Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
Brisketexan replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
Some folks are starting to get it. But.... ....not enough. Nobody wants to believe a truth when it is so horrifically awful (the truth being that we are destined for a fascist authoritarian state where those disfavored by the regime have few legal rights or protections, and their lives and liberty can be declared forfeit by decree). But not wanting to believe it doesn't make it any less true. Sorry. I really, really, really wanted to be wrong. I love this country. I have loved it since I was old enough to read. I'm a patriot. And realizing that there's no stopping its complete collapse -- for NO FUCKING GOOD REASON, BY THE WAY -- is a perfect combination of infuriating and depressing. They have their Horst Wessel. They were ALWAYS going to have some Horst Wessel. And now, they are going to do exactly what fascist regimes do when they get their Horst Wessel. Which, again...they were ALWAYS going to do. This is how it ends. Justified, state-sponsored, state-protected violence against the opposition. It's the "state-sponsored and state-protected" part that should have you shitting your pants. For example, just this week, the trial of a man who tried to assassinate Trump is happening in Florida. If the script was flipped, and there was a man who tried to assassinate Biden or Harris....do you think we'd even be having a trial under this regime? Or would he be treated like the other people who attempted to take out our government by force, and be pardoned by the POTUS? You know the answer. The violence that is to come will either be by the State, or protected and pardoned by the State. There was a window of time when we could have prevented this. We are past that window. Now? -

In other words…exactly what Brisket and others have been sounding alarm bells about for years now. This script is a known thing. And it always ends like this…and worse. Because it will get worse. -
Because I need just some pure happiness today…it was neck bones and gravy day in the golden triangle today… Simple things, good things. Peace through soul food.

The thing is, they really believe that. See the list of political violence above committed by Trump supporters. They don’t know those events happened, because they live exclusively in an information ecosystem where those things simply are not discussed or they are falsely blamed on “leftists“ and not another word is said, the vast majority of these people genuinely think that this modern era of politically motivated and incited violence began yesterday. Nothing else has happened. -

Sigh. They were always going to get their Reichstag fire and martyr. Law of averages and all that. They were waiting for it, and now they are running their play. I find FASCINATING the outcry about “we must stop the hateful rhetoric that leads to politician violence!” People like my family are demonized as vernin and invaders (including by the subject of this thread). RESULT: slaughter of dozens in El Paso by a man who openly stated he was killing invaders. Calls from the right to “tone down inflammatory political rhetoric”: zero. Jews are demonized by many of this same voices as engineering an immigration invasion as part of a “great replacement” plot. RESULT: mass murder of Jews at Tree of Life, by a man who stated that was his reason for doing so. Calls from the right about toning down their rhetoric…zero. Buffalo, and the murder of black people who were demonized as leeches bringing down our society. Same situation. Assassinations of sitting legislators in Minn, motivated by their “leftist” actions which harm our country. Same situation. So, forgive me if I find the calls of “dangerous political rhetoric is bad! It must stop!” from the very same people who revel in it as disingenuous. They’re not wrong. They’re just disingenuous. If they actually believed that, they would have criticized the relentless tide of political rhetoric - including by the subject of this thread - demonizing brown people as invaders poisoning the blood of our country. They don’t believe that. And that’s a big problem. It’s why we are where we are, and there’s no going back. This climate is what we want. I’ll remind you of Brisket’s Laws: it only gets worse, and there is no bottom. This relentless plummet never should have started. Because this is always, ALWAYS, how it ends. This is going to be used to repress, through abuse of government power, and outright force and violence, the “evil opposition” (as people within the admin are already calling anyone who opposes them). This is how it ends. This was always going to be how it ends. You’ve gotten what you wanted, what was inevitable when you decided to walk down the road of hate and demonizing rhetoric. Plenty of us said we shouldn’t do that. Our warnings were not just ignored, they were mocked. So be it. Here we are. It’s pretty awful, isn’t it? Don’t worry. It gets worse.- 5102 replies

They ain’t different to TFG. If he can use it to gather power and hurt his enemies, it brings him immeasurable joy. -

He is 100% celebrating it. He is overjoyed, because this: It’s not too dumb. It’s already in motion. This is what Trump and Miller were waiting for. It was always going to end up this way. Once the path was chosen, bloodshed, ramping up, was always the outcome. Spend years lighting fires, fanning flames of hate…drawing hate in response…then using that responsive hate to justify your original hate…while you also dismantle the Rule of Law, the only mechanism standing in the way of brutality. And yeah, here we are. It gets worse. Much, much worse.- 5102 replies

Got it. You still don’t have even the basic courage to answer my question. Answer it, snowflake coward. Can a teacher in Texas teach a novel that has a gay character?
-
My friend…we were ALWAYS going to get to the endgame. We’ve elected a political movement that has dedicated incredible energy to demonizing the other, invaders, all that. A stack of bodies in El Paso. Crickets. Buffalo murders. Crickets. Assassinations of democrats in MN, he sure didn’t order flags at half mast. When you start down this path, this is how it ends. Always. How many times have I said this path is so fucking stupid, because “it ends in bloodshed?” A kajillion times? It doesn’t matter. This is what we want. And we’re going to get it. It’s why I’m so sad, and so angry. This country and society is in, and heading for, sheer hell. And the hell of it is, it’s not even for a good reason. Fucking hell, it’s pretty much for no reason at all. We’re going to destroy it all, and thousands are going to die (yes, thousands), millions are going to have their lives destroyed/ruined. For nothing. Yeah, it’s just the fucking worst. And we’ve done it to ourselves. If you love this country, as I do, you will spend the rest of your days as sad and angry as I am.

Actual elected officials assassinated, along with family members. POTUS didn’t order flags at half mast for that. Conservative commentators didn’t tell us “we’ve crossed a line” when that happened. They didn’t tell us that when a person spouting the exact “invader” rhetoric of the admin as he murdered dozens of people in El Paso because they were brown. How is Kirk the “tipping point” when those weren’t? It’s simple. Some people in this country should be protected by the law. And the rest of us shouldn’t, we have no value. That’s really bad for any society.- 5102 replies

We’ve been in a moderate intensity civil war for years now. Extremist rhetoric and hate used to amp people up and rack up body counts. El Paso. Buffalo. Minnesota. Now Utah. And plenty of other examples. Pretty sure I made it clear years ago that I never, ever wanted us to charge down this path. Because this is how that path ends up. I have observed repeatedly that this path “ends in bloodshed.” Which is very, very bad for all of us who would like a functioning republic governed by the rule of law. I don’t cheer for it, in any direction. Not because I give a damn about Kirk personally. But because his death will be used to justify more violence. And then that violence will beget more violence in response. This is what we get. We’ll get more of it. And so it goes. -
Have some balls, for once in your life -- BE the finder of fact. Tell us how YOU would rule in such a case. Have a spine. Just for giggles, once in your life. Tell us how YOU would find in such a case, you pathetic coward.

Oh. I don't think it's an "open discussion." We bolted right ahead to "it's a settled matter." It is the official policy of the United States and the State of Texas that this is a white nation for white people, and anyone else who MIGHT live here is subject to that hierarchy.
-
And that they had no issue with gay people, they just don't want them to have "special rights." And now, they are making it illegal to even acknowledge that gay people exist. Fantastic.
-
Do you agree that the EO bans the teaching of a book in which a character is gay? Have the balls to take a position.
-
So. You literally take the position that a university in the State of Texas should be at the very least subject to suit and litigation if a teacher chooses to include "A Song of Achilles" (a retelling of the story presuming a homosexual relationship) in a class? Jesus fucking Christ, full-on Stasi thought-police shit. The fact that someone is saying "well, it's an open question" as to whether even including a book with gay characters in the curriculum violates the law....that is beyond fucked.
-
Yeah, machete dude was a one-off nutbar. And from the people I know who use the trails regularly, they are no more or less "safe" than they were some years ago. Running around in poorly lit areas with lots of places people can hide makes people nervous, and rightly so. But the number of crimes committed on the trail hasn't materially changed, from what I understand.
-
Cool. So answer this simple question: if literature that is part of a curriculum has a character that is trans, or of some other gender or sexual orientation, can the professor teaching on that book say "this character is trans?" Or must the professor simply pretend the character and their sexual orientation in the book don't exist? And remember, the edict you cited also goes to sexual orientation. So, if there is a gay character in a book, and their same-sex relationship is a part of the story, is the professor legally obligated to just redact those passages out of the book and not mention them? Because in these books, trans is definitely a thing that exists. Multiple genders - again, in books of YA fiction and such - is a thing that authors write about. Homosexuality definitely exists in some of these books. And by your take, and the governors, those things cannot be "taught" at all.
-
Oh...it says that? Where. Show us the prohibition on a class examining YA literature -- contemporary versions of which can include different gender recognition and constructs -- that actually PROHIBITS recognizing that and reflecting it in a class on YA literature. Can you do that? Or is this just the broad say-so of "the legislature banned 'DEI,' and that means no talking about anything some reactionary legislator in Conroe says is 'woke?'" Because if that's the rationale....yeah, we're in full-on "thought-police," and anything the regime or its mouthpieces declares to be apostasy must be punished immediately and to maximum effect. God, this is all so dumb. And also, the video gotcha bullshit is toxic as hell. My son was just talking about this to me the other night, as we were discussing generational differences. He and his friends have observed that Gen Alpha and young Gen Z are TERRIFIED of being caught on video being "cringe," which is often going to be something taken wildly out of context etc. As in, they are even afraid of letting loose if they're dancing at a club, because some asshole will record you dancing with your arms flailing, post a tik-tok of "look at this retarded octopus dance!", it goes viral and gets 20 million views and for the rest of your days, because you were goofing off with your chick on a dance floor for 30 seconds, you're "retarded octopus guy." Or, you say something that in isolation sounds cringey, racist, cruel, what have you, and that 20 second clip of you goes viral and defines your identity and life forever. It's paralyzing. And yeah, he and his friends have observed on multiple occasions someone trying to surreptitiously record their conversation, activities, etc., maybe for the purpose of posting a tik tok or somesuch. Back in our day....this shit wasn't recorded. We had the security of being silly, even stupid, as we were young and growing up and learning behavior and boundaries. As for tolerating stupid ideas, yeah, that's a problem as well. Shutting down performative idiocy is a healthy thing. I remember in undergrad, there was a gal in my philosophy class (teacher was the dep't chair) who was super-crunchy liberal feminist. I mean, EVERYTHING came back to feminism. You couldn't order a cup of coffee without her lecturing you on the patriarchy of coffee plantations or some shit. So, during a lecture on Kant, she raises her hand and asked some long-ass narrative question about "wasn't Kant's theory on blah blah blah as it relates to blah blah blah really just a statement of feminist power?" Prof just looks at her... "No." Then continues his lecture. It was magnificent, and totally deflated her self-important balloon. Stupid ideas are stupid. Stop treating them as anything but stupid ideas. "You have to admit, chemtrails are worth discussing." No they aren't. They are a fever dream of imaginary bullshit spouted by abject morons who are terrible at logical reasoning. End of discussion. We aren't going to debate utter idiocy. We're going to say "No," and move on.

I can absolutely BUY a firearm much faster than I can rent a car. Unless you’re a member of their “preferred” program (where you get to just get in your car and go), all car rental experiences are awful.
