Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.

Tsitsim L’Chaim! Boobs for Life! Or, as best as my Yiddish and Hebrew can get – and yes, I pretty sure that tsitsim (boobs) is a Yiddish word with Hebrew roots that crossed back into modern Hebrew. Linguistically correct or not though, the sentiment stands – boobs for life!
Moors, Saracens, Mongols – they all fucked around with Christendom and they all found out. FAFO is the history of the West. Some sorts these days, especially ones in the West who should know better, need to remember this. Or not. It is what it is, and we’ve plenty of ammo and a growing acceptance of the returned need to use it.
If Disney bought the rights to Sailor Moon and did a reboot, this is probably what it would look like these days… except I would assume that they’d cast a Black as Sailor Moon his/herself. 🙄
The #Wokesters running Disney into the ground just can’t seem to help themselves. It’s like they have a bet going with Netflix over which of them can fuck up more.
But, unlike the new normal for Disney, it wouldn’t be live action. Peter Dinklage would probably complain about the Sailor Venus / Krillin character’s casting… whether or not the actor was a dwarf. The little guy’s got a big chip on his shoulder, though nobody is really sure anymore over what. 😆
That’s the thing about the abnormals and those than pander to them; every time they score some victories – some of which were proper and just – they just can’t stop themselves. They have to push hard and push loud, moving away from any thought of tolerance or equality under the law and towards demanding exuberant approval, special privileges, and that the state mandate their culture and/or lifestyle choices.
But, the American majority is very much like a sleeping dragon. No one in their right mind wants to poke it and wake it up because we don’t want to wake up and we’re cranky when forcibly awoken. Also, like any other dragon, our first response upon being forced awake is more often than scorched earth.
And, boycotts, regime changes through the ballot box, and punitive laws are just the beginning. Think of those reactions as what a dragon might do while still half asleep. If the #Woke crowd and their political party don’t stop poking and pushing, they may all end up dying in the flames.
