Civility is overrated.
It’s not a decline in reason for me to be uncivil to foreigners that I have nothing in common with, that weren’t invited into my nation or the traitors that enable them.
Civility became weaponized by the militant left.
Years ago you were taught there were three things you do not discuss in a polite society. Politica, Religion, and Sex. Now that is ALL we talk about.
The lack of a truly educated, informed citizenry results in ignorance, crass emotionalism and absurd political behavior. It is truly frightening how little history most Americans know and how easily the muddled middle, who determine elections and ultimately the fate of a culture are manipulated by nonsense.
If you live in most parts of Maryland, youre safe putting a RAT candidates sticker on your car or the candidates sign in your yard. Try the same thing with a Republican candidates campaign material and you run a STRONG risk of vandalism. In many neighborhoods, its a certainty.
The progressives are intolerant and fascistic.
Eff civility.
Signed, the Left
I think a corollary of this is a lack of humility.
Everyone seems to see themselves as the center of the universe. I know everything. I am always right. I need to win every argument. How dare you disagree with me?
It’s very unhealthy. And certainly not reasonable.
Would it be uncivil for me to tell anyone who tries to talk to me about any of these three things to simply STFU?
Post of the day.
Bolshevism.
It went out the door with chivalry. Feminism killed them both.
They have opened the door with ar15 attacks on the republican senator and Steve Scalese. Then the attack on only female administration workers. I think these communists may not like the counter attack. In fact, I am really sure they wont.
The age of reason is coming to a close. It makes a crashing sound mixed with the laughter of demons and democrats.
“One person will say its social media. But thats blaming the medium. It would be kind of like blaming the telephone for a fight during a phone conversation. Its not the telephone its the people! Social media is no different.”
Because now we can know what 100 random people in china think about something, not to mention friends, family and mere acquaintances. Person to person calls didn’t have this volume or density. We didn’t develop with these capabilities. I think maybe the technology that allows social media and the portable instant internet poses a spiritual problem, or opens the door to it or something.
The eligible voter turnout hasn’t exploded since the rise of social media. Maybe the reason the libs seem to be so unhinged is because they are much more susceptible to whatever social media tends to do to a person, and those that pay attention to politics tend to notice it more in political libs. But the non-political internet shaming and social media bullying is a major part of this downgrade in society too.
Freegards
Social media. Thats what happened.
Generations of little gods were spawned by rejectors of the one true God.
EFF CIVILITY. I just want to start spitting.
