Then I apologize for reading too much into your comment.
But yes, no argument that these (sarcasm warning) fine specimens of humanity embody all the worst of the current MAGA tropes, which (not sarcasm) are actually honored and admired by their fellows.
Wrong, you Hard-Left socialist communist MALCONTENT! These nefarious criminals were actually trying to learn the language of the shithole-country foreigners that they planned to subjugate, a WOKE act of cultural DEI that Our Leader would NEVER have countenanced!!1!
No, seriously:
The phrase “perseverance worthy of a better cause” has never been more apt.
And people thought they weren’t well prepared!
Yeah, that’s a pretty good guess.
I’m sure you mean well, but this statement is unfair to schizophrenics. We don’t understand schizophrenia as well as we might hope, but to claim that this particular mental illness, which is almost certainly largely if not entirely biological/genetic in origin, should be conflated with the evils of right wing ideology is cruel, even though I’m sure you didn’t mean it to be.
This was specifically in the context of David Icke who is both a diagnosed schizophrenic and a proponent of bizarre conspiracy theories that have been co-opted by Neo Nazis. I wasn’t saying schizophrenics generally tend towards Maga.
Turns out these guys are involved in CSAM as well (child sexual abuse material, a modern name for child pornography). This YouTuber sums it all up fairly well, and does include profanity.
How shocking and unexpected. /s
I was thinking more hallucinogenic analogs than weed.
I finally read the article linked in the OP. The CSAM indictment is mentioned there.
They sound like really unpleasant dumbasses.
Yeah, to say the least.
Good to know. Apologies if I mischaracterized your post.
Now, here’s the kind of thing that you want to sit a team of behavior professionals with the subjects and try to have them explain exactly how they came around to THIS. Because it’s probably fascinating whether alarmingly or stupidly.
The idea of those interviews makes me of something like Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure if the characters were more like Beavis and Butthead.
But actually evil in addition to just stupid; very stupid.
It’s kind of like how I feel when I’m driving, and I see someone pull a really bone-headed maneuver. “In your head, exactly how did you think that was going to work?”
An underfunded invasion using trained mercenaries a couple of winos to murder 35-40 thousand men (& older children, because, no, that 16 or 17 yo won’t fight back) just so they can lay down & get some sleep so that they’re strong the next day to r@pe all the wimenfolk is not stupid. It’s at least four levels beyond stoopit on the dumassedry scale!
Rape and abuse of Haitians and an almost fanatical devotion to trump are two three of the GOPs most cherished traditions.
I see a Ph.D. thesis out of this one. And maybe a whole season on Netflix.
And the pitch goes something like “it’s Dumb and Dumber meets The Man who Would be King!”
Nobody has mentioned yet the assumption that none of those 30-40000 women would fight back either. It’s a classic incel fantasy that we’re a bunch of inept doormats just waiting to be told what to do.
