Since March 14, 2020, life on Earth for us humans has never been the same. On that day, Earth was first invaded by explorers from the planet Zargon located thousands of light years away in the Andromeda galaxy...Stop right there.
What they're telling us is these incompetent space navigators probably never got out of their own galaxy, estimated at over 200,000 light years across, and 2⅓ MILLION light years away...
These ignoramuses presume to teach middle-schoolers, who ought to be able to call them on this if the schools are doing their job--which they obviously aren't if allowing this foolishness in. Hey, we're talkin' New Jersey public education here, light years from anything that makes sense.
And don't you just love this typically idiotic cud-chewing class discussion pointer?
Is empathy the secret to finding a resolution?Empathy. Give them what they want. Reason with them. Kumbayah.
Just what do they suppose the reaction of the wolf pack will be when the herbivore emissary approaches under a flag of truce to parley?
And notice how they assume (and try to stack the deck from the outset to prove) the Borg thesis that resistance (that is, self-defense) is futile.
Good grief. Whether you subscribe to the Darwinian or Biblical worldview, a species that will not defend itself or its young is, at best, on the fast track to extinction, at worst, damnable for the crime of self murder.
In either case, the proponents of defenselessness are irrational to the point of being raging headcases.
I wonder how the school would respond if a student argued an alternative plan, along the lines of:
You've established in your ground rules that these genocidal monsters can be killed, as can the animals they unleash on humans. Your main argument against resistance is that they are technologically superior and will respond with reprisals.So, do you think a student in the New Jersey school system proposing this fictional response to their fictional scenario (no worse, really, than the slasher films anti-gun liberals in Hollywood routinely and profitably present to the same demographic to the delight of mainstream stockholders) would get expelled, probably ordered into treatment for using these talking points instead of the approved ones?
Yeah. War is hell. It's time to remind them of that.
So I propose we take our lead from insurgent movements we see here and conduct asymmetrical warfare via guerrilla campaigns. Don't be shy to use terror and torture--after all, they aren't human, and they're the ones attacking and killing us. Capture one or more of the alien bastards. Saw their heads off on video, and send them copies. Skin some alive. Eat others. Burn them. Make them scream in agony and terror as they die. And make all that known.
Take the weapons from those you capture or kill and use them against the invaders. Study the technology and make more.
Manufacture IEDs, and place them where Zargonians trade, recreate or travel. You've stipulated they have our physical needs so disrupt their supply routes. Poison their water and destroy their food supplies.
Booby-trap alien dead to kill or maim recovery teams.
"What's Zurg doing propped against a tree with his head in his lap? Let me just move thi...BOOM!
Remember what Clausewitz taught us about the importance of eroding popular support. Nothing quite does that like body bags and atrocities. Fill them, and then fill more.
Never give up. There is no negotiation, no compromise, no empathy. The only good Zargonian is a dead Zargonian. Rally under the uncompromising slogan: DEATH TO ZARGON!
Remember what is best, and teach it to your children. Make cutting off Zargoian antennae and wearing them on a necklace a rite and badge of adulthood and honor.
Live free or die. And kill as many as you can before you do. And then turn your attention to the species traitors who gave them aid and comfort.
Oh, and one more thing--you do realize this stupid scenario you farm animals have created will require those of us driven into hiding to actually do more hunting in order to sustain ourselves, right? Do you fools have any idea what purely subsistence hunting by starving bands can do to an ecosystem and the fluffy and doe-eyed little woodland critters therein? Ain't unintended consequences a bitch?
Just like those of you Marxist loons presenting this agenda-driven subversive lunatic drek as educational material.
Why not disseminate them and find out?
UPDATE: Thanks for reminding us about this, Mack!
Perhaps a potent counterpoint would be George Pal's "War of the Worlds" -- as the first Martian looks around from the crater, 3 humans approach with a white flag.
ReplyDeleteThey all end up incinerated.
I sense a market for DEATH TO ZARGON t-shirts...
ReplyDeleteLed by Xenu, and flying to earth in DC-8s.
ReplyDeleteIf you were a woman I would so propose right now.
ReplyDeleteMister C,
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you plan to make T-shirts of that "dead zargonian + captured weapon" pic on cafepress or something. I'll buy two!
Fortunately for you, HH, Chris Horton just, posted a picture of what I'd look like, so you can still back out and no hard feelings (no pun intended)...but for what it's worth, I'm beautiful inside...
ReplyDeleteI've been toying with T-shirts as an idea--(I designed some once for the Members Council in LA and we made some money at it), but you need to carry an inventory of different sizes, and that means putting money into stuff that may not sell. I do this stuff in my spare time and basically devote it to writing and activism--if I branched off into merchandising, that would suffer. I haven't looked into Cafe Press, but my impression from sites I've seen is that in order to do custom orders would make the unit cost pretty pricey...am I wrong?
Besides which Cafe Press would probably shut you down as doubleplusungood. They lean left over there.
ReplyDeleteI just got an idea of a way to do this economically with no inventory--let me develop it over the next few days...
ReplyDelete> On that day, Earth was first invaded by explorers from the planet Zargon located thousands of light years away in the Andromeda galaxy...
ReplyDeleteThese invaders...they don't happen to look like blancmanges, do they? :-)

Friday I re-read *HGWells* The War of the Worlds. The incident Mack mentions is in the original. Also notable is the episode where a lady repels a would be horse-jacker. "She did have a revolver after all." That was an encounter between the hunted humans in the flight from London. all the best,

With many reservations, I recall seeing someone report of Werner Von Braun in his later years saying that false claims of alien invasion might be made. The biographer's first name is Carol. The site was not an especially facially reliable one, and I perhaps wouldn't have mentioned it but for the fact the I just got an e-mail msg from a news site "Did A UFO Buzz the White House?"
ReplyDeleteI think we can all appreciate that even a UFO does not an alien invasion make. But the Welles' broadcast of IIRC The War of The Worlds caused something of a panic and the "attack of the aliens" would be the ultimate national or more emergency.
Take it for what it's worth, but I don't know what it's worth.
You could always just sell iron-on transfers. Much easier to store and one size fits all to boot!
ReplyDeleteIf this is the best these poor folk can come up with they are in pretty pitiful shape. George Malkmus has a better argument and he is way out in the weeds.
ReplyDeleteIf the best argument they have is a “fantasyland/fairy tale maybe” they need to get a life. Man was directed to eat flesh after the flood, and our bodies require it anyway. But to use the non-sequitur of defenseless to justify anti-hunting is ridiculous.
Biblically, to defend or not, is not a particularly “cut and dried” issue. But to make the blanket assertion that one should “never” defend oneself or one’s family/community is not biblical either, and is irresponsible in the extreme.
That sounds like what usually happens when an area of our planet gets invaded by technologically superior killers. Hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteAnon--the iron on transfers is the idea I was referring to--that way, anyone with a printer can make their own--all they need is the special paper--what I need to do is make some up and put them on esnips so they can be downloaded--but it would have to be for free, since I'm making fair use of the animal people's artwork from their handout materials by modifying it and adding commentary.
ReplyDeleteGive me a few days and I'll put together a few samples.
USA Today, 15 March: The National Rifle Association is in talks with the Zargonians to see if some middle ground can be found for the human race besides genocide. "There might be room for 'reasonable regulation' if we could just get them to stop killing our emissaries, said Wayne LaPierre." Meanwhile, the American Sportsmen and Hunters Association issued a call for citizens unconnected with the government to use only bolt action rifles and shotguns on the Zargonians. Billhooks, pikes, bows and arrows, slings and rocks were also permissable, they said. Funeral arrangements for President-for-Life Michelle Obama were uncertain as Washington, DC has been held by the Zargonians since their arrival yesterday. Her last words were, "Don't come to my kingdom and try to pull that 'invincible alien' sh-t on me . . ." Rumors that her body was eaten have not been confirmed.
ReplyDeleteDavid, thank you so much for finding pictures of that scene!
ReplyDeleteObviously, that last picture says it all.
This quote has implications for the gun control crowd:
"We know now we can't beat their machines. We've got to beat them."
The propaganda carefully emphasizes "the cruelty of the Zargonian hunters and how it twists all aspects of human life."
ReplyDeleteA cruel hunter is often a trophyless and meatless hunter. A clean humane kill means no tracking and loss of a wounded animal.
"We are helpless to prevent the slaughter." Because we gave up all our cruel guns when ObamaCain said to.
Some schoolchildren NEED to be taught that killing is wrong. I think they'll identify with the Zargonians more than the oppressed humans, and seeing fellow humans as defenseless animals would be an IMPROVEMENT, since they see them as OBJECTS now.
Humans are among the few species that, when natural predators are removed, do NOT overbreed to the point of starvation and disease. When those things happen to people, there's usually a political cause. Recently, the cause has been ANIMAL RIGHTS (Alaska has all the oil we need, it can be pumped out from drilling facilities with a tiny environmental footprint, and there are more disastrous accidents with supertankers importing oil than East and Gulf Coast seabed drilling).
ReplyDeletePEOPLE FIRST, dammit!
Your response to these mindless idiots reminds me of the mini-series "V", especially the part about collaborators and quislings...
