I have to plug this amazing amazing book that tackles the subject of the the Matt Walsh movie. It is dense and exhaustive and I wouldn't have finished it if not for audiobooks. But it is for really getting answers and understanding history and concepts of cultural movements and how we define ourselves as individuals as well as a collective. And like I said, it is a very scholarly and high minded good faith attempt at explaining how and why we got here, asking that very question. What is a woman? How is it that people even understand the question at all? He explains. The author is a Christian academic. Very conservative.
Oh yeah. Lol. The book. Here
Glad you didn't over react. Imagine if during that time of learning to manage her hormones, and going through some changes in self presentation and figuring out who you are, she was being attacked and maligned as evil and you as a parent were accused vocally by strangers that you are grooming as a pedo satanist or something.
Look, there's the media and whatever they are doing with this shit. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about your story about your daughter is the same story many parents are dealing with. I have a friend that went through almost the exact same story as you. I've heard many. I am repelled by extremism and think that the left and the right have allowed the media to gaslight them into making the story much less banal than just a story of children and parents going through normal hormonal challenges together.
I'm glad you shared that btw.
May just have a different strategy for managing his sanity while still trying to bring warmth and joy to his children, family and friends. Not being contrary, it's just that I challenge myself to be as compassionate as I can. I like giving people credit.
Yeah, I could see that. Good point. And frankly, I have much sympathy for that group. I'm projecting of course, but I imagine a lot of this group are people we know and love. They have built much in their communities and families, and simply don't want to lose it. They want to have steady things and they thrive off of structure and stability. They keep their nose to the grindstone and don't have time or inclination to become emotionally disturbed over geopolitical events on the other side of the country/world and the potential butterfly effects and potentialities. They're humans alright. I'm rambling. .
The funny thing is that he knows that nobody went to bed sad last night at all. Either you know he's conducted all of this and is acting and directing and making a movie, or you don't know about that at all and just see him about to be punished for his crimes like you hoped would eventually happen anyway.
But because he knows the ending and will eventually be able to reveal that Biden isn't even the real Biden, but an actor. And then of course, the rest of it.
Well, sorta.
Creatures on this earth die every day. Outcry can't be expected for all of them, so it isn't surprising really.
This is accurate. They are terrified. And terror is not a wise motivator. Normal people don't want to be terrified into submission. Even autists and other atypical types don't like being coerced through terror.
I guess it doesn't matter anyway.
Yeah! Donald Trump and The White Hats!
This isn't dooming because typically if you're the type of person to reason this out and not just because people say it, then you're probably the type of person to continue a journey of discovery until you are dead, regardless. And so from vantage points beyond that reasoned maxim , you will see yet another perspective. And from this perspective one can glimpse and perhaps eventually see the balance and beauty, and a fuller understanding of this, that we call life.
You're fine.

This is what everyone, including normal people think. And they've thought it for a very long time now, but especially since Jan 6th. Not many people here will admit it though.
Many people are saying it never even happened. Fireworks for the normal people
Exactly. People that don't believe in an afterlife have a philosophical argument against being "awake" to something that they don't have to be if they don't want to be. And as a person that mostly detests being told what to do, as well as a person that for better or worse will become oppositional to my own detriment, I can relate to those that are decent but won't be compelled to wake up until after the movie is over. They'll still want to know what crappened.
Perhaps an Opera, as well. Think big!
If you are a slacker, yeah. If you take personal responsibility for your work and have a work ethic, you will want to honestly exchange labor for services rendered. Productive members of society will learn and rise past menial labor but having now valuable lessons they will climb a different ladder than those that need to be coerced or managed so they don't take pay without rendering services. Which is theft. Which means that person is a criminal type.
