I was looking at videos today and I realize that we(the US) have so badly bifurcated our culture. We are all angry, We all want to yell fuck off to each other. It takes so much energy to be constantly angry. We need to fucking stop already. Work through our differences, This is not a red vs blue thing, Its humanity and we as a culture can not survive if we keep this.

The news tells us to be angry, social media tells us to be outraged, but, its is missing one thing… How to fix it! Realistically watching the news you do not see any caring articles anymore. Social media is brainrot to blind us from the real issues.

Look at this . its 11 months ago! everyone getting together and dropping their differences in a flash mob forgetting for one moment in time to join in and be “one” rather than trying to judge a person of why to hate them.

This alone should tell you as a culture we have become so divided that we forget compassion, we forget empathy and try to divide each other for no reason what so ever other than spread hate.

The psychological stress today in the US is so high we are stuck to our screens going what next, another group waits to find out what to hate next. This is not a red vs blue issue, this not Female vs male vs trans issue, this is a human issue. When we are told to hate trans, The next excerpts an entire portion of people born out of the norms of gender. Look up XXY, XYY, XXX, and XO chromosomes, The thing is there are more of those people who do not fall into the binary gender than Trans folks themselves.

We need to get back to the point of basic human appreciation. Honestly, these folks who are thrown into the system without a choice and have an angry mob ruining every aspect of their lives and they did not make a choice to do anything. They are thrown to the wolves and more over it should not happen.

To come away from our ideological differences and work towards the human condition. If you want to dress and drag and do the hula , that’s up to you. In 1994 no one batted an eye over one line in the Lion King, Now there is a profound moral crisis that can be solved in one word.. “hi” rather than judge someone before you even talk to them. If someone falls pick them up, you cant just leave someone falling than record them for a tiktok video because you think its funny. If they laugh while you recorded that, give them a hand and ask if you can use it , in that one moment you created a connection if they say no then delete it while showing them. You have created a profound moment of human connection.

We as the citizens offload cognitivally offload our empathy to the news and parse it to the daily norm and break our connection to humanity. The flash mobs in paris should be a lesson to the human condition. For one moment in the lives of someone in paris stops and sees this happen, they forget for one moment all of their anger and join in for a singular profound moment of togetherness. We have handed over our critical thinking and emotional intelligence to corporate news anchors and tech algorithms, and we are paying for it with our sanity. This needs to stop and we should take care of our emotional ecosystems, Saying good morning to your neighbor might change their day , there needs to be change. Emotion sociological change.

We’re standing at the edge of absolute cultural exhaustion, We need to have grace and compassion even to the ones you disagree with.. In the end we are all human and we have a machine telling us what to hate.

But in the end. If you see a person who is having a bad day , ask are you ok, they might be weirded out but its a single moment of connection that we all need. we need to stop treating people like props for a TikTok video, you step in to manually pull up someone who takes a fall, a loss or profound injury Physical or mental , and you ask a person having a rough day if they’re doing alright. That changes the whole trajectory of the universe for you and that person. so like Nike, Just do it!
