Red Flag (On Stupidity, Volume Three, Part Two.)

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.  We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream.  The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well fought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same.  And if you and I don't do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free. ~Ronald Reagan

I saw this when I got up this morning.

Apparently, Ukraine is some kind of a gay Satanist plot, LOL.

I think nobody would be more surprised by this than the Kievan Rus, who were Baptized into Orthodox Christianity in the 10th century and officially Christianized by Volodomyr The Great in 988.

Kyiv was a major city, the capital city of its own empire, when Moscow was a forest beside a river. Seriously, Russians are supposed to be history nuts, you'd think people would know better than this kind of garbage.

But of course, you'd be wrong. Hatred and ideology are a hell of a drug cocktail, I guess.

Perhaps more to the point, on a global level, everything that falls outside of an increasingly narrow range of ideas is a "Gay Satanist Plot" as far as These Fucking People are concerned.

Everything, that is, but whatever fucked up, wrong bullshit they want to do. Even, perhaps especially when that's the sort of thing the Devil Himself probably wouldn't actually do. I mean, after all, it was God that was the supposed author of most of the genocides in the Old Testament, right?

But again, even in light of that fact, I don't understand how the hell they square this with the known fucking fact that the Christianization of the Rus happened in what is now Ukraine. There simply were no "Russian" people yet. Russian culture as it is now has more to do with the writing of Aleksandr Pushkin than it does with the Kievan Rus.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm goddamned tired of these fucking people and their predatory ideologies, no matter where the fuck they come from.

And that, frankly, seems to be the root of a lot of the problems with "Conservatism" these days. Cranks, fanatics, losers and the mentally ill be demanding some kind of a right to bother you with their bullshit...because, in answer to my question yesterday; No, they really don't have anything more going for themselves than that. I mean, come on, don't these people ever get laid, go out for a bite to eat, smoke a blunt or otherwise put all this monomaniacal political bullshit down for a while?

The fact that they don't goes a damned long way towards explaining what's so broken about all this stuff. The thing I don't get is, why the fuck does the rest of humanity put up with this crap instead of telling these ass clowns to sit down and shut the fuck up?

And ya know, sometimes you've got to back that up with punching somebody right in the mouth if they keep talking.

Trouble is, it always seems to end up that there's a lot of other feeble-minded people who want to believe this bullshit.

People would rather live with endless, expanding, unwinnable wars than not have "Meaning" in their lives. What the fuck kind of bullshit is that?

You're broke, you're poor, your country is not only broke but has regressed to the poor standards of living endured by your parents and grandparents...and all too many of the people you know come back from the Front shattered, wounded...if they even come back at all...but you have "Meaning" now, and you didn't before?

What the hell kind of stupid bullshit is that?

I'll tell you one thing for sure, there's a flag I grew up hearing about how evil and Satanic it was and how the people who flew it killed and tortured Christians and suppressed the teaching of the Word...and it sure as hell wasn't no rainbow pride flag. It was the Hammer And Sickle.

You know, the Flag that Putin's new Red Army is flying now and raising above destroyed Ukrainian cities. Why isn't that raising red flags with these fucking people in a more metaphorical sense?

Think about that, the next time some "Conservative" starts bothering you with this stupid bullshit about gay Satanic plots.

If anybody's following the damn devil, it's them.

And worse, they know exactly what they're doing. They just don't care.

The cruelty is the point.

Слава Україна!
