As I witness the utter ugliness of the Woke liberal policies, policies that are allowing young children to make life-altering health and medical decisions which I truly feel is utterly crazy, I watch criminals allowed to do as they please with no consequences. Obesity is accepted as fine and normal, history and free speech canceled, censored because of the perceived inappropriateness. It’s very difficult to understand how so many people see this and much more as good, and are allowing this to happen.
The United States is literally the best and worst of everything. The reason is that every ethnicity and religion, all peoples, have their strengths and weaknesses. The United States is the world’s largest melting pot of people. I actually heard that there are 80 different languages spoken in the Los Angeles basin and Queens, New York is the most diverse neighborhood on earth. So, the United States has all strengths and all weaknesses within its people. America has always led the way in democracy, equal rights, women’s rights, gay rights, religious freedom, innovation, and opportunity to name a few. Yet we also lead the developed world in wars, environmental destruction, corporate greed, crime, murder, and hypocrisy to name a few. See, the best and the worst!
Woke-ism is a combination of the best and worst. It’s good ideas! Gone too far!
Body image: Yes it’s true, fat shaming as well as any type of shaming is psychologically harmful to both the person doing the shaming and the person being shamed. Judging and criticizing someone without understanding the physical and psychological reasons for that person being the way they are is stupid. Yet, at the same time, reinforcing a delusional idea that there is anything healthy about being overweight, especially obese, is also stupid. Obesity was one of the largest factors in Covid being deadly. Not to mention a precursor for diabetes, heart disease, and at least a whole other paragraph of physical diseases and issues that are a byproduct of being overweight. We should not feel bad about who we are and how we look, yet we need to understand the harmful consequences of being and acting in an unhealthy manner. As in the quantity and quality of the food we eat!
Censorship may have a place in preventing terrorists from showing videos of captives getting their heads cut off, but it certainly doesn’t have a place in people expressing their political views, medical views, personal views, etc… The ability to freely express oneself is one of the things that makes the United States great! Just because you or one group doesn’t like what someone or another group is saying, doesn’t give them the right to cancel one another. This negates the free flow of ideas, concepts, and new thinking, as well as traditional ideas and concepts that may be beneficial. This is harmful to humanity! Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean that someone else doesn’t like it and it doesn’t negate their rights to it, just as someone else not liking something doesn’t mean that you don’t like it and it doesn’t negate your rights to it. Come on, this is commonsensical!
Crime: Having compassion for criminals is almost a prerequisite for real rehabilitation something that you will not find in our prison systems. Understanding the psychology of a criminal mind may help in healing and should be pursued. Poverty and mental disease are certainly factors that should be addressed and dealt with. But allowing criminals to wantonly vandalize and steal from innocent hard-working people is stupid and accomplishes nothing other than harming innocent people and incentivizing more criminals to commit crime. We have to put criminals in jail or something not because they don’t have a valid reason for being criminals (poverty or mental disease), but because we need to set the precedent that crime is not acceptable within the rule of law and be able to protect ourselves from crime.
Gender: Being loving and accepting of all people is the foundation stone of Christianity as well as yoga. Respecting and accepting someone’s sexual identity should not be any different than accepting and respecting any other of their character traits and choices. All of us are unique and all of us want to be loved, respected, and accepted by our community. If you’re a feminine man or a masculine woman so be it there should be no problem with that same as if you’re gay or straight, bisexual or trans. If you want to change your sex and you’re an adult and have studied all that that entails, the pluses and minuses of drugs and surgery then you have a right to change your sex. Yet this isn’t a decision for children. Do you let your child get a tattoo of a swastika just because they want it? Do you let your three-year-old walk a mile to the store all by themselves just because they want to? Would you let your six-year-old carry a loaded gun to school if they want? That actually happened and did not turn out too good. Parents as adults should understand that children don’t know what’s good for them if they did they wouldn’t need parents which is stupid.
Diversity and inclusion: This should be a cultural priority no doubt. Bigotry is a serious issue for any culture but especially a multi-ethnic culture like ours. Most likely each one of us knows someone and loves someone who would be hurt by racism, sexism, ageism, or any other type of bigotry. Yet excluding people of merit due to their race or age or sex or anything else is simply another type of bigotry and is a perverse interpretation of diversity. We want the best people for the job, not the best color or sex or age unless in the rare instance color, sex or age makes them the best person. For example, if I was hiring a bouncer for my strip club I would be biased towards someone who is very large and that is understandable which was why no one complains that only large intimidating-looking men are bouncers. You wouldn’t do a documentary on the Wright brothers the brothers who invented the airplane and make one of them a woman because you wanna support womens rights, would you? That’s stupid and dishonest. Let’s remember that men and women are equal but they are not the same and pretending they are the same is not only delusional it’s actually harmful. I read one study that says 80% of the women in the workforce would rather be at home with their families. My guess is 80% of young men want to go out and conquer the world so to speak. Again being equal does not mean being the same. Maybe it wasn’t sexism where women stayed home with the kids and family maybe it’s something else like biology which includes psychology. Women have certain biological strengths that men cannot compete with and men have certain biological strengths that women cannot compete with that’s why it’s stupid and unfair to let trans women compete against biological women. Let them have their own events and their own restrooms etc…. It’s a simple and fair solution that makes sense.
As our culture and humanity at large evolves, there will always be one group pushing the boundaries forward the liberals and within this group there will be groups, one that will be irrationally aggressive in the forward direction so much so that it’s no longer forward because it’s irrational, the far left. And there will be another group holding on tight to the way things were or are the conservatives and within this group there are groups and one of those groups will be irrationally holding on tight to outdated concepts and ideas, the far right. These groups are important to keep the center in check. So the far left is important as it’s constantly pushing forwards (innovation) and the far right is important because it applies the restraints necessary so the far left doesn’t push too far (stability) and what we get is called balance. Yet as our culture finds the balance it doesn’t always look pretty. The biggest issue most likely is the far right and the far left have the loudest voice now because of the internet and social media. This creates the illusion that they are in the majority of which they’re not. Yet because of the illusion that they are the majority the actual majority the center right and left become fearful of speaking out. When they do speak out they get canceled by the extremes which the center allows because they are afraid of speaking out about this for fear of being canceled as well. All we need to do is face our fears and speak out but since this is the hardest path and the path of true Christianity and yoga I guess an alternative for now is to show that this is the case and teach that this is the case so people can view social media and anything on the Internet with a different perspective in a different light.
