The Exigent Duality
Clown World of Clown People - 18:11 CST, 1/20/21 (Sniper)
Below are truly bizarre things which huge swathes of the people around me believe, and who never hesitate to remind me at every opportunity: at work, in video games, in movies, in music, in my neighborhood, and everywhere else.

When I very politely point out the myriad flaws in their arguments, they call me a crack pot, a white supremacist, a conspiracy theorist, or try to get me fired from my job and get my web site cancelled. If I drank, I could make that joke about people wondering why I do:

  • Theft is wrong. Taxation is ok.

  • A mob of people committing violence outside of the government is a mob. A mob of people committing violence inside the government is "democracy".

  • Because 50.000001% of people vote for something, the State has the "consent of the governed" to put a gun to the heads of the other 49.999999% and force them into compliance.

  • People do not have a right to make their own choices. But I have the right to make my own choices-- like forcing you to do what I want!

  • Reality is subjective. Everything you say is objectively wrong.

  • Everyone should dress like Michael Jackson in public, in fear of a virus which causes zero symptoms in most people, and has a 99.9% survival rate.

  • Mentally ill mysophobic people are the sane ones, and can force the mentally healthy to play pretend sick in public, at the cost of being denied access to health care and groceries.

  • Debt has no meaning, because it's just money we owe to ourselves.

  • A governor can sign a decree onto a piece of paper, and it is magically authoritative. Politicians have authority because they had a big enough mob behind them during "election" season.

  • Someone who loots a Walmart and burns down a Wendy's should be bailed out immediately. A blind elderly man like Irwin Schiff who won't pay taxes should die chained to a bed in prison.

  • Celebrities and multi-billion dollar corporations are good sources of moral guidance.

  • Borders are racist-- all are welcome! This is why I fenced in my front yard, keep my door locked, and have a security system which instantly calls the police if it goes off.

  • The police are bad. And if you argue with me, I'll call 911.

  • Prices are set by how much labor went into something.

  • I hate inequality, so I'm going to institutionalize an infinitely powerful ruling class.

  • A man can literally become a woman, and vice-versa.

  • Animals are just "people who can't talk". So I cut off their genitals and imprison them in my home.

  • White people are oppressive because of their skin color, regardless of their personal life's experiences.

  • Men are oppressive because they have a cock and balls. But "men" are also just a social construct, and there are actually seven hundred "genders".

  • Women and minorities should be hired because they have vaginas or are black. Proponents call critics of their policies "sexist and racist". They put Martin Luther King Jr. signs in their front lawns.

  • The Earth is about to hit life-of-the-planet unprecedented levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, causing it to become the solar system's second Venus.

  • Fossil fuel-burning internal combustion cars are bad for the environment. Fossil fuel-burning external combustion cars are good for the environment.

  • Words are violence. Silence is violence. Burning down entire neighborhoods is a peaceful protest. Taking a selfie in Nancy Pelosi's chair is "insurrection."

Someone let me know when this ride is over.
