Day 235: Damage
I woke up at 3:44 a.m. Considering I fell asleep around 1:30 a.m., it should be apparent that I feel like hot garbage.
Twenty-four years ago today, I was fast asleep at 3:44 a.m.
By the time I accepted the fact that I would not fall back asleep today, it was a little after 6 a.m. and I got up to write.
Twenty-four years ago today, it was around this time that I was ripped from sleep by my boyfriend whose I’m-a-morning-person ass knew better than to ever wake me up.
“Wake up, baby. It’s bad.”
It’s bad. One of the most verbose people I’ve ever known, and he was stunned into
IT’S BAD.
That was a day of political violence, which obviously we all condemn. Right?
Yesterday two high schoolers were shot by a fellow student who later turned the gun on himself. I think him. It’s usually a him. I’m not sure if this was an act of political violence or not, so I don’t know if I’m supposed to condemn it. It might be one of those shootings we have to just accept as the cost of protecting our 2nd Amendment Rights.
This didn’t get much press, because it happened in that window of time between when CK was shot and when he was pronounced dead.
I didn’t plan to write anything about him, because everyone has something to fucking say about it, and frankly I’m already sick of hearing about it.
Because here-we-fucking-go.
Every Democrat, eager to pronounce their never-ending EMPATHY will post their Ts and Ps and they will, of course, condemn political violence. AGAIN.
In spite of their continued, and futile efforts to be seen as the takers of the high road, Democrats (aka Radical Left Lunatics) will be condemned by MAGAts as literally causing his death with their woke-lib rhetoric about how Radical Right Lunatics (who are radical, far-right and utterly lunatic) are radical, far-right, fascist, nazis.
We’ve unpacked that hypocrisy to death, so I’m gonna skip it.
Speaking of death: CK had one yesterday.
CK was a terrible person. A bigot, a racist, a misogynist, and a far-right cult leader. Turning Point is a motherfucking cult. Full stop.
That is not the same statement as “Woohoo!! I love political violence! There is always a place for it in Amerikkka fuck yeah!”
Someone dying, even in a brutal way, even by murder, does not turn them into a good person.
Hey Dems, remember when you were trying to figure out how you could reach those angry, disaffected young white men who are always feeling so left out? Well, they were out there being radicalized and indoctrinated into a nationalist christian (or Nat-C) cult by CK.
Dems, we are never getting credit for being the “better person.” Never. Ever. Not once, not at any time, how many more ways can I say it? Never ever ever, with more evers than T-Swift has about all her exes put together.
Anyone who chose to enable, coddle, embolden, or “wait it out” with the TACO Tits regime and play bipartisan footsie with MAGAts is guilty of committing political violence on every human being in this country.
Everyone who collaborates with, turns a blind eye to, or claims powerlessness in the face of the Department of Homeland Sadism is committing political violence on us. Good thing 24 years ago today, an act of political violence led American Fear to grant DHS and the Executive Branch (aka war-mongering President) more unchecked power.
Everyone who continues to throw money at Israel to commit genocide on Palestinians, while trying to silence everyone who calls it out for what it is, is engaging in massive political violence.
So you can miss me with that shit about how political violence is never acceptable. Because apparently it is not only acceptable, it is mandatory if you want to hold political power in the USA.
CK was a shitty person. I don’t feel bad for him. I don’t feel bad for his wife, who made a choice to marry him, so she’s probably a bigot too. If you’re not, it’s really fucking hard to stay married to one.
I feel bad for his kids. It’s not their fault their dad is – was – a nazi. I can deeply empathize with that. I do hope his kids grow up and leave the cult. I hope they become woke, gay, trans leftist drag queens who only date people of color and have mixed race babies with them and dilute the white race and also educate everyone about how race is a social construct invented by white people whose only flex is a pasty meat suit, so they could dominate, control, enslave and dehumanize people who have more resilient skin and aren’t getting melanoma after being outside for ten minutes.
We all know CK said that a few gun deaths were the price we must pay for our 2A rights. At least he gets to be a martyr to one of his favorite causes.
Some of his other favorite things were racism and bigotry. He died as he lived – saying racist and transphobic shit.
In closing, here is a quote from the late not-great CK:
“I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up new age term, and it causes a lot of damage.”
Etymology aside, which disproves his bonkers theory that this is a new age term, technically, all words are made up.
Empathy is not something we have to have to for all people, at all times, or it ceases to exist.
No amount of gaslighting will change that.
My empathy is for all the people harmed by the kind of vile garbage CK spewed and profited from. He made a fortune and a name off his hate.
But I can find it in my heart to respect the wishes of the dead.
CK would not want me to have empathy for him or his family.
It causes a lot of damage.
And I wouldn’t want to cause any damage. Kinda feels like political violence.
Which, obviously, I condemn.
This is how I feel thank you for expressing it for me. I’m tired of being gaslit into thinking I should feel for the Nazi. I don’t. I think he died the way he lived. And honestly this feels like a false flag and I wouldn’t be surprised if it is. Not that we will ever know the truth because buttlips is corrupt as fuck.
