From the mind of critic: “If the opposite of fascistic double speak is democratic truth defended by enternally courageous vigilance, why do we roll over due to the volume of blind faith we’ve consumed? Is it out of tiredness because of all the consciousness we’ve espoused and expressed, that we take breaks from critical thinking when listening or watching a point of view we agree with? Or are we so anxious to succeed because of our supposed enemies defenses, that we’re looking for any advantage we can get, even if that means we start conserving our energy for other uses, and tune out? There are many of us who actually pay attention, who actually ask questions and who actually care about other people and the world around us no matter what side of the political, religous, philisophical or financial spectrum we find ourselves on. We all want to make a better world, but refuse on a constant basis to see the truth that will steadfastly unite us. Maybe we’re scared of letrting down our peers with opinions, that aren’t as generationally inbedded as theirs. Maybe we have low self esteem, and don’t feel confident enough to stand up to the other side, let alone to our own side. Maybe we aren’t ready to have our world flipped upside down. Once we realize that losing our humanity means losing our critical thinking skills, we’ll see that taking better care of the well off than we take care of the downtrodden, will lead us all to ruin, specifically because the grass is always greener on the other side, no matter what fertilizer we use on ours. If we want to get rid of waste and fraud we must get rid of it on all levels, or we haven’t gotten rid of any. Calling all democratic truth seekers, are we willing to admit what has kept us at each other’s throats, so we can unite and take on our true enemy? Are we ready to get over ourselves? 🙂
