I didn’t want to write this article.
It was going to be my stop the fucking world I’m getting off and good luck your on your own now article.
Still not sure yet of where it’s going to go, maybe just a break for a bit.
It’s an admission of my absolute failure in the fight against extremists from the right and left in their idiotic culture war.
Like trying to hold back two opposing tidal waves, it was a fool’s errand from the start.
I’ve really tried to provide a base of reason in the “conspiracy world”, calling out bullshit where I see it regardless of
politics.
Trying to hit the brakes while the car screams toward the proverbial cliff. The extremes refuse to acknowledge the cliff and continuing to stomp on the accelerator.
The hate on both sides is just too wide to bridge, the vitriol of names and outright refusal to find a middle ground is staggering.
The lunacy has seeped into every institution, every social strata. It has been willfully spread at the speed of light through news and social media, taken as gospel when it suits our own preconceptions instead of being subjected to logic.
The hypocrisy is the worst part of it all.
Jet setting elites pumping out more carbon in a single trip to a meeting than most ordinary folks ever will ever put out. They pat themselves on the back for “doing something” about carbon yet eat imported expensive foods further increasing their carbon footprints alongside sprawling mansions and fuel guzzling yachts.
Being against abortion but you wouldn’t lift a fucking finger to adopt unwanted children.
Screaming for bodily autonomy yet pushing for authoritarian forced inoculations.
Jumping on the jab bandwagon despite the results showing the inoculations did absolutely nothing to prevent infection but parroting “trust the science” even though the science changed weekly.
Gun control. Plenty of stupidity on all sides. I’m pro responsible gun ownership. I don’t think people with a past of criminal violence or certain types of mental illness should own firearms. Nothing wrong with background checks and a certain level of training, just like driving a car or operating heavy machinery.
Reality is you should worry more about medical malpractice,alcohol and a few other things.
If this was really about saving lives and not just about control they would have banned alcohol and cigarettes a generation ago. A friend of mine mentioned the other day that the reason these things aren’t freaked out about is that we have accepted them. It’s a good point.
Being against racism yet supporting politicians who have clearly demonstrated actual racist acts and policies.
Q-ANON: you guys were duped and lot’s of us tried to fucking warn you. It was similar to a multi-level marketing scheme. Just like the whole CRT (critical race theory) bullshit. As soon as there are multiple “levels” or a hierarchy or “you need to do the work” it’s bullshit cult crap.
Been trying to educate people over the years that the U.N. doesn’t have black helicopters nor a standing army of it’s own. Then the U.N. has been going out of it’s way to be the very agency some fringe conspiracy types say it is.
Nobody needs to microchip you. You already carry fucking traceable cell phones and drive around in a GPS equipped car.
Conversely to all the smug pro state types: the government is tracking you and monitoring you and violating your rights every fucking day!
“Activists” on the right and left scream about equality or freedom yet push for state totalitarianism and stepping on other people’s rights.
“ANTIFA” would appropriate the Iron Front’s 3 arrows symbol which fought AGAINST Communism, Nazism and Monarchism. ANTIFA of 1930s Germany was the armed faction of the Communist Party. Iron Front was the armed faction of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. Pays to know your history.
Before being duped into totalitarianism maybe read a book!
You can’t force or legislate people’s opinions or thinking. De platforming them just pushes them into extremism.
Let’s wrap it up before I start writing a manifesto and hiding in the woods or something.
When you find yourself getting pulled around by various triggers, do yourself a favor and stop and ask why that’s a trigger?
Question the source. Is it trying to announce a thing that has happened or is it trying to manufacture and manipulate an outrage response?
We’re all being manipulated. The sooner you realize it, you can learn to turn that manipulation around!
“Neither Hitler’s henchmen nor Stalin’s slaves”(at left Iron Front poster from 1930s Germany)
I’ll leave off with this short video. Thanks for tuning in!
