The scorpion has no sense of humor.
Nor do the scorpion sheep.
They settle for the safe, very self conscious, 'politically correct', giggle. Mostly when promoted to do so, on cue, by the rest of the herd.
A 'herd' of sheep scorpions?
Hmmm
...a 'flock' of sheep scorpions?
...Double hmmm...
They all sound a bit too 'fluffy', for my liking...
(any suggestions?)
*Just goggled - it's a nest of (sheep) scorpions.
Or bed.
Beds are good, so we'll discount that one.
Nest it is.
That illicit's a much more accurate image...
Factoid -
...We have lots of scorpions running around outside our house, living under stones and bits of wood - so gotta be a bit careful when moving stuff in the garden.
I quite like 'em actually - but they're nothing like the ones we're talking about here (the ones outside are honest).
Another factoid -
You cannot laugh AND be in a state of fear at the same time.
Oh I'm full of factoids now, Neitzsche, Alinsky, and the abyss are just gonna have to wait.
HATE is not the opposite of LOVE.
FEAR IS.
Show me a person who fears what another has to say, (censorship, etc)....and I'll show you a person living in as state of fear, the opposite of LOVE.
(often accompanied by a uber smiley face - to hide the lack of love).
They cannot , unashamedly, really laugh.
Breaking news !
20,000 new age, uber spiritual people are now having meltdowns and calling @lucylin a hater while booking an urgent appointment to see their guru...
OR...how the uber spiritually enlightened see me, for some strange reason...
(they don't really understand the psychological phenomenon called projection ...bless).
Yet I identify as a blonde hottie..
(before she went nuts)
Words can tell you so much....?
Especially when supported by actions...
DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE A SHEEP SCORPION OR NOT ?
SUPPORTING CENSORSHIP, USING CENSORSHIP TOOLS, OR TRYING TO ENFORCE CENSORSHIP - TELLS YOU THAT YOU ARE MOST VERY PROBABLY, A SHEEP SCORPION...
(OR, INDEED - A 100%, LEGIT SCORPION)
Authoritarians like it when people laugh on queue.
Authoritarians love a well trained studio audience ... or better yet a properly moderated canned laughter.
Biographies of dictators indicate that most dictators had a sharp sense of humor.
Of course, being authoritarians, they seek to control which memes are considered funny and which groups one can ridicule.
Dictators can be 'frogs' - i.e benevolent ....(the preferred political state of affairs in my opinion).
This is why 'benevolent dictators' (kings and their equivalents) allowed for court jesters to be par t of proceedings - to take the piss out of them.
(and no problem with satire at their expense in the theaters etc) .
No insecurity (the frog state, or 'master morality' in Nietzsche's terms), with the self recognition of them being human and being able to laugh at themselves (love) - even if all powerful at the same time.
The collectivist commies are the opposite - ALL insecurity, and fear. (no love)...'slave morality'...
I thought the opposite of love is ignoring people?
And maybe that is why the narcissists scorpions hate it when this happen and normal people dont think about it.
We have plenty of scoprions in france too :) black and white ones...black are not dangerous , white can be deadly.
