If your aim is to stay precarious, proud and precarious, then stay your course. If your aim is to stay loud and proud within a mindless crowd and be precarious ...then stay your course. Otherwise, consider the following: An obvious reason is usually better than a meticulously abstracted excuse. Why do we live with the threat of terrorism? "We terrorize them" is a safer guess (though far less satisfying) than the more popular, "they hate freedom". Which is more likely: "They resent our terroris...
There is a poisonous pendulum, swinging by myths of dichotomy and zero-sum. It will swing forever, unless those favored - WHILE favored - choose to end the pendulum. As long as sexist, hypocritical women are allowed to be sexist and hypocritical, when pretending to fight for "equality", harmony is impossible. As long as sexist, hypocritical women are allowed to vilify "men" for what "some men" do, harmony is impossible. As long as sexist, hypocritical women are allowed to justify womens violen...
'Poisoning the well' is a term used to describe when a person or idea is doubted before even understood. 'Poisoning the well' creates an atmosphere of prejudice where premature distrust poisons opposing views. We can certainly agree that there is no 'freedom of speech' if the mandates of controlled-media drown the voices of opposing ideas. Equally, there is no 'freedom of speech' if the thunder of controlled-media 'poisons the wells', making critical-thought on the matter all but impossible. I...
The point of a jester is to help you 'let off some steam' and make you laugh when you should be thinking. When a jester help you 'let off steam' that addressing the symptom: the water is no less hot. The steam is just a symptom. Professional athletes are jesters. Social-commentators are jesters. The Jon Stewarts, Bill Mahers, and O'reilys of the world - they are jesters. Fox news are jesters. The half-assed opponents of Fox news who pretend that Fox news are THE problem, they are jesters. The ...
In a land of feast and famine, the faithful drive past homeless people on their way to worship Jesus. In a land of feast and famine, atheists conveniently decry the crusades of centuries past, ignoring modern-day atrocities in China and elsewhere. In a land of feast and famine, "murder" is relative. In a land of feast and famine, many fight for the right of the slave-class to self-regulate eugenics. Mandates are masked as choices, and the murder of your relatives is "family planning", in a lan...
What could go wrong praying to the Gods of Algebra? I pray, now, to the Algebraic Gods and they tell me that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So I claim that the gangs in Moscow and the tyrants of China are now on the side of justice, then they give me their poisoned blessing when I threaten to destroy Iran. What can go wrong saying "the international community expects...", when you mean "we, the tyrants of the land, demand..."? What could go wrong celebrating that the corrupt figurehead-sc...
If this makes you hate me, it is only because you are a drop of arrogance in an ocean of idiocy. Women do not deserve rights, when men have only expectations. Women do not deserve freedom, when men are chained to pave the way. Women should not have a right to abortion, in a society that jails "deadbeat dads". If she has the right to kill, he should have the right to abandon. AKA: if she has a "right to choose", then he should have a "right to choose". This only sounds crazy to those who have a...
Just when you thought that you found a fool-proof way to justify your hate, (or should I say your confusion and fear that you mask as hate), you learn that the term "white-trash", like your precious "n-word" originated during slavery to divide and conquer. We will call the light ones "white-trash", and call the dark ones "niggers", and they will fight their whole lives from the scraps from our tables. We will call the light ones "white-trash", and call the dark ones "niggers", and they will co...
Weakness masquerading as kindness predictably leads to kindness being mistaken for weakness. Passive-aggression masquerading as politeness predictably leads to over-reaction, a neurotic frenzy. Weakness is not kindness. www.RussLindquist.info
On the first day without self-hate, so much of the world will change. Plenty billionaires will be ruined, and millions of jobs will be lost, on the first day without self-hate... But these are billionaires who deserve to be ruined and jobs that should not be. On the first day without self-hate, so much of the world will change: Plenty billionaires will be ruined, and millions of jobs will be lost, on the first day without self-hate... Without self-hate, no woman will hate her face, so no woman...
