Little Morsel #1: Crusade Casual
They call it socialism when it feeds the poor.
They call it patriotism when it fattens the stateâs wallet.
Funny how the same people who clutch their pearls at food stamps will throw roses at a government equity stake in Intel. Suddenly, centralized control is noble. Suddenly, state ownership is âstrategic.â Suddenly, the iron hand is holyâso long as itâs wearing a red tie and quoting Corinthians.
This isnât policy. Itâs cosplay.
Weâre not governing. Weâre reenacting the Crusadesâwith better branding and worse theology.
The religious right used to preach humility. Now they preach vengeance.
They used to talk about grace. Now itâs grievance.
They used to wash feet. Now they want to stomp necks.
And they do it all while screaming about socialism, communism, and authoritarianismâwithout realizing theyâve built a gilded altar to all three.
Letâs break it down.
Universal healthcare? âSocialism.â
School lunch programs? âDependency.â
Affordable housing? âMoral decay.â
But when the government takes a 10% stake in Intel, itâs âgenius.â
When it demands a 15% cut of AI chip sales to China, itâs âprotecting national interests.â
When it uses executive orders to bypass Congress, itâs âstrong leadership.â
So letâs be clear:
They donât hate socialism.
They hate who it helps.
If it uplifts the poor, itâs tyranny.
If it enriches the state or the elite, itâs strategy.
The Authoritarianism They Love
Executive orders used to be a red flag. Now theyâre a red carpet.
The Constitution used to be sacred. Now itâs a prop.
Checks and balances? Optional.
Due process? Inconvenient.
They want one man, one voice, one decree.
As long as itâs their guy.
And if you question it, youâre un-American.
If you resist it, youâre a threat.
If you remember history, youâre a heretic.
The Religion They Weaponize
This is where it gets rich.
The same crowd that quotes Jesus to justify tax cuts is now cheering on policies that mirror the very empires he resisted.
They talk about freedom while building surveillance states.
They talk about morality while gutting social programs.
They talk about family values while cheering on cruelty.
Itâs not Christianity. Itâs Crusade cosplay.
A holy war against nuance.
A spiritual purge of empathy.
They donât want the Sermon on the Mount.
They want the sword of Constantine.
And theyâll swing it in the name of righteousness, even if it cuts the poor, the immigrant, the sick, and the stranger.
The Irony They Canât See
Weâre living in a paradox so thick you could spread it on toast.
The government is now part-owner of a private tech giant.
Itâs dictating trade terms like a Soviet ministry.
Itâs bypassing democratic norms with executive fiat.
And the people who once screamed âtyranny!â at mask mandates are now silent.
Or worseâcheering.
Because itâs not about ideology.
Itâs about identity.
If the policies come wrapped in nationalism, religion, and grievance, theyâre palatable.
Even if theyâre authoritarian.
Even if theyâre socialist.
Even if theyâre hypocritical.
The Morsel
America doesnât hate socialism.
It hates sharing.
It doesnât fear authoritarianism.
It fears losing control.
It doesnât worship Jesus.
It worships power dressed in scripture.
And the irony?
The very people who claim to defend freedom are laying the bricks for its undoingâone executive order, one corporate stake, one holy war at a time.
But hey, at least the flagâs still waving while the fridge stays empty.
Chew slowly. Well, that is your little morsel for the day. Thank you for reading. Next edition will be: Little Morsel #2 â Safety
Follow, share, or scream into the void â just donât look away.
