⛧ First Church of Hypocrisy, Blasphemy, and Self-Righteousness ⛧

September of 2022 and the ICE concentration camps are still going. The US has become Nazi Germany and nobody cares. The Democrats and the Republicans are virtually indistinguishable from each other now, and both are fascists. But because their victims aren't white, most people don't give a single solitary fuck.

Stop comparing Western religious extremism to sharia law or the Taliban or other Muslim extremist groups. It's racist to do so, and abortion is legal under sharia law. Western extremism is WORSE. Western extremism is fascism. Compare them to Nazis if you must, since they literally ARE Nazis.

Also while I have your attention, abortion bans violate Jewish people's freedom of religion since the Jewish people actually READ their holy book, and under Jewish rules a fetus isn't a person until after it takes its first three breaths after birth.

So they struck down Roe vs Wade. Fuck this fascist country. Y'all realize we leftists told you this was going to happen, right? This is what we get for not going after Trump and all his cronies hard from the start. It's what we get for voting Biden instead of Bernie Sanders. It's what we get for not expelling the supreme court justice that stole Obama's justice, and letting Bernie replace them. We let the treasonous criminals get away and now they're making the fascism of this country worse.

Time to check if our politicians are made of cake.

School is such a waste of time. If I ever have kids, they're getting homeschooled cuz public schools can't teach anything at all.

And it's all because schools were designed to be places to educate the masses just enough to run the machines in factories during the industrial revolution, and be obedient little workers and slaves to the state. Except now we're reaping the consequences of that in the form of a government that, even under the Democrats, is just a fascism masquerading (badly) as a democracy. Also, the robots run the factories now, so we need to scrap that approach to education and thus the entire education system, and design something completely from scratch to meet the new needs of modern society. We need an education system that encourages creativity rather than actively destroying it; a system that encourages questioning and critical thinking.

Sadly, though, as long as our government continues to be Mussolini's Italy wearing plastic glasses frames with a glued on mustache, we're not going to get that education system we need. And at this rate, with the concentration camps being literally common knowledge and absolutely nothing at all is being done about it even under Biden, I think we have a better chance of spontaneously sprouting wings and flying to the moon than we have of pushing the masses into overthrowing our "fascism lite" government.

"Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker."
C. S. Lewis

Yes, but let them also hear of the power of individuals who are not trained as heroes to be heroes, fighting against oppressive enemies without expectation of backup coming, for far too often the world's knights in shining armor work for the villains. Let them hear of the brave men and women who fought against their employers for employee rights and were murdered for it and yet still won. Let them hear about people who rose up against oppressive governments and died to defeat fascism and other especially evil forms of government. Or at least let them hear stories that veil these ideals in metaphor, though probably that veil of metaphor should be so sheer it's almost not there because nobody seems to be able to connect the dots anymore.

All politicians for the last 30 or so years have been basically fascist. The Dems feign being the good guys and then put up about as much fight against Republican fascist nonsense as a sub puts up against being dominated by his dom. When the Dems get back in power they do maybe 2 or 3 cosmetic law changes for good PR but leave the rest of the GOP's fascist BS intact.

If the Dems weren't closet fascists, then why is Homeland Security still a thing? Why is the Patriot Act still in effect? (Obama even RENEWED the gods-damned thing!) Why is Guantanamo Bay still torturing people? Why is Biden still keeping kids and their families in cages for the "crime" of wanting a better life in a wealthy country? Why is Biden still using Trump era immigration policies? Biden McClownFace has been in office for almost 8 months now and he's done basically DIDDLY FUCKING SQUAT that whole bloody time!

Jesus frack, at least the conservatives don't even pretend to not give a shit. Damned liberals are just as heartless as the conservatives, but they virtue signal like mad to trick people into thinking they're decent human beings.

TW again for cynical talk about Biden.

Today I learned about something called minarchy. A minarchist wants as small a government as will work.

Minarchy sounds cool on the surface. But then the US tried the same thing in the early years, where the federal government existed almost entirely to mediate disputes between the states. Then the North and South couldn't agree on slavery and all that flew out the window. Once the minarchy model was tossed out, it all went downhill from there and we've now been living in a crypto-fascist country for the last 30 years at least.

Crypto-fascism is fascism that disguises itself as a democracy. It does this by strictly controlling the choices of candidates to ones that are in the pockets of billionaires, ones that will keep up the status quo of committing war crimes on other countries for oil and other interests, while slowly ramping up police presence and militarism domestically to take away more and more rights from the people. Trump was an experiment - they wanted to see if the people of the US were ready to accept full fascism, and they found out that not enough of us were, so they replaced openly-fascist Trump with crypto-fascist Joe Biden and his bastard cop running mate Harris. You mark my words, they're gunning to turn this into a police state. They're already working on domestic terrorism laws that are going to be Homeland Security Two: Electric Boogaloo, and they're going to use those laws more against anarchists than white supremecists, Biden actually said as much some time back.

Biden is a racist who pretends to be not one by partnering with race-traitors like Obama and Harris. We know this to be true by his decades of pushing for more and harsher sentences for people of color. He has been aided and abetted by the Democrats as well, like Bill Clinton. Biden also helped form I.C.E. and helped build the concentration camps innocent immigrants are being held in. I predict Biden is going to do not a single fucking thing about those concentration camps, except maybe some slight changes to make the conditions inside a little better, but otherwise it's going to be business as usual. After all, Obama had the chance to repeal the fascist Patriot Act and disband Homeland Security but didn't because as I said, he's a traitor to his race, just as fascist as all the other Presidents before and since. But he's charming so people excuse it.

Literally, I am not kidding. Every US President since WWII -- including Obama and Jimmy Carter -- would be a war criminal if the UN had any fucking spine to enforce the Geneva Convention. And the war on drugs is also a crypto-fascist tool as well. If the US government really didn't want drugs to get into the country, then they would be able to keep the drugs from getting into the country. The fact that drugs keep getting in is just proof that the government wants the drugs to be here, so they have an excuse to keep using people of color as slaves. Because Lincoln didn't end slavery, he just ended private slavery... prison slavery is still legal. Which is why the racist assholes in the government throw people of color into prison for years and even decades for the same crimes white people get away with all the time. And now the cops routinely carry more military gear than the military does, and their reaction to being asked to stop killing people of color has been and continues to be doing even more murdering and violence. Even white protesters aren't safe anymore from rubber bullets (used improperly - they're supposed to be fired at the ground so they can bounce and hit people, and these assholes are shooting people point-blank with the fucking things, doing fucktons of damage to people.)

So again, none of this is going to change until we have a violent revolution. Because the system is built to serve the fascists.

On someone's FB, they made the comment "the entitled generation" in response to the fascist shit-stain from the Capitol invasion who was wearing a "Viking" hat. I was like "Ok boomer" and they got pissy about that, so I responded:

Don't conflate this dickwaffle's cuntistry for some generational thing. "Entitled generation," LOL. It's boomers who are the entitled generation, raised in a world of cheap education, cheap housing, and high wages. Millennials and gen Z have inherited a capitalist hellscape even worse in many ways than the days of the robber barons and child labor and sweatshops, where we have to work two full time jobs and sign up for food stamps to afford both rent and food, with the caveat that more and more companies are ditching full time jobs in favor of part time jobs so they don't have to pay for health insurance for their workers. Wages haven't adjusted for inflation since like, the 50's or 60's or maybe 70's. And it's all the fault of the boomer generation. But it's not a generational issue, it's a class issue, because it's the wealthy motherfuckers who are guilty of making things this way.

It's boomers that have all the Karens and Chads yelling at stressed out, underpaid workers and trying to get people fired just for a chance at free food despite the fact they live in their own houses that they own and drove there in their own cars they fully own while the Millennials and gen Z kids are kind and compassionate to those poor workers because they've been in that position before.

Do I hate all baby boomers? No. I have plenty of friends in that age bracket. Like you (Brooke) and others. But it pisses me off when any of them make unfounded accusations against younger generations like claiming they're "entitled" or some shit, when A. People saying that shit are projecting their own crap onto others, and B. Y'ALL EMEFFERS RAISED THOSE KIDS, so if y'all've got complaints about them, you've only got yourselves to blame.

Also, it's really fucking fucked up when someone's reaction to fascism is to blame the younger generation. Fascism was invented in the 20's and 30's, that shit ain't on us. Older people invented that particular memetic disease, and if it's spread to the younger generation that's nothing to do with generation and everything to do with the fact that these neo-fascists are rich, privileged shitstains.

Oh and lastly, you're misusing the word "entitled" like so many people these days do. An entitlement is something you legitimately deserve because you actually fucking earned it. The attitude of this fascist fuckwaffle is the opposite of entitlement, because he doesn't deserve his privilege and he sure as fuck did nothing to earn it. He's got the privilege to where he can take the Nazi route solely from an accident of birth, and your misuse of the term "entitled" just feeds into his delusions of superiority.

The Trump Twitter ban is great and all, but they only banned him after he'd been voted out, as a token gesture to save face for giving him a platform for the last 4 years or more. An utterly meaningless gesture on their part. If they really gave a shit about opposing fascism, they would ban Rowling and her little terf gang too. Twitter has proven that they will tolerate fascism on their platform as long as the fascists appear to be winning. When fascism returns again in 4 or 8 years or so, they will permit it. They will be partly responsible for it.

The only way to avoid this return of fascism is to come down HARD on Trump and everyone who aided and abetted him; and by that I mean "convict them all of treason and sedition." Which is, incidentally, a capital offense. I'm praying as hard as I can for them all to get executed for their crimes. It really is the only way to send the most effective message that fascism will not be tolerated.

It occurs to me that by giving him a platform for so long, Twitter's management could also be said to be guilty of aiding and abetting Trump's fascism. Perhaps taking that seriously and adding them to the treason convictions will teach these social network people to treat fascism as harshly as they treat child pornography.

Copied from here on FB but it's not written by Sorcha, she lifted it from somewhere else.

People have been saying that, when dealing with Trump (and the GOP), we have to maintain our civility, our dignity, our sense of discourse. And it occurs to me that there's something they don't know about the situation that's key.

Trump is a narcissist. (Is there anyone other than a Trump supporter that doesn't know this by now?) But what a lot of these let's-stay-civil types don't know is how narcissists work. (Chances are they've never had to deal with one up close and personal before.)

Narcissists don't see anyone else as real. We're not important. What's important to them is winning. There is no honor, no civility, nothing; it's all about them. This is why there's all the lying that we've already seen, much of which takes the "who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes" form of gaslighting. ("No, I didn't make fun of a disabled reporter," for example.) And when caught in one lie, they'll lie again, frequently within seconds of the first lie. I've experienced this personally and you can watch the orange shitgibbon do the same thing.

My own additional comment: Trump is literally a neo-Nazi fascist. He's literally hiring neo-Nazis, which makes him one, and makes anyone who supports him one as well. I am genuinely terrified of a second Holocaust and a WWIII. People like him and Pence and everyone else working for them want to kill anyone who isn't their idea of normal. The only rational response to an attitude like that is being prepared to kill them in self defense and the defense of others. Or put more succinctly: FUCK CIVILITY, BASH THE FASH!
