The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.

Either your beliefs matter or they don’t. Do your beliefs matter? Or are you one of many, many, many sorts who claim beliefs but stay silenced by the fears of opprobrium? If you’re the latter what does that say about you?
Or, maybe it says more about your beliefs – not the content thereof, but your actual understanding of them. Maybe you don’t really believe in what you think you do. Maybe, that belief or yours is just a convenient placeholder and placard for what you really believe.

The sorts of titular adults who believe that Biden was properly elected and that he is functional as the POTUS and ostensible Leader of the Free World need to not be condescending towards children who believe in various fairy tales and mythical beings. 😉

Funny but true in the minds of 10s of millions (approx. 115 million in point of fact) of Americans – two unrelated and extremely geographically separated cryptids telling you to “fuck off” has an equal to- or greater Confidence Level and Interval than Joe Biden having actually and legally won the 2020 election for POTUS. I.e., neither seems particularly believable to most of those Americans.
Unsurprisingly, the response by the sorts who possess that firmly held belief that “Creepy Uncle Joe” did win the 2020 election fair and square is also quite similar to the reaction of most people to those who believe in Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.

Faisal Saeed Al Mutar’s Facebook post about a fictional conversation between a Jihadi and a Progressive is said to have gone viral:
It must be incredibly frustrating as an Islamic terrorist not to have your views and motives taken seriously by the societies you terrorize, even after you have explicitly and repeatedly stated them. Even worse, those on the regressive left, in their endless capacity for masochism and self-loathing, have attempted to shift blame inwardly on themselves, denying the terrorists even the satisfaction of claiming responsibility.
It’s like a bad Monty Python sketch:
“We did this because our holy texts exhort us to to do it.”
“No you didn’t.”
“Wait, what? Yes we did…”
“No, this has nothing to do with religion. You guys are just using religion as a front for social and geopolitical reasons.”
“WHAT!? Did you even read our official statement? We give explicit Quranic justification. This is jihad, a holy crusade against pagans, blasphemers, and disbelievers.”
“No, this is definitely not a Muslim thing. You guys are not true Muslims, and you defame a great religion by saying so.”
“Huh!? Who are you to tell us we’re not true Muslims!? Islam is literally at the core of everything we do, and we have implemented the truest most literal and honest interpretation of its founding texts. It is our very reason for being.”
“Nope. We created you. We installed a social and economic system that alienates and disenfranchises you, and that’s why you did this. We’re sorry.”
“What? Why are you apologizing? We just slaughtered you mercilessly in the streets. We targeted unwitting civilians – disenfranchisement doesn’t even enter into it!”
“Listen, it’s our fault. We don’t blame you for feeling unwelcome and lashing out.”
“Seriously, stop taking credit for this! We worked really hard to pull this off, and we’re not going to let you take it away from us.”
“No, we nourished your extremism. We accept full blame.”
“OMG, how many people do we have to kill around here to finally get our message across?”
Of course, as we all know, if this conversation were conducted in person there’s only one way it could end.
Allahu Akbar Metnakah!
This would never happen though. Liberals and Progressives love telling us these things but I can’t really see them saying the same thing to the jihadis that they’re seemingly always engaged in apologetics for. This is probably a good thing because it would raise too many difficult questions – e.g., is it still terrorism if a Jihadi kills a Liberal or Progressive?

Much of life and almost all of geopolitics and diplomacy is based upon faith. The actors involved has to believe that others will hold at least somewhat true to their word. The question, sometimes an existential question, is how much can one rationally believe.
Which Is Easier To Believe In?
Well, which is easier to believe in, that the Ayatollahs ruling Iran will allow their semi-secular puppet government that we’re negotiating a nuclear deal with to abide by their word to “The Great Satan” or the Easter Bunny?
Of course, Obama says, “If Iran cheats, the world will know it.” In this, I think the boy is right though, himself, less than truthful through misdirection and omission.
If Iran Cheats, The World Will Know It
Yeah, If Iran cheats, the world will know it…when Hamas, Hezbollah, or some other Iranian proxy detonates a nuclear weapon in Tel Aviv. And that, Ladies, Gentleman, and any of you Libtards who might be reading this, is far, far easier to believe in than either the Ayatollahs’ honor or the Easter Bunny.
