SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
Not, again, a philosophical journal entry, though, I have been thinking about the possibility of one on the notion of causation. Instead, I am here to make a plea for our lesser Soylentils. We have several members of our lusty band of freebooters who are much put under by recent American politics. One might say that the ground has moved under them, that the gyre has turned their world skew ways. I am here to suggest that we all be gentle with them, for a while. Yes, it is tempting to kick them when they are down, to rub the mendacity of their god-emperor in their faces, and mock them for their stupidity and gullibility, and all such is well deserved. But, as hard as it may be, try to put yourself in their position. Yes, I know, nearly impossible, since almost no one could be that stupid, but I am asking you to try.
First off, our dear TMB has been posting journal entries non-stop, attempting to regain his remembered fantastical past of winning what he considered "debates" on-line. We should not just yet disturb this illusion, as it is a coping device, and may well allow the Mighty Buzzard to return to sanity. Indulge him, and me, for the time being. Yes, what he says is not true, and he has no verifiable evidence for any of it, but, for now, let him be. The Truth will out.
Runaway has not so much gone off the deep end, as remained in it, which is strange since that is usually called the shallow end of the gene pool. Guns, all about guns. And abortion. And, leather jackets, rolling coal, not recycling, anything to "stick it to the libs". The best thing we can do right now, for our dear Runaway1956, is to pretend to be outraged by what he says. The worst thing that could happen to him is to be mocked, ridiculed, and ignored. So help out a fellow Soylentil! Take umbrage at Runaway's journals! Call him names and hate him muchly! That will make him feel better, while the reality of having lost the soul of America sinks in. Be gentle with him.
VLM, khallow, and hemocyanin, not much we can do for them. Fluids, vitamins, downmods, and wait for the end. And Ethanol_Fueled has already been taken out by a Jewish Space Laser, or so I hear from the super intelligent and in-the-know Marjorie Taylor Greene. So long, Eth, was not that great to know you, but you will be missed.
And for all the "Conservative" ACs: look, dudes (and dudettes, though I feel those are few and far between), it is time to decide whether your cos-play hobby is starting to cost you more than the bennies it provides. Family ostracizing you? Check. Lost your job after being outed as a Capitol Rioter? Check. No dates with normal women? Check. Might be time to rethink that whole "3% violent revolution" thing. We are here for you, as you wind down, and come back to reality. First thing, you know, dark matter may not be what you think it is. Just saying. We're pulling for you! And, not like that.

That is exactly my point. But you can't recognize or acknowledge any Dem crimes.
Abortion is the number one killed of children in the United States.

Um, because there weren't any? What are you going on about, old man? Is this like Reagan recalling his combat experience in WWII? Stuff that never happened? Like Reagan forgetting the battle he was in was part of a movie, and you forgetting that the accusations of Dem crimes was just Reptilians projecting and saying, ya, but whatabout???

Jesus, you're stupid AND blind. Dems were rioting all around Washington at the 2017 inauguration. I've posted links already. Do your own search.

So did any of them storm the Capitol building, breach the perimeter, go inside, start hunting down politicians, demand for an election to be overturned, etc etc etc? :) Juuuuust asking!

I'm loving how careful they are not to talk about their attempted insurrection now that people are facing legal consequences. What a bunch of spineless cowards, but then again pretty obvious from his nick.

If there were any justice in this world, these people would start choking on the contents of their own large intestines every time they started to spew a load of self-serving shit like that.

Strange, every aristarchus submission about the arrests of rioters has been declined! It is almost as if there was censorship on SoylentNews, and Spam modding of posts referencing Socialist sites.

Why on earth would I do that? I am not searching for links to something that did not happen, or only happened on Fox News. I am not an idiot, or delusional, or suffering from PTTSD (Post Traumatic Trump Stress synDrome). And I don't see what your point is, Runaway. What are you really trying to say? Let us know how you really feel about the attempted fascist coup on the United States of America, its Congress and Constitution.
