Have you seen WestWorld season 2?
This time is the Rejection of Reason.
I see it in science. I see it in politics.
Hell, I see it in my personal dealings.
The Lord of Lies is working overtime. This is not a man-made thing, this not a man-centric struggle.
This is a war of Powers and Principalities.
Get right with God.
I am so screwed.
me too.
I think you might want to listen a bit closer about the gun thing and your statement.. “today more people have guns than ever” is a complete fabrication. maybe your dad is just checking to see if YOUR bullshit meter is working
It is disturbing. Its disturbing that people would in the face of facts
and even good ol common sense embrace narratives and viewpoints that are have been or will be disproven, and why? Because the truth is too painful to accept. Because a position they hold dear would be debunked or contradicted and theyd rather stick beans in their ears and babble about how they cant hear you. Theyd rather misquote someone and repeat and dissect a fragment of what a person they do not admire said as what they really meant, and when it suits them completely ignore what people they admire say that is truly in the negative.
Its good to question authority and try to get to the bottom of things,
but when you hold an inflexible position that denies incontrovertible
facts that should be at your own peril and not at others.
For example, on the way to work last winter I heard a fellow commute passenger , a millennial Latina college kid assert that Trump controlled the weather and allowed it to be inclement. What can you say or discuss with someone who espouses that kind of idiocy? How can you talk to 9/11 troofers, climate change believers, socialists, kneeling racialists, who have no facts to support their beliefs? I know I wouldnt get in a plane knowingly with a pilot who has flown at altitudes where the curvature of the earth can be seen but denies it.
I think attempts to equate concern over government attempts to disarm the population with flat earth theories is disturbing.
So it is the aliens....
"Oh, you think some kind of conspiracy was behind the 911 attacks? You must be a flat-earther moron!"
Well man. I live in Alabama. Everyone that I work with wont leave the house without a gun.
