I deleted Facebook social media application and the messenger from my phone. Someone suggested that all social media companies should be turned off for a year so people can detox and learn how to be normal again. So much of social media is an echo chamber where thoughts and opinions are amplified and reinforced. Or, in my case, where it keeps showing me things I disagree with.
At any rate, society seemed more civilized before the advent of social media. Social media manipulates us and our perceptions. No one sees the exact same thing. They show us content based on some algorithm. Meaning none of us have the same experience. Yet we may have a similar experience. Or something like that. I don't know.
What I do know is social media mainstreams the fringe. The extremes. Things that are better left unknown. Take my favorite hate topic - tattoo. Tattoo was not nearly as accepted as it was after a show called Miami Ink was put on some cable channel. It documented a tattoo shop and the people who deface the human body. It mainstreams how "personal" a tattoo is. Or whatever. Gradually after tattoo became more accepted, body modification through piercing other things besides ears became in vogue. Then came inserting hoops and gauges into pierced body parts. And hair dye in extreme colors. And for some the human body has become nothing more than a surface on which to graffitti and deface... Or to tell your story. Or whatever other kind of delusion those who participate in these rituals believe.
Mentally ill people have been given a soap box in the town square. Their beliefs, their delusions, their distorted perceptions of our world. And they band together and their world view pollutes the views and perceptions of normal people. Whatever a normal person is.
My wife and I were discussing Charlie Kirk today. She found an article about all the "terrible things" he said about alphabet people, MLK, the browning of America through immigration and whatever other controversial thing he said. She also referenced his religious testimonials and musings.
My wife thinks I'm burdened by CK's shooting because I think the same way he does on quite a few issues - especially when it comes to the alphabet people and immigration. I don't understand how we as a culture are to affirm a person who is born a man and thinks they're a woman. The alphabet people claim they "know" their truth. I have written about a person I used to know named Bruce. Now he's decided he's Karen and had body modification (mutilation) surgery to become a woman. He goes to the doctor to have breast cancer screenings. And talks about the oppression of women. None of this makes sense to me.
From my perspective, CK is the only one who spoke truth about these people calling them mentally ill and delusional. And upon until recently the medical community would concur with alphabet people being mentally ill. Now members of the medical community affirm whatever these people claim. And there is an entire school of thought we are just scratching the surface to a more evolved understanding of human nature. Like men can become pregnant and have babies. If you think otherwise you're a bigot. You're transphobic. Or whatever. I'd rather be a transphobic bigot than participate in someone else's mental delusion of themselves. Like how are we arguing about biological fact? Sex is "assigned" at birth. I thought sex was recorded at birth. The notion of decoupling sex and gender is a fallacy. I don't want to beat a dead horse.
If you ask me, large swaths of the population are lemmings that believe whatever they are told. Believe whatever is fashionable. Believe whatever nonsense comes out of the university environment. Say what? Institutions of higher education are no longer interested in the debate of ideas as evident by what happened yesterday. While they may have started with the virtuous goal of teaching people to think at a higher level, it seems over the last 25 years they have become institutions of indoctrination. These so called professors are whack.... they are abusing their positions and betraying the institution for which they are employed. This week, some teacher was advocating for trans issues being discussed in a children's literature class at Texas A&M university. A student recorded it, raised a ruckus and it resulted in instructor being terminated for violating a law about indoctrination and promoting the lies of gender studies. Kudos to Texas A&M. Kudos to our governor for demanding removal of this faculty member.
I feel like I'm rambling.
CK spoke truth to the crazies. Rejected popular narratives about alphabet people, race and immigration. Exposed those who want to destroy our country who are working to erode the foundations on which it was built. I am a firm believer that if you don't like America you should leave. But, the founding fathers (whatever that means) were enlightened enough to provide a government that could change with the times through the passing of laws. Lunacy has overrun our society and somehow managed to place themselves in positions to legislate change. There s city in Michigan where the police department has islamic writings on their uniform patches. Why would anyone feel it is necessary to incorporate islamic writings on an American law enforcement emblem?
It has been said the islamists or the muslims want to destroy the west. And we have people like Zooron Mamdani who want to implement socialistic policies. Or that lady from Minnesota - her name escapes me - the one wearing the hijab or turbin all the time. Or the one eyed monster Tlaib. Any member of the squad. What about that hood rat Jasmine Crockett. She's well educated and speaks like shes a ghetto girl and justifies crime and violence.
We have people who positions of upholding law who are literally undermining it by releasing people back into society without making restitution for the crimes they commit. Someone was murdered on a public transit car. Stabbed in the throat by a black man behind her. The other black people did nothing and watched in silence. Supposedly the perpetrator has been released 27 times for committing crimes and then does this. Donald Trump says he wants to seek the death penality. And people oppose Donald Trump. GTFO.
There are people that want to see this country destroyed and they're working to do so from the inside out. And they're getting away with it. Surprising and disappointing more people aren't in opposition to the destruction of america. Or is it an evolution to match the rest of the world.
In my opinion we lost a patriot yesterday. He is one of the few that regularly spoke out against the subjects above. But he's the problem. Trump is the problem. I'm the problem. I'd rather live in their version of America than where we are headed.
