We are the corpses unless we decide not to be. But it's got to be soon. Time is short. Their only chance to survive, their final gambit, is savage, murderous violence against us.

If you can get beyond the paywall, this Fintan O'Toole piece describes the coming worldwide freakshow authored by the Christian Republican Conservative movement.
"And yet, in Western societies, boys are often expected to act like girls. Starting in school, where they’re expected to sit down, be still, be quiet, and pay attention. If they don’t, there’s something wrong with them."
Boys and girls alike are also expected to leave the guns and ammo at home in this western society, where they can used against the neighbors and Census workers, as God the Gunrunner intended, rather than bringing them into the schools to shoot teachers and fellow students dead.
Yet, only one of those sexual persuasions* seem to ignore that rule, along with those other shut-up-and-learn inconveniences mentioned heretofore.
A libertarian on these very pages years ago, in a fit of drollery, once said that what really bothered him about weaponry near at hand was how bothersomely noisy gunfire can be to innocent bystanders; it hurts HIS ears!
Which seems kind of feminine in its delicacy, ya know, in the generalizing course of things. I would think your normal Texas hombre would wave off hails of deafening gunfire like Colonel Kilgore on the beach in 'Apocalypse Now' unflinchingly, but wistfully citing his love of the smell of Napalm in the morning as ordnance goes Ka-plow! mere yards from him and his surfboard.**
And, is a little like the Yiddish lady complaining about the atrociously bland food served in her nursing home ..... "AND, such small portions!"
*OK, in the abiding interests of both sides do it, I concede there are way too many MAGA conservative Mar-A-Lago-faced gunslinging, gorgons and harridans like the Greenes, the Boeberts, with big swinging testicles who do not demur at a little fully automatic gunfire in the school cafeteria or the U.S. Capitol or even in an otherwise peaceful Minneapolis neighborhood.
** I must mention I personally witnessed that scene being filmed while "performing" as a movie extra (army ranger grunt) in the Philippines while temporarily on "leave" from the Peace Corps there back in the late 1970's.
It was a movie being filmed, but in that and other scenes, it was as deafening, disorienting and dangerously violent as one might imagine real war to be. The ordnance was real and way to close. If not for the blanks in my M-16, I'd have shot most of fellow extras and maybe a star or two. If not for Coppola yelling "Cut", I'd have spent some time in a VA wing stateside entitled "Ward for The Cinematically Shell-Shocked"
