Hess: So what shall we toast to, boys? I can blather on about “To health” or “To success,” but I’d like to do somethin’ a little less rote. Where you from, Brown Eyes?
Migs Mayfield: How ’bout a toast to Operation Cinder?
Hess: Now there’s a man who knows his history.
Mayfield: No, I don’t just know it. I lived it. I was in Burnin Konn.
Hess: Burnin Konn?
Mayfield: Mmm.
Hess: That was a hard day. I had to make many unpleasant decisions.
Mayfield: Yes, you did. Entire city gone in moments, along with everybody in it. We lost our whole division that day. Man, that was like 5-10,000 people.
Hess: Yep. All heroes of the Empire.
Mayfield: Yeah. And all dead.
Hess: Well, it’s a small sacrifice for the greater good, son.
Mayfield: Depends on who you ask, don’t you think?
Hess: [irritated] What you gettin’ at, trooper?
Mayfield: All those people, the ones who died, was it good for them? Hmm? Their families? The guys I served with? Civilians, those poor mud scuffers, died defending their homes, fighting for freedom. Was it good for them?
Hess: But we’ve outlasted them, son. They’re eating themselves alive. The New Republic is in complete disarray, and we grow stronger. You see, with the rhydonium you’ve delivered, we can create havoc that’s gonna make Burnin Konn pale by comparison. And then they’re gonna turn to us once again. You see, boys, everybody thinks they want freedom, but what they really want is order. And when they realize that, they’re gonna welcome us back with open arms. Ah. To the Empire.

So, I saw this last night; The Alabama Attorney General said he's not going to enforce the Alabama Supreme Court ruling vs. IVF.
And then a bomb went off outside his office?
Hold on here, are we talking about Republicans...or Radical Islamists in some faraway country that most Republicans can't find on a fucking marked map??
Oh, right. This is *Checks Notes* Alabama.
Alright, Republicans, listen up;
Anybody who's defending IVF, has any kind of common-sense or moderate views on Abortion or simply wants the fury to die down a bit?? Guess what?
All any of you have done now is paint targets on your backs as far as the Oblivion Cult and the Purity Fanatics are concerned. And no, they don't care if you fall in line later. This is what happens when you play fuck-fuck games with religious fanatics.
They view you as hopelessly squishy with a side of suspiciously liberal simply for speaking back to them in a tone that wasn't a screamed "Three bags full, Sir!"
They either wanna Party Like It's 1955 or they want to provoke an Apocalyptic showdown because in their world either they're 100% Right or Everyone Dies. (And these nuts want everything to be a violent existential fight, so they can feel important.)
And you fuckers spent how long playing "Just The Tip" with these fucking people?? Also, what for??
Did you really think these motherfuckers were only going to eat the rest of us??
(Let alone that they would just vote, and then crawl back under their rocks?)
We've got a SCOTUS with Alito and Thomas and that's Not Enough for these nuts. Think about that for a second.
For those of you coming aboard from reality, Communism hasn't been a thing since 1989. I've written multiple times about where I was and what I was doing and what it was like when the Berlin Wall came down.
These Fucking Idiots don't care about any of that. Hell, a lot of them don't know what words mean. Not just those particular words, I mean words in general.
In fact, to them "Communism" is mere lazy shorthand for "Anything I don't like" which is, by the way, everything except maybe Donald Trump. Ring Bell, Drool, Drool.
Yes, it's a shitty educational system but it's also a right-wing side of the political fence that primarily values emotion, religiosity (including in spaces where it doesn't belong) and "True Belief" for no better reason than those things are easy to manipulate.
And it's not new, these motherfuckers were always like this. They basically wanna live in the Empire from Star Wars.
It's just that, for a very long time, they were outnumbered by conventional Republicans and/or people who really believed this stuff (Christianity for example) like me, and now they're not. The nuts started making a serious effort to drive us out like 20+ years ago.
And they're basically run...not so much by Donald Trump...but by a class of "Influencers" that cares more about prolonging the "Fight" (for their own profits) than anything else, including whether they win or whether they lose.
And the reason for that is, if they won, shitheads like Libs Of TikTok or Matt Walsh would have to get real jobs again. And guess what?? They never want to have to answer the question "Would you like fries with that, Sir?" ever again.
Like I keep saying about this shit, you wanna listen to these fucking people? You might as well invite the Devil to preach at your church.
And if you wanna fix it, you're basically going to have to rewire the distribution system for these fucking people's brain chemicals at this point. It's less "Pavlov's Dog" than wondering how Pavlov relates to Vladimir Putin and if he's thus "One of theirs" or not.
You can't reason with willful stupidity, but you can outvote it and then smack it upside the head.
And you'd best say it now.
If you want a better country, you have to be a better citizen.
And not only is this not that, but these fucking people have a real problem with citizenship in general, simply because they want (but also have never had to live in) a world of privilege and subjection.
We, as a people, need to stop this shit before it gets out of control.
Republicans going after Republicans was always my personal warning button that we're too close to a Civil War.
And if We The People don't get control of this situation now and stop this shit, once these fucking people get going with Blood Hunts and Inquisitions and War Crimes, once they get a taste of blood...and they'll start with their own because it's easy...they're never going to stop until somebody else kills off enough of them that their Jihad can no longer be sustained.
Just sayin' I'm a veteran. I did Peacekeeping in Bosnia in 1995.
When you see people digging up mass graves and doing the work of trying to even figure out who was who, it'll be a little hard to tell if the people involved were conservatives or liberals.
And it you're not one of the Monsters now rising, the Monsters would prefer you be under the ground than standing on it. Against the backdrop of that, I have no patience for all these fucking people who think Joe Biden isn't "Entertaining" or "Far Enough Left" for their tastes.
The Fascist platform is basically Healthcare for nobody. If you're not Rich, White and the right kind of Male? They wanna Kill 'Em All and let God the "Free Market" Donald Trump Something Something Gazpacho To Be Named Later sort it out.
Get it through your head.
I don't want to live in that world.
And trust me, you don't either.
Stop this fucking shit. Now.
Слава Україна!
We've come to a point where every four years this national fever rises up — this hunger for the Savior, the White Knight, the Man on Horseback — and whoever wins becomes so immensely powerful, like Nixon is now, that when you vote for President today you're talking about giving a man dictatorial power for four years. I think it might be better to have the President sort of like the King of England — or the Queen — and have the real business of the presidency conducted by... a City Manager-type, a Prime Minister, somebody who's directly answerable to Congress, rather than a person who moves all his friends into the White House and does whatever he wants for four years. The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics. ~Hunter S. Thompson
