At a conference for young conservatives in Arizona Sunday, US President-elect Donald Trump said the official policy of his upcoming administration would be the recognition of only two genders, male and…
It really shouldn’t be. Yes we’ve been raised on slasher cinema in which madness justified the bogey man’s capacity to kill in grisly or creative ways, but in reality victims of mental illness who are dangerous are extremely rare, and most of us are more likely to get gunned down by law enforcement for failure to understand conflicting orders.
Curiously, the precursor to slashers, the whodunnit presupposed that anyone could kill if motivated enough to do so. In reality about 20% of soldiers make around 80% of the kills, with the remaining troopers unable to do so, even when faced with a mortal threat. In the old days, such soldiers were branded or executed for cowardice. Modern armies move them into the immense supply line that keeps our front lines running.
These days, politicians discrediting lunatics are the same ones that can’t tell the difference between trans folk, drag queens and furries, and are simply capitalizing on fear and hatred for social media likes. Whilst unfortunately, they are seizing power from more reasonable candidates, they will just as quickly target the sane when it suits them, based on race, religion, counter-culture or even the inability to keep up with labor requirements while malnourished.
Before NSDAP came for the communists, socialists and trade unionists, they cleaned out the crazies, including the gays and trans folk. Ultimately they would feed everyone to the fire if the Allies didnt overrun Berlin.
Just a correction: the NSDAP first went for internal political oppositors Night of the Long Knives, what in modern US they’re calling “RINO” Republican In Name Only… I’ve already seen literal calls to kill them! (on X)
The new poem might as well go like “First they came for the RINO, but I wasn’t even Republican and didn’t like them anyway…”
Lunacy
Awoo.
