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, you’re safe putting a ‘RAT candidate’s sticker on your car or the candidate’s sign in your yard. Try the same thing with a Republican candidate’s campaign material and you run a STRONG risk of vandalism. In many neighborhoods, it’s 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.
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 won’t.
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 it’s social media. But that’s blaming the medium. It would be kind of like blaming the telephone for a fight during a phone conversation. It’s not the telephone – it’s 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. That’s what happened.
Generations of little gods were spawned by rejectors of the one true God.
EFF CIVILITY. I just want to start spitting.
Some of us still love America.
Some of us don’t.
Add in 30 million fraudulently documented foreigners invited in against the will of the citizens and this is what you get.
After 30 years of corruption and control in every direction, I’d guess the country is not in a garden party mood yet. Etiquette and decorum will be taking the back seat for a few years. The cleanup has barely started.
Hmmm. “Civility breaking down” only seems to be a problem now that the Right is fighting back - see the lates Antifa KOs on LiveLeak for fun!
Well, I just got suspended from a non-political site for pointing out that transwomen are not actually women. Such language was deemed “abusive” - so the Left is now stating that mentioning inconvenient facts in public is uncivil.
