Spring Memes

The box is full so it’s time for a big, meme dump.

Regarding conspiracy theories or conspiracy theorist- I’ve come to not fear the label. Hopefully you arrived here long ago. If a normie says they’re not into conspiracy theories my usual response is to laugh and say “well I am!” with a note of self-mockery, keeping it all in fun. More often than not, the normie will want to leave it at that. Ol’ Shumway has always been a little crazy, so we’ll steer clear from that stuff and just keep it fun, heh. But the heck with that! I feel like pushing it a little more now.

Normie-Look, I’m not into conspiracy theories…

Shumway-Wait a sec. You’re not?

N-Into conspiracy theories? No!

S-How can you not be a conspiracy theorist?!

N- Huh?

Then I can go on about the fact that conspiracies are real, frequent and important enough that the law even has a category of crime for them, and to speculate (theorize) about who is committing them makes you by definition a conspiracy theorist, and do you realize that about 3/4 of the nation doesn’t buy the mainstream JFK assassination narrative, and the CIA created the term to demonize, and…well…and….

but then, here Dave Collum puts it very direct and succinct, leaving no room for a light and fluffy dismissal of the issue:

maybe I’ll try this way instead.

When the Great Reckoning/People’s Reset takes place, this will be remembered. Look at him! Calling Madame DeFarge.

I grabbed a DVD on the rack at the library the other day- or I don’t know, maybe it was a youtube video among the suggestions on the right that I shouldn’t have clicked. It was a Beatles documentary. You know the routine- grinding out the early gigs in Hamburg, back to Liverpool, crazed fans, trip to America, Ed Sullivan, yip-dee-ding fun light stuff. But wait, what does this poster say?

Yepsiree, the Beatles sure have crazy hair, heh heh. “Unfair to bald men”- hah- splendid droll humor! Wait, what’s the other poster say. Huh? Nevermind.

I really like this frame. Someone asked himself, where can I get this message out to the masses?

When there are outrages going on, three cheers for the guy who upsets our little party to remind us about them. As our nation/world descends into madness, chaos and eventual dystopian , authoritarian control, we need the gadflies out there to make us uncomfortable. I remember the football game at the local university when Rick and Leon were out there ruffling feathers with their provocative signs and warnings of doom. Most people just walked on by. Some gave a thumbs up and some even stopped to thank them. A very small percentage got upset and bitched about it. How dare someone try and take the fun out of my Saturday football!

Of course you have to tack on the usual, “, within reason”. The loonies who throw fake blood onto the Mona Lisa go too far -and note that their causes are usually correspondingly nuts.

It’s a funny meme but a better picture would have had some well-known Democrats. Is anyone in the photo a Democrat? I don’t know about Cronkite and the TV producer Benjamin. Anyway, the they think we’re two separate parties thing reminds me of a time in Seattle when a friend, who with his wife was well-connected to the Democrat establishment, announced that I had to cut my visit short because they were going to meet the Bush family for a big dinner shindig; the extended Bush family was in town on their way to an Alaska vacation. James looked at me, expecting me to be shocked. “In private it’s not the constant fighting you see on TV. And yeah, we even meet for dinner some times.”

Some times. Right.

This next one is weird, admit it. But hey, Macron’s marriage (and courtship we must assume) was off-the-charts freaky to begin with.

Did you know that one of the first laws on the books in Soviet Russia was one which criminalized anti-semitism? Do you know what the penalty was?

Yay Montana! Congrats to us- we support free speech. Except for that thing about being the first state to try to ban Tic Toc. There’s that I guess.

Montana friends! Your governor puts the Star of David flag outside his office in a position of equal prominence to Old Glory (I was there and I have the photo.) He tried to ban tic-toc. As soon as he can get away with it, he’ll pull a Kristy Noem and kill free speech here too. Wake up!

Which brings me to the last slide. Hey, I’m not trying to imply anything here- purely coincidental as far as I’m concerned. I’m just exercising a right in order to keep it. You exercise it too, folks, or the EU-style laws mentioned above will come to your state as well!

Do you believe in the first amendment? Seriously friends- even if this image rubs you the wrong way, please realize that this is the kind of stuff they want banned, so right or wrong, as Americans we have to get it out, to save free speech if nothing else.
