Christmas FFS (Reason For The Season 2025, Sixteen.)

 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. ~Luke 2:1-14

...

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”

When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:

‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
Are not the least among the rulers of Judah;
For out of you shall come a Ruler
Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ”

Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”

When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way. ~Matthew 2, New King James Version

I saw this earlier.

Some idiot saying "Send Them All Back" because he heard Christmas songs in Spanish in Utah.

I'd like to note that in my old hometown of Cheboygan, MI, one of the main gas stations has plenty of signage in Spanish...because guess what? Spanish speaking Latinos dominate the construction trades up here. Why do they do that?? Because White Men won't do that kind of work anymore. Note also construction used to be a big-time White Dude professional job up here. That town's about 2 hours from Canada by road.

Most of Utah on the other hand used to be part of Mexico.

These shitty White dudes all want to be Crypto Bros or Influencers or sit on they ass and play video games and have wealth without work.

Fuck that. The world does not work that way.

Somebody's gotta do the work. If you won't get off your ass, somebody else will.

Like I keep saying it's  *Checks Notes* Capitalism.

But they don't even want anybody to do the physical labor anymore, they'd rather see it go undone and have the future unbuilt.

And again, the overwhelming majority of the Latino workers that show up are Christians, many of them actually Evangelical Christians, Protestants from countries like El Salvador and Guatemala who doctrinally profess Jesus Christ as Lord the same as American Evangelicals supposedly do.

Funny how that suddenly doesn't matter, isn't it?

And of course, the same dumbass motherfuckers want any workforce that shows up to be diseased and poverty-stricken on top of that because they're simple-assed cruel cretins.

And These same Fucking People supposedly worship a poor, homeless Savior who was presented with gifts by immigrant, unbelieving Wise Men. Stop and think about that for a second.

But the truth is These Fucking People don't even want to offer the most basic social services and support, like the kind of shit you need to even have a society...unless people fall down and go into full slobbery bootlicker mode at the command of their fake wannabe King. When's enough, enough??

If you think these fuckers wouldn't put computer chips in people's foreheads or right hands in the name of control and Power and then compel them to worship Devils and Idols of Gold and the Number Of His Name, you're not paying attention.

And any real belief in Christianity or any other religion is a threat to that shit!

*Taps The Sign, AGAIN*

Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
~Daniel 3:14-18

I don't know why people don't get that this ain't right. 

It's not like it isn't plastered all over even the Old Testament of the Bible that it ain't right, or anything.

It's not like history and literature and even science fiction aren't littered with the wreckage of gilded monarchs that came to bad ends. Come on now.

To their credit, enough Indiana Republicans voted down the gerrymandered map and told Trump to go fuck himself.

And some of these people were getting death threats. From their own "Side."

There's something profoundly wrong with American "Conservatism."

And it seems past fixing, so the rest of us are gonna have to beat it down.

It's going to come down to a fight if we wanna stop this bullshit.

Soon.

You either believe in freedom or you don't.

You either believe in the Truth or you don't.

Truth is the only think that gives people a floor to stand on to push back against Power.

Remember this.

Слава Україна!

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

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those...moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die. ~Roy Batty, Blade Runner.
