The only people who told me Covid would kill me is those in power. Everyone else seemed to think it was just another virus…
We also found it strange that we were told it’s a major issue for at risk people (duh, everything is), but then sent certain groups, like the elderly, that were confirmed sick back into their communities of at risk folk…
It was a cluster of nonsense. Yea, we want to be safe. We don’t want to get sick even if it is minor, but the cluster of clusters was clusterific.
Or if you read that story about how people rioted, burned down buildings, looted, attacked jews, etc… etc… etc… in portland… You never know how randomly violent /those/ people will be.
Seriously, people are fucked on both sides, and the more I watch things, the more I believe that it’s the people left and right of center that are the psychos.
The far right and left seem tame by comparison.
It’s like the honorable Zap Branagan said. You can’t trust those neutrals.
Exact same thing the left is doing. Non stop telling us how y is good and x is bad. If your family supports x, clearly they are crazy jew natzis who much be eliminated from your life! Get out now!!!
Also, Trump was saying that? I don’t remember that being brought up before.
Policies of Trump… I don’t know. About year two into his presidency, wages went up quite a bit in areas I lived in. Jobs became more available. General craziness was down, except for all those spouting hate at Trump the entire time.
I’m not saying I particularly paid much attention or attribute community growth due to his presidency, but things were getting better while he was president and dramatically tanked a year or two after Biden took over.
Just the general feel of places I’ve lived over the past 8 years or so.
For reference, I lived in low density suburban/rural areas during this time. May be way different in proper cities.
Doesn’t that go both ways though?
On one end you are programmed to accept gays,
On the other you are programmed to reject.
And before all that, you are programmed to understand the concept of gay.
It’s all programming. Now that social programming happens so quickly and such large scale… Humans weren’t meant to handle that much programming.
Now, some people, at some point, start to question all programming. Those are the most resilient to direct programming from others, and the most able to program themselves based on judgement of all the programming going on.
But for the rest it’s just a frustrating mess of self inconsistencies.
Making something obviously shameful is to do so with reason. Telling people they are stupid and being manipulated is not people reacting by digging in, they are just responding to personal attacks. That falls to self-defense. Rational discussions about your own beliefs give others a chance to accept them. Trying to force them is just… Well… Facisim.
