So the only way you can say you aren’t a liberla at all is if you think Nazi Germany had the right idea.

I made this video because a right-wing hardliner left a comment calling me a LibTard amongst other things.
I get pretty hot and start cussing a lot in this video, but It’s not because of the things he/she called me.

The use of the term LibTard (liberal retard) got me to wondering if the word liberal was in the same boat as Socialism. I know what the right wingers think it means, but I got to wondering if it might not also be another word that they throw around without even really knowing what it means.

So I looked it up and this video is what came of that.

What really got me mad was the fact so many people are using these words without even having a clue what they actually mean.
With the internet there is no reason not to know. Only excuses.

Honestly the stupidity of the right wing voters astounds me. Do they even understand what socialism is? Or is this just another convenient “big scary political word” that’s being thrown around without anyone actually taking 10 seconds to look up what it means on wikipedia (anywhere, but wiki is fast and usually is good enough for a quick read up).

Here is the Wiki definition of Socialism. I will add comments for those who have a hard time understanding.

Socialism refers to the various theories of economic organization (ideas about the economy, not really society as a whole, which is something the right winger lie about) which advocate either public or direct worker ownership and administration of the means of production and allocation of resources. (They think the people should own and control things instead of a few super rich dudes).

A more comprehensive definition of socialism is an economic system that has transcended commodity production and wage labor, where economic activity is carried out to maximize use-value as opposed to exchange-value and thus a corresponding change in social and economic relations, including the organization of economic institutions and resource allocation; often implying advocacy for a method of compensation based on the amount of labor expended.
(The current economy is based on how high a company can price it’s goods, regardless of how valuable they actually are, workers are paid based on time spent working, rather than the quality of their work.
Socialist economic ideals are workers being paid based on how valuable they are, and how hard they work, and products having price tags that reflect how useful and valuable they actually are.
That is probably what scares corporations more than anything. They would no longer be able to charge you 20 dollars for a CD that cost less than 1, and that is only a very simple example.

Right wing speakers will try to scare people by saying this form of economy will make the country poor(er). Comparatively, this is true, but only on paper. Compared to only a few decades ago the average person in the USA is already poorer. The current economy only looks rich for those benefiting from the high prices and inflation. The business people sitting in their high rise offices.
My mother has oft told me of a burger place where she and her siblings could go and get 10 burgers or 10 fries for $1, now you can’t even get one for that price (fuck dollar menus, you still have to pay sales tax!).
The Minimum wage yearly earnings and the annual cost of living have not been balanced since the 50-60s. The majority of people in this country work for minimum wage, or not much more.
So, to repeat my point, we are already a poor county in every way that counts.)

Most socialists share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through exploitation, creates an unequal society, does not provide equal opportunities for everyone to maximize their potential, and does not utilize technology and resources to their maximum potential nor in the interests of the public.
(our current economic type is capitalist, which trys to sell the dream that anyone can become a rich person if they try hard enough, while at the same time concentrating as much wealth as possible in as few hands as possible, thus keeping the majority of people reliant on them for everything.
They take advantage of the fact they pay everyone by keeping their prices high, and the wages low. Making sure as much of the money keeps coming back into their pockets as possible.
They also ignore advances in technology that improve quality of product, send jobs that are needed here to other countries where they can produce more product for less, and generally do whatever they can to keep their profits high, even when what they are doing is harmful to the economy and the general public.)
Hmmm, more power to the people, and less to corp-rat fat cats that don’t care what happens to us as long as they maintain their profit margins. Sounds pretty good to me. I see nothing scary here at all.

Now lets look at the other side.
Fascists seek to organize a nation on corporatist perspectives; values; and systems such as the political system and the economy.
(The republicans are a party of rich people, for rich people.)
Fascists identify violence and war as actions that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality.
(While I will not try to say the left never sends us to war, the republicans seem unable to have someone in office that isn’t either sending us to war, or trying to.)

Fascists claim that culture is created by collective national society and its state, that cultural ideas are what give individuals identity, and thus rejects individualism.
(They think being part of ‘the group’ is more important than being yourself. If they can control what ‘the group’ is, all the better.)

(1)Fascism rejects and resists autonomy of cultural or ethnic groups who are not considered part of the fascists’ nation and who refuse to assimilate or are unable to be assimilated.
(2)Fascists consider attempts to create such autonomy as an affront and threat to the nation.
(Similar to the last point, but more dangerous. This is the ‘with us or you’ll be visited by people in black clothes at 3am and never be heard from again’ mentality.
I will do this one as a point-by-point.
1- autonomy means ‘by yourself’, or individual. In this case it means any kind of attempt to be different from ‘the group’. Music, art, religion, sexuality, and anything else that does not fit the view of ‘the group’ is looked at as wrong. Which leads to…
Point -2 Anyone trying to maintain any of those things is considered a threat to ‘the group’.
Currently this takes the form of the right wing creating fear of anything that threatens their views. Unfortunately, their aren’t that many steps from media generated fear, to those 3am visits from people in black clothes.)

In viewing the nation as an integrated collective community, fascists claim that pluralism is a dysfunctional aspect of society, and justify a totalitarian state as a means to represent the nation in its entirety.
(Since they think the nation should be the focus of everyone, they have no problem with the idea of getting rid of competing political parties, and even doing away with voting all together)

Totalitarian regimes or movements maintain themselves in political power by means of an official all-embracing ideology and propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that controls the state, personality cults, control over the economy, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread use of state terrorism.
( This is Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia. One government to rule them all and in the darkness bind them, if you will. One government, one nation controlled media (fox news is an example of a “news” agency controlled by a single political view), they tell you what to do, what to think, what to feel, and anyone that disagrees, disappears. To bring the whole post full circle, a trademark of the fascist/totalitarian method is using fear to lead and control people. Which is what the republicans have been caught red-handed doing.)

Now that we have actually looked at what socialism is, and looked at what the republican party actually is, which is really scary?

Obama may be spending a lot, but it was Bush that took us from the largest surplus in history to the largest deficit in history.

The republicans are the ones that let the corp-rats control everything.

Capitalism may have worked in the past, but their greed has outstripped their sense. They are willing to destroy us all in the name of profit margins.

Times have changed. What used to work obviously isn’t any more.

Time to try something different, and people need to get used to it, or we really will lose it all.

Of course, I’m an anarchist. I would be quite happy to see a world without a need for government and religion to keep the sheep in line.

I say quite a bit more in the video version:

Seaworld Whale Kills Trainer
Maybe the fact they are called killer whales should be a clue. Maybe the fact the whale in question has a violent history and has been invloved in two other deaths would be one as well.
Personally the only thing I don’t understand is why it’s still alive. When a big cat mauls someone, or a dog kills someone, even if it’s in self defense, the animal being put down is a fore gone conclusion.

Hummer going bye bye
Good. I hated the stupid things anyway.

C R Johnson Killed
Winter X-Games winner C R Johnson was killed when he hit his head while moving through a difficult area. The skier was only 26.
I’m not happy he is dead, not sad either. When you take risks, sometimes they cost you.

Superman Comic sales for a million, Batman comic sales days later for more
That might sound strange to some, after all they are just comics. However, we are talking about the comics Superman and Batman first appeared in.
Still, a great incentive to go garage saling this summer and keep a weather eye for anything that might be good.
Here are a few hints. Older comics tend to have very base colors. Look for low numbers. Early dates, and low prices (under a dollar) are also good indicators.
Odds of finding something? Low, but it never hurts to look.

I will wrap things up with a couple of movie related bits.
First the search for Captain America is on. I think I will be happy with the choice, as long as who ever it is can actually act. If they were to cast Shia Labouf, I will never watch the movie.
Second, the new version of the Karate kid is getting ready to make splashes. Whether it be gold, or mud is yet to be determined. Personally I will give it a chance. I like jackie chan, and I remember reading the smith boy actually practices martial arts, which is a good thing.
It looks like the basic plot is the same, only this time the single mother and her son moved to Beijing. Which actually makes a lot more sense than than the original.
On the other hand Kung Fu is Chinese, and Karate is Japanese, so that is something to nit pick over.

Apparently he didn’t leave the Olympics on his own, he was forced to leave.

“the USSA, in an effort to avoid USOC intervention, came to him with two options, according to sources: go home quietly and play the necessary political game, or go through a trial process and risk getting formally ejected. Lago, not wanting to torpedo any future Olympic opportunities, chose to return to New Hampshire instead of staying until the Closing Ceremony as planned, sources said.”

“He did something pretty foolish, but it’s nothing illegal,” Lago’s father, Michael, said”

How was it foolish? How is there a reason for an investigation in the first place?

This story just keeps getting stupider and stupider. What year is it? 2010? Could of fooled me, these people are acting like it’s the 50s again or something!

Long story short, he got some pictures taken of him fooling around at a club with an attractive young woman. Oooo, alert the press, a 22 year old snowboarder was having fun after winning a bronze medal at the Olympics!

My God! What the golly gee willikers is that young lady doing to him?!

Oh wow, she’s got his medal in her teeth, and has her mouth close to his fly. Lord, my retinas have been scarred for life!
What ever is the world coming to when 22 year old athletes don’t act like saints just because they are at the Olympics?!
This generation is so, so, soooo, DEGENERATE!

Really?
Let’s get something straight here, the athletes haven’t changed, the ability to record them has. Not that long ago a bouncer could keep the press out of the clubs because they had to lug around big bulky cameras. Now anyone with a cellphone can snap shots of anyone, doing anything, anywhere.

I mean, we are talking about people that make a living playing games, and doing things most people leave behind in high school, except maybe as a hobby. They are not heroes. I’m kinda tired of the way people put athletes up on pedestals. What have they ever really done to deserve the praise they get, or the ridicule for that matter?
Instead of focusing on a career in the “long view” they choose to work their asses’ off training for fame and fortune early in life, they hope.

Now I am not trying to take away their hard work. Nor their dedication. I’m sure before events the top competitors are the picture of “good behavior”, but why do so many people seem to think they should be like that all the time?

They are still human. Scotty Lago was done at the Olympics. He competed and won a Medal, he deserved to have his celebration. What did he get? Embarrassed by some dick wad with a camera, and an early trip back home as his way of apologizing for something he shouldn’t need to apologize for.

Some people even think he should have is medal taken away.

FUCK YOU, and your puritanical outlook.
Like you weren’t fingering yourself to thoughts of the high school jocks every night, or wishing you could get some ass they way they could.

Grow the fuck up.

First there was the Snowboarder that got bitched out about not dressing formal, and making a statement that the Olympics are just another competition to him. He was forced to make a public apology over this. Why? He’s a snowboarder. It’s not like the snowboarding community doesn’t already have the X-Games.

Then there’s the thing about the hockey player with the painted helmet. Ok, he has Miller time on there, that one I understand, but the rest of the stuff was patriotic, or a tribute. How is that a problem?

Then there was a story from the last winter Olympics about a guy that was banned from that years competitions because he was using a drug to try and keep from going bald. BALD! How in the flying fuck is that going to do anything to his ability to compete?!

Today a female luger (one who is in the luge) can’t compete because she was .2kg off on extra weight for her gear. Apparently if they weigh less than 75kg they can bring up to 75% of the difference in extra weight to even things up with the larger competitors. She was off by less than half a pound.
Should she have made damn sure before she went? Yes, but that is no reason to kick her from the event instead of letting the extra weight be removed.

I am so very sorry, but the Olympics has gotten out of control with all the damn regulations, rules, and everything else. Like everything else it’s become a way for a city to make a shit load of money, it’s not about the athletes anymore, it’s about who can walk away with the biggest profits.

It is my opinion that athletes should start a strike against the Olympics until the people that run it get it through their thick skulls that they are not the reason people go to, and/or watch the Olympics.
Protest, picket, whatever has to be done to get things back under control.

What do you think?

They just don’t understand why us straight people wont let them be.

I went over the topic of homo behavior in this article.

The basic premise here is that no matter how natural homosexuality might be, it is still not normal. Only about 10-15% (don’t quote me on that, I came across that number somewhere and I think it’s too high. I think it’s likely less than 5% ) of the population has ever had any homosexual experiences, and many of those people are bi-sexual.

To someone that is repulsed by homosexual behavior, which is most people, same sex public displays of affection are no different than a guy walking down the street in a full gimp suit, with ball gag, being whipped by his dom.

I don’t care who you fuck in private. Or how you like to fuck for that matter (as long as it’s consensual) Just keep it private.

Not every TV show has to have a lesbian or Homo on it. I am a fan of the show Bones. On the show two characters Hodges and Angela, started developing a relationship near the end of season one. It budded in season 2, and progressed through season 3.

Suddenly in season 4 their engagement is called off after one argument. Only a few episodes later Angela is suddenly bi-sexual and starts a relationship with another women. Despite at least two previous occurrences of behavior suggesting slight homophobia. I have recently been watching the series from DvD, a few episodes a night, sorta puts new perspective on it.

Apparently a romance that held side story line status for nearly the whole series ended just so they can put a lesbian relationship into the show.

Who would like to bet they did it because of complaints of some sort from the queers?

I don’t care what the fags want. They are a minority. One based on a sexual fetish, mental problem or genetic defect causing a miss-wired brain.

Again. I really could care less about what you do at home. That’s your deal, your life. When you put it on display, then it becomes everyone’s deal, everyone’s life. If they want TV shows that cater to them, let one of them come up with a queer cable/sat channel just like every other special interest group.

Queers need to stop acting like they aren’t different. This is an issue that transcends nationality, color and creed. The act of mating is one of the most fundamental drives all animals have, including humans. Homosexuality is against that drive.

It’s like seeing a person with anorexia that has given up eating, or someone doing something incredibly dangerous who has set aside survival instinct.

It’s disturbing to most people at some level.

People don’t understand why I am anti-social. The need to be part of groups, and cliques and things is also part of what it is to be human. Non-social types are also given a hard time.

Queers need to understand that when you defy something as basic to what it is to be alive as the desire to mate, people are not going to view you in a positive light.

Oh brothers and sisters, do not recoil from the implications. Revel in the freedom!
This is no Juvenal call to actions without thought, but a call to a higher state of mind!
For what is the place of guilt in our minds? To tell us what is wrong. But who has the right to tell a true individual what is wrong? NO ONE! Only that person them self can dictate what is right and wrong in their own hearts.
Blindly obeying rules one does not believe in is blasphemy!

Now, I am not asking you to go commit crimes just because you don’t agree with the law. I am saying you should work against unjust laws, fight the man, but it only works if you do it on his terms.
But, Oh my brothers and sisters, there is a far more insidious source of imprisoning guilt. Religion!
Religion thrives on guilt. It’s very foundation is built on guilt!
Seek out these guilts inside and examine them. Do they feel right to you? Do things that make you feel good, also make you feel dirty for no reason?
This is the insidious nature of religion. Even long after one has excommunicated their church, the claws of it’s guilt cling.
Look inside and rend these guilts asunder, for to be at peace with who we are, we must be at peace with what we do.

Do what thou will, shall be the whole of the law.
But not if it takes away the right of another to do the same!
Murder, Child Abuse, Rape.
These are not the actions of enlightened creatures!

In the seeking of true freedom of will and spirit the flesh is not to be ignored, least it’s desires become obsessions, or worse compulsions. All fantasies can be acquired via legal means, and in ways that harm NO ONE.
Murder can be subjective. Sometimes what is murder to one, is justice to another. Yet the question remains. Where do we draw the line?
Each must answer that question for them self if the times comes that they must. They must also acknowledge that the laws of society still hold sway over personal laws.

Do what thou will, shall be the whole of the law
Is a call to personal freedom, but not without personal responsibility.
It is meant to uplift, and give rise to a greater sense of self.
Seek out what you feel is right. But it is never your right to deny another theirs.

Remember, the philosophy of Anarchy is not lawlessness, but working towards a time when government and religion are no longer needed.
How-di-do-di…Ramen.
Don’t forget to eat your Holy Day Ramen everyone, and have a great day!

As the leader of spirituality, Music, Wisdom and Poetry I will decry Wednesday as the Holy Day of The Nameless religion.

I will start by giving you the 13 commandments and explaining them.

1.Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
Taken from Crowley. Each person must decide for themselves what path in life to take. No one can tell you what is right and wrong, no one can define everything for you. Seek your own truth and become truly free.

2.Do unto others as others do unto you.
Taken from the Satanic Bible. Treat people as they treat you. Being nice to everyone is unnatural, and unhealthy.

3.Without an individual sense of Responsibility and Self-Control true freedom is an illusion.
Do what thou will is not a call to anarchy and unlawful action. It is a call to greater responsibility and the creation of one’s own laws. To harm a person who has not harmed you is taking away their right to seek their own path.
Be free, but do not let your freedom interfere with anyone.

4.Without a personal code of Honor life is pointless.
Hand in Hand with the third commandment. Along with responsibility and self-control we all need a code to adhere to. Without guidelines we stumble into compulsion and true depravity. You do not need to try and create your code in a day, in fact it should be something that evolves through your life.

5.Seek your dreams and never let anyone tell you, you can’t do it.
Without dreams we are lifeless shells without true desire or goals. Never let anyone take away your soul.

6.Imagine.

7.Reality is an illusion of perception, perception is an illusion of reality. Seek to set aside the illusions and perceive truth.
Within everything there are lies, and truths. The trick is in figuring out which is which.

8.Individuals are more precious than any group, yet a group of individuals is useless. Find the middle ground and stand there as rock.
A person who is part of a group with no sense of self is a tool, an individual is true person. Yet someone that cannot work within a group as a tool is useless to others and them self when the need arises for team work. Find a middle ground between being able to be part of a group, but not losing yourself in it, and never move from that position.

9.without pain there is nothing to compare joy, do not avoid pain, rather learn it’s lessons well.
Pain comes n many forms, but it always has a lesson to teach. Do not seek out pain, yet when it happens do not ignore what it is telling you.

10.The worse lies are the ones we tell ourselves, seek the truth of them and free yourself, hard and dirty a job as it might be.
Before a person can seek out truth, one must learn to see lies. The hardest lies to see are the ones we tell ourselves. Find the truth of your own lies, then you can seek out the truth around you.

11.Morality and Ethics vary from every continent to the others, from every country to it’s neighbors, from each state and province to those around it, from every county, from every city, and from each person to another. Accept no notion of right and wrong except what is defined by your own code.
Morality and Ethics are different everywhere, and for everyone. What offends one will make another laugh. What one sees as normal, another sees as vulgar. Only you can really know what is right and wrong in your heart.

12.Never forgive the atrocities done in the name of absent gods.
Religion is responsible  for most of the pain and suffering that takes place in the world. Perhaps only out stripped by greed. Never forget or forgive the pain and terror religion has caused.

13.Seek always wisdom and truth. No matter how painful it might be.
Even a painful truth is more desirable than a lie.
