A perfect metaphor is one that allows us to overlay whatever is on our minds. I don't know that there is such a thing, but dang - this gets pretty close.

Reminds me of: "What it means is up to you - I was just tryin' to make it rhyme"

Making His Point
Somewhere out there, people just like us are starting to let these asshole "conservatives" know that open-minded tolerance goes only so far, and that we're getting pretty fuckin' tired of their shit.

Today's Prank
There are truly heroes among us.
Gizmodo:
YouTuber Josh Pieters has revealed that he pranked far-right British commentator Katie Hopkins by flying her to Prague and presenting her with a fake award. Hopkins, who is frequently retweeted by President Trump and was recently suspended on Twitter, was awarded with the Campaign to Unify the Nation Trophy, abbreviated as C.U.N.T. And if you think that’s mean, just wait until you hear her hate-filled acceptance speech for the award.
The 26-year-old Pieters explained the prank in a new video on his YouTubechannel, which has over 1.2 million subscribers. And it was a surprisingly large undertaking to convince Hopkins that she was getting a real award. Pieters organized flights, hotels, a dinner at the Four Seasons, and even hired actors to play members of his fake advocacy group, the Cape Town Collective For the Freedom of Speech.
Pieters, who’s originally from South Africa but lives in the UK, set up a fake website to make his organization appear more authentic, though there are some clear hints it might be fake. The photo of the founder that appears on his website is the current leader of the Ku Klux Klan, as just one example.
The video:
I'm guessing Katie Hopkins doesn't really care that she got punked. She cares that she got the exposure.
Because some people are so desperate for attention, they'll act out - to the extreme if necessary - just to get people to notice them.

Francesca Fiorentini
"Knowledge makes people question power, so it's no wonder politicians try to defund public schools, raise college costs, keep people working too much to educate themselves and stigmatize higher education as elitist. Knowledge is power to us, but to the people who rule us it's a liability."
Yes, it's Al-Jazeera. (bring your own grains of salt)
But here's the thing: I'll try to think through my own haze of ideological purity and see if there might be tiny kernels of reality outside my own little bubble.

Tom Garrett is a Daddy State clown of the highest order.
Follow him on Twitter. Listen to his speeches. Watch the YouTube videos. And then troll the fuck out of him. Nobody deserves a good old-fashioned slagging more than this guy.

My comment at YouTube:
(and you might have to hurry - no telling how long his media people will allow criticism to stay in place)
Your "logic" is that banning bump stocks wouldn't save all that many lives, so why bother? Because - long guns? Well, what's the number, Mr Garrett? How many Americans do you need to see murdered before you get up off your ass and do something? 50? 500? How many?

Then you turn around and say we have to spend enormous amounts of time and energy and money to solve the problem of immigrants involved in 3% of traffic deaths.
You're an ideologue. You insist on taking every circumstance and smashing-fitting it into your narrow preconceptions. And the kicker is that you insist on using the most obviously ham-handed debate tactics, most often heard in a middle school cafeteria:
eg: "As someone who respects the Bill of Rights..." - what grade are you in now?
Everybody respects the Bill of Rights, dopey - nobody is saying anything about tearing it up except you, when you're using it as a false premise.
There is no honor in your outlook, or in your intellectually lazy presentation, or in your blatant attempts to impose your Daddy State agenda on us.
You need to go.

These Kids Today
Political (and other messaging) Manipulation might get some of us to believe practically everything anybody tells us, but it's just as possible that digital tricks get way too many of us to the point where we're not willing to believe anything about anything at all.
Welcome to the dawning of The Age of Radical Skepticism.
