The Great Claptrap, Again (3/5/19)

TheFruitBowl (3/16/19)

this comment is lost in translation

which is to say
i no more "get" claptrap than i "get" wound up wind up monkeys that clap like they ain't being played

:smh:

The Prerogative of Fakery (3/15/19)

Sneaker (3/16/19)

which is to say

see also Workin' As Intended (tvfs)

which is to say

isn't the 'benevolence" of the dictator and the "nobility" of the thief and the "honesty" of the whore

the same self serving sham of we one and we all

who dress up our tyranny and our thievery and our whoring as "integrity" and "authenticity"?

IllidanRising (3/16/19)

wouldn't that be something

should humans hypothetically not human?

no

because humans no more not human

than asses not ass

Viking bønder nå og for alltid (3/16/19)

lolol

&bønderftw

FrederickTheGreat (3/16/19)

shams of "virtue" and "courage" rewarded with shams of "fame" and "power"

making shams of "commendations" great again

AlphaCentauriOrBust (3/16/19)

the pauper and the dictator perpetuo exploit the prerogative of fakery

because the pauper and the dictator perpetuo human

Time's Tale Isn't a Vanity Memoir (4/26/19)

8/9/19, 8/10/19, 8/11/19

Sneaker (4/26/19)

do people know:

i receive zero page views?

do people know:

i see zero dollars?

do people know:

i display zero "nobels", zero "pulitzers", zero "commendations"?

the know nothings who believe that i merit zero followers; the know nothings who believe that zero patronage is all that i'm worth; the know nothings who believe that i deserve zero displays that attribute to me that which is mine; know

as if to know is to make believe and to make believe is to truth and to truth is to know nothing

JiminyTheCricket (4/26/19)

a make believe reality that is a fake as slick as a reality show script

is a counterfeit that "the people" buy without shame

because "the people" don't give a damn

&thepeople'spoisonisthepeople'schoice

ThornsWithoutPricks (4/26/19)

telling make believe believers the truth:

there is no reward for gooding and truthing

is as rewarding as gooding and truthing

:smfh:

TheRealKW (4/26/19)

Sic Semper Tyrannis: Sum Mors

BenLewis (4/26/19)

there isn't a today that doesn't feel like yesterday and tomorrow

because

for all the "progress" of "human" kind and for all the "religiosity" of "human" kind

the "human" moral compass is no more "great" or "sapient" than the "human" vestigial tail 

notwithstanding

if this is the "image" and the "creation" of "god"

then "god" is fearsome indeed

notwithstanding

if this is the "apex" of the evolution of hominids

then the future of hominids is in the hands of a "sapience" that is "only" "human"

TheFruitBowl (4/26/19)

when silence is the spoken moral compass of money and power and fame and celebrity

rants and doublespeak and harassment and make believe are its disguise

for who hears silence spoken in a cacophony of distraction?

TeeteringBrinks (4/27/19)

it is easy to make believe

if you weren't there and you didn't know so-and-so

then no one was there and no one knew so-and-so

it is easy to make believe

what you believe is true and real

but nothing and no one else is

it is easy to make believe

speaking of &thepeople'spoisonisthepeople'schoice

NorskViking (4/27/19)

what is the "dealism" and "patriotism" of ranters and doublespeakers and harassers and make believers

but nothing?

for "dealism" and "patriotism" sans moral compass

is fair weather claptrap 

&ståmedsannheten or &ståforingenting

ABridgeTooFar (4/30/19)

when gooding and truthing

leads to discredit and defamation and persecution and pillory

when wronging and lying

leads to money and power and fame and celebrity

why is it "god" we thank?

for it is not the "hands" of "god"

that grace wrongs and lies with money and power and fame and celebrity

:swtf:

Persepolis (4/30/19)

"the people" buy without shame the promises of wrongs and lies

not because frauds and fakes and counterfeits and fair weather claptraps of money and power and fame and celebrity convincingly pretend to be "true" and "real" and "authentic"

"the people" buy without shame that which speaks the language of "the people's" wrongs and "the people's" lies

speaking of &ståforingenting 

TheRealKW (4/30/19)

the future you await is only an extinction event away

MirrorMirrorMeThis (4/30/19)

the people who see but not see

who "know" my page views defy belief; who "know" my dollars defy the wealth of nations; who "know" my displays defy every wonder of the world

believe

to see but not see is to be graced money and power and fame and celebrity

as if to not see is to know and to know is to make believe and to make believe is to truth and to truth is to know nothing

ACaptain (5/4/19)

is my philosophy rare? because i hear it everywhere i am, falling on deaf ears

am i otherworldly? because imitations of "otherworldliness" that are talentless and self-serving are neither sincere nor flattering

am i inescapable? because the new light is the same light that not sees the truth

is my immortality not wasted? because an eternity is a waste of forever for hell to freeze over and for pigs to fly

SkippingTheRift (5/4/19)

but bears and lions and tigers are a national emergency! an imminent and exigent threat to prosperity! a catastrophe that will slaughter all whom "god" has "blessed"! a peril that demands the armament of military might and savagery!

:eyeroll:

as if the truth is ever a steaming pile of bullshit

AlphaCentauriOrBust (5/4/19)

it is so easy to point the finger at the monied and powerful and famous and celebritied

and easier still to point the finger at frauds and fakes and counterfeits and fair weather claptraps of money and power and fame and celebrity that pretend to be "true" and "real" and "authentic"

but these people are not a different "kind" of people from "the people"

for these people and "the people" are, one and all, the same kind

"human" kind

who speak the same language

silence

disguised as rants and doublespeak and harassment and make believe

that is the spoken moral compass of wrongs and lies

Author's Notes ~

(i) if fair weather cocks flapping like flags on flagpoles are the very definition of integrity and honesty and virtue and courage, then fakers in the business of fakery are the very definition of "true" and "real" and "authentic"

(ii) to tender a deficit of integrity, a deficit of honesty, a deficit of virtue is to forfeit grazie that is mille, gratia that is mea, grace that is son of man

(iii) thank you for your patience and understanding as comments and responses are posted to this page ~ am
