Belief that the Government “Cares About” Humanity is as Laughable as Belief in Santa Claus

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork, being shared by an acquaintance from here, and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Before you make fun of children for believing in Santa Claus, remember, there are still people who believe the gov't cares about them"

“Before you make fun of children for believing in Santa Claus, remember, there are still people who believe the gov’t cares about them”

My Commentary: But… “muh elected representatives” and “muh public servants”… 🙁

Doublethinking About the Media-Manufactured “Fake News” Crisis

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Let's take a trip down memory lane... Tony Blair, February 2003 (lie) 'There are unquestionably links between al Qaeda and Iraq.' US President George Bush, September 2002 (lie) 'The regime has longstanding and continuing ties to terrorist group, and there are Al Qaeda terrorists inside Iraq.' US Vice-President Dick Cheney, December 2002 (lie) 'His regime has had high-level contacts with al Qaeda going back a decade and has provided training to al Qaeda terrorists.' US National Security Advisor, Condoleeza Rice, September 2002 (lie) 'There clearly are contacts between al Qaeda and Iraq that can be documented; there clearly is testimony that some of the contacts have been important contacts and that there's a relationship here' US Secretary of State Colin Powell, February 2003 (lie) 'Ambition and hatred are enough to bring Iraq and al Qaeda together.' US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, November 2002 (lie) 'Within a week, or a month, Saddam could give his WMD to al Qaeda.'"

My Commentary: This fake news led to untold levels of death and destruction… But, pay no attention to such inconvenient facts. Doublethink your way through any cognitive dissonance that may arise, and go back to sheep.

Canine Versus Feline Intelligence

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Anarchy Girl,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"A dog is able to learn up to 250 words and gestures. A dog can count up to five and can perform simple math. Equivalent human age: 3. A cat doesn't give a fuck and is sick of your shit. Equivalent human age: 42"

Meditating on “Circular Reasoning, Statist Edition Series: Example 1”

As I scrolled through my Facebook memories, I discovered the following artwork, which I originally shared to my wall in November of 2015, in my post, “Circular Reasoning, Statist Edition Series: Example 1,” and decidedly re-shared it, along with a new commentary…

My Original CommentaryCircular reasoning: “People are bad, so we need a government made up of people are bad, so we need a government made up of people are bad, so we need a government made up of…” *head spins*

“People are bad, so we need a government made up of…”

My New Commentary: “It’s not a religion!” – Shit Statists Say 😉
