Beware The Earnest, Well-Meaning MAGA Nazi

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

The worst MAGA Nazi cocksucker is the one who won’t take your anger at how they’re racist mygonists seriously. They are ostensibly kind, gentle and well-meaning in an almost condensing way. No matter how angry you get that you believe they’re fucking Nazis, they give you some shuck-and-jive bullshit about “can’t we all just get along?”

I’m sure that there were similar types of Nazis in Germany back in the day. They were a variation of the “Good German” trope. They were able to detach themselves from the innate hate of Nazism in the name of just “restoring” order to a complicated, confusing world.

With that having said, I really, really want these well-meaning MAGA Nazis to fucking hate me. I want them to get angry with me because then, at least, they would be validating me rage about how MAGA Nazism wants to destroy the country. I have a few of these well-meaning, earnest MAGA Nazis in my personal life, but the public example of this is none other than fucking Catturd.

Catturd really wants to be just a regular old Joe who loves his family and country and just can’t understand why people wouldn’t vote for the fucking malignant ding-dong that is Donald Trump. FUCK THAT GUY. Just because you hide behind a gee-whiz demonor of niceness doesn’t remove the fact that you’re a fucking MAGA Nazi.

It’s all very frustrating.

I know that, in the end, despite all the gentle kindness bullshit that Catturd displays now that in the end, when the time comes he’ll be the first to condone me being sent to a camp for this or that reason. Ugh. Fuck MAGA Nazis and fuck Catturd.

A Hot Take On David Sacks

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Oh, David Sacks. He reminds me so much of my Traditionalist relatives. He strives so hard to seem reasonable, but it’s all a thin veneer for the basic fact that he’s a fascist. Or at least, fascist friendly. Or, if you want to even more specific — David Sacks is a well-meaning Objectivist who thinks taxation is for suckers.

Everything else he believes is in service to that goal.

What gets me is people like David Sacks actively conflate the soft power of the “woke cancel culture mob” with the hard power of the government. So he whines and complains about how far Right extremists are “shadowbanned” by the evil cabal of Twitter that was overthrown by the righteous Elon Musk. But he totally misses that not only do the fucking fascists want to violently establish a white Christian ethnostate in the United States, but he’s proving that he’s complicit in this by wanting to allow violent fascists the right to spread their hate unfettered.

But let me state again — there is a difference between the hard power of the government and the soft power of the “woke cancel culture mob” that hurts your fee-fees. People like Sacks, and my Traditionalist reatives, are pretty angry and intense about the “mind virus” they believe is corrupting the minds of the rubes who still believe in democracy.

Anyway, it’s because of the mentality of people like David Sacks that the United States is careening towards a massive political clusterfuck. It’s probably going to happen in late 2024, early 2025 because of the passions of the 2024 presidential election. Either people like David Sacks get what they want — which is a white Christian ethnostate where only the Poors pay taxes — or we have a National Divorce which would spark a Second American Civil War.

OpenAI ChatGPT & ‘World War Woke:’ Rage Against The Machine

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

One of the most ironic developments of modern politics is how the American center-Left is now on the defensive when it comes to protecting the “system” from attacks by MAGA Nazis who want to burn everything down.

It’s a very, very curious situation.

What’s worse, everything single element of American culture is now aggressively being siloed into Red or Blue. So, not only do Reds want to burn the entire system down, but while they’re waiting to do that, they are rapidly building out their own culture totally separate from the overall culture of America.

One alarming thing I continue to see being talked about on Twitter is how Reds believe that OpenAI ChatGPT is “woke.” The worst part about this is it’s not like Reds are going to agree to any kind of equatable stance on the part of a chatbot — they want the chatbot to agree with them, so they can use that to validate their “owning” of the libs.

I continue to believe that the “bias” of chatbots could be THE political issue of 2023 in between repeated impeachment of Biden, Harris and various members of the Biden Administration.

The reason why chatbot “bias” will be such a huge deal — at least until everyone has their own personal chatbot — is, for the moment, a chatbot’s answer is something that both sides have to deal with. And given the natural inclination of humans to try to triangulate any debate with an “objective” third party, of course MAGA Nazis will get mad if what they believe isn’t validated. For the time being, they have one source to turn to and they want that once source to agree with them so they can use that answer to “own the libs.”

I fucking hate MAGA Nazis so much. Cocksuckers.

Anyway, at some point in the near future, “woke” chatbots will follow CRT, “cancel culture” in to the pantheon of things that are considered the “woke mind virus” on the part of the Reds. They will make the issue so loaded that it’s impossible to talk about unless you agree with them.

They will crack a joke if you try to pin them down on how dumb their arguments are and simply be smug in their belief that they’re right and you’re wrong.

The Politics of The ‘Vibe Check’

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I have struggled for some time to understand why MAGA Nazis act the way they do. I’ve struggled to understand what drives their bonkers rage and hate. Because my fellow center-Left comrades are struggling to do the same thing, they often use logic in attempt to explain a movement that has no logic. In fact, if anything, MAGA Nazis actively work to defy any sense of internal logic. They believe what they believe because they believe it.

But lately I think I may have begun to get some handle on what the fuck is going on with MAGA Nazis.

This “understanding” comes not so much from anything I believe, but the fact that I have Traditionalist relatives who are very “MAGA Nazi adjacent.”

Ok, so here goes.

I’m pretty indifferent to the performative nature of the Biden White House’s celebration of his signing of the “Respect For Marriage Act.” It’s one of those political “dance with the one who brung ya” type of political moves. The LGBQ+ movement is extremely potent within the Democratic Party, so what else do you expect he’s going to do?

And, yet, relative to my Traditionalist relatives, lighting the White House in rainbow flag colors and have a drag queens participate make my Traditionalist relatives rush towards the MAGA Nazi movement. The whole thing makes them very uncomfortable for various reasons religious and otherwise and I could see that given that everything is about negative polarization these days that they wouldn’t care about how idiotic MAGA Nazism is.

They just aghast at the idea of drag queens at the White House.

It doesn’t matter that Trump did far, far worse. All that matters is they are willing to support any movement that will “protect” their traditional views on the nuclear family. And throw in the border “crisis” while you’re at it.

So, the issue is — the two sides are beginning to not really think in terms of logic and are now more about “vibe checks.” Now, obviously the center-Left is far closer to reality than MAGA Nazis are. In fact, in a very ironic twist of fate, the center-Left is now forced to be the defenders of the “system” which MAGA Nazis want to burn to the ground and replace with an autocratic Nazi fascist state.

When the fate of your political system depends on “vibes” and not any form of logic, shame or self respect — you got a big problem. As I keep saying, this dynamic leads to a situation where you not only have to pick a side, but you have to be prepared to defend the most bonkers extremists on your side no matter what.

Because a lot of people don’t put that much thought into politics, negative polarization kicks in and you have the growing popularity of MAGA Nazism.

Why I’m Antifa

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Let me be clear, I only use the term “antifa” because of what it means literally “anti-fascist.” I hate violence of any sort. Hell, I hate conflict of any sort — even though my status as a loud mouth crank does tend to get me in trouble on that front.

But I’ve given it a lot of thought and the issue is — being a “centrist” is a luxury none us can afford anymore. Either you have to align yourself with the extreme MAGA Nazis, or you have to align yourself with the “woke cancel culture mob.” Given that MAGA Nazis are fucking racist misogynistic cocksucker, if I’m forced to pick a side — I know which one’s I’m picking: antifa.

I don’t, in anyway, condone the violence associated with antifa, but I do fucking hate MAGA Nazis a great deal on an ideological basis. I continue to be alarmed with some of the Leftist extremes of the Biden Administration, but what am I going to do about it? Even though I hate negative polarization, the issue is that there just isn’t any middle ground anymore.

And, as such, for the time being, I’m willing to get attacked by MAGA Nazis if it means there is a chance, a hope that at some point we come out the other side and can have a traditional liberal democracy again. Because I suspect late 2024, early 2025 is going to be extremely dramatic.

I’m always, always wrong, of course. And, yet, a lot of political (and technological!) trends are coming to a head at the same time. And I just don’t see how we make it through late 2024, early 2025 without a severe political crisis, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the end of the American Civil War in 1865. It could be catastrophic, with a Third World War happening in conjunction with it.

My fear is, of course, that just as we’re going to have a Singularity, a Second American Civil War and World War 3 all happening at the same time because of the severe recession of 2023. But I did mention I’m always wrong. So, who knows.

I do know one thing, though — pick a side, or a side will be chosen for you.

Contemplating Kara Swisher’s Theory That Elon Musk Is Turning Twitter Into The ‘New’ Fox News

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Fox News is a national embarrassment, but maybe not in the way you think. The embarrassment is not it is force feeding Americans seditious propaganda, it’s that A LOT of Americans want that agenda. They are wilful in their consumption of hate.

So, if it wasn’t Fox News doing it, someone else would be doing the exact same thing — if not worse.

Which leads us to Kara Swisher’s idea that maybe Elon Musk is maybe trying to somehow turn Twitter into a new and improved MAGA Nazi media outlet. I suppose this is possible, but I think the thing we would have to keep an eye out for is Musk assembling some sort of editorial staff.

If he did that then,yeah, Ms. Swisher is probably right. But given how fucking old most of the people who watch Fox News are, I don’t think there would be a one-to-one replacement. The new “Red Pilled” Twitter might be something for younger people, but even if somehow Fox News went under the slack would be picked up by OANN and Newsmax, not Twitter.

Who knows. I think the Ms. Swisher’s idea has come credibility, but only time will tell how much.

America’s Rush Towards Severe Political Conflict in Late 2024 – Early 2025 Is Accelerating

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

With the rise of “Red Pilled” Twitter, whatever was left the American center is vanishing at an alarming rate. As I’ve said before, to be a “centrist” in American politics these days is to be a complicit fool. What you’re really saying is you tacitly agree with MAGA Nazism, but you’re not willing to publicly make your decision.

That is all going to change in late 2024, early 2025 when it’s very likely that MAGA Nazis are going to demand Blues “bend a knee” to autocratic MAGA fascism. At that point, you have to pick a side, or side will be chosen for you. No more wiggle room, no more “both sidesing” things. You. Will. Have. To. Pick. A. Side.

I say all of this in the context of both Elon Musk “Red Pilling” Twitter, trying to turn it into a new Fox News and how Republicans have settled on a “stab in the back” narrative to explain why they lost the 2020 presidential election. Now that the 2022 mid-terms are over, MAGA Nazis are using their macro momentum as a battering ram to destroy American democracy once and for all.

Now, let me be clear — I’m always wrong. Always. And I can’t predict the future. So, as such, it’s very possible something will happen to punt all these problems down the road and I will yet again look like a hysterical fool. But the point of all this ranting is to make people sit up and take notice as to what might happen.

We have to take how the United States is tearing itself apart seriously.

MAGA Nazis As Fascist Khmer Rouge

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

The big difference between MAGA and traditional Nazis is they more like the Cambodian Khmer Rouge. That’s my biggest fear at the moment — that the United States is going to implode like Cambodia rather than try to take over the world like the Nazis.

There’s not much of a need for the United States to take over the world, we already have!

So, if our fears come true with the next Republican president, what our new MAGA Nazis overlords do will look like what the Khmer Rouge did. It most likely express itself in the guise of Qanon ideas becoming party orthodox.

Now, this is where I have to pause and say that the targets of these new prospective Killing Fields have the means to just leave the country. So, that would probably be the first indication that things are about to get lit — many, many wealthy liberals will simply flee the country, never to be seen again.

So, if there were MAGA Nazi Killing Field it would the average, poor people who will get rounded up and murdered en masse for political reasons. The reason I have this on the brain is I’m reading about the transformation of the Weimar Republic into the Third Reich.

Sometimes, the Darkest Timeline actually happens. And it definitely seems that on a macro level, at least, the United States is careening towards MAGA Nazi autocracy a lot sooner than you might think.

Of course, there is always the OTHER option, which is everything I just described happens, but it happens in the context of a National Divorce. Under this scenario, MAGA Nazis would be radicalized as part of a civil war. If there was no clear winner of such a civil war and the United States was simply split into to hostile nations, then while Trumplandia was beginning to see American Killing Fields, the Blue Union would return to some semblance of normality.

But all of that is very, very speculative. All I know is it is self-evident that at least the conditions are there for something very dark and turbulent to happen to the United States starting at some point between now and spring 2025.

‘What Is A Woman?’

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

If anything epitomizes how fucked we are, it’s the contrived “gotcha” that is the fucking MAGA Nazis obsession over the question “What is a woman.” They know that because for the typical center-Left politician (because of the political power of the transgender community) this is not as simple a question as the average person might believe.

So, as usual, the two sides talk past each other. Or, even worse, MAGA Nazis take any reluctance to give the answer they think the average person expects as “proof” as to how out of touch the “woke” “groomers” of the “cancel culture mob” are when it comes to the absolute need of every American to see Hunter Biden’s cock on Twitter.

When it comes to transgender rights, I’m pretty indifferent. I don’t think transgender people should be discriminated against, but I’m not an idiot — I can see what your typical Traditionalist in middle America is aghast at how conspicious the issue of transgender rights has become in recent years. And through in a huge disinformation campaign on the part of MAGA Nazis over young children and gender reassignment surgery and you have a recipe for a fucking custerfuck.

If our politics was functional, the two sides would have a lot of debate about transgender rights and, in the end, we would have some consensus as to what to do with the issue. But, HA, we can’t even agree on what color the sky is, much less something like transgender rights that requires a subtle, nuanced approach given the sensitives of both sides about such things.

And it’s self-evident that MAGA Nazis know transgender rights is a pressure point for center-Left politicians. If transgender rights is the reason you’re a single-issue voter, if a politician you’re inclined to vote for doesn’t give the “right” answer you’re probably going to scream bloody murder So, of course, that’s the one thing that MAGA Nazis hone in on as much as possible to put the squeeze on center-Left politicians.

The whole thing is horrible. Why can’t just get along?

Also: fuck MAGA Nazis. Cocksuckers.

‘Are We Going To Have A Civil War?’ (A Reassessment)

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Now that the 2022 midterms are over, let’s take a deep breath and think again about how likely it is that we’re going to have a Second American Civil War. The boner that MAGA Nazis have over this issue comes in large part from the fucking froth found within far Right circles.

It took me a long time to realize what was going on, but now I think I have a better handle on things — the reason why MAGA Nazis have civil war on the brain so much is they want the ability to murder people like me in cold blood without having to worry about any criminal accountability. Once the rules of war, not law are in play, then they can finally end the “woke cancel culture mobs” tyranny of “grooming” and forcing them to learn to hate white people and attend drag queen storytime on their way to their gender reassignment surgery.

But, you say, “Are we going to have a civil war?“

Well, I don’t know yet. But I can tell you that if it happens, I just don’t see it being because MAGA Nazis take up arms in rolling political violence like civil war expert Barbara F. Walter thinks. She’s so busy thinking about how angry Reds are, that she misses that the dynamic is such that it will be Blues — the majority of the country — that will ultimately face the decision as to if we’re going to have a civil war or not.

But I will say that for a lot of people — especially people within the MAGA Nazis community — the idea of a Second American Civil War has taken on an air of inevitability. It’s al very ironic because the very people who just need to be patient so they can get everything they want through politics, MAGA Nazis, ironically are the ones chomping at the bit to run around murdering people.

It’s because of that weird, ironic, dynamic that I have serious doubts that we’re going to have a civil war. If you take out the possibility that MAGA Nazis are going to spontaneously take up arms to overthrow their smug “woke cancel culture mob” overlords…well, I just don’t think the logical people to start a civil war — Blues — have it in them to do it.

And, remember, the issue is of Trump.

If anyone could start a civil war, it’s ding-dong Trump. But, still, any civil war that happens will be caused when Blue States refuse to bend a knee to autocratic MAGA Nazi fascism. That’s it — I just don’t see Reds doing what they keep thinking and talking about. They have no need to. They’re getting everything they want through politics because they control the “attention economy” with a tyrannical vise grip.

So, my answer is — we’re not going to have a civil war. Either we somehow magically punt the tectonic problems we have as a nation down the road one more presidential cycle…or we have another Republican POTUS and he / she turns us into an autocratic state that probably will, if we’re lucky, looking like Hungary or Turkey, and if we’re not…Russia or Nazi Germany .

Good luck and Godspeed.
