Would be interesting to see the "nobody is safe" video stemming from the "other side" of the argument as well. Could easily be pieced together in the same way.
Definitely. There is very little "middle" left anymore. I have a theory that in many beliefs now, we have lost nuance and the bell curve has been reversed. The outliers, are actually in the middle.
That's always my cue to get the fuck outta there. Not stick around to argue or become a crackhead.
It wouldn't mix well with the alcohol and ecstasy.
What that boils down to is a huge portion of society being stuck in a loop.
It was drilled into people's identity, so now, letting go of it is to lose oneself. It is like a religion - gotta destroy other religions, just in case temptation lures me into the devil's group.
Always best to observe potent news and information rather than consuming then allowing it to become a part of you and your mind.
Last year of high school, we had a semester on "bias in the media" - probably the most valuable weeks of my entire school life.
I don't even want to be middle. The whole system makes me cringe. I'm one, as myself, navigating my own life experience. Of course that's difficult for some to process. Quite confusing for others.
Far too many restrictions getting caught up in those cults. Cornered into narratives. Predictable behavioral patterns. Sitting ducks.
I try to avoid shooting them.
And yes it is odd a high school education is really all it takes to be able to know how to avoid getting sucked into those thought traps. Even more peculiar when one shackled to their media consumption habits presents themselves as an intellectual when they feel the need to become an echo.
Covid residual effects will carry on for quite a few years. The sickness has evolved into something entirely different now.
We are all a minority of one, at the end of the day. As they say, we all die alone.
We are in this weird world at the moment and on some kind of edge where we are going to move to better or go full tard. And you know what they say about going full tard.
People quickly become products of their environment and won't even notice. Perfectly safe, reacting to the world around them from the palm of their hand, and becoming scared as fuck. Instead of watching the news stories, watch them. That's how you'll know if things are getting better or worse.
