This is by Design

Well, it is pretty much a dumpster fire of division and injustice in this woke world. The cry from Network: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" totally describes how I used to feel about the woke stuff that has invaded everything from social media to workplaces to even casual conversations with people I once called friends. It's a perverse world where up is down, wrong is right, and if you dare not applaud every absurd idea that gets shoved out there, you are the biggest bigot. Divide and conquer at its best. Or worst, maybe.

Not any more. If it angers me, it beats me. If it frustrates me, it angers me again. And the cycle continues. So no, I no longer let it have any influence to my life. When I hear them trying to convince me up is down, I think about the story of the guru. This man visits the Guru after a long search, as he has heard the Guru is the happiest and most content man who lives and nothing angers or frustrates him. The man is researching for his book on happiness and contentment. The man asks the Guru, "what is your secret to happiness and contentment"? The Guru answers, I don't argue with fools. The man disagrees and says that does not seem the right way to do it. The Guru replies, with a smile, "you're right. So if you want to try convince me a man can have a baby and a woman can have balls, you're right:)

It is not about unity or progress or any of the shiny buzzwords they logically put down to make it sound noble. It is about division. You have two kinds of people who may have gotten along just fine enough-imperfectly, but fine and turn them into tribes that cannot stand each other. With the program or the enemy. No middle ground, no discussion, just a big fat line in the sand. And for what? So we can all pat ourselves on the back for being "enlightened" while the world burns down around us?

Its far more sinister that it may seem. When on average, 95% of white males are in same race marriages. Or in South Africa, 97% of white males and 99% of black males are in same race marriages. Similarly, Same sex couples, represent 0.9% of households in the US and figures are similar worldwide. Yet watch a TV show, or movie from the past few years, the challenge then would be find one where there are NO "diversity" individuals in them. Then there is workplace and universities "diversity" policies. The one HURTS everyone. People fit and qualified are being replaced with "diversity" applicants, who are NOT fit and qualified. Then they fail and the entire "diversity" group is looked on as less than. I keep putting "diversity" in quotation marks because "diversity" used to be minority. Caucasians are now the minority. So WHO is creating this division and WHY? Thats what we need to be looking at, instead of fighting each other.

What pains me the most is the ultimate anti-libertarian hypocrisy. The rules don't apply equally-never do. Somehow, it has become perfectly acceptable to trash straight white guys like me. Call us privileged, call us trash, blame us for every problem under the sun, open season, nobody bats an eyelash. Reverse the script. Dares one criticise anybody else? Suddenly there are hate crimes, there are scandals, there are cancellable issues.

What they expect us to swallow is beyond ludicrous. We're supposed to nod along to ideas that would have been laughed out of the room just a decade ago, all because someone slapped a hashtag on it and called it progress. If you don't buy in, you aren't just wrong, you're evil-a bigot, a phobe, a relic needing to be shamed into silence. I'm not playing the game. I'm not here to grovel for approval from people who'd rather see me a caricature than a human being.

That's actually the worst of it. The whole atmosphere has been poisoned. You can't hold an honest conversation anymore without wondering if you're going to set off some unknown landmine. People police your words, your thoughts, even the motives behind them-and if you don't cut the mustard according to their impossible standards, tough luck. You're completely screwed. It's draining. It's fake. And it divides us when we should be learning to live with each other rather than figuring out how to hate one another better.

I miss the days when you could be at odds with someone without declaring an endless blood feud. I miss when people could laugh at a joke, or at least avoid transforming every little slip into a federal case. This woke age? A bunch of nonsense. It is a power trip for the eternally offended, and I am done with it. Call me whatever, bigot, dinosaur-whatever-don't care; I am not bowing down to this crap. I would rather be the villain in their story than a puppet in their game.

I don't care what you are, where you came from, what colour, gender, or social class you come from. I literally don't give a fuck. Everyone is equal in my eyes and should be in yours too. Then we wont be at each others throats, but at the throats of those who did this to us all.
