Chappy’s Blog August 21, 2022 “The Art of Hate”
The blogs that I write are largely based on social media content. All the views, and opinions on the various sites give me insight into what people are thinking about these days. The main theme seems to be the politics of the day as the main focus. Pro or con, the political rhetoric is upsetting to the masses, and it shows in the content that they post about. For many, it has evolved from civil opinion to something else. The opinion that is expressed is largely based on emotional outbursts of anger at someone or something that happens to be topical at the time. Over time, these opinions have grown beyond civil discourse, and into all out attacks on peoples character. Opinion has progressed into “The Art of Hate”.
In 2022, the hate factor has intensified to such a passionate crescendo that it is being used to control how we live. I pay close attention to social media, and to channels that broadcast what they call news. I pay particular attention to the politics of the day, as politicians become more corrupt as their grab for power grows. The corruption has entered into the halls of every institution that exists.
Hate has existed since Cain and Abel. Hate manifests itself in many different forms. Intense dislike for someone or strong envy of another create emotions of hate. While the hate phenomenon is not new, the way it is being used today to control people is just pure evil. Emotions stirred, people act out on mass over inequalities that have been deemed harmful by special interest groups of people whose only concern is their own self-interests. Individual thought is not allowed, people are shouted down or worse, reasoning begone! Hate has become an art !
Had a conversation recently with a Biden or Trump hater lately ? The first thing that is clear is the extreme hate exhibited, and second, what may not be as clear is, that we have been divided by this extreme. I avoid having a conversation with certain people, as it troubles me that people can no longer control their emotions. When I ask what exactly are they talking about, it usually turns into a character attack. That is the only ammunition that they have, and it is laced with a hate that seems unnatural. The future of our peaceful existence is unsure, and I fear for my family and country (world). Think of the many “causes” in our country, and then think about the groups that are pushing these causes. How many of these groups have wrecked many parts of our country, causing injury, property damage, and especially psychological damage to the people experiencing the chaos firsthand. In the end, this extreme hate affects us all !
The chief dividing tool being used today is envy, and inequality. Tell a lie often enough, and eventually many uniformed people will believe the lie, and with some prodding, will act out on it. White people are being attacked by other white people by the use of this tactic. Why ? Because they are perceived to have all the money and the power. For this reason, they are to be nullified. Ask yourself, why do white people want to nullify themselves ? Is it because they envy those that have, and they want to be the ones that have it all. The result of all this envy is that we hear hate talk about the billionaires and millionaires, and how their greed is hurting the poor. This evil false narrative conveniently leaves out the part that without these successful people, much of our economy would not exist. As for inequality, the police are the target of hate talk, and in many cities their presence is not wanted. Hate has caused many attacks on police officers, (law enforcement) with many fatalities. The police are human just like you and me. We cannot hold them all accountable for the few that break the law or that break police procedure. This hate is paying reverse dividends in cities and towns across our country. With police curtailed, crime is out of control, which means that hate used effectively by evil people is winning the day.
I write this blog today because I want you to think about the damage that is being done in the name of control. Hate is being used to run your life and mine. The anger that is created is causing normal level headed people to hate, and act out in abnormal ways. The pages of the social media channels are full of hate filled rhetoric about this or that. (To be fair, there are many other subscribers that prefer their page to be neutral and passive in nature). News media channels focus on political thought, pro or con, which lends itself to anger or joy depending on whom or what they favor. The danger in unabated hate and anger is the eventual conflict of two sides unwilling to compromise. Our country will be no more !
The consequence could be that the government will impose civil controls over us, and implement curfews and the like. This notion that I am suggesting is not too far fetched. Am I stating that Martial Law is imminent ? No, I am not saying that ! What I am saying is that we need to control our anger, and work out an accord with one another. The consequences of doing nothing could be dire. It’s never too late. This nation that used to lead the way, has allowed hate and anger to be its dark beacon. Our light that is slowly being extinguished by hate, can be relit only if we remember who we are. Individual thought should be shared and applauded, as we all gather together to reach a mutual compromise. That is who we used to be !
America is a promise. We are still free to chose the right way…Let’s not squander It !
Note: As always, I see things from my family’s perspective. Their future in this country is paramount to me. Please think about things from that perspective, and what the future holds for your family.
