When I left the 'farm' in 1977....I went off on a adventure (that's really the only way to view life today). Over the past 20 years, I've come to recognize four evolutions/changes going on, and their effect on society.
First, through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s....no one really openly discussed their politics, their religion, their economic 'woes' or their 'affairs'.
Somewhere along 2004....I started to notice that trend dissolving. People seemed convinced that if they confessed their politics, religion, financial screw-ups, or sexual hijinks...you'd want to step into their 'circle' (join their club), and there seems to be no positive or plus-up to this.
Second, most all news outlets/social media platforms....seems to have gathered up a agenda around 2010, and serve more to being a propaganda-unit than anything else.
Third, Covid delivered a massive blow to 'trust'. If you sound like a BS-artist....I'll mute you in a heartbeat.
Fourth and final....you end with a gut-feeling of living around a cult-group. Yeah, there's this feeling of being around Manson family members, Children of God folks, or Maharishi Mahesh Yogi people. You'd like to ask them questions....like how they got this brain-washed, but it's better that you sip through your coffee quickly and get back on the road.
If you tried to piece all of this together.....it reminds me of the summer of 1860...leading up to April of 1861....where the Civil War starts.
