The 'Far' mentalities, Left or Right, it's all the same, are aberrations in human evolution.

It's customary to assign titles to different periods of human history based on the most popular, new thing in society. Which isn't how people look at this stuff, but that's exactly what it is. Jazz age? Not without Jazz. Information age? Not without information. Then there's the coal age. Diesel age. You get the point. All these things are named after a primary interest in society. And for the last two decades people have been saying the 2000's haven't stood for anything. Well, that's bullshit they want you to believe. The 2000's have 100% been the bullshit age, the age of hype, aka, The Hype Age.

Everyone remembers Bush Jr. right? WMDs? Saddam being chased down and shot in a hole like a dog after we supported him for decades? That Bush. Anyway, those WMDs never existed. It's not that they didn't exist a little, they flat out didn't exist and everything him and his 'advisors' said was garbage lies. Those lies resulted in billions of US taxpayer money being used to destroy what little Iraq had at that point so we could hand the 'rebuilding' jobs to US contractors that took the money and ran. We could also argue that those garbage lies directly put us on the current paths we are on both inside and outside our borders. That's when something appears to have snapped in DC.

Then we all remember Obama, right? 'You want change and I'm going to give it to you' and all that complete bullshit that he said just to get elected? And what did he do? Not much of anything, except start that Affordable Healthcare Act that has without a doubt killed and made destitute at least one person for each 'helped'. I know. I worked in it for 5 years and had to tell people ripped off by insurance brokers: 'Yeah, you owe the IRS $15,000 for the tax credit you shouldn't have gotten because you 'signed' the app or authorized someone to sign it for you and the disclaimer states that any issues with the information is yours and only yours. Anything else?' Have that conversation a few times a day and you'll see what kind of see through, spineless whelps the current generation of bullshitters are. At any rate, Obama scammed everyone. He sold them the concept of 'change' and got elected on it. He also sent millions in arms and equipment to Syria and Iraq that ended up in the hands of ISIL, or whatever you choose to call those head choppers.

And let's step out of politics for a second and look at tech. Musk. Elon Fucking Musk. I've been telling people for at least a couple years that this man is a scammer, and what's happening? None of you got the 'autopilot' he fraudulently sold to people, his company is crashing, and you won't be able to maintain those expensive paper weights you bought from him when that happens because no one else makes the parts. This man is the walking talking definition of nonsense hype getting someone way farther than it ever should have. How EVs are as a whole is another whole issue. They're garbage vehicles that have all the utility of a H1 Hummer with flat tires. This is supported by the industry themselves by their comical production of an EV Hummer, which is without a doubt the most expensive, useless POS the auto industry has produced in the last century.

Crypto is the same type of thing. The Crypto coin industry is full of thieves, liars, and scoundrels. We have seen this repeatedly just this year and untold BILLIONS have been lost due to this activity. They hype people up, get people to invest, then steal their money. Or better yet, they say they're backed up with capital and most of that 'capital' is just other Crypto coins like what's happening with Crypto dot com. Crypto cannot be backed up with Crypto because that's a straight up scam and is felling these people like trees under a chainsaw as coin prices crash and the 'reserves' crash with whatever they're trying to prop up. Crypto seems to have started off with at least an idea, and there are a handful of solid players that (so far) seem trustworthy. But those ideas have degenerated into hyped up garbage products like Dogecoin, Shiba, NFTs, and Metaverse anything.

And then Trump. I voted for this man the first time because Hillary called us all deployables and, well, good luck if you do that to the middle, because we're coming for you over it. And Biden. This senile man who can't even have a meeting without causing bad headlines for a week scammed millions of people out of their votes AFTER locking down and destroying the parts of our economy that Trump didn't sanction off. You believed the hype spewed by these two garbage political parties that supported these two men if you believed that either of these men would do something other than they did. Hope itself is being used against us by the establishment and they know that, because it's purposeful. And the hype has worked to cover stuff up. There's literally people who are just now this year finding out that a third building went down with the World Trade Centers. 21 years after it happened, people are still finding out they knew nothing about what actually happened. All I have to say about that is...wow. I watched that shit go down on live TV, folks. I've known since day one that there was a third building and what was in it (financial records). Then people got all hyped up over those student loan payments in the last few weeks...and got scammed, right before the holidays, and the loan repayments are due to restart in January and they've been talking about the election for a week like it's a Superbowl game. So everyone is still being scammed by the hype as I type this.

The interesting thing is that the hype age appears to be coming to an end right about when we realize it existed. This has been going on since at least Bush Jr. Twenty years. That's the average lifespan of such social movements. So if you realize that the last twenty years were hyped up garbage, you have an idea of what's next: all the hype and economic bubbles are about to crash down and be ground to dust by the truth and math. This is the 'recession' that is coming that people say isn't going to be a recession. And those people are correct. It won't be. We have a society shifting revolution on the order of the 60's coming. Maybe it'll be the Age of Truth. Maybe it'll be the Age of Atonement. Let's hope it's not the Age of Civil Wars, which is where this is going if real changes in society are not caused in any other way. We are a society. Society functions because people cooperate even if they don't like each other. The 'Far' mentalities, Left or Right, it's all the same, are aberrations in human evolution. These ways of thought do not cooperate with others, and oftentimes not even with each other. Therefore, these ways of thought have never got human society anywhere. Allowing anything to continue that continues to feed the Left/Right divide is to flirt with disaster because such mindsets can't maintain the gears of society and all of it was created and is being maintained by nothing but hype. It's time to pull the rug out of under all this before these competing, suicidal ideologies and technologies cause more trouble than we can fix.

Very thoughtful and true to a fault. But hype has been around for a long time. Land developers enticing poor people in Europe to come to United States to their fabulous cities in the West only to find slave wages and miserable work on farms or in factories. It wasn't very long after that PT Barnum, the prototype for the Donald, declared, "There's a sucker born every minute." There still is.

Medicines like cocaine and marijuana sold over-the-counter as cures. Back in the happy days of the 1950s you could cure your tired blood with Geritol (rhymes with alcohol) and your liver with Carter's Little Liver Pills. Peach pit therapy cured cancer. Lobotomies cured mental illness. Ronald Reagan was promoting smoking as a healthy thing to do. All the Jewish people in Hollywood were communists. We were all told that we had to stop communism from creeping into Vietnam by drafting our young men to save the day, "over there." Ronald Reagan hosted General Electric's Theater… "Progress is our most important product." Why did they stop using as a slogan? Too progressive?

We are in an information age now where information is at everyone's fingertips who holds a cell phone in their hands. Information is coming at us fast and furious. Like you, I stay in the middle and try not to join even though everyone wants me to "register," so I can get more of their particular hype that is always better than the other guys'. A lot of stupid AI salesmanship in our face. And more trickery and thievery than ever before.

I have to believe that people are still kind and good and wanting to do the right thing. We Americans with our supposed freedom seem to have to have something really drastic for us to all get together, cooperate and solve a problem without wandering off the need at hand. It will take more disasters like 9/11 and Covid-19 before we wake up and fly right. Let us just hope that is not too late and we stand on the edge and watch ecosystems fail in our lifeblood, our planet rebel to our behavior.
