15 years ago, a "conservative" position that was widely popular was "we need to nuke Mecca, invade the Muslim world and forcefully convert them to Christianity"
Like this was the rhetoric used by people on the editorial pages of the New York Times, and people in Congress. The restrained position was we need to wage a forever war to prop up dictators who support our hegemony.
Before that, we had "Superpredators" and arguments about "preventing poor people from breeding"
And then the AIDS crisis
and Nuking Russia and forcefully converting them to Christianity (slavs are Godless Communists, you see. Orthodox isn't real.)
There's an aesthetic difference between the most powerful of older conservatives, who used to be more interested in sounding professional when they said horrible things, and today's most powerful conservatives, who are often more vulgar, but they're playing to the same audiences and for the same reasons
Remember when Fox News suggested that fist bumps were some kind of terrorist hand signal? My family also still jokes about the time Sean Hannity was mad at Obama for ordering Dijon mustard.
Oh yeah, the "terrorist fist jab"
Don't worry, You can trust me with the city budget, just let me in there. Come on, just let me have the budget. I will totally not gut the police budget to build a centralized mass transit network and new libraries. I will definitely not do that, just let me in there please. Come on let me have access to the city budget for 5 minutes. That's all I ask.
“the sea doesn’t care about you!!” ok well just because the ocean is unspeakably powerful and can’t stop the rhythm she’s held for uncountable eons just for one person doesn’t mean she can’t love you. loving and changing are two different things. we wouldn’t have life without the ocean…. and yeah, if you don’t respect her and treat her cavalierly, you’ll perish. but how can anyone say the sea doesn’t mourn when she holds so much life and beautiful secrets in her belly? why are we putting atheism on the ocean that loves us?
you want the ocean to change for YOU? you think that being tamed is the only way for her to prove her love??? go sit on a rock by the seaside and listen to the tide. find some gratitude for one of the only things in existence that always keeps its promise to come back
