Non political ..less than rant

If i happen to post on a political topic, it will be a rare bending of my personal guidelines.

Whatever you feel politically, there is nothing gained by calling your neighbors names. The top of our political landscape (all of them) rely on us peons being at each others throats.

Notice that they all attend the same dinners, go to the same galas, schmooze with the same type of celebreties, and all end up filthy rich after their time "serving".

I dont expect this note will change minds, i write it so it is clear that i am not attacking anyone if i make a comment. I am way more libertarian than anything else (minus the obsession for weed...in that, do what you want but jesus..dont make it the center of your personality)

This anger has been building for a long time, no it wasnt started by Trump, Obama, Clinton or Regan. It has been building since the Vietnam war and the generational fight between the silent gen and the young boomers.

I do believe everyone at the level of most of us here want certain things, to be treated fair, to be free to work toward your goals, and to be happy.
There will also be those who want chaos as it is fun. The shit stirrers love to see violence as it gives them a chubby, but like most instigators, they wont fight the wars they start.

I could add more but this is too long and will most likely just attract the angry people.

@SW-User 🤔it is a pity and sad in a sense as you rightly say whatever side of the political spectrum you are on you cannot discuss the subject without the name calling . this happens greatly on similar worlds people need to stari being more mature and stop acting like they are still wearing short trousers . granted this an emotive topic and will bring difference of opinions but sometime too save all the hassle it is better too agree too disagree🤷‍♂

@smiler2012 exactly, i know emotions are high but lashing out doesnt make anyone feel better or fixes anything. I know the arguments on both sides of things, the common person is your friend, co worker or neighbor, not a mortal enemy. The nature of internet interaction makes it easier to de-personalize others since we all slip into a "Call of duty lobby" mindset at times.
This anger has been building for a long time… It has been building since the Vietnam war and the generational fight between the silent gen and the young boomers.

Sadly, in some communities it’s much older than that. I see some really difficult times ahead. 😞

@Handfull1 Fox News has been involved in multiple controversies. It has been identified as engaging in biased and false reporting in favor of the Republican Party, its politicians, and conservative causes, while portraying the Democratic Party in a negative light.

@markinkansas oh I definitely know that. On a mass basis, I still hold Trump more responsible for glamorizing nastiness!
