The Lords of Hypocrisy - Republic for Thee but Not For Me

If a Conservative is Speaking, a Conservative is Lying.

This maxim often earns me judgemental eyerolls from centrists and stochastic pacifists, but it is by long and methodical observation of Conservatives in every culture in the world and throughout history that observes it.  All political methodologies lie because humans lie but conservatives are uniquely qualified in their lies.  I explain why here but the TDLR version is that it is simply inherent in the nature of the philosophy because fear and envy bring out the worst in human nature.

So, this disgusting piece goes on and on about how the May government is "giving away" the "Democratic mandate" of the Brexit.  So, when poll after poll shows that a conservative position is in the minority, these guys say "We live in a Republic, not a Democracy" but one vote by a minority and suddenly they're all about Democracy.  When you can even get one of them to admit that they got 3 million less votes than when they voted for Trump, they use illogical bullshit like "well they represent more land mass."  Excuse me, but are we voting by wealth or property ownership in our Democratic Republic? Is the land voting? Because if so then what the FUCK has that got to do with anything?

Time and time again, on pretty much ANY issue you care to name; any value they claim to have, they shift like snakes and it isn't just American conservatives that do it either; its pretty much ALL conservatives.  Aside from the fact that, by and large lower IQ's tend to gravitate more towards them due to fear (empathy is a higher function in the brain), you can bet your bottom dollar that they are going to use Whataboutism or a Gish Gallop to defend their position.  In the rare instance that you can find an honest conservative who doesn't use Fake Facts, they will shift the conversation into such meaningless hyperbole that any fair moderator would vomit in disgust.

It is time to stop engaging these people as equals.  Better, don't engage them at all.  Those among us who insist on doing so should not be taken seriously either.  It is OK to disagree with me, but if you sling nothing but bullshit, you are to be ignored and if you bring someone to dinner at my home who stands up on the table and metaphorically shits on the main course, perhaps I won't invite you back next time.

If you insist on taking liars, conmen and huxters seriously, I won't take you seriously.  My very intelligent friends who tolerate the bullshit slung by their conservative life long friends are still my friends but I assure you the weight of their opinion is much less unless they challenge these fraudsters each and every time.   It's the only way.

The Constitution Was Made By Slavers. Full Stop.

I am writing this post in response to a rather childish challenge that the above sentance was "Intellectually Bankrupt?"  Oh REALLY?

Well, let's break it down for simple minds, shall we?

Let us start with the simple question of STANDING.

What is Standing? 30 Second Summary, the US Courts use a basic litmus test to see if someone even has the ability to bring a case.  IE "Do you even have the right to make this complaint to us at all?"

That's a legitimate question to ask.

The answer is NO, and not just NO but HELL NO.

1) The Constitution has not been ratified since its original ratification over 10 generations ago.

2) The Constitution has totally failed its primary mission in every conceivable way and no longer represents the interests of the United States of America (I will make this case in greater detail below)

3) The Constitution is not only a 'basic law' for our country but an architectural corner stone which is laid in flawed morality of those who thought owning other human beings was a good idea.  Yes, history is replete with flawed men and flawed arguments but we are not trying to hold them up about something which we should argue about as it applies to our CURRENT GOVERNMENT and current lives.

For Crimne's sake the WORDS "3/5th of a person" are still there with a little scratchy line TO THIS DAY.

We are, even now, having the SAME FUCKING STUPID ARGUEMENT about the meaning of the god damned second amendment while we collectively still stand in the entrails and blood of our children.   We have been having this bloody fucking argument for 20 FUCKING YEARS.

The US Constitution  is DONE.  It HAS NO STANDING.  No Moral Standing.  No legal standing.  No functional standing.  IT IS A NONSTARTER.

If you are arguing about the 2nd amendment, you are LOSING.

Now, for those who truly give a fuck (ie likely no one) let's break this down more.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

We - Nope.  Those guys.  In the past.  Ratified 1776+.   Not "We" at all any more

People - This country represents the .001%.  This is an oligarchy.

United States - Not United.  Red States are punishing Blue States in a terroristic fashion.

Perfect Union - Uuuuuum.....No.

Establish Justice - HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA.  I don't fucking think so.


Ensure Domestic Tranquility - Nope.

Provide for the Common Defense - Nope.

Promote the General Welfare - Nope.

Secure the Blessings of Liberty for Our Posterity - Nope.

Oh how else hast thou failed? Let me count the ways.

Better,  let someone else do it.

How about that 9th amendment? Ignored.

How about the 10th Amendment? The one that gives all rights to the people not mentioned? Like these rights?

FAIL. FAIL. FAIL.

The United States Constitution is a piece of trash.  A non starter.

Some things are still useful on Daily Filth but why check it?

This diary is a brilliant memetic compilation.

Why, given that I called this website a festering pile of shit, would I still monitor it?

Because I keep hoping someone somewhere will do something that is going to work.  Daily Kos is great at organizing; it always has been.  It helped Occupy and helped get out word about it.  But Daily Kos is not occupy.  Daily Kos conveniently forgot when Obama crushed Occupy; Daily Kos works for HRC and the DNC.

Make no mistake, they do not try to hide this....

"More and 'better' democrats"

Those Democrats are HRC.

This Russian hack thing is important...its a viable method of attack, but they are also unwilling to admit their arrogance.  This is ALL ABOUT their arrogance.  Its why they lost.  Shouting down their opponents, but the nazi sympathizers in the American West, South East, South West and Mid West; and the actual people who simply didn't want HRC to be president.

Nature abhors a vacuum, and is there anything more vacuous than Trump?

Daily Kos is likely to fail; and likely to be crushed, because while they can organize, they are lost in their own self deprivation and lies.  The core of the resistance has to have the moral strength to retain its own identity and message and still be capable of embracing anyone and everyone that might work with it.

Daily Kos is exactly the opposite.  It insists that only the HRC version of freedom is the only one we get to have...and anyone else who doesn't accept that is a racist, classist, sexist pig.  But even if you don't believe that, look at how they treat new comers.  Any organization that does that, that insists on COMPLIANCE on joining, that crushes anyone who doesn't agree with them (yes, there are dissenting voices but only those who were COMPLIANT for a number of years and proved they were not 'sock puppets') cannot succeed, it cannot lead.

Bernie opened up to anyone who wanted to work with him.

HRC said that only those who wanted to go her way could be part of her 'big tent.'

You know where else they use big tents?

Exterminators in a house.

Big alliances are fine, but if you get so big you stand for nothing you're better off with a bunch of smaller tents; that's an army, not a fumigation.

The Festering Pile of Shit that is Daily Kos

So there's this wonderful shit fest on Daily Kos.

So in some ways these filthy animals are right in that I'm not 'new', but I'm not some daily #gamergate troll who logs on a new account every five minutes.  No, I'm not because I QUIT this festering shit fest three years ago because Kos refused to control it.

It is absolutely routine to have a mob of people crowd the diary of someone they don't like and dog pile them into leaving.  Was I harsh on entry? Sure. But these assholes act like they don't do the same thing.  I should know, I read their pathetic site every day, because its the CLOSEST THING TO HOPE WE HAVE.

This pathetic HRC leaning pile of shit is it.  No one has managed to organize ANYTHING even close to a progressive website or a reality based community in as many years as I have been desperately waiting for something else to come along.

So this maggot infested skull fuck of a website is going to bring America together? I've seen them do this dog pile to people that were infinitely more polite than I was, so how in the HELL are they going to unite anyone? Daily Kos needs to go down in fire and flames, but there is NOTHING to replace it.

If anyone else out there has an idea, I'd love to hear it.

[Phil] Reality, Left Reality, Right Reality

Once upon a time there was a Left Reality. People in the Right Reality believe that there is a Left Reality still, but except for a few environmentalist whackos, the Left Reality largely died with the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, those of us living in plain old Reality Reality are scared of the Right Reality.

What's all that gibberish about?

What is Reality? Descartes goes to great lengths trying to posit it out. Science has revealed horrifically complicated things about what makes the world work, most of which are simply beyond anything but the most basic comprehension by the common man. Our brains are a series of electrical impulses that convey light to a consciousness that operates in different modes depending on the biochemical balance of our bodies, largely modulated by what we eat, think and do? We are trapped in fleshy prisons with limited senses that are often fooled and deceived by the world around us.

On top of that we not only dream but daydream of realities other than that which we observe, fantasies and flights of fancy of worlds which we only sense (most of us) with faded senses but see clearly or hazily through the mind's eye. A few of us are blessed (or cursed) with the ability to see these dreamverses as vividly as the rest of us see the Reality Reality.

Furthermore, social perception and peer pressure can force us to make something real, even when we might never perceive something as such on our own. If someone was raised in a box...would they really consider small green pieces of paper as valuable? And yet because of our shared lore and history, we have artificial constructs in civilization that are practical real to the point of truly objective reality because of the consistency of their effect.

Still, with all the flaws we have in our ability to perceive the world around us, we do generally acknowledge the reality we wake up in in the morning as the one that is there. It is the one that says you need to brush your teeth in the morning or you're going to get cavities. You need to pay your cable bill or it will get shut down. Still, because of modern technology and science, the observable simple reality has become complex....we rely and trust on specialists to determine how much we really know.

I don't know that Quantum physics is real, but I do know that guys who say it is real talk to other guys who know how to Make Stuff, and those guys have made some amazing advances in electronics that do things that I can see work really well. So I'm pretty inclined to believe the guys who say Quantum Physics is real.

However, I also am able to observe guys who make a lot of money by owning a lot of Stuff, and who have a vested interest in acquiring Stuff, and who hire a lot of people who I know are good at manipulating and adjusting human or mob attitudes into discrediting some scientists because they want more Stuff.

I might not KNOW everything all the scientists know, but I do know that the scientists produce stuff that I can see and experience with a pretty regular basis.

I also know that scientists have reported and continue to report things that People Who Make Their Living Selling Religion find objectionable because it makes it harder for them to sell their religion. And for a hundred years (if I can believe the history books, which I do because I've now lived a good chunk of it, and Historians also respect Scientists for the most part and they both have Peer Review which they say works pretty good) the People Who make Their Living Selling Religion have been attacking Scientists any way they can until they started questioning the very institutions of science itself.

I also know that there is a political alliance between People Who Make Their Living Selling Religion and People Who Want To Acquire Ungodly Amounts of Stuff. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out then, that both of these people have a vested reason to attack Science and therefore I should take anything that they say with a grain of salt. People Who Make Their Living Selling Religion can provide a product that makes me feel good, but it only works some of the time at solving other problems like if I'm in pain. Science doesn't work all the time but it works more than People Who Make Their Living Selling Religion.

Also note that there is a difference between Religious, Spiritual and People Who Make Their Living Selling Religion. That's a topic for another discussion.

So once, in the Soviet Union, Stalin in all his wisdom said that Trofim Lysenko was right. Lysenko didn't believe in the Scientific Method. In fact he had those pesky Scientists Burned a

Shitler is coming for your Internet

The evidence is compiling.  Everyone who is not a Deplorable knows that Shitler is the ultimate statist.  The Internet Archive is making a Canadian copy..."just in case."

Now is the Time for All Good Men

Reactivating this given our recent electorial turn.

More to come.
