We are the Borg. Surrender your vessel and prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is futile. We will do no such thing. Raise shields and prepare to open fire. Oh so just because you disagree with us it's okay to use violence. So much for the tolerant Federation.

MAD Magazine, 1968.
Chapter One See the Super Patriot. Hear him preach how he loves his country. Hear him preach how he hates "Liberals" And "Moderates" ... and "Intellectuals" And "Activists"... and "Pacifists" And "Minority Groups". ... and "Aliens" And "Unions"... and "Teenagers" And the "Very Rich" ...and the "Very Poor" And "People With Foreign-Sounding Names" Now you know what a Super Patriot is. He's someone who loves his country While hating 93% of the people who live in it.

The 800 most senior US Military officers proved to be the toughest room on earth for Pete Kegsbreath’s disastrous attempt at dressing down people who know what they’re doing.

No the fuck he wasn’t:
Here's a list of Kirk's bad takes. • Gay people should be stoned to death • Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane • Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband • No one should be allowed to retire • Leftists should not be allowed to move to red states • British Colonialism was what "made the world decent" • The guy who assaulted the Pelosi's should be bailed out • Religious freedom should be terminated • Multiple black politicians "stole white people's spots" • MLK Jr was "an awful person" • The Great Replacement Theory is reality • Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID • Vaccine requirements are "medical apartheid" • Women's natural place is under their husband's control • Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control • George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn't • The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a "huge mistake" • Mamdani winning in NY was a travesty because Muslims did 9/11 • Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western Civilization • Palestine "doesn't exist" and those who support it are like the KKK • Empathy is a negative modern trait. Oh and almost forgot. If his own 10 year old daughter was raped she should be forced to deliver the baby.

"Listen here's the thing - I don't know what you kids are up to, but I do know one thing: laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic, ethnic group in a given nation. It's just a promise of violence that's enacted and police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean? You guys want to make some bacon?" -Bud Cubby, postman, community organizer, anarchosocialist freedom fighter
