Bedlam.

Think about this; think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of 'em are stupider than that. ~George Carlin

Yesterday, Queen Elizabeth II passed away.

Last night, some idiot Q-Nut posted this.

"It's been 1776 days since the first Q-Drop."

So?

(Actually, no it hasn't, a friend of mine pointed out that as of last night it'd been 1778 days, but you know, Creationist Prolife Math or something something gazpacho.)

Good God, people.

Right or wrong, millions of people around the world are mourning right now, and some fucker thinks it's all about their pet conspiracy theory bullshit?

Fuck these motherfuckers and the unicorn they rode in on. Jesus, I'm sick of this shit.

And I'm here to tell you, the conspiracy theories and all the other stupid shit isn't getting any better.

In fact, if anything it's getting more asinine and creepy.

I'm not even joking.

Charlie Kirk said the "Trans Agenda" is going to lead from Transgenderism to Transhumanism, and I'm like "Is that like all the crap you fuckers talked back in the 1990's about the legalization of homosexuality leading to the legalization of incest and pedophilia?

It's funny how the only people these days with a creepy fixation on incest and pedophilia are...Republicans.

I'm starting to wonder if all the Q-stuff is just projection, and if it's "Conservatives" who actually are the ones who are doing that type of shit. Certainly, that's the world a lot of the MAGA base seems to think it wants to live in.

But of course, all that is a LARP.

When faced with a real crisis, like COVID-19 or the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they either deny it exists, conspiracy theorize it to death, or start trying to empathize and rationalize in favor of the invader. 

They literally cannot even comprehend that a virus doesn't give a shit about them personally, or that Russian neo-Soviet Imperialists would not be their friends. They seem to think that America sucks because Black people or Liberalism or something, and they long for some imagined Empire Of Right to come and sweep them away to some imagined utopia where everybody knows his or her place and no one steps out of line, yet somehow they're not required to contribute anything and the harsh rulemaking of such a society doesn't apply to them.

Historically, yes, such situations can exist but you're never going to be one of the super-elites to which the rules don't apply, and belonging to such a class had its own list of requirements. Being a member of the Roman Senate required a net worth in terms of property of at least 1,000,000 sesterces and membership in the Imperial Family could come with its own long list of fucked up bullshit.

And these fuckers think they're going to cheat the Universe or come up with the right combination of Magic Words And Phrases to become those people?

This shit is an infinite exercise in goalpost-moving and the cruelty and perversion being the goddamned point.

And the thing to remember is these fucking people want you to be the one to die of disease and poverty or to otherwise bear the costs of it while they sample all the debaucheries and pleasures they imagine went with being some kind of Dark Ages nobility in Europe. They want civilization to blast itself back into illiterate savagery because they think they'll be the ones who get to recreate the Power of the medieval Church and that then they can re-fight all the cultural and social struggles of the last couple of thousand years from some point of advantage. They want Civilization to come crashing down so they can "Win" their own imagined Culture Wars.

Never mind the millions, or even billions, of people who might die if these idiots ever get their wish. Hell, they think they'll just go right ahead and repopulate the Earth with their own people.

Never mind, as demonstrated during the worst of the COVID-19 Pandemic a couple years ago, all of the cultural, environmental, logistical and social problems inherent in the deaths of even a couple of million people worldwide.

If it takes a nuclear war reducing the world's major cities to open-air ossuaries and irradiated ruins overrun with genocidal cyborgs fighting bands of stubborn survivors, these fucking people are fine with that.

Never mind that either way you look at it, places like Northern Idaho, rural Iowa or West Texas are going to be downwind of major strategic targets, what's a few hundred thousand deaths among their own from radioactive fallout and starvation...or the vast, crippling poverty and starvation that would result even from a less severe disruption of food production and distribution??

And what about the despair and rage among their own people when all this bad shit happens and Jesus doesn't show up to save them??

All this bullshit is starting to smack hard against the utterly immovable wall of reality now.

I'm legitimately concerned that when none of these fucking people's various bullshit predictions come true, we're going to be dealing with a quarter of the population of America having some kind of mass psychotic break. And I'm sure there's smaller, but comparable percentages of crazy people in a lot of other countries.

We need to do something about this shit, and a good start would be to stop indulging or tolerating these idiots. These fucking people think they have some kind of right to impose their bullshit on the rest of us. I can't put it any more simply than that.

These rich, white, conservative idiots...and that is overwhelmingly exactly what they are...are going to have to be (possibly violently) disabused of the notion that they have a right to do whatever the fuck they want to the rest of us. It's that simple. If we as a species, are going to even survive, we're going to have to stop listening to these fucking idiots, their conspiracy theories and their racism...and we're going to have to strip power from them and keep it from them on a permanent basis, one way or the other. 

Because if we don't, these fucking people will keep up the firehose of bigotry and bullshit and conspiracy theories until they can use it to collapse civilization itself in a maddening Bedlam of nonsensical bullshit.

People like Charlie Kirk or Jerry Falwell Jr. don't give a damn if the people that were their followers have been reduced to primitive cannibals dancing around a fire and shouting Unga Bunga while they pound old truck springs into spears to raid the next tribe over, so long as they're safe in their gold-plated Technocratic Elysium with their fortunes and their heretical debaucheries.

If you want a better nation, you have to be a better citizen. If you want a better world, you have to make it better.

And this? This ain't it.

Last Post

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
