The Donald vs Big Tech

No no no, metal is for real men, none of this gender bending shit, it's for real men with long hair, who like to wear leather and studs and get all sweaty in a room with other real men, none of this gay shit you see nowadays, it's for men who like to sing along to songs like War Pigs and Hell Bent for Leather, no woke shit  .

Here's a bit fromsomething I was reading about the Woke Right. Thought it was good and could also be applied to the Irish situation these days...

I call em "Woke Right" because they've awoken to the real truth that the rest of us just don't get. They're obnoxious/condescending like the woke left... Not averse to doxxing/mob tactics... Communicate en masse by repeating talking points... And dissent gets you excommunicated

They are the "Real Patriots" So if we disagree, we're disloyal...we're traitors Politics is performative...policy wins are for the RINO scum...anything short of "draining the swamp" is insufficiently woke And anybody that doesn't embrace isolationism is a warmongering WW3 neocon

But they actually hate America...for different reasons than the woke left...yet in the end they reach the same conclusion The US is actually the source of all that's bad in the world. Unsee-able forces have made America evil So we must tear it all down and rebuild in their image

Yet they share a common fatal flaw w/ the woke left. Common sense...truth...reality And some of us on the right aren't afraid to point out the obvious It's not about disagreements on ideology/policy It's a pattern of behavior That's what wokeness is...indulgent self-righteousness

Trump has tipped Mike Huckabee as his ambassador to Israel. First ever non-Jewish pick for the role if that's the case. Instead, this is a raging Evangelical Christian, a former church minister in fact. Has previously been outspoken on Israel's "rightful claim" to the West Bank.

The logical conclusion of Q

I need a fucking book or something

I need a fucking book or something

Found one of the books in the replies. Started reading it. Three pages in and thinking about how it's the same oul shit 100 years later.

Must be time travel

If you're looking for an appropriate book to read at this time, may I recommend the MAGA Middle East playbook: it's called the Book of Revelations.

In related news:
Trump has nominated former Fox News presenter Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. Hegseth, who served at Guantanamo and defended the treatment of inmates held there, also has prominent 'Deus Vult' and Jerusalem cross tattoos, both symbols of the Crusades.

[astfgyl]

Already have that read would you believe

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Good stuff, then you know the events they're literally endeavouring to bring about. Let's keep going with the MAGA pick for UN Ambassador:

I had saved a long thread on exactly this about a year ago and basically trump was the antichrist in it. I dunno how to search that far back but I might have thrown it in the theories thread here I'll see if I can dig it out

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Trump isn't the Antichrist because there is no Antichrist: that's mythology. What there is, however, is people who believe Armageddon (as a prerequisite to the Second Coming of Christ) is not only coming but that they are called to usher it in. The most powerful among those people are part of MAGA. No conspiracy: they happily say it on camera in interviews.

[astfgyl]

You're not mistaking me for a believer, are you?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

No, not mistaking you for a believer, just recalling an important distinction between noise (e.g. conspiracies in which any given individual is identified as "the antichrist") and signal (e.g. real world events nevertheless determined by the known mythological beliefs of some of the most powerful individuals on earth).

People who believe in Armageddon and who believe they are called to usher it in, and said so on camera. Please, a link it you have one.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Over the last year, I have several times recommended that people watch Praying For Armageddon, you'll find a couple of instances of this therein.

But who, just regular joes or one of Trump's appointees?
