The Left Wants to Play Stupid Games

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

As the old saying goes, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” The Democratic Party is the China of stupid prizes, churning out 95 percent of the world’s supply and, as it just so happens, their recipients as well. 

The problem isn’t that so many on the left set up these dumb paradigms, it’s that the ripple effect of their stupidity ruins so many things for normal people who just want to be left the hell alone. They’re the fat kid cannonballing into the hotel pool while everyone else is simply relaxing in the sun. One dumbass can make a whole of people wet. It’s what Democrats do.

That’s why I love the idea of making every single one of these campus mutants as famous as possible. They wear their little masks, possibly because they’re immunodeficient – life in the basement between riot seasons – which just so happens to coincide with election years when Democrats need help motivating their drone army leads to a serious vitamin D deficiency – or because they’re hoping their faces will be covered to prevent them from being identified by any potential future employers. 

If it’s the former, that explains a lot. If it’s the latter, that explains almost everything else, with the remaining slice of the possibility pie being they are simply so physically repugnant to the naked eye that not to cover as much of is as possible with an N95 mask or a “Yasser Arafat Doily” (technically called a keffiyeh, it is commonly used in civilized countries to indicate involuntary virginity) would violate the decency of even the people who have no decency. 

Look, if I were there I’d want as many faces covered as possible too – the average leftist’s face is more effective than Ozempic as an appetite suppressant. I do, however, love the idea of making each of these “before radical plastic surgery” models famous, which includs putting out their mugshots and their names, attaching the latter to every picture or video you see of them online goosesteppingly following orders to intimidate Jews or other normal people who aren’t more concerned with the fate of a group of people than are the people claiming to “fight for their liberation” by duct taping themselves to as many of them as possible while they blindly launch munitions at civilians from the rooftops of hospitals.

I doubt the sincerity of people whining about civilian collateral damage when your heroes started this was by deliberately targeting civilians (because they were too cowardly to attack the Israeli military), hoping to inflict as many civilian casualties as possible.

I forget where I heard it first, maybe it was Bill Maher, or where it originated from, but it doesn’t matter because the sentiment is true that “The Palestinians would wipe out every single Jew but can't, Israel could wipe out the Palestinian, but won't.”

I’m sure I butchered the quote, but the sentiment is absolutely true and accurate. 

What’s terrifying is these drum-circling, brain dead rubes on campus would either join in to help the Palestinians or are so ignorant of reality that they don’t realize that once the Hamas terrorists they’re cheering on are done with their chosen target, they’re next. “But we danced for peace together” as your last words will only be remembered in the celebratory phone call to the parents of the guy who raped you then set you on fire. Of course, it will be difficult to understand through all the laughing they’ll be doing, but the sentiment will be conveyed. (Sound brutal? They did it after the October 7th terrorist attack, what makes you think you’re so special they’d let you live?)

The reason to oppose this outcome is not the karmic justice of it all, it’s that too many human beings not cheering on terrorists would die in the process. It’s hard to have concern for people who play stupid games and win – remember those girls who ran away to join ISIS, only to discover that they were catfished by terrorists using them as a modern “joy division”? 

Still, physical human suffering is not something to wish on anyone. Consequences, on the other hand, are since they are the only way people, either those receiving them or others watching, learn from their mistakes. 

Maybe some of these people will wake up one day and feel shame for the horrors they supported, maybe they won’t. But in sticking with one of my rules for life – that no business should ever hire someone it would be a lawsuit to fire – none of them should even be considered for a job unless and until they do. That’s why the people exposing who they are, people like the fearless Andy Ngo, who has dedicated his life to fighting these people, are so important. When future employers search the names of prospect, thanks to Ngo and people like him, the truth will show up and the resume moved to the circular file where it belongs. 

Play stupid games….
