Viking_HippieI bet she thinks it was rigged
elbuchoWhat’s crazy is that a month after she sent this tweet, someone blew up the guidestones, and the authorities still have no idea who did it. No idea if they questioned her about it, but that’s where I’d start if I was part of the investigation.
weren’t those things put up by some weird “new world order” people who wanted to reduce the world population to 100 million total?
anyway, she sounds like a psycho, don’t vote for her
Yup! No great loss to humanity.
The whole thing was pretty weird, tbh. The person who fronted the cash for the project went by a pseudonym, “Robert Christian”. The person who was approached to carve the stones for the monument said that he didn’t really want to do it, so he quoted a ridiculous price, to which “Christian” immediately agreed. According to the front man, the group he represented believed that humans would eventually bomb ourselves back to the stone age, and so they wanted to provide a guide post for rebuilding civilization. To that end, they designed it to function as a compass, calendar, and a clock, in addition to a moral guide. They inscribed the same text in several different languages on it that included such commandments as keep the human population to a maximum of 500 million to stay in concert with nature, unite humanity with a new living language, don’t elect petty people to public office, etc.
Anyway - he donated the monument and the land it’s on to the county, so the destruction of it in 2022 was considered destruction of public property, which carries a minimum sentence of 20 years, provided they ever find out who did it.
Those are pretty good points though, if our civilization ever collapses people really should do things different than us. Keeping the population in check to maintain ecological balance is something we practice on a regular basis on many other animals, it seems quite presumptious to exclude ourselves from that necessity.
That being said, i am also strongly opposed to the nihilists trying to convince people to stop having kids. The only people who would willingly do that for the sake of everyone are the very same people working to improve our ways, not the ignorant asshats. Those often make it a point to have as many kids as possible.
Yeah - I don’t really know much about the ultimate goals of the group that was behind it, but it doesn’t seem like a bad idea to plan for what happens after an apocalypse, considering that we’ve been on the verge of an apocalypse since the 60s.
This explains a lot of the story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEa3sK1iZxc
I’ll not spoil the story.

Welp. I was not expecting the eugenics angle, but in retrospect, I absolutely should have been. I mean, it was the 80s in fucking rural Georgia, of all places. Obviously, it was commissioned by a David Duke fan.
That does, however, make the whole Satanic Panic thing pretty god damned hilarious. I mean, the people freaking out about it are the same people who would have been 100% on-board with the group who commissioned it’s politics. Guess they’re just miffed they weren’t consulted 10 years before they were born.
Requiring permission to have children is too close to eugenics, for me to agree to that. I get the point, sure. But it will inevitably turn into something where only certain people with “desirable” traits will be allowed/forced to breed with each other. Humanity’s history does not make me hopeful that this’ll work out fine.
Oh i agree of course, but i would hope a followup culture does not make the same mistakes we do, such as forming nations and ethnic groups. With such a restricted number of people there would be plenty of resources and space for everyone, and i would hope they could avoid our modern day pitfalls.
A_norny_mousseIt’s the sort of thing these QAnons MAGAts get riled up about.

Police: “just to rule you out as a suspect”
*sigh* too good to be true.
Someone recently said that the FBI being run by idiot influencers these days is a danger for national security. Free reign for terrorists at home and abroad.
Well, yeah. The current regime is pretty explicitly pro domestic terrorism when it’s their side
My opinion is that it was 100% an inside job. When they were blown up, the state government wasted no time demolishing what was left and did barely any investigation before doing so. Usually crime scene investigations take a while before proceeding to clean up. Afterwards the GBI slow-walked the investigation to some extent, at least.
If no one in the government had any connection to the bombing, they certainly pounced on the opportunity to cover the tracks. Lots of conservatives thought that those guidestones were literal evil. Not a rational motive but it’s certainly a motive.
I’m usually quite skeptical when it comes to conspiracy theories in general but I have a strong notion on this one.
So, either they’re terrible at their jobs, or they’re complicit. And in either case, they’re stupid. That sounds about right.
Normally you would think that someone who would bomb public property would be priority number one. It was treated like spraypaint vandalism rather than something that could potentially hurt people. If it happened in a regular suburban park, they would be searching relentlessly for days on end IMO.
Luciferian cabal
Like… I mean… I…
I don’t even know how to respond to that, is she 5?
SturgistNah, 5yo don’t think like this. 5yo have a (not fully developed, but still) concept of what is reality and what is fiction.
It’s lack of education, lack of common sense, illiteracy, social challenges and a steady diet of QAnon type bs. There’s plenty people like that - always has been - except now they run the country.
FauxPseudo It’s all in the handbook.
mycodesucksI wish there was a Luciferian cabal party on the ballot.
I’d vote a straight ticket.
Goldholz No that was just Johnny’s contest to win, he still lurks but he hides from Johnny’s steez.
potoooooooo ✅️Except the devil was robbed.
Primus - The Devil Went Down To Georgia (Official Music Video)
This is EXACTLY what the devil wants you to think. WAKE UP!!
“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist!”
“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist!”
So you’re saying that the second-greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing Georgia a fiddling contest would get rid of him?
I want that on a t-shirt 😄
I’m not a believer in any of the Bible, but I wouldnt mind a shirt that said God’s greatest trick was convincing the masses that Lucifer tried to overthrow him out of jealousy and not because he was a tyrant. You can still find the mainstream propaganda pamphlets in every hotel nightstand.
Like it’s a typical story of a tyrant it seems, then someone tries to better things, loses and history was written by the victor. In the mean time Lucifer actually left and made his own utopia somewhere where everyone is accepted with no demands of sacrifice or worship, no more plagues, and without issues like health issues or poverty.
And Heaven spent all their efforts convincing everyone their Utopia was bad and full of torture and fire. “They want things reduced or removed healthcare prices, even lack of illnesses! That’s like socialism or something”
Apparently it’s slowly dying.
“Bibles are disappearing from hotel-room drawers around the country, according to a survey from STR, a hospitality analytics company. As AP reported in 2018, the survey found only 79 percent of U.S. hotels had Bibles in their rooms in 2016, compared to 95 percent in 2006.”

Riddling!
We need Batman.
otterNGL, but if I were The Devil in that beloved example, I’d also be looking for a semi-permanent way to get rid of that bullshit fiddle. Hell, at 30x the weight and made of intrinsically attenuative, damping gold? That thing sounds as heavenly as it looks. 🤢🤌🏼
Of course s/he pawned it off on the first swampfooted halfwit they could find. Anybody with sense would. 🤷🏽♂️
