To the Russians Fleeing Russia: Stop — Seriously

According to The New York Times, “The Kremlin has dispatched still more forces to shore up its faltering war effort, but the units are headed not to Ukraine but to Russia’s borders with other countries, where on Tuesday they were confronting young Russian men trying to join an exodus out of the country. As the avenues for Russians to escape a draft order issued last week narrowed, the Federal Security Service sent armored vehicles to the frontiers, where some men waiting to flee were being served military call-up papers, the state news media reported.”

I had predicted that Putin would close the border, but I suppose this is the next best thing. He effectively closes the border to fleeing military-aged males by drafting them as they’re about to cross. How perfectly Russian! Will we see images of the von Trapp-like families crossing over snow-topped mountain trails instead of men (and boys) walking on highways and vehicles backed up for miles?

Look, f***tards. These Russian men should just stop f***ing walking right where they are and turn around. They may not like the war and the idea of conscription, but they made their collective bed; they need to lie in it. Since Putin came to power, Russia is the authoritarian police state they have condoned, allowed, or ignored (or all of the above) for years! Nonetheless, it is the state of government they either elected directly or acquiesced to indirectly. This is what happens when what could have been a thriving democracy 20 years ago is neglected and ignored by the citizenry — it devolves into a dictatorship. To be fair, Russia has never had a history of a free and fair democracy as an example to live by, so one may forgive the population for resorting to what the collective intergenerational memory has ever only known: authoritarianism. But democracy is hard and takes constant tending to and work.

All that being said, Russians — as I see it — have only two options. 1.) Stay, get conscripted, and die in Ukraine. 2.) Stay and revolt against Putin. But they should not be fleeing to avoid the consequences of the population’s failure to check their dictator at every turn over the last two decades. Oh, well. People get precisely the government they deserve and desire, including the consequences thereof. I would feel bad for the Russians’ plight, but I cannot, for they refuse to want to change. Get rid of Putin for the sake of the world! I get it: Easier said than done. But life is not easy. Never has been, never will be.

The U.S.: Americans Get Out of Russia Now!

According to The Hill, “The U.S. embassy in Russia is urging Americans in the country to leave and warning U.S. citizens to not travel to Russia after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a call-up of 300,000 reservists to aid depleted forces in Ukraine. The embassy said in a security alert on Wednesday that Russia may prevent U.S. citizens from leaving the country and conscript dual nationals into military service. Russia may also refuse to acknowledge dual nationals’ U.S. citizenship or restrict their access to U.S. consular assistance, officials said.” Honestly, at this point, any American in Russia who is not there on U.S. government business is probably a Russian sympathizer, so they can just stay and get conscripted, for these people should have left the minute Putin waged a full-scale war on Ukraine. At any rate, we are edging closer to World War III.

Mark of the Beast

According to AL.com, “His objection to voter ID, Joshua Wahl said, was that he believed all biometric identification, including photos that could be used for facial recognition programs, to be the mark of the beast foretold in Revelation. ‘In particular, I object to the biometric nature of IDs in Alabama which started pursuant to the REAL ID Act,’ Joshua Wahl testified. ‘And there’s a passage in Revelations 12 where it says that the forthcoming mark of the beast will be a number of a man. Biometrics by its nature is a number of a man. You know, that’s what makes me uncomfortable, and that goes against my convictions.’”

Of course, the Wahl family sued, claiming Alabama’s voter ID law discriminates against their religious beliefs. Thankfully, they lost in the 11 Circuit Court of Appeals, but it could still make its way to SCOTUS. The more significant point here is that morons in America believe such nonsense as the “mark of the beast.” I’ve been hearing this crap all my life. Everything is the mark of the beast: SSN, driver’s license, vaccines, paying taxes. America should not tolerate such idiocy. Welcome to stupid America! I thought 666 was the magic number.

Death by QAnon: America

Allow me to repeat myself — again. And allow me to speak slowly for the f***tards out there: The level of American stupid cannot be undone — ever. We are stuck with this abject stupidity unless and until they start dying off, but given the growing support and adherents to QAnon, there is little chance of that happening. QAnon will kill this country. But fear not! No one cares because people are morons and don’t see this mass delusional conspiracy as a threat. You should think twice about that!

Politico has a good interview on the subject: “Unlike many may have expected, or at least hoped, QAnon never faded away, even after Trump’s election loss in 2020 and its prophesies failed to come true. But conspiracy theories never really die, they only morph. … ‘I’ll just add, there’s a lot of people who believe in QAnon — more than we would think. From a poll earlier this year, I think in February, it’s 1 in 5 Americans are QAnon adherents, and 1 in 4 are Republicans. So those are big, big numbers.’… ‘People often say you shouldn’t point to the 1930s and the rise of the Nazis as similar to what the United States is facing. But there are actually similarities to that time period. You have the rise of a leader who is overtly authoritarian, who is challenging a democratic system, by saying our whole election system is bogus and corrupt. You also have things going on on the streets like Proud Boy rallies that are sort of reminiscent with the brown shirts. You have the rise of the far right in multiple countries. It’s not just here in the United States. You would have seen that in Sweden, the Swedish Democrats are going to form the government there after the elections about a week ago, and that’s a party that is literally rooted in neo-Nazism. There’s about to probably be another far-right winner in Italy, who has connections to a lot of extremist groups and who idolizes Mussolini. It’s hard not to think about the 1930s as somewhat reminiscent of what we’re experiencing right now. For me, this is quite frightening because we all know where that led, and it was horrific.’”

The end is coming, f***tards. People are becoming complacent as authoritarianism — wrapped in conspiracy theories and nationalism — starts to take over whole populations, political parties, governments, and countries. But no one cares as it happens in plain sight and before our very eyes. Wake up, morons! Whatever. Humanity is just not smart enough to withstand the hate and stupidity of the loud minority, who will bring destruction to America and the world. Oh, well. I warned you first and often! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People Hate Democracy and Love Autocracy

Do not think for a second that the stupidity and indifference of America stops at the Pacific and Atlantic shores. American stupidity has found kinship with the new populist movements in European countries like Italy, Poland, and Hungary. It looks like Putin’s gamble is starting to pay off — apply maximum economic pressure via restricting energy supply and causing other inflationary disruptions to Europe, and then watch the masses become uneasy and respond by voting in or supporting right-wing, Putin-friendly governments. Although, it could be that Putin’s timing is a bit off, for his military is flailing badly, and I’m not sure his mobilization efforts can hold off Ukrainian advancements long enough to prevent a Russian loss or the deterioration of the European alliance against Putin. Assuming he does not pull the nuclear card. Then all bets are off.

Nonetheless, The New York Times summed it up well, “‘These [right-wing] election [victories] are another sign that all is not well with mainstream parties,’ said Mark Leonard, director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, and spell a complicated period for the European Union.” These are warning signs for governments, and voters, in particular, who don’t seem to care; they apparently prefer authoritarianism because democracy is hard. It is better to be stupid and lazy and be told what to do and how to think than it is to be intelligent and engaged in protecting democracy. It’s easier to live on bread and circus rather than sacrifice for the greater good, especially when authoritarianism is on the march in Europe. Idiots of the world have completely forgotten their history — if they ever learned it to begin with. We’ve all seen this movie before with rising faux populism and nationalism that turns into the next world war. Fan-f***ing-fatstic. I live in stupid hell, but I expected nothing less! Stupid America or stupid Europe. It’s all the same to me.

Gang Rapes: India’s National Passtime

From CNN, “A 12-year-old boy is in ‘critical condition’ after he was allegedly gang-raped and beaten in India’s capital New Delhi, according to a statement from the city’s police and a complaint lodged by the boy’s family to the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW). … Protests in India against the high incidence of sexual assault, typically against women and girls, have become commonplace in recent years [emphasis added].” What the f***? Seriously! WTF is wrong with these people? (Interpret “these people” however you like.) But boys? And girls? I also assume animals. You take the West out of the country, and this is what it devolves into, not to mention the Indian government is an ally of Russia. This is a classic example of why some countries should still be under imperial rule.

Putin Orders Hit on Russian School

Reporting from NPR, “A gunman killed 13 people, including seven children, and wounded 21 other people in a school in central Russia on Monday, authorities said. … According to the Investigative Committee, the gunman wore a black t-shirt with ‘Nazi symbols.’ No other details about the shooter or his motives have been released.” This was a Putin-ordered hit job to detract from his losing war on Ukraine. How convenient that a country with virtually no guns suddenly suffers one of its worst school shootings perpetrated by — wait for it, wait for it — a “suspect” wearing a Nazi symbol. How serendipitous for a leader who is supposedly fighting Nazis in Ukraine. Clearly, Putin demanded this tragedy to get people to focus on anything other than his disastrous war and fleeing citizens. So predictable.

Putin to Close Russian Borders and Command

I assume that Putin will close the borders to stop the exodus of men fleeing conscription. What else is he to do to control the humiliation? Then there are reports of Putin personally directing his generals on the battlefield. CNN reports, “Russian President Vladimir Putin is himself giving directions directly to generals in the field, two sources familiar with US and western intelligence said – a highly unusual management tactic in a modern military that these sources said hints at the dysfunctional command structure that has plagued Russia’s war from the beginning.” Wow! This sounds familiar. Where have I heard this before? Where, oh, where? A dictator personally instructs his generals what to do tactically while he is hundreds of miles away from the frontlines. If I could just place this scenario within some sort of historical context. It’s on the tip of my tongue. Oh, yes! Now I remember. It was Hitler. That’s right. He didn’t trust the generals to implement his grand losing strategy, so he gave direct orders to battlefield generals while he was tucked away at his Rastenburg headquarters. Clearly, Hitler’s micro-managing of generals worked well. I do not doubt that Putin will improve on history; he’s done splendidly so far.

Italy Elects a Fascist — Oh, Well!

From CNN, “Italy will be led by the most far-right government since the fascist era of Benito Mussolini, early exit polls suggest.” And The Atlantic fills in the blanks, “Meloni’s enemies list is familiar: ‘LGBT lobbies’ that are out to harm women and the family by destroying ‘gender identity’; George Soros, an ‘international speculator,’ she has said, who finances global ‘mass immigration’ that threatens a Great Replacement of white, native-born Italians. Meloni shows affinity for authoritarian strongmen: Like Marine Le Pen, until recently the leader of the National Rally party in France, Meloni has expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin—although she has muted that enthusiasm since his invasion of Ukraine.”

Look, f***tards! How many times must I repeat myself? How many times? People love dictators! Full stop! Humanity is stupid and cannot think, so they elect dictators to think of them. Of course, that comes at the expense of minority rights and the rights of those who elected the dictator. But they don’t care because it’s bread and circus time! Naturally, the gays are on her hit list, so good luck to the Italian gays! This goes directly to what I’ve been saying for months — nay, years — now: They are coming for you, and no one cares because they never stop with the gays (or just one minority group).

Other than that, democracy continues to die across the globe, and no one cares. Ya know what? Looks like Putin’s wait-the-Europeans-out strategy is starting to work. And it seems like the economic pain is beginning to hurt, which is why Italy elected a far-right, Putin sympathizer prime minister. It’s why Britain elected a prime minister further to the right of Johnson. And if France had their elections today, then I have no doubt Le Pen would have beat Macron; and, in fact, even Macron has been suggesting that Putin’s illegal war is a result of hurt feelings and being shunned by the West — poor Putty. Oh, not to mention Sweden. So, you see, f***tards, people really don’t want a functioning democracy. Get ready. Italy is like the first domino to fall. America’s RepubliKKKlan Party has been foreshadowing this trend for nearly ten years now. Oh, well. Be careful what you wish for, idiots. You just might get it! Welcome to stupid America! We’re next!

Voters Don’t Care: Survey Says (I Infer)

According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, “Issues don’t substantively differentiate intended turnout. For example, among registered voters who call abortion a top issue, 75 percent say they’re certain to vote, while among those who call the economy a top issue, an almost-identical 74 percent say they’ll vote. Indeed, on abortion, supporters of the Supreme Court ruling are more apt than its critics to say voting is more important to them in this election than in previous midterms, 73 vs. 64 percent. Also, 76 percent of the ruling’s supporters say they’re certain to vote, as are 70 percent of its opponents.”

I don’t know how many f***ing times I have to keep telling you f***tards. Abortion will not save Democrats in the midterms, and this poll is just one more data point that dumbass Democrats need to wake the f*** up. I know that they know it’s “the economy, stupid.” It always has been and always will be. People would rather be less free but have a paycheck. Review all of history or witness the world’s current state of affairs. Americans will not care about their freedoms until it’s too late. As long as they worry about money and jobs, then they are oblivious to their eroding liberties. If Americans lack said money and jobs, then they will gladly give up others’ freedoms (e.g., abortion rights) with great alacrity to safeguard their greed and lifestyles. Mark my words, morons. Oh, and f*** climate change, apparently!

Also reported in this survey is the tie in a Biden-traitor trump match-up because, of course! I’ve been saying this for years: People don’t care. Americans would happily welcome traitor trump back into office despite everything they have witnessed and know. The 2024 race would be as if nothing happened with COVID, January 6th, stolen secret documents, and everything else relating to traitor trump. Because America is too stupid to survive! I keep telling all you f***tards! The fact that traitor trump should ever be tied with Biden is incomprehensible unless one apprehends the abject stupidity of America. Then everything makes sense. And don’t think for one second that if (when) the next presidential election is close, RepubliKKKlans will steal it. They will not make the same mistakes as those in 2020. Mark my words, f***tards. Welcome to stupid America!
