If i ever weigh in on any of the current events, keep these things in mind
I cannot be spending extra time researching things that at first glance gives me such a hopeless outlook on the future.
I don't blindly follow the left or right media sources, but the side which gives a more accurate picture of reality is definitely not the right imo.
What is being done according to me, who is a person who cannot be looking up "facts" to appease closed minded divisive types is that a tragic shooting is being used to mobilize a group of people to be in full agreement to commit outrageous actions which aren't what democracy is about.
Even though everything seems to be falling apart, and i see cheap games being played that only cause more division, what one must nurture for themselves is to remain true to themselves, whenever i sound off on current events, i'm not fully equipped to enter any dialogue with others, even with those i agree with, because i've never learnt how to communicate with others in detail, a sustained dialogue that is civil, and no name calling, with respect, does such a thing even exist nowadays? If so it could be in real life when people can talk to themselves while seeing them, and being thus more aware of their common humanity.
I'm sorry for lumping a whole group into closed minded types, i am probably over simplifying it, but the meaning of this post is an explanation of my own shortcomings on entering any dialogue about current event, if i say anything, don't expect me to convince you of anything, i rather wish what is plain for the sane to be seen, take a moment, think before speaking, ruminate, be willing genuinely to think differently. If that is possible, one's mind isn't closed.
We can be open and closed quite at will or happenstance, some are locked into it though, and surrounded by "influencers" ensures it stays shut.
