American Gods, Part One.

Nation to nation, all the world must come together Face the problems that we see then maybe somehow we can work it out.
I asked my neighbor for a favor, she said later

What has come of all the people, have we lost love of what it's about?
I have to find my peace cause no one seems to let me be
False prophets cry of doom, what are the possibilities?
I told my brother there'll be problems, times and tears for fears
But we must live each day like it's the last
Go with it, go with it
Jam
It ain’t, It ain’t too much stuff
It ain’t too much
It ain’t too much for me to
Jam
It ain't
It ain’t too much stuff
It ain’t, don't you
It ain’t too much for me to
Jam. ~Michael Jackson, Jam

I happened to see this, this morning when I got up.

Some Evangelical weirdo evangelized Elon Musk on Twitter.

Welcome to hell, motherfucker. Welcome to hell.

But ya know, I got to thinking about it. And this person clearly isn't trying to actually reach Elon. They just want to be seen preaching the Word at him. Their religion...their religiosity...is really all about them. I actually kind of felt sorry for Elon here. Dude doesn't seem all that religious, but since he was born in Apartheid-era, Calvinist South Africa, his early life was probably soaked with that shit.

Harsh religiosity for breakfast, lunch and dinner because that's what the government allowed.

And that's assuming you were White.

You know, in 1992 when that song I used for my pull-quote was the hot new music video on MTV with Heavy D, Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan, Apartheid wasn't quite over with in South Africa, the former Yugoslavia was burning, and I was working as a dishwasher at the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island. The world was on fire...but I was having a pretty good time.

Funny thing, I was still at least kind of aware of what was going on. I was still engaged with reality.

These people...aren't.

And some imaginary, idealized version of South Africa's past...but 1952 rather than 1992...is the future "Conservatives" think they want for America and themselves. I don't know why the hell they think it would end any different this time.

These same fucking people...the performative Christians and outspoken "Conservatives" have been absolutely livid, raging about the possibility that Biden may forgive student loan debts.

And so much of it is just...bullshit.

If Laura Ingraham's mother was still working to pay off Laura's student loan debt at 73 (And mind you, Laura is 58 now. I'm ten years younger and I know what conditions were when I had student loans. It wasn't as bad as it's become.) So either Laura's a lazy shit who didn't pay her own debts, she and/or her mother are very poor negotiators or this is just an out and out lie. Or maybe all of the above. 

Fuck, I don't know, but I suspect she and the anti-loan forgiveness people don't realize what they're really saying about themselves. And that's simply that they don't want to contribute to society and make the world better, especially if it involves making it better for other people, or for subsequent generations.

The Right talks about that kind of stuff...the exact same kinds of things Jesus commands His Believers to do...as if it were some kind of dangerous, revolutionary rhetoric. 

Not that any of this shit really matters to them. The Right has shown lately that they only even give a damn about "Property Rights" when it's their individual stuff.

So of course yesterday, in an interview with the far-right Catholic website "The Church Militant" MTG went out of her way to say that the Church was being "Controlled by Satan" because Catholic and other Christian churches are helping immigrants and refugees. You know, no big deal, just doing exactly as their Savior Commands. And Marge thinks that's evil...that conducting oneself as a Christian rather than a Republican-first...is a bad thing.

Marge doesn't believe in God. Marge believes in Marge. Look at Me, Look At ME, LOOK AT ME AND HOW HOLY I AM!!!

Same with Edip and Laura and all these other motherfuckers. They don't believe in God. They believe in their Selves.

The True God of too much of American Christianity...and thus movement-Conservatism...is the Self.

These people's "Christianity" is a Blood Religion, and it demands Human Sacrifice, on the scale of whole cultures and nations, to appease its violent Blood-gods.

It's no wonder they don't believe in democracy, independence, territorial integrity and strengthening the nation of Moldova...they don't believe in that stuff here either.

America...International Relations...Defending the less fortunate, all these things...our culture and our home, the necessities of modern life, and the Commandments of the God of Abraham...whatever interpretation of His Faiths one may follow...are nothing but dangerous heresies to the "Conservatives" as they are now.

Not so hard to figure out why Elon was apparently having a bad morning now, is it?

If I was surrounded by nothing but these assholes I'd spend my days plotting and scheming and working on the technology to go to Mars, too. Except unlike him, I wouldn't take them with me.

The "Conservative" Graven Image of a "god" is a gold-plated Idol to Death and Wealth.

Which makes it only mildly surprising, that their flag of choice seems to be the Red Banner of the Soviet Union.

Wealth for the Communist Elite...Death for everyone else, in case anybody forgot how that goes.

And now they're not even being subtle about it.

Seriously, these fucking people on Russian TV are telling their viewers that if there's a nuclear war, they'll all die and go to heaven. I mean, seriously, what the fuck?!?!

I've heard the term "Russian Orthodox Jihadism" but I didn't think it was going to become quite this literal.

The Russians seem to be having some kind of mass psychological breakdown because their new Red Army is getting its ass kicked by the Ukrainians.

Well, in the words of every other "Conservative" about every other losing side in history...well, you should have fought better, motherfuckers.

This is what we're up against, and "Conservatives" be like "Have you found Jesus yet" right before they insult Him, to His face.

I think some people got their priorities messed up.

There is something very wrong with These Fucking People.

The Republican Party is a self-obsessed anti-Democracy movement that wants to destroy society so it doesn't have to pay taxes...except it's neo-Soviet allies are apparently hell-bent on starting a nuclear war and destroying the world.

Not having to pay taxes doesn't do you any good when the money isn't worth anything anymore, Republicans.

So either you're going to have to start giving a shit about the rest of the world, Republicans, or you're going to have to hope that the rest of us can do it for you.

Maybe it's time for you to ante up and kick in, just in case?

Because if we can't hump our own rucks in this fight...and yours too...that's it. If we win, things continue probably much as they are, but with you having the stain on you of supporting Putinist neo-Communism. 

Trouble is, these fuckers are just fine with that. They've gleefully ceded the roles of "Defenders of the Free World" to liberals and Ukrainians.

Because they don't give a shit. Hell, they want to lose.

If we lose, the end result is nuclear fire and the Hammer And Sickle flying over the ruins and most of us...whether "Conservative" or liberal or neither...end up dead. 

The sick thing is, given the choice I'm pretty sure I know which of the two options These Fucking People would pick.

Their American gods are...themselves. So long as they don't die and/or make a little money, the whole rest of the fucking world could burn.

And that, my friends, is exactly how you go to hell.

Don't be Those Fucking People.
