Let me lay it out in black and white (and a little yellow) why Bigot is in fact the proper and exact way to define the behavior of so many people these days. This from the OED. Image
What I find incredible is how the very people who are text book bigots find it perfectly acceptable to mock and laugh at you when you point out the obvious. Why incredible? Because I could have sworn we had successfully made it societally unacceptable to advocate for bigotry.
Apparently it takes just one generation and a good dose of fear and state endorsed hatred to not only undo real progress but accelerate a regressive path that feels even more fueled and funded by people who not only have never met you, they view you as less than.
Too late to simply pump the breaks. #No

Anyone ever worked in media or advertising? Anyone remember the actual definition of fascism? Take a moment please and reflect how deeply creepy this actually is, especially in the context of the last two years….
I’m curious, does twitter have a Strategic Integration Department? Somehow…I’ve a very strong feeling it does.
What’s strategic integration? Ever see a character on a sitcom drinking a coke or using a brand name product? That’s strategic integration.

It would have been unimaginable just two decades ago that the very stereotypes and methods of silencing and attempted conversion of gays and lesbians that was fought against (by some of the most incredible men and women) and brought a unified voice of sincerity and authenticity
across our country has been revived and remolded into something that requires total adherence and agreement by both the state and corporate powers. “It’s happened before. It’s all happened before. History is worth shit.” -Larry Kramer
Seeing men and women stand up again gives me real hope.

Bravo. Keep going!

I keep meaning to recommend this lecture by James Lindsay whose account has been suspended from twitter.

It’s remarkably well researched and shows the direct connection between theology and radical collectivism in both a historical and contemporary context.
While I always had my suspicions that religiosity was in fact the basis for this ideology, James proves it. He also shows why a denial of this is critical for leftism’s survival and therefore a chorus of denial and manipulation follows anytime the obvious becomes clear.
There is deity, creation mythology, and more. Give the entire series a listen. It’s worth it.

After Socialism? By Alan Kors 🧵
“No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us.
And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them.

I remember when the KKK wanted to march through my home state of NJ. I remember my mother and father sitting me down and explaining to me that our country was unique in all the world because of our first amendment. My mother immigrated from Eastern Europe. She suffered under
both Hitler and Stalin and the Soviet system. I use to travel back and forth to Bucharest when it was still communist.

Our failure to educate about why liberty of the mind and free expression is so important and it’s unraveling more dangerous than any hateful speech or even
belief is terrifying.

Beginning not long after 9/11 and ramping up in 2008 and again in 2016 I’ve experienced more bigotry, contempt and felt the threat of the regressive and illiberal mess that has spread like an infection across our country. It’s hard not to wonder if there

The veil of illusion draped by polemics and pseudo elites disintegrates the moment you call it what it is, a lie, and point to truth. This is why they are so desperate to define you as the deceiver.

This has been going on for millennia. It may, however, be the first time that
the veil is being dismantled by a truly diverse, multi cultural, of all economic classes and races and sexes. They despise populism, need to belittle the people and the souls of the people because through OUR innovation, hard work, survival, suffering, triumphs and pure will….
we are at the brink of something the revolting, unqualified elites have always known. They killed their own not because they came out on top, but because they knew they didn’t deserve the power they had. They know their own mediocrity and they cheat, deceive and steal.
