funniest thing would be if when Queen Elizabeth dies or steps down and Charles is all ready to assume the throne, here comes King Arthur, Excalibur in hand, sauntering back from Avalon like “oof what a nap! thanks for keeping the chair warm I’m back to be king again”

like, given that “King Arthur isn’t actually dead, he’ll be back to be King again someday” is, like, an actual aspect of the legend and a thing that a lot of people purport to believe, has anyone ever actually tried it? showing up to buckingham palace claiming to be Arthur Pendragon, The Once And Future King, and assume the throne? does the british government have a protocol for checking whether someone claiming to be King Arthur actually is? does parliament have a secret picture of the Real Excalibur kept under lock and key, only viewed if someone claims to be King Arthur, that they can use to confirm or refute the identity of alleged Kings Arthur? if not, how do they deter every jackass with a sward from pretending to be him? does filing a false King Arthur report constitute treason?

The rules are simple. “Arthur” has to show up with a sword. They give the sword to the Lady of the Lake, and if she throws it back to the claimant, he’s legit and gets to be king again.

So the test for King Arthur’s identity falls to the even less officially identifiable Lady of the Lake.  No one can even agree on which Lady, or which lake, is the official one, much less how to tell if you’ve got The Lady of The Lake.  All of which suggests that all you need to accomplish this is one (1) sword, a willing female acquaintance, and a nearby body of water. 

There isn’t even any requirement for “Arthur” to catch the sword, so the Lady can just javelin an epee right at him.

Well when you look at it that way, one might conclude that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

President Trump encourages supporters to exercise their right to free assembly, it turns violent and he condemns it. Leftists call for supporters to assemble and protest  it turns violent; Leftists  JUSTIFY the violence, even going so far as to misquote the late  reverend Martin Luther King Jr in order to do so.

Nothing says tolerance like there being one set of political views that’s Correct and if you deviate from it in any way, you’re a fascist.

I know I say gun’trollers stand on corpses to push their agenda, but I never expected them to make an actual corpse stand for them.

This feels like something from a cyberpunk dystopian satire, not real life. Like an episode of Robocop: The Series.

Who wants to tell him most gun deaths are suicides, followed by murders with illegal guns?

Oh, wait, you can’t. Because he’s dead.

Oh, great. Kojima was right again.

If you can’t see what’s wrong with this, you can’t be helped.

“But death? We were not made to say good-bye. Gods original plan had no farewell-no final breath, day, or heartbeat…Our final home will hear no goodbyes. We will speak of the Good Book and remember good faith, but good-bye? Gone forever.”

“You’ll get through this,” By Max Lucado

This is comforting, as I just worked tech at a funeral at church today. It was beautiful, as it made me wish I knew the man and it fed our assurance of our eternal home.

how fucking arrogant can you be to think any eugenics program could ever weed out “fascist genetics”. even if the “dark triad” was a reliable precursor to fascist ideology and even if “dark triad traits” could be reliably linked to genotype (they aren’t and they can’t be), how fucking far to jupiter are you if you think you can remove it from a population of seven billion, let alone in some “anarchist” manner? how do you programmatically sterilize anyone in an “anarchist” manner?

Do you ever see some discourse float by and think “Maybe I’m not hanging out on the worst parts of Tumblr, actually”

Absolutely wild that people are like “i cant believe people with guns are making the politicians feel unsafe this is bad”
Cunt what part of this is bad?

these ‘people’ be like “#eattherich #resistance #riseup” and then start squealing  like stuck pigs when someone walks into the state Capitol with a gun
