I think that perhaps we all need to check our current location and then allow reality to make note of it! Similar to the sites often requesting to know our location. However, there is a big, big difference. Whereas I know my physical location when online, be it Florida, NY or wherever, in the larger world, it is apparent that too many have lost their way and have no clue where they are.
A memory lapse, seemingly, as their trip through the rabbit hole has disappeared from any and all gray cells. Or perhaps it is that the gray cells are no longer there, certainly not in any proper working order. The answer is there, as to why we are in the morass of stupidity, cupidity, massive greed and power grabs, and "governed" by some of the, at the same time, most brainless creatures who can read the mob and instigate, provoke them into supporting wild, dangerous theories, shouting for 'freedom' even as they toss it away by the bucketful.
It is then that I am convinced that we all have fallen down that rabbit hole. Our 'wise' leaders are spouting words which have the same meaning and guidance as "Jabberwocky."
There have been efforts to parse these nonsense syllables and words, to attach them to the vocabulary and interpretations of the times, but I believe there is a different meaning for them. That meaning is the message in its entirety rather than in its vocabulary. That message warns us that what we think is real, what passes for literature, truth, trust, loyalty, any and all of the positive attributes of a sane and working society, is all false, part of the black hole of a doomed society that cannot recognize its own downfall, nor repair the damage.
On the other hand, perhaps these nonsense words are far better than the alternative - the baseless, hate filled, false words, themes, and destructive memes of damaged personalities. What else can we say to these words spouted by a Congresswoman? Read them and weep.
"Why is there a “target” on white supremacists? she asked in an interview ... with the right-wing outlet Real America’s Voice.
“White supremacy shouldn’t be the main target,” the lawmaker argued. “We should be more concerned about the illegal invasion at the border, the crime happening every single day on our streets, especially in cities like Chicago. We should go after criminals that break the law and not pursue people based on their skin color.”
Are we supposed to then evaluate murder, categorize them into okay and not, crime or not, according to race and motivation, which damned hatred impelled him to fulfill his extremely questionable contribution to society!? Apparently so, as per Greene. A most violent, perverted world down that rabbit hole. Unfortunately, the truth must be acknowledged.
We have not 'fallen' down any hole, but rather we have jumped willingly into an abyss which reeks of all the negative traits of humanity. It is a poisonous stew, its ingredients being hatred, murderous tendencies, false justifications. Those who have tasted, supped willingly, of that stew, are most insistent on dragging along the rest of the world, furthering the destruction of society as we now know it, as we hope it to be, as we work to make it so. And yet, the echoes - "Twas brillig" - resound.
The oldest elder of the Comanche Nation has just died. 104 years old. Think of what she has experienced. Think of the obstacles she had to overcome. Born in this country, she first had to be seven years old before allowed to become a citizen. Talk about the "Great Replacement Theory"!
What have we done? What are we continuing to do, to pursue? Avidly, with the drool of hatred dripping from the fangs of those who espouse poisonous beliefs and worse, snare and enmesh others into that same mode of thought and behavior. What have we done? What have we allowed? The question heard more and more - How has this happened?
It has happened because too many of us were asleep at the wheel. We laughed at the extreme traits, the nonsensical comments, the insane behavior, believing that no one could or would actually buy into it. No one would take their spews seriously. Yet, it all happened exactly that way. Good people, thinking people, put their thinking hats into deep storage, willingly looked away from the rabid extremes, choosing, picking, very carefully through the crap and ignored the rest. Unfortunately. Most unfortunately for all of us.
There was an error in their thought process. Once again, history, the lessons for us, were paid no never mind. Thinking - or not thinking it through - identical to those who disliked Hitler but thought there were some redeeming factors within his stance, thinking they could control him, found themselves morphing into willing accessories, cowed, frightened into justifying murder, looting, genocide, proponents of the worst that mankind could ever be.
Stupidity. Lack of follow through. Greed. The pull of the crowd. Fear. The ever-growing snowball of hate, blackened as it rolls down the mountain of dirt, of negativity, of dictatorship, of loss of all that mankind worked so hard to achieve - all crushed beneath that reeking snowball, crushing all before it, leaving havoc and destruction, blood, the wails of men, women and children behind.
Think it not so? Think we here in America are immune? Think somehow we can pull that damned rabbit out of a hat, hoist it out of that rabid rabbit hole? Think again. Worry instead. Be afraid. And ACT!!! Tomorow is primary day in many states. The choice is clear. While Democrats have some loonies amongst its ranks, the real danger is in the extreme views of the GOP, each candidate espousing more and more crazed viewpoints and beliefs, each vying to be the most extreme. Now is the time to do something.
Time to wake up. If we continue to sleep at the wheel, well, we all know what happens. The car will go offroad. The car will crash or roll down the mountain. The people within will be dead! All because we all slept at the wheel. At the wheels of so many, many vehicles. It all happened, happens now, and will do so into the dark and dim future.
All because we allowed it to do so.
