Yes, apparently 'fetch', birthed in the movie "Mean Girls" is the go-to word of the day. Just so 'cool', so attractive and cutting edge. Certainly, that is so among the progressive idiots standing and chanting for their own deaths, their own negation and degradation, a loss of validity and humanity.
This is what happens when idiots choose to remain juvenile while playing in a very adult world. This is what happens when the individual submits to the mob and becomes one with it. Any individual thoughts, behavior and morals become subservient to those of the mob, itself run either by a steering committee of nefarious adults with their own agenda, or an individual with deep pockets and twisted mind.
Goals, chants, instructions to verbal fighting and even training in combat are conveyed to the mob by so called "leaders" oh so impressed by themselves, daily, even hourly, as needed, and the fun of violence, of destruction, condoned implicitly and complicitly by those in positions of authority, commences, buoyed by the enthusiasm of the morons of the mob. Such fun! As dogs do with masters, they obey the push of the proverbial button, the word of command and activity desired, complete with the regulated selfies to be sent to parents. Then, sent into the front lines of combat, as their 'leaders' remain behind, safely ensconced out of harm's way. Just like the leaders of Hamas who live in luxurious hideaways in lands of sympathetic rulers or within their tunnels.
The gullibility of these morons is deep, overcoming any sense or instinct of self-preservation. They cede control of themselves to these flawed leaders who have prepared quite well for the battles to come. Material to construct thick blockade walls, materiel for encampments, even stockpiles of paper, paint, posters, food for all dietary needs and copies of chants and timing, of demands to be sent out, as the thrill of dictating to adults is just so enthralling and empowering. Keffiyehs and Hamas headbands and facemasks well stocked for those without. As a result - the "dogs of war" have been let loose, to wreak damage and havoc as best they can.
Presently we are way past first level protest. We are well advanced into the second, third, fourth levels as the violence grows in numbers and intensity. Pitched battles. The stooges fight for the goals of others who have no regard for them other than as the necessary disposable fodder for their cannons, seeing themselves as the brave students of Les Miz- which they are most definitely not!
As gullible as they are, they must be held accountable for their actions. They must pay the piper. They must accept the consequences of their misdeeds and crooked paths. They chose, their responsibility. They must accept ownership of their deeds. They have played on the fields of adults, stepped on mines aplenty and blown up their present worlds along with their future ones.
That is the reality of things - if, only if, the adult world does its job, tough as it will be, and imposes the necessary consequential penalties, from suspension and expulsion to withdrawal of offers, of jobs lost, of opportunities shredded. Harsh. Severe. Necessary nonetheless if we are to send a clear message to those coming along, to know, understand, that borders of acceptability are not to be violated. Yes, to freedom of speech, but not to chants calling for the overthrow of the nation or chants urging hate and extermination of a group of people. For whatever reason. No to calls for violence. Societal changes might be necessary, but there are channels and processes in place, learned and designed by and from experience. Those coming along must know and heed these lessons.
That is truly a good 'fetch'.
Lessons are hard learned. They are often ignored, much to our detriment. Attention must be paid to the warnings that we are given. When and where are the danger zones? Is there ice on the road? Slippery slopes? Are there sharp turns and possibilities of flooding and avalanche. Without understanding and preparation for the hazards ahead we will kill the patient in the course of treatment. This cannot, must not, be.
Difficult as it is, as it will be, to change society, we must learn patience. Sudden extremes tend to widen the cracks and even create new ones. Only with wise heads and willingness and ability to talk, to compromise, to prioritize the needs of society over their own, can we walk forth together, as a united humanity. Pipe dream? Maybe. Probably.
However, in the rather challenging harsh, frightening world of today, with an oversupply of dangerous, selfish leaders in place, with the resurgence of violence and hate, we must do better, or we will be denied the opportunity to indeed do better. Without an inherent and instinctive grasp that society's underpinnings must be strong, with points of commonality for all of humanity, attempts of positive change will be for naught, futile.
There is so much to look forward to achieving. To make life better, more rewarding, more opportunities to dream successfully, to eliminate the scourges of famine, disease, lack of clean water, and homelessness. To conquer hopelessness. To make obsolete murder and mayhem and shut down the spewers and fomenters of hate and violence.
We can do it. Steps to do so have been taken albeit the pace should be faster, but sensibly so. We must decide within ourselves that we wish to continue to do so, can do so - if we decide to truly make it so.
Only. If. We. Make. It. So.

Yitzy, we continue to miss you so. We page the albums of print pictures. We scroll through them online. We smile. We laugh. We cry. It is good that we have the pictures though it is no substitute for the real deal. Never.
We love you -
always and forever. Always and forever.
