"Heads On Pikes!"

 h/t OddJob














You simply cannot hate the media enough.

"Heads On Pikes!" should become a national rallying cry, and ground reality in 50 states and 7 territories, until they live in mortal terror of discovery from coast to coast. They should be stoned, tarred and feathered with actual scalding hot tar, beaten mercilessly, and on many occasions, simply hung where they are found without relent or remorse.

If anyone thinks the comments after the death of the United Healthcare CEO were icily harsh, imagine the accolades that would be heaped on the first guy to take out a Communist News Network anchor, or run the coven on The Spew over a cliff. "What is the frequency, Kenneth?" parties should become a daily event. The nightly news should start to look like interviews with American aviators shot down over Baghdad in 1991.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of visigoths, and they have done more to corrode the republic than any other group, in a feat that cries to the heavens for unrelenting justified retribution. At least when cows crap on everything, we get fertilizer. The only way to get fertilizer from the media is to grind them up and sprinkle their remains on the fields.

Challenge accepted.

Most everyone in our society becomes a victim of one outrage or another...large, small, real or imagined. Many people, maybe most, accept the condition as a cost of living in our society. You have good neighbors and bad, you meet good people and bad.

Some people who are victimized are determined not to remain a victim, and will actively seek redress...seek justice. In our society, some see justice as obtained through the courts. The courts, however, do not dispense justice, but rather the rule of law. If you have a lot of money, you can find justice through the court system...a lot of money. For the vast majority of our population, this is not an avenue to redress.

Sooo, what to do? How do you approach a corporation or large bureaucracy with any hope of success? The court system is not a viable avenue...they have OPM and echelons of lawyers ready to bankrupt you or delay proceedings until you go away, or die. Short of legal options, there is what I have referred to as "asymmetrical tort reform". Luigi Mangione addressed the problem at it's core...addressing the shot-caller directly. Will there be positive results? Will other shot-callers, whose lives become burdensome with hired security, much less freedom of movement, and continued vigilance change their bottom line -driven decisions to reflect a more just corporate stance? Maybe, to some degree.

I am not advocating this method of redress, just describing how and why it might exist.

In all seriousness, that is an unfair slur on the Visigoths. They weren't trying to bring down Roman civilization, weren't notably savage, were probably heavily Romanized and Christianized before they ever entered they Empire, and I think that had the Roman bureaucracy been less venal and more wise, they could have been an asset to the Empire instead of destabilizing it. The Visigoths weren't the villains of Late Antiquity, more like tragic anti-heroes, caught between the Huns and a very disfunctional Roman government.
The Vandals, OTOH, are a much better comparison...

On an entirely different note, have you read anything about the respiratory disease that seems to be spreading on the Congo-Angola border?

Nope, and frankly couldn't care less, because the internet cabal of idiot savants will all self-congratulate themselves that "It's just the flu", right up until they're being zipped into body bags, or immolated in corpse pyres.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

When any form of African Ooga Booga bleeding-out-your-eyes disease shows up in the front door of my ED, I'm quietly walking to the time clock, and clocking out, on the spot.

The stupid fuckers who think they can stay and play in that shit can count me out next time. One pandemic per lifetime is quite enough, and we're due for another one, inevitably, because most people were morons the last time around.

The Death Vaxx is a deliberate disaster, and the people who foisted it should hang, but I really wish we'd left everything business-as-usual during COVID, until it had killed another 10M or so of the total @$$holes who still think it wasn't real.

Instead, having both over-reacted and under-reacted, we'll try that "just the flu" nonsense next time, having inoculated people to common sense, and it will kill 10M-20M. Minimum. It'll take that many before the stupid people get beaten to death for piping up, and then the adults in the room will take over.

I'll be watching from far away, behind sandbags and concertina, and we can let the dipshits see how their plan works out. From a safe distance, it's going to be fun to watch. The sooner the smart people realize they're on their own, the better for all concerned. The people who think they can have their cake and eat it too, and stay and play in whatever comes, are going to self-select right out of the gene pool, and it's long overdue. Nature doesn't give a shit about stupid people's opinions, and it's time to stop saving them or listening to them.

Someday, people are going to realize the Black Death and smallpox were among Nature's greatest gifts to mankind, like a giant dose of ipecac to humanity's excess, and whittling off the left half of the IQ bell curve. The same ones who had villas in Pompeii.
