It isn’t a coincidence that governments everywhere want to educate children. Government education, in turn, is supposed to be evidence of the state’s goodness and its concern for our well-being. The real explanation is less flattering. If the government’s propaganda can take root as a children grow up, those kids will be no threat to the state apparatus. They’ll fasten the chains to their own ankles.

Distilling Biden and his policies down to their root is easy, if very disturbing and worrying. Full Mental Jackass – and a clear and present danger to Americans– is what the demented freak is.

Yes, this is from Babylon Bee, a purely sarcastic, dark humor site with normally little intersectionality with real-world facts in evidence. But, the best sarcasm is holding up a mirror to reality and the Bee was perhaps more truthful than planned this time.
If one bothers to listen to the various “reporters” from the Left’s Lamestream Media and far too many pundits and talking heads in the Clerisy – and one ex-POTUS – we can’t know or understand what Hamas and the Palestinians they fully represent really want. We need to be told that it’s beyond us and a far too complex issue for our opinions and common sense – or what Hamas and their people outright proclaim – to be listened to or taken into account.
The truth is simple: The Palestinians et al want Hamas to exterminate or drive off, preferably the former, ever single Jew from the Jordan River to Mediterranean Sea and the Jews of Israel neither want to be murdered or be driven from their Homeland.

Yeah, this is originally from The Babylon Bee, which is a satire site much in a similar vein to The Onion and Duffel Blog. It’s sadly believable though. The sorts running Hollywood are the sorts who would do something like stripping Schindler’s List of its Best Motion Picture award for not having enough LGBTQ+ characters, people of color, and other “oppressed groups.”

I do strive to educate the masses in whatever small ways that I can, and I freely admit to a love of language and idiom. Hence, here’s a new and, I believe, quite useful addition to people’s vocabulary.
Sarchotic
Function: adjective
Date: 2012
Definition(s):
Being so sarcastic that people don’t aren’t sure whether you’re joking or just plain crazy
Indeed, given the nature of times, this particular idiom is growing in usefulness at the same pace as digital “communication.”
Oh yeah! Sarchotic is a word i can very much relate to.
