a pre-existing theater of the absurd

“Amer­i­cans now be­lieve that hav­ing equal rights in a po­lit­i­cal sys­tem also means that each person’s opin­ion about any­thing must be ac­cept­ed as equal to any­one else’s. This is the cre­do of a fair num­ber of peo­ple de­spite be­ing ob­vi­ous non­sense. It is a flat as­ser­tion of ac­tu­al equal­i­ty that is al­ways il­log­i­cal, some­times fun­ny, and of­ten dan­ger­ous.”
—Tom Nichols, The Death of Ex­per­tise

“I don’t like be­ing told what I have to do.”
—Lib­er­tar­i­an, Moun­tain Home, AK

“I’m still not plan­ning on get­ting it”
—say to­tal dip­shits ru­in­ing things for the rest of us

So, hey!

Re­mem­ber back in 2016 when we were told that mock­ing stu­pid peo­ple was un­fair and wrong and not help­ful?

Five years lat­er, these are the same peo­ple in­gest­ing horse de­wormer.

When I first saw this I thought it read like an Onion ar­ti­cle but it was not the Onion.

Some­thing tells me that mock­ing them was nev­er re­al­ly the prob­lem.

And right now, not only are hos­pi­tals full to ca­pac­i­ty with these un­vac­ci­nat­ed ass­holes, but health care work­ers have to deal with peo­ple com­ing in who are lit­er­al­ly shit­ting out their own in­testi­nal lin­ing think­ing it’s worms.

They’re too stu­pid to re­al­ize the gov­ern­ment is the only thing stand­ing be­tween them and death be­cause they are so in­tent on killing them­selves – AND there are laws in place that re­quire us to stop at noth­ing to save these peo­ple.

We are watch­ing evo­lu­tion hap­pen right be­fore our eyes and it is fuck­ing sur­re­al.
