Via The Lid comes this one:
It is incredible what political simpletons Jews are. They shut their eyes to one of the most elementary rules of life that you must not “meet halfway” those who do not want to meet you.
— Ze’ev Jabotinsky
The same admonition could be applied equally to Republicans.
From Jim Treacher:
“By the time I learn enough about a breaking news story to realize I don’t care, it turns out to be bullshit anyway.”
Nowadays, I seldom bother even to learn about a “breaking” news story. I prefer to look in on it a week later, to save myself the irritation.
Note: Treacher’s words have been uncensored, because on this website, you can say what you say without fear thereof.
From Insty, writing in the NYPost:
“Generally speaking, a nation where the civilian leadership fears its citizens and has lost the nation’s confidence, and where the senior military leadership has lost the confidence of those down the chain of command, is a nation in trouble.”
In our case right now, I’d say “specifically speaking”, because that’s where we are.
This follows on from the post above.
In responding to a question about whether he had gone too far with respect to imposing a curfew (avoiding the question of why a curfew was needed when no other state had one), Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews replied: ‘It is not about human rights. It is about human life.’
Just a quick question, O Fascist Motherfucker: What kind of human life exists without rights?
Oh yeah, silly me: it’s called “slavery”, and Australian government is forcing its citizens in that direction at a rate of knots.
The Trump presidency, encapsulated:
“The economy was humming, and even after the elite’s Chi Com comrades inflicted the pangolin pandemic on us, we were coming back. We were energy independent. The border was getting secure. Taxes got cut. Soleimani was a cinder and ISIS was a skid mark. We had no new wars, and the one in Afghanistan was set to end without a live production of Miss Saigon II: We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Airbases.”– Kurt Schlicter
Also: there were no concentration camps filled with homosexuals and trannies, no right-wing death squads kicking down leftists’ doors, no bans on abortion and in general, none of the doubleplusungood things that the media socialists warned us would be the consequences of a Trump presidency.
“Fascism is the organized attempt to introduce socialist planning with the consent of big business.” – Edward Conze (1934)
So, on the Fascist scale of 0 (September 17, 1787) to 10 (Nazi Germany, 1940), where do you think we stand today?
I’d put us at 7, maybe 8.
