So let me get this straight, some black people shame other black people who are successful because they’re following the rules and conventions of a society designed and established by white people. They call them “house negroes,” “uncle tom’s,” or “whitewashed.” This is so short-sighted, self-defeating, and stupid, I’m not sure why more people haven’t spoken out against it. The systemic racism that people claim exists in this country is squarely the stigma leftists have created against black people being successful within the capitalist confines of the United States. What they’re not understanding is that it’s that capitalist system…
Enough with the cleaning already
It’s very difficult for people to build up immunity to the world around us when you have all these people sanitizing the hell out of everything all the time. Though I’m not sure we actively acknowledged it at the time, there was some good in our children’s desire to touch and lick and eat everything around them. The exposure to bacteria, germs, and viruses helped them build a strong immune system. It’s an ability that serves us throughout our lifetime. As we go on, we get exposed to more new germs and mutations of old ones, and hopefully in…
Term limits
Back in the 1990’s, the idea of putting term limits, or limiting the number of terms a Senator or House Representative can serve started to gain a little traction and pick up steam. Of course, with the people who need to be term-limited in charge of voting on such a change, it didn’t happen and was never going to happen. Fast forward to now, and I think we have confirmation as to why. It’s never been clearer in my lifetime that our politicians have sold us out. They don’t represent the best interests of the American people. They serve…
Mr. von Higgenbotham
There are rarely extinction level events in a lifetime. Changes happen one little event at a time. As I sit and watch the lack of respect so many kids have for our institutions, the parents and community who raised them, and the older people who’ve paid their dues and sacrificed, I think about how we got here. It’s not a simple reason. It wasn’t one event. It was a series of small things. It was giving trophies for showing up. It was telling them how unique and special they are without having done the work to earn it. It…
One option, not three
Somewhere along the line, some client or marketing director somewhere decided that instead of asking their agency or internal creative department for one creative idea, they wanted three. Since that time, internal and external clients across the land have been asking their creative department or agency for three creative ideas. Likewise, agencies and creative people simply expect to provide three ideas whenever they’ve got to present new creative. Not my creative teams. Ever since I started my creative career, no matter where I’ve worked, I’ve always insisted they’ll get one idea. Sure, I’ve been asked for three ideas. They…
Conservatives are more informed
They have to be. Americans are inundated with liberal-biased news and information. Every single television news source that isn’t Newsmax or OAN all parrot each other’s talking points. They didn’t just get the memo. They wrote it. Likewise, every newspaper publication and website are delivering the same message as the television news networks. But liberal news talking points go well beyond television and cable news. It’s everywhere. To hear the latest talking points on climate change, transgenderism, how horrible Donald Trump is, Republican white supremacists, and how dangerous COVID is, you basically just have to log in to social…
The gaslighting continues…
Yesterday, the nation posted this tweet suggesting that our nation has descended into an aggregation of bullies, conspiracy theorists, and meanies. And the gaslighting of 2020 continues. Ever since President Trump descended the golden escalator, Democrats and the American media (one in the same) have hammered on Trump and his supporters nearly every minute of every day. That’s four straight years of exhibits a, b, and c, on to infinity, proving, in their minds, that Donald Trump is the worst man alive. Using acts of bullying (belittling, name-calling, and harassing Trump supporters and administration members), spreading conspiracy theories (Russian…
The importance of white supremacy
White supremacy is a critical component of our march toward communism. Without white supremacy, the left would not have been able to dehumanize conservatives as effectively as they have. It was critical to dehumanize conservatives because it was the only way to sell abolishing the First Amendment. Sure, on it’s face the idea that we should have freedom of speech sounds alright. But when you define half the country as so evil, immoral, and irredeemable as conservatives, we can’t afford to let them speak their vile ideas out loud, lest others start agreeing with them. Conservatives are so racist,…
Who is the swamp?
Like all conservatives, President Trump’s biggest problem was the inability, or lack of awareness, to explain what conservatism is and what he means when he says things like “the swamp” or “deep state.” That’s why The Bubbler exists. After watching for more than 30 years conservatives miss opportunity after opportunity to teach conservatism and explain the philosophy to people, I finally took to the internet. As usual, President Trump got halfway there. In talking about “the swamp,” he was correctly identifying the real enemy and was scratching the surface on starting to defeat them. But he didn’t go far…
How to tell one’s ideology
If you’re looking for a way to tell if you’re speaking with a conservative or a leftist, here’s an easy exercise. Disagree with them. It doesn’t have to be about anything political. In fact, it’s a better exercise if you don’t. Disagree with them on what they want to do today, or tell them you don’t like a food they really like… or a movie. It could be anything. Just take a stand and disagree with them on something they say. If the person’s a conservative, they’ll want to hear what you have to say. They’ll be interested in…
