Journal by aristarchus

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.

              Is that what passes for evidence in your mind?

              Because to anyone living in the real world, your link is just a bunch allegations. Really stupid ones.

              Like why would someone living in California fly across the country to Delaware to have their laptop repaired, and leave it there for a year? That's the laptop with all the incriminating evidence on it. It is just unbelievable.

                      Really, um, stupid, allegations, which are not evidence, or facts. No matter how hard you believe, Kansas ain't coming back.

                      In fact, Kansas is revoking tenure [insidehighered.com], to make firing smart people easier and to save money, a continuation of the "Supply-Side" Economics of the Reagan/Brownback Mountain era, that believes that the more you dilute a state budget, the more powerful it will become. The have quit paving highways, and are now subsisting largely on roadkilled jackrabbits, but those are in short supply, because of the lack of paved highways. The Republican future looks bright!

                          Evidence is the beginning of a proof. Allegations are only the fevered spasms of alt-right brains twitching from fear and right wing media. Did you know, that All the Republican leadership in the Senate are member of a Witches Coven? Mostly for the sex, but then they also have granted "protection of religious freedom" legislation to allow Wiccans to use the blood of Christians in their rituals, under the full moon, with a goat. See? Allegations. Groundless and stupid allegations, but at least now you know that Senate Republicans are evil!!

                      The Delaware State Police were alerted... by Rudy Giuliani no less, yes, the guy who made the whole thing up.

                      Also the guy who claimed to have held onto the laptop for a whole year, for no good reason.

                      The world is still a globe, the sun still rises in the east, and Hunter Biden's laptop is still nonsense.
