Don't Insult People

This seems like a good general rule.  Right?  There have got to be countless religions with tomes of theocratic wisdom thought up by very smart people or even possibly a divine being that tell you this law.  "Do unto others".

It seems like a good universal truth.  The "Golden Rule" many atheists and theists alike refer to it.  "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

This would be great if it was followed by everyone and anyone who disobeyed it was admonished accordingly.

Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Entering the realm of political discourse at a young age immediately draws scrutiny from intelligent, senior (in terms of age) peers.  I don't mind this, I think it's healthy and natural.

Interestingly, though, is that when "Senior" peers play word-games to make snarky, illogical quips to discredit the younger people they are debating with, they are shocked when the youth revolts with crude name-calling.  "NAME CALLING" *gasp*

Calling someone an idiot through pre-suading the audience with clever rhetoric is no more morally acceptable than dismissing someone's arguments by calling them retarded.

Both are wrong.  Start your arguments with some humility.  If you get slimed by bullshit, respond in kind.

Why I'm Mad that I'm Dumb - And You Probably Should be Too.

I have a decent IQ:  Above average but not close to genius.  I'm what a genius would call a mid-wit.

But I'm dumb.  And so are most of you.

Public School is useless.  Here's my anecdotal evidence.

How many useless days did you spend watching videos so you could "write down 20 facts" on a sheet that the teacher would then lazily gaze at and confirm that, indeed, you wrote down 20 things.  How many days did you spend memorizing useless bullshit that you don't remember.  I know from reading most people's posts that the HUNDREDS of hours spent literally conscripting grammar textbooks didn't do you any fucking good.

And yet, after spending 11 YEARS in school, I learned nothing about the REAL knowledge necessary to understand the outside impacts on my life.  I didn't learn personal finance.  I didn't learn corporate finance.  I didn't learn how to tell what my dollar is worth.  I didn't learn what inflation or deflation was.  I didn't learn about hot vs cold wars.  I didn't learn how our nation declares war.  I didn't learn anything about the Civil War except it was slavery vs non-slavery (bullshit).  I didn't learn anything about the tax code or Teachers Unions or corporate bailouts.

Yet, I skated through all that.  High relative IQ and I got the grades I needed to keep alive and do well enough on tests to meet societal standards.  I felt smart.

Then I met the internet.  In a real fashion, I started seeking out smarter people than me, and I realized how much I had been mislead - how stupid I was.  My teachers were not paragons of wisdom, they were idiots fed by a bloated state that is intentionally keeping people dumb and making it impossible to fire dumb teachers.

Think it's all bullshit?  Well, here's Bill Ivey, former Clinton Administration Official E-Mailing current Clinton campaign head John Podesta

"And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry"

Or, as Lupe put it -

"Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up"

You Can't Force Memes

Married couples try to show interest in their partners preferred interest.  A man, for instance, will know his wife's favorite singer on X-factor.  A woman, for instance, will know her Husbands' favorite team in football.  They don't REALLY know that Celo was a fantastic artist or that Devin Hester holds the world record for touchdowns scored on kick-off and punt returns.  They just have a vague idea of where their spouse is mentally.

That's kind of how America is.  Politics and political decisions that effect all of us are really just an after-thought to most people.  I don't begrudge them, it's easy to see it as boring.

But now we're in the final stages.  Celo has his last chance at making his girl a star and Devin is in the Super-Bowl ready to run it in for a win - The spouse is paying attention.

So now that you're paying attention, I have some HILARIOUS shit to share with you.

Most millenials don't watch TV like their parents did.  Most news is preferred over text, that is, social media.  Donald had a HUGE following on social media sites.  Bernie did too.  Take a look at www.reddit.com/r/the_donald and compare it to www.reddit.com/Hillary_clinton

It's no contest.  That's a problem for Hillary Clinton.  We produce thousands of memes a day and we're influencing people with those memes.

Hilldawg (as she will henceforth be known) needs an opposition to the meme warfare.

So she hired them.  Literally.  There's a bunch of people in their cubicles typing away trying to out-meme Trump supporters.

They're called "Correct The Record" (much Orwellian, jeez).

They are literally paid to out-meme Trump Supporters.

Today, hilariously, a group called Wikileaks (Notorious group that leaks classified/secret/hidden documents to the public) released a batch of emails from the Hilldawg campaign.  Among those emails was this tidbit describing the people that make up Correct The Record team:

"Correct the Record’s staff (18 and counting) is crammed into a newsroom-style bullpen in the back corner of the offices of American Bridge 21st Century, Brock’s Super-PAC. “They’re always there; they’re always working around the clock,” former Clinton White House adviser Paul Begala says of the crew. “I always tease David that he finds all of these nerd virgins and locks them away in a vault where they never see sunlight or have a drink or get laid. But God Bless them!”


HAHAHAHAHA.  THEY TRIED TO FORCE MEMES AND THEIR OWN PEOPLE VIEW THEM AS VIRGINS THAT DON'T SEE SUNLIGHT.

Forcing memes is anti-memetic warfare 101.  We do it for free because we love our country, and those savages have just been sacrificed by their own employers.  Throw their corpses on the pyre of political correctness.

THE RECORD HAS BEEN CORRECTED

How to Spot a Racist on Social Media

If at least 1% of your internet browsing habits don't include porn or video games, it'd be hard to miss the posts about black people being shot by the police.  Ask people who are pissed off about it enough questions and the problem, as they see it, is systemic white racism.

This week, a black man was shot by a black officer in North Carolina.  Very angry black people saw this as sufficient reason to riot and attack white people.  I'm not kidding.  Look up the videos yourself.  In one video, gaggles of black men run after ONE white guy in a parking lot.  They beat the shit out of him while he was begging for mercy.  A white photographer in a button-up and and utility belts holding camera stuff was knocked out.  He was totally unconscious a few feet from a burning dumpster fire.  A group of black people tried to drag his unconscious body on top of that fire.  Police finally intervened.  A white CNN reporter was violently body-checked into the ground LIVE ON AIR as he was "reporting" the news.

There is no question, these rioters were out for the blood of white people.

Since I'm a fan of justice, and assumed my Facebook friends were too, I anticipated a HUGE amount of outrage on my feed.  Racism is bad.  Black droves of anti-white hate mobs were surely going to incite  AT LEAST the same amount of outrage as a black man getting shot by a black cop, right?  Wrong.  All of the people showing the racial injustice in these cop shootings didn't post anything.  Why?

3 possibilities.

1.  They're brain-dead media zombies caught in an echo-chamber of leftist race-baiting news sources.

2.  They saw the racism, felt bad, but worried about being called racist for bringing it up.

3.  They saw it.  They saw it all.  They saw more than most.  And they're smiling on the inside.  They have a real sense that white people are evil and revel in the suffering of whites.  After all, we deserve it.  Because white privilege.

If you know of someone who is constantly posting outrage videos about a black person being shot by police and claim to be fighting for justice!; but they refuse to even acknowledge that hundreds of black men were beating the shit out of white people for being white, you have spotted a racist.

These people don't care about justice.  They care about disparaging white people.  Why do they hate white people?

Why are Millennials Retarded?

My peers don't pay attention to anything important.  They will latch on to an idea that makes it look like they care about something important, but once that topic has depleted the maximum FB likes and RTs it can, it's over.  They walk into the bathroom with their new outfit, make sure the lighting is right, then snap a selfie in the mirror.  I suspect the Men In Black exist and they started putting their memory-correction devices into all new smartphones.  "Whoops, looks like no one cares about that thing anymore.  Let's go take a selfie. *flash* Wow, look at all the likes my selfie is getting".

 Here's a recent example.

My FB peers were recently supporting Bernie Sanders.  Everyday I saw pro-Bernie stuff.  I it'd be a disaster to vote another Marxist into office, but at least people were interested in arguably the most important non-personal decision they can make in their lives:  Who is going to make decisions on behalf of the ENTIRE country for the next four years?

I went back and forth with these people, happy to engage in dialogue about why socialism is a horrible idea.  Mostly I got contrived rhetoric and links to articles 95% of them didn't read, but at least there was a discussion.

When you looked over the barren, grey plane of dust and wind that is typically social media, you could see a tinge of green -individual buds slowly struggling out of the infertile soil - until it almost looked like a field would finally produce the fruit of mental labor.  And then Bernie endorsed Hillary Clinton and fire-bombed the whole goddamn thing.  You can still see remnants of ash floating around, reminding you of the fruits that could have been, but it looks like the dust will settle - back to the barren wasteland of fake outrage and societal degradation.

I have a few theories, but I'd like to know, why are they so retarded?
