I'm Scared

Can't speak my mind yet. But hopefully soon. We are a crazy infighting, gaslighting, finger pointing society right now.

I am scared of the system for the first time in my life.

0.00000001% of people can handle and digest power when they receive it. For most, it gets to their heads, and they will unconscionably massacre the "others" socially, politically, financially, systemically and even physically, with zero remorse.

The left is trigger happy and have absolute power in the media and social media realm. And they are showing it shooting at even the sitting President for stretch-of-your-imagination reasons.

Kamala Harris said burning of cities and months of violence was good and it will keep going. One federal court in Portland was under siege for weeks, while the one in the capitol was for a few hours.  

Well, you might say, the reasons were different, one was the ruthless, cold blooded killing of a black man on the street, the other was an alleged election fraud. But my argument that both were seemingly a reaction to a "national-level-systemic" issue. All deaths are sad. Injustice towards any human being is bad.  

That said, Tech and media is out of control. It takes great tolerance and perseverance to digest power (and hard liquor). And these "media stars" and "tech leads" are lightweights. You can't paint "society to your ideals" with 1's and 0's. MSM is pure artificially-society-altering propaganda, externally/ systemically funded much like in the Nozi times. I know for a fact that they are not making money with the media itself. No one is watching it.

If there was a way to stop USA, this would be it. Find the weakest link and create separatist narratives along those lines. Free speech and tolerance of ideas, a constitutionally protected concept, will be used as fuel to burn down unity between the disenfranchised and those trying to help them with upward mobility. Cut down all dialog, then only remaining solution, is pure erasure of the franchised. Silly when you read it. Is this a constructive or destructive solution?

Teenagers are idealistic but impressionable. They want a better world but are shortsighted and tribal. With a growing body constantly demanding resources, it is hard to be other-aware. I was once, a long time ago. Adults provide the guard rails that allow them to flourish while not get hurt or destroy stuff around them. both these energies are crucial. And nature balances this by giving adults more power and teens more energy. Univs gave teens power, media jobs gave teens power. Ugh! :)

Government provides references to society in order for it to thrive. References like laws and guidelines. When you start taking out references, like man, woman, debt, assets, etc. There is no gauge of anything. Its like plotting a graph without the (0,0). I would advise folks to simulate their idealized society on a smaller scale and see if any thing works before you start criminalizing society's references like man, woman, etc.

I always knew USA as a socially liberal or "forward" country compared to the east. But I am told it is not. I hear the term "American Experiment" far more than I used to. It is unsettling. Don't let unexperienced idealist teenage-minded, life-unresisted kids to rewrite America. Instead Compete. 

Media tribals and America Sucks band members, tour the world. Live and work at the lowest possible job in a developing country for two months. Ask your peers there what is their hope and chance for upward mobility. Attempt it. Ask people to treat you like you were from there. Not special because of your passport. It will make you rethink what America has made possible. If that is too intense for you, live for a year in another developed country. Same rules, start at the very bottom, with nothing.  

For the rest of us, this is a great time. We have all the reasons to be America again. People are fed up. Echo chambers are resonating to deafening levels. It will take 5-7 years, but create a parallel media industry, provide jobs, insurance, financial security to those involved. Work hard play hard. PLAY HARD! Be happy. 

I ask myself is that the solution though? CNN commenting on FOX newscaster's clips. FOX commenting on CNN newscaster's clips. Wouldn't a parallel media landscape just re-impress the echo chamber? Increase the divide? To some, yes. But at least it will provide a franchise for the "other" voice. Taking away voice and the ability to argue without violence is a billion times more sinister.

Land of the free and home of the brave. End of vomit.
