In case you’re wondering what level of totalitarian hysteria the Death Cult is on, their Twitter inquisitors have locked the account of Christian-themed satire site The Babylon Bee.
The parody paper’s offense? Referring to this person as a man:
The Babylon Bee has selected Rachel Levine as its first annual Man of the Year.
Levine is the U.S. assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where he serves proudly as the first man in that position to dress like a western cultural stereotype of a woman. He is also an admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. What a boss!
The people of the lie were none too pleased.
To his credit. Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon refused to bow to Twitter’s persecution.
If more Christians had shown that level of fortitude ten years ago, women would still have their own sports leagues and restrooms.
Babylon Bee Editor in Chief Kyle Mann followed up Dillon’s tweets with an all-too-common observation:
The ironic thing about Clown World is how humorless it is.
A thorough rectification of names is long overdue.
For a thrilling look at a post-future where things’ right names have been restored, read my hit mecha series:
Every single Christian on Twitter needs to spam the emails of the Twitter management with crying Wojack memes of Satan. Since they’re going to purge you eventually, so you might as well go out in style.
Comedy is serious; tragedy is a joke. It’s textbook satanic inversion of reality.
This is one of the reasons satire is dead. It’s been dead since Daily Show humor became embedded in every day thought. While Babylon Bee can be funny, there really isn’t much of a point to that kind of humor anymore. We all know the world is mad right now, and laughing about it is just a way of being complacent, at this juncture.
It’s like making fun of SJWs was fun back in 2016 and the like, but making fun of them now is treading water. The world is mad, we know. So how long are we going to just sit by and laugh about it? Forever?
Who is the clown, at that point?
Agreed, JD.
There’s no joke to be had in stating the self-evident, immutable truth that Rachel Levine is a man.
If someone wants to fire me, ban me, threaten me, or even kill me for not kowtowing to the Father of Lies and his Death Cult, so be it. By bearing false witness against my neighbor, I’m already in direct violation of a commandment handed down by our Lord and Savior.
This is, and always has been spiritual warfare. Making 2016 Sargon/Crowder type of anti-SJW humor just isn’t going to cut it anymore.
Counterpoint: if we stop mocking lunacy, doesn’t that allow the voices celebrating it and pretending that it is sanity (and mocking sanity as if it was lunacy) to drown ours out in the cultural sphere? They mock us (Colbert, Kimmel, SNL, etc), so why should we let them get to dominate which people and ideas get mocked? Why should we concede this (or any) battleground?
To my mind, stopping mocking them is like denuclearizing when you know your enemy won’t.
Mocking Leftist insanity doesn’t mean we aren’t aware of how serious the problems it brings about are. I’m sure Elijah took the issue of Baal worship in Israel quite seriously, but that didn’t stop him from mocking the priests of Baal.
1 Kings 18:26-27:
“26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.”
The way I think about it is this: if the other side thinks that a particular cultural sphere is important enough to try to take it over, we should take the hint that they’re probably right (because as insane as they are, they’re also quite crafty and have been very successful at waging a culture war for decades). Since they clearly think that mocking us and our ideas is worth their while, we should likewise find mocking them and their ideas worthwhile.
The difference between us and Elijah is that, after he finished laughing, Elijah actually did something. Or rather, God did—but He did so at Elijah’s request, because of Elijah’s obedience.
When American dissidents laugh, it isn’t because they have an ace up their sleeve that’s going to “own” the rabid leftists and usher the return of Christendom. The best case scenario is that most dissidents are like the Russians who lived under the communists; they laugh at their situation to help themselves cope after they run out of booze. The worst case scenario is that dissidents are parasites who rely on the SJWs’ existence to give themselves a market, so what motivation do they have to permanently solve the problem?
“Left” vs “right” is also an obsolete paradigm. You’re really laughing at Satan, and Satan isn’t going to sit back and take that.
A recent example of humor being used to destroy the enemy’s tactics was the comment section of the Santa Inc trailer. The Death Cult wanted to subject Christians to yet another humiliation ritual and this time the tables got turned on them.
It got so bad that Mommy Susan was called in to disable the dislikes and comments.
Not a decisive victory by any stretch but it was nice to see dissident Christians wake up and throw some counter punches.
