It was always about hate…

It was always about hate…

Last week, I was horrified when reading the stories of ICE agents in Chicago dragging naked children out of their beds and putting them in vehicles. And while I was disgusted by the behavior, I was even more upset to see the reaction of people online supporting it. Because, as with everything associated with this President, you may agree with the initial understanding of the most basic argument, but the way things are carried out with such inhumanity and callousness is just tragic and if you are in favor of it, then you are absolutely a bad person.

How to Tell Your Friends That They’re Acting as Tools for the Fascists

Note: This article has been edited, re-written, and expanded as of Sept 16th in light of new information that has been released since it’s initial publishing, and events that have transpired since.

I had been fighting the urge to say anything for days. On any other week I might not have. My band had a gig the day Charlie Kirk got shot, and so I found myself on facebook doing promotion, and that’s where it happened- I saw people I knew and cared about eulogizing a hateful man. Not right-wingers mind you, self-professed liberals, allies, “capital D” Democrats, etc… Calls for “decorum” rang out, folks praising him for being a Jesus following Christian, making a big weepy show of saying this isn’t the way to do politics. I was perplexed, as far as I knew, most of these folks had never heard of Charlie Kirk, and certainly wouldn’t possibly be fans of his, would they?

Military Atrocities, Nü Metal, & Me.

by rikimjadamsLeave a Comment on Military Atrocities, Nü Metal, & Me.

20 years ago I was boots on ground in Iraq for the first time.  Roughly 1.5 million Americans can say something similar as veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).  
Many were in their 20s, and for many it was their first experience ever leaving the US.  
I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to adequately put into words what deployment felt like.  I write fun goofy articles.  I don’t write about the fucked-shit.   I don’t have the language.
I don’t have the nerve.

But I’m not writing about my experiences in Iraq.  I’m writing about something that came before.  Something I still to this day can’t get out of my brain.  A bit of brainwashing that I don’t think any generation of US troops before could have ever imagined.

In 2024, Patriots Should Not Vote! – written by Pennsylvania Patriot

In 2024, Patriots Should Not Vote! – written by Pennsylvania Patriot

My name is David D. I don’t want to give my last name because what I’m about to say might upset some people. What I will say is that I’m a guy who lives in a red part of Pennsylvania. I have a job and a family and I love my town and my state and my country. In 2016, I voted for President Donald Trump and then I did it again in 2020, only to watch as the Deep State stole the election to put in Joe Biden. Like so many in my community, I was furious that America just stood by and let that happen. But here we are four years later with President Trump wanting my vote to help drain the swamp and take on the deep state and make the America I know and love great again. But I can’t give it to him. What’s the point?

Shut the fuck up Owen Jones of the Guardian, you useless fuck. What do you have to say? Huh? Hey. You partially fucked up. Wow. You’re a shriveled, useless dick. What do you have to say? Oh, hey, the republic is crumbling… I bet it could be bad. What do you have to say? 

“The system doesn’t work for ordinary people.”

I Am Not Touching You- written by Jordan Holmes

I Am Not Touching You- written by Jordan Holmes

You are not interested in why you are wrong or what you are wrong about! You are interested in what you are right about! When you and someone are having a conversation, you forget that they are more interested in them being right than they are being wrong. Especially when they are wrong! 

How long did it take for you to turn on me or turn on to me or turn around to me or turn in my direction? What changed? 

You and I are in the exact same place we were before you were mad at me for something I said. You and I are in the exact same place. You are in fucking Canada or whatever! What did I change? Nothing!

But what did you change? You changed the way you thought about something for one fucking second. YOU were challenged by an idea that I promise you, you have not heard! Did I hurt you? Did I fuck with your day? Did I find you and do anything? 

Then why are you losing your god damn mind? What is happening? What can I do? I can’t do shit but write! I can’t do shit!

I cannot build anything, my hands are so soft I almost disgust myself! I cannot raise a child. I cannot do anything with money other than buy food and then give the rest away. Ask people around me, it concerns them! I am fucking useless!


I have nothing but words. I have nothing but my voice. I have nothing! Because you are still not listening to me!

The Tower of Babel – written by Jordan Holmes

I’m sorry, I’m not several thousand years old, nor am I a phd in history, nor did I ever earn a degree from any higher institution of learning, nor did I go to seminary, I’m just some guy. 

So, please, let me explain an incredibly difficult concept through a several thousand year old parable that only a few people have ever understood, and until today, I’m sure you didn’t. 

The Tower of Babel!
