Bloody Hands, Part Five.

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

Kyle Rittenhouse be like "Come and take it, Joe" while shooting a minigun under indoor range conditions in his US flag shirt and blue jeans. 

So, not much of an example of discipline or even the sort of care or respect for what he's doing that I would expect of anybody who should have a weapon. These people are treating this stuff like it's a toy. If you watch the video, they're whooping it up like it's a game. 

And I had to learn better than that before my Dad would even allow me to touch a weapon.

I strongly suspect if this punk ever encountered armed people coming at him with blood in their eyes...whether in the field or indoors...he'd drop his weapons and run away but still be able to easily be tracked by the trail of urine that he left.

Turning Point USA, however, was pitching Kyle Rittenhouse as some kind of ideal husband at some kind of "Conservative Women Leaders" conference or some shit like that.

I saw that and I was like "What the chicken-fried fuck?"

I'm a former conservative, I'm a former Republican. I'm a gun owner. Hell, I'm an Air Force veteran, and as much because of that stuff as because some of the things I've seen in this life, I am (and I always have been) a firm believer in equality, preparedness, and self-defense.

That said, I've always hoped and prayed that I would never have to kill anybody and I'm also a firm believer in peace and in nonviolent conflict resolution where possible for that reason. I spent much of my life as a Christian. I mean, come on, what part of "Thou Shalt Not Kill" don't people understand? 

That said, there's times where fate, the need to protect life, or the assholes on the other side don't give you any of those options, and no matter what, they'll find people that care about the Holy Word a lot less than you do.

And that's where things like real training are needed, so one can react appropriately to threats and shit.

Actual "Women leaders" don't need a man to defend them, they can do it themselves. Or they can learn how like these Finnish ladies who are undergoing basic military training are doing. And apparently they're doing their training wearing cool purple hats for whatever reason. I'll take that over "Movement Conservatism" swooning over a young punk-killer any time.

But conservatives aren't interested in defending anything, except privilege and wealth they often did little or nothing to earn in the first place. And they're only interested in attacking anything that can't or won't fight back...unless they're stabbing an unexpecting victim in the back...because they're cowards.

These people have kicked every previous icon of their movement, every real leader they ever had, to the curb...for Trump.

And now even he's slowly being forgotten and they're actively trying to find somebody worse, because that itch in their brains demands even bigger hits of cruelty and hate now, to get the same fix.

The fact that we can no longer rely on these people for anything except a knives in the back and stupid shit is probably a big part of why the West has pretty much outsourced the defense of the Free World to the Ukrainians...and why the Finns and the Swedes, even though they're joining NATO...are preparing to defend themselves.

About a third of America, at this point, cannot be trusted to do anything constructive. Hell, they can't be trusted to recognize a real threat or even a real shot at relieving the debased ennui they shroud themselves in...and I think a lot of it is simply because they do not want to.

It's like they want to be blood-soaked murderers, but they don't have the guts to shoot a gun at anything that can shoot back and they sure as hell don't want to get blood on their soft little white hands.

So they tried stockpiling political power to get somebody to do it for them, and that didn't work.

But along the way, they figured something else out.

These fucking people decided they like being miserable sons of bitches.

And I think we, as a society, are going to have to do something about that...because "Conservatives" have simply decided that they do not want to participate in any society that requires anything of them and doesn't automatically appoint them as some kind of autocratic racial overlords.

But these people's apparently-overwhelming need for dominance over somebody...hell...anybody...seems to mask a hella craving for the taste of boot-leather. And mind you, they seem to neither know nor care about the issues of consent or safety that most actual kinky people are rather adamant about. 

The main thing, really, is that they seem to get off on cruelty...even if it's being done to them, so long as somebody they don't like gets it too, or gets it worse.

Unless of course you're Peter Navarro in which case a routine arrest is equated with a boot stomping on his face forever...and he seems to want to be seen crying about it.

These fucking people are basically, collectively, a bunch of simpering toadies in search of some post-apocalyptic warlord to suck up to for fun and profit.

Except they don't really want the Apocalypse if they can't watch it from the safety of an afterlife they somehow managed to enter without actually dying.

And the whole reason for that is, again, the cruelty is the point. They want to watch all the rest of us get slaughtered by their angry, small, mean little god. Heaven isn't heaven if somebody else gets a slice.

There's something deeply perverse about all this.

Like, these people love the idea of hierarchy and religion and a socially conservative aesthetic. 

But they don't want to actually practice any of it. And then, only if it "looks" a certain way, and even that comes with a "Weird guy at the office who got pegged by Olga, the Russian-immigrant Dominatrix at 10PM every Sunday while he's reading the Bible..."

*Cough* [Stops To Apply Brain Bleach.] 

"...But you only find that out six months after said weirdo got fired over some weird sexual incident." And then it's "You figure it out when you're waiting in line for coffee at Starbucks and Olga the Dominatrix is in the line with you and says something that clicks."

Like, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with these people anymore, but it's not healthy, least of all for them.

And since these fucking people have spent the last decade-and-a-half trying to block anything that makes things better for everybody...it's not healthy for us, either.

And these fucking people don't just not want to live in civilization...they're actively trying to burn it down...while wanting it all to be seen as some charming weird belief that somehow fits in with a multicultural, pluralistic society.

Yes, these motherfuckers are about half a step from killing people, and then trying to use the excuse that it's their culture, and that we should respect their desire for dominance, homophobia, misogyny, murder, racism, rape and segregation because 'tolerance' or something. Think the kind of playbook Putin is trying to run in Ukraine right now...but with the Right's weirdly politically-correct anti-political correctness shit thrown over the top of it.

We cannot live with people who think that the rest of us do not have a right to exist.

And that's what these fucking people are telling us by lionizing someone like Kyle Rittenhouse, who took it upon himself to go somewhere he did not live, involve himself in a situation where he had no place, and kill two people who had done nothing to him or anyone else.

That's what they're saying when they imply that people should be shot for walking across deserts to come here, for, in real terms, asking to be here. That's what these motherfuckers are saying when they talk about "Immigrants getting everything for free" when the absolute truth is they don't, and don't doubt that Marsha Blackburn knows enough mean old rich white people who employ a whole bunch of undocumented Latino migrants to know it's a lie.

These fucking people know it's all bullshit, oh yes they do. And they're willing to try to colonize or kill all the rest of us to prevent being called out on their bullshit, or having to think about it being known by others to be bullshit.

We're going to have to face that, and then do something about it.

Because the truth is, their problem is them and no amount of propaganda can prevent a person from knowing what's in their own heart. If these people ever get the level of power they want, then they'll just start fighting each other.

Seems like it's easier to stop this shit now.

Слава Україна!

Two there should be. No more, no less. One to embody power, the other to crave it. ~Darth Bane
