Issues of today.
5 years ago
I don't write journals usually, but I do want to get this off of my chest, since it's weighing down heavily.
There are issues in the world today, which are specific to some countries, but are spreading globally because of the huge reach of the internet. People are yelling at everyone, and getting political over everything. It's an issue with both sides of the political debate, but the screeching is causing everyone to get tangled up, and if you're not supporting one side, then you are against them. This whole political thing is dividing people, and sending everyone into a phase of being rabid dogs.
People are getting caught and cancelled left right and center for opinions, since those opinions do not match the one narrative that is being yelled about the loudest, but the minority of people. Problem is, those people yelling to cancel the other, will never do business or support your platforms. They are yelling, because they are told to yell and conditioned to, not because they worry over something somewhere.
You've got one side being punished, while the other is being set free to break the laws, allowed to use violence, to remove the others for simply their opinion. When a platform becomes politically charged like that, it becomes an echo chamber. All those people getting removed for something they may have said somewhere, out of context, to a group of their own friends, is not worth being removed from a platform for. Trust me when I say this, this is a rocky slope, and you're already rolling down that slope to global censorship and a one-narrative policing. And then the pendilum will swing the other way, and then back, and forth, and back and forth. It will divide everyone for a long time if the cycle isn't stopped.
Two parties will have two platforms, they will never talk, they will radicalize themselves even further, since one will actively push the other out of it's community, thus reinforcing what may have been a joke, as the truth. But, and this is a huge thing that everyone isn't thinking about. One side will be silent, one side will not stoop to the other's tactics.... and that side will eventually just swing back at the other. Everyone is going to get hurt over some ideological zealosy, and I hate to see that it is starting to happen on FA and Telegram, with global black lists that have been backed by one side, and attacking platforms who have any of those people in them, without any sort of verification on what is said and done.
Anyone can create a list, but if you've got an army that yells about it, it's going to go somewhere, for no other reason other than "We deem him bad in our opinion, for his opinions.
I will never support anyone who screeches without any evidence, and does not want to listen to any opposing opinions. Think for yourself, not blindly follow in a mob.
