How to Suck Fascist Dick

[UPDATE: SF Pride announces that "Bradley Manning will not be a grand marshal in this year’s San Francisco Pride celebration" -- and issues an absolutely nauseating statement. For reasons I will explain (hopefully, in the next several days), I am not the least surprised by this development. In fact, I consider it entirely predictable, as well as enormously revealing of what is fundamentally mistaken about the drive for queer "equality" given the nature of the State that rules us. This, in turn, ties into certain of my criticisms about "dissent" generally at present. Issues that are absolutely crucial in my view need to be explored in much more detail. I hope to get to all that very soon.

As for SF Pride's latest action, talk about sucking fascist dick...]

Here's a quickie. And here's a longer blowjob. (Links via ohtarzie, upon whom I rely for sightings of virulent intellectual infection while my biohazard suit is at the cleaners.)

Now, I suppose I could offer a lengthy argument about how stupid, demeaning, and humiliating it is to grovel before the State begging for recognition that you are a human being and not a piece of excrement. I could make the point that it is especially degrading to beg for such recognition from a government that is probably the world's leading purveyor of State terror, a State that regularly launches criminal, aggressive wars, as well as more covert murder operations in scores of countries around the world.

And I would be remiss not to mention that the State in question, through its leading national fuckwads (most notably including the Fuckwad-in-Chief), claims absolute power, that is, the power to murder anyone, anywhere, anytime, for any reason it chooses or for no reason at all. "Oh, please, please, Mr. Serial Murderer, can I please join Murderers for Hire? And before I go murdering all over the fucking world, could I please, please marry another fascist-dick-sucking queer? Can I, can I, can I?"

But, hey, skip all that. Look at this moron's own column for proof of how profoundly dumb you must be to choose slavish prostration to power as your preferred stance. Let us set aside all the Terrorist State-serving propaganda that the column mindlessly regurgitates ("Rather than condemn [Manning] as the traitor he is...," "Wikileaks has caused enormous damage not only to the interests of the United States...").

Take a look at Kirchick's penultimate paragraph:

For centuries, gay people have served with distinction and honor in the armed forces, and it is the service of these countless veterans whom today's gays can thank for the freedom to serve openly. Bradley Manning's actions are fodder to those who have long argued that homosexuality naturally leads to treason; some on the far right have argued that his actions were intended as "revenge" over the military's then-enforced anti-gay policy. It is unconscionable that gay activists, of all people, would play into these slanders.

And now look at what Kirchick wrote just two paragraphs earlier:

While it's true that Manning did struggle because of his sexuality, so did many other gay soldiers who once labored under DADT's onerous restrictions. The vast majority of them did not act out their emotional problems by leaking classified material to individuals with an explicit agenda of harming the interests of the United States and its allies.

Never mind the last bit about "an explicit agenda of harming [U.S.] interests," which is merely vicious, propagandistic calumny. See what Kirchick does there? In Kirchick's vermin-infested brain, it is inconceivable that a person might act as Manning did out of profound conviction and immense courage, and because of his certain understanding that criminal acts must first be exposed and understood if they are ever to be corrected. None of that for Kirchick: Manning took the actions he did because he was "act[ing] out [his] emotional problems."

But that argument neatly mimics the very argument Kirchick then almost immediately condemns: "some on the far right have argued that his actions were intended as 'revenge' over the military's then-enforced anti-gay policy," etc. Kirchick thus "play[s] into these slanders," condemned two paragraphs later as "unconscionable." Kirchick can't even keep the argument straight (oops!) for a few paragraphs, and is led directly into incoherence and impotence (ha!). Congratulations, Kirchick! You have won this month's award for The World's Stupidest Fascist Dick-Sucker! (Yes, it's true: the award is a tiny, tiny dick. Sucking fascist dick shouldn't be easy, and it certainly should not be fun. Anarchists, on the other hand, have very large dicks. This is science, dude. You're welcome.)

Kirchick also gets a special mention for the eager willingness to transform the most significant political differences into matters of psychological health and disease: "If you disagree with my political views, you're mentally ill! But don't worry. We have treatments for that!" I do believe that's been tried, and I recall it doesn't work out well. Not well from my perspective, at any rate. Kirchick plainly has a rather different view.

Boys and girls: sucking dick is a great and glorious pastime (indeed, some of us view it as a noble calling), one with a long, venerated, star-studded past. It should never be demeaned in this fashion. But Kirchick is an exceedingly minor annoyance.

The world-transformative, soul-stirring, utterly fabulous experience of non-fascist dick-sucking shall ... that's right ... RISE AGAIN!
