Differing Opinons are now "bullying" in 2024
Greetings and salutations (again, if applicable) dear Reader, and welcome (back?) to this obscure American blog. I missed taking photos of today's sunrise because Freedom Turtle woke up and had a morning bath (and I don't like to rush him). 💖🐢😍
Anyway! Damn, is it just me, or is literally everyone on the planet now so thin skinned that no one can say anything any more?! I mean honestly, when did grown adults lose the ability to withstand a difference of opinion even if strongly stated? Now, yes, saying this now I am thinking of one specific recent exchange with some stranger I'll never meet or know in real life. But in general, don't you find this to be true? This phenomenon is representative of the demise of our American culture: there's pretty much no such thing as stand-up comedy any more (comedians used to have the job of making us laugh while making fun of ALL of us, no one was off-limits). Also: the media is now being paid to spread the idea that words are "dangerous" and here I'm not talking about words that constitute death threats, etc, no: they are trying to sell us the idea that words that do not agree with their agendas are dangerous; we used to call this concept "freedom of speech and thought".
Here, listen to what the late, great George Carlin had to say about American stupidity in general (and it's funny):
