              So racist they hate everyone who isn’t themselves.

              TBH I detest much of humanity as well, but it’s mostly because there are so many of us that we’re wrecking the planet / ecosystem. It’s easy psychologically to dislike the faceless ‘other’ until you meet them personally and grok their individual humanity. At least I understand the concept and can temper my instincts with logic. These dipshits need a good therapy session.

                grok their individual humanity.

                I was legit going to say something until I looked it up and grok does, in fact, turn out to be an actual slang term:

                grok

                1. To understand something intimately and completely. (originally from Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A. Heinlein)
                1. With programs, having sufficient understanding.

      The first scenario is basically what happened with the convoys in DC a while back. Every day, they’d drive down, drive around a while, and then leave. I live in the DC area, but don’t drive in DC often, but from what I heard, the impact was minimal.

      I don’t know how many trucks were involved, but I do know those trucks are expensive to buy and maintain, too expensive to keep running them in non-revenue service like that for long.

          It’s interesting because no one could believe Alex Jones or any of these greedy mega/maga church leaders if they came at it neutrally, they believe because they want to, because acting like they believe it benefits them.

          But then such a cult gets built up you start getting true believes who are so caught up in the cult that they can’t think anything else. People feel the need to prove how much they belive so they join these crazy groups and movements, they love putting on a big show of being a warrior for the cause but of course they don’t want to actually mess up their life because then they wouldn’t need the excuse to be selfish… So they do meaningless things like go to protect the boarder knowing full well what everyone knows - it’s just some roads with gates there’s nothing interesting or even slightly dangerous there.

      I’m a pagan so maybe I’m misinterpreting but I did read the Bible in catholic school and I’m pretty sure Jesus said to do the opposite of this. I’m pretty sure he’d be saying that we should see each family as though they were Jose, Maria, and their baby Jesus as no different than Yusef, Miriam, and Ieshiua 2000 years ago. I’m pretty certain that was in fact his entire point though he’d also be saying that single 20 year old men also should be welcomed because they’re either good or lost and able to be redeemed.

        It’s doublespeak, a la 1984. In this case many of the words used are inversions of their usual meaning.

        I’ll provide some translations:

        patriots -> seditionists

        biblical -> cloaked in the authority of God – which here must be explicitly stated because their actions are opposed to any God of justice

        open boarders -> following legal and ethical principles (remember, these people oppose ethical principles)

        peacemakers -> those who use violence, or the threat of violence, to obstruct peace. See also, terrorists

        besieged by dark forces of evil -> opposed by morality, ethics, or the law. The addition of “on all sides” changes the ‘or’ to ‘and’

        As a bonus, “globalists” is antisemitism. There’s an old canard that justice for minorities = communism = Jewish conspiracy. This is particularly common among nazis. The convoy organizer is signaling that their group is accepting of these ideas

        I always find it ironic when religious people try to use race as a justification for their bigotry when Jesus was clearly of middle eastern descent.

        It infuriates me beyond belief that I was one of the few individuals who actually read through the bible when I was forced to go to catholic school.

        That and the absolutely abhorrent state of humanity really designates evidence that these books of all major religions are just the words of man to trick people into believing a god.

        Malleable idiots are the easiest to control, after all. The inquisition proved this and every major violent engagement since has just been additional evidence.

          What just dumbfounds me is that about every other year, my religious family start talking about how they’re going to do some group thing where they read through the entire bible. I know how that goes… Even while they’re reading through it all, they still cherry pick what they are going to talk about each week because there is just so many gosh dang words in there. Then they forget 60% of what they even talked about. Then they spew off as if they know everything ever about christianity while never having read any of the apologetics or philosophical underpinnings of even their creed, much less any other. It’s a symptom of the last few decades, I think, where we accept the barest minimum of understanding of a subject as being enough to confidently believe we are knowledgeable.
