I believe the cultural rot that has given us the dysfunction we see today began decades ago. This suggests to me it will take a long time for things to heal.
"Eat the birds bitch!!" That's getting added to the dialogue with a work buddy in IM's. We are convinced we've not been fired, for our last 4 years of irreverent and extreme non-pc dialogue, because it's just way to entertaining to the monitors and transcribers (Teams calls).
"Chimped out"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Getting this back - It will take at least 50 years. I count generations differently than the legacy convention - because the indoctrination and Overton window shifting, that is started in "K" of K-12, is activated in society effectively, in 1st grade (5-6 yrs old). That means their support, addition to the momentum of the agenda and activism counts. As they make it to adulthood, they do their share of ideological, emotional and sexual grooming of each year level behind them.
That means we have to overcome numbers that far, far outpace us.
I did the numbers 4 years ago and suggested that if the grooming was only 50% effective, then we would turn out 12 million new brainwashed 18 year old's per year in America (graduation numbers were taken from 2019- so pre-covid).
This is simply a numbers game and we are woefully behind. Not only will we need to outpace their numbers of yearly brainwashed kids, but we'll also need to overcome the numbers that are out there now. And as you said, many conservatives will cower for comfort and convenience - the kumbaya effect.
In the same way the left has made militant perversion normal, we need to make militant normalcy normal. That means going to extremes like executions for pedophiles and child trafficker. Want to see conservatives squirm - just let Trump throw that one out there or Matt Gates as AG. However, if we do not make these conservative guard rails normal, then the baseline we operate from stays in the middle of pervert/crazy town.
I told Holly earlier in the week that I had a dim unsettled memory of dark puppetry in Minneapolis when I lived there in the late 90s - early 00s. I finally felt gathered enough to go look it up.
"We are a world-renowned theater recognized for our large scale puppets and political activism."
It just gets sillier and more unhinged from there. My main memory of this outfit is that I was sitting on a hiring committee where I worked and a prospective employee told us during her interview that a non-negotiable condition of taking the job was that she needed six weeks off in April and May so she could go do puppets.
We didn't hire her, but that was 2001. Who knows now.
YouTube calls them "copyright strikes", but that's not what they are. Youtube has come to contractual agreements with all the major record labels, film and TV companies, and book publishers. These contracts state (essentially) that Youtube can either monetize a user's video who uses any content from these publishers and send that money to the publisher, or delete the video, or give a "Strike" to the user, or ban the user entirely, solely at the discretion of the copyright holder, independently of the actual copyright law. So, yes, the law says there exists fair use for criticism, or education, or news reporting, etc. But the contracts with the publishers that Youtube has have no mention of this. If you share a one-second clip from a Disney movie, and you get caught by the bots, and Disney says ban the user, you're banned. Most companies are cool, though, and either let it slide or monetize it, or simply have the video taken down.
Wow. That puppet museum is horrifying. A fascinating connection -- there's something similar in Richmond, Virginia. A theater company called "All the Saints Theater Company" who put on an annual Halloween Parade featuring giant disgusting puppets made of trash and push far left activist talking points. Just looked it up-- apparently the founder of All the Saints apprenticed with Bread & Puppet! For a look at this "parade" check out the 15 minute mark of this video: https://youtu.be/-LZ-clWm3nY?si=4vBIGZ8qbH84lNbj
I’m not sure why but the first thing that that puppet shit brings to my mind is hideous modernist Catholic art. It looks like some godawful Nativity scene in a brutalist church built in the 70s where banjo masses are celebrated. With God’s help and the passing of the May ‘68 & Woodstock generation, Western culture will move on from the passion for soul-destroying ugliness that will have consumed the better part of a century.
Yeah. But then rumble is not acessible in Brasil because our Supreme Court has decided so out of thin air (Brazilian constitution explicitly bans censorship, and the Supreme Court was supposed to be the Guardians of the Constitution... go figure!).
But don't worry. I have this fundamental tool to have in our Overly Democratic societies: The VPN!
Josh you're not some evil woman hater. You're being honest of a cultural phenomenon that has taken hold over the past 20 years. Much of it is due to our educational system, parenting styles and culture. Since little girls they've been taught that men make the lives of women miserable. And with no parental correction they become adults thinking men hate women and that they will spend their lives under the "thumb of the man." That's why the majority of the crazy left videos are women.
Strong women make strong mothers and great people to work with. They're not threaten by men but they compliment men. Sure there are sadistic psycho men out there to avoid, but they're not the majority. And they aren't the typical man that voted for Trump.
Very funny. You should start doing standup comedy...
On a side note: NEVER patronize any establishment with "Bread" anywhere in the name. True story: Went to a restaurant once called Bread & Porridge. "What type of porridge do you have?" I asked. "We don't serve porridge," said the waiter. "It's only in the name." They had bread though...
Equal treatment being oppression is the entire basis of current feminism. How much "reproductive rights" does a man have? None at all. And I have yet to hear a stronk woman say she'd take 18 years of wage garnishment over 9 months of discomfort.
I remember bread and puppet, going with my hippie sister in the early 90s. Can't wait for this ride!
It's so grim. I was not aware of what I was walking into.

Great show as always.
Thanks:)
That dialogue: "Eat the bird, bitch!" is from John Waters' "Pink Flamingos."
Your delivery will live on the improv stage of my mind, no matter where it came from.

Can't believe bread and puppet isn't a mecca for horror enthusiasts.
