Sometimes when the night is long
and the wind is cold and I'm all alone
I think of you
and if we'd meet again
I've got nothing left to say.

Political and Media Inanity

We are living in regressive times. Some people feel impowered to misbehave. No one is guiding them.

If they don't know to guide themselves? But to encourage disrespect? What is the real nature of the cruelty? Just imaginings of old lonely people?

When things are fraudulent most people can tell right away. But it takes tiem for the charade to be taken down if there is a live-and-let live attitude. But if it's a 'mean peopl deserve to die' point of view, someone thinks that is a righteoud way to proceed and a moral code for guiding their actions . . . one hopes that if such child minded miscreents really do want to kill mean people that someone would tell them no, and perhaps give them strong discipline if the young mind goes on with the malevalence against those whom he/she/? opposes.

Unfortunatly it seems as though some people deal with their mentally ill by encourging those confused to go off and kill the mean, or kill the infidel, or kill someone other than us here. Yes, confusion. Yes, Young people with troubled imaginings about others. But to say 'ya, you are correct that they, those infidels, are mean and deserve to die'? Does anyone really do that? I've not overheard anyone really doing that but we are purported to be shown this in news reports. But news from a war zone is usually propaganda so . . . and now the whole INternet is a war zone in somepeoeple's eyes. So what are we supposed to believe anymore?

The answer? Well, I've got someone in mind. You might have someone else. If so then rememeber whatever your point of view you must be eccumenical or else you can become tryannical. The whole 'we are the only saved' point of view is warned against when Jesus tells his deciples that he has 'other flocks who also know my voice'.

Yes, we are living in times where intollerance gets applause by some, where anti-americanism is also encouraged by some, and where those who oppose that point of view are often happy to act as if it gets strong support. An idiot says stuff at a podium and tries to get the crowd to ape along at a poltical rally? That is always a sign that shows us someting of the nature of those who would chant along, as if it were a rave or a show where it ought to happen. Or a holy congregation, and not a fake one as it is. The congregtation of 'give us power so we can punish those who you delude are your enemies'.

If we can't 'take back' the process, maybe it's time for a different process? That starts inside oneself. But we are all subject to disspiriting and depression, so we loose focus. Those things that didn't used to matter suddenly become vexing moral issues that we concern ourselves about. We read about a jingo head chanting hatred, and suddenly we are troubled by it. As if their moral failings are going to come up and bash us on the head. Well, it can happen and we do hear about that.

When those who declare judgement do so, they declare it mostly upon their own point of view. Whatever that cur imagines is the evil thing about the object that he uses to place his wrath, and then, his object,he declares that the almighty has thus declared judgement . . . as if he would know what the almighty might want. Or if he did know, he God does talk to him, then why wouldn't God be able to thus talk to everyone? Or does God have a full schedule otherwise? So 'calamities' are considered wrath and we have an example of what many consider retrograde morality. And then the press publishes this retrograde point of view, that they could know God's will and decalre that events represent deserved wrath.

But those who feature such retrograde morality are also, in some sense, echoing the hate. But then if we are directed to resist not evil, are we also being told to not know about it? To not be aware of it? To not shout it down and command it to stop? Remind those who are in the throws of evil intention that they still have a moral obligation to not follow through with their evil activities?

The easy choice that some make is a cop out. They pretend that evil is not real, that it is all moral choice and how dare I judge, which Jesus tells us not to do, someone about to do something that they feel compelled to do why are you being a cultural imperialist?

Most people know how to deal with a shpeal like that. It's BS. Hurting people isn't about alternative morality or cultural activity. When you hurt people, when you assault them it's not a cultural choice to do it. It is a criminal choice. It's a void that causes such behavior, a moral void. People who act like that need to be called out on it and when we don't we fail. When we don't protect the innocents, when we justify the brutality as 'payback', when we speak of 'retrobution' and 'will of God', we've gone off rail then and we need to be remnded that the rethoric that we use can very well be interpreted to encourage riotous and antisocial activity.

Anger never justifies it. Past injustice is only an excuse that people use. Revenge is always wrong. Envy compels people towards evil intention. Assault if always a crime.

And if one really were a prophet then why would not that one tell us what we would need to know in order to avoid the wrath. But in the case of the one who inspired me to go on with it today, he seems to revel in his point of view with a very clear us-verse-the-evil-they-who-wil-get-theirs point of view. And it's based upon his perceptions of race and national identity. We used to call such a person a bigot or a racist. But the haters will tell you that only White people can be racists, and unless they are White (if you belive in such things) then they prove themselves wrong.

Anyone can be a bigot. Everyone is about something at some point of their life. And they may get back there later with the onset of dementia. We need to find them when they are not in that mindset, talk to them then, encourage open minded non-racial schemas for human behavior to be the way to interpret events.

Of course only fools deny the problem of race in the world. But bigger fools will only let the discussion be about that. And they will accuse that everyone stems from that. They do not see that even if their prefered 'mix of people' were all it were, the very same problems would still exist. And after a few generations there would be the same kind of divisions that really stem from the various natures of individuals, and how one's skills and mindset determine so much in life.

Certain personality types do better in some things than others. Humans are human. And if government gets to decide who gets the best of it, it is usually government that will get all that bestness. The government becomes the upper class and overlords. A class system always rearrises.
