Overcompensation Part 2

Amazingly, those of is in the United States are approaching another July 4th holiday.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for people to overcompensate because things have gotten totally out of control.

Naturally, the take your side on which football team is going to win without acceptance has co-opted “1776” to mean nothing short of, “I’m a real American, a true patriot.  You are less than human and utterly wrong.”  Naturally, a huge display of projection.  By default, if I’m the real patriot, you, the enemy are not.  Even watching the musical 1776 with some critical thinking skills (although distracting because it’s very entertaining) you get the sense of some important social commentary about what is going on in the world at the time.

1). There’s little choice but to overcompensate because arguing about revolution directly with Britain wasn’t getting anywhere.  Armed conflict has never been a productive use of resources in the short term.

2). These people, just like the major characters in Deep Space Nine, don’t actually like each other much.

3). But they put aside those differences, cooperated, and got the fucking job done.

Don’t be naive enough to think that these issues are new, or isolated to any single group of peoples.  Humans have a remarkable capacity to devolve into hatred at the drop of a pin.  We have a remarkable capacity remain biased.  We have a remarkable capacity to get stuck in an overcompensation feedback loop.  Side A in charge now, time to undo the damage from side B.  Side B in charge, do the same to side A.  Keep flipping the overcompensation regarding the other side’s bad ideas with no progress being made.  There’s always something genuinely wrong with the other side.  There’s always something genuinely wrong with your side.  Everyone has dirty secrets; a skeleton in the closet.

The way to tell the difference in effective leadership is how they treat their trusted advisers who promote good ideas and how they have a capacity to cooperate with the other sides good ideas - to get the fucking job done.

Gematria is as far away from a real conspiracy as you can get.  Joining a sports gematria Patreon doesn’t make you cool, edgy, intelligent our politically savvy.  If you are dead set on believing what you want to believe despite a narrative for both teams, you haven’t gained anything.

Based on gematria decodes, every person that is alive now, ever lived in the past, or will live in the future is anything you want them to be. 

Your decode hasn't done anything to change the facts.  Facts don’t care about your hatred, bigotry or your money.

You can do routine maintenance on the bridge, suffer the overcompensation consequences making expensive repairs without prior upkeep, or just wait till the damn thing falls down and decide to rebuild it or live without it.  I will argue to the end that those that wrote the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution did foresee changes would be necessary and built mechanisms (Amendments) into the mix, but there’s no way that they saw how fast technological progress outstrips the social aspects.  Now the nostalgia of past glory makes you a patriot today?  That’s bullshit.  If you can’t get along with other people based on facts, you wouldn’t know true patriotism if it bit you in the ass.

Gematria clowns are part of the true group of sheeple.  Not the ones they psychologically project as sheeple.  They are the ones promoting the short term money grab bad ideas.  Politically not savvy at all, adding an uneducated voice to the discourse.  Instead of paying a gematria guru for sports gambling advice, they are paying for the gematria leader angry rants, loving how they mouth off at the chosen enemy of the day.  Easily manipulated and gullible.  Not a single empirical fact to back them up.

Elect your leaders, from either side, based on who lies less - the lesser of two evils, is the same as repairing the bridge.  The overcompensation of when the bridge collapses is extreme.  Maybe let some lunatic convince you to overthrow the government, and inevitably get back to being unhappy since there are problems everywhere.  Or, you could go with the more cooperative side and maybe look into some actual, effective constitutional amendments getting written in.  In the meantime, at least get to the point that allowing non stop grifting on the internet as some bizarre form of substitute routine maintenance is not going to help anyone.

How to debate a bullshit conspiracy theorist in three simple words.

“No, facts matter”.

No go out and troll a conspiracy theorist video today by putting that in the comments.
