Repug Meme: "Mother Nature"

[blitzen]

They're covering up the fact that human actions have consequences (this is what Lukacs called "reification": making our practices seem like "things" over which we have no control)

1. Funny how they pull that out

without mentioning "Mother Nature" and "Global Warming."

2. Apparently the talking points have gone out

A comment left on my blog from an idiot

Are you so really very stupid to think that GW controls the weather? Your posts indicate so.

Are you also pissed that a shoot to kill order has been issued for looters. I know that you think the people are stealing for food water and emergency supplies. That would explain why they are shooting at choppers trying to bring aid. I wonder how those stolen tv's, shoes, stereos, guns nad other things taste.

Get your head out of your ass. GW did not cause this, perhaps you should hold your god responsabile for not protecting these people.

Are you going to blame him for the rapes and murders as well. Or is that the responsability of the people that commit the crimes.

3. He began AND ended his speech by blaming Mo' Nature

when "she really wants to" (his words) she's a real bitch

4. The demonization of Mother Nature is a cornerstone of...

all theologies of Yehveh: Christianity, Islam, Judaism. "Mother Nature" is a modern, quasi-secular name for the Great Goddess, the Mother of All Being, She Who Is -- the many-named female divinity whose spirit is said to be life itself and whose body is said to be the entire cosmos -- humanity's first god and the reigning deity for most of human history. Yehveh is her sworn enemy: I will make a wasteland of her, turn her into a desert, leave her to die of thirst...I will put an end to all her rejoicing, her feasts, her New Moons, her sabbaths and all her solemn festivals (Hosea 2:5;13). Thus the biblical sanction of subjugation (and ultimately rape), whether of earth or woman. In this context, the fascist/Christofascist blaming of "Mother Nature" for the debacle of New Orleans is merely the most recent expression in a 5000-year campaign of nature-hatred and misogynistic malice that has no counterpart on earth. Therefore utterly predictable -- and likely to become ever more venomous.
