| Virgins and more Virgins |
But, we all know that if an empire rapes it is no longer a virgin.
Virgins are a "dime a dozen" as they say, because I was a virgin once, you were, and everyone else was too.
But the gist of the concept I am focusing on in this series, is one that contemplates virgin birth.
The virgin MOMCOM sees itself as a virgin empire giving virgin birth to freedom, by eradicating the dirty births and replacing them with MOMCOM births:
The enemy aggressor is always pursuing a course of larceny, murder, rapine and barbarism. We are always moving forward with high mission, a destiny imposed by the Deity to regenerate our victims, while incidentally capturing their markets; to civilise savage and senile and paranoid peoples, while blundering accidentally into their oil wells.(Doing The Right Thing - Mithraism - 2). Well, you know, the high virgin mission is a destiny "imposed."
BTW, I am still pissed that I lost my virginity.
The previous post in this series is here.
And now for some profanity:
Propaganda is one of the mothers of empire virginity.

ReplyDeleteHalf in U.S. Continue to Say Gov't Is an Immediate Threat

When this question was first asked in 2003, less than a third of Americans held this attitude.
