Yep, folly of youth. It wasn't that long ago that you yourself were an Obama shill.

Wokism that came from nowhere is a short lived mental disease that will disappear and go back to nowhere … thank God I never been an Obama shill but worse than that I was duped to vote for Bush Jr ( I don’t know what I was thinking then but I stopped voting since then … until voting for Trump 2020 and never regretted my vote that ended being stolen)

Well to defend Patrick here, it was pretty hard to imagine that Obama could be worse than a fucker that lied us into a war over a non existent weapons of mass destruction program.

I just met with an old friend today for lunch, and he's I think 55, Ukraine came up and he actually had the gall to say how horrible it was that Russia was at war at Ukraine. I had to remind him he's never in 20 years complained about any of the wars the US has been in. I was genuinely pissed off with him. It drives me nuts that people will bitch and moan about one country and not bat an eye when our country does it, especially when Americans supposedly has some control over it.

It was not a comparison of Obama and Bush. It was Patrick defending Michelle's very high pay no-show hospital job that Michelle acquired when Barak was a state Senator with influence over the hospital's funding. Patrick used the final calendar year of Michelle's "employment" to show her pay was not so high, but that was misleading since she only worked the first 3 months of that calendar year. Patrick was also very pro Elizabeth Warren when she first came on the scene, despite Liz working under TurboTax Timmy. I am not picking on Patrick here, just showing evolution of opinion.

Well, there's the rub. US military is supposed to be the murder monkey arm for City of London, Vatican, and Swiss based CIA Corporation and Globalists/bankers. I doubt people in the USA have often been propagandized to approve of many wars since WWII, so you can see their efforts to support Ukraine with the gullible LibbyFuck chumps means Ukraine has special purpose in their corruptions.

I used to be pro Pocahontas - she had some pretty good speeches against the banks, but it was all theater. Now I'm constantly on guard for fakes. DeSantis might be a fake I feel.

At least we evolve. I know SOOOOO many people that don't.

I'm just overjoyed that Americans didn't vote for this at all. I'm rather annoyed by people that THINK that they did, but that's it.

My friend thinks "Russia hacked our election" because he knows some Russian woman that claims it's true. I said something rude like "I'd like to meet this broad and have her explain to me how it was done, because we just had the most secure election ever suddenly - what changed?"

He's a normie. Smart guy, but when I disagree with his pre-programmed beliefs, he just thinks I'm stupid. That's basically our relationship. A LONG time ago, he was my boss, and 5 years my senior. Well I'm 50 now. It's funny that I've overtaken so many people in certain areas of intellect and knowledge and you TRY to bring them along, but "you're just a kid or stupid or naive or gullible" or whatever. They can't conceive you know more than they do.

I'll have to watch out for that. Eventually my younger friends will outstrip my intellect in some areas. I need to make a note not to make the same mistake.

That was harsh, @HeadSet. But good. Wish I said that first.

Patrick banned my ass for a number of years when he was on Obamashill mode.

Wow I don't remember that, that actually happened? Must have been offline for a while banging chicks left and right ;)

I now think Obama was just a mediocre president. Not especially evil, just another tool of the WEF types. And mysteriously rich like most Democrats who get into power.

I was indifferent to Obama and didn't really gibbe shit at that time. However, it was intriguing when the rumors of his Chicago gay cocaine trysts came out, and then, of course, the whammy that he was bi/gay, likely pedophile, and had a tranny wife with two fake kids. He was definitely a Manchurian designed to show maximum contempt for the American people by being foisted as something else.

Of course, the rumors say Macron was a child male prostitute and his wife is a tranny who has basically been his intel handler from the time he was young. The Baphomet Satanist inversion specialists have a thing for deceiving with trannies and homos.

I don't know if he was bi or a pedophile but rumors swirled in the gay community that he was homosexual with Rahm Emanuel. My cousin is gay, and he's convinced. That was back when homosexuality was still taboo, and within the gay community, there was a lot of (reliable) talk.

I'm rather doubtful that Michelle is a dude, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was a marriage of convenience to make Obama "acceptable".

One thing I've learned with my cousin is a lot of rumors he heard, turned out to be true. Homosexuality used to be an underworld, and although people may object to the lifestyle, word of mouth was quite reliable I've seen.

My cousin taught me "gaydar" by simply pointing out men he thought were gay. I used to have 80%+ accuracy for a while. It's like sexing chickens but I'm either out of practice or it's no longer relevant. Gay people used to advertise to find partners, I don't know if they do now. Times have changed a bit in 20 years. Now people are just out, nobody is in the closet.

We replaced shit with shit.

I knew Obozo's voting record in the senate. He voted to fund the Iraq War every single time except when he was running for the democratic nomination. Cliton did the same thing.

Still, I wanted to punish the Republicons. McCain wouldn't have been any better, or worse.

The two assholes we normally get to choose from are identical in any relevant way. In 2024, unless Trump is on the ticket, I expect no difference. I think Trump MAY be different, maybe. He mixed up the salad quite a bit. I enjoyed him.

An American inquisition
Almost 500 years after Galileo, quasi-religious frenzies flow freely once again




The nation is entering a Galilean moment. Public and private authorities stubbornly pursue make-believe about race, ethnic loyalties, families, men and women, and civic adhesion. They deny the limits of nature.

It’s not the first time that human vanity has taken a run at truth and punished those who don’t fall into line.

To avoid prison in 1633, the astronomer and polymath Galileo recanted his defense of Copernicus’s discovery that the earth was not the center of the universe. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.

“And yet it moves,” Galileo is reputed to have said later, and bitterly, silenced by haughty thought examiners.

Almost five hundred years after Galileo, quasi-religious frenzies flow from identity politics to grant Inquisitors the exclusive right to define “appropriate behavior” and “hate speech,” challenging freedom of conscience and nature itself.

The supernatural proposition that trans men and women are “born with the wrong chromosomes” and suffer this condition because they say so is a concept as false as geocentrism, only more obvious. ...

Nonetheless, tens of millions of Americans of a relatively wide band — in terms of assets, geography, and demography — remain attached to law, work, and respectable behavior. Their instincts keep them in touch with what is.

They contest the solemn impositions of the fantastic and false. “And yet it moves,” they say under their breath, seething at today’s social astrologies. Moreover, Galileo was vindicated — truth wins — and his tormentors were dispatched onto the ash heap of history. The same might happen, if we are fortunate, with our present-day arbiters of allowable thought.

Yep warren used to be decent then sold out - DeSantis is real, no indication of fake so far.

These people were always dreamers/idealists and some were always dumb or asshoes, but for the most part they used to fight actual nazis and authoritarian structures in government. They have been successfully brainwashed by the globalist leftoid agtprop so become letftoid brownshirts, the elite are laughing at these useful idiots who actively promote division and destruction of society and authoritarian oppression of speech and freedoms and objective truths. Their lives have been rendered useless except for being tools of the globalist marxist leftoids, this is more than folly of youth. You could not have convinced an antifa of the 1980s to go disrupt an event claiming that men and womyn are biologically different.

What is sobering is that all three of these dissidents -- James Damore, Dr. Heather Heying, and Dr. Peter Boghossian -- lost their jobs over woke nonsense.

Patrick says

Maybe wokeness is just a symptom of being in one's 20's:

Those are the naïve years where you assume "Real Socialism" hasn't been tried yet.
It's also the time you believe that because of rich people, you don't have any marketable skills. Only they don't call it "Marketable Skills" they call it money.
The Chaz zone alone, dispelled every myth I held as a truth, when I was in my 20's.

Elon Musk: 'Wokeness Is Divisive, Exclusionary, and Hateful'
Madeline Leesman
December 22, 2021 11:15 AM

In an interview this week, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk said that wokeness “wants to make comedy illegal” and gives “cruel” people a reason to be hateful.

Musk made the remarks in a one hour and forty-minute interview with The Babylon Bee, where he discussed wokeness, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D), the Metaverse, taxing the rich, and more with CEO Seth Dillon, Editor-In-Chief Kyle Mann, and Creative Director Ethan Nicolle.

“Generally, I think we should be aiming for, like, a positive society, and it should be okay to be humorous,” Musk said in the interview.

“Wokeness basically wants to make comedy illegal, which is not cool. I mean, [Dave] Chappelle? Like, what the f*? I mean, trying to shut down Chappelle? C’mon man. That’s crazy."

“Do we want a humorless society that is simply rife with condemnation and hate, basically?” Musk asked.

“And no forgiveness,” Dillon added.

“Yeah,” Musk nodded in agreement. “At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people a reason – it gives them a shield to be mean and cruel armoured in false virtue.”

But in this role, Blanchett hits close to the Christian teaching of intrinsic worth that has shaped Western civilization – the idea that all people have equal inherent value and should be judged on their character, accomplishments, behavior, and skill rather than external features or deterministic outputs.

It is an important lesson: If you can dismiss Bach, Washington, Shakespeare, or Michelangelo simply because they were "cis white males," then you too can be judged on your sexuality, skin tone, and sex.

The woke might want to pay attention, for the generations after them will eat them alive based on their own standards.

their entire ethos and praxis has been arranging the world in such a manner that they are the only ones allowed to speak. they take over media, movies, TV, museums, classrooms, and conversation. the bristle with nasty energy always ready to attack anyone voicing disagreement and they censor, cancel, and shout down anyone who dares diverge.

it’s rule by fear.

these people are impossible to work with, unpleasant to work near, and have been driving away customers and co-workers alike.

their movies bomb. their oppressive performative regimes are exhausting.

they add nothing and demand everything.

and seeing them leave is nature healing.

now it’s only government that is still driving wokeward. ...

i'll bet they are alarmed.

their entire ideology relies upon suppressing dissenting views and being the only one talking in order to make itself seem like a legitimate majority when the fact of the matter is that is it neither.

and that's about to become crystal clear.

this whole movement is predicated on no one being allowed to question it. it simply defines its own core salients as “non-interrogatable” and then demands to deconstruct all else in a game of “punch no punchbacks” that is critical to its survival because if there is one thing that woke cannot do, it’s take a punch.

The "empty" farmland feeds those high-density cities. Yes, we could have a billion people in the USA if we live hand to mouth and clustered into shacks, but no way that billion people could have a 1st world lifestyle.
