Greetings good citizen, while today's title may appear strange to you, stop and consider for a moment just where/how these 'homegrown terrorists' are getting 'radicalized'.
Yup, the net. For people who claim they don't read they sure spend a lot of time gawking at their smartphones...and NOTHING ELSE!
People don't talk anymore because the net has someone who 'gets' them, and speaks to their pain.
Couple that with the fact 'nobody listens' anymore and we learn what's driving this 'retreat' from that most human of activities, socializing.
We have pretty much stopped greeting one another...why say 'hi' if you don't want to talk [or be bored to death because the other person has nothing of interest to say to you...(how will you know if you don't listen?)]
Is socialization [talking to others about current events] a time waster? Does our 'plugged in' society no longer need the input of others to temper their judgement?
El Trumpo has already shared his OPINION that the NY attacker should receive the death penalty!
Is that, that? Trial by social media; execution at 11:00?
A society that recognizes NO social graces will soon have none. [listening is a courtesy for those who fail to understand the inference.]
The 'formality' of a 'trial' will be eliminated if the 'court of popular opinion' convicts you on 'hearsay' fabricated by people who just loves themselves some gratutitous punishment...and if the person they made shit up about dies as a result, 'yachtzee!'.
People don't need to 'discuss' the news anymore, they know all they need to know from slavishly checking their portable device, just like everybody else does...and since they already know...what's to talk about?
Each of us is 'plugged in' to sources that reflect our political beliefs, would be Republicans get their information from the fabricators at Fox News [who source half of what they receive from Breitbart]
More 'liberal' minded people get their news a layer removed from the source but since there are no 'real' liberals anymore, what they get are stories run through a weak liberal filter, mixed with a dash of outrage!
The result of this 'mushroom farm' is we no longer listen because we 'already know'.
Allow me to quote Einstien and his assessment of the situation: 'We KNOW one tenth of one percent of NOTHING!'
The talking heads may keep you 'informed' but they tell you NOTHING! We are no closer to knowing WHY the freakshow in Las Vegas happened than we are to learning who, precisely, murdered JFK.
Why don't you know you know nothing? Because you don't talk to anybody! [Perhaps I am off the mark, the real problem is YOU DON'T LISTEN!]
First you look around and see injustice everywhere you look but you don't question it because nobody wants to hear what YOU have to say.
If it were a 'real problem' the talking heads inside the little box that has enslaved you would tell you...[wouldn't they?]
That said, not everything that gets posted to the web is worthless...you simply have to 'know what you're looking at'.
I have told you repeatedly that my 'aim' is to raise awareness that you are being MANIPULATED by some very self-interested individuals who don't give a F what it does to society.
Consider me the 'Anti Mr. Robot' because I value what society represents...Mr. Robot wants to set society 'free' but society isn't about 'freedom' because society can't exist in chaos.
Society is about order and rationality...people who want neither are insane!
The problem, for those who repeatedly fail to see it, is not society but those who want society to see things 'their way'.
That's where the trouble starts. The current version of F-Society wants to decimate the tax base to the point where the government becomes paralyzed.
Then they'll holler bloody blue murder that their interests aren't being 'protected' and do the job themselves...and when NOBODY enjoys the 'protection of the courts, the 'law' will be dispensed from the barrel of a gun, just like it was in the 'wild, wild west!
When justice is 'whatever I say it is' you'll regret not striking up a conversation with that guy from Timbuktu when you had the chance to.
If you had 'listened' to him you would have learned for yourself, firsthand that he was loco!
But we don't 'listen' to people anymore so we don't get their 'measure'...and they don't get our (more valueable than you know) 'feedback'.
We are a 'reflection' of everyone we have ever encountered...our failure to engage those people when the opportunity arises is a gross failure indeed.
You can't catch a monster if you only sense/suspect something is 'a little off'.
How do you think the fellow in NY got 'radicalized'? How many MORE are out there BECAUSE nobody listens?
Here I sit, preaching against the toxic environment the self-interested have created for us and my reward has been silence.
Some of you are listening, and come 'crunch time' I hope what I have shared helps more than it hurts...but there is no way to know that.
Wisdom is a seldom sought commodity, one of little value when it is received but priceless once the tide turns...
Knowlege is power...use it 'wisely'.
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
