst for knowledge about European culture.  

Is this something that’s really happening?  At all?  Is there a single example of this occurring?  

This is a fucking crazy person.

Big tits, though.  So check it out.
