What if… we didn’t have public schools at all, but private schools and church schools who would offer schooling to those who needed it and request money from the congregation as needed?
Have been seeing a lot more small schools tied to churches popping back up. No/minimal public schools might be a nice development.
What would this mean, specifically?
Are the governors back over state militias? Wouldn’t that require undoing the Militia Act of 1903?
How would “Biden” be blocking the states from enforcing their borders if that was the case?
Isn’t the National Guard deployed internationally right now?
I like the idea, so many questions, though.
Which post was this?
“God” is not God’s Name.
It is a generic term.
I’ve wondered about that third part.
Really throws me for a loop. I don’t entirely know how to process it.
This is exactly what I was getting at, just applied in the other direction lol
“Hitler is literally Trump.”
A thought experiment … let’s take a step back here.
What if it was true that Trump was “literally” Hitler, and “literally Hitler” just doesn’t mean what we tend to think it does?
It is painfully obvious that he is not “Hitleresque in reality” - out to exterminate people, enact eugenics, “conquer Europe”, etc. (Leave your “truth of Hitler” at the door, please. Let’s operate within the prevailing narrative, here). This tends to be where we get defensive, as a lot of meanings are associated to those things that we don’t support, nor do we believe that Trump supports them (and we believe our opponents do support them).
What if what “literally Hitler” actually means, is that when the “Actual Nazis” who work at “The Atlantic” write about him in [their] literature, [they] and [their subscribers] would focus on literarily calling him “Hitler”, for literary propaganda purposes, in their literature? (Sub scribe ers… the people under the spell of their scribings?)
I.e. I’m being redundant here to emphasize literally “literally”.
Since they control nearly all corporate media, it would effectively mean that he was to be called Hitler and have all his actions referred to as Hitleresque and be given character motivations corresponding to Hitler whenever he was written about in their publications, which again is all of them, as part of one of the biggest propaganda pushes in all of history.
HONK.
propaganda (n.) 1718, "committee of cardinals in charge of foreign missions of the Catholic Church,". The word is properly the ablative fem. gerundive of Latin propagare "set forward, extend, spread, increase" (see propagation).
Hence, "any movement or organization to propagate some practice or ideology" (1790). The modern political sense ("dissemination of information intended to promote a political point of view") dates from World War I, originally not pejorative or implying bias or deliberate deception. Meaning "material or information propagated to advance a cause, etc." (1929)
To put it another way, what if the phrase “literally Hitler” is all about [their] intentions, and not about Trump’s?
(If any of this is troubling, reread it very carefully with double meanings in mind. It’s difficult to shift word meanings in writing, and I’m not sure this accomplished that goal)

Perfect example of what I mean in comment below
Thanks! I was just about to look these back up.
This probably qualifies as the least shocking “shocking” news to ever be published in the history of news.
Right up there with “Elton John comes out as homosexual.” “Chris Christie likes eating at Golden Corral.” “Michelle Obama’s dong is bigger than Barack’s.”
‘Scuse my sarcasm, but NO WAY!
Oh please, is Ian really going to try and claim that someone who would create perfectly normal, spiritually uplifting art like this

Is operating a gay sex trafficking network? Is this the kind of conspiracy theorist lunacy that passes as research these days?
Psssh
LOL!!!
Let’s all issue our own Dollar Bill Bills
Brilliant post!
“We could never fake a company being publicly traded when it wasn’t, or shares of ownership in a company being fake when they weren’t. That would never happen. Everything is legitimate.”
Like Angel Studios?
And rising! Almost $34/oz yesterday, wasn’t it?
Kamala steps to the front of the church
Dims the lights
Spotlight on her face
“I’m here to worship god”
Slaps a baby with the umbilical cord still attached down on the pulpit
Pulls out two carving knives
Worship ensues
She doesn’t anger me the way that she angers people who don’t understand that she’s completely fake, but whatever that thing is, it doesn’t worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would never enter a righteous church for holy purposes.
… some cities have installed the purple lights, but churches?
What is going on with that?
Yeah I get that but, “I don’t want you to have to pay $45,000 a year in taxes.”
“But that scares me!!! You’re just insane! That’s it! You’re a crazy man who thinks taxes are bad! We won’t be able to drive! Our enemies will all kill us! We’ll get sick from being poisoned.”
“That’s all happening right now, because of your taxes, you retard.”
“YOU’RE CRAZY!!! I’m going over here to sit with all my normal tax paying friends!”
I don’t understand the mindset of the victims.
Second verse, same chorus, this time with Whitney Houston.

Awesome singer. Shame her head was unscrewed.
Yeah I liked that breakdown thread you had a few days ago. Did you pull that from your town’s operating budget pdf?
