There are several reasons. Primarily because those I desperately want to reach on both sides really don't care and won't listen or think. They have voluntarily entrenched themselves and will fight to the death any attempts to challenge them. With extreme ideologues, their ideology is their identity.
I find Violent threats and outbursts pleasant only in person, face to face with medieval tools of mayhem. Creating Jackson Pollack pastiche art is entertaining. Online outrage is just pointless and pathetic.
Those that do pay attention , agree and understand. So I am preaching to the choir. Even when we disagree with the political solutions, we have common ground in that we both have eyes that see. We can see the problem, and recognize the stench.
Here's the thing. My message is always the same.
Honor, Integrity in all things.
Those with neither know they have neither.
My secondary message is;
Don't empower narcissistic abusers.
That incites narcissistic rage and makes flying monkeys fling feces.
Both are pointless.
Narcissists know they are deluded, their system of self requires consciously gaslighting themselves.
Flying monkeys are aware also. They are cowards hanging onto coattails of the delusions of Grandeur begging for crumbs of wonder.
So, I endlessly repeat myself.
The reactions are the same day in day out.
For four decades I held hope that something new and exciting would happen. That those I desperately want to reach, not to get them to agree with my politics, rather, to engage in honest discussion. To actually break out of their self imposed prison and defiantly think for themselves.
Unfortunately, evils meat puppets choose to be evils meat puppets.
Sigh.
So, my hope is not dead.
Merely bored.
The circus music is still playing.
Clown cars keep regurgitating corrupt politicians. And people keep cheering.
The world burns, we never seem to learn.
