Teabonics

A Flickr collection of teabagger signs.



On my less-happy days, I don't know how I stand living in a world that spawns people like this.

P.S. Not because of the spelling and grammar fail. Just because I can't cope with knowing there are human beings so devoid of empathy.

Lumpenproletariat is lumpen

The main problem is that a lot of them are not very smart. I don't know if the problem is flat ignorance, lead poisoning, or what, but their brains just don't work very well. Empathy, reasoning, language ability - all faculties are working suboptimally.

Well, we all know what it is. It's the devastating result of being raised by anti-smart churches, television, and nothing. I don't think most of them have read a book in their lives.

I mean, there are lots of dumb people on the left, but at demos people can mostly spell. Not everyone, but more people can spell and speak and think and stand upright while chewing gum, and so on. The teabag movement is really a race to the dregs.

'Lumpenproletariat is lumpen'
only it's predominately the middle class, not the lumpenproles.

Well, a mix of the lumpen-proletariat and lumpen-petit-bourgeoisie, if you prefer, with haute-bourgeois pulling the strings, but it's not as mellifluous. (All these marxian terms are getting inexact these days anyway.)

I'm not actually quite sure about that "predominantly." I think the class composition of tea gatherings is more expansive than that.

'I'm not actually quite sure about that "predominantly."'
considering how many of these things i've been to and seen, living right around the corner from the rhode island state house and with friends that have gone to them in other states, i can say, with some certainty, that it is predominately middle class.
and, also, they have such a seething hatred for me and my lumpenprole fellows that goes well beyond anything i've seen before.
they truly believe that anyone who isn't gainfully employed is someone less than human.
