(Vanity) what do we do?

Me | 6/6/20 | Me

[the OlLine Rebel]

I am so agitated and disheartened.

Lots has happened the last few days and I’ve been sort of blowing my top at local idiots on FB.

Agains I’m the only one who will stand up and say these things.

The latest is our school system is stating they will have arrested students who say “hateful” things on social media, and press charges!

Of course these jackasses are shocked at me and probably will have ME arrested.

[the OlLine Rebel]

How do we fight all these communist jackasses who are overrunning everything?

I’m sick of all this stuff but they are proving, again, that WE are already not allowed to use our speech!

[eyedigress]

You are on FaceButt.

It’s why I agreed when someone suggested a huge Trump rally earlier. I hope Trump announces a bunch of rallies coming up-That way we can show up and show support for our president. Otherwise, keep doing what you’re doing. It’s frustrating, but every voice out there counts.

[Texas Eagle]

I’ll probably catch a lot of flak for saying this but I don’t even bother engaging them. They are beginning to eat their own. Let them.

[RandallFlagg]

I prefer the name, “HATEbook.”

Don’t fret, the OlLine Rebel.
The punks are currently the heroes of the enemedia, making them seem like they are in the majority.
We outnumber them.

Plus, the morons don’t realize that it’s the police (who they hate so much and want to get rid of) who are the only ones keeping US from destroying THEM.

Probably a good idea. As it is, you'll be hung out to dry by yourself if you try to engage these people and it backfires. Many on the right talk a good game, but having someone else's back is not part of that.

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w

“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

“What do we do”

First, stop thinking in terms of we. Ask yourself, “what do I do?”

[dragnet2]

For starters, stop supporting companies who PUBLICLY support the rioters. Don’t buy Communist Chinese products, etc etc.

Already posted, worth a repost.

When they eat there own is not the time to sit back. It is the time to exhibit ferocity beyond civilized bounds.

A child of mine had a temper tantrum once. I had it on good authority that the way to handle it was to allow the tantrum. Stand by in case of injury but allow it.

So I did. It burned itself out. That was the last tantrum from that kid- about twenty years ago

That’s what this is in some ways, I suppose.

The corrupticrats will try everything to keep Trump/us from winning the White House. This will burn itself out. Then something else.

I’m just going along with my routine like the mom of a tantrum throwing kid.

The worst thing to do is interfere, giving it legitimacy. We are not a racist nation

The Minnesota authorities allowed this. They allowed the bad cop. They allowed the country to assume he was motivated by racism. We have not seen the Minnesota authorities. They’re like neglectful, corruption-connected, inexplicably wealthy parents who take no responsibilty for their kids

How do they get off the hook?

[Olog-hai]

That looks like Fulton Sheen’s blackboard.

[right way right]

Get off of Virtue Signal Book.

[Trillian]

Social media and the tv media are a cancer. If I had to deal with looking at those two things constantly, I would lose my mind.

It’s from the second of 2 educational films

I committed Facebookicide days after signing up about 15 years ago. It was not easy to delete myself.

[Bommer]

First GET THE HELL OFF FACEBOOK! It serves zero purpose in your life. 2nd stop watching the news. 3rd run for the school board if your so pissed.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Exactly!!!!

[Responsibility2nd]

I agree. All the arguments, all the logic, all the sense in all the world will not reach these people. Sometimes it’s best to log off and go read a good book. Go watch reruns of Gilligans island. Just disengage from the lunacy of the world for a little while.
