The greatest weapon against personal freedoms, in my opinion, is the widespread acceptance of personal dismissives in our social encounters to end a topic of discussion.

"Whatever"
"Ok, dude."
"Youre wrong."
"Shut it."
"Blocked"
"Deleted."

These are some of the arrows against spirit, we all use.

Ruin lies ahead. Stay the fight for civility, and keep your humors.

If we can't laugh at ourselves, then we have lost.

Mighty times. Mighty forces. Mighty mens must prevail.

They can't answer because they don't read. They just stare at that little device in their hand. My grandkids are the same. Pay a hundred dollars a month for that. People today do not know what is going on in the world.

Information overload shorts the brain.

For Republicans, facts trump feelings.

For Democrats, feelings trump facts.

Sensitivity trumps feelings. Feelings are lame if you're insensitive to the feelings of others.

Real souls care about expanding their sensitivity.

Japan has a problem with ~10% of it's younger people seeing no path forward and give up and live in Mommies basement. These people become SJWs here. I disagree strongly with the solutions offered but we have to discuss the roots of the problems without dismissing. Otherwise the next civilization will have to do it.

Societal decay, and we can thank identity politics for causing division and widening the gap. Each faction is becoming increasingly polarised and unable or unwilling to work together. Only the elites are united against us (and they are pretty cannibalistic within their own tier).
Thanks marxism, for ruining humanity. Ayn Rand's books are looking more like prophecies every day

The doom of repeated history. The warped tires of stagnation thump down the road.

When I was growing up it was considered impolite to talk about politics or religion in a social setting such as a party or dinner. Churches were generally very careful not to talk politics. Personal detail about candidates for public office were off limits and people tried to stick to policy. That of course was just small town, middle class values. But it is kind of interesting. I always wondered when it was ok to talk about politics.

You forgot "sex".

I have to dismiss myself from those conversations often, but mostly to keep the "dogs at bay".

But i work on not dismissing "you".

The bonfires of my passions melt steel on a normal day.

I have to be careful, though. I care not to melt foundation stone.

@CuriousFury

Well sex was so far off the table it was in another country.

@wolfhnd pick up a "cosmopolitan"🤯

@CuriousFury

Did they leave those out or did they hide them along with the Playboy magazines?

I know there was a lot of hypocrisy, it comes with the middle class values but it was kind of pleasant to just have a good time and talk about the weather or how the fish were biting.

@wolfhnd finance, in my family, was also taboo.

Would maybe have been nice if it wadden't.

@wolfhnd no slight on the departed, but rush cracked political discussion open.

I remember, as a teen, rush's tv show briefly cast, but short lived.

Cancelled to the radio.

Probably the cigars.

I remember the revolution of zeitguist though.

@CuriousFury

You know of all the kids in my family I think I'm the only one who didn't think the middle class values were insane. Ironically I was also the only one who had any real political opinions. I just didn't feel much need to share my inner thoughts I guess.

@wolfhnd well, i am a curious cat, with a voice for an ampitheatre

Regostrr magizines were cosmo vogue teen beattime and the natiònal enquirerer.

They left the soldier of fortunes stu think with the blackbelt guns and ammo?, muscle car and comics in the corner rack so kods wouldnt hold up the lines thumbing through them.🙃

@CuriousFury

They had porn in the drugstores but I never saw anyone buy it. Must have been some way to hide the sales from kids. I remember the same drugstores sold sanitary napkins and they would wrap them in brown paper so nobody knew what the women were buying, oddly that was the only thing they wrapped in brown paper. Then the mothers would take the kids home and the kids would watch dad breed livestock. It was world perfectly made for kids to enjoy the insanity of their parents.

@wolfhnd corner convieniènce store.

Arcade games, cigars and chewing tobacco right next to the comics in a blind spot of security.

Drugstore, magazine rack about the size of one side of a periodic shelf at barns and noble.

The whole world of intrigue rummaged within.

@CuriousFury I wonder if, rather than/along with rush, CNN and MTV reality programs?

@govols yeah, cnn. Live coverage of house and senate. Mid 80s. Iran-contra. Ollie north trial.

@govols mtvs first reality show was the real world. I don't remember politics or religeon a focus, but sex definately was a topic. 93?

@CuriousFury, yeah that was 92, and rock the vote was 90.

@govols i forgot rock the vote. I didnt pay much attention to that. I was 14 that year
