It’s really hard to find a side in modern society that I want anything to do with. Every side of any size sucks and I want nothing to do with any of it, yet mostly, we’re expected to embrace the suckage and pick a side and I really refuse to do so.
I run into this a lot and I have no clue what the hell is wrong with people today. Why do people spend so much of their time online desperately searching for personal validation from complete strangers?
I just finished up making a video where this came up, and therein, I said I wasn’t going to go into it because it was going too far afield. Therefore, I figured before that came out, sometime at the tail end of January, I figure, I’d post my thoughts here on the blog for all to see.
I just keep running into these things and it’s bizarre how people can’t see that their own side is doing all of this too. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about the left, whining about the right or vice versa, both extremes are doing the same damn thing and can’t see what they’re doing in the mirror.
I wound up in a discussion with a leftist today on racism. Well, it drifted a little to take in all of the classic “isms” that the left hates. I decided it was about time to blow his mind, especially since things weren’t going anywhere useful.
We’ve been having a long, long discussion in a thread titled “Does today’s generation “see/understand” TV and movies differently?” and it’s not going well for the young. It started off simply enough, as I’ll explain below the fold and then it devolved into dumb kids without the basic understanding of reality that anyone pretending to be an adult ought to have.
There’s a story going around out there, something about a school where one kid identified as non-binary and requested that everyone use “they/them” pronouns and when some kids refused to comply, people started talking about filing charges.
I just got finished having a discussion from someone who, in their own words, is “neuro-atypical”. He was complaining that it’s really hard to live in a world where he can’t do what he wants to do because he’s incapable.
I certainly can sympathize with that, there are plenty of things that I’d love to do that I can’t. Unfortunately, sometimes that’s life and you need to have realistic expectations and, sadly, this guy simply didn’t. Continue reading I Don’t Care if You’re Atypical!→
This has come up several times in recent weeks for obvious reasons and I’ve been hesitant to talk about it over on YouTube. In fact, I specifically asked Patreon backers if I should talk about politics and social issues on the channel and almost universally, I was told no.
So there was another call on the Atheist Experience that, once again, shows just how bizarre the conversation is becoming these days.
Honestly, why are they pushing a political agenda on the show? Because, I suspect, Matt needs to in order to keep his girlfriend happy. There’s a political agenda written all over it and that’s just dumb. Continue reading Hypocrisy Once Again→
