“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

Virtue Signalling & PC Locks in Cultural Antagonisms
An Exchange of Obscenities Opens the Way Out... through an expression of bilateral fallibility
Doesn't that really mean "HYPOCRITICAL, SELF-RIGHTEOUS PUBLIC POSTURING evincing MINDLESS CONFORMITY to LEFTIST brands of GROUPTHINK?"
Let's not try to TALK it to death. It needs to be STOMPED, BLUDGEONED, KICKED, and DRAGGED by chains attached to HEAVY TRUCKS over THORNY, ROCK-STREWN GROUND, BAYONETTED and RIDDLED WTH BULLETS till the soil is SOAKED inthe BLOOD of gthese FUCKING BASTARDS.
It will take Latter Day VLAD the IMPALER to rid us of this insidious vicious menace –– and even then the relief is still bound to be temporary.
I'm in the process of getting all my children, nieces and nephews to block me on Facebook. I refuse to acquiesce to the MSM consensus that everyone who was at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville was there to espouse racist ideology. None were there to honour their Confederate ancestors who's statues were being torn down. In other word's there were no "good people" on the Right, they were all "bad actors" (aka NAZIs). My son insists that he has to block me because he can't afford for his friends to see him associated with me...
The Left enacts Objective Systemic "Symbolic violence" on Southern conservatives by ordering the dismantling of a Confederate Symbol in a public park. The Alt-Right responds by enacting Objective "symbolic violence" on the local community and politicians via a "peaceful march". The Left counters with "Subjective (personal) violence" using ANTIFA to attack the marchers (punch Nazi's in the face). The Right responds with subjective violence driving a car into ANTIFA counter-protestors (illegal/un-permitted).
When does the violence stop? When the Left stops circumventing the "System" to get their way.
Meanwhile, in Baltimore they tear down four Southern monuments in the dead of night. The following night in Annapolis, a Republican (Establishment) Governor allows a tearing down a monument outside the State House to SCOTUS justice Taney.
All of these are forms of Systemic "Objective/Symbolic" violence which were done rapidly and in the dark to prevent the Right from retaliating with System "Objective/Symbolic" violence of their own (protest marches). Each represents an action that can only lead to "Divine violence"... riots/revolution, as the violence done is one-sided.
Words, words, words! I'm so sick of words We get words all day through First from Them, now from you –– Is that all you wussess can do?
Don't favor talk with dignity It’s Them you must balk, VICTORY! Tell us no hope reason prevails Don’t be a dope, VICTORY!
Here we are together in the middle of a war Don't purse your lips, it’s such a bore. Anyone who's threatened with attack ___ would tell you that There is no time for a chat!
Doesn't your soul long for a win? That is no sin, Kill Them. Don't talk of peace lasting through time Utter instead this harsh vow: Kill Them NOW!
Don’t say your prayers, waste no more time More talk’s a crime, KILL Them! Stop being nice, don’t give advice Talk is a vice! KILL Them!
No more do we want to see or hear another word There isn't ONE, we haven't heard. While we’re here together ___ we should make a battle plan Shut your damned mouth, ___ be a MAN.
Let’s use our arms, lay down some mines. Please don't draw lines, KILL Them! KILL Them! Don't wait until our blessed Coast Burns down fulfilling Their boast. Make Them TOAST!
Death is preferable to living under the rule of tyrants, bullies, and idiots.
The Left hs been busily transforming our once free country into virtual CONCENTRATION CAMP since long before we were born.
The Left has even succeeded in turning your own CHILDREN against you. What a bitter pill that must be to have to swallow, even though your name is Legion! This particular brand of misery takes no pleasure in companionship.
Because of the Left we are all at each other's throats. I believe I know why, but it does no good, because no one wants to believe me –– so hypnotized, seduced, possessed and disoriented have we become by Evil.
___________ CONCERT ___________
I see the bright flash of splintering glass And the moaning whine of a great turbine Tortures my ears.
A thousand bullets tear through the air Each finding its mark in the heart Of each expectant listener
And through the ensuing rendng pain I hear this new and mean refrain
What once was sweet has turned to gall And strength is merely to appall The congregation in the concert hall.
Humor is lead. Tenderness dead, And all sense of stylei s dissolved in a bile Whose bitterness cannot be said, But can only be felt
In the crash of the Beat at monotonous speed Which prompts only the question Where will this lead?
~ FreeThinke (1962)
That hideous vision came upon me more than fifty-five years ago. In the intervening period we have found out where it led, and no one likes it, yet we have been rendered impotent –– devoid of hope that we might help one another escape from the maze of thorn bushes into which we've been led by the Pied Pipers of Perdition.
Wasn't it Patrick Henry who first popularized that idea, Joe?
I believe it was.
"Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
~ Patrick Henry (1736 -1799)
So we may take comfort knoung we are in good company. ;-)

ReplyDeleteYep. FACEBOOK is the virtue signally "platform" of choice. It's a place where every marriage is perfect, and every meal gets five stars...

"Politics" is the art of inflicting Objective/Symbolic violence upon you political foes.
ReplyDeletePC-Virtue Signalling is an attempt to extend and enforce systemic objective symbolic violence upon the social sphere.
