About two-and-a-half weeks ago, I wrote an article about some nonsense up in Seattle involving one of their law enforcement precincts pushing to build a brand new mega-complex to better serve the area and condense all the needed space a good precinct requires into a single structure. My main point, which I never got to as the ‘news’ resource I found fully detailing this event, involved a crazy nobody named Zarna Joshi losing her shit over a guy who was being interviewed by local news after the city council had a meeting on some of the minutia about the project. The man, when faced with Joshi, decided to pick the hilarious moniker of ‘Hugh Mungus’, which sent Zarna into a full-on nose dive rage; this vitriol only turned on the turbo boosters when she kept questioning him with ‘humongous what?!’ I’m not sure if she was simply trying to bait him out to make the obvious dick reference or if she’s really stupid enough to simply not get the joke; I’m leaning more towards the latter as she nearly accosted a police officer with delusional claims of being ‘sexually harassed’ by ‘Hugh Mungus’ despite the dick joke never being actually realized. Mulling this over in retrospect, it also means that she either really had cock on the brain at the time for one reason or another, or is so insane that she invented a favorable end to the situation in her head. In either case, the outcome remains that she’s a dipshit.

When I made the decision to come back to the topic today, despite plenty of other garbage coming up like the new YouTube policies that weren’t actually new and don’t really do anything except prove Google is no longer a paragon company that all companies should aspire to be and is not even smart enough to alpha and/or beta test their own work (despite being a huge tech company), I was met with some interesting developments. As I had no concrete idea of when I wanted to continue this piece, I left the sources that I found about Zarna open, and within a single week she has managed to attempt to remove all traces of herself off the web:

BALEETED!

A blog she ran is also now stuck behind both a required Google login and being on her ‘trusted readers’ list, or whatever setting she smashed on Blogger to go into Defcon 5: Total Radio Silence mode. Since my initial screen capture, the page itself was both revived and then taken down again; my guess is that she assumed lying low for a month was some sort of ‘soft reset’. As we all know, the Internet never forgets.

To kick this off, let’s start with the video itself. One thing that really bothers the piss out of me is how all of these Social Justice crusaders film all of their encounters and incidents by holding their phones width-wise. By width-wise, I mean holding their phones vertically or by the width of the phone rather than hold the phone horizontally or by the length of the phone. This clogs my gutters because anyone who has a smart phone or a phone that has a screen that can reorient itself (read: any modern phone) knows that when you orient the phone length-wise, you get a panorama-esque video/photo capture. Doing this makes phone videos look good on widescreen monitors which is, for the most part, the standard viewing experience thanks to high definition driving monitor companies to prefer rectangles over squares. Instead, these morons always film so that everything gets letterbox’d like we’re watching standard quality television on a high def-oriented screen. I’m sure some people will say, ‘Whatever, it’s not that big of a deal’, and that’s exactly the point. If it’s this fucking easy, why aren’t they doing it? If your goal is to have yourself or your message be taken seriously, who in their right mind would willingly handicap themselves? It takes a fraction of a second to go from creating a product that is objective garbage to one that is visually appealing, visually tolerable and will keep more people engaged just on the visual factor alone; you clods can spare that time considering how you seem to just show up everywhere at a moment’s notice should someone be suffering some perceived injustice.

Second, what the hell was Zarna’s goal here? All I can get is that she seems like a reasonable person who just happens to be filming in the first couple of seconds of the video and then she goes full tilt like that asshole friend who is a joy sober but once he hits that proper level of drunkenness, he becomes an insufferable cunt. I’m not joking when I thought that she was a local news reporter for a small outlet going to get the guy’s opinion on the matter and that she was going to catch some giant rainbow-colored ham planet in a My Little Pony shirt losing their mind about how ‘bullshit’ it is that the Seattle North Precinct wants to be able to serve the city better. I don’t know any man-made vehicle or contraption that goes from zero to sixty like this woman; it’s honestly impressive. Still, was her goal just to go down and get pissed off? As much as it seems like SJW folks appear to make this their goal, I highly doubt that; the few I’ve met that have been either reasonable or irrational generally go to events and meetings and places with the express purpose of delivering an actual message. Since that’s likely the case here, it’s more proof that Zarna is off her rocker and ended up hurting her team more than helping the cause she believes in since she went bonkers. And, even if she had been level-headed, she didn’t come with any literature to help her side, like numbers on why spending so much was a waste of city capital or other ways to spend the money that would be more beneficial. What kind of argument can you possibly make that would sound reasoned and logical enough to sway these people out of building a super facility for the local law enforcement when you show up with no folders or information? Again, that’s fucking pre-amateur and proof that Zarna had no reason to be at city hall or wherever the meeting took place and, ultimately, no goal to be accomplished here.

Next, I can’t make an article on Zarna without addressing her unintentional comedy gold Facebook post.

This is a good start.

I like the initial framing she does where she immediately pulls those who are brain-dead and easily duped in the audience in with her ‘every day it gets worse’. It’s like she wakes up every day and walks into the war-zone that is Seattle, Washington, an constantly encounters horrors like random fit people kayaking, basic people going to Starbucks to pay five bucks for water-laden poop beans (look it up), and the occasional police officer telling those college freshmen who don’t actually skate but ride long-boards everywhere to look cool to ‘not skate on the sidewalks, please’. Side note, what the hell is up with this? First, it was the ‘walking barefoot everywhere’ thing, which is disgusting considering how much litter exists in any city in the United States let alone a college campus, then it was the ‘I’ve got a huge beanie on yet it’s 100 F out’ and now it’s the poser skaters except, instead of them being lambasted like they were in the 90s (and rightfully so), they’re loved. I guess I’m just old, but it’s so weird to see people embrace the idea of not being able to do things. So much for a meritocracy.

Anyways, wherever they’re standing is hardly a ‘lobby’; at best it’s a hallway. Yeah, it’s a nitpick, fuck you. Lobbies are large, open areas where people congregate, not cramped corridors. More importantly, who the fuck just shows up places and records people doing actual things? I’m not talking about being someone who is just walking by a construction site or is in the park and sees some cool heavy machinery being used or a deer in the wild and then stops to film these different occasions. Zarna’s own post clearly indicates she just showed the hell up simply to record people who’s job is to record people and collect & disseminate information. That tells us for certain that this kind of event wasn’t a ‘public forum’ style event as I had originally assumed and that she wasn’t invited because she doesn’t have anything useful to contribute. In fact, this is pretty much nail-in-the-coffin, from-the-horse’s-mouth evidence that Zarna simply showed up to stir up shit, which is pathetic.

Also, #BlocktheBunker is, like many hashtags, mind-numbingly insipid. I believe I sort-of touched on it in the first part, but the fact that these morons are calling this super-complex a bunker shows that they not only don’t understand why this whole proposed complex is a net positive for the area, but what in the fuck the word ‘bunker’ means. A bunker isn’t a towering skyscraper, it’s something that’s built directly into the features of the landscape and, generally speaking, built downwards versus upwards. Bunkers don’t feature amenities like solar panel arrays, obscene amounts of glass for natural lighting and a fucking skate park, they’re made specifically to withstand the actual dangers of a real warzone, like mortars and shelling and enemy fire. Most importantly, these people are comparing this proposed facility to a common wartime structure, which means that these people feel like they live in a war-zone. Yes, these people actually believe that where they live, which is, again, Seattle, Washington, is the same thing as fucking Baghdad. Unreal.

The whole ‘Girls Matter’ in quotes is beyond irritating. Zarna’s basically mocking this man’s reason for being in favor of the complex, which is a far better reason than hers (though that’s really because she doesn’t seem to have one). You have to be a special kind of cunt to mock people who have to deal with real issues like a loved one with a debilitating drug addiction, especially considering the worst thing Zarna’s ever experienced is the pain of her rote books not selling. It should go without saying that this guy telling you his name is ‘Hugh Mungus’ and then you making the assumption that he was talking about his dick and thus summarily unreasonably flipping out on him is not sexual harassment, but since I know morons will argue with me otherwise, I’m including this here.

A look at the ramblings of a truly insane person.

Hon, nobody accosted you; you’re using that word because you learned it in your Literature degree and have zero idea of what it means because colleges and universities have been handing out Liberal Arts degrees for the better part of the last two decades. For that matter, nobody sexually harassed you either, you straight up invented that shit in your mind. The cops were called because you were acting like a nut and yelling in a semi-public place. I know it’s odd to some people but even if you have freedom of speech in most places, that doesn’t mean that directly applies to yelling. If I go outside right now and yell on my street corner, the cops will probably be called at some point for ‘disturbing the peace’, which is technically a misdemeanor. I’m sorry you don’t understand basic laws.

I love the ‘woman of color’ line. Hon, you’re from England, you have a British accent, you are clearly of Indian descent and you went to college for English Literature. You are not a ‘woman of color’ because the statement ‘woman of color’ means ‘black woman’. Even if it’s technically correct if you simply think of shades of skin, that’s not what it means historically. Not only that, but even if you were to use it in the ‘social’ context, which you’re clearly trying to invoke, it still doesn’t apply because when used in the social context, it really means someone who is generally seen as far less well off than a white counter-part. Plus, it’s a fucking racist term, and it’s never not funny to me to see you people use it and not realize that. ‘People of color’ is the same thing as ‘colored people’, but you simps are too busy being simps and parroting academia’s garbage to stop and think for a second because if you did, you’d realize that.

‘Your community’, ha.

At this point, there’s no video footage to corroborate anything she’s saying, which is great for Zarna since she can just make up whatever she wants. Unfortunately, considering how she tried to lie when her own video footage showcased how her claims never happened, there’s no way we can take what she says from this point on as anything other than flaming garbage. Intelligent people don’t do this because intelligent people actually consider their surroundings and take pause before they do something, but it’s fairly obvious Zarna isn’t intelligent so me stating the obvious is just that.

Also, the cost of the building was around $150 million. Small nitpick, and I’m sure some people will say ‘It doesn’t matter, Sahltines, she was clearly emotional and made a mistake’. Of course it matters, because not only is it more evidence that she didn’t know anything about what she was bitching about, but it’s solid proof that at the very least, Zarna lets her emotions get the best of her and she cannot stay objective. I harp on being objective a lot, but that’s because it’s obscenely important to wanting to being someone who actually is successful and matters. Zarna and people like her won’t be worth more than a sentence in a history book two centuries from now about how abundant access to information coupled with a generation of self-entitled people having babies nearly led to the collapse of civilization. I’m not saying I’ll be more than a smudge either, but I’m not trying to change the goddamn world, I’m simply offering my stance on events that happen during daily life. In fact, if I become anything more than a history book’s smudge, that’ll be a huge success whereas someone like Zarna will always be a failure since she never even came close to what she wanted to achieve thanks to being someone who relies on emotional appeals rather than things that matter, like facts.

As for that bit at the end, the cops didn’t ‘protect’ you because you were being a maniac. They also didn’t go after good ol’ Hughy because he didn’t do anything wrong. You made up the sexual harassment in your own head; seek help.

When you realize someone can smell your bullshit, but you’re too crazy to admit you’re wrong.

I hate when I read the phrase ‘Here’s the thing’ because it’s always used by people who are incredibly stupid. Every time I see that phrase, my asshole tightens because my brain is preparing itself for an oncoming mental train-wreck and it’s doing all that it can do to prevent further damaging statements from attacking it; I don’t know how a statement could reach the brain from my ass, but I’m sure there’s a way. If you have a friend that constantly says ‘Here’s the thing’, stop being their friend immediately because they will turn into that person who calls you crying while their house is on fire looking for a place to stay and asking how life can be so horrible just because they left the stove on while they were out at the club.

The bit where Zarna says ‘as if I organized my own sexual harassment and criminalization’ gets me every time because that is exactly what happens, yet she is so far up her own ass and her mind is so far gone that she is incapable of realizing this. If it weren’t so funny to watch people destroy themselves in social settings, this would actually be really depressing since it’s someone succumbing to madness out of egotism.

And yes, Zarna, taking time out of these ladies’ day for a ‘meeting’ where we all know all you’re going to do is caw like a crow is, contrary to your belief, demanding. These women do actual things with their lives; they don’t run shitty blogs or write garbage books that are obscenely over-priced or start ‘Save Mother Earth’ causes that don’t have the intellectual know-how to actually go about achieving that goal. I do love that they told you that you would hear back from them by ‘5PM’, which is the time when people stop working historically and nationally. A normal person would’ve picked up on that immediately, and yet here you are telling us at 9PM that you still haven’t gotten a call. The only places that are still open that late are fast food places, dance clubs, bars and tech support companies. Good god, you are one special kind of moron.

Parents, don’t let your kids become English Literature majors.

 

If you’re going to name drop someone, name drop someone who is actually important or has clout, not some who is as much of a nobody as you. The only thing that anyone could know about Kshama is that she adamantly backs Jill Stein, who has espoused ridiculous ideas like Wi-fi being bad for kids’ brains, that if she became President she’d make Edward Snowden a member in her Cabinet, and that the Wall Street bailout was simply the Federal Reserve buying up the debt and ‘cancelling it’, like it’s a fucking take-out order you place but then cancel a minute later when your roommate comes home with a buffet of leftovers from a work party.

The list at the end is fantastic because it’s the perfect summary of who Zarna is. Zarna is never someone who can be at fault; the only things that are wrong are the world around her and whatever she doesn’t like or whomever doesn’t agree with her is a massive problem that must be stomped out because having to deal with shitty situations or encounter people who don’t agree with you is a fucking travesty and should not exist. God forbid we abide by the laws and tenets that make this country work and give Zarna the ability to be such a maniac.

The answer to her last posulation is the following: . You see how there wasn’t anything there? That’s because nothing would’ve happened. The world would’ve kept on turning and nobody would’ve cared. Instead, Zarna went ape-weiners and is now probably wishing nothing had happened because swathes of people think she’s a maniacal dipshit, which is a far cry from the ‘enlightening’ she wanted to bestow upon us lesser beings who are treating ‘Mother Earth’ with such disrespect. Taking a quick tangent, for all of you Mother Earthers out there, here’s a pro-tip: saving the planet takes real work and requires you to have knowledge outside of the knowledge that a bunch of dead writers wrote stuff. If you really care about this planet, go get a degree in Electrical Engineering and figure out how to make photo-voltaic cells better at collecting energy or study some Environmental or Civil Engineering and help restructure our roadway system or design buildings to take advantage of natural light and greener materials. Don’t go get a degree in Sociology or Political Science because nobody in those fields actually knows how to save the planet; it’s a bunch of hype-centric bluster that they use to seem more intelligent than they actually are. Plus, if you study what I suggested, you’ll learn exactly why this shit takes so fucking long to be developed and why people like Zarna or Jill Stein are so out of touch with their ridiculous demands and postulations.

Now, over the last three thousand or so words, I’ve taken some shots at Zarna about writing awful books, running blogs and spending her time joining useless causes, and you’re probably confused why I even made those remarks even if they seem like things in Zarna’s wheelhouse. The reason is because Zarna studied English Literature in London and has written multiple books on Amazon under what I guess is her ‘pen name’ J.A. Joshi. Most of her works seem to involve Hindu culture and legends, which is unfortunate because aside from her one exorbitantly priced book at nearly thirty bucks (which is the only real knock I have on all this), her material seems to be interesting. I wouldn’t buy it because it’s not really my wheelhouse and when I buy a book, I prefer hard copies versus Kindle garbage, but still, it seems like a waste to effectively torpedo your own writing career just because you felt slighted by a joke name some random guy gave to you.

Her blog doesn’t have much more to poke at, but that ‘Carbon Neutral’ stamp she’s proudly displaying is hysterical considering if you click the link, the website tells you that if you talk about carbon and link to their site, they will plant a tree for you. This would leave you to believe that a single tree equals a single website, despite the fact that the electricity that’s required to even get online, not mentioning the radiating heat from the computer, the monitor heat and electricity needed to power the monitor, the desk needed to hold said monitor and possibly computer tower, the peripherals you have to have to be able to surf the web and write said blog post all cost vastly more amounts of energy to make than a single tree. I’m also not factoring in travel time to either access a public computer or travel time spent buying all of this shit to be able to get a computer, energy spent setting it up and then time & energy spent browsing to be able to even find this website in the first place because there is no way you would be able to find this site without a good bit of digging. In short, the gesture is nice but one tree is not going to make some random online person’s blog ‘carbon neutral’.

The last stop on our journey is the Backbone Campaign page I mentioned at the start of this. The first thing I have to harp on is the title Zarna’s been given. ‘Community Supported Organizer’? That’s a fancy-ass way of saying, ‘I beg people to give me money to spend’. Sure, it’s technically crowd-funding, but at least with modern crowd-funding, a product is being delivered by the person doing the crowd-funding. Second, what in the hell is with those pictures? It looks like she’s got her O-face on in the first one, and in that third one she’s wearing a goddamn microfiber undershirt. If you’re goal is to save Mother Earth, then the last thing you want is to be wearing something that Mother Earth herself couldn’t make, let alone something like microfiber which is expensive and requires a ton of technology and mass manufacturing to make possible; you know, those things that Zarna is super against. Third, those donation buttons are huge and garrish. The vast majority of crowd-funding websites like Patreon and Kickstarter don’t have donation buttons anywhere near that huge, and their express purpose is to get people to donate to other people. Not to mention that, again, Patreon and Kickstarter require its users to have a clearly established reward/product layout that will be delivered. The Backbone page doesn’t do any of that, it just wildly stumbles into Zarna’s personal history as if they simply expect you to donate to her regardless of who she is. Speaking of Zarna’s personal history:

Garbage website with garbage page margins; sorry it’s so tiny.

‘Due to her heritage’? How on Earth does would living in two first-world cultures afford her a true experience of understanding real environmental problems, let alone being a damn Liberal Arts student? The phrasing of the sentence is also really terrible; I hope someone who is ESL wrote that because if a Seattle native wrote that, then the city needs to do a better job on its pre-collegiate public education. The Hague talks collapsed before George Dubya was even President; you’d think someone who actually went to these talks would fucking know this, but of course not because she’s a moron (that or this page writer is a moron; likely both). Also, the Hague talks collapsed because of the countries in the contiguous European Union, not because of the United States as is implied here. It takes five seconds to double-check this, come on.

The rest of the miniature bio is fluff and dumb. People who look at ancient civilizations for values and answers on how to solve problems of the modern day are morons. The only use those have are to tell us what not to do and that’s because all these civilizations died out eventually. History is extremely useful when studied properly, and Zarna and other cronies like her don’t study it properly. Not only that, but how in the hell would the ancient Indian peoples and their cultures have the answers to global warming? Answer: they wouldn’t. Why? Those peoples were nowhere near as technologically advanced as us and thus never had to worry about the ozone layer depleting. Ancient peoples regularly sacrificed young women to their gods, some peoples were ritualistically cannibalistic and most barely had the fire figured out. If you really think that these cultures have any answers on how to stop the ice caps from melting, you need to be put in a padded cell, pronto.

I would have more on this last bit, but I’m a massive fucking dope who refreshed the page to try and get you guys a working link to visit the page, and Google Cache is utter garbage that won’t let me view further back cached information, so until someone manages to get a hold of this exact page I was on and sticks it on Archive.org, the story ends here. Frankly, I’m glad, because I’m tired of talking about Zarna. She’s an idiot that nobody should listen to and should’ve just stuck to writing cute little books for young kids; at least then she wouldn’t be forever known as the crazy lady from Seattle who got destroyed by Hugh Mungus.
