Land of the Free?

I may still stand for the national anthem, but I do not believe in it.  The United States is not the "land of the free and the home of the brave".  Neither are most places.  But it is particularly sad for the United States, which claims this.  American are SO SCARED of everything...willing to see freedom be destroyed for any partisan gain.  We know companies like Google ARE "being evil", despite their ironic motto saying differently.  YouTube is positively destroying free speech on its platform.  On the other side of things, President Trump is blaming "violent video games" for gun violence.  Now that's a blast from the past.  Social Justice Warriors and the Religious Right may not like each other, but they have A  LOT in common, namely, they both hate freedom.  It is the horseshoe theory, and unfortunately, in this day and age, most people are bunched up in the areas where they agree: "Freedom Is Overrated".

I just saw some list of Chinese censorship terms, and honestly speaking, I could imagine most of those in the YouTube terms of service.  Let's stop kidding ourselves.  People do not want freedom.  They want to be taken care of by companies and by their government.  Well, see how that works out for you!

Sokal-style hoaxes work for religious postmodernists, but (post) modernism is the real hoax Modernism in art and architecture, and postmodernism in philosophy are, like religion, insults to human intelligence.  Unfortunately, many people fall for their hollow propaganda. The "Sokal Affair" was a hoax whereby a man called Alan Sokal submitted a postmodern-sounding article to a postmodern journal.  It turns out that the English you hear isn't just unintelligible to you, but it's unintelligible to the people at the journal as well.  But if it's unintelligible, it must be profound, right?  The journal quickly accepted it, not knowing that it was all fake B.S.  They then got embarrassed when they were told that it was pompous-sounding drivel. Religion has done the same thing.  When people can't understand something, they generally think it's much more profound than if they can understand it.  If a priest speaks Latin, wears some weird costume, and sp...

The Islamic State has beheaded at least 21 Christians in Libya.

Whenever a Muslim brings up the Crusades, I have to laugh to myself.  Christians have done horrible things, including in later crusades against Constantinople and the Cathars in particular.  However, get this.  The Islamic State militants said, "Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for" right before butchering Egyptian Christians. It seems that many Muslims haven't taken a single history class.  If they had, they would have known that Christians existed in Egypt for 400 years before Islam.  (Heck, they were even around to murder Hypatia, perhaps the last major ancient female philosopher.)  It was the Muslims who were the "Crusaders"...yet almost nobody will admit to this.  Muslims instigated a merciless war against Christian Egyptians until they were overcome and under Islamic domination.  They did this to people across the world, from Spain to India...massacring any who resisted.  They tried to destroy the Byzaintine Em...

I Feel Used!

The Justice Department just indicted 13 Russian nationals who were caught indoctrinating the US public!  This is one of their social media posts/adverts, and I am ashamed to say that I ACTUALLY FELL FOR IT!  Those damn Russkies played me for a fool! When I saw this post, it just spoke to me in a way in which nothing else had.  I had never so clearly linked Hillary Clinton with Satan, and Donald Trump with Jesus before.  This post gave me that false impression, though.  I promptly sold my "I'm with Her" T-shirt and cleansed my body with holy water.  I held my rosary in my hand and begged forgiveness.  Then, I went to the voting booth and voted for Trump.  After all, I could not let Satan win. But now, I learn that it was Russians behind the whole thing!  Now, the evidence that Hillary Clinton was in league with the Prince of Darkness is not as water-tight as I may have believed before.  Now, I realize that I stood for everything that ...
