Gibby's Friends Are Showing Their True Colors

[ICRockets2]

Doesn't get much more explicit than this.

1. Nice try, but I have condemned these fuckers for this and a lot of other terrible shit on here plenty of times

2. I haven't voted for a Republican in this state since my first election in 2002. 

3. Just because I don't vote neoliberal dumbocrap does not mean I vote Republican.  Nice attempt at a false dichotomy & Nice try to smear me, but not accurate at all

LOL!

Nothing funnier than a center right American Democrat warmonger, such as yourself, insisting that an anti-war left-libertarian Canadian is somehow to the right of them.

Utterly fucking delusional.

That's a nice fallacy you got.  Poor bastard, you wanted a big phallus and got a fallacy instead.

The shitlibs have lost their fucking minds to the point where they feel ANY tactic, whether scummy or not, is justified because because they're more virtuous than anyone else.

Now the big smear is being used against Russell Brand.

These people should be ashamed of themselves, but as we've witnessed here, the shitlibs have no shame because they've convinced themselves the crisis is sooooooo severe that EVERY TACTIC is on the table, no matter how underhanded.

Why don’t you take your dementia medicine and then get back to us when you have a firm grasp on the difference between left, right, center, progressive, liberal, moderate

Oh, of course this is a big smear job. There’s no way he could’ve actually done what he’s being accused of. Why would a hero of the conservative conspiracy theory morons ever do some thing like that?

He's talking about mick, who is a center-right Democrat.

He's too openly contemptuous of the left to qualify as center-left.

So the thing about the state senator who is running for governor and his other buddy who is also a state senator but is not running for governor, is that besides being aficionados of flamethrowers and of fantasizing about burning “woke” books on the lawn of the governor’s mansion, they are also Republicans, which is a political party in the United States of America.

And one interesting thing about the Republican party is, it is entirely captured by fascism, that is to say it is a popular political movement organized around a cult of personality, and mediated through an open and explicit reverence for violence as a redeeming force, and by a nationalist myth of purification.

Another interesting thing about the Republican Party is that it is entirely driven by its country’s dominant founding spirit of supremacy. Supremacy, in case you didn’t know, is the belief that some people matter and others don’t, and that those who don’t matter should be forced to conform to the comfort of those who dot matter, and if they won’t conform then they should be punished and terrorized and eliminated, and if they do conform then they should be maintained at minimum possible expense and used for profit for as long as they are profitable, and then abandoned if they are not.

And the United States was founded by people who believed in a very popular and fairly recent invention called “white.” This invention allowed them to believed that Black people were subordinate to people who were “white,” which allowed them to own Black people, and to rape them, and torture them and kill them, too, in case you didn’t know.

When I say things like this, I’m often admonished for being divisive or polarized. There is often a bit of blowback about how by framing our current situation as a fight against fascism and supremacy in the same spirit that created an entrenched permission structure for chattel slavery and other genocides, I’m casting myself as a superior moral authority who refuses to find common ground; or how by framing my opponents as supremacists I’m demonizing them, which makes me just as bad as them; or that I’m just preaching to the choir in an echo chamber because I’m not getting to really know them and understand their points and appeal to their better angels; or that I’m casting them as irredeemable, leaving them no exit ramps from radicalization and even driving them toward resentful radicalization; or that by refusing to engage them on their terms and debate them I’m passing up a real opportunity to persuade them, which is what’s necessary to drive real change.

I’ve been working my way, point-through point, through these critiques based in a belief that persuasion of supremacists is all-important in dealing with supremacy, and talking about the assumptions and flaws I see in each one. Go search the archives for all that amazing content if you like.

But now it also occurs to me that, for those who think that the most important thing in the world is persuasion, I have good news: persuasion has been happening all along.

Lovers of persuasion: rejoice!

I didn’t used to believe that the conservative spirit was irreducible from supremacy, or that supremacy was the dominant spirit of my country. I would have considered that ridiculous. I believed very firmly in the popular modern supremacist myth that supremacy had been defeated forever, mostly by white people who fixed a handful of significant flaws to the otherwise perfect system they had inherited, and that we were now as a result the Greatest Country In the World.

And I didn’t used to believe that the Republican Party was a fascist party. I really didn’t.

I do believe those things now, though.

I was persuaded.

You might wonder, who persuaded me?

Look ICR, I can't tell you how much I despise these people.  Sadly the good old boys have so fucked up this state that outside of KC (mostly Jackson County), St Louis (city and county) and Columbia you don't have anything but GOPers.  What the fuck can I do? How do you think I feel about living in a state the NAACP has a travel advisory on? How do you think I feel that the Klan is active not sixty miles from Kansas City?

The politics in this state are just fucking evil, but what the fuck can I do? I can vote and I do.  However, outside the above mentioned metroes this state is deep red so our votes don't mean a whole fucking lot.  I know the GOP around this state are sick.  You hear white kids using the N word daily as close as Platte and Clay County, what the fuck am I supposed to do about it? You have an asshole in St Louis who said raped women can't get pregnant and that bastard still almost won.  What the fuck do you want me to do? 

We have idiot Josh Hawley, again what the hell can I do? You want me to run for office or something? Yeah, you know how we all say in Russia and Ukraine its not healthy being in opposition politics? Its not in this state either.  Several politicians in this state have met with very mysterious deaths since the early 70s.  Three who come to mind are a black community organizer killed by the mob, or so its said but it wasn't a mob hit it was politically motivated.  1976 and 2000 a prominant Republican and Democratic candidate respectively died in plane crashes.  Sorry, that just looks very suspicous. What the fuck do you want me to do about it?

The only thing you can.  Vote for Democrats and do your best to convince everyone you're capable of convincing to do the same.
