I disagree. With both our eloquent wings we shall reach new unseen heights … just not Icarus level I hope ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Some people just fear what they don’t understand or if they think believe it’s going to turn their world (job/ scary propaganda, or even shift global economics to (more) scary scenarios. Sensationalized headlines and click bait titles make it all that much worse. It’s hard to have an open conversation about any subject if all participants have not agreed to hear the facts and have a honest dialogue.

“If someone got to their viewpoint without using reason, there is no reason that you yourself can’t use to change their stance.”

I try to remember that, but honestly I do let my passion for the subject I’m trying to convey overriding it more than often haha. You'll find people who see what you see and for the others that black you? It just saved you the time and energy you would have spent on them for someone that will appreciate your effort.

This could explain so much about the geopolitical situations we find ourselves in

Birds of a feather flock together! :)

Joking aside thank you for your kind words as well. I hope you have a wonderful day yourself and if you can’t today I hope you at the very least find respite in the future from the storms that existence seems to haphazardly throw our way.

Truth. It is a benefit, just not one that pertains to you or others that in those categories

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

“It is what is it is” is such a go to automatic response that I’m working on getting past

I mean if the people in charge aren’t trying to save us … guess we will have to one way or the other

Americans Have been fed propaganda for years through Fox News and the buying up of News media outlets, including social media, and not to mention Rupert Murdoch Empire. Education and intellectualism Have been demonize by the right and so now what we have is an uneducated populous that lacks critical thinking and just regurgitates what they “Political team” says. I say this is an American We are fighting the best we can but regulatory capture has taken over most if not all of governmental services and judicial processes. I’m sorry, and those words don’t seem enough to carry the magnitude of what your country is facing because of my countrys dismantling of our democracy.

Trump and Elon DOGE are going to after NoAA hard as it doesn’t align with their denial and lies of climate change that they fed for years through “entertainment news”
