May it sink into a waterless toilet pit.
The more crippled that toxic society is, the better for the rest of the world.
Fuck you russia for making us feel this way about you. We had no idea you could fail this miserably at being human, at existing in this world.
And this, kids, is what is known as a tour de force.
Is this from one of those christian comics from the 60s-70s, or something? Chick tracts and christian Archie comics weren't the only ones circulating in those days.
A thing that makes me chuckle:
Chick came up with a godless high school in a godless society, kids wearing t-shirts that said "Sex" o "Satan".
Then in the late-80s, Nirvana leaned on that hard, one of their t-shirts read:
FUDGE PACKIN'
CRACK SMOKIN'
SATAN WORSHIPPIN'
MOTHERFUCKER
Necesito
Debo hacerlo todo
POR AMOOOOR...!
Back when San Francisco's AM talk radio station KGO was progressive, I remember one of the show hosts talking at length with disgust about the Bohemian Grove event as it was happening, about the vulgarity of the rich and powerful gathering for networking in the backdrop of pagan rituals.
A lot of assholes like John Bolton and Dick Cheney were up there, an hour or two up the coast and up the Russian River. This was before Obama was elected, maybe 2007-ish?
That fucking doublespeak clickbait headline, straight out of goddamned Orwell.
That stork is clearly trying to choke that wolf, from the inside!
Wouldn't you know it, I popped into the comments to say the exact same thing.
Now if we could get the other 28 (or however many it is) Helens to agree...
ROTT PEROS!
I was just about to ask what about all those non-voting assholes, so many of them... a whole handful of lost generations in there, generations that could've, but wouldn't, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe or whatever.
"Gimme what I want in one election cycle... as if you had a magic political wand... as if it's easy to also simultaneously contend with a batshit crazy right-wing hellbent on obstruction and sabotage... or I'm gonna throw the whole thing down the toilet for myself and everyone around me and on down the line."
It may not be a coincidence that it also reads as:
"Vote for a woman? When pigs fly!"
What a mediocre batch of generations, throughout the decades. All mediocre seemingly in the exact boring same ways, in many respects. Y'all seem to be dead inside, out of boredom with yerselfs.
This is what happens when you overthink the simple act of voting, when you navel gaze for days and months any simple physical effort that requires your presence with intent. You distort what it is and how it works.
A vote nudges things towards a direction, it is NOT a magic political wand that fixes things overnight. Inertia builds up only with several election cycles of consistency.
One side is cruel and will constantly sabotage good faith whether in or out of majority power. "Good faith is for suckers" is their goddamned motto, just one in a ton of toxic ideas and knee-jerk anger and greedy gluttony. Television and internet has amplified these virulent tendencies.
Whoever decided to not vote is in a muddy mental hole and has participated through inaction in making things much worse and perilous for millions of vulnerable living beings.
I have lost my faith in the younger generations, they cannot cut through the bullshit, are actively being bombarded in bad faith messaging, and it fucking worked.
Good luck in weeding out fascists and bigots from your society now. Especially in the judicial branch, you get to keep those for life. You have stabbed yourself in the chest with a rusty knife and call it "purity", you imbeciles.
As a fellow lover of Asimov, I absolutely felt the same way, and the name of David Goyer will forever be associated in my mind with mediocre arrogance and arrogant mediocrity.
Everything about the ideas and spirit of Asimov was betrayed, with predictably inferior results.
"I'm better than Asimov... look... this here's my Ferrari!"
