Freshwater Shrimp get infected with a parasite that turn them into cannibals. Nature is cool. They get infected by a tiny parasite that is only the size of a human red blood cell and that lives in the host’s muscles and relies on the host for food. The increased demand for food by the parasite drives the host to cannibalize their own.
This phenomenon makes me look at the current cancel culture and the news this week and giggle. I will re-cap:
Bruce Springsteen was all over social media for his 2-minute long commercial calling for people to return to “The Middle”. Naturally, since he recently did a Sirius episode “poem” with the title: “From My Home to Yours, Volume 14: Farewell to the Thief.” And, was quoted as saying, “it is time for an exorcism in our nation’s Capital. Welcome to our Halloween/election day monster mash. In just a few days, we’ll be throwing the bums out. I thought it was a fucking nightmare, but it was so true”. It’s a lovely poem that screams of middle ground and unity … um, not.
So, the fact that he was getting trashed for a day and a half over the Super Bowl commercial spot because the hypocrisy of calling for middle ground while only months before calling for an exorcism was only surprising to the leftists who still seem to believe they can say whatever they want and also say unity and that isn’t going to make people stare blankly back at them while blinking slowly.
But, THEN … dun, dun, dun … the Boss had recently got a DWI and the Jeep people CANCELLED him. It seems that the crooner that was one of my favorites as a child got infected with the parasite of partisan political hate and hypocrisy and then got eaten by his own. Ooops. The canceller got cancelled. NOWWWW … I would love to see Jeep do something to tick the left off so they can boycott them like the My Pillow Guy and the parasitic, cancel-cannibalism cycle can continue!!!
Just as the Boss was exiting stage left, Enter Mark Cuban stage right. Man, this one disappoints me. I like the hometown Pittsburgh boy made it big story that was Cuban. I got that he dipped his toes into politics here and there. I found his stances pretty neutral and thought-provoking. Then, for the last few days he blew up the internet by cancelling the National Anthem at his NBA Dallas Maverick’s home games.
BUT, the NBA stepped in and said that the anthem was policy and they re-instated it. Cuban essentially went, “Okay, cool.” He said he only removed it due to ongoing conversations with members of the community who felt the tradition “did not fully represent them”. Um, ok. It’s the NATIONAL Anthem, you know, the one for the United States of America … where you live … and you are playing in the AMERICAN Airlines Center, to make it only more ironic and moronic … but, okie dokie. Now, I am waiting for people on both sides to cancel the NBA. Some will refuse to watch because the players say our anthem “doesn’t represent them” and the rest will cancel it because the NBA MADE them play it. Maybe then seven dudes that don’t follow politics but love basketball will tune in and the whole empire of adults getting millions to play with balls will crumble. (Doubt it … but, a girl can dream)
So, as much as Conservatives are complaining about being cancelled right now … this may give you a ray of hope. It seems that the cancel culture that is so infected with the parasite of stomping out anyone that does not agree with them may have become so voracious that they are now beginning to eat their own!
Yippee!
Some advice for Conservatives, lay low and let them have at each other! Don’t make any weird comments or sudden movements. Their parasite of power drunken, finger pointing, judging, and political correctness on crack has driven them into a feeding frenzy. Don’t be the meal! “You offended me … you are CANCELLED! Gobble, gobble, Well, you offended me back … I double dog cancel you! Gobble, gobble. How dare you double dog cancel me??? I will cancel you and all your kin! Gobble, gobble, gulp, BURP.”
I am personally going to pop popcorn and try to act apolitical and watch them eat their own like freshwater shrimp! I will take The Boss with a side of cocktail sauce and tartar once the madness ends.
