Such a non-violent meme., continued.

The story about Right-wing podcasters like Benny Johnson (pictured here) receiving funding connected to Russian oligarchs sure died in a hurry last year, didn’t it?

The GOP had an election to win. Truth and national security would not stand in the way of tax cuts for the wealthy. SCOTUS cost a ton. Gerrymandering wasn’t cheap, same with purchasing the media to seize control of the cultural narrative. For a rich minority (some of whom are now sweating about the list), faltering at the end of a long-game campaign would have been an unconscionable boner-kill.

Years ago, it hit me how much of an illusion MAGA’s “culture war” was, them envisioning an actual war on-par with granddads who all starred in Band of Brothers. And I appreciated the power of non-violence even more.

Culture-warrior-whites do not say callous, borderline-unacceptable things because they seek open dialogue. Their aim is to incite rage, maybe even generate an excuse to dial 911 and sic the police on a person.

Who knows? If all goes perfectly, the cops answering the call will be in on the white nationalist gag, play along as the performative “victim” rants.

(Part of the joke is that MAGA hates victimhood. So this bit of theater will perplex if one is not privy. Steve Bannon: “flood the zone with shit”.)

Ultimately, the cops could ruin the person’s life, potentially help “victim” sue “victimizer”–more lulz!

Donald Trump, JD Vance, and the men who bankroll them promised non-rich white MAGA voters a power trip. In return for looking away, sad souls can indulge their ugliest racist desires. To me, this bargain is pathetic. But MAGA voters don’t think much of lefty-libs’ opinions, so they will disregard my two cents. Oh well.

My skin color is white and I know why a tiny minority of rich sociopaths maintain their hold. Because I get it, I work against it. They’re selling this backs-against-the-wall mumbo-jumbo when they themselves have no intention of going anywhere near real danger. Nothing wrong with communicating this fact and it is why I say keep a level head. Don’t take the bait. Opt for John Lewis’ “good trouble” instead.

Looking at White America foam at the mouth watching ICE target brown-skinned women, I think of the bad guy in the movie who loves his doomsday device. His doomsday device is his everything and, right up until the point where he loses, he believes that the doomsday device guarantees his win.

Non-violence is more powerful than any doomsday device. Non-violent, class-based revolution on a mass scale would be amazing.

I write fiction and have two dark comedies available, Fearkiller (Volume 1) and Notes from Trillionaire Island: Fearkiller (Volume 2), as well as Revolutionizer Alpha, the first book in a sci-fi series. I also wrote a story about God. It was weird, but then I decided to make the story and its sequel free. And all of the sudden, it didn’t seem as weird. Writing about God is much less weird when you write about God without charging money for it. Here’s my professional site, my trade. Follow me on Medium.
