Keyboard Kommandos Rising Up, Going Galt...

Of all the dozens of totally mockable things about this post, my favorite is that they think it would be a good idea to identify themselves with an un-erasable tattoo, so their enemies could reliably identify them.


We now have dibs on “I told you so”– not with respect to the President or the professional left or even many in the media and academia, who have spent decades finessing history and massaging narratives and dumbing down the “masses” until they could seize this particular historical moment, to sabotage the last best hope on earth and turn it into just another socialist police state run by a permanent ruling class and its bureaucratic army (that is, them) — but with the useful idiots who they wooed and fooled and used to secure their power. And though that’s cold comfort, at least it’s something to hold onto when it all goes pear shaped. [...]

Not being surprised at the coming collapse will hopefully give us an edge.

One other thing, and I’m serious about this: consider some sort of identification, a kind of marker, that lets others of your kind know who you are and where you stand implicitly. Get over your aversion to tattoos; a small “live free or die” or “don’t tread on me” somewhere on your person might just one day save your from the zombie hordes. Hell. Use henna if you have to. If you’re into irony, maybe a yellow Star of David sewn to your suit jacket.

Because make no mistake. They’ll be coming. They have to. It’s just a matter of how long it takes before the revolution starts and the country divides into factions. The takers have now voted themselves your labor and liberty. But I suspect when it comes time to forcibly take it, that’s when the seriousness sets in. [...]

Be your own master. Smile. Knowingly. And wait.

Our time will once again come.

In a few weeks the sound from the endless loop of this in your head will begin to fade...gradually.

The people have spoken. The tantrum-throwers have been told to have a seat.

is that most of them realize that the "revolution" talk of the last 4 years, now that the time has come, was total bullshit. Therefore, most of them launched a bitter "screw America!" post, denouncing their own country and its citizens as morons and losers, and then sulked back into their chairs. Muahahaha!

sales of Cheetos and Mountain Dew.

And just tattoo "asshole" on your foreheads to make it clear.

In the words of that great philosopher Bugs Bunny, "it is to laugh."

They wont be missed and the IQ of the entire country still on the grid will be that much higher. Same morons who thought Dick Morris, Rush, Hannity, Rove and company were telling them the truth - frankly I'm surprised they remember to breathe.
