Overnight Open Thread (08-07-2018 )

There is one and only one social responsibility of business–to use it resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud.

Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

-- Karl Marx

This is a war, an ideological and spiritual one, for the minds and souls of America. It's Enlightenment reason vs. Postmodern subjectivism. It's a belief in right and wrong, and a desire to cleave to the right, versus a rejection of good and evil, which produces nothing but servants of evil.

You win a war by destroying the enemy until they stop fighting and surrender. We win this war by destroying their false, craven, self-contradictory ideology and soundly mocking their faux-piety at every opportunity.

If we lose the ideological and spiritual war to these forces of evil, the struggle that follows will be far, far worse - will it will be for life itself, because these people are the allies of death and show it every time they gain power.

-- Cato the Rebel Without a Party

Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.

-- Heinrich Heine

Make no mistake, they are book burners, disguised as "anti-fascists" and "anti-hate-speech warriors," and "Moms against 3D Printed Guns" and a host of other pseudonyms for the apparatchiks of a police state.

But enough politics for one night...here are some fun things I have put together in lieu of actual content. Yeah, Misanthropic Humanitarian spoils the crap out of you, but The Dildo is here to drag you back to earth!

My Twitter Feed
In case any of you actually read it, I have decided to be combative and inflammatory, and I am curious how long it will take for Twitter to marginalize me or just cancel my account. I am already blocked by a surprising number of people on the left...people with whom I have had no interaction. Why, it's almost as if they are keeping lists!
