Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.

To start with, understand that AOC is just the currently most visible, incessantly vocal, and most publicly hubristic example of what is inherently wrong with our domestic enemies, the Left and their non-White Coat-Tail Riders. They’re all like this. They always have been. And they always will be.
These sorts have always held and stridently preached that the truth is secondary to- and must be, at best, forcibly held in subordination to their and their chosen ones’ narratives.
In sad truth, they’re not only morally ignorant, their morality is based upon deliberate ignorance and rejection of the truth and any and all facts that evidence that truth. And, that means you can no more successfully argue with them than you can with any other religious fanatic.

Yesterday marked the official 2nd anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Coronavirus to be a pandemic, thereby officially starting the COVID World Order (CWO) and striking a cruel and possible mortal blow against basic civil liberties across the globe. Two years ago yesterday, the Wuhan Flu moved the West one great leap closer to the authoritarian and conformist model of China, where the disease developed or was developed.
Fear Is Freedom
And, I’m sadly of the opinion that in most ways that will end up mattering this panicdemic will continue for the foreseeable future. Most likely it will never really end. Instead, the visible signs of certain people’s fears and need to signal conformity and isolate the rest of us will become normalized.
They’ve Become This
There are just too many people – almost all of them the sorts who vote Democrat – who have made the coronavirus, its effects upon them, and their responses to it their identity and the basis of their moral identity – or, at least, the trappings and signals thereof – for the chilling effects of the panicdemic to actually end any time in the foreseeable future.
They are too enamored of feeling better about themselves for their compliant-with-authority behaviors, too fond of castigating and demonizing the “unwashed/unmasked/unvaxxed masses,” and, odd as it seems prima facie, too attached to the pain, discomfort, and harm their “moral actions” have caused them. They’re not going to stop what they’re doing and they’re going to rebel against any “apostate” force, be it governmental or private sector who tries to convince them to “fall from grace.”
So, in many ways, even when and if the sources of authority declare that America is “reopening,” nothing much will change. This is COVID-19 World Order, after all.

So many people, especially those in America, totally forget the other side of Christmas. It’s all about Santa and getting stuff here and now. Krampus and the punishment of the wicked and/or slothful are utterly cast aside and forgotten.
‘Tis Krampus’ Night Too. Have You’ve Been Naughty?
🙄 Of course, we being the peoples that we are, it’s blatantly and admittedly beautifully apparent that Krampus isn’t a source of fear or useful in the moral lessons that were once inherent in Christmas traditions.
Jólakötturinn
Well, we could borrow Iceland’s Jólakötturinn, a giant black cat who devours children on Christmas Eve who didn’t get new clothes for the holiday. And hey! Jólakötturinn is the housepet of the giantess Grýla, her latest husband, Leppalúði, and he bevy of sons – all by previous husbands – the Yule Lads, who all love eating unruly, disobedient, and/or unwanted children.
And no, insofar as I can find, there no sexy Jólakötturinn or Grýla cosplay going on… yet. 😉

😆 Now that’s a delightfully unique, hilarious, and utterly twisted riff on the fairy tale trope of the dragon and the captured or sacrificed princess. And, yes, to inform the more sheltered out there, vore – short for vorarephilia – is a kink, hopefully, one firmly restricted to fantasy.

I can’t say that America is suffering from and through its worst generation gap. That would, IMHO, be the cap in outlook, beliefs, and patriotism between the Silent Generation and the Baby Boomers (Hippies). I can say, however, that the gap between the Millennials (Gen Y) and a significant subset of Generation Z and all former generations of Americans is both disgusting and profound.
But yeah! Greta Thunberg’s generation is going to start a revolution? Not very likely unless it can function and make an impact via social media and #Hashtaggery alone. :LOL:
