I did something I rarely do yesterday. Looked at a CNN report on YouTube. In the comments I came across a quote referenced and could not resist replying. What I discovered is how deeply entrenched the enemy is and how ugly this may get before it is over. I enjoyed poking the Lib but wonder if it may be smarter to keep my powder dry and my mouth shut.
OP: “The trouble ain’t that there are too many fools, but that the lightning ain’t distributed right.” — Mark Twain I thought it was fitting. Mark was quite the writer back then and even now he seems to understand deplorables very well.
ME: If lightning were the DNC would not exist nor would rigged elections
OP: The only person who did is Putin. Blaming the DNC with zero evidence is almost mental bro....we do love it tho....lol"
ME: The evidence against the DNC is overwhelming. To refuse to see their crimes is self destructive. As a friend, I would add, kill your TV. Your life will improve immediately.
OP: That is ignorant, the TV is not the problem it is the people the tv brings us that are the problem. Dummy"
OP: You dont have any friends. Looks to me you spend all your time in the woods alone. Its cool but becareful cause I am a hunter and I dont miss
ME: LOL You seem triggered. And too leftist indoctrinated to discuss anything with. Be careful what you wish for.
(Interestingly the last two comments he made don’t show up on the video comments, only in my notifications.)
OP: You are insane coming from the most corrupt party in history. The GOP is the prob children. Now stop projecting because i just pulled your comment history. Qanon seems to be your fav pastime
(I found the Qanon reference interesting because none of my previous comments on YT were politically oriented)
OP: Had your parents been educated and decent you would not be here trolling people who are way more educated and alert than you."
I don't think commenting is valueless. It's definitely nice to see other awakened people in the comments. Say your piece in one comment and ignore your notifications. Getting into a drawn-out comment debate stresses me out and wastes my precious energy.
An overlooked problem in commenting is the prosaic thinking that's required. Do you notice that while you're working or doing something else, your brain is in a verbal loop, thinking of the perfect thing to say to own your adversary?
Prosaic thinking is the enemy of wisdom. You don't want your thinking to be done with your head. It can be hard to overcome the inertia of prosaic thinking once it starts. It can stick with you until you go to sleep that night. Stay out of your head and in your body. Quiescence above the neck. Peace of mind.
