Sunday School

[Reg the Fronkey Farmer]

One of the main draws of religion for young people is its sense of community.

Pete Hegseth prays at Pentagon service for ‘overwhelming violence’.

World of Woo: Eating real food.

Environment: A new kind of plastic that can be recycled over and over again without losing its quality.

The reasonable critique of the violent side of Islam is justified.

How technology is quietly replacing religion.

The Third Gulf War follows directly from the last two.

Blasphemy laws reinforce power structures, especially against women and dissenters.

Indigenous “Ways of Knowing” have no place in British Columbia’s school science curriculum.

Land animals evolved from ocean ancestors.

Long Reads:

Do you feel  upset if you don’t read a book to the last page?

A Universe without an audience.

Since the Dobbs decision, Christians are becoming more aggressive.

My mom, the Christian cult leader.

The Peptide Craze.

There is a red flag flying over Moscow.

I don’t care who Banksy is—the art speaks for itself.

Have a great week!

Thanks Reg!

In praise of folly. Don’t ruffle the feathers of the Islamic dolly.

Well written and cogent the article about Islamic terror apologists. Just a couple of thoughts. Those two billion are mostly victims but not as perceived by the lefties. Just more idiots swept up by the rivers of belief and imposed morality. I think and hope a clash of civilizations will see the west prevail not only militarily but in terms of ideas. The tolerance of and even fostering/furtherance of Islamic values and norms by liberals is a form of suicidal empathy to steal a line that is mind boggling. If a group of putative liberals sought to deflect criticism of unaffiliated rapists or child molesters they would be seen as degenerates. Rightly. Yet in the context of a much more puissant and dangerous hive of evil it is peachy. That hive is not satisfied with live and let live. It wants you to be in the hive or die. Just insanity.

Another point about free speech is how lefties are adamant and fervent in their obsessive condemnation of Israel/Jews. Ahistorical? No problema. A deliberate construct that furthers the demonization of one group and infantilization of another? That is good. Don’t say nothing bad to offend either the individuals of Islam or the degenerate practices/beliefs of Islam. Meanwhile pay lip service to BS about “i don’t hate Jews” it is Netanyahoo or fill in the blank. All Jews are guilty is the de facto zeitgeist for these lefties who are so concerned not to offend Muslims.

The hypocrisy is outstanding. The stupidity is outstanding. And ya know what? It is almost assured that if Islamic terrorism causes a severe backlash it will be individual innocent Muslims who will pay.

I don’t care who Banksy is either. Banksy strikes me as some privileged asshole with stencils and Crayolas who gets fame and profit from other people’s misery.

Judging from some of Banksy’s topics, subjects, and favorite causes, Banksy’s work would have been right at home at Krystalnacht.

And yes, Banksy is privileged. There are plenty of people who have been cancelled, fired, threatened, attacked, jailed, tortured, and killed for their spoken, written, portrayed, non-graffiti-ed thoughts, who did not have Banksy’s anonymity and mystique.

I hope Banksy and every outfit profiting from his destruction all go bankrupt.

There is so much that can be said about Charlie and Erika Kirk and the whole swirl about them.

Charlie Kirk certainly didn’t deserve murder and Erika and his children didn’t deserve their loss and all the people saying otherwise are nihilistic ghouls.

And it’s holds for whatever reason Charlie Kirk was murdered (I haven’t yet explored anything said about his accused shooter and curiously, no podcasters commenting on Charlie and Erika Kirk ever bring up his accused shooter either.)

At the same time, Charlie Kirk was not omniscient and it is no great feat to debate with intellectually feckless college kids, especially nowadays.

Neither Charlie Kirk, nor Erika by inheritance, nor Turning Point USA were or are the boss of anybody but themselves and people need to stop seeing them as kingmakers or guides on anything.

And the same goes for know-nothing wacky morning show broadcasters, especially who know nothing of Post-Civil Rights Era City governments and Post-Colonial African leaders, who clearly have both prejudice and power.

Come back, girls, when you grow up.

Meanwhile, collective intelligence has plummeted just by casual contact with this whole subject.

[Strega]

Who are these girls you’re addressing, Enco?

[TheEncogitationer]

Strega,

Who are these girls you’re addressing, Enco?

Sorry, the contagion has spread even to my device’s Autofill.

🤪

I was meaning to address specifically the one who said “Racism is prejudice plus power” from the bowels of a multi-thousand Watt broadcast station.

[Strega]

Just checking… 🙂

(it’s always good to be invited back, even if I need to grow up a bit more)

Mystery Science Theater 3000 was Light Years ahead of their time and our present zeitgeist on the use of empathy as a weapon.

Islam is the NummiMuffinCooColButter of the 21st Century Western World.

Even this video skips the scene when the Satellite Of Love was covered in so much pink fur sheddings that Tom Servo had it in his gum machine dome and Gypsie (later named GPC) was sneezing up piles of the stuff.

[jakelafort]

Enco,

There is a parallel between the microcosm and macrocosm. Who is punished least….dime store thief or white collar criminal who has stolen millions? So it is with Islam. Some tiny obscure cult with beliefs and behavior on a par with Islamic culture we want to prosecute and disband cult. Bring the perpetrators to justice. Deprogram the vulnerable victims who were hoodwinked into the cult. Islam? Yeah the lefties want to suck the nipple of Islam and excuse the harm caused by Islam. Shield Islam from criticism. Ya know it is just too stupid to stomach.

Perhaps another part of what you are speaking of may also be a larger Western phenomenon I’ve been reading and YouTubing about called Oikophobia–the fear and hatred of that which is your own home nation, society, culture or civilization. Oikophobia came from the Postmodernism of Derrida and Foucault. This video sums it up:

Looking at recent history, there was a lot of that in the Sixties. U.S. students would go join the Paris Commune in the 1968 uprisings or would go to Hindu India to “find themselves” or even convert to Islam in the case of Malcolm X, Black Panthers Eldridge Cleaver and Benjamin Farmer, and SNCC’s H. Rap Brown..

It wasn’t just standing against a particular injustice or condition within one’s own society like racism or sexism or the Vietnam War and working to end it. It was wholesale hatred and rejection of one’s home in general.

Since Islam and Islamic peoples are the “Other” in the U.S. and the West and since Jews and Judaism were part of the U.S. and the West from the beginning, the results of Oikophobia become obvious.

Oikophobia in the U.S. and the West manifests as supporting Islamic regimes and terrorism as part of “the Omnicause” and hating anything related to Jews, including not just the religion, but also secular intellectualism including Zionism. And it’s especially found in the protest movements in Israel.

Blind, irrational nay-saying and gainsaying are just as dangerous as blind acceptance and obedience.

[jakelafort]

“Blind, irrational nay-saying and gainsaying are just as dangerous as blind acceptance and obedience.”

Not a bad line Enco.

Oink oink oink a phobic is anaerobic, dystopic, myopic, off topic. Listen man any sleep of reason drilled into the masses makes a dumbing down fantastic. The modern recipe requires the boogey man. The Jew. Those outside the group with whom you fraternize are few. Good fences make good neighbors. Digital blocking is a modern way of not talking. And when you stop talking the boogey man you are mocking. The narratives are canonical. The dogma tonical. Unlike the Canterbury Tales as a chronicle the beliefs are in a monacle.

Sacrosanct is that religion which denies reality even when that pigeon deposits its fecal emulsion on the bald pate of the reprobate. Rime slime in due time. No more time for rhyme.

Grass is always greener. Have you hit the zenith or nadir if Islam is the one with whom you have an affair. Ok it is pretty obvious i need nutrition. My words are like a foul emission.

Ya know if there were even a kernel of intellect which means skepticism (no intelligence without skepticism. If you do not question you are not intelligent.) You might be able to regurgitate like a motha. But so can a parrot. You’d not fall for the use of a fallacy like whataboutism to curtail your query. The obsesssion and demonization of Jews and Israel would make one think and investigate the lionization and support for Palestinianism. But that is neither here nor there nor anywhere.

Oink oink oink a phobic is anaerobic, dystopic, myopic, off topic.

To be clear, here, Islam is Oink-aphobic.* Islam’s apologists in the West are Oik-aphobic, with no added ‘n’ in the prefix. There, fixed.

*(Israel, to it’s credit, is not so Oink-aphobic. Israel’s commodities market includes pork bellies. You don’t have to touch it or eat it to invest in it or sell it to hungry non-Kosher citizen neighbors. 🎶Peccary and Israeli live together in perfect harmony, side by side in the free market, Hazlitt, why don’t weeeee?🎶)

(Speaking of Oink-aphobia and Oik-aphobia, here’s a bizarre example of both in one place: Many Barbecue joints down South have self-hating, cannibalistic pigs as mascots on their road signs, T-Shirts, and menus.

Cannibal Pigs

There’s an obvious joke that would involve all self-hating parties here, but it’s graveyard humor and would hurt too much to laugh, and the hour is much too late. I will this once abide by Orange Mussolini’s words and be a quiet piggie.🐷)

Ok it is pretty obvious i need nutrition. My words are like a foul emission.

Nourish and nutrish if you wish, but please keep making your words flourish! They are delish and they refresh!
