Ya think it's easy?

“Puppies!”

I had a text from “Steve at Common Cause” entreating me to lobby for some piece of legislation. I responded thus:

“Does your plan entail taking private property by force? Since we both know it does, accept that you are an exponent of crime and ultimately genocide. Please do better with your life. And take me off your list.”

“Steve” is a bot, no doubt, but you never know who sees what. Meanwhile, I got a meme of my own that I have wanted for a while – an opportunity to set a lasting example of how to confront political hypocrisy.

The claim that Marxism is “merciful” or “compassionate” is absurd. Marxism is genocide, everywhere, eventually. But in its meekest forms, Marxism is devoted to pain: It seeks to hurt people for responding appropriately to the facts of reality.

Accordingly, you should always hold Marxists accountable for their crimes. They should have been purged along with the Nazis – for millions more murders. No one should treat them as anything but evil.
