#28  Martinus of Tours was a bloke
Who donated half of his cloak,
So they made him a saint.
His colonial taint
Would prevent that today. So not woke.
"And he only gave half?" "What a joke."

And breaks all available glass,
Sets fire to the stands,

#23  Your nativist naming provokes us!
It's time for systemic refocus
Where urban meets ermine.
Invertebrate vermin,
I give you the Washington Wokusts.

#18   how can you steal land from someone who doesn't believe land can be owned?

#15  I wonder if Snyder has done a cost benefit analysis on how much revenue he salvages in his retention of some woke corporate sponsors and the massive decline in viewership by those like me who were lifelong fans turned off by the kneeling and now, disgusted by cowardly kowtowing to the cultural revolution destroying our nation.

#3  /\ I have come to believe that over the space of time, ownership of land is actually a myth, or at best only temporary.
