It’s just never gonna happen. <br /><br />The only way to create a totalitarian communist state which forces you to dabble in witchcraft, before gang raping you in some gulag, is to allow a handful of military industrial capitalists to beg for your candy while wearing pinstriped clown costumes.<br /><br />I say that somewhere in between those two extremes lies a better place, a place where problems get solved and America is made great again without all the fuss and bother coming from pathological excess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-3069391264184670272021-04-15T07:28:24.096-07:002021-04-15T07:28:24.096-07:00What people (of most religio-political persuasions...What people (of most religio-political persuasions) continuously ignore, is pathology. The pathological, psychopathic and the sociopathological kinds of pathologies. Problem childs. Problem childs with power. That land between the mindless selfishness of drug-addled dependency and the destructiveness of the power-crazed control freak. <br /><br />As in, how much does a single human ever really need?<br /><br />After I cut the cable cord I realized that I don’t need all that mindless TV and all those worthless commercials. I realized that I’d been brainwashed. I realized that like our ancestors, all I really need to keep me satiated is a warm communal fire and a belly full of wooly rhino meat. <br /><br />Now the Republicans are quietly thinking to themselves “So he’s gonna become a pyro and wooly rhino rancher”, while far more loudly bitching to anyone who'll listen that pyromania leads to antifa-BLM-BernieBros and wooly rhino ranching to Potato Head obsessions.<br /><br />And I think, man, for such a self-sufficient, personally responsible, small gubmint lot, you people sure do bitch a lot. Why don’t you ever tell me about how your obsession with self-sufficient, personally responsible, small gubmint freedoms has led to your own intellectual, religio-political freedom which has been beneficial to everything you surround yourselves with? And then did New World Monkey just give us the answer?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-36194088871594251392021-04-14T23:26:33.783-07:002021-04-14T23:26:33.783-07:00It takes quite a mind to be demonstrate complete f...It takes quite a mind to be demonstrate complete failure to understand Freud, Marx, AND Gödel in just a couple of paragraphs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-4972998026828554892021-04-14T20:00:48.540-07:002021-04-14T20:00:48.540-07:00It appeared writer Mike McFeely has recognized tha...It appeared writer Mike McFeely has recognized that conservatives habitually express dissatisfaction about a great many things. They complain a billy-goat lot. That is the conservative way, and by extension, the Republican way. <br /><br />It all makes perfect sense. Our American patriarchy is weak and corrupt. They maintain a tenuous grip on power; but are today are far cry from the sleek blonde beasts they were in their hey-day. They are going to be usurped and they know it, they can smell it coming.<br /><br />So Mike interprets conservative fretting as fear, but conservatives are not really afraid so much as bitter. The lion has them by the throat and the legs are buckling. The Elephant is going down. <br /><br />As the blog author. He freely admits it is too late to stop the progression of the progressives. The window for that is long past.<br /><br />Unless. I hear something being whispered about April 25th, and beyond that August. What could be afoot? <br /><br />We are talking Kings and successions- even you can't be caught unaware.

I'm glad you like the sayings. He...Hello Chent. I'm glad you like the sayings. Here are a couple more: <br /><br />"To the guy who invented zero, thanks for nothing." Reflect on that.<br /><br />"What washes up on tiny beaches? Microwaves." True, is it not?<br /><br />And: "What did the grape say when it got crushed? Nothing, it just let out a little wine."<br /><br />You ask, "How do these sayings articulate with the material in the post?" <br /><br />Here it is: "Anyway, yesterday I was flipping through The Largish Black Book of Bob's Quasi-Infallible Aphorisms, Epigrams, Gags, Zingers, Precepts, Gnomes, & Oracles and came across one that goes to our present discussion of Gödel's Theorems and how they might relate to the exoterism/esoterism distinction in religion: The founder of an ideology is someone to whom the ideology doesn't apply."<br /><br />Gags. Zingers. These are of the essence. Contemplate Gags, Puns, and Zinger and you shall not remain in ignorance. They hold the key. The very nature of God is laughter. <br /><br />-Midnight AardvarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-24631516403584668062021-04-14T07:54:12.738-07:002021-04-14T07:54:12.738-07:00Where are this sayings from?

I'll tell you: <br /><br />"If your first principle is equality, then it is entirely unjust that you are an American citizen of whatever race. So move out already! We don't need more immigrants, rather, fewer citizens." <br /><br />So here's the question, Mr. Gagdad Bob. When are you emigrating to London? Adele wants to meet you. And the US needs fewer citizens. You said so yourself.<br /><br />That bit done, let's pivot the dialogue. There's this:<br /><br />"Ignorance is infinite, therefore God exists." Now was this supposed to be profound? As profound as:<br /><br />"Sure I drink brake fluid, but I can stop any time?" <br /><br />You tell us.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-38686779933513782422021-04-13T21:06:34.142-07:002021-04-13T21:06:34.142-07:00After puzzling over Breitbart News’ latest headlin...After puzzling over Breitbart News’ latest headline “Wall Street, Corporations Team Up with Soros-Funded Group to Pressure States Against Election Reforms” I realized that there is much to unpack there.
