This should end any secret Democrat strategy sessions.
Symbolically, Burning Man 2023 looks like the New Age Nazis have gotten stuck by the weather, just like their German counterparts did outside of Stalingrad, before them. All Trump has to do now is find a decent running mate to attack these people, and "the right side of history" should win.
Can we leave them all there, and just say they're in a Gulag, somewhere?
One of society's problems is, while everybody else is arguing about principles, NewAge cultists are free to go about their business - and do. But, recent events keep indicating - now that Trump is president - that might be coming to an end through natural causes. Like now that Dorothy's stolen ruby slippers have been returned! "Whoa" (you might be thinking, pondering if I'm crazy) "now what do they have to do with anything, Mr. I Hate NewAge?" to which I would sagely answer:
While symbolism might not matter much to atheists, it's powerful juju to the superstitious, and this - an "actual" item from "Oz," stolen in the wicked year 2005, but returned to "reality" in 2018 - definitely could signal an ending to the last era of magical thinking for many believers.
At least that's the hope. TMR also hopes those witches out there "binding the president" are paying attention: The Universe doesn't seem to be at one with you.
This could be true, but the appearance of insanity's not a concern, because - while TMR would hate to "look crazy" when discussing what having black American citizen's dead bodies hanging, formally, in public areas could possibly mean today - it's a risk any good blog would be willing to take. That's why we're speaking. Scratching an itch.
So, on to lynching:
Photographing the KKK and nooses together? Pure coincidence.
There's racial symbolism all over America, but if whites "don't even THINK about race," it's obvious, ignorance of the meaning - behind their culture's main mechanism for keeping white supremacy in place - would possibly escape them, today.
Photographing FOX News and nooses together? Pure coincidence.
The colorblind won't look at what's happened to produce us - so blacks endure it alone.
It just reveals, further, that whites have learned one line of an MLK speech and call their interpretation of it "civil rights,"orblack history - which is sad.
America's black citizens could always get ahead - on a stake.
What's sad is, TMRknows none of this depriving-blacks-of-justice business is "unintentionally" happening, but is in perfect concert with all that's come before - and that includes the white's excuses for maintaining it - the results being the same as the racists intended.
"Nice little July 4th you had there - be a shame if something happened to it, huh?"
No, a picture of a hanged man doesn't cover "every stupid point" being made, but - since our murdered dead never got to do anything else in life - TMR says they still speak directly to this nation's racial truth, compared to too many of America's other more attractive (and possibly more image conscious) representatives today:
After the Civil War was 100 proud years of America at it's best.
And honestly, since white America's lynching of blacks are hardly mentioned today - but covers most of their history here - if anyone's "crazy" (or needs a dose of shame) it likely ain't TMR,...
Lupe Fiasco got kicked off stage for criticizing Obama - fine. Stupid all around, but fine. If that's what it takes for these morons on the Right to notice Rap, I'll take it, but only as a further demonstration of how politically off-base our side is, in outlook, strategy, and (most importantly) results.
An ego boost, maybe, if you're a very small person.
If you accept the notion that Rap acts as some sort of Black CNN, contrast his Lupe fiasco (heh) with what's really going on in conservative minds - and compare that with what the unnoticed Kanye West (another Obama "knucklehead") has had going on all along:
From a pop culture point of view, it is interesting to note that [Kanye's] short-film, intended to be viewed by the general public (especially young people), describes the concept of power with overt Masonic symbolism and occult references. This causes the uninformed viewers to unconsciously associate those symbols with the concept of Power, while “those in the know” get the “insider’s wink” sent by this video. Power ultimately becomes another piece in the on-going process called the “Revelation of the Method,” where the true source of power gradually and subliminally reveals itself to the world and occult rituals take place right in front of the public’s eyes.
How long before the complete revelation?
Or - asked another way - how long before conservatives discover what's a threat? Where it's coming from? What's got legs and is *truly* politically exploitable? Lupe's to the left of Obama - and mad about it. Big deal. Kanye's bigger than he is, and Kanye (or someone working on his behalf) has multiple daily "occult rituals take place right in front of the public’s eyes" specifically as a way of getting subversive ideas into the minds of their kids. And it's working like a charm. Mom.
If you ask this conservative, a real "teaching moment" should be in order,…
