ShoeOnHead grapples with the inexplicable Lindsay Clancy TikTok Cult, and comes to the same conclusion the rest of us have: They’re insane.
“Enough about women’s rights. It is time to talk about women’s wrongs.”
“Here is a unique brain frying happening over on Tik Tok. And it has caused probably the greatest gender divide I have ever seen on any culture war topic ever. It’s one of the very few times I’ve genuinely been taken aback by something on the internet. And if you know me, that should worry you.”
“Many Republican women and mostly Democrat women are finally coming together.” I think Shoe is 99.9% wrong here. The number of Republican women supporting Lindsay Clancy seems minuscule.
“If you are a man dating a woman, ask her about the Lindsay Clancy trial. And if she says she feels bad for her, or even worse, the husband did it, run.”
“Yes, the women are rising up to defend Lindsay Clancy, a woman who brutally took out her own three children. Lindsay admitted she did it. Her lawyers admitted she did it. All evidence lines up and proves she did it. The current trial debate was not about if she did it or not. The current trial is about whether she will be thrown in prison for murder or thrown in a looney bin for being crazy.”
“The insane theories people are coming up with to defend this woman, the bizarre fanfiction they are writing about her husband, how they have donated over $1 million for her, and all of the real life protests happening to support her. O.J. Simpson for white women.”
“Now, not all women are defending Lindsay Clancy, obviously, but nearly all of the people defending her, like 99.99% of the people defending her are women.”
“These people are crazy. These people are freaks.”
“Let’s talk about why ‘Repeal the 19th’ was trending on Twitter for three days. And let’s take a comprehensive look into what I am calling mass female Tik Tok psychosis.
“In January 2023, Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse and mother of three, murdered her three children. 5-year-old Kora,3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Ken. On the evening of January 24th, Lindsay Clancy purposely sent her husband Patrick Clancy out on a long errand. She told him to pick up medication at CVS and pick up food from a restaurant far away. And while he was gone, she took each of her children one by one down to the basement and strangled them to death with exercise ropes. She then tried to take the coward’s way out by jumping out a two-story window and she’s now paralyzed in a wheelchair. The defense argues that Lindsay was suffering from postpartum psychosis.”
“As it stands right now and as it stood for years, it is universally accepted that Lindsay Clancy killed her children. The trial was about if Lindsay was going to prison or the Looney Bin. Nobody in the court is arguing that Lindsay Clancy is innocent. Not even her own lawyer. Nobody. Well, nobody except thousands and thousands of women on TikTok. Lindsay Clancy didn’t do it.”
“Believe all women.” “I killed my kids.” “No, you didn’t.” “For some reason, every woman and her mother has convinced herself that actually Lindsay’s husband, Patrick, is the real perpetrator of this crime. Despite there being absolutely no proof of this anywhere whatsoever.”
Montage of TikTik comments: “Lindsay Clancy is innocent. The husband did it. I said what I said. New theory. He killed the kids. His was the voice she heard. He threw her out the window. She’s about to be jailed for life for something her husband did. He was having an affair. He plotted. He drugged her. I think the voices she was hearing was him. Her surviving wasn’t part of his plan. I think he was already having an affair. He killed his kids and attempted to kill her, then blamed her for what he actually did. I think he did it while she was in severe psychosis and convinced her she did it. I have the strangest feeling that he was having an affair with one of her doctors. I just can’t prove it.”
“None of that shit they said is true. None of it. Not a single thing they said is based in reality.”
“This all happened years ago. They investigated the husband and found nothing. But you see, the dozens of professionals working on this case, the detectives, the FBI, the cops, the lawyers are nothing compared to the mind of the TikTok female. They can see through it all. Evidence be damned. The husband did it and they can prove it with intuition and vibes and star racism.”
Snipping put women spouting Astrology BS.
More female TikTok madness: “I think the voices Lindsay Clancy was hearing in her head were her husband’s thoughts. Women when they are postpartum are more psychically intuitive and telepathic. Women have intuition. So many of us are standing behind Lindsay because we know she didn’t do it. As women, we know what he did. We see it. Women know. We all know. It’s Patrick Clancy versus the women of America at this point.”
“‘Like, why hasn’t he been arrested yet?’ Oh my god. Because the law isn’t based on emotions and TikTok girlies gut feelings, but rather uses evidence, testimonies, digital footprints, and most important, confessions to determine guilt. ‘Says the man.'”
“Women have intuition. Men do not. Women need to lead the FBI. No, because women’s intuition is powerful.”
“Women have all this magical intuition until it comes to finding a good man, and then all their exes are abusive narcissists. Weird how that works out.”
More TikTok madness: “How do we know Patrick Clancy did it? Well, just look at him. He just looks guilty. This is all I needed to see. Case closed. This is the biggest reason I don’t believe him. Without knowing anything about it, but seeing what the man looks like, he did it. My three-year-old daughter took one look at him and said, ‘That’s a bad guy.’ His facial expressions are giving him away. He’s never shown any grief over losing his three children. Lindsay, on the other hand, is going through hell. Not a single tear. Stonefaced the whole time.”
“‘Something is off. Something seems off about him.’ Yeah, his wife murdered his children. That’s what’s off, you fucking freaks. The 911 call was so horrific, so traumatizing that they didn’t want it released to the public.”
Horrifying description of the 911 call as he’s finding each of his three murdered children snipped.
“But yeah, he’s not crying in court like they do in the movies. So, he’s guilty because everyone knows crying in court means you’re innocent, right? And you know damn well that if he was crying, they would all just say he was faking it, which they have. There was one point in the trial where Patrick’s voice was shaky and he was getting upset and they all were just like, ‘Well, narcissists are really good actors.’ So, if he doesn’t cry, he’s a cold psychopathic Gemini. And if he does cry, he’s a narcissistic actor. Also, I’m sorry, but if we’re going to judge people based on the way they look, what the fuck is this?”
“She looks like a fucking villain out of a children’s fairy tale. Bitch is a goblin. Bitch is a ghoul. Bitch is a Japanese water ghost.”
More TikTok crazy: “There are thousands of woman triggered. The reason? Because those are the eyes of a covert narcissist. And we’ve all looked into those eyes before. I’ve seen that same look in my father’s eyes. This photo of him gives me the chills. You can actually feel the rage he’s trying to hide. Us women who’ve stared down a man with those same kind of eyes knowing he wanted to hurt us. Some of the comments I’m getting are insane because not just me, but women all over the world who have lived with a sociopathic psycho clocked Patrick immediately.”
“These women are all projecting their daddy issues and like past relationship trauma onto this randoming guy. This guy who just went through like unimaginable horror and they’re just like, ‘he reminds me of my dad.'”
Skipping over more “Patrick did it” posts, including one where her psychiatrist agreed. “These yes-men, chatGPT-ass therapists just enabling and feeding the delusion of these narcissistic idiots. You know what a real therapist would say? You know what a real good therapist would say? Log off.”
“There is no proof that Patrick Clancy was a abusive husband or a bad father. In fact, there’s only proof of the opposite. Things we do know from this case was that Patrick was a very helpful father. He did paternity leave. He worked from home. He took the kids whenever she wanted him to. Paid the bills. He let her stay home. They had a nanny, but no, he’s actually a terrible father. And he’s guilty because uh my mystical rectangles told me so.” Yeah, I’m skipping over the TikTok Tarot Card Mystics.
More idiocy: “‘All women stand with Lindsay. Even if she did it, she didn’t do it. Even if he didn’t do it, he did it.’ What? ‘She was their mother before she became a headline.’ Oh wow. Why did she become a headline? Go on, tell the class. ‘Those children had a childhood because of their mother.’ And now they’ll have no adulthood because of their mother. Your point?”
“‘It sounds absolutely crazy, but I’ve got this overwhelming feeling that she’s part of the awakening of the divine feminine. We are all rallying around her, except for those of us who are still under the patriarchy.'” Like I said, I seriously doubt there are many Republicans among the ranks of the loonies.
“Patrick Clancy has pissed off the witches. ‘Every one of us that have roots that go back to the Salem witch trials, we are freeing our ancestral bloodline by coming together for Lindsay Clancy.’ Were the Salem witch trials really that bad?”
“You are not the people actually working on the case. They know that, right? They know they’re not actually working on the case, right? ‘We literally binge watch true crime as a hobby. We’ve been trained for this moment. Clocking in for my shift as an at home juror on the Lindsy Clancy trial, day 14. This case has me feeling like I’m on Law and Order with all you guys. Coffee for those of us working hard on this case. We deserve coffee and bonus pay.’ Oh god, they really think they’re working on this case. You were not detectives. You are bored housewives who replace daytime soap operas with Tik Tok. Again, I can’t stress this enough. The trial is not about who did it. They really do believe that this is like a movie and there’s going to be some kind of plot twist that the defense will have like his L. Woods moment.”
All the lunatic, provably false things Lindsey stans believe about Patrick Clancy snipped.
“Imagine being this guy. Imagine going through what he has been through. And now you have to deal with retards on TikTok and TMZ stalking you as if you were some kind of pop star.”
“I don’t know how this dude is still functioning. I would have gone full Shutter Island, personally. And it’s not like he just moved on and forgot about them. He built a park in their honor. He raised over $75,000 for Boston’s Children Hospital. Also, Patrick and his sisters helped create the Herd Foundation, which is an organization that focuses on parental mental health. That is way more than these fucking idiots supporting Lindsay ever did.”
“As I am filming this, they have raised over $1 million for Lindsay. And I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that every single donation is from a woman. I’m not joking. You can go check yourself. You will be scrolling for a long ass time. I scrolled for like 10 minutes and didn’t see one male name.”
“‘Finally, women are the protectors and providers!” Protecting a murderer and providing her with $1 million.”
“But that’s not all! It gets worse! These women planned and organized real life rallies outside of the courthouse for Lindsay.”
“A lot of these women probably see this as nothing more than like some bizarre form of super late term post-birth abortion. No matter what you think of abortion, you got to admit going from like safe legal rare to like shout your abortion, just celebrating it and completely normalizing it as if it’s like another form of birth control probably had some bad side effects on society. I don’t know. I’m just throwing out theories because like I have no theory of mine for this. This is just insane to me.”
“She’s a murderer and she preplanned all of this. She just she needs to fry.”
“So, like, what the fuck do they want? Like, are you telling me right now that a bunch of feminists are arguing that women’s hormones make them so crazy that they should not have agency and they should be locked up against their will? Okay, two steps forward 150 years back.”
OK, Shoe seems to have unearthed one Republican Lindsay Clancy supporter in Hannah Cox. “Literally, the woman who started the first rally for Lindsay Clancy is like a TPS USA, Charlie Kirk, Matt Walsh fan. It’s not just liberal women. It’s overwhelmingly liberal women, but it’s not just liberal women, which is what makes it a unique and extra creepy phenomenon.”
“There’s also like no leftist men or liberal men sticking their neck out for these women. There’s no like performative male allies coming out like, ‘I support you ladies.’ Wait, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. There’s one.”
People complaining that Lindsay Clancy’s doctors should have helped her skipped over. “It wasn’t really the doctor’s fault. She kind of just doctor shopped around for different pills. She never told doctors she was seeing other doctors. She didn’t tell them she was on other medications. She kept just collecting them, not taking them, taking them whenever she wanted. The system didn’t fail her. And like one in five women are taking SSRIs. How many have done this? Trust me, nobody hates big pharma more than I do. But trying to make this a big pharma thing isn’t going to work here. Not everything is big pharma, big Israel, big deep state.”
She find a comment from another self-professed MAGA supporter Lindsay, so I guess that’s two Republicans. Maybe.
“Men do commit most of the murder. Men do commit most of the family annihilation. But the difference is, now stay with me here, these men are not supported by thousands of other men. They’re not rallied around and they’re not given a million dollars. These men are universally hated, as they should be, as Lindsay Clancy should have been. People aren’t looking at Lindsay and going, ‘Wow, all women are murderers.’ They’re looking at all the women supporting the murderer.
Skipping over women breaking up with boyfriends who won’t validate their madness. “The way they just enable the worst in each other never will cease to amaze me. Oh my god, you’re so valid, queen. Ah, break up with your man for not supporting a murderer.”
“‘I’m considering calling off my wedding next year because of this. He’s a good man, but he said something about the women outside the court for Lindsay that really rubbed me the wrong way and I couldn’t get over it. What did he say about the women outside the courtroom? He said they all looked like crazy Karens.’ Calling off a wedding to a good man because he dared called these freaks Karens. Holy shit! Dude dodged a nuclear bomb.” Theme of the weekend…
“This whole phenomenon makes a lot more sense when you realize just how deeply true crime has infested female culture. Women are significantly more likely than men to consume true crime content. Their brains have been absolutely fried by true crime. And now they believe that like every murder has a secret twist. Every villain is simply misunderstood. Not the detectives, not the FBI, not the lawyers, not the police who have been working on this for three years. No. 32-year-old Karen Smith from Ohio is going to crack the case right after Pilates. Trust me.”
Backseat Karen detectives skipped.
Evolutionary biology explanation skipped.
“It is important to remember that when you are arguing with a woman, you are not arguing with her. You are arguing with the 145 Tik Toks she watched that day. Normie women are having their social media feeds flooded with other women, their community, people they trust, the herd, talking about this situation. Females telling other females this is something they should care about. Gives a sort of faux community and they feel like they need to band together. The sisterhood. A big part of this instinct is the fear of social ostracization from that sisterhood. You do not want to be exiled from the herd. You do not want to be kicked out of the sisterhood.”
“Postpartum depression is absolutely a real thing. I hate how this discourse has kind of become like a debate whether or not it’s real. It’s absolutely real. Women’s hormones are insane after they give birth. They just like drop off a fucking cliff. Things get pretty bad. But for most women, like basically all women who have postpartum depression do not in fact murder their children. But here’s the big thing with this entire case. Uh she’s full of Yeah. A forensic psychologist assessed Lindsay over a 3-day period, and said that Lindsay has bipolar disorder, has experienced no manic episodes, was not manic when she killed her children, never had psychosis, postpartum or otherwise, no hallucinations, meaning she lied about hearing voices, maintained full awareness during the crime, was in full control of her actions, and understood the illegality and moral wrongness of her actions. In other words, she’s a lying ass bitch your honor. Both her PPD and PPP were self-dagnosed after all of this. Psychosis, my entire fat white ass. I do not buy it for a second. It’s like a non crazy person’s idea of what a crazy person would sound like in order to get the insanity. Please. ‘Whoa! The voices. The voices only spoke to me one time, and it was conveniently when the only person who could protect the children was sent out of the house by me. Whoa.’
“There’s no accountability ever. Ever. Ever. No accountability whatsoever. You could do the most evil thing on earth and there’s no accountability. It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault. It’s the doctor’s fault. It’s your husband’s fault. You were let down. You’re just a perpetual victim of the universe. She’s just a girl, your honor. Holy shit.”
“And while I was watching these corny ass Tik Toks, all I kept thinking about was the kids. How scared and confused they probably were while their own mother, the person that was supposed to protect them, the person they trusted, betrayed them like that. Like, how do you do that one by one? And they’re not little kids. They’re not all little babies. like they struggled. Kids are so innocent. Their world is so small. All they know is their mommy and their daddy and their toys and their safe home. And that was just all taken from them in cold blood.”
“And like we’re supposed to feel bad for her. She’s the real victim. She was sad. We have to go wear pink and march for her. No. All these women did was make a murderer a millionaire and get America closer to repealing the 19th. No, seriously. Because of this, repeal the 19th was trending on Twitter for like multiple days. Honestly, at this point, if I have to give up my vote, so Pitbullmama 78 also loses her vote, that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.”
Also, some crazy woman named Dawn Light, a Clancy supporter and quote, ‘crime junkie,’ was just arrested for yelling at the jury. So, this is just an absolute circus and I have no idea what is going to happen.”
“In conclusion, Lindsay Clancy admitted she did it. There’s no evidence her husband did it. She was never diagnosed with postpartum psychosis. She had plenty resources. is she had tons of help. She purposely told her husband to go on a long errand so she could do what she wanted to do. She was not failed by the system. She failed herself. And most of all, she failed those children. And she betrayed them like an evil demonic bitch from hell. She deserves to rot in prison or worse.”
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I for one am stuffed…
For those freaking out about Chief Justice Roberts saying there are no Democratic or Republican judges…¯\_(ツ)_/¯. He’s the head of a co-equal branch of the United States federal government, of course he’s going to defend the institutional independence of the court, no matter the evidence to the contrary. It’s pretty much required for his position.
Now here’s a LinkSwarm to enjoy before girding your loins to do battle over a $99 stereo marked down to $69…
Future historians will have to reconstruct exactly how and why the tipping point has been reached, but the ACLU’s actions over the last couple of months show that the ACLU is no longer a civil libertarian organization in any meaningful sense, but just another left-wing pressure group, albeit one with a civil libertarian history.
First, the ACLU ran an anti-Brett Kavanaugh video ad that relied entirely on something that no committed civil libertarian would countenance, guilt by association. And not just guilt by association, but guilt by association with individuals that Kavanaugh wasn’t actually associated with in any way, except that they were all men who like Kavanaugh had been accused of serious sexual misconduct. The literal point of the ad is that Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, and Bill Cosby were accused of sexual misconduct, they denied it but were actually guilty; therefore, Brett Kavanaugh, also having been accused of sexual misconduct, and also having denied it, is likely guilty too.
Can you imagine back in the 1950s the ACLU running an ad with the theme, “Earl Warren has been accused of being a Communist. He denies it. But Alger Hiss and and Julius Rosenberg were also accused of being Communists, they denied it, but they were lying. So Earl Warren is likely lying, too?”
Meanwhile, yesterday, the Department of Education released a proposed new Title IX regulation that provides for due process rights for accused students that had been prohibited by Obama-era guidance. Shockingly, even to those of us who have followed the ACLU’s long, slow decline, the ACLU tweeted in reponse that the proposed regulation “promotes an unfair process, inappropriately favoring the accused.” Even longtime ACLU critics are choking on the ACLU, of all organizations, claiming that due process protections “inappropriately favor the accuse.”
The ACLU had a clear choice between the identitarian politics of the feminist hard left, and retaining some semblance of its traditional commitment to fair process. It chose the former. And that along with the Kavanaugh ad signals the final end of the ACLU as we knew it. RIP.
Having moved his flock to northern California in the 1960s, Jones began leveraging their labor toward political ends, volunteering them for protests or electioneering on behalf of friendly aspirants to public office. Gaining the respect of San Francisco’s political class, Jones became a player in his own right. Many gave him credit for Moscone’s tight victory in the 1975 mayoral runoff, and he was appointed head of the San Francisco Housing Authority. Praised as a hero of social justice and a crusader for racial equality, Jones became an important figure in Democratic politics.
Among his advocates was Harvey Milk, also a newcomer to San Francisco. Milk, formerly a Goldwater Republican, became politically radical in California and repeatedly sought election to office as an outsider to the political machine. Milk attended services at Peoples Temple dozens of times, and wrote effusive letters to Jones. “Such greatness I have found in Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple,” Milk proclaimed.
Milk wasn’t Jones’s only fan. Many powerful people—Governor Jerry Brown, columnist Herb Caen, and Vice President Walter Mondale, to name a few—sought Jones’s blessings and expressed admiration for his dedication to racial equality and a better world. Flynn does a good job of laying out the social and political landscape of the Bay Area in the late seventies and situating the bizarre respect that the Jones cult received within the general fruitiness of the era. Jim Jones’s Bay Area was the same milieu that gave rise to the Zodiac killer, the lost-in-time Zebra murders, and the depredations of the Symbionese Liberation Army. In that context, a wacky preacher who healed the sick and ran drug-treatment centers while promising a racially unified heaven on earth seemed like a salutary influence by comparison.
Snip.
Jim Jones’s connection to mainstream Democratic politics has been suppressed. He and the Peoples Temple, which exalted racial diversity and social justice, have been cast as harrowing examples of Christian religious extremism, though Jones preached atheism and ordered his followers to use the Bible as toilet paper. A roster of leaders who remain dominant figures in California politics today embraced Jones publically. Jerry Brown, then and now governor of the state, approvingly visited the Peoples Temple, and Senator Dianne Feinstein, who ascended to the mayoralty upon Moscone’s assassination, joined the Board of Supervisors in honoring Jones. Willie Brown, longtime speaker of the California state assembly, a mayor of San Francisco, and the mentor of Senator Kamala Harris, was especially lavish in his praise of Jones, calling him “a combination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Angela Davis, Albert Einstein, and Chairman Mao.”
So Jamal Khashoggi – a former Saudi intelligence agent, a man who was close to the Muslim Brotherhood and a sworn opponent of MBS’ reform program– was in the process of setting up a centre to promote the ideology of the MB. He was setting it up in Turkey with Qatari money. The Saudis wanted to stop him. In September they offered him $9 million to return to Saudi Arabia and to live there unhindered. They wanted him out of play. Khashoggi refused and the rest you know. The Saudis killed him.
Let me make two points. First, there is no justification for murdering Khashoggi. Secondly, this man wasn’t some Western-oriented liberal brutally murdered because of his passion for freedom. This man was a player.
Laura Loomer banned from Twitter. I have had zero interactions with Ms. Loomer, and she sounds like quite a piece of work, but banning her for criticizing a Muslim politician for supporting female genital mutilation is asinine.
