Foolish Virgins (American Revelation XIII, Four.)

We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world, a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us. No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we'll kill you. Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us; they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them.

The wind whispers of fear and hate. The war has killed love. And those that confess to the Angkar are punished, and no one dare ask where they go. Here, only the silent survive. ~Dith Pran, The Killing Fields

When I was getting ready for work last night, I saw this.

And then, immediately after, I saw this too.

At first I was like "WTF?" Then I looked at the thread. First few comments were derogatory BS and Crypto-Spam. All from $8 type Blue Checks, lest you think Musk not a part of this shit.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

I guess even the heart of our scientific community isn't safe from haters and idiot trolls, and has to protect itself and the people that make it work from the mob. I find this profoundly sad.

How the fuck can we reach for the stars when the goddamned idiot mob is trying to pull down anyone but a certain very narrow clade of people (who also must constantly cater to the mob's stupidity, and even Elon can't keep up with it) that does...anything at all??

And how the fuck is anybody supposed to get the necessary basic skills to work for NASA (or, indeed, any other government agency including the military) when the criminally insane are going after education, too??

When I was in high school I knew kids whose only stable environment was school, some of them it was their only sure meal of the day, too. I knew kids whose parents didn't pay their bills and spent their money on alcohol or drugs. Kids who had to do crimes and sell weed (in an area with basically no jobs) so they could eat, And the State only stepped in if they got caught.

And Trump...basically wants to throw the administration of schools open to the mob, too?? 

Fuck this goddamned pig. 

I'm tired of him, and I'm even more tired of the fact that he's turned the Republican Party into a mob of conspiracy nuts, droolers and thugs.

Assholes, Bigots, Conspiracy theorists, Creationists, Fanatics, Fascists, Haters, Idiots, Morons, Racists, Religious Nuts and the Mob rarely, if ever, build starships, and they never make the world a better place. Oh, sure, the Nazis built some functional rockets...and then mounted explosive warheads on them and used them to bomb London. That anything else other than bombing their enemies could've been done with them was something those bastards literally treated as a joke. Wernher Von Braun joked that he was aiming for the Moon, but hit London instead.

And, left to their own devices, these fucking people will pour a whole goddamned country down that hole marked "Trying to kill their enemies" whether those enemies ever actually did anything to them or not.

I'm tired of these fucking people, but I'm even more tired of the fact that they hold up a fourth-rate, Third World, 17th Century shithole like Russia as something that America should become.

If that's what you think, fuck you.

And what's even worse, is that you can sell your soul to this MAGA shit, and it won't even be good enough!

At a Trump rally today, in his own state, Lindsey Graham got booed.

Lindsey Graham...who has basically become Trump's equivalent of the Toady from The Road Warrior.

Think about that for a second.

And the mob hates him.

Of course, these are the same fucking kind of people who called Paul Ryan a Communist the other day.

Republicans, get a grip. They hate you, too. You're not safe, either.

The mob doesn't build starships and it doesn't give billionaires tax cuts. The mob, left to its own debased hate and lusts, causes the money to not be worth anything anymore.

A measure of wheat for a Denarius...a day's labor for basic survival. Your kid selling weed on the corner so they can eat. Shocking poverty for almost every person...and fabulous, sensuous, nearly unlimited wealth for the very few who can afford that's the kind of expense needed to stand up a private army to protect them from the mob or make the weapons to arm it with.

And no interest in things like space travel, because it is anathema to them that somebody might, even if only someday, be able to get away from their Power.

That's the future that "Conservatives" want. And they don't really think there'll ever be a Second Coming, let alone consequences. If they did, they wouldn't be doing this.

That is what American Revelation means.

You either stand up against the fall of night or you don't.

Слава Україна!

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for Ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. ~Matthew 25:1-13
