Free Speech, Dan Cathy of Chic-fil-a..And God Said Or The Bible Says and History Will Erect Tombstones

The Implicit activity of free speech is it anticipates antithesis, it recognizes there will be opposition.  Couching theological liberties as free speech is either the work of a lazy and feeble mind or at its very core an effort to reassert idealistic dicta.

Dan Cathy of Chic-fil-a Restaurants as most Republican-Conservatives when confronted with the reactionary nature and backwardness of their thought and world view find refuge under the banner of...and God said or the Bible says.  So when Dan Cathy touched off a recent firestorm with his anti-gay comments, he was quick, along with his supporters and defenders to claim free speech because it was his religious belief and liberty.

The Issue and the problem with... and God said or the Bible says, as free speech is we cannot argue with God, we cannot debate God, even the Devil isn't truly antithetical to God.  So... And God said or the Bible says for purposes of free speech definitions is as idealistic as the notion of "being outside of history" which is what Dan Cathy and his ilk would always demand of the Human Condition and it's dialectical-materialist reality.

The United States Constitution articulates religious freedoms as specifically being without the dicta of the state and its bias.  Free speech is subsequently defined antithetically to religion because free speech is the activity of thought, mental labor.  Religion isn't an idea to its believers, it's rather a suspension, suppression, and repression of ideas, it frowns on the activity of free speech.

So for the very elements, free speech warns us against to conceal their reactionary practice under its mantle hints at two occurrences, either we have become militantly decadent or we have lost the Jacobin edge of polemics.

Dan Cathy, his reaction, and backwardness can and will invoke God as a medium of their idealistic intolerance and history will erect tombstones to their failure.

White Privilege


BREXIT


Modern Pharisees, The Extermination of Native Americans and The Dehumanization of Black People

Evangelicals as all totalitarians and hypocrites suffer from memory loss. Contemporary culture which they have become petty hucksters and hustlers railing against is a reaction to the once upon a time supremacy of a historical "Christian" status quo.

The extermination of Native Americans and the primal seizure of their patrimony and the land, the enslavement, and dehumanization of Black people didn't occur in a porn saturated, LGBTQ-Drag Queen prancing, aborted fetuses galore, disrespect of killer cops, "Godless" Hollywood culture.

Instead the savagery wrought and practiced by "White" European invaders of America, the extermination of Native Americans, the enslavement of Black people happened upon their biblical understandings when it was the dominant cultural organizing force. The sun as witness to "White" European savagery rose and set year after year within the culture apology of the bible.

So what historical biblical moral authority are we being demanded a return to our evangelical compatriots? Weren't enough Native Americans exterminated, haven't Black people been dehumanized enough under their historical biblical morality     that they dare lecture us that modern, contemporary culture is Godless and lacking biblical morality.

When "they" Evangelicals and their modern Pharisees self recognize the fact that the apogee of their biblical moral authority is a carriesque Jesus Christ wearing blood-drenched and soaked garments on a white horse. An image, the fertile image of "Godless" Hollywood is yet to organically conjure, despite carrie, is only a motif of the very culture these modern Pharisees have monetized railing against.

Will Become Another Problem Our Sapience Solves - By William Thorpe


They terrorize us in life to scare us with death.

The ability to kill a slave isn't a willingness to kill slaves,

The predator culls the herd otherwise it perish, which is what terrorized life and scared with death experience unknowingly,

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself" was mobilization against the other      Yes "We the people......" Government is only possible, our suppositions, keeping us in file in class war life,

So "Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" So let us truly go there finally, finally experience the recriminative utter silence, primordial silence of annihilation: when trees fall without sound. Where supremacy presumptions stand laid bare coming to terms with "The devil is in the detail" and that usury, it's derivatives and terroristic valuation and the death exploitation will become another problem our sapience solves,

They terrorize us in life to scare us with death.

Conservatism Intellectual-Liberalism and Its Bottom Pit Critique and War

For too long American-Conservatism and it's foot soldier have criticized liberalism and the war on poverty as a bottomless pit of spent money.

The Bottomless pit of spent money critique is also used to deride and dismiss demands to fund public education.

Conservatism critique is summed up as despite the amount of money spent on the war on poverty and public education. Issues still persist and exist, so liberalisms approach has been wrong and only conservatism's intellectual-liberalism and its personal responsibility and social engineering narrative will allow redemption for the poor and non-unionized teachers [euphemestically presented as charter schools] will save public education

Our political-economy, however, reminds us that the conservative critique on both accounts is false and outright deceptive.

No one will dare argue that nevertheless the bottomless pit of taxpayer money spent on waging wars. The idea and its practice of waging war is a failure because not only is war still with us but is constant as the sun rising    so we should promptly embark on the ..... Beating swords into plows .....delusion and stop pouring taxpayer money into the bottomless pit of the nations military, intelligence agencies and the state organized violence of law and order which is also another bottomless pit of public expenditure, because nothing seems to indicate that crime is deterred or reformed.

But as soon as the question is: How is value [money] interacted with, who has access to it    we encounter the distortion of what is good for the goose isn't good for the gander or the pot can with a straight face `a la the banal and fatuous pronouncements of Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute, on work and dignity and Amy Holmes cohost of PBS In Principle. [who hasn't encountered nothing pre-fixed conservatism that doesn't cause her orgasmic swoon] call the kettle black   In furious reaction to any attempt and effort at showing that certain unresolved and unsettled accounts of our political-economy are inherent saboteurs on the question of poverty.

Conservatism and its intellectual-liberalism has long given up any pretense to "thought" and embraced its true calling: the deification cult of the reactionary Ronald Reagan. So it's contemporary practice when not doing 3-legged and sack races with every last slithering denizen from not the mere unjust side of history but the wrong side of it, almost accomplishing the impossible of stepping outside of it   the incredulity of what it has become escape it, as it negates its own dignity, a dignity, to let Authur Brooks lecture us, its lack is what ails American Poverty.

Conservatism has no issue with the antagonism of a national-economy maintained on taxpayer money going to bomb makers, missile makers, handcuffs, and shackles manufacture, police uniforms makers for the primary purpose of money distribution for the employment of a majority white worker. Or taxpayer money subsidizing all sectors and activities of the American political-economy from the industrial-practical to hair-brained enterprise but not limited to charlatan think tanks i.e American Enterprise Institutes, for the specific purpose of money circulation and redistribution. But as soon as the same identical logic of government created money underpins a response in the war on poverty and is circulated to the welfare recipient     [and should be noted has enabled, catalysed and accelerated the wealth accumulation of Walmart Inc. and it's contemporaries catering to the welfare recipient] which by the way is at a far lesser amount than what is given to the bomb-making white worker whose existence as a worker is primarily due to randomness of being born white. Conservatisms intellectual-liberalism emerges in reaction to if not insidiously misanthropic arguments, dubious ones that amount to: The American poor of whom a majority, by the way, work have not embraced enough the Auschwitz Death Camp motto of work will set you free  [which Arthur Brooks of AEI shouldn't have any problem in finding his dignity supposition in it] or the fact adults are reduced to raising families on McDondalds wage isn't basis enough to raise the minimum wage because Conservatism's intellectual-liberalism supposes fast-food wages are intended for teenagers.

Conservatism has been getting away with its snake-oil, charlatan analysis because the Progressive critique and its liberal worldview has yielded one too many times

Ode to Donald Trump and Misanthropy


Living in the savagery, I was
Living in the savagery I  was till
I met your civilization and it savaged me.

Living in my ignorance I was
living in my ignorance I was till I met 
your wisdom and it ignored me.

I was living and you said it was

Bitcoin and Idealistic-Meritocracy

To paraphrase Marx, the emergence of money presents its own set of rules. To wit, bitcoin as an expression of money clearly does.

The problem with bitcoin is: it tilts the value dialectic to an extreme form of meritocracy, an idealistic-meritocracy to be specific. i.e. only the mathematically adept or a comparable digital program can access it, "mine" for it, after solving advanced theoretical mathematics.

Or those with conventional paper money or liquidity can afford its speculated inflated value. Either of bitcoin access points returns us to the antagonisms of old world or analog money.

The truth is bitcoin nor old-world analog money expresses the value dialectic which money is intended to do, minus the Marxian-Contradiction of "its own sets of rules". Thus squarely placing bitcoin as another distortion, another idealistic-Meritocracy that shackles the Human Condition to the suppositions of others and with equally destructive consequences on Human conditional sets of relations as the industrial revolution despite existential progress.

Polly The Parrot and Ann Coulter


If I trained an African Grey Parrot, Polly to do what a call center human does, What Ann Coulter does, but with more healthy meat on her bones than Ann Coulter.

Will that once and for all put to rest this ignorance over what is money, what are taxes and what is deficit and with a Polly beak peck let out the air of Conservatisms polemic-balloon of What is value?

I'm as V.I. Lenin in "The State and Revolution" laying down pen to man the barricade, mocking Ann Coulter    That Polly my African Grey Parrot is a creator of value as opposed to the redistribution narrative of the Ann Coulter's and their anal retentive Ayn Rand zeitgeist intellectual-liberalism

The Prisoners Wife By Asha Bandele: A Review

The book is supposedly A Love Story. But I don't know what to make of it---It's too full of recriminations, regrets, resentments, and condescension to be a result of love, as love is understood by the human condition.

The setting for this "Love" is Prison, not any prison for that matter but the insidious and
Machiavellian enterprise of an American prison, The Department of Corrections of The State of New York. The story is a reflection of the tumultuous state of American cultural expression and it's subjective, American Hearts and Minds, because if the cultural and emotional expression of the human is simply a sum of character, then love as the ultimate value of emotion and its medium culture will reflect the state and nature of its subjective. Emotion in the most sublime of conditions and environment is still a strange and mysterious beast, add the ingredient of the most alienative and perverted environmental condition known to humanity, prison and what will you have? What you should have is the sum value of human character, that baptism by fire through adversity, that qualitative redemption from the disjointedness of chaotic quantity but Ms. Bandele fails to even have an inkling of the maxim "I'm Solitude made Man" ---- Solitude which in this context is anguish, that accomplice of love, love which she claims.

The author's emotional consciousness is either objectively malnourished or her alienation from the objectivity of her femininity is so complete that she is confused, She mistakes the adventurous inclination of her Eros with that most consuming of emotions, "Love". Whether or not she wants to face up to and has the presence of mind to acknowledge it, she simply had a stimulating adventure with a prisoner, a test in that most simplistic and primitive of human urges, self-gratification in its motive of one-upmanship. As she tongue in cheek, succinctly puts it "I wanted to be important to someone again" [ pp.27]

For starters, Rashid her beloved, lover and subsequent husband is too one-dimensional and acquiescent, an emasculated corollary of collateral damage from the war between the sexes submitting disgracefully to his wife Asha's each and every undisciplined desire an infantile idealism for whatever it is and was, that was between them to be of that higher human emotion, Love, The only excusable rationalization for his behavior is the stimulus of the relationship in-it self and its satisfying impact on his "...Scorched-Earth" [pp.165] psyche was enough to overlook the dominance of his wife and that spells eunuchism.

Asha, on the other hand, would have us, readers believe that her most yearned for desire and sought for reality is to have her imprisoned mate free and with her, yet when she is impregnated, granted the germinating testimonial seed of their love, she has no problem aborting the fetus.

What is striking and revealing is at every turn of the way, their way and obstacles crop up, which in the general sense, with its solution or how they contend with it would enable their humaneness to define and give credibility to the love they purportedly share both fail its qualification pathetically. Rashid the prisoner and husband for being effeminate and obeisant to his wife's each and every indulgence and Asha the wife for misplacing her need for self-affirmation and its redemptive catharsis with love.

The author presents an unstated and treacherous premise that the pursuit of emotional, mental and physical communion between the imprisoned human and a free one is utterly unrealistic, futile and its fidelity is unattainable--- this premise itself raises the question of what role if any those higher sentient and sapient potentials of humanness plays in the condition of love, not as we misconstrue it to be but as we aspire it to be. If as we are wont to say that love has many facets and conditions then Rashid and Asha's rank at that, no greater than the sum of their undeveloped psyches. What then is Ms. Bandele telling us, "that the spirit is willing but the body is weak"? Or the whole relationship was nothing more than an academic project that is now bearing fruit with her writing a book about it.


To make a long story short "The Prisoners Wife" is a story of relationship between male and female and their dishonesty and inability in coBming to terms with the fact that they lacked the manhood and womanhood to develop, nurture and sustain love in that most stifling of environments------Prison.

I close with Asha Bandele invoked Assata Shakur's
"...If I know anything at all
it's that a wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.


It can be brought down."
And for 219 pages made a mockery of it with erecting that most noxious of walls       
"condescension".
