Fake media and outraged bullshit

I have been a mostly left of centre type of chap who tended to take a 'progressive' few of the world but not exclusively. I have been a proper 'hater' of Trump (see an earlier blog entry of mine) and was so until that business in Charlottesville a few days ago. Nazis held a rally to protest the removal of Confederate monuments. The Anitifa mob, predictably, turned out in their hundreds to counter-protest. Fair enough. However, it was not enough for them to stand their holding hands and singing Kumbaya, no, they had to throw their weight around and try and stop the Nazis, or supremacists, exercising their 1st Amendment rights. Not only that but they were determined to provoke an encounter and, in that, they were very successful. Someone on the supremacist side lost their head and sadly killed someone with their vehicle and injured a bunch of others. Who can defend that? No-one and no-one did. Yet, according to the media, the violence was all on the part of the supremacists and that to believe otherwise was to be disingenuous to say the least. Trump condemned the Nazis but that was not enough for the media; he did not condemn them with enough passion. He did not get on his knees to suck progressive cock to show them he was truly on their side. Can I get a "Fuckpigs!"? So, yesterday day Trump says that both sides were equally to blame - a very reasonable and accurate statement. You can no doubt guess the response. Racist! Fascist! Nazi! Supremacist!! Of course, as we all know; only whites can be racist, only straight white men can be gender-haters and only white males on the right can be responsible for violent protests. Read that again. Have you ever read such absolute bollocks? And, of course, the media supports these viewpoints. So when Trump comes out with "fake news" I am only now starting to come around to his way of thinking.

The events in Charlottesville have opened my eyes to the hypocrisy and lies of those on the left, plus their intolerance of anyone who does not wholly support their beliefs and who tries to publically express their own beliefs.

I have had antipathy towards these special interest groups for some time but it is only these recent events that have allowed me to see clearly the lies and obfuscations delivered by the left with the overwhelming support of the media and, shockingly to me, a number of republicans too.

I give Trump his due, he has tried to be fair to both sides but has been eviscerated by the progressive media (which is most of it). Not trying to be dramatic but my eyes have been fully opened now and I have been shocked by how much I was mistaken about the way events were actually taking place.

I have binned the Washington Post and The Guardian. I subscribe to Breitbart News and to Blue Lives Matter as these are two of the very few media outlets that present an alternative narrative to progressive media.

Enough with the lies and the bullshit. BLM are racists. LGBT (or whatever) are heterophobes and the feminazis (not 'feminists'!!) are male haters. All this hate coming from these groups and yet try and respond back and you are pilloried. 1st Amendment rights have become a political football whereby only one team can be in possession at a time. The progressives grabbed the football some time ago and refuse to put it back in play.

Who are the real fascists? I'll let you make that call.

Facebook - where minds go to die

When I used to go to pubs or bars, conversations only became enjoyable after about 5 beers. By that point I was happy to talk any old shit and listen to it back too. Everything was funny yet it was mostly all rubbish - football, tit sizes, football, asses, football, Milfs. Going on Facebook for me is like being the only sober person in the pub. Everyone is half cut and there's all sorts of shit flying around that only the drunk me would find enjoyable - which is why I tend to spend more time on Facebook when I'm pissed. Because I am mostly sober, I like to stir the pot by commenting on major stories, or show my frustration and anger when I read articles that really highlight incidents where the participants are evil, lying, hypocrites, and bullies. Shot a giraffe in Africa for fun? I want to put an arrow through your fucking head!

I'm in my sixties now but many things that people do or say still make my blood boil, which I'm sure my heart is really pleased about. Facebook is not the place for rants or articles about life the universe and everything (unless there's unicorns) so I have kind of given up on it. Social Media could be a great medium for sharing ideas, opinions, news etc. but it seems to consist mainly about the kind of stuff you'd chat about in a dentist's waiting room or during 'coffee mornings'.

I know it's me. I have never enjoyed discussing daily bric-a-brac; bores the tits off me. Most people enjoy a good natter, fine. So I find myself a square pin in a round hole with Facebook and so have left it for a while and will concentrate writing blog entries in case anyone's interested in reading them.

Am I a miserable old git? Yes. Do I care? No. What I do care about are the philosophical and scientific questions where answers can be just around the corner or thousands of light years away. Mysteries and the curiosity to explore them are everything to me. I'll name just one thing that as more and more of it is being revealed, more and more does it look like human civilizations are far older than orthodox historians and archaeologists believe. The thing (or rather a place) is Gobekli Tepi. If you have any curiosity about older times then do consider doing some reading on Gobekli Tepi; It has only just begun revealing it's mysteries.

So, Facebook is not for me as I normally wear a bowtie, have my glasses hanging on a cord around my neck, have leather patches on my jacket elbows and say "um" and "ah!" a lot.

Thought for the day, why cats are more advanced than hoomans.

 There are some gifted people out there who are fluent in multiple languages however, most of us struggle to understand people speaking the same language as us (two nations separated by a common language). However, cats are spread throughout the world yet whenever they talk to you or each other, they speak the same language. Any cat can understand any other cat regardless of 'nationality'.

Wars have been started by hoomans because one side misinterpreted the other's word for peace as 'C--t!!'. Cats have never had that problem. "Stay away from my hos or I'll scratch your face off!". "Er.....OK" or "You want some of this you fuck??!!" Either way, matters get cleared up in a few moments.

Hoomans spend too much of the day awake so by the end of the day they're as grumpy as fuck and feel like shit unless some liquid refreshment is taken in which case they feel like shit the next morning. Cat's sleep most of the day and party all night yet never seem to wake up with hangovers or sleep back to back because they've had a shit fit with their SO.

Cat's sex life is simple and straightforward - howl, sniff, get jiggy wid it, the end. Hoomans.....what can you say? It's like playing Russian Roulette with only one chamber empty.

Basically hoomans may be top of the food chain but cats have learned that 'intelligence' makes everything so much more fucking complicated and hence they are far happier and saner than any of us.
