Noticed. I’m leaning away from the cesspits and starting to focus more on perspectives and personal stuff.
We aren’t gonna vote the Cesspit/The Fraud away. Unless you include Brass as Ballots that is.
My view is simple. Fix me, fix my area, and defend both with a passion and zeal such as the Berserkers of myth had.
Warning to the dense, (the wise need none) Fuck with me and mine and the MamaKat comes out.
And the biggest weapon I have against them? Disregard. They revel in attention. They demand things not earned. And they lose all power when consent is withdrawn.
We live in a world of tribes, argue me all you want, but yout arguments will fall on deaf ears. I see it constantly. Its been proven that people harbor in their circle 100-150 people max, and the rest fall under “the others”. That is tribe. You can see it in schools as cliques. You see it as political affiliation, among other things. People want to be part of something bigger then themselves and will bond to similar viewpoints and ideas. Skin tone may or may not be a guiding factor, though it often is, but like everything else in this world, there are always exceptions.
You may even have names attached to the others (Peelousey, Trump, et al) but they are not “your group” even if they claim to be so. Hint: we aren’t all in this together. You may align with them, but believe me, you aren’t group.
In my opinion, We are entering a section of history like we have never seen before. We are four generations into a massive dumbing down that covers the entire globe. People have lost the abilities that we had during the early parts of the last century. The biggest loss is critical thinking. Its still out here, but across the board, not so much, and so few in the positions to teach it, have it, and the ones that do are forbidden to teach it because ‘feelz’.
You want to be special? Pursue it, learn something, attempt to make something to benefit others, go all out and BE special. Making people feel better about themselves is a positive feedback loop and positive FBLs are destructive to the system they inhabit. Negative feedback is a protection, keeping the system functioning.
Of course, you have to be receptive to criticism for a -FBL to be effective. Hard to be receptive when you require safespaces, demand that others censor themselves of “hatespeech” ( definitions of which change constantly without warning ) and refuse to accept that “maybe I’m the problem” . Self-assessment is in obvious decline.
But there is still hope, though I despise the word. Real Americans, the ones that are out here in Flyover Country, the ones that have generations of Military service as a legacy, the ones sitting silent, more in shock than wonder, at what has happened with lightning speed (seemingly if you ignore all the soundings of history). They are the ones that give me hope, but that hope has ominous undertones to it. When that group flips, the switch is thrown on a machine that is Hungry, Unmerciful, and quite Deaf. It also has only one shut off switch: when the problem is defeated, utterly and without question. When that machine comes on, the end game is a horror show.
And with that thought, I can only say, poke a hornets nest often enough, don’t whine when the hornets swarm you. Thats what is happening now. They are poking that nest, daring the hornets to swarm, confident in their plans to annihilate the hornets when they do. They are planning on destroying infrastructure to force people into the cities, oblivious to the fact that the cities don’t operate in vacuum, but on the energy output from those areas they want to do away with.
More symptoms of that dumbing down.
And people are leaving those cities in droves.
I dunno, I’m just spilling the words here, with no premise or order to guide me. I feel optimistic that whatever our fiture holds, it won’t last very long, but will make things in WWII pale in comparison. And I don’t expect to live through it to be honest,,, My only hope is that the things I have been able to pass along to my daughter will be enough and that she carries it forward with her kids.
There are things YOU can do to. If you don’t want to acquire new skills, try to gather books on them to pass on when the time comes. The older the better IMO, stuff written before all the Politically correct horseshit started. Or books written for homeschoolers as they tend to be Conservative, but politically neutral. (Some will say that conservative is a political stance, I say its a life stance with politics being its obvious face to many, but not its body.) If you have a skill, start marketing it locally; it will build a small income for you as well as help build networks, networks that are desperately needed in our decentralized world. (Example, I’m a skilled welder with Black thumbs. I couldn’t grow a weed if my life depended on it, but I can keep gardening and farming tools running, strong, and sharp. Maybe cash is king, but Barter still works.)
The biggest thing you can do is stop thinking inside the Box they built. Stop making excuses and start asking yourself one simple question; “How can I,,,?” You start doing that, for everything, and suddenly your subconscious becomes engaged and starts doing amazing things.
Life starts getting easier.
I’ll have more later, bizzy week to get through, before I have a short Vaca with friends at the lake.
