re: #298 Shiplord Kirel: From behind wingnut lines

We’re so used to Republican superstition and ignorance that it didn’t even occur to me to point out that the Green candidate’s far-fetched hypothesis still makes far more sense than MTG’s moronic fantasy about the earthquake and the eclipse (the latter predictable centuries in advance) as a warning from God.
Personally I think the quake, anyway, was a sign of Cthulhu’s growing anger with hare-brained Republican superstition. It was centered on Cheeto’s golf course after all. I think zombie Ivana will rise from the grave and miraculously grow to 666 feet in height. She will rampage across the country grabbing Republicans and tossing them into the dreaded Basket of Deplorables for the Biden/Cthulhu victory banquet and all-you-can eat buffet this coming November.

But this isn’t genuine superstition, it’s someone chock full of hubris, talking to an audience bloated with hubris coming from a culture that teaches them they are inherently better people, once again stating that they, as a collective of better kinds of people, exclusively know the mind of God and should act upon that gnosis.

Because the point is only their entitlement, the “beliefs” constantly change while the subtext—their license to do anything—is retained. In a few days there will be some other things and this one will be dropped: narcissists need constant fresh supply.

You can say whatever clever counterproposal you want they’re just setting up the pretext on why they’re beating you to death with a rifle butt.
