In the past, before any of the current screaming, maddening crowds were even a thought form, Joe Stalin attempted to destroy Russia\u2019s heritage, Mao tried to do the same thing in China, and Pol Pot likewise in Cambodia. The difference between then and now is that there was no public online access to anything until 1997, two years before the governance of Hong Kong was returned to Beijing and the Chinese government. With the rise of the internet, the world became an open door.<\/p>\n
This instant access to whatever is going on now, which we take for granted, provides us with a window to the\u00a0 true nature of people who term themselves Liberals, but are liberal in name only. The readiness to pounce on something that someone says and attack it, or to find a target like a teenager who did nothing and pile on him based on falsehoods published by news media, or to misidentify someone as the person who committed a crime, when in fact, he did nothing of the sort, has become a near obsession. It\u2019s seen as an opportunity to let anger fly, and to generate headlines and grab attention, frequently over nothing or over something that was incorrectly reported in the first place. Anyone who is “different” or does not fall into line is a horrible person.<\/p>\n
We saw that most recently when WaPo and CNN and other media sources incorrectly reported who was at fault and who was the victim in a confrontation induced by an old gasbag toward a teenager. And WaPo is getting its ass handed to it, as are some other media rags.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s very much like watching a herd of buffalo stampede toward a cliff\u2019s edge. Just get out of their way!<\/p>\n
A large portion of the abrasiveness appears to be self-generated. There is no real reason for it. It\u2019s just \u201cpile on the target\u201d time, and the Hell with the consequences down the road.<\/p>\n
The problem with WaPo rose from an exaggerated need to manufacture a sensationalist story out of nothing. This was a common practice in the days of Hollywood gossip columnists, and has increased exponentially in the last few years: use the tabloid gossip approach. The media incorrectly reported that a security guard who found an unattended backpack in a trashbasket in Atlanta, during the Summer Olympics, was the bomber, when the backpack exploded shortly thereafter around 1AM that night.\u00a0 Unfortunately for them, he was not the bomber.<\/p>\n
If it isn\u2019t going to cause or create an emotional rush in people, then it isn\u2019t worth the bother. Accuweather has developed the habit of posting stories with exaggerated headlines on their website, or videos of reporters standing in flooded ditches after a hurricane when the waters have actually receded.<\/p>\n
Sensationalism may be a way to sell comic books, as you\u2019d know if you saw the covers of SGT Rock, Doc Savage, Green Lantern, Batman and Wonder Woman back in the 1960s.\u00a0But this isn\u2019t the 1960s, when having a single telephone line was a luxury, and television had three channels, all of which shut off around midnight.<\/p>\n
This is the early 2000s, with instant communications and online access to the entire world, even if some of it isn\u2019t safe. It is taken for granted now. If it were to suddenly shut down, where would these people be?<\/p>\n
Good manners used to be in vogue, and common courtesy still existed. Now it\u2019s bad manners, foul language, barely contained anger, and some deep-seated burning hatred of everything and everyone that isn\u2019t just like The Them.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Apologist Central, get permission to say things first unless you want the angst-ridden, boiling angry, fight-picking harridans to come screaming down on you, descending like those Harpies that liked to tear people to shreds.<\/p>\n
When you read Peggy Noonan\u2019s article at https:\/\/outline.com\/Nx75k9<\/a> , she draws the similarity to Mao\u2019s so-called cultural revolution (destruction of the past) with more than just clarity. It is going on here and now in the gaggle of left-leaning politicians who want votes, and who had uttered unapproved and apparently heinous speech without permission from The Gangs of Twitter.<\/p>\n Even Fauxcahontas is saying she now regrets taking a DNA test, like the phony baloney she is.\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/www.thecut.com\/2018\/12\/elizabeth-warren-is-starting-to-regret-that-dna-test-report.html<\/a><\/p>\n Fine. Let them stew in it. Wallow in it. Flail themselves with bundles of thorned branches. Parade in public wearing crowns of thorns, sackcloth and ashes. After all, when a crapweasel politician says those who object to his approach to gun ownership should be doxxed, which is a felony, who is it that is going overboard with this spoiled brat squalling and temper tantrum crap?<\/p>\n The best approach is to be informed of what they do, always be aware of it, keep track of it, and just plain get out of their way. They are galloping headlong toward what they think is a golden apple or something, but cannot see the cliff\u2019s edge ahead of them.<\/p>\n Take pictures if you like, but just get out of their way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
