Oddbean new post about login | logout Yep, that does seem strange if true. However the current trend in media is to constantly push trans issues so it does constantly highlight a very minority issue into something way bigger than necessary. Who’d have thought eh ?! More divisive coverage to further divide people 🤷♂️
Or, people could stop persecuting minorities and just let others live their lives without fear and hate.
100% that for sure. That is basic behaviour. Was referring to the obvious agenda to divide which also doesn’t help what you’re suggesting
I don’t agree that there is an “obvious agenda to divide,” more like an obvious prejudice to overcome. There’s too much victim-blaming. (The majority is not the victim.)
Fair enough. I disagree though. Trans issues have been blown out of proportion. It, along with many minority issues, is being used to play people of each other imo. The State doesn’t care, they just want division and distraction to enable their agendas to go through unabated. So much friction right now. Why? Because basic human rights are being scraped behind the scenes to facilitate the ‘Reset’
I agree the media (and by extension social media) does a very bad job at discussing this and it pushes people to the extremes because division generates more advertising revenue. And you’re also not wrong about basic human rights. I just want to see everyone treated with respect for who they are or choose to be.
Sure. 100% agree with you on respect. Choosing something to be and expecting everyone to play along is a deeper question. Just because i may say i wish to be a woman does not equate with my wife feeling comfortable with me using her changing room, playing in her sport team, saying i want all things female to be now called names with no female reference. That is disrespectful to real women. Respect needs to be earned. This is where division occurs and more problems arise. It’s not an easy thing. 🤷♂️ my daughter told us categorically she was gay. Now she’s dating guys. It was a phase. There is too much media BS pushing agendas. All of my life i have had gay friends, cross dressing friends etc. Never have i disrespected them. The current era is very unsettling as it’s driving people apart not together.
All through the 80s AIDs was a huge social issue. That was an all out attack on gay people. Guess who was deeply involved. Fauci, and here he was again recently. Experimenting on people, media companies experimenting on people, a never ending push to keep people distracted, marginalised, subservient while pretending they’re being supported. I don’t believe it all sorry. The State does not want you, I or any group empowered. Far from it. They play collectivist games while stealing all your energy and time.
The fundamental issue is people are naturally kind and tolerant. The State sells fear and chaos through their media BS. The same with money. People believe they need the States they’re so used to being told they can’t cope. The banks should never have been bailed out. They should have failed because they were corrupt. Bitcoin was never bailed out, it is resilient through people power. The sooner we all realise we are powerful the sooner real tolerance, peace and prosperity returns
Thanks for listening, I’m here all week 😂
