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.

Progress (Get with the Program)

One of my days off from work I went to a local Taco Bell, after hitting the nearby Dollar Tree. When I went to order at this particular Taco Bell, they no longer had a front menu board but a QR code to call up on a smartphone or have to use the self order touch screens. There was a nearby customer who had NO IDEA how to use one.

That is what happens with any social or technological change, that change gets to the point it takes over and you have to get with the program.

It happened with Telephones, Automobiles, Radio and Television. One day people needed to have a car to function in society, new towns and communities were built to be car centric. Everyone needs at least one TV in their home, everyone has a radio.

How we are heading fast into the digital age and more of these advances and changes are happening. I was looked at like some freak for being a NES junkie in the 1980s. Now a growing number of High Schools have E-SPORTS teams. First tweet I saw in 1/01/2020 as for a High School announcing the creation of their E Sports team.

Three years since then the number of such programs have grown, in around 2009 idea of a school video game team was something Penn and Teller used as a though experiment at the end of the Bullshit episode on video game violence., back then that very concept seemed absurd.

The gamer kids who were trash at PE were the outlier freaks until one day they are not. Next High Schools have to utterly revamp their Physical Education program, one away from being a sports club to find who the Varsity Studs will be, because for one their own concussion ball teams will be withering on the vine in some places over TBIs. Biggest reason more kids will have GAMER DADS. They come home Dad who is is not in his mancave watching a game but playing one. They don't spend money and sign their own kids up to the increasingly expensive organized sports organizations. They had a sports dad who did that and it was a garbage experience. Had to hear his Dad or other male adults go on about their HIGH SCHOOL GLORY while he watched YouTube vids of some 15 year old game streamer who was bringing more bank a week than his Dad or any of us do in a month. Making money at 15 sitting at home playing Fortnite blows High School Varsity Captain King of Prom out of the water.

Why MAGA happened and how they have a fantasy they can shoot their way out with the AR15s, Oh they are in for a shock because any Civil War 2 will be a DIGITAL WAR. Their side will not have anything digital on their side, because people who are religious fanatics who embrace Q Anon do not build, design or know how to operate Star Wars level Death Drones. They are all convinced that all they needs is guns and macho. Forgetting that most of their core "militia" is older than me (I'm 46) and obese with several health issues. Cry that the Military is WOKE because more and more of your newest recruits no longer fit that mold. Guess what most never did, MAGA veterans they do have all served at least 20+ years ago. What tactics can they teach? If they do that because too many of the gun fu training videos of them have them looking like total soup sandwiches.

Right now in Ukraine, there is NO news story about any hyper macho Rambo heroics, its all about the DRONES, javelins, NLAWS and other war tech, besides videos of reserve forces given Maxim Machine guns, MP40s and Mosin rifles. Military will not be on their side and one of them was already neutralized by the FBI without breaking a sweat. When they lose and lose BIG, more conspiracy theories will be made up to rationalize why. Because they are not paying attention.

21st Century as we will know it is Coming, we are all going to have to get with the program or get left behind.
