WOKENESS sank the Sub!

Of all the galling crap conservatives barf out daily, their rush to blame everything on their current love of "Go Woke, Go Broke" is some of the worst. Ye gentle reader shall be unsurprised to learn that in the fetid corners of Twitter (ed: ha ha this is a trick, Twitter is a spherical cow and all the corners are fetid) The Quartering et al have decided

Wokeness sank the Sub.

Go Woke! Go Broke!  Repeat... repeat... repeat...  Just like CRT or BLM or Antifa, conservatives find something to blame.  But, as Woke, which conservatives can not define became their go to pejorative, Republicans successfully blamed the Silicon Valley Bank failure on "Wokeness" it was bound to happen.  I say successfully because all that matters to Republicans is getting their Rightwing drones to accept GOP lies.

It's just so, so ludicrous but conservatives long ago adopted the tactic of Pass all Blame, Take all Credit as their governing Philosophy.  They blamed President Barack Obama for the BP Deep Water Horizon catastrophe, they blamed HRC for Benghazi, the blamed Bill Clinton for 9/11, they blamed Jimmy Carter for the 2007 Republican Housing Bubble and Bank Implosion.

More recently, they blamed President Biden for Afghanistan, a thing no one has cared about since at least Pat Tillman's death in 2004 and really since the criminal invasion of Iraq in early 2003.  Ironically, Dan Crenshaw, the erstwhile "War Hero" whom conservatives turned upon when he tepidly broke with Traitor Trump and the MAGAT Horde, flaccidly tried to pin this on President Biden.

This Oceangategate disaster is directly tied to Libertarian Don't Regulate Me, Bro ethos and a natural by-product of Republicans non-stop effort to make businesses free of any and all constraints.  Republicans and their mutant libertarian off-spring like to claim no business would ever endanger their customers, why that makes no sense!  They'd lose money!  And if, some company did adopt, a murderous business model why the free market would sort that out and put them out of business sooner or later.  No need for government to get involved.

So, I hope those 5 people died quickly as the unregulated, shoddily constructed, non-maintained hull, slip-shod quality control, and laissez-faire approach to deep sea diving spectacularly and quite predictably failed.

Bud Light presents Real Men of Genius: Get Woke, Go Broke or... maybe not

Destroying Property is Not 
Okay... unless you're MAGA
The Real Men of Genius commercial series was probably the best extended commercial series ever conceived.  Only the All-State Mayhem series would pose a significant challenge (Flo from Progressive and We are Farmer's aren't nearly as funny as they think they are)

Apparently, the Bud Light boycott is already on the skids.

Seth Weathers ridiculous totally anti-woke conservative dad beer will literally never get brewed and I'm guessing all the MAGA Chuds who pre-ordered a 6-pack of Ultra White/Ultra Right Beer for $30 are content to have contributed to defeat the Wokesters.

But, more importantly Traitor Tot Jr, implored rightwingers to not boycott Anheuser-Busch because Republicans still get a lot of donations from the "King of Beer".  This didn't go over well with rightwing influencers who profit off of keeping rightwingers in a constant frothing fury of fear and anger.

Now here's the thing;  Corporations are not going to save us.  After the January 6th Trump/Republican Insurrection to overthrow the United States Government, many corporations swore off the GOP and declared their intention to withdraw corporate donations.  That last a few news cycles and by the time the 2022 election season rolled around Companies were back to donating to the Rape-publican Party.

But, remember it's not #CancelCulture when conservatives do it, and it's been shown time and again that rightwing boycotts fail, but conservatives don't believe this because since the W(orst President of All Time) Republicans have routinely huffed their own farts and believed their own agitprop.  What conservatives believe is they are the majority and it's only because of tyrannical liberal fake news media, indoctrinating education system which poisons the minds of young people against them, and cheating Democrats who stuff ballot boxes with bamboo lined Chinese Fakes and Dominion Voting Machines that keeps True Conservatives from handily winning every election.  

And since conservatives are are really the majority all of their voter suppression, woman shackling legislation, lies about protecting children, and anti-LGBTQ laws are good and righteous.  Lying for Jesus absolves all crimes.

The Woke Mind Virus 5: Seth Weathers wants you to unwoke your Beer wake up your beer belly and quaff his frothy pale yellow fluid

Chicago! Chicago! Chicago!
I recall when the Teabagger Movement inspired Racist Limbaugh to brand and market his bottled Limpballs Tea because more than the agitprop, talking points, and lies they spout what rightwing propagandists live for is to take money from their duped followers.  Half of rightwing performative outrage is "grift" the other half is the earnest desire to round-up and murder the Libs.

I always knew that for conservatives the content of the argument was nearly-meaningless, what was more important is the Presentation!  Rand Paul inadvertently admitted this when he made the analogy of the pizza and pizza boxes, by stating Republicans weren't goin to improve their pizza they were merely going to change their pizza box they presented the same old tired rightwing grievances.

Conservative Dad's Ultra Right 100% Woke Free Beer is trying to capitalize on the latest rightwing ginned up freakout.  Remember rightwing media outlets and Republicans have known for a long time that they have to constantly shock their conservative drones with OUTRAGE, to keep them angry and fearful, so that when the rime comes conservatives will support the liquidation of liberals.

But, as we've seen American Conservatives are the softest, smooth-bodied wimps in history.  It's why I don't fear them writ large in overthrowing the US government, though they absolutely want to, their lack of mental toughness and un-athletic softness makes them highly unlikely to mount a Nationwide challenge.  Of course, this won't stop rightwingers from committing Acts of Terror, which they've subjected Americans to in increasing frequency ever since the Obama DoJ warned the Nation about the rising threat of rightwing domestic terrorism.

Fortunately, for us while the 2010-2016 era represented the dying rage filled gasps of Reactionary Boomer Voting Power, elections since 2016 have demonstrated that the Zoomers and younger Millenianls don't want what the Republican Party is selling, which is why Republicans are coming round more and more to the idea of simply not letting the younger voters vote at all.

But, getting back to Weathers' Ultra Right beer, first I'm struck how much his design and name apes Michelob Ultra, so much so, I'm thinking Anheuser-Busch and it's deep legal pockets could file a copyright lawsuit or injunction over that alone.

Next, I don't know the brewing techniques or tradition Weathers is using for his Own the Libs Unwoke Beer, but, by its' description it sounds like a trad light lager, which while still dominating the market in aggregate has not been the go to for beer drinkers ever since President Jimmy Carter deregulated home brewing of beer and absolutely sparked the Craft Beer explosion and golden age of beers we currently enjoy.

But, as I pointed the quality of the beer hardly matters for whom Weathers is ostensibly selling this too.  Rightwingers are absolutely wedded to the idea of performative display of Assholishness (call it Reverse Virtue Signaling) 

But, the other thing about this one minute ad by Seth Weathers is how overtly homo-erotic it is.  I mean, I  can guess the thought process of invoking baseball because it's April and MLB just started as well as the connection between drinking beer while watching a ballgame (or while playing softball) But... He's sauntering around with his "big stick" in his hands and when he knocks that Bud Light can out of the park his swing reveals he's shirtless under the hoodie and it shows his sculpted lower abs (the so-called treasure trail), and finishes with him smacking his lips after quaffing the yellow frothy fluid, "Tastes like Freedom".

GO WOKE GO BROKE Silicon Valley Bank demonstrates Republicans love lies and hate America

"They were one of the most woke banks" -- James Comer on SVB Bank, I am surprised Comer did not blame Silicon Valley Bank's collapse on Hunter Biden's Cock and Laptop.

One of the persistent myths surrounding the Republican Party is they are the party of Law & Order.  Nothing is more ridiculous.  Republicans work tirelessly to undo laws and sow disorder into every system possible.  Republicans believe their lies about the Constitution only existing to restrain government and do everything they can to unshackle Business to engage in criminality and gross negligence.  Back the Blue and Thin Blue Line regalia are just rhetorical cudgels the right spouts to bash the left.  Just as they did with railroad safety, the Trump Maladministration specifically rolled back bank regulation and rules to constrain risky bank behavior.

After the W(orst POTUS Ever) Administration exploded the US Economy with the 2007 Republican Great Recession, conservatives took every opportunity to blame President Carter and fair housing laws enacted in the 1970's.  Republicans and Rightwing strategists know in this era of Rightwing drones being spoon-feed non-stop propaganda, it is easy for the Daily Caller, Breitbart, Faux News and Republicans to push the clever soundbite headline "GO WOKE, GO BROKE" and then rely on the relentless repetition and the ever churning news cycle to derail any detailed reporting of the true causes of collapse.

SVB failed because the Trump Regime rolled back financial rules constraining bad bank behavior.  After regulations are lessened or removed that's when Vulture Capitalists swoop in and Peter Thiel did it again

Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund withdrew millions from Silicon Valley Bankas of Thursday morning as the bank descended into chaos, according to a person familiar with the matter. 

So, as we keep seeing over and over again, lax regulation coupled with unscrupulous Republican criminals leads to Billions of dollars being swindled.  With Silicon Valley Bank, Republican's sleazy criminal behavior merged with Crypto Currency Scammers.  SVB was heavily invested in Bitcoin, and as we know 2022 was the year of the Vulture Capitalists pumping-and-dumping Cyprotcurrency.  BitCON another cryptos are also giant energy sucks but, such facts don't matter to the rightwing crowd which has received from multiple sources the Truth that SVB was the most WOKE, most LEFTIST Bank, in the history of Banking.
