I was compensated for scrolling through endless yes-butting in my blogroll when I finally found something that makes every sense in the world:

“Yesterday I said that commentary of the form “You know, they really shouldn’t have said that…” is problematic. To be clear, what’s even more problematic is aiming collective blame at all Muslims. I love offensive art and I hate collective blame. I have no patience for PC scolds with their “Well, now, obviously I don’t support violence, but you really shouldn’t be offending people…” and I also have no patience for the flagrantly un-PC “Clearly we need to blame random people minding their own business” nonsense that’s getting spouted against Muslims.”

I couldn’t agree more. And once again, I feel like I might be OK with people. My faith in humanity has been restored.

It’s like there literally is nothing but yes-butting in my blogroll today:

I’m not trying to condone or justify the murders in any way. The murders were horrible, and I hope the killers are caught and brought to justice.But the reaction I am talking about there is not a reaction to human beings being killed.

I’m starting to fear that 2015 will be the year of the yes-butter.

From the same article by the same author:

Yes, it is horrible that 12 people were killed, but how many people were killed by Obama’s drones last week?

The guy has nothing whatsoever else to say in his piece aside from these yes-buts. It might seem funny until you remember that yes-butting is a sign of extreme passivity and inertia. Yes-butters need to be shamed and ridiculed until they stop poisoning the air we all breathe with the noxious fumes of their impotent whining.

Here are some examples of yes – butting. This weird creature is yes-butting the idea of free community colleges to death:

I want to believe, I surely do, but I just have yet to find a free lunch. From what I have pieced together today, it seems that the President’s proposal is more of a trick to drive more control to Washington.

And this is a Charlie Hebdo yes-butter:

All of these things are far more serious than the Charlie Hebdo attack.  (Moral Moment disclaimer: yes, they were horrible and inexcusable.)

And another community college yes-butter:

Obama wants to provide free tuition at community colleges, a proposal that could benefit

as many as 9 million students, according to a White House outline of the plan released Thursday.But there’s one big caveat in the

proposal

These loser don’t do anything, don’t achieve anything. They just sit there like stupid pieces of uncollected trash, badmouthing those who do work, try, and achieve.

Sometimes people annoy me to an extraordinary degree. Just as Obama announced the truly phenomenal plan of offering free community college education to all Americans, everybody and their uncle started yes – butting the idea to death.

If before it steps back for good the state decides to do one last thing for the people to prepare them for the new state form, how can this possibly be a bad thing? A massive effort to educate those who are likely to be left behind by the new order is exactly what we need. It is crucial that we all get behind this plan and make sure it is carried out as soon as possible.

Time is running out. This needs to start happening now. I think I have written enough on the collapse of the nation-state to make it clear why education is the only thing that can mitigate the effects of the transformation for the people.

I’m hearing that the terrorists who killed Charlie Hebdo cartoonists are trying to escape from police. One of them seems to have taken hostages inside a Jewish deli.

I’m sure that now we will hear how the hostages don’t deserve compassion because Israel had it coming and Jews don’t make cute,  fluffy victims we could all legitimately care about.

In case my post on the Koran proved to be too complex for some people,  here is a more accessible example of why it ain’t the Koran that causes bad shit.

A priest of the Russian Orthodox Church (who is a son of family friends) posts on his Facebook page: “Thank God, these cartoonists were killed! Serves them right!” I’m guessing he hasn’t been reading the Koran a whole lot. And before you tell me he hasn’t killed anybody, let me remind you that his spiritual buddies have been killing Ukrainians since March with the slogan, “Fuck the degenerate West!”

By the way, Russians are saying  Obama ordered the murder of the cartoonists to punish Hollande for saying that sanctions against Russia should be lifted. But it serves the cartoonists right because blasphemy is wrong. And the cartoonists were all gay abortionists who deserved to die.

I highly doubt that these people saw the Koran, let alone read it.
