We're Republicans, No Lives Matter (American Revelation X, Six.)

The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer after all. You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits — not animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty." ~Ronald Reagan

I saw this earlier today.

I'm just saying, I'm not sure that calling anti-bullying programs, diversity and kindness initiatives "Marxist" sends the message you think it does, Republicans.

"Common decency is Communist" doesn't sound like a winning message for the people who have to put up with your bullshit.

More to the point, aren't these the same fucking people constantly abasing themselves before Vladimir Fucking Putin?? You know, the guy who's re-Sovietizing Russia and who's ordered his government and military to fly the goddamned Hammer and Sickle again?

These motherfuckers aren't smart enough to see how they're contradicting themselves.

And while I'm at it, Capitalism generally means that people have to want to buy whatever you're selling. Generally if you're mean to people, they don't want to give you their money...I suppose unless they're wannabe-fascists who think you'll be meaner to somebody else. But then I saw that Trump's PAC only raised $40 last quarter (No, that was not a typo) so I suspect people's appetite for this stupid high-school bullying shit is running out.

I mean, seriously, have these motherfuckers even read the Bible, let alone read, studied or tried to understand history...in any way whatever?

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. ~Galatians 5:22-23

I suppose next these idiots will try and say that the Bible is Marxist?

Show me a regime openly based on cruelty, hatred, and racism that lasted more than a couple decades at the most before either its people or some other country or countries put an end to that shit. 

And/or how long is it before those who love cruelty and hatred simply destroy whatever they were ostensibly supposed to be protecting? 

I'm assuming you've heard of the anti-Hijab and anti-Regime protests going on in Iran right now? I read an article not too long ago that said the actual rate of Islamic belief in Iran has actually plummeted, that no one respects the Clerical class anymore, and that Iranian "Religious Police" often get beat up. The article I read, by Shay Khatiri of The Bulwark, said that it's mostly only old people and regime supporters who go to Mosque or pray regularly and that young people often use ostensibly "Islamic" events as hookup points and social gatherings.

At a minimum, people go into this kind of situation thinking nobody's going to be cruel to them. But those in power, or who are associated with those in power, or the lackeys thereof inevitably let the power go to their heads and do things that hurt the people who thought they were going to be the "Ruling Class." I mean, seriously, how many times during the Trump years did we see some white idiot saying "But he's hurting the wrong people!"

Leopards Eating Faces Party, Leopards weren't going to eat MY face, etc. etc. etc.

And then yesterday, I saw this. Stonekettle posted an image of a "Thin Blue Line" Confederate Flag. Like, what's that shit even supposed to mean??

There are no living Confederates for their Lives to Matter, and there haven't been for a long time. The last confirmed Confederate soldier to be living died in...1951.

"Conservatives" and Republicans are telling on themselves.

What they really believe is that NO Lives Matter.

They think ideology, money, racial "supremacy" and religion are somehow things that exist independently of people, or something something Gazpacho. They think that ideas...their ideas...represent some kind of spiritual perfection and that we Humans are nothing but shadows and dust.

In fact, a lot of these fucking people believe this shit so ardently that they're perfectly damned well willing to Kamikaze themselves for it all. Life doesn't matter, the Ideology is All.

And then they choose...Donald Trump...as an icon to represent this horseshit? Really?

Do us all a favor, people.

Just piss on the walls of Plato's Cave and walk away. 

We, as a society, need to start rhetorically using the roots of all this horseshit as the goddamned toilet that it is. I don't give a damn what they are, your ideas are not more important than humanity. And for the most part, history, reality, etc. shows that they're just goddamned bad ideas.

More to the point, what has the ideology that ideas are somehow more important than human lives ever given to anybody but the rich and powerful people who perpetually exploit this crap?

This kind of shit literally ends up the same goddamned way every goddamned time you run the experiment.

Collapsing civilizations, death, destruction, wars, and the only fucking people who come out of it Okay are the same damned people who have so much wealth that nothing ever really bothers them.

And perhaps more to the point, the goddamn chucklefucks who do shit like fly made-up "Thin Blue Line" Confederate flags seem to believe it's the right of the rich and powerful to eat their lunch, take their money and wreck the civilization that keeps them alive.

Seriously, we need to stop listening to these fucking people and take the power away from them before they burn down civilization because they think it's some kind of ironic, stupid joke to do so.

You think if the Evil Elder Gods were real, that these sons of bitches wouldn't laugh while feeding the rest of the world to them, simply for the sake of cruelty?

We really need to stop putting up with this shit.
