It is curious that people tend to regard government as a quasi-divine, selfless, Santa Claus organization. Government was constructed neither for ability nor for the exercise of loving care; government was built for the use of force and for necessarily demagogic appeals for votes.
— Murray N. Rothbard

Oh yes! The Sons and Daughters of Man, if they and their children are ever to know peace, need the Ordo Hereticus. Only by firm action and resolute faith will Mankind survive this age of depravity and madness.
Freedom is freedom, after all. Hence, if we are forced to allow filth to desecrate our flag and/or the flags of our allies, burning the Hamas flag must be A-OK too. That just makes sense. You can’t have laws protecting some but not others, right?
Wrong, at least functionally wrong for the average American citizen. While various ever-so-educated legal pundits and scholars will claim from the rarefied safety, comfort, and isolation of their ivory towers that, in the absence of other factors, these are each protected acts of symbolic free speech, on the ground this isn’t the truth at all. In any Leftist controlled zone – geopolitical or digital – there are almost always those other factors. And, few if any normal Americans have the means or wherewithal to contest either the State or the platform when they are imprisoned or otherwise censored.
I mean, sure, if you burn the Hamas flag at home where nobody can see you do it, you’re “protected.” But, if you burn it where the things support Hamas can see it, you’re likely to be arrested, suspended from school, and/ or deplatformed. Conversely, they can do pretty much whatever they desire and the police will protect them, even up to using lethal force against you if you try to stop them.
Well, now it is the Advent of the Christmas season this year. Hence, I shall now be decorating Reflections From A Murky Pond in the appropriate and now correctly seasonal manner. 😉
Explaining Millennials is easy. And, by this, I mean explaining their existence and commonness in America, not why they are like they are. The explanation is easy – Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill. 😆 I swear to Silenus, Strawberry Hill resulted in more Millennial births than anything else, though those damn wine coolers accounted for a lot of the later Millennials.
But, my fellow Gen Xers, lets not be too prideful. A damn lot of us are here due to: Andre’s Cold Duck, Mateus, and Lancers. 😉
For every important question, especially those about how to handle domestic enemies when they’re rioting and suchlike in support of enemies of the one’s nation, there is a solution. Remember though, if the enacted solution isn’t Final, it’s just a stopgap and one that might make the problem more extreme.
Hence, in my rarely humble opinion, the best means of solving for the genocidal, #FreePalestine terrorists is the deployment of MQ-1 Predator and/or MQ-9 Reaper (Predator B) armed with AGM-114N thermobaric Hellfire missiles and/or CBU-100 Rockeye cluster bombs.
For those who know – Yes, I’m aware that there’s no evidence that the MQ-1 or MQ-9 have been equipped with CBUs. It should, however, be an easy task to do so.
Again, for every Question there is a Solution. One just has to have the conviction and the will to find and use it. To do otherwise to allow the question to fester, spread like rot, and require even greater efforts to solve for.
