Dicks (American Revelation IX, Three.)

Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name: ~Amos 5:7-8

I saw this earlier, a friend of mine sent it my way.

Some idiot trying to sell their own semen *Cough* I mean "Unvaxxed Sperm" for $3500 per, uh, "Load." 

Good work if you can find it, I guess, $3500 for, what? A minute's work? 

But I shouldn't laugh too much. My own life experience tells me that if you can put it out there, some idiot somewhere will buy it. Doesn't actually matter what "It" even is.

And that seems to go double for conspiracy theorist types, ad infinitum.

I mean, this is functionally the entire basis of Donald Trump's brand, extending back to well before his political life as we now know it, correct?

But, I don't know. I'm seeing way too much...and increasingly stupid amounts of...stuff like this these days.

These fucking people, in fact, seem like they're increasingly obsessed with dicks.

Whether it's their own or other people's doesn't seem to matter.

Dude, don't ask me. I only work here.

For example, Arizona governor candidate Kari Lake claimed that Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis have "BDE." Big Dick Energy, whatever the fuck that means. 

Maybe it's just me. Note I say this as an Air Force veteran, and as the grandson of a Naval officer; If you don't even have the guts to swear, I'm not going to respect you. In fact, I'm going to have a hard time even taking you seriously. More to the point, I doubt you're even going to fight a civil war, much less win such a thing against the rest of us.

And perhaps more to the point, both as an Airman and in the civilian world...in my church background and in secular everyday life, also...I've had to deal with plenty of leaders in one capacity or another. Some of them, that's exactly what they were. Others just took up space, and left it to people like me to fill in the gap.

I never once cared about their "Dick energy" or even if they had such a thing. Indeed, many of such leaders (or non-leaders) were women. So yeah, "Dick Energy?" It's not only not even in my top 100, but I'm a basic straight white man. The absolute last thing I want to think about in the course of my day is some other dude's dick.

Nothing in particular against it, I just don't care. Among other things I'm not some sex-obsessed freak. Right or wrong, I'm getting too old for that kind of shit.

And that's just basic conservative worldview 101 right there.

Which is, of course, not what these fucking people are.

Like, seriously? These people seem obsessed with dicks lately, in fact, with all things sexual and the more creepy and weird the better...but they don't have the guts to say "Dick" in public?

How do you have a fertility cult...especially a Roman-style fertility cult (given that the Romans could be a fairly earthy and profane people, and that Latin has a hell of a lot of words concerning sexual acts) considering that Latin words and Roman practices are essentially the root of the very concept of 'Fascism' (literally named for a Roman means of execution, a bundle of sticks and an axe) when you're afraid to say "Fuck" in the company of your own people??

And of course, their idea of "Mr. Big Dick" not only lost the election, but...thanks to Stormy Daniels and presumably others, we know that regarding the whole "big dick" thing, there's simply no there, there. A few years ago we all spent months hearing jokes about Trump's "Toad stool dick."

I mean, I get it. These fucking idiots are trying to sexualize fascism (This has been going on for a long time, actually) in the same way that Ayn Rand tried like hell to make unregulated Capitalism and plutocracy look sexy, and for the same reason...and of course it's pretty much the same people buying into it, too. Funny thing is, Ayn Rand herself wasn't the least bit of a prude.

A lot of these people are just plain lost, and absolutely in the very sense of that word that Christians themselves use.

It's been my experience that, at the end of the day, dudes that are in cults a lot of the time basically end up literally or metaphorically worshiping their own dicks.

And more to the point, a lot of these same sex-averse yet sex-obsessed people used to moral-panic about that shit, too, on a regular basis.

Seriously, don't be these fucking people.

Слава Україна!

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ~Ronald Reagan
