Odd thing I notice - those or preach free speech the loudest are those most likely to silence those who say things they don’t like or defend those who do.

There must be a world when the politicians act do not use social media like this or have their own podcast. Behave as though you are a leader setting an example for many and who is being watched around the world. Is this too much to ask?

I disagree - distracting them with so much information they don’t know what to think. Or better yet, removing their ability to think by dumbing so many things down and entertaining them. Do that and you no longer need to control speech. What do sheep need speech for?

Some men look out into the night and see only dark; others see moonlight and stars and fireflies; and they hail the promise of the dawn.

So all of our leaders are going to continue to not only not apologize but refuse to tone down the rhetoric. Instead they blame that other side and continue to make things worse. One day I hope all of them on all sides reap what they sow and see the fruits of their labors.

Trouble is that those good people are not united together for one cause as the bad people are so it blunts their efforts and is one of the reasons the bad end up dominating to an extent.

"One wonders whether a generation that demands instant satisfaction of all its needs and instant solution of the world's problems will produce anything of lasting value. Such a generation, even when equipped with the most modern technology, will be essentially primitive - it will…

No knock on this account which I like but....people miss the point of this in relation to our times. Many of us deny truths and deny that 2+2=4 because it may go against our side or our cherished beliefs. What is dangerous is we are all becoming O'Brien's.

I listened to the first 30 minutes of JD Vance hosting Charlie Kirk's show today. Vance is very invested in selling political violence and extreme rhetoric as a left wing problem. The data doesn't bear that out. This is not a party problem. It's an American problem.

Its too bad someone so intelligent cannot read a comment for what it is and that the comment is part of a growing chorus of people of all stripes around the world speaking about the harm of social media. And, that this does not mean necessarily mean censorship.

Well said, except people (sane) turn to violence when they see no other way to solve problems. Today, our leaders are unable to solve the hard problems so things just get worse. We must go to the root and that is our leadership class failing. cnn.com/2025/09/12/pol…

Just as I posted a little more than a week ago. The difference now is that we do not have the societal glue of norms, mores and shared values that we once had that enabled us to withstand upheavals.

I am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away; but with Blood. Today this is true again and for the same reasons. We have kicked a can down the road again and again. We failed to nip things in the bud and now a terrible calamity will come.
