It's the height of American hypocrisy .... as if they couldn't get any higher
They constantly celebrate and glorify their military and military dead and military heroes .... yet they're set to have a big ol'expensive parade for one of the most cowardly, undemocratic leaders they've ever had.
I do the same because I love garlic too .... unfortunately, this past winter, I discovered there is an upper limit to this 'one neat trick' ..... an entire head of raw garlic on a piece of toast is enough to wish you could physically remove your colon from own body for a few hours.
We still have huge organizations with billions of members in the world that believe their saviour is going to come back soon, destroy the world, dragons, demonic horsemen, fire, brimstone, people magically disappearing and rising up to heaven and everyone else getting thrown into a lake of fire.
I've been saying it for the past two US election cycles .... the US is a one party state with two different organizations representing just one political party.
I love that scene too. When Kirk first mentioned if it was New York, I just blindly assumed that the writers and producers were just going to go in that direction. I was partly sad that Toronto was going to masked over as another American city but at the same time nostalgically looking forward to seeing the city any way.
It was both a sigh of relief and a big smile when La'an looked at Kirk like he was an idiot and told him it was Toronto.
It doesn't matter what they offer. It doesn't matter what they build. It doesn't matter if it's real or not. It doesn't matter if it is beneficial or not. It doesn't matter if it is ethical or not. It doesn't matter if it is moral or not. It doesn't matter if it is respectful or not.
That's a stupid comparison .... it isn't a set of Penrose stairs .... it isn't an innocent fictional paradox
It's both parties digging holes in the ground and under the foundation of a massive building. They are are either unaware or just don't care that the building will inevitably collapse on them.
I sympathize with all that ... because we are suffering with the same here in Canada to a lesser degree ... but I'm in a northern area away from the cities where we have historically always voted for the left or center and seldom the right wing parties.
We are keeping our heads above water but I can feel the undertow of right wing politics all the time. No matter what happens, I'll always be left (the NDP party) even if it means we lose, I'll never give it to the politics of hate, fear or anxiety just because some dumb politician or television told me so.
This isn't the fault of a corrupt politician .... or a corrupt political party ... or a corrupt opposition political party
It's the American people who just blinded accept all this, vote for it, don't question it and do as little as possible about it all and just live with it and hope that it all just goes away on its own.
They should just hire a CGI studio to make the most massive parade imaginable with thousands of tanks and military vehicles, two million troops all lined up in various uniforms ... even place an entire ship on wheels and drive it down with its crew marching in front and behind ... hundreds of fighter aircraft in formation and a hundred bomber and stealth aircraft at the same time
Then broadcast the whole thing and just tell everyone its happening live at the capital.
It's not like all these MAGA idiots live in reality anyway ... you can tell and show them anything that supports their dumb beliefs and they'll swallow everything. If people at the capital or even news media say that this is all fake, you broadcast all the conservative media to contradict everything.
It's the height of American hypocrisy .... as if they couldn't get any higher
They constantly celebrate and glorify their military and military dead and military heroes .... yet they're set to have a big ol'expensive parade for one of the most cowardly, undemocratic leaders they've ever had.
