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. ~Hunter S. Thompson, Kingdom Of Fear (2004)

My black face fades,
hiding inside the black granite.
I said I wouldn't
dammit: No tears.
I'm stone. I'm flesh.
My clouded reflection eyes me
like a bird of prey, the profile of night slanted against morning.
I turn this way—the stone lets me go.
I turn that way—I'm inside
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
again, depending on the light
to make a difference.
I go down the 58,022 names,
half-expecting to find
my own in letters like smoke.
I touch the name Andrew Johnson; I see the booby trap's white flash.
Names shimmer on a woman's blouse
but when she walks away
the names stay on the wall.
Brushstrokes flash, a red bird's
wings cutting across my stare.
The sky. A plane in the sky.
A white vet's image floats
closer to me, then his pale eyes
look through mine. I'm a window.
He's lost his right arm
inside the stone. In the black mirror
a woman’s trying to erase names:
No, she's brushing a boy's hair.
~Facing It, by Yusef Komunyakaa, US Army Veteran
Of course, that shit didn't go how he thought it would so the intern was promptly blamed and the post deleted.
Because Republicans can't stop clapping for Donald Trump.
What's it going to take to make this shit stop?? When does enough, in fact, become enough??
Do we have to give these fucking people power and see a bunch of ourselves not to mention all those other people indiscriminately murdered so some 20 year old chucklefuck intern can "Own The Libs??" Do we have to have our country destroyed by the bigotry, depravity, greed and mental laziness of the average white American Idiot?
Or do we not give these fucking people power and have the same shit happen on a lesser scale because these fucking people are basically threatening a bloodbath Civil War?? But it won't be as bad because they don't have the backing of the entire American State??
That's basically where we're at.
They'll lose, but that'll be cold comfort to the million people who died because these fucking idiots neither knew nor cared enough to not shit in some city's water supply while also disrupting the distribution networks for food, medicine, and yes, clean water that could have been shipped in.
Just like you don't have to believe in Gravity for it to kill you, disease and logistics kind of shake out the same way. And don't forget, none of these motherfuckers has ever lived in anything but this modern world that they detest so much. How you figure they're going to like living in bunkers and peeing on their own shoes when there's no liberals to argue with and no power for them to connect to the Internet to go and find some??
And no, they don't really care if they die too, or if they lose their businesses, their jobs, whole industries and walks of life, even. A hell of a lot of these people, if told that their terrible choking death drowning in their own snot was necessary to preserve some notion of White Superiority and the wealth of the super-rich, would be just fine with that. Shit, that's what they were doing four years ago.
Didn't we learn that from how right-wingers conducted themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic?? First, these assholes tried to use the virus as a biological weapon against the rest of us. And, when we didn't all volunteer to die...they changed their story mid-stream, went massively Anti-vax and started filling up portable morgues their own damn selves.
And now they've reached the point of wanting to burn down America itself rather than see somebody else get a slice.
And maybe the pro-Palestine Tik-Tok kids get a slice too, reducing the power of the American rump state even more.
I don't think they've thought very much that there's a whole middle slice of the country that'd be a battlefield, or even about what battlefields and war and all that kind of shit entail. It's all a big game to these shitheads.
These nuts don't really even care if it leads to them working for a dollar an hour in some Chinese-owned factory that's outsourced to make basketball shoes marketed to teenagers in Zambia, so long as that one [Racial Expletive Deleted] that's still here only gets paid 75 cents an hour. These assholes seem to want everything to be shit, and life to be horrible, so long as it's worse for somebody else lower down and the wealthy get to live among the glittering towers of places like Dubai and gather for parties at the Kremlin or Mar-A-Lago or whatever.
As long as Putin gets to feel like he's lived his fantasy of Moscow being the Third Rome and these idiots get to feel like they're somehow part of that shit, it's all one right-wing ball of happiness, in theory.
It's just...I don't know...do any of these fucking people look happy to you??
And their next move, either way, is to try and make it so that the rest of us have to fight a war to get rid of these assholes, thus feeding their narcissism and sense of victimhood forever while making it almost certain that they'll break off a chunk of America for some kind of shitty little banana republic where they can make their own rules.
Basically MAGA wants to liberate some or all of America from the Americans, from the American experiment, from any ideals whatever that aren't narcissistic worship of themselves.
In the end, they'll lose.
But they want to make it so they take millions of other people down with them out of simple cruelty and spite. That's the whole point of this increasingly petty Fascism.
They don't really care if they win, just so everybody else loses.
These people would rather destroy their own shit than share it with Black folks.
Evidently they see America that way too.
You either believe in freedom or you don't.
You're either a Better Citizen or you're not.
Either you'll stand up, or you won't.
Me? I don't want to keep having to put up with this bullshit.
Слава Україна!
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well fought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don't do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free. ~Ronald Reagan.
"The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride."

When men stop believing in God, it isn't that they then believe in nothing: they believe in everything. ~Umberto Eco
