An old news story in today’s world, but when the Peter
Strzok stories started hitting the internet I noticed a distinct pattern in the
comments sections. I have noticed this before, yet this was very pronounced for
these stories. The comment sections were owned by one side of the political
spectrum for each story. The vast majority of the comments for each story
either were attacking Mr. Strzok or defending him. There was no back and forth
of facts or even an equal amount of commentary. Each story’s comments were
cherry-picking commentary that was critical of the other side with little
counter discussion. It seems there is so much antagonism in this country we no
longer argue with each other. We just sit on our side of the fence basking in
how much we are better than the other side. And I know the comments sections are
heavily populated by people with their own agendas etc.. but up until sometime
after 2012 you had mostly good counter punching with the occasional name
calling. Now it is just who gets to the story first and fills it with their
“opinion” and seriously juvenile name calling. Hopefully, most Americans have
not fallen down this pit of hell.
As most of the regular readers know every now and then my
brain becomes deranged and I slip into a horrible world of circling and
escalating fear. I call these the “paranoid posts” I think I have sunk to a new
low. I am now worried Trump and Putin are going to come together to hold the
rest of the world under a nuclear hostage. Bad enough there aren’t going to be
too many aids etc involved in the direct conversations with each other or any
from what I read in one article, but what on God’s green Earth could they talk
about in this situation. Nothing good is going to come from this meeting for
everyone except for those two. Fear clogs my synopsis channels this weekend. I
hope you are doing better.
Here is an interesting article:
Looking forward to the World Cup this weekend, but does
anyone give Croatia a chance?
