Rob's House Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 3 hours ago, GG said: The tide certainly isn't turning, and in fact is gathering steam. This is probably how the Chinese felt at the dawn of the Cultural Revolution, and certainly how Russians felt at the beginning of the Stalinist purification. Don't ignore the powerful forces who are now the main outlets of "truth" GG's right. They're not cooling off, they're escalating. That's why it's important that everyone do what they can in their own sphere of influence to push back, because they won't stop until they hit resistance, and right now they're not getting any. They're trying to create the impression that their movement has overwhelming support for 2 reasons. 1. To make people afraid to challenge them, and 2. Bandwagon effect. It's shown that people are instinctively inclined to adopt the beliefs they perceive as being held by the majority. That's why they skew polls. It's to influence others. I'm not suggesting anyone should tank their career and go out in a blaze of glory, but we need to do what we can to let other people know they're not alone. Outside of California, we're the majority. Even rational Democrats (oxymoron, I know) think this is getting out of hand. But we're being bullied into silence and compliance, and the weaker among us are getting swept away in the tide. If we sit quietly and wait for things to go back to normal we're going to be waiting until the cows come home. And the cows just hopped on a one way train to the slaughterhouse. 4 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Have you noticed that the allegedly educated, thoughtful parts of our society just swing from one variety of mass hysteria to another with hardly a pause in between? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to post much on my FB page about politics because I don’t want to be “ that guy”. I have to try to be as non political as I can about this so what I’ve been doing is been posting some of the extreme absurdities of the woke mob. I can’t just do nothing about it. I have to try to shine a light on what’s happening. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to try to shine a light on what’s happening. I'm in a similar situation. I don't want to marginalize myself, and I have "friends" in my professional community and don't want to get blackballed, but I can't stay silent. I will post things that are not too controversial in the comments section or on my main profile, and I make a point to like the posts of those with the balls to speak up so as to show support, but I started a closed group for people I trust where I can be more direct. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we should all be afraid of the cancel culture. That will solve it. I'm not really in love with what Fromm said but shouldn't he get at least a few points for being mostly anti 2nd amendment? That's the in thing now isn't it? 6 hours ago, Hedge said: Would a drone strike be considered to be on foreign soil like when Obama did it? Are those things accurate enough to target hippies?

Magox Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Could you just imagine if right wing militia took over 7 blocks of a major US city, the outrage and coverage from the national news media. Not only would it be the biggest story in the US, it would be major international news. Just another example of how broken of an institution that the media have become.
