Conflict Culture Vs Woke Vs Safe Space Vs Fake News

 Around 2004 (during the build-up of the November election), I came to note around twenty-odd things which really didn't make a lot of sense.  

Magazines suddenly took on political topics to the degree that you just wanted to 'mute' them (I actually cancelled three magazine subscriptions by the end of that year).

News networks like CNN became comical to watch, and you'd run out of willing nature after 10 minutes.

Speeches by politicians just seemed to lack any coherent view of reality.

Since that period, I've stood back and viewed the entire landscape.  There were probably already brewing issues in the mid-to-late 1990s....but you just laughed at the nature and proceeded on.

It is a conflict society now.....one group intensely battling another group.  Everyday....some folks go into woke-status, and question their status in life.  They aren't sure about things anymore.  They don't feel completely safe in a community group anymore.  They aren't sure about the news they see on TV, and if it's accurate.  They have to function around college-educated people who now seem to be lacking any common sense.

Patience is running out.  Civil behavior is pretty random these days.  Censorship is openly discussed now....like it was a button that you could push without much of a thought process.

As for dissolving this?  

Look at the script ahead....Joe Biden likely is forced out because of cognitive problems within three years.  Fake news continues on.  Colleges are mostly about indoctrination and safe spaces...than actual learning experiences.  Covid-19 vaccinations might clear out some grief, but the virus is here to stay.  Taxes will go up, and the cost upon each American from that....will be reflected.  Hostilities will remain.  And there's little to feel hyped-up about or positive.

Observations

 1.  Not that it really matters....but I noticed that North Korea's Kim has publicly spoken and said he intends to bring the US (under Biden) 'to it's knees'.  

Whether President Biden reacts or not....is the big unknown.  I'm sure that CNN can stretch this into a full-hour of coverage (sarcastically spoken).

2.  As they hauled various Congressmen and Senators out of the Capital building on the 6th.....they were in fairly tight quarters.  So it came up late yesterday....at least a couple of them now have Covid-19.  If you figure the 14-day cycle, none of them are going back to the office until late January.  The inauguration?  Skipped.  

3.  The British health care system is fairly overwhelmed now with Covid-19 patients.  So they are about to make up a new rule.....when they reach 100-percent capacity....they will only take in patients who seem to have 'potential value to society'.

I sat and looked over the phrase.  You could bring in 100 'graders' and then some folks to grade over their potential value to society.  There would be a lot of differing views.  Is this a doctor assigning your value to society, or a transmission mechanic?  Does age play into this, or your drinking habits?

4.  What is said in DC.....around 15k National Guardsmen will be brought in for the inauguration.  There's apparently a Congressman or two, who are now asking the head of the National Guard to assess if any of his folks are 'problems' (domestic terrorists was the term used).

The issue I see here....you could have more than 70-percent of the Guard who now fit into this new identifier 'domestic terrorist'.....so are you going to kick them out?  Will you order them to disarm....so you can feel safe around the 30-percent who are armed?

Just from this group of 15k being brought into the inauguration....you might assess each single guy and find out that more than 12k are 'bad-boys'.....then what? 

The police and firemen from the region?  Assessing them as domestic terrorists as well?  This is turning into some kind of science fiction 'play'.  

5.    I'm now a ex-Facebook and ex-Twitter user.  Deactivated, deleted.  It was one of those odd feelings....like you won $40 at some poker game....walking out ahead.  

You have to wonder....if half the US population is either purged out of Facebook/Twitter, or just deletes their account....can either company financially survive long-term?  I don't think so.....so I'll just predict....they both get bought up by someone in the next year or so....for half-the-value they currently hold.  Downsizing of staffs will come next.
