Holy War (Sign of the BeefCarver Fate)

So Trump want to wage Holy War Against Taylor Swift, because in his eyes and the eyes of any Cult and Cult Leader her greatest sin  is being more popular than them. Trump is having a tantrum because she got Time Person of the Year and not him. Then people joked MAGA will use Kid Rock. Then news came out that is EXACTLY what MAGA is going to do. 

Kid Rock has not been anything resembling relevant since the 1990s. Swift has massive cultural power, her Person of the Year edition sold more copies of that magazine that Time sold ALL YEAR. The Religious Right and their culture wars has a LONG history of losing.

Tried to stop Jazz - LOST

Tried to stop Rock Music - LOST

Tried to stop Comic Books - LOST

Tried to stop Elvis - LOST

Tried to stop Television - LOST

Tried to stop Dungeons and Dragons - LOST

Tried to stop Video Games - LOST

Tried to stop Teletubbies - LOST

They did overturn ROE and how well has that worked out for them? 

Seem like their LIVING ALL POWERFUL GOD of ONE SUPREME TRUTH is just weak against secular pop culture, it is as if this God really is not some undeniable force of nature but another cultural construct and without the hype and attention it just fades away like all other Gods or cultural IPs that has faded away. Because all Gods eventually die from the same terminal illness, Irrelevance.

That is where their religion is heading, 28% of America are now NONES, and that ratio is higher among Millennials and Gen Z.

This all reminds me of that scene in the Avengers where Tony Stark is in Stark Tower, telling Loki there is no version of this where he comes out in top. Loki says all there is is the war. Stark replies, we have a Hulk. We have Taylor Swift. Army of God went down to Texas to do something at the border. 700,000 were supposed to show up but only like 500 did and got there and saw there is no invasion. 

Trump wants to call Swift disloyal if she endorses Biden because he was the reason she is a star. Look fool she was already rising to the top when Obama was president and Trump being president would have been some sick joke. 

Then there is the "We have 75 million gun owners the worlds largest army" No you don't, not all gun owners are of the same political bloc and of those that are how many of them and their guns are "mission capable" I saw that convoy in Texas most of them look older than me, obese and out of shape. Best you have is a fat kid who shot a guy with a skateboard. BTW he is getting FATTER. How are you going to get those you do have together and get them organized into a cohesive fighting force? Then there is the entire problem of FEEDING THEM. You know they need to eat, add in the medical issues that will crop up. Eagle Pass TX, has already shown us you can barely do any of that.

LIVING OFF THE LAND is not a plan or solution. You have manly man with GUNS. We have Taylor Swift.

Here is the kicker, you see US Civil War 2 and a possible WW3 will be Digital Age Battlespaces and wars also accelerate tech advances. WW2 gave us the Atomic Age but these wars will give us the Age of AI. Because both of these wars will be about who has access to information and advanced weapon systems not who has guns and macho. We are already seeing the run up to this in Ukraine, Russia was all hyper macho heavy armor and brute force then immediately got ravaged by Ukrainians using Drones, Javelins and NLAWS, after 2 years there are almost no stories about personal heroics or named war heroes.

When these wars are over BTW MAGAs and their allies will LOSE. AI advances will turn up in the civilian sector as that is how defense contractors really make their profits. Not from the war but how to use that technology for civilian uses. Atomic Bombs led to Atomic Energy and microwave antennas led to microwave ovens etc.

Then there is what happened after WW2, In the 1950s a new type of technology swept the nation and radically transformed our daily lives and culture, that tech was Television, and it took over every household by the end of the decade. One Tech Advancement from WW3 that could enter our homes and transform everything will be AI.

AI could lead to AI Robot Helpers, not just the sex bots for incels but AI nannies for married couples to do the housework and parenting. THE TRAD gender roles the MAGA start a war to protect will finally be finished off. What is a Dad or Mom's role when the robot nanny does it all? Not just a more sexier version of Rosie the Robot from Jetsons, it will be a more powerful version of Alexa, Siri and Cortana. 

During the Super Taylor Bowl, there was the He Gets Us Commercials, $100M Ad campaign for Jesus funded by right wing Hobby Lobby Billionaires. If this God is the ONE TRUE SUPREME LIVING GOD, then why does one have to sell it so hard and spend millions doing it? Goes back to what I said before, fighting to repel the deadliest threat any God can face, Irrelevance. Why they accuse Taylor Swift of witchcraft, her magic or sin in their eyes is being more popular than their Lord and Savior.

Just think really hard about that.

THEY/THEM Super Soldiers (Get with the Program II)

 Russia is now blaming their losses on Ukrainian Gay Super Soldiers. You read that right THEY/THEM super soldiers are turning the straight macho Russian Army into WAS/WERE. They are not super soldiers, just trained on NATO weapons and tactics and are not poorly fed and equipped conscripts. Then the Ukrainian government is unifying their forces with GAY SEX, what like the band of Thebes? Whose unit cohesion was such that even the Spartans did not want to face them, when they did LOST horribly.

Once again THEY/THEM army is turning the Russian Forces into WAS/WERE. When all fails Putin pulls out the homophobic propaganda as his great traditional values army takes loss after loss because his military for the past 20 years of his rule was allowed to be gutted by the corruption of his very inner circle of oligarchs. Russia cannot even land a probe on the moon but the MAGA GOP thinks this country is something to aspire to.

There is now news that Ukraine has female pilots being trained to fly F16s and Zelensky is looking to make a deal with Sweden to acquire a few Gripen jets, in some aspects are SUPERIOR to the F16. I cannot wait to see Putin and MAGA chuds like Michael Knowles lose it when there ends up being a Ukrainian Female Fighter Ace, bonus if that Ace is a Lesbian or Trans.

The right is obsessed with Gay Stuff more than Gay people are, I had an 8th grade teacher who had a reply when kids in class used gay as a slur. "Football players talk about football, basketball players talk about basketball  so people who talk about gay all the time...".

No surprise that so many of them get busted at some dive motel or gas station men's room off the free way engaging in meth and man ass.

This conspiracy theory is fueled by fear of their the masculine man becoming obsolete, and well he is. Technology is doing that. Wars are not longer dependent on hyper masculine heroics anymore, we no longer need 10 Rambos who enlisted because they did not get the college full ride athletic scholarship to destroy a target, just one geek piloting a drone with a off the shelf XBOX controller from a office building with AC. It is the same in our economy, those jobs that reinforced those traditional genders are going away. At my place I see women and men doing the SAME JOBS and many of those are leadership positions.

Recently two of Russia's nuclear capable long range bombers were taken out by Ukrainian Drones, this was as turned into a drone war which is a harbinger of a much larger Digital Age war to come. These are the madcap incoherent bigoted nonsense that a losing side cooks up to make excuses why they are losing to a smaller country that is equipped with NATO hand me down surplus weapons.

Education is going to start to reflect the 21st century reality, GOP and the evangelicals want to push homeschool, because something something parents rights or whatever. The same forget the system we have exists because 100 years ago those robber barons who were reshaping our economy and culture through the industrial revolution. Those Titans of Industry knew that the 20th century industrial sector needed workers educated with a set of skills and their the barely literate farmer parents were not up for the task. Today too many parents are not up to the task to educate their kids with the skills a 21st century Digital Age work force will require. Now those Titans of Industry are people like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.

In about 20 years School Administrators will look at the High School Concussion Ball teams and PE programs and think, this is no longer working. We cant have something that causes brain damage, less boys now have Dads that even encourage it, because they are gamer dads. Too many show up to PE never once held a Baseball bat in their entire life. School Sports were created to create the manly man for the mines, mills or Military. In these small towns the Mine and Mill were shut down 25 years ago and the Military needs them less and less. PE will have to be more about life long fitness and nutrition not sports that breeds life long fandom that results on couch surfing and getting beer, soda and junk food and online casino commercials beamed into their brains. It will happen because the 21st Century Economy will require it to function.

We are getting to a point there will be more GAMERS than Sports fans, even Sports Illustrated Online had an article about Baldur's Gate 3 tips.  

SI Baldurs Gate 3

We are almost 1/4 into the 21st Century time to get with the program.
