Behold, for the day of reckoning has come upon us. The followers of Bernard have sinned greatly, and the Christ god has seen them for what they are. They will be pursued to all corners of the earth. Their warriors will be destroyed. Their women dashed to pieces. Among their children, none shall remain, leaving none to tell their story. It is divine will that they shall be stricken from this land, and it is we who have been chosen to exact God's vengeance, for they have spit in the face of God and the market. And now, onward, Christian soldiers. Do not fear death, but fear God, for only salvation awaits you in the land of the heretic.

Based on the body language that McConnell and Ryan have been showing during this I am leaning heavily towards the both of them being on the Russian payroll as well. I have spent a great deal of time around corrupt sociopaths and have been involved as a part of the inside circle when a conspiracy broke down. To me Ryan's and McConnell's body language hearkens back to my days inside cults involved with criminal conspiracies. Ryan is going the path of complete outward (and probably inwards as well) denial of the severity of the threat he faces. McConnell looks to me like a coward contemplating their upcoming date with their personal Kobayashi Maru and feeling nothing but seething cold fury that their schemes are being undone because of someone else's incompetence.

nigga crab pollock posted:

the gender bullshit is a tough sell because its attempting to strip existing language of old meanings and redefine them so they they can no longer be used in a way that contradicts their propelling ideology. the gays were always just trying to suck some dick without anyone giving too much of a poo poo

that branch of idpol is straight up social engineering in the most basal form. while separating sex and gender is a useful concept, within the context of modern identity politics the separation is attempting to change the language as to not cause friction with even the most extreme of trans activists. all of the skeleton warriors on twitter saying a 👏 penis 👏 is 👏 a 👏 feminine 👏organ 👏 or 👏 bruce 👏 jenner 👏 was 👏 never 👏 a 👏 man 👏 aren't just saying contradictory nonsense. it is an effort, consious or not, to strip subtle and indirect meanings of those words and prevent them from being used to assert something that goes against that ideology anymore
