Things could get worse.
Things could get better.
Things could stay kinda the same.
This I know.
Its gonna be a time if you dont weaken so, have a fun while you are here...
honestly,I worry a lot about losing all my life long savings to the govt instead of helping my children....to this end, when I'm fully retired, I hope to start distributing at least small amts to them asap....
we're going to have to all move to areas where our kind....God fearing, moral, hard working, patriotic, etc...are the majority...
we are in totalitarian times....TRump has stopped that progression for now...
Per Pew, Solid Liberals (read: Loyalists) make up about 16% of the nation, 42% identify as Republican/Conservative-leaning folks (read: patriots), and the balance are ballast. Thus, we haven't really changed much over the years.
The problem, per se, is that Solid Liberals punch above their weight in being Politically Active more than Core Conservatives. Many people who allegedly cherish liberty are all-too willing to simply blame Millenials as pod-eating dopes, say all is lost, but claim they have enough guns and ammo and freeze-dried food for TEOTWAWKI.
I'd rather get in the game, and change my diet today to avoid having angioplasty later. To the extent more Deplorables make that decision, we're going to be ok; otherwise, President Kamala Harris and VP Spartacus will have something else to say on the matter.
No question, continued distortion and worsening.
We will have a cwii, no doubt. Now just a question of when it really becomes open warfare.
Without getting a handle on voter fraud, we will continue to slide.
Interesting that you called yourself “week 71” way back before end times prophecy was such a craze.
We know what will happen. Things will get worse, and then at a time of the Lord’s choosing, the obedient will disappear. That doesn’t mean it’s too late for the others, but those left on earth who will be saved will probably suffer for their procrastination or stubbornness before also going to their reward.
That’s the Bible, anyway.
There should be a revolution of the mind (not violence in the streets).
The internet is like the world’s biggest (decentralized) library.
Current periodicals are on the rack for “you” the public to read every day.
Full speeches and testimony can be played back when and where you can take the time to hear what was advocated, what lies were told, etc. And if you work in an office, you can probably even wear headphones and do this while working “9-5”.
Books are scanned in online, or available for purchase at all price points from ebay, bookfinder (agregate search engine), or direct from publishers.
Youtube has on-the-scene footage as events break and old footage (educational films, tv broadcast, movies, documentaries, etc.) from 100 years of productions.
Also via youtube the entirity of recorded music is virtually on the table (I understand that no, every song or artist is not on youtube but it is mind boggling just how much is there). You can listen to works from decades ago or artists just now putting things out or from whatever label they are on.
And yet, with all of that information and entertainment available to the masses at low cost or even no cost, they are still woefully apathetic and uninformed/misinformed.
They still adhere to whatever “top 10” playlist they are sold and whatever “top 10” talking points that are shoved into their unsophisticated heads.
While I agree we should fight the evil ones wherever we can, I also believe that Hod has spoken and we will keep degenerating into a real sewer before Jesus returns....Trump is one who terrifies the evil among us because he slows them down and refuses to blink in their ineffectual wrath.
Evil just about wins but Jesus interrupts the 10 count to hand them a huge defeat in the final moments.
Pick any given time in history; pick any given person, or group...they - too - were “conflicted” by their future.
In 1961 - when I turned 16 - I had no idea what the future would hold...but, I still had to put on my big-boy pants and walk right into it.
These things don’t change with time, it’s just that now there are more places to write (and whine) about it.
Seems every journalist got into the business to try and acquire the skills to tell us his/her problems and hang ups...and they all do so...daily.
“Que Sera Sera”, whatever will be, will be...wise words and the stark truth. You can try and prepare for every contingency, but the future isn’t written, and anything can happen.
So, lets all just live life and stop trying to play “Back to he Future”.
Some people just are unreasonable and maladjusted and are not content unless they have absolute power and a harem with two thousand women. Political movements tend to house a disproportionate amount of those, alongside people who are really losing out to no fault of their own.
A lot of people are losing out due to bad choices they did earlier in life, say, studied puppetry instead of something useful. So they are losing out, and it’s their own fault, but they can’t do anything about it either, and so they join up the ranks of the opposition.
The point here is not who forms the ranks of the opposition. The point here is that in a democracy the opposition has an actual shot at grabbing power. They have the freedom to do so. They are encouraged to do so. And so any smart political agent is going to find a way to organize these people. The same way any smart commercial agent is going to find a way to make money. There is always someone. An evolutionary process will produce it.
And the resentful will win, because upward mobility is a very strong motivator. Hope really does trump fear. People with a shot at gaining status are always going to outcompete people who are just trying to keep what they have. They are plenty of pathways, but the writing is in the wall. In a “free society”, the politics will always move to the left. Always.
