America’s cognitive dissonance continues to deepen

How long can we remain a functioning country?

Our schizophrenic national divide is reaching a point at which the fabric of society is being shredded. The willful adherence to false “facts,” by both media and government actors is impossible to miss. Yet those in power plow forward with evil intention, knowing that the bulk of society will pay no attention; they’re asleep, they don’t care, and the label “misinformation” is enough to quell curiosity.

Compare George Floyd to any victim of black-on-black crime, for an easy example. Floyd was an addict, a bad actor with a criminal record and evil intentions, and had overdosed. The media turned him into a hero, and then everyone stood by, eyes averted, as his death was manipulated to cause riots. Yet the same media never report on continual violence in all our cities where, often, innocent children are the unwitting victims. Such violence is not “useful” in forwarding an agenda.

People must willfully ignore being manipulated. Those of us who notice are shouting into the wind but nobody hears us. The frustration level can become intolerable.

It’s the same with every aspect of society. With COVID, we’ve done just about everything wrong, leaving people both invested and terrified. How could they not live in fear, if they’ve become aware of the ill effects of their vaccine shots? They must close their eyes and ears.

If I were vaccinated, I would be scared every time I exercised, after watching athletes falling over on the field. I would be scared, if I were of childbearing age, and knew someone who had an unexplained stillbirth. I am afraid for everyone I know who took the jab. Will they live long and prosper? We don’t know. The large upswing in unexplained deaths is alarming.

It is also about the money. Club Fed hands out big bucks to school districts that comply with the rules to get the money. Masking is one of the rules..

The left has historically been disconnected from reality. They have long needed an unhealthy dose of hypocrisy, double-standards, and willful ignorance of facts just to get through the day believing what they claim to believe.

Recently this disconnect has gotten significantly worse. The left is starting to really show their true tyrannical fascist colors and along with it has come even more "out there" notions in order to support their ever more authoritarian behaviors. Currently (because who knows what foolishness they'll foist on us tomorrow) two of the most glaring examples of this are:

Take the whole gender thing - 57 genders? Men can menstruate? "Birth person?" How can they spew this {censored} with a straight face? It is idiocy. Not so long ago if someone had made such claims people would've asked if that person had been dropped on their head as a child.

The "science" behind the scam-demic. A bug that for most demographics is nothing worse than a bad flu was used as an excuse to virtually shut down the global economy and claim all kinds of "temporary" and "emergency" powers. Two years into "two weeks to flatten the curve" and there is no end in sight - just a continual stream of variants and dictatorial decrees. Then there's the flip flop on "masks for everyone" to/from "masks don't work" or "only these kinds of masks..." Or better yet - social distance at the airport...just before being wedged into an aircraft literally shoulder to shoulder. Or masks in restaurants! Until you're seated, apparently the virus only infects the standing/walking? Or "the vaccines work!" but "the vaccines don't work - you need a booster." A booster of the exact same stuff they say doesn't work. Wait, what? No, you can't make this stuff up.

The common theme is none of this makes any {Diety-cursed} sense. We are just being jerked around so that we focus our energy on whatever the latest decree is rather than on the fact that we're being jerked around and no-longer free. eff the fascists.

Teachers and lawyers are among the hardest people to reach with anything outside the narrative.
