This Presidents’ Day is Brought To You By Ignorance

[Perd Hapley]

And oikophobia. And not a little credulity.

I have just been treated to some idiocy, and I need to vent. A customer came in today, and Conspiracy Coworker asked him something about working on Presidents’ Day. Our customer then starts spewing some garbled nonsense I can only assume he got from some learned worthy with a YouTube channel. The lowlights are these:

Our constitution contains so many checks and balances, including presidential term limits, because everyone thought George Washington was a Big Meanie.

Abraham Lincoln, a strong supporter of slavery, drove the South to secede over his plan to impose a tax on slaves. He was also a Big Meanie.

I hope I don’t need to point out that, aside from anyone’s opinion on these two presidents, or the accompanying historical facts, the two theses above are just nonsense based on nothing. Conspiracy Coworker immediately agrees with these feces theses. He fears nothing more than a) appearing insufficiently cynical and skeptical, and b) someone thinking he cares about anything.

Upon the departure of Credulous Customer, I remarked on how inane his (the customer’s) comments had been. Conspiracy-bro’s reaction, not surprisingly in hindsight, was to claim that it’s all a matter of which history books one reads, and that he is conversant with the slavery-tax and everyone-hated-George schools of American history. This caused me, unfortunately, spasms of uncontrollable laughter. Unfortunate because this further triggered Conspiracy-bro, the guy I have to work with all day. He decided to interpret my laughter as anger, somehow. As if I was simply unable to cope with anything less than worshipful admiration of Our Great Presidents, so I was laughing out my anger. Or something. As if I’m unwilling to admit there are different points of view.

Now I’m the bad guy for not immediately affirming this cracked version of history. Some people just don’t seem to get that you can have a view of history in between America the Flawlessly Beautiful and Everything Is a Lie. I guess they haven’t tried actually reading any history books, and just settle for Vox Explainers about how the 3/5 compromise meant that black people were only allowed to vote once they had 2/5 of their bodies cut off. Or something.

I give up.

Maybe you should have asked him how the Jews were involved.  You could then be entertained all day.

He does plenty of fretting about the Jews. He's one of those people that doesn't think they're really Jews.

He also says Sanders will be denied the nomination because he's pro-Palestinian.

And you can't leave out the Masons

And Templars, Evangelicals, John Bolton, etc.

I had a (now ex) coworker who believed the whole Moorish American conspiracy among all kind of other crazy things like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton were really black- because white people don't have those surnames and these people purposely created an illusion of being white by having white stand-ins for their portraits.

He doesn't believe the people that claim to be Jews are Jewish or he doesn't believe Jews exist at all?  Either way I guess he's reality challenged.

Africans were so advanced that they had no use for the wheel, the whites stole all of the technology and enslaved the peaceful ebonites.

It's all Yakoob's fault

If he wasn’t such a ballsack head, the Ebonites would be colonizing the stars instead of shitting in their drinking water right now.

I haven't asked him to explain it. I believe there's a theory that European Jews are either pretending, or they aren't really descended from Abraham (just converts, I guess). Anyway, there's some nefarious purpose. They are or are not Joooos, so - yeah.

[MechAg94]

I thought I remember some group in Eastern Europe or Asia that ended up converting and the people claimed current Jews all descend from them. 

[lee n. field]

Lets see.  IIRC, the Rothchilds are actually Idumean, not Jewish.  Or, it was the Kazars.

[Perd Hapley]

I don't buy into the silly conspiracy theories about teh Jooos. I just hate doctors and dentists, and I figure that covers it.

[griz]

You should throw politicians in that group to cover all the bases, but that may go without saying, even though I said it.
