Having lived on two of the continents, and visited many of the cities on your list, I agree with every...single...one of your points. Then again, I'm a simple man with simple needs, which might explain why I live in Oklahoma. It's still hell, but it's a boring, predictable hell.
When will belief in Bronze-Age superstitions be classified as the mental illness it is? After all, we wouldn't hesitate to call OTHER adults batshit crazy for talking to invisible people...in public, especially.
The nutjobs opposed to the teaching of Critical Race Theory inherited the gene for believing unhinged conspiracy theories from their ancestors who were terrified of cats and who coined the term, Critical Cat Theory. (CCT)
Unexpectedly poignant. Nicely done, Christine.
You're right, of course, but they've been flaunting their true colors at least since we elected our first black President.
With the exception of one private Facebook group of Army buddies I want to keep up with I never have, nor will I EVER use any social media. You're spot-on about the media hyping its importance, though. Why the fuck would an adult human who's capable of critical and original thought, and has an ounce of pride voluntarily fund a whiny billionaire's vanity project? I'd rather have a root canal.
I'm convinced they're jealous of my grandparents' generation, aka The Greatest Generation; they could never compete with their parents, so they embraced Reagan, his voodoo economics and the Graham klan's bullshit "prosperity gospel." Suddenly, anyone who isn't a greedy fuck is a social parasite. As a Gen-Xer, I witnessed it firsthand. My wife and I consciously try to live our lives in a way that would make GRANDPARENTS proud. Fuck Boomers and everything they claim to stand for. Oh, and we're not breeders either. I can't think of a worse torture than finding out the hard way that genes really do skip a generation...and not TWO; I'm not about to spin that roulette wheel.
Jesus effing Christ! My wife and I already scramble for the remote whenever a Humane Society ad comes on. While we both support UNICEF, I put the chances at NOT ZERO that one or both of us would destroy our TV if this ad appeared.
