John Galt is Coming!

 

Nick Lopez, "Don't fall for another Jan. 6–style trap!"
President Trump has stated that he will be arrested on Tuesday and we should all take to the streets.

Don't do it!

Stay home, and let the lawyers handle it.

This is a set-up, just like January 6. Don't fall for it.

Don't go anywhere near a federal building, don't stand with groups of people you don't know, and don't send threatening emails.

Stay home, and let the lawyers deal with it. President Trump has good lawyers, he has great lawyers...he even has had Alan Dershowitz as a lawyer.

Trials are meant to be won, by rich people. President Trump is rich. Let him fight his battle. He has proven more than capable.

It's okay to be angry about things. And we are supposed to have the right to protest peacefully. However, they will sabotage that right. They will inject fake bad actors for the express purpose of charging you with a crime.

This will be an attempted Charlottesville and January 6 mass-arrest false flag operation.

Sometimes the best response is no response at all.

If we must respond, then let it be this: call in sick to work, go home, turn off the TV and internet, and pray with your family. Don't order anything, don't buy anything, don't watch anything. Turn off all your streaming services.

If half the country does absolutely nothing for a week, they will have to notice and deal with the fallout — especially if the people calling in sick are the truckers, the miners, the oil rig roughnecks, the firemen, and the police. You know, the conservatives!

If it's not possible for you to take a sick week, then go slow at work. Even that action can have an effect.

But putting yourself in jeopardy isn't going to help anyone. Your government has gone totalitarian. Be mindful of that as events unfold. Because President Trump is not in a position to help the January 6 political prisoners, and he won't be able to help you.

Anarcho-libertarian creed? ;)

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Well, when a society collapses you can rebuild it with either religion ala Islamic Courts Union... or via secular society ala anarcho-capitalism.

Which would you choose?

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

The problem with the anarcho-capitalism solution is that it requires a protective force to keep the "warlords" from usurping the riches of the anarcho-capitalists. So these anarcho-capitalists must be bound through ties to their own militias (as in American colonial times).

Multiculturalism isn't one of my "ideals". Freedom/ Liberty for a diversity of "thought" is, not a diversity of targetted-advertisement-based identity labels. To the extent that people of different thought express their support for Ukraine, I applaud them. But I'm sure that I could find a similarly diverse group of people in the Donbass who would oppose NATO support for Ukraine.

Wrapped in her beauty, everywhere, she is welcome

And they come alive, with a desire to protect her
Nothing can interfere with a dream of dreams so near
And when she caught my eye, we were those for whom the rules do not apply.

So don't look down, one false move is all it takes.

I think Aristophane's "THE ECCLESIAZUSAE" or Women In Council, already answered that question.

The main part of the comedy deals with the many amusing difficulties that arise inevitably from this new state of affairs, the community of women above all necessitating special safeguarding clauses to secure the rights of the less attractive members of the sex to the service of the younger and handsomer men. Community of goods again, private property being abolished, calls for a regulation whereby all citizens are to dine at the public expense in the various public halls of the city, the particular place of each being determined by lot; and the drama winds up with one of these feasts, the elaborate menu of which is given in burlesque, and with the jubilations of the women over their triumph.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...as for what the laws allow... would the presence or absence of a Divinity make any difference?

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

excerpt from Zizek's "Defenders of the Faith"...

More than a century ago, in "The Brothers Karamazov" and other works, Dostoyevsky warned against the dangers of godless moral nihilism, arguing in essence that if God doesn't exist, then everything is permitted. The French philosopher André Glucksmann even applied Dostoyevsky's critique of godless nihilism to 9/11, as the title of his book, "Dostoyevsky in Manhattan," suggests.

This argument couldn't have been more wrong: the lesson of today's terrorism is that if God exists, then everything, including blowing up thousands of innocent bystanders, is permitted -- at least to those who claim to act directly on behalf of God, since, clearly, a direct link to God justifies the violation of any merely human constraints and considerations. In short, fundamentalists have become no different than the "godless" Stalinist Communists, to whom everything was permitted since they perceived themselves as direct instruments of their divinity, the Historical Necessity of Progress Toward Communism.

During the Seventh Crusade, led by St. Louis, Yves le Breton reported how he once encountered an old woman who wandered down the street with a dish full of fire in her right hand and a bowl full of water in her left hand. Asked why she carried the two bowls, she answered that with the fire she would burn up Paradise until nothing remained of it, and with the water she would put out the fires of Hell until nothing remained of them: "Because I want no one to do good in order to receive the reward of Paradise, or from fear of Hell; but solely out of love for God." Today, this properly Christian ethical stance survives mostly in atheism.

Fundamentalists do what they perceive as good deeds in order to fulfill God's will and to earn salvation; atheists do them simply because it is the right thing to do. Is this also not our most elementary experience of morality? When I do a good deed, I do so not with an eye toward gaining God's favor; I do it because if I did not, I could not look at myself in the mirror. A moral deed is by definition its own reward. David Hume, a believer, made this point in a very poignant way, when he wrote that the only way to show true respect for God is to act morally while ignoring God's existence.


Secular ideological fundamentalism is everywhere today. Just look at Dervy.

When ideology exists, everything is permitted. Even a so-called 'Democrat' cheating in an election (provided it yields the desired electoral result).

No, Hanlon's razor isn't it. If it were, he'd be "educable". But Dervy thinks that he both "knows something" and that "he's being moral." And that is a sure symptom of a secular neo-liberal progressive ideology. The ideological "blindness" of the "New Left" (as in the blinding of Oedipus after discovering that Jocosta was his mother, "Oedipus at Colonus").
