Is It Just Me Or…
12/5/2022 | Me

Posted on 12/05/2022 2:09:55 PM PST by The Louiswu

Is it just me or does the country seem more divided not less? Both sides, right and left, appear to be taking a position, digging in their heels, accusation and finger pointing at an all time high. How long can this go on? How does it end?

Social media, rather than creating a more interactive society, could be its undoing. Humans are not designed to interact at anything beyond the scope of a tribe / neighborhood. Are minds are not engineered for it.

It ends in civil war.

Possibly correct. But my personal opinion...and hope...is that it ends, or begins, with revolutionary war. God help us all.

And keep yer powder dry.

And...totally off topic. I assume you’ve been keeping a watch on the progress of Ringworld on Amazon. Heard anything juicy?

It’s likely because of bloggers.
Bloggers and Qtards.

Illegal alien Qtards with blogs and Substack pages.

They will be the death of us all.

How long can this go on?

Until the Socialists run out of ‘other people’s money.’

How does it end?

Civil War.

Social stability in this country depends to a large degree on financial stability and people feeling able to keep up with rising costs while improving their standard of living. When those conditions disappear, as seems increasingly likely with persistent inflation and rising debt levels, people will become more restless. Just saying.

you ask how does it end...

well, with the left bent on destroying the country... there’s really only one choice.

surrender or fight.

this is not new. President Reagan knew this in 1961.

People can’t even discuss what to have for lunch without the shouting and the animosity. And a disturbing number of people truly believe that differing opinions are a hate crime.

It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

If it gets better.

Social media seems to have contributed to an outbreak of national neurosis. It amplifies every little issue into an emotional cauldron.

Yeah but

One side has the will to wipe the other side out but lacks the means

while

The other side has the means to wipe the other side off the face of the earth but doesn’t even have the will to give up watching football

So here we are

Why should I have anything to do with people who want me in prison or dead? Prepare to defend yourselves. Is that extreme?
