Remember When Content and Originality counted? Now, it is Divide

Remember when we didn't have a million topics to bring up to divide us?  Back in the early days of this blog, there were offers to monetize the content, switch platforms, speak to media outlets, etc.. but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. They didn't realize that much of what I was saying was simply sarcasm to drive home an underlying point about issues and the stupidity and lies that were being fed to us every day.  Instead, they wanted me to lean into it! More and more people started reading the stupid thing and pretty soon even family members were starting to take it all a little too serious.  

I mean seriously people, it is so easy to trigger a lot of you with sarcasm and throwing your own hypocrisy back at you that it was/is pretty entertaining.  But I am good, chances are, you are not.  I take on all parties, you do not.  I am not out to feel like I am part of a group and my feelings are special, you are.  Honestly, I could have a field day with the whole abortion and covid vaccination debate that is now being used BUT I made that argument a year ago, while you were so focussed on your stance, and not what your stance meant as a larger issue.  

• You can't for one minute say that the government has a right to what happens to your medical health one minute and then say that it doesn't the next.  Do you realize how freaking moronic you sound?
• You can't say that cancel culture is good but then bitch when the shit you like gets canceled.
• You can't be for protecting the filibuster under one guy and then want to destroy it the next.
• You can't be for Supreme Court rulings one minute and then want to pack the court the next.
• You can't be for climate legislation in our country, yet are ok with purchasing oil etc.. from dictators in another.  The shit is being produced one way or another and if you believe in climate change, then you believe and understand that it is a GLOBAL issue.  Not a state or even a country issue.  
• If you drive a car that runs on batteries that need to be charged, you have to understand that Fossil fuels are still being used to power your car when it is plugged in.  
• If you are a member of PETA, you can't be in favor of large windmills that slaughter thousands of birds every year but be against hunters.  
• If you are wearing this month's Black lives Matter shirt, then you can't ignore the black-on-black killings that happen in your districts, and do nothing about it except defund the police. 
• You can not be for sending troops into every global conflict that comes along, yet protect your own children from the draft
• You flee one location because the state has become a shithole due to the policies that you helped pass, then once at your new location you repeat the mistakes you made before.

There are literally thousands of these that I could rattle off but let us use these few examples to illustrate just how fucked up some of your thinking is and how easy it is to formulate posts that make you think.  You have no real backbone or beliefs.  You are just brainwashed and then we all hear your idiotic stances on these issues because of Social media!  

For those of you that suck at blogging and social media, why do you still try?  You peck at your keyboards on your laptop or phone to spew your unoriginal, uninteresting, unfunny "take" and pollute us all with your ignorance and hate to what end?  Is it therapeutic?  Do you feel like that ONE tweet or terrible post is going to change the conversation?  On Twitter, if you have made over 100 posts and you have under 20 likes total and under 100 followers, GIVE UP.  If you blog and can't get subscribers, emails, bookmarks, OR hear about your blog being discussed by strangers out in public, GIVE UP.  

Check out your view count, likes, and followers... Nobody cares.  And if you change who you are, to simply try to achieve a following or get a "like" then do you don't even care about yourself?  So maybe this whole political/current event punditry thing isn't for everyone, right?  I am sure that there is useless shit out there that you can post about that you are extremely knowledgeable about, so do that.  Don't simply throw wood onto a fire that is already burning out of control, just to feel special and involved.  Honestly, everybody is entitled to an opinion but that doesn't mean that your opinion "matters", especially if you are just repeating what you heard from your favorite cable news host.  

You watch MSNBC, CNN, and Fox all day and then spew the same shit you just heard because you play for that specific team and they tell you how to think and feel about every issue.  From Abortion to Zoology, your takes and insights into issues fit nice and neat along whatever channel you watch and then you hit the keyboard like a windup toy and repeat what you heard.  Such talent and insight. 

When was the last time that you went after a member of the party your supported? Probably never...  Sheep and Lemmings are making us all feel more divided than we probably really are, just remember that.
