The new poot fairy tale. . .

[arayder]

It seems that upon realizing that things aren't going to turn out as they fantasized in the various scenarios of the triumph of Trumpism, or the people rising up the poot mythologists have invented a new fantasy.

In this one the dollar crashes (it's a long story) and the world economy tanks at the same time the little nano thingies in the covid vaccines kick in and vaccinated people start dropping by the millions. At this point the thoroughly prepped are threatened by their neighbors (who want their beans and ammo) and the somehow still strong NWO sends troops out to confiscate all our possessions, which for some reason they want even though canned goods, water, fire wood, a garden and an AR-15 with plenty of ammo are now all that have value.

After the smoke clears and the well armed, well fed poots rise up and reinstitute true constitutional government.

My guess is that they secretly imagine somewhere along the line all the ex-cheerleaders, who dissed them in high school, will be drawn to their power and majesty

That's a retread of the Clinton's Blue Helmet concept from the 90's.

I imagine the fantasy has had several iterations. Each one seems based on the idea that government is uniformly evil and scheming while the poot/patriot is uniformly brave, competent and God fearing.

The fantasy also assumes that the NWO is going to take the long way around the barn to subjugate the world population.

The conspiracies just get more and more ridiculous. The conspiracy believers split into smaller and smaller factions. And they spend more and more of their time arguing with each other. Good. Goooooooooooood.

Oh, so the poots want a one-world government after all. With poots ruling the world.

This is the fantasy of those at the bottom of the economic pile who think they're entitled to success. This is nearly identical to the Macho Jesus apocalyptic fantasy that Jehovah's Witnesses think will happen in their lifetimes (never mind that quite a few date-specific predictions of the end of the world haven't happened either). The JW's believe that Macho Jesus and an angry God will come back Real Soon Now and will murder the 99.99% of the global population who are not JW's, leaving their bodies to rot until the JW's organize themselves to conduct all the burials and then occupy an earthly paradise in the bombed-out ruins of civilization.

I am not exaggerating the above. Former JW Lloyd Evans, who runs the "John Cedars" YouTube channel, provides source documents and videos along with snarky commentary, that shows the above is quite literally what they believe.

It's the ultimate revenge fantasy from people who feel left out of mainstream society, like the JW's, whose education and income levels are the lowest of mainstream Christian denominations (and headed south because of increasing demands to forego formal education, which poisons youth minds, and to devote ever more waking hours to spreading the word).

I noticed the parallel too. So much for loving everybody as instructed by the pre-testosterone boosted Jesus, eh?

We can note in Kaptain Karl's recent video he gets a sublime look on his face when he purports that, like the Biblical stories of God confounding the enemies of the Israelites, the enemies of his little pretend army are going to melt away while he is on sabbatical.

I have this theory that these God's-gonna'-git-yew fantasies are constructed because the folks making them up can't, at a psychological level, deal with openly or even secretly advocating for the extermination of their imagined enemies. What better way to sanction the violent deaths of millions of people than to say God says it's okay?

A long time ago, I read an article that discussed the Ten Commandments. In particular, the one that says "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain".

The author argued that this was not a prohibition on saying "goddamn it" when you hit your thumb with a hammer or saying "Oh God".

Rather, it was a prohibition on invoking God's name in spells, incantations, deprecatory prayers or threats. Remember, the commandments were handed down several thousand years before Jesus, at a time when the existence and effectiveness of magic was taken for granted.

These so-called Christians don't seem to understand, or live by, their own rules. No surprise there.

Reminds me of a few favorite joke-questions.

Where do Hawaiians go on vacation?

What do you do when you spill club soda on yourself?

What did Jesus say when he hit his thumb with a hammer?
