I’m bewildered as to why we’re tolerating the destruction. And I get the question: “What are we supposed to do?”, and I think the answer begins the widespread, collective mindset that the destruction is simply not acceptable.

The globalists are literally farting the place up so that people who would otherwise care can’t stand it and leave the room, so to speak.

Among my siblings, for instance, there are a couple who have swallowed the media lies hook, line, and sinker. There are a couple who see right through it. And the rest don’t want to know anything because it will depress them too much.

I’ve seen the same thing with others. They make dark comments like they know things are really bad. But they really don’t want to do anything about it either.

That apathy - that demoralization, as if there is nothing we can do except go around like Eeyores all the time - is what is killing us. We’ve lost the attitude that this country is worth fighting for. The next generation is being pulled away from us and from their history by online influencers and/or bots who fill them full of nonsense, and our generation has given up on trying to talk sense to them.

I’m reading 5GW (5th Generation Warfare) and one of the things it says is that we have to get back into real life, dealing with real people face to face, so we can have actual reasonable discussions and not just spit at each other online or give up talking altogether.

Hard to do, when there are no assurances that the pleasantries will ever lead to a relationship where genuine debate and convincing can happen.

We’re being isolated from each other, and without having the common ground of a country we understand, believe in, and care about, we are losing the will to fight. It’s too stinky in our political world.

That’s what trolls are for. It’s why we have trolls here.

On social media , “influencers” are used to get people into their small group-think world, far from anybody who would actually reason and debate with us, and then various people go to the places where information is given and stink up the place with brainless mantras that shut down any real engagement between “sides”. In this way they keep our brains closed and keep us divided so we can’t unite for anything good. Instead people give up, disengage from anything “political”, and let the farters get their way.

I think what we can do - and need to do - is to keep talking with our friends and family, and let them know we believe they are worth fighting for, no matter how bad the stench all around.
