Lousy
Last Words... Just Not Mine
Yes, I know. I realize that the majority of humans
on this planet suspect something about our climate
is seriously amiss and that, without
doubt, we primates are to blame.
Sadly, our lives are controlled by "The Golden Rule
of Incompetent Sanitation", whereby he who has the
gold makes a lot of really shitty, self-serving rules.

Suppose Captain Rawdawg touches off the kind of racial
civil war that results in nothing but lily-white humans
owning the field. Does this mean if only
"good white people" remain in America that there's
no reason for the citizenry to any longer own guns?
By that I mean, if there are no more Mexican rapists
fixing your sink or big black bucks suspiciously carrying
junk food through your neighborhood, who is left to
protect
your
family from with some hot lead?
No, if America was 100% white people like Douchebag
Mussolini would eventually choose one nationality or
another to scapegoat
into oblivion. And we'd be right back where we are
today.

Conservatism works because it serves up simple ideas
to simple minds. For example:
Conservatives: "White Power!"
Normal People: "Create a society where everyone lives
in peace and harmony with one another regardless of
race
or skin color."
Conservatives: "Build the wall!"
Intelligent
People: "Develop economic cooperation with nearby countries
and help raise their standard of living so its citizens
won't need to emigrate to this country in order to
survive."
Conservatives: "MAGA!"
Regular People: "America is a great country but
it has its share of problems, mostly because of income
inequality and endless war. If we tax the rich a tiny
bit more and cut the military budget by 10% we
can rebuild America's infrastructure, better fund
our
schools,
provide better health care and clean up the environment.
Conservatives: "God."
Rational People: "Cognitive humility. Evolution. The
Copernican principle. Holism. RNA.
Deep time. Pessimism meta-induction. Positive-sum games. Self-serving
bias. Umwelt. Skeptical empiricism. Cultural attractor."
