Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Dissent is patriotic, blindly following along with calls for insurrection from faceless leaders of a cult, not so much.

Well, crap. Kinda related, we were just wondering about the publication dates of “1984” and “Animal Farm”. How will us unwashed heathens ever research anything when the internet goes down for our own protection? Imma gonna go get more tequila. Sigh.
Mike with all due respect referencing the Sun as a news source is about as credible as quoting the National Enquirer. Its claim to the newspaper Hall of fame is topless girls on page 3. It’s a gutter rag.
I hate to break this to you, Henry, but the Sun is far more accurate than ABCNNBCBS and their dead-tree fellow travelers!
Mark, I hate to break it to you but it really isn’t, it’s just as bad and always has been. In the UK the Sun is considered a joke of a newspaper, I should know I had the misfortune to live there for 2 decades . It’s barely a step up from the Sunday Sport, now defunct or The Star. It’s readership consists of those that find the Daily Mail or Mirror too taxing,and that’s really saying something. The only real “credible” newspapers in the UK are The Telegraph (Conservative aligned, but politically roughly the same as pre Obama Democrat party) The Times & Sunday Times (leftward leaning), The Guardian(screamingly left, making Bernie Saunders look centrist. But sometimes shockingly fair and accurate once or twice a year lol )
Ah . . . politics . . . sigh . . .
Sigh, indeed. This is one reason I’ve steered clear of it to the extent possible.
Maybe I should just go buy booze before all I can get is biden victory gin.
Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you.

There is no need to adjust your set. We control the transmission……..
jack, you may be interested to know that this saying dates back to around the time of, oh, George Orwell & his generation:
Remember that even if you are not interested in politics, the fact remains that politics are interested in you, and indeed are busy already shaping your future. Remember that we are in history and not merely watching it stream past us…
– J. B. Priestley, Letter to a Returning Serviceman (London: Home and Van Thal Ltd., 1945), p. 31.
Wait a minute! They have photos of topless girls on page 3?
With all due respect to everyone’s comments….it doesn’t matter. Why? Because peons, you have absolutely no control over any of it. Zip. Nada. None. Zero.
Spare me the you can make a difference by…fill in the blank…writing to your Congress slug, voting, ya da, ya da, yada. Protesting, oooooooo, that’ll show em.
Nothing has changed in centuries except the peons have their own electronics now, for what that’s worth.
So just enjoy your life, you’ll be leaving soon enough. Quit letting the media, politics, etc. jerk you around with their jr. High hysteria.
Be like Joel, go live in the desert, or me, go live on a mountain. Now, I have another cup of tea calling me.
You can live in the Phoenix Metro Area and not let politics be to big a bother. But you have to take Joel’s attitude to it all. “…The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.” Try it, it drives TPTB, their minions, and groupies(Karens) nuts.
