Embrace the greater happiness of the firing squad. At a gallows, only one man pulls the lever and there's no doubt who gets the credit. With a firing squad any of up to, say, 10 guys might believe that they fired the shot that killed the globalist miscreant. 10 people thinking euphorically instead of one.
And one public killing of one of the top 'elite' would serve as the perfect excuse for instituting total martial law, confiscation of weapons and concentration camps. I don't have a solution except to pray very sincerely.
(One thing to recall: the real problem, just as in the Holocaust and similar events, is the low-level thugs doing the actual work, usually for some small advantage, such as a small amount of money or prestige. Obviously, Gates or Schwab or any of the others couldn't take on even one or two healthy guys, and they probably have never touched a gun. This may offer some hope if there is a possibility of getting the "police and military" to follow their moral instincts rather than their animal desires.)
That cardigan sweater wearing loathsome fucker along with the equally vile Fraudci make Dr. Mengele look like a Sunday school teacher. They both need their heads disconnected from their necks.
Only if we provide the lake. There is no afterlife with a judgmental god who decides who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. That is childish thinking and I refuse to engage in it.
Why do you say that is childish thinking? There have been a great many, extraordinarily intelligent and deep thinkers, adults hugely accomplished in every field, who have believed exactly that. You may not agree with those thinkers, but their reasons for believing in such a God were not and are not childish. In my experience many people believe in God for many different reasons. Children and childish people who believe in God tend to have childish reasons. Adults tend to have more sophisticated reasons.
Lol! I didn't say I did. You are surmising that and making assumptions. I simply said the Bible is historical fiction and as such it should be in the fiction section of the library or bookstore. It is not meant to be taken literally. If it was people would be dashing babies' heads against rocks and raping women and all other manner of ill shit. We don't believe in Zeus, Poseidon or any other Greek gods. We don't believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or the tooth fairy. Why in the hell should we believe in some invisible cloud being? People have a belief in god because they are afraid to die and they can't believe that this world that we live in with all of its faults and all of its beauty and all of its absolute horror is all there is. We make our own meaning. Stop looking for it outside yourself.
I get you. I'm an atheist myself, and I know as well as you that Christianity is no better than the rest and the argument against biblical literalism is valid--it's too self-contradictory to really follow literally and even literalists have to engage in metaphor and logical pretzels to make it work in their minds. Everyone is pretty much taking from it what they want.
But people will come to things when they come to it--if they come to it--and that goes for Christian evangelists as well as atheists. If someone is tolerant of my atheism and is otherwise a good person, I try not to let it bug me if something that means something to them is absurd from my pov. As I've said before to others, I dont care if you believe in fairies living in the meadow, so long as they aren't telling you to kill anyone or enforce or pressure the belief on others.
And the change in recent years in the atheist community in which atheists have increasingly treated science and medicine like medieval peasants treated the Catholic church, in which people with science titles are priests and the words of a loftier title override those with lesser titles, and in which we, the unwashed masses, have no right to see evidence or do our own research or make our own decision,only a Properly Accredited Acolyte may do those things on our behalf and ours is not to understand or choose but to believe and obey...
Well, I've come to realize that no one is immune to emotional illogic, no matter how much they think they are. Unfortunately.
Given that many of the 'scientists' have abandoned science and got themselves injected with something they hope will save them from something they've been told is 'bad', I think the whole 'reverence for logical folk in white coats' thing has had its day.
Most of the Bible is historical fiction and as such it should be in the fiction section of every library and bookstore. If you believe there was an historical Jesus, you can derive something from his teachings, but the book itself is not meant to be taken literally.
There actually is a lot there, and quite a bit of it is literal, is fact. For me, it required study, learned discernment, rebellion and some knocks. But I had to know. Blessed are those that are able to accept it straight up! I could not. I had to work at it, and have had some amazing experiences over 50 years before the day I "got" it. It IS real. God is a Real Thing, and yes, He really did send his only begotten son for us. The Bible is well worth digging into, can be supplemented with history it refers to in passing, and archeology. For thousands of years, Jewish boys had to memorize the first 5 books of the Bible, EXACTLY. Writing and reading couldn't be supported everywhere, but the oral tradition could. When writing and reading was generously supported, things got lax on the memorizing and consequently, there were times the Bible almost was lost (much supplementary writing was lost). Very fascinating stuff. I had to force to the side the conditional constructs that man has put into church and social institutions, the anger and resentment of harms imposed upon me and others, realize it wasn't God harming me, it was Man twisting to suit. The "You HAVE to BELIEVE" to be saved," and do x, y, z ALL the time "OR ELSE." Well, it is rather a gift you can accept if you choose. I had to understand WHAT, WHY and how is it that is true? Turns out to be very freeing. There are some amazing and good people. It is only because of the Judeo-Christians that Western civilization has gained a more humane face generally, and birthed a New Nation, America. Human nature being what it is, it is a constant fight for life, liberty and freedom as God intended and we are in a sad bad place right now. Slavery has never left Africa; Islam, Communism and the evil side of human nature is destroying and debasing everything. It is a war. Oops, I digress and wasn't invited to. I'm just saying, though.
I believe as well. When my father died my kids and I were with him and we experienced something that was NOT of this world and we were not “ Godly” at the time. I don’t know what it was but it was profoundly spiritual in nature and since then my doubts have been cast aside. I feel sorry for those who have closed themselves off from these miracles, MY life has more meaning now then ever. One should always be allowed to chose what to believe…it’s called freedom and I won’t allow anyone to take that from me.
I wouldn't say Western Civilization has a more humane face because of judeo-christians or anybody else. America has blood all over its hands. This country is an instigator of wars and coups and killings but we like to think we are The Shining City on the hill. This is a lie that has been told to people who live here and people who want to come here to make them believe that we live in a benevolent nation which we do not. The Bible was written by men not by some God. God was created by man to explain things that man was unable to explain.
Correction: they need serfs to serve for their amusement while robots and drones do all the manual labour required.
An elite of a couple of hundreds of thousands, plus a cadre of researchers, technicians and similar in the millions and the proles in the tens of millions.
Plus an enforcer-caste of about 5% of the total. Plato would be so proud.
People think he is pure evil, but the truth is that he drinks his own Kool-Aid. A long time ago I did a consulting contract at MS HQ, and it was weird. I didn't meet him directly, but the people around him were weird, and I can't imagine that it has changed much in all this time. He clearly believes that he is doing the right thing for humanity.
"He clearly believes that he is doing the right thing for humanity."
Well, that's sort of the basline requirement for being a murderous genocidal fanatic. The corollary is "If everyone just understood my plan and complied, this would be so much easier on everyone".
We'll be lucky if he kills only half of us.
Indeed, the meme is off by a factor of 10. A 95% dieoff is what these guys are angling for.
They'll be lucky if we don't rope all of them.
Embrace the greater happiness of the firing squad. At a gallows, only one man pulls the lever and there's no doubt who gets the credit. With a firing squad any of up to, say, 10 guys might believe that they fired the shot that killed the globalist miscreant. 10 people thinking euphorically instead of one.
Unfortunately, they control all the police and military.
Wait till they get the robots from Boston Dynamics ready...

Which half will be lucky?
I'm hoping it's the half above the hips. Legs we can do without.
Good point.
😂😂😂
That cardigan sweater wearing loathsome fucker along with the equally vile Fraudci make Dr. Mengele look like a Sunday school teacher. They both need their heads disconnected from their necks.
I’ll happily settle for ‘loathsome fucker’….👌🏽
What's with this PREPPY look anyway. That was a look when I was in school I am 79.
Maybe he's trying to look like Mister Rogers. If he is, it's not working.
If you can’t get the NYT readers in the aware column (never done in history) you can imagine all you want.
thank you for writing my sentiments exactly

you're such a know-it-all
Don't resort to ad hominem attacks.
I have the same medical license as Billy Gates. I think we all do.
LOL. :)
I got another Gates meme for everyone right here. https://themariachiyears.substack.com/p/homemade-baby-formula-recipe?s=w
That meme alone could be responsible for slashing the birth rate.
😂😁😵💫
But how else will we save the earth!!!!!!
Bless James Corbett for performing the self-sacrificial act of reading it so we don’t have to:
https://www.corbettreport.com/gatesbook/
Short summary of Gates' attitude: This is what we are going to do whether you like it or not, so you may as well try to like it.
Precisely what Huxley predicted.
So, has anyone read the companion book by Yuval Harari, Klaus Schwab's right hand man, "You're All Useless Eaters?"
no but it sounds like a good idea for birthday gifts. to myself too.
I object to that slur. I may be a Messy Eater, but I always clear the plate, thus saving on washing up time.
Shocked it's not "I want to kill ALL of you."
Oh, but there still need to be SOME people to plough and reap the fields. After all, Gatesy & his cronies still need to eat.... :-\
HA! Stupid me.
They need serfs to work the fields and other jobs beneath them so THEY the globalists can survive.
Ha ha, we had the same thought at the same time! :-D
Correction: they need serfs to serve for their amusement while robots and drones do all the manual labour required.
An elite of a couple of hundreds of thousands, plus a cadre of researchers, technicians and similar in the millions and the proles in the tens of millions.
Plus an enforcer-caste of about 5% of the total. Plato would be so proud.
The happy ending version of the dystopian story: the robots very rationally decide that the "elites" are useless and eliminate them.
It felt creepy to me to hit "like" to this right under that picture! But glad you are posting this regardless.
"And I don't particularly care which half."
Gates is Thanos?
People think he is pure evil, but the truth is that he drinks his own Kool-Aid. A long time ago I did a consulting contract at MS HQ, and it was weird. I didn't meet him directly, but the people around him were weird, and I can't imagine that it has changed much in all this time. He clearly believes that he is doing the right thing for humanity.
"he drinks his own Kool-Aid"
Probably correct. Just look at him. He looks very unhealthy and no doubt is eating a lot of soy with the giant moobs he has.
No exercise, indoors under fluorescent lights all day, certainly no healthy sex lol.... prob eating his own fake meat....
"He clearly believes that he is doing the right thing for humanity."
Well, that's sort of the basline requirement for being a murderous genocidal fanatic. The corollary is "If everyone just understood my plan and complied, this would be so much easier on everyone".
A logic that every victim of abuse recognises.
Wow. Yup. This is a fairly profound point.
But will he lead by example? He should be the first removed from this life if he truly believes what he spouts.
Strangely, I think that if he felt it was for the greater good, he would. He is deluded.
Well heck, I'd like to kill *all* of him, so...
Best meme ever 🤣
More and more I’m beginning to believe that Germ Theory is more than just a theory. It just might be a total hoax.
Rudolph Virchow was arguably greatest physician that ever lived and studied disease didn't believe in germ theory.
Louis Pasteur never studied disease nor was a physician and was a chemist made germ theory the dominant health paradigm.
All logic dictates from this angle that germ theory is smoke and mirrors
Thanos but with Asperger's and a 45 BMI
