Soph0571's JournalThat this sits within the bounds of credulity tells us all we need to know about the Trumpers
This is not really real but it really could be real... cause cult and hypocrisy abound.
And they were even talking about republican Jesus...
It is a slippery slope to the horror show...
At the end of Eichmann's trial in 1962 the producer of the televised trial had this to say:
Oh look the religious right has sooooo much in common with where Eichmann stood. It is a slippery slope to the horror show that was Germany in the 30's 40's, and Trump and his enabling cabal of far right nasty is normalising the othering that is going on...
Nazi be nazi... and to be fair half of them probably think this comparison is a compliment.
'One nation conservatism' means one nation English nationalism with Boris in charge
Exactly this. They care not one jot for the Union.
BREXIT goes BOOM!!!!! and the Union will follow
it's not like they did anything really disrespectful and offensive like kneel during a song...
Talk about slap you round the face white male privilege. Racist little wankers
Heh. But it is all good cause white 'power' bollocks is really really funny...
The Religious Right Stealing Subjugating Strategies since at least 250 BC
The oldest playbook in the world!
All religions are examples of socially responsive creations, rather than a creator creating them. They reflect the makeup of any given society at any given time, they do things that society wants them to do...
Theocracies (and wannabee theocracies aka the religious right) are merely dictatorships with an invisible immortal ruler who cannot be removed and must be obeyed. And therein lies the problem, the God (s) created by man is the ideal tool for anyone wanting to exert political power within a social construct and they have been playing the same game for millennia!!!
Sitting in a meeting with a Peer in the House of Lords in 2015... he said something very scary indeed
Just after the 2015 election, I was in a meeting with a Lord. It was about the impact of a new Tory policy on my industry, that was going to have the inevitable negative impact on social mobility. Cause Tories. We were discussing how we could possibly try and influence/change this new strategy with the Secretary of State and the Minister involved. This is what the (Conservative) Peer said (I am of course paraphrasing):
‘Don’t waste your time. They will not listen to you or to me. They have a majority for this first time in years and they are Kings of the Hill. They will do what they want. They do not care for your opinions, they are irrelevant.’
That was with a one nation conservative government with a majority in small double digits.
Now we have a populist right wing government with a much greater majority than that. They will not just think they are Kings of the Hill, they will think that they are Kings of the Universe. And with no effective opposition, their right-wing ego’s will rum amuck unchecked. Oh, goody.
They will do what they want now and there is nothing to stop them. I am resigned to it. Brexit in 3…2…1…
Some inspiration...
History says, don't hopeOn this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.
So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracle
And cures and healing wells.
The Cure at Troy - Seamus Heaney
...without comment.
The shame should be all his...BUT...
Rape culture still alive and toxic as we move into a new decade... terribly disheartening.
