Blade has always been neutral and unfortunately got drawn into our usual crap.
He’s a wealth of advice and information firearms related. And puts in a lot of helpful effort.
This discussion can go in circles endlessly.
Nonetheless it’s good to question the narrative, question authority.
Why am I being told to hate evs
Why am I being told to hate renewables
Why am I being told to hate a teenage girl.
Why am i being told to hate gays.
Why am I being told to blame everything on feminism.
Why am I being told to hate black people.
Those who want the answers will dig and find them in their own time. You just have to consider who or what you empower when you subscribe to their narrative and your answer lies there.
Hate is a powerful tool. Those who teach it know well what man is capable of. The goal may be chaos and total collapse of society. To reset it and mobilise their own twisted visions for a new world.
Or in this case not to. To keep the empowered safe in their high castles.
Hit the the nail squarely Womble.
Division is the new black. Only its not really new, just new again.
Unfortunately, divisive tribalistic political ideology only has one destination, we saw it in the lead up to every major war.
The Americans have turned it into an artform and, like many other toxic Americanisms, it's taken hold here.
People are leaving the reasoned centre and are flocking to the unreasoning extremes.
Mention that you don't like the LNP, many people automatically assume you
love the Labor party.
Say anything negative about Anus Tangerinus and they assume you're a Biden lover, never once considering you may detest both with equal fervour.
This phenomenon has leached into all manner of things with more and more people losing the ability, or perhaps just the desire, to see
any shades other than black or white.
If you are one of the dwindling number of us who remain centred, you are attacked from both sides, the right think you're a commie because you're to their left, the left think you're a nazi because you're to their right.
I know it sounds all kumbaya and probably borderline gay to the extremists, but the centre is the only place where compromise is possible, and peaceful coexistence is only possible with both extremes willing to give as well as simply divide in order to dominate.
I absolutely love my loud, thirsty, dinosaur burning V8, but I know his days are numbered and I'm just adult enough to accept that things beyond my control are changing.
Vehicle manufacturers
are transitioning to electric whether the naysaying climate deniers like it or not.
OPEC knows it, they've just further reduced production to drive oil prices even higher, because the KNOW their end is coming and are shovelling as much profit as they can before the inevitable time arrives when oil is only used in the chemicals and plastics industries.
I'm sure our American compatriots here will have one of their seemingly innumerable conspiracy theories by the UN, UNESCO, WEF, WWF or WTF to blame for this move but it's simply an industry seeing its most lucrative income stream coming to an end.
