Reminds me of fifty-odd years ago.
While one group of people were aiming for the stars,
a bunch of others were trying to overthrow what little
Western Civilization had accomplished so far.
Now, as then… pick a side

New Memo™

Evidently, racism is no longer merely an
environmental/global-warming issue

MASK NOTES:
• The white mask & trousers are used so we err on the side of assuming
white-male privilege, thereby enforcing counter-productivity
• There’s room to add a sticker for preferred pronouns plus some kind
of serial number to compensate for the lack of traditional visual cues

Another woke buffoon playing with a dangerous thing
he’s unlikely to have used before [insert virginity joke, here].
You know, one of that mass of clueless people who think
that because it’s a woker-than-thou doin’ it, it’ll work.
It’s some kind’a select-enlightened-elitist, master-race delusion.

When jackasses like this claim to know how the World should be run,
you may safely ignore their ideas

You could put somebody’s eye out

…

A story of intellectual growth:

At the time, I was 20 years old, self-righteous and half-erudite (which is worse than being illiterate).
…
I regarded moral order, beauty, human nature, even truth itself as the impositions of power — specifically white, male, “heteronormative,” colonialist power.
…
The right thing to do, then, was to question or “subvert” the Western canon and to disrupt the oppressive structures baked into language itself.
…

Thanks to those kids and their parents, I matured intellectually.
…
The position that minority children deserve to wallow in classroom disorder or incorrect English is itself downright racist.

Some thoughts sent to me by a pal for your consideration… Interesting what people send around these daze, eh?

It’s not about coronavirus masks or BLM protests, it’s about 2020 being an election year. Plain & simple.

In 4 months, the U.S. transformed into an obedient socialist country. Government dictated what events are acceptable to attend. Violent protests that instill fear are OK but church services, family funerals and patriotic celebrations are dangerous. And you bought it without a fight.

Standing in a graduation line is a “safety hazard”. Small businesses were forced to close but crowds to support the corporate money machine at WalMart, Lowes and Home Depot are OK.

Come on. It’s “just a mask” & “safety precautions”.

How about a little hush money. Here’s $2,400 that we stole out of your pay check in the first place. Enjoy. Buy something with it. From a big corporation.

Cash is dirty. We can’t give change. There’s a coin shortage. Use your card. In 4 months, they convinced you to use a traceable card for everything.

In less than 4 months, government closed public schools then “restructured” education under the guise of “public safety”. In less than 4 months, our government demonstrated how easily people assimilate to “guidelines” that have NO scientific premise whatsoever when you are fearful.

In less than 4 months, our government successfully instilled fear in a majority of the population in America that allows them to control every aspect of your life. Including what you eat, where you go, who you see and your toilet paper.

And the most dangerous and terrifying part? People are not afraid of the government who removed their freedom. They’re afraid of their neighbors, family and friends.

And they hate those who won’t comply.

It’s absolutely terrifying to me that so many people don’t question “authority”. They are willing to surrender their critical thinking skills and independence. They just… gave up without thinking. Without a fight.

Do you know what’s coming next?
“It’s just a vaccine. Come on. It’s for the greater good”.

Wait until you’re told that you can’t enter any store or business without proof of the Covid-19 vaccine. Wait until you can’t go to public events or get on a plane without proof of receiving the vaccine.

To everyone that doesn’t believe this is possible – DO YOU UNDERSTAND that government successfully dictated to people WHEN they were allowed to be outside, where they were allowed to go, and how their children would be educated in less than 4 months? And that a majority of the population followed blindly because they were told to do so.

You’re kidding yourself if you think this behavior won’t be repeated with a vaccine. Or whatever the next step is.

“I don’t follow politics.”
“Who cares about that stuff?”
“I don’t like to think about it.”
6 million Jews were exterminated in Germany because 97% of the population cowered to populist control. Nobody wanted to think about it. It’s easier to just ignore it.

But that couldn’t happen here, right?

They got you. Without a thought. Without a fight. Just like France. Just like Russia. Just like China. Welcome, comrade.
