For The Woman I Love And Hold Above All Other People And Objects: In Case I Never Said It, I Hold You

Where do these people come from? Is there some hole in space that vomits forth moronic, race-baiting douche canoes, whose entire existence hinges upon them "connecting all the dots" to make everything about race? Hey, if you want to change things, then start having conversations and interactions with people while neglecting skin pigment. Focusing on skin pigment is wrong any way you look at it. People should be recognized for the value they possess, not their ancestry. When you rant about race and "take up the cause" for others who did not necessarily ask you for those things, you are truly mocking them and shoving them into controversy. Let it the fuck alone! Do some good ok, instead of adding to the bad...

Something I think a lot of fantasy roleplaying fans don’t pick up on is that the reason many games’ depictions of orcs and other “monstrous races” get criticised for being racist isn’t just because they’re dark-skinned and evil.

I mean, yes, there’s that, but it’s also that a lot of the tropes that are associated with orcs and such in fantasy RPGs are literally eugenicist rhetoric – and, more specifically, anti-Black eugenicist rhetoric – with the serial numbers lightly sanded off.

Like, you ever notice how common the following elements are?

Being capable of using complex tool and weapons, but relying on raiding and pillaging to obtain them, not because they’re incapable of making them, but because they’re simply too congenitally lazy to do so

Having an intrinsic drive to despoil and corrupt the fruits of civilisation, and in particular, taking pleasure in destroying beautiful things specifically because they’re beautiful

Being treated as childishly superstitious for believing in evil spirits, even though such treatment makes no sense from a worldbuilding perspective because they live in a fantasy setting and evil ghosts are objectively real

Reproducing rapidly and reaching sexual maturity quickly, typically at an age when a human would still be a child, with great emphasis placed on the danger of them “outbreeding” civilised peoples if left unchecked

Lusting for the women of other species, resulting in all manner of twisted half-breeds; “heroic” members of their kind are typically drawn from these half-breeds, who must struggle constantly with their base natures

Seriously, a lot of this stuff is copied and pasted directly from 19th Century eugenicist screeds about the intrinsic inferiority of the Black race – they basically just scratched out the n-word and wrote in “orc”.

(And no, you can’t pass it off as folks imitating Tolkien without realising what they were doing. While Tolkien’s orcs undeniably employ racist imagery and stereotypes, there it’s mostly anti-East Asian stuff, not anti-Black stuff. The incorporation of explicitly anti-Black tropes into fantasy fiction’s depiction of orcs is a more recent development, and at least some of the folks doing it absolutely knew what they were up to.)

I think it's absurdly funny that the Associated Press runs politically motivated stories like the one pictured above but then has the absolute bald-faced temerity to censor anyone (like me) who disagrees with the article, citing "Community Guidelines" as the basis of their silencing opposing views and opinion. That's my comment below, and it never even made it off the launch pad.

The Associated Press is one of those Leftist propaganda outlets whose alleged support of the 1st Amendment is as laughable as the Washington Post's tag line, "Democracy Dies in Darkness". That gem began appearing below the newspapers banner in February, 2017, after President Trump took office. For most reading it, I think it was supposed to be some kind of virtue signaling by that rag paper, with the subtle nudge to the reader being that the Post would be a shining light against tyranny and despots. I, however, see that line not as a beacon of hope in an ever darkening world, but more as a prophecy made by one of the engineers of Democracy's demise. They're straight up telling people what they've been doing and what their aim is in the 21st century. And the same goes for the New York Times and its "All the News That's Fit to Print," meaning it will only ever publish "news" that generally supports agenda and rarely sorts truth and integrity. The Times tag line should be changed to "All the News That's Shit to Print"; that would be a good start if they ever want to start reporting actual honest, straightforward news and information.

My Zen offering for today.

It's one of the last calculated measures to destroy faith abs religion across the entire world. Without faith, the people of the world become easy to control, manipulate, and enslave. But what these Enemies of Humanity don't realize is that we are all beginning to awaken to their conspiracy and attacks. And we're pissed, and so is God. So good luck with that, Globalists and Elitists...

The best breakdown of "Project Blue Beam"🤔

You’re funny

Thank you for the compliment. Humor gets me through my days...

A resounding YES! to this. Teach them to be self-sustaining. It's a golden lesson.

Type " Yes " if you agree 😇

I find it amusing that Volodymyr Zelenskyy is an actor by trade. Did that make him the Ronald Reagan of Ukraine? Seriously, you just can't make this stuff up...

And one of his better known films, a rom-com, is titled "No Love in the City" (2009). In terms of how Russian combatants must feel these days, I think the title of the film sums up the general consensus of the citizenry in Kyiv.

Boy whore. If he takes on work from other males, he's probably a catamite. Either way, he's an arrogant little puke who deserves any and all STDs he contracts in life. Excuse me now, as I go vomit and then discuss with my daughter boys to avoid (or else Daddy will make said boys disappear...).

Death is on the move, greenlighted by the government in all its infinite, unwavering wisdom and intelligence. Remember: you can run, but you can't hide... Actually, you can just walk and you're probably elude these stormtroopers. Tip: just head for some stairs...

This is quite possibly the most human and spiritually beautiful thing I've encountered in a few days. I felt my eyes widen and the corners of my mouth spread further into a warm smile with each syllable. This lesson I shall carry with me for many a day.

A spiritual-thought provoking view:

Do you ever just take in the idea of ‘strangers’? Folks that you see just passing you by onwards with their lives. We hardly think much about it, which is fair, we’re so caught up in a million things occurring in our own lives, but so are they— and I think therein lies the allure of this.

Honestly, for a moment, realize just how beautiful it is. Every face that you pass by, every awkward eye contact, every back of the head you walk behind, every arm you bump, every heel you accidentally step on, everyone.

Each of these people are more than their bodies and initial glances, they’re souls who’s origins span eons, they all have Spirit Guides taking care of them, they have aspirations & goals, fears, wishes, dreams they’re still pondering the meaning of, a phone call or text message they’re looking forward to or dreading, decisions they’re contemplating, materialistic possessions, ways of analyzing situations, their faith, personal shames and guilts, their own personal & cultural values & beliefs, emotions and ways of dealing with them, personal secrets, their own quirky habits, personal fears, their favorite and worst memories they’ve made in this life thus far, loved ones & friends who’ve passed that they miss, their own traumas and the ways they’re healing, their own willpower with reason to conquer each day, their own expression of identity & the way they love, and most importantly, their own level of consciousness they’re doing their best at. But through all of this, every individual expression each lifeform shows, we find ourselves all connected by one simple, Universal factor: Divinity. Whether you come from Stars & Galaxies afar, whether you come from inside this Orbit, whether your origins are utterly unknown, we, as a unified collective, are all connected through the beauty and mystery of Source Energy, and we stem from the same Light & Love that emits through all beings journeying this life.

So, my friends, I ask you to practice a simple way of perception, try to find that same connectivity in all people you come across, no matter their race, their age, their sexual orientation, their gender identity and expression, their religion or lack thereof.

Let’s love more!

Peace, Love & Light to you all!
