I have a fairly good idea of what’s going on, but those of us who learn from history are condemned to repeat history, because we’re vastly outnumbered by those who don’t learn from history.
I know the feeling. Seeing ads for a movie with a singing chimpanzee, looked it up. Bio-pic musical of the life of Brit pop singer Robbie Williams (never heard of him), except played by a chimp because “he always felt less evolved than other people.” OK… Perfect analogy for our times.
We know what’s going on. A lot of stupid out there; a lot. ‘Woke’ is an ancient Sumerian word meaning vapid, without substance, free of any logic, and without underpinning facts (see any utterance by Alexandria O. Cortez). The recent election however shows that an increasing number of people have had enough of stupid.
My mom was a major influence on me. She was the calm, rational one. My dad was the emotional one. Admittedly it meant I would never become the alpha male even if I were the only male, but it worked out ok.

I miss the days when we believed the internet would help us get a better idea of what the hell is going on.

While sometimes masculinity has been over-rated, today masculinity is often over-blamed (scapegoated), and toxic masculinity is over-hyped.

Maybe fracking has punctured the ceiling of Hades, and toxic hellish chaos has steadily wafted through the fissures. :/

i hear “woke” is going broke, now. DEI is dying a quiet death, as well.

Thank you, Jimmy Carter, for your one final service to humanity in pushing Disaster Pumpkin out of the headlines for at least one day!

We are currently split into 2 groups of people – those who believe the MSM unquestioningly and those with enough historical sense to know better.

The problem isn’t masculinity, the problem is all the idiots who think it’s “masculine” to behave like a total a-hole.

The questions one could ask are:
1. What the heaven is going down for a change?
2. What the purgatory is taking off again?
3. What the turnstile is going around these days?
Complacency often leads to redundancy.
