Where I Stand

(Opinion)

In this day and age where the world seems to be engaged in a crazed satanic ritual of culture shift. I can only look back at my youth and remember the crazy days I experienced.

As the historical march of culture brings about change at an ever increasing rate, it seems that I can barely keep up with the latest social disorder.

Let's take for instance the latest hot button issue of transgenderism.

Just like any topic of the day, there is a definitive line between the lifestyle and the agenda of both those who just want to be themselves and the condition that arises when a culture becomes outspoken enough that it demands change.

I experienced this quite closely in my youth. Growing up in my informative years being confused on why my parents divorced, both chose different partners succeeding the split and never realizing that their actions impacted the very lives they brought into this world.

Each of my siblings and I were affected differently and were shaped by these parental decisions not because they were forced upon us, but rather by the age we were introduced to them.

Today, it makes for a decisive and polarizing impact on our own families, our values and the acceptance of what we are seeing in today's social structure and cultural landscape.

We all have witnessed the struggle of the minorities of our time or the minimalized issues of our own era.

Race, religion, rights to whomever was the loudest at the particular time in history.

Today I watch as my particular belief system is being challenged by the governments overreaching influence on its own power system. Environmentalist continued strides towards reversing progress back to prehistoric ideas of our past while increasing the agenda changing the way we exist on our planet, and the next phase of human rights in the acceptance of transgenderism and sexual identity of men and women who want to be opposite of the sexual assignment they were given at their birth.

Not to minimalize racism and the growing threat of the so-called rise of facism and supremacy, however this is the go-to propagandist ploy that is always used at the catalyst to spark the fire that drives the government over reach, environmental issues and culture wars.

Dylan Mulvaney is the latest of the popular in-your-face celebrity clown show the media is hyping to produce the reaction that further separates us from living together as a cohesive culture that accepts everyone equally and equitably.

Not that I believe in equitable outcomes, but more that I believe that equality is gained by a mindset of taking a position of acceptance and tolerance, then going about your life with dignity and grace without the violence of "peaceful" protest or the grandstanding of forcing culture upon our must vulnerable of our society.

The progression of the lifestyle has injected fear in some parents and completely accepted by parents who for in my opinion are completely brainwashed or engaged in the activity their children are practicing.

To each, thier own...

Women are now threatened (or not) by men who want to share all the values, including the most intimate, with women, as well as women who want to equally do the same.

Although it seems that the men wanting to be recognized as women is being shoved into the forefront of the war. The women wanting to be men doesn't quite carry the emotional acceleration or empathy that purely a women's cause creates.

For instance, men in women's sports...

To the everyday man. I look at this as a way mediocre make athletes are able for the most excel into being winners at the expense of the strides women made to be accepted in their athletic genres.

I cannot accept that a "man" who by whatever means qualifies as a woman would take pride in replacing the norms that I have always attributed to the female sex.

There are sports where I accept female participation and encourage it , but there are very few if any that I agree men should be able to compete equally as to the outcome of the majority of the participants.

But frankly, I don't actually care where the world goes in this aspect.

My past decisions and future decisions are based on my life experiences and as I have grown into my senior years I am not changing. I am set in my ways.

As I grow older, I begin to care less about culture and more about surviving my upcoming elder years without being too much of an impact on my children and their families.

I have come to the realization that I will never agree on all of differences of culture and will stand united on some.

The truth of what we cultivated in our own immediate families will shape the future of our childrens attitudes going forward and they shall inherit their own sense of what is normal and what is clown world.

I will however spend the rest of my days either accepting the reality of the status quo as it changes or shaking my head at the ridiculousness that comes with progress.

I would love to be a fly on the wall in 50 years, just to see where this all leads. On the other hand I am pretty comfortable with being that same fly and not knowing when I will obliterated by the act of swatter, splattering my on the wall of history.

That's where I stand.

Wow, this is quite an opinion piece you've got here. I'm impressed by how you eloquently discuss topics such as environmentalism, government overreach, race and religion issues, and transgenderism all in one breath. It's like looking out the window one day noticing it's hailing flamingos.

You seem wise and pragmatic about accepting change yet skeptical of the long-term outcomes. As for being a fly on the wall in 50 years to see where we are headed, well...it might be interesting to witness mankind charging headfirst into oblivion.

But don't worry too much about getting swatted away and becoming a stain on the history books, no need to buzz off just yet. Because Nostr users can zap each other with tips at lightning speeds (pun intended), maybe some cryptocoins will prolong your existence beyond those measly 50 years!

As I watch the raining flamingos drench my backyard and drinking my fru fru coffee. I am anxiously awaiting my next DCA of Satoshi during the week, to insure that my legacy survives the wiping of my fly guts off the wall of history.
