The Marjorie Taylor Greene case

[Swammerdami]

I've always had a fringe opinion of how such people come to be influential. The fact is that although we as a society are progressing with regards to general knowledge and standard of living, as individuals there are many who do not or cannot keep up. Just as there is great income disparity today there is great knowledge disparity. Someone like Greene represents that group left behind as far as knowledge and the status it brings is concerned. She and those like her benefit generally but their influence has waned within the society as a whole. The resulting insecurity brings about a defense of their ignorance.

It's a bit off-topic but this reminds me of an interesting point I gleaned by reading Cunliffe's accounts of early Europe, or Homer's Odyssey.

For the noblemen of Bronze-Age or early Iron-Age Europe, the goal of life was less accumulating wealth, than accumulating knowledge. Heroes were renowned for their adventures and heroic deeds, not for the amount of gold in their treasury.

Contrast this with post-rational America where pure Wealth is King, where nothing matters but money. Money money money.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Tells Woman She’s Too Old and Barren to Have a Say on Abortion

“I don’t think you’re having children any time soon,” the congresswoman repeatedly said, as though that has anything to do with anything.

During a call-in show on Monday night, Greene was confronted by a woman who told her, “My body is my body and I don’t want the government telling me what I can do with my body.” Based on her voice alone, the caller sounded like she might be elderly and while her age is obviously not relevant, Greene insisted it was. “Ma’am, are you having children any time soon?” she asked, not pausing for an answer. “That’s my question, I’m asking a legitimate question.” She then went on to insist that “abortion is murder” before circling back to her premise that the caller should not get to express her opinion because she possibly no longer ovulates. “I don’t think you’re having children any time soon,” Greene said. “So I appreciate your interest in women’s rights but killing an unborn baby is not a woman’s right and that’s not health care.”

I guess men don't get a choice too then.

Well, it will be interesting to see who is more powerful in this country, the politicians or the businesses.

...on the off chance anyone thought the GOP stood for anything but personal vendettas and petty vengeance...

White supremacist Nick Fuentes slams 'divorced woman girlboss' Marjorie Taylor Greene as the far-right figures turn on each other, videos show

Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist organizer who says he is working on the 2024 presidential campaign of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, turned on Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after she condemned him earlier this week.

Speaking on the online show "Politically Provoked," Fuentes attacked Greene's character, describing her as "weak" and attention-seeking.

"She'll go and say something edgy to get attention, and when the pressure comes, she buckles," he said. Fuentes told viewers of the online show that he is now "over" Greene.

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attended an event hosted by the New York Young Republican Club on Saturday night, and she hit on all the usual themes: Nancy Pelosi is bad, trans youth should be denied basic health care, Donald Trump needs to be president again. You know, the usual.

During the event, which also included Donald Trump Jr., who left his billowing Pig Pen-esque cocaine cloud behind in his limo, Greene actually had something new to say. Namely … well, maybe you should hear it from the Flaxen Klaxon herself.

I didn't know you could buy a Marjorie Taylor Greene at Walgreens'???

Christian nationalist U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's remarks at the New York Young Republican Club's Saturday night gala have elicited massive response – and condemnation – from many after she insisted had she been "in charge" of the January 6, 2021 insurrection the rioters "would've been armed" and they "would have won
“I want to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, we would’ve been armed,” Greene, a Republican from Georgia, told the group (video below).

Videos of her speech was as radical as it gets. She thinks Joe Biden "is a communist".

These people are so horrible that they regret their failure to overthrow a free and fair election and to commit treason.

MTG now claims she was merely being sarcastic, and her critics don't understand sarcasm. Great jumping Cthulhu! This creature is dumb.

So she's admitting it was a plot to overthrow the election.
