We never realized the role bullies and hazing provided society, or that rough housing is required for young boys to grow into strong men.
We never realized that our empathy was our greatest weakness when given to anyone who has none.
We never saw the problem of disintegrating communities that college causes when children leave their home town and never return.
We forgot how to band together and stand up for what we believe in, even if its just a moose lodge and an excuse to get drunk once a week with lodge buddies.
We never considered the consequences of connecting so many people together, or how few people it takes to throw a monkey wrench into anything and ruin it for everyone.
WE forgot that might makes right, and we don't have to argue with the left, or even speak to them to deal with them.
We are weak, and have forgotten what it takes to tame a wilderness, keep a community together, and know what prosperity looks like.
The piece i've been missing for years is wtf can i do to fix this? saying something is a problem may be the first step, suggesting a solution, then making it happen are the next two.
The simplified version of this is to roll back the clock and isolate communities from each other, no travel, no internet, no social media. Why this wont work is because there is money to be made in all 3 of those things, and once people have tasted each of these luxuries, they almost never give them up willingly.
The good that travel provides is fresh food from across the globe easy reach out and touch everything, travel that was once treacherous between towns is now trivial.
The good of the internet is the incomprehensibly broad knowledge base and entertainment contributed from across the globe. The bad part of this is how it is used for small minorities to band together and pick their targets of what to ruin.
Social media took what women naturally did, gossip, and enlarge the hen house to several million. As for good, it can provide photo storage so in case of a fire or total loss, old pictures can still be found even if everything else was lost.
social media allows connections not otherwise possible, fackbook reddit, voat, all the chans and small sites like this one. It allows everyone to back themselves into an echo chamber where the most extreme view becomes the loudest. We are selectively removing ourselves from what we consider negatives then trying to expand our echo chamber so no one else can experience anything we consider negative. The left is the current manifestation of this cost, even though a mirror on the right is possible, the left seems more complete and organized as to the targets they are ruining for everyone. The problem is this result is a natural extension of the simple desires to not hear bad things constantly, then not at all.
Society has accepted these benefits without adapting to the negative costs from using these benefits. I acknowledge my participation in this problem. I enjoy diving for info i would have never otherwise even heard of without it. travel means i can reach out for things i want to buy or have amazon ship them to me and remove most need to travel to buy things. Fresh fruit, bread, meat and milk are the exception and require a trip.
Every solution i contemplate keeps running in circles because no one will willingly give up what they have unless they are acquiring something better, even if they are having too much of a good thing.
Absolute violence is a solution. How to unify whites is the question.
