Sometimes, The Internet Is A Thing Of Beauty

i stumbled across this diary about a crazyass mcveigh wannabe who thinks the appropriate response to a bi-coastal nuclear attack on the US would be to hang leftist professors:

Expect heavily armed and infuriated conservatives to launch a cleansing war against the traitors. The armed will mow down the mostly unarmed segments, especially those elements that devoted forty-plus years to anti-American hatred to destroy this country. Should the likes of Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Michael Moore, Ward Churchill, Dennis [sic] Raimondo [antiwar.com -ed.], et al. act out their sedition in a just-nuked America, expect their bodies to be found shot full of holes. Expect gun battles at banks, food stores, ATMs, gas stations, and outside hospitals. Leftist professors will be strung up. It will be every man, woman, and child for themselves.

yeah, it's the usual post-apocalyptic hard right wingnut fantasy, complete with the lynchings of allegedly powerful and influential leftists. i find his faith in the US currency as a meaningful store of value in a post-nuclear US amusing. apparently, even unarmed liberals are such a threat that the only response is to mow them down in cold blood.

of course, he slips into passive voice there. first, 'armed and infuriated' conservatives will 'cleanse' all 'traitors'. then, 'the armed' will kill the 'unarmed'. i suppose those who are 'unarmed' but not leftist professors, marxist crackpots, or Michael Moore [probably a lot of swarthy types and people who worship the wrong god or the wrong jesus] will also be extras in his fantasy genocide. don't want to forget them. they need killing too.

after all that scum is taken care of, 'the armed' will go batshit crazy, shooting each other at grocery stores, gas stations, and outside hospitals. i'm itching to go trawling through his blog to see what he said about the looting and violence in new orleans after the hurricane. alright, enough of that. this fantastic comment was posted by RedDan:

A to the mutha-fuckin K, homeboy.

And so on.

Here's my thing - most of the pampered little fools writing this vomitous drivel have no idea, no fucking idea, what it means to live hard, to fight for survival.

None.

I, myself - not so much either - I grew up on a subsistence farm, but the soil was fertile, the community was strong, my parents were educated dropouts from the middle class intelligentsia, and there was a safety net (familial, community, governmental).

I have had to fight for my life, both literally and figuratively, a few times...but not much.

But oh, god, oh god, the things that I have seen in my travels around this world - Indonesia, Yemen, Mauritius, Malaysia, Russia, China, UAE, Pakistan....

People there are hard.

And in the American poor communities - white and black - people there are hard.

They have had to literally fight for their lives for their whole lives.

And some fat-faced, pasty-skinned, waffle-assed punk in front of a computer is just a little snack.

The only way to ensure a free press is to own one.
