Your Fellow Citizens Want You to be Subhumanized
This is evil, dangerous, and entirely unsustainable.
I’ve been following a guy by the name of Tom Woods since May of 2020. He was one of the first really clear voices I heard cut through the din of the howling maniacs to make sense. He’s got a great email newsletter.
This morning, I read this:
Is this “justice for all”?
These are the people who all my life I’ve been told are the compassionate ones. The ones fighting for equality. The virtuous. The brave. For the little guy.
Yeah, that’s a bunch of bullshit.
Instead, we see further proof that these are the malleable. The terrified. The purveyors of all kinds of wickedness. The baseless and the unhinged.
I’m a peacemaker. I hate the division. My intention is never to further divide. Yet it’s really tough to stomach something like this and maintain that stance when the data above is so clear.
People in YOUR life, in MY life, want us “othered”, and it has nothing to do with science, logic, or rationality.
ALLL that said, we need to be bigger. WE DO need to be the peacemaker, to turn the other cheek, as difficult as it is. The winds and tides change, and right now, these feckless, vacillating wraiths that we call our fellow man, our family and friends, are incredibly wrong. When the winds change, they’ll change their tune, and as hard as it will be, we need to be open as they come back to some level of sanity.
I for one don’t WANT to do that. I don’t WANT to forgive. This is betrayal. This is deep hurt. But I don’t want a civil war. Being in the US, I don’t want to see the country split. I want to pursue “One Nation Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice For All”. We are stronger together.
But man, it’s going to be really hard.
Thoughts?
There’s only one hope.
If anyone still see things as red/blue, Dems/GOP, they're not getting it (I'm not implying you are, just commenting on the poll. I don't know anything about the polling company or polling companies, but you can make a poll to have whatever results you want. I think they are also used to further divide and inflame. This particular one, I have my doubts about the ultimate motivation and how the results were obtained. Definitely not making any excuses or defending anything though).
Red and blue play for the same team, and have for a very long time. It's probably the #1 hardest thing for people to recognize and ultimately come to terms with, at least from my experience.
