Facebook Follies of Friends and Families

I'm guessing she hasn't read Saul Alinsky. 

[Syt]

That's actually from my brother in law. But yeah, no idea if he read him, either. He's also one who said (sarcastically, I assume) that Elon Musk as African-American being TIME's person of the year is a win for the BLM movement.

[The Brain]

Such wit. Much comedy.

[grumbler]

So, Syt, is your bro-in-law actually taking Growacet?  After all, there is no group whinier, more easily offended, and less able to take a joke than the MAGAts. "the media is all against us!" "twitter is violating our free speech rights!"  "they want to take away our guns!" "Stephen Colbert is such a meanie!" etc.

[Josquius]

I really don't know how Syt has the patience to save, reupload and post all these.

[Syt]

Those were from my oldest sister. And it's mostly just direct linking to the Facebook images, so not really much effort.

So that's why I don't see many of the images you post in this thread.

The second one baffles me. I would expect a R.E. Lee statue as illustration, not the Romanov family.

It's about arch-conservatives who thought they would change and destroy Russia's history or die trying.

Are there censored histories out there that leave out the Romanovs or something? And I don't have to teach my kids about them as they are pretty big historical celebrities with tons of Youtube videos and even a disney-ish cartoon about them. Next they will demand I intervene to keep the memory of Hitler alive.

As far as the first one that happens all the time with gas powered vehicles as well...eventually cars in a situation like that run out of fuel, especially as many of those cars would have less than full tanks at the time.

Their point though is that you can bring gas to them if that happens. Somehow.

You can't bring a charging station.

Except....if half the cars were electric....you could most definitely bring a charging station to them, at least there isn't any reason to imagine a emergency vehicle with the ability to charge another vehicle.....

You could also just finance proper winter service for your highways, but I guess that goes against rugged individualism that American conservatives love so much.

To be fair, a gas can is still a hell of a lot simpler solution than a portable charging station of any kind.  That emergency vehicle with a charger could carry 100 jerry cans of gas, and get 100 cars running in the amount of time it takes to pour it in the tank (as long as they didn't run completely dry).  An internal combustion engine vehicle is surely more robust to infrastructure catastrophes, as it's hard to beat the simplicity, portability, and energy density of gasoline.  That doesn't mean that we should make our infrastructure decisions solely based on robustness to infrastructure failures, however.

What that means is when the socialist take power (the Democratic Party, with AOC at its head, as supreme dictator or something ), there will be mass executions and internment/reeducation camp set up in the US.

It means that if you know your history, you will vote for the ultra-conservatives before the progressives, because history has taught us they are always benevolent people who don't go around murdering people for their political views.


If you don't remember this version of history, you apparently got the wrong books in school.     




i.e., it has nothing to do with the Romanovs specifically, just the danger of a socialist takeover in the US.  Apparently a very real possibility.  Very recent history has also taught us that radical leftist mobs are assaulting the Congress when they don't get the result they wanted.
