Damaging the Brands

  We’ve seen too many movies not to recognize what happened. So many that we can tick them off on our fingers. A gigantic corporate entity recognizes a threat to its existence emerging on the horizon and starts taking increasingly diabolic steps to eliminate the threat. In the movies, the final solution usually involves eliminating anyone and anything that stands in the way.
 
I remember as a teacher, we once had to use this program that required us to present our lessons in a certain way in carefully regulated chunks of time. We actually had administrators standing in the back of our rooms with stop watches signaling us when we went over the allotted time for each segment. We were later criticized for not sticking to script.
 
Every year, the people from the program would show up and teach us what we had to do. They always worked in tandem like those people who sell air-friers, and always had nice, shiny teeth and big, fake-ass smiles. But the essence of their teaching was always to do things EXACTLY the way they told us to do things.
 
In the comments they solicited after the day and a half of indoctrination, I wrote, “You are not Jesus Christ, and nothing that you said should ever be inscribed in stone.” I said this because I could envision the day that they brought stone obelisks into our rooms. I also advised them that if they opened it up and told us to run with the good things, they could come back the next year and reap a harvest of the creative re-imaginings of what they had presented to us.
 
It made me wonder why they didn’t. Then I suddenly knew. They were afraid of their ability to keep up with the change and preferred to defend their territory via intimidation and force rather than the expose the short-comings of their brand. It also amazed me at just how willing our own administration was to do the dirty-work of this enforcement for them.
 
This led me to the realization that Jesus was not killed for what he taught. He was crucified because he damaged the brands of the Pharisees and the Roman Empire. He could speak the truth all he wanted as long as nobody began to realize that he was saying there was a better way to organize their spiritual and political lives. It didn’t matter that Jesus said to give unto Caesar, that which was Caesar’s, he’d undercut the branding of the two largest corporations in Judaea at the time.
 
Charley Kirk was murdered because he did the same thing. The modern left has failed to grasp the reality that their brand is shit and most people have figured it out. They keep pretending that we don’t notice that they kept adapting Soviet style news tactics instead of admitting their mistakes.
 
 Now, they keep putting on ever ridiculous performances pieces and staging increasingly dumbass pranks. The American people have eyes and ears, and it makes me wonder at what point they are going to start demand that the rest of us wear blinders and ear plugs in lieu of sending out candidates that don’t look and act like insane cartoon characters?

Not to mention, they’ve also gotten so use to their own flatulence that they can’t even smell the stench of what they promote. What will they do when someone points it out, demand we wear clothespins on our noses?
 
And I’m not going to say that the Conservative leadership is that much better. Well, I am actually, but only because the Left is so stinking bad. All I can say, that if the Conservative leaders actually did what they said they would do, things would never have gotten this bad. Instead of showing us videos of all the obese, purple-haired, nose-ring wearing triggered women screaming, they could have actually done something to stop all the bad shit while it was happening instead of waiting until the statute of limitations has run out. They’ve become the biggest bunch of whiners in the history of the Republic and remind me of all those Scottish nobles in the movie Braveheart who got William Wallace murdered.
 
Charlie didn't get killed because of what he said. He got killed because the kids listened--brands were being damaged.
