Hurricane Harvey come through Houston around the height of BLM movement/MSM blitz.

Houston was supposed to fall apart, have looters everywhere, beg for help from FEMA and National guard. That didn't happen. Local government did fail us, got desperate and asked for help from regular citizens. And we all helped.

People helping strangers everywhere, everywhere they could. Private citizens with boats, neighbors and friends helping clear out flooded homes, taco trucks, local restaurants and church groups driving around passing out food and water.

You know who I didn't see? BLM, Antifa, LBGTQ groups, social justice warriors, etc... I didn't see any of those groups helping the community. None of us did and I can tell you that matters. We remember who helped and who didn't.

As tragic events and overreaching laws continue, most of you will still be debating on who's a troll, who's citing truth, and whether the person who tried to paint the truth for you, was a nothing burger. I'm convinced that if scientists ever positively identified a world ending meteor on its way to earth, most of you would still be debating the topic up until the final moments of civilization. We have lost any sort of semblance of respect or trust for one another, long ago.

As a society, we have failed. We're really already finished. You can try and make snide comments, but you'd really only be proving my point which is that our society is hopelessly beyond repair. Today's society is the most self absorbed society ever known, and to be fair, most people these days don't really like people. Hell, they don't like themselves. We as a society, don't play or work well with others. You can see it literally everywhere around you. On the roads, while shopping and even in a church parking lot. It's a shame, but it is what is is. Sure, there are always exceptions, but as a whole? No. It's a shame, because we had a good thing going as a society.

Time for a reboot. So now, we wait for the elite to finish what they started.

Also, I want to be clear. There are obvious exceptions within society. I can see some of you commenting here are decent folks. But when we're talking about society as a whole? I'm afraid the results are in, we're through.
 Quoting: Clapton's Doctrine


I think your assessment of society as a whole being intolerant(to paraphrase)towards everyone else is incorrect. While I agree with this assessment as applying to a large minority, it is not the whole. And we can in fact identify where it’s coming from.
Who has abandoned civility? Civil discourse? Real debate even? The Left.
Who has abandoned reasoning and logic? Intellectual honesty? The Left. They are so thoroughly defeated in the arena of ideas and policies that they create a narrative that words are violence. That disagreeing with any leftist agenda is hatred and must be responded to with force and violence. The Left is indoctrinated in Marxist ideals. Rules for Radicals is one of their bibles.
It is the Left that is leaving no room for political or ideologic disagreements. It is the Left that is pushing us towards blind acceptance of their degenerate ideology or violence.
Don’t make a moral equivalency between Leftists and American Patriots. It’s disingenuous and lazy analysis. And 100% wrong.
If we could eliminate the fervent radical demented Leftist element, society would right itself, and quickly.

This is why I believe, imho, that Trump either calls in the Marines and brings down every cabal senator, rep, judge, and shuts down all of the propaganda news. Or we have no country left and we will slowly slip into pockets of civil war. You cannot live peaceably with people who publicly call for your death and extermination with a MSM that cheers them on and covers up all of their violence and crimes. Only option left is war.

Its hardly the time for Trump to give up presidential powers especially when the country is filled with 20x the internal and external enemies than on 9-11.

Here's what you do OP:

Society IS fucked, everyone knows it.

OK, now what the fuck are you going to do about all of that?

That's right.

Ah...

Feel that?

The weight is gone from your shoulders, now go be the best person YOU can be.
 Quoting: Lumberghini


I've attempted to spread truth. That's what I'm doing about "that" (at least on GLP) However, regardless of whether you buy into what I'm selling, well, that's up to you. Offline I try and be the best human that I can possibly be. All of us have faults, so this can be difficult for people, in general, especially in a society that is collapsing..

However, I want to address something else. I often see these kinds of retorts on GLP anytime someone does make an attempt to post truth. Immediately they are hit with, WELL WHAT ARE YOU going to do about "insert problem here". That's hardly a rebuttal. What it really is, is simply a passive aggressive way of saying shut the fuck up, and that tactic is getting mighty old around here. It's mob rule mentality.

For example, it's no different than when someone (heaven forbids) suggests that Trump may not be great for the country, and they are immediately bombarded with "Well WHO do YOU want as president". having a solution isn't a pre-qualifier for making a statement that an individual feels as true.

In fact, as a freedom loving Americans, we have every right to bitch about problems without having a genius plan on how to fix them at a moment's notice, especially if that very problem wasn't cerated in a fair system to begin with. So, whether you're intentionally posting these kinds of rebuttals or not, it needs to be pointed out.
 Quoting: Clapton's Doctrine


Don't have a plan to fix the system at a moment's notice?

That's a kick. Anyone with a brain and who has paid attention the last 4 years knows we didn't have another 4,8, or 20 years to kick the can down the road.

Had Hillary been elected she would have opened wide the borders, created a dozen more Islamic strong holds like Minnesota, created more sanctuary cities, taxed Americans to pay for illegals and three years into her presidency she would be confiscating guns.

You don't have a solution? I didn't think so. Its not like you got any real idea what Trump faced when he took over the presidency.

Here's a clue. A man with any plan is worth 100x more than a man without a plan.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78202154


Listen to you. You're hopeless. You just couldn't WAIT to jump in and troll the moment that Trump was brought up. And the ironic twist? You sure bitched a lot right there, purely for the sake of bitching, without actually having one single solution to qualify your bitching.

People are too self absorbed and angry to give a flying fuck about anything, really. Thanks for once again, proving my opening post.
 Quoting: Clapton's Doctrine


Get this Clapton, despite all the happy horse shit posted by "Super Patriots" on GLP, the impetuous for change, the revolution against the embedded PTB, the return of power to the people was NEVER going to be a bottom-up revolution.

Why? For a number of reasons, but the reason most obvious and which we have seen on GLP (and social media) since the election, is the bottom up revolution is highly unlikely because the PTB can pay patriots to attack other patriots worse than Hillarytards, and so divide and demoralize patriots that a bottom-up revolution is nearly impossible.

Basic co intel. Divide, conquer, demoralize.

That's why change, the revolution to give power back to the people will be and is a top-down revolution. A white hat revolution.

I don't know man. Now you have me thinking.

Personal hardship forces a person to look at humanity. That being said, maybe society would turn around when forced with hardship. All of a sudden, political or societal differences look pretty insignificant when you just need food, water and a place to stay. Family and community seem to put their differences to the side and rally back.

Maybe this is why I don't see California as a total lost cause. Because they are 1 natural disaster away from coming back in touch with their humanity.

I've never been to New York, did 9/11 change the fabric of their society at all? Some there still do question the narrative don't they? So maybe there are cracks even in the propaganda center meccas even?

 Quoting: Clapton's Doctrine

Political ideology is in fact what is leading to a general increase in public hostilities and attitudes.
And people being total assholes is such an ambiguous idea/opinion that its impossible to put any kind of measurement on....”it just feels like more people are assholes” isn’t definitive.
It’s also very regional. Overcrowded areas typically feel more tense, obviously my opinion on the feeling. But I’ve aleays thought that was people trying to hold some sort of privacy when they live on top of each other. Lower densely populated areas people have plenty of privacy so they reach out to others to make connections for a myriad of reasons. All generalizations.
But I do believe that their is a recent increase in public tensions. A large percentage of Trump supporters/conservatives don’t feel safe/comfortable airing their opinions in public or even with family. There are leftists that walk around judging every white male they encounter to be a racist, sexist, bigot, white supremacist, etc etc etc.
So yes, it has everything to do with it. My first post is correct. IMHO of course...

Re: Most People Are Too Self Absorbed to Listen. Society is 100% DONE.
As tragic events and overreaching laws continue, most of you will still be debating on who's a troll, who's citing truth, and whether the person who tried to paint the truth for you, was a nothing burger. I'm convinced that if scientists ever positively identified a world ending meteor on its way to earth, most of you would still be debating the topic up until the final moments of civilization. We have lost any sort of semblance of respect or trust for one another, long ago.

As a society, we have failed. We're really already finished. You can try and make snide comments, but you'd really only be proving my point which is that our society is hopelessly beyond repair. Today's society is the most self absorbed society ever known, and to be fair, most people these days don't really like people. Hell, they don't like themselves. We as a society, don't play or work well with others. You can see it literally everywhere around you. On the roads, while shopping and even in a church parking lot. It's a shame, but it is what is is. Sure, there are always exceptions, but as a whole? No. It's a shame, because we had a good thing going as a society.

Time for a reboot. So now, we wait for the elite to finish what they started.

Here's what you do OP:

Society IS fucked, everyone knows it.

OK, now what the fuck are you going to do about all of that?

That's right.

Ah...

Feel that?

The weight is gone from your shoulders, now go be the best person YOU can be.
 Quoting: Lumberghini


I've attempted to spread truth. That's what I'm doing about "that" (at least on GLP) However, regardless of whether you buy into what I'm selling, well, that's up to you. Offline I try and be the best human that I can possibly be. All of us have faults, so this can be difficult for people, in general, especially in a society that is collapsing..

However, I want to address something else. I often see these kinds of retorts on GLP anytime someone does make an attempt to post truth. Immediately they are hit with, WELL WHAT ARE YOU going to do about "insert problem here". That's hardly a rebuttal. What it really is, is simply a passive aggressive way of saying shut the fuck up, and that tactic is getting mighty old around here. It's mob rule mentality.

For example, it's no different than when someone (heaven forbids) suggests that Trump may not be great for the country, and they are immediately bombarded with "Well WHO do YOU want as president". having a solution isn't a pre-qualifier for making a statement that an individual feels as true.

In fact, as a freedom loving Americans, we have every right to bitch about problems without having a genius plan on how to fix them at a moment's notice, especially if that very problem wasn't cerated in a fair system to begin with. So, whether you're intentionally posting these kinds of rebuttals or not, it needs to be pointed out.
 Quoting: Clapton's Doctrine


Don't have a plan to fix the system at a moment's notice?

That's a kick. Anyone with a brain and who has paid attention the last 4 years knows we didn't have another 4,8, or 20 years to kick the can down the road.

Had Hillary been elected she would have opened wide the borders, created a dozen more Islamic strong holds like Minnesota, created more sanctuary cities, taxed Americans to pay for illegals and three years into her presidency she would be confiscating guns.

You don't have a solution? I didn't think so. Its not like you got any real idea what Trump faced when he took over the presidency.

Here's a clue. A man with any plan is worth 100x more than a man without a plan.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78202154


Listen to you. You're hopeless. You just couldn't WAIT to jump in and troll the moment that Trump was brought up. And the ironic twist? You sure bitched a lot right there, purely for the sake of bitching, without actually having one single solution to qualify your bitching.

People are too self absorbed and angry to give a flying fuck about anything, really. Thanks for once again, proving my opening post.
 Quoting: Clapton's Doctrine


No....that would be you and your pathetic post. We're all fine and know thing will turn out right. You, on the other hand, just went full twat waffle. You claim the sky is falling, yet tell people they're hopeless when they say you're a debbie downer. No go take your advice and 'reboot'.

Re: Most People Are Too Self Absorbed to Listen. Society is 100% DONE.
Also, I want to be clear. There are obvious exceptions within society. I can see some of you commenting here are decent folks. But when we're talking about society as a whole? I'm afraid the results are in, we're through.
 Quoting: Clapton's Doctrine


I think your assessment of society as a whole being intolerant(to paraphrase)towards everyone else is incorrect. While I agree with this assessment as applying to a large minority, it is not the whole. And we can in fact identify where it’s coming from.
Who has abandoned civility? Civil discourse? Real debate even? The Left.
Who has abandoned reasoning and logic? Intellectual honesty? The Left. They are so thoroughly defeated in the arena of ideas and policies that they create a narrative that words are violence. That disagreeing with any leftist agenda is hatred and must be responded to with force and violence. The Left is indoctrinated in Marxist ideals. Rules for Radicals is one of their bibles.
It is the Left that is leaving no room for political or ideologic disagreements. It is the Left that is pushing us towards blind acceptance of their degenerate ideology or violence.
Don’t make a moral equivalency between Leftists and American Patriots. It’s disingenuous and lazy analysis. And 100% wrong.
If we could eliminate the fervent radical demented Leftist element, society would right itself, and quickly.

This is why I believe, imho, that Trump either calls in the Marines and brings down every cabal senator, rep, judge, and shuts down all of the propaganda news. Or we have no country left and we will slowly slip into pockets of civil war. You cannot live peaceably with people who publicly call for your death and extermination with a MSM that cheers them on and covers up all of their violence and crimes. Only option left is war.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78014815


You're conflating and confusing political ideology with simply being a polite and decent person. For example, I live in a predominantly right leaning area. 70% of the people here are total assholes, despite us sharing a common political ideology. Two different things entirely.
 Quoting: Clapton's Doctrine

Political ideology is in fact what is leading to a general increase in public hostilities and attitudes.
And people being total assholes is such an ambiguous idea/opinion that its impossible to put any kind of measurement on....”it just feels like more people are assholes” isn’t definitive.
It’s also very regional. Overcrowded areas typically feel more tense, obviously my opinion on the feeling. But I’ve aleays thought that was people trying to hold some sort of privacy when they live on top of each other. Lower densely populated areas people have plenty of privacy so they reach out to others to make connections for a myriad of reasons. All generalizations.
But I do believe that their is a recent increase in public tensions. A large percentage of Trump supporters/conservatives don’t feel safe/comfortable airing their opinions in public or even with family. There are leftists that walk around judging every white male they encounter to be a racist, sexist, bigot, white supremacist, etc etc etc.
So yes, it has everything to do with it. My first post is correct. IMHO of course...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78014815


I find it interesting that this entire thread is filled with roughly 70% hateful responses and you're still sitting here trying to deflect such behavior by blaming people's hate on a boogey man, rather than on individual accountability. The mere fact that you're purely speaking in terms of politics, literally shows that your obsessed with political ideology.

You and those who are like you have blood on your hands. It is obvious that your only goal is to shut down discussion. That this site allows you to belittle and taunt the person who penned this post is also indicative of a site designed to spread outrageous lies rather than permit the few intellectuals who come here to reflect on their own insights regarding the obvious end of the free world.

Well that was certainly an educational reply filled with objective points! I'm sure we all learned a great deal from your insights.

Good hell, I can't believe the toxic responses to this.

This is not the GLP of old. I'm convinced more and more this forum has been the target of a concerted takeover.

This thread is classic, bread-and-butter, GLP. If we can't even discuss OP's premise without all the bullshit, wtf are we even here for?
 Quoting: PirateMonkey


Are you serious? 'Old GLP' was conspiracy. UFOs, aliens, paranormal, ancient civilizations, ESP...you name it.

Whining about how hopeless and shitty things are? That's pure millennial whinery. GLP was not a place to come and cry.
