Daughter of Discord

I love how even in the 80s, the joke doesn't misgender her once the transformation has happened.

Mr Rogers was a republican.
He was a white christian cis het man.

He prayed and read the Bible every day.

He created a children's TV show with taxpayer money in which he promoted his "christian views" to a secular audience through secular media.

He studied other religions and other cultures to improve on his reach and connection. He never preached or quoted scripture--yet, we all got the message he intended for us.

He appealed to President Nixon and Congress to continue to fund the creation of PBS with a persuasive speech that is one of the most studied for public speaking and PR. A gentle but powerful speaker.

While white people were pouring concrete into public pools rather than share with black neighrbors, Fred Rogers broadcast himself sharing a quiet conversation in a pool with African-American music and co-worker, Francios Clemmons. The softest act of defiance against White Supremacy.

He was the most demanded speaker on college campuses--he did not have to con his way onto campus to speak and nazis and counter-protesters did not follow his appearances---You know, despite the fact that he was a white christian man promoting christian values to the general public.

Every generation since the 1968 has been positively impacted by Mr Rogers.

Even children in the past 20 years are benefiting from his legacy at PBS --his methods and messages are STILL used in children's programming around the world.

No one had to mandate mourning his death because we all actually felt a genuine loss when he passed away. Even grown adults, who had not watched his show for 10 years by the time he passed, felt a piece of genuine goodness leave the planet.

We did not have to be Christian with Mr Rogers for him to do so much for us.

He never asked us to be Christian with him.

He only asked us to be his neighbor.

So...

If you find that the general public is rejecting your brand of Christianity, it might because you are a horrible fucking person with a 2000 yr old book of shitty excuses that no one is buying into.

It might be because you are a filthy grifter looking to capitalize off end-times hysteria and seniors with end-of-life anxieties.

It might be cause you are a disgusting bigot trying to reap superiority while evading moral accountability.

It probably has nothing to do at all with you actually "being a christian".

Cause we all fucking loved Mr Rogers.

I see liberals blaming the left for the loss of voting rights and yet the same Supreme Court that overturned the voting rights act overturned Roe v. Wade with Biden in power.

I guess Biden voters voted for that according to liberal logic.

He sure as shit didn't do anything to stop it.

Most people who extol the virtues of capitalism aren’t actually capitalists. A capitalist is someone who owns and manages capital. The word for someone who neither owns nor manages capital yet who defends capitalism is ‘sucker.’

With liberals blaming the left for voting rights being lost today, I feel compelled to repost the sickest burn I've ever seen on Bluesky:

Thank you, Anansi. Glory to the Spider God

I am guilty of killing a man via Engel's concept of social murder, but I honestly don't feel any guilt at all.

I had a roommate who was abusive to the point that I was considering suicide. I hated him and wanted him dead.

Then his pattern of drunken abuse got him fired from his job, which he did from home. He NEVER left the house and that was oppressive as well.

After two months of paying his half of the internet bill twice and his half of the utilities twice I told my landlord he had to stop giving this guy chances, that he was never going to get his back rent from the guy.

And I took the router into my room and plugged my computer directly into the modem because the ONLY job this guy was willing to look for was one that allowed him to sit on his ass at home all day and get drunk.

My landlord finally kicked him out and in all probability he will die on the streets.

And I don't fucking care. Because it was the only way for me to escape an abusive situation because I certainly wasn't going to leave the home I have lived in for 10 years.

Two years of misery and abuse have come to an end and probably at the cost of this guy's life and honestly, fuck him. He should have moved a long time ago when I told him he was making me miserable.

I don't believe in landlords and homelessness and wish he had a safe place to go, just far away from me, but he didn't even have enough respect for me to find that safe place a long time ago when I told him he needed to get the fuck out of my house.

But it was Democrat's fault 😕

Hillary Clinton lost a fixed bum fight to the human equivalent of cheeseburger value meal and now liberals are telling me to "enjoy the camps" 😭
