The big problem in the world is that people are so fixated on ‘the other side’ ie being the left or right, that we don’t get around to having a genuine conversation on what’s best for the world. Online political debates have always been largely cancerous & ripe with extremists.
And you are correct about the media being largely to blame. For instance, take the mass shootings in the US as like a twisted ‘game’ and the Media are keeping score of who’s the best at it. Young troubled kids see this and think: ‘I bet I can kill more than the last guy, that’ll make me really famous.’
The word is overrun with Neo-Nazis & SJWs. All competing over who’s right and squabbling like children. Personally I lean more towards the right wing, but I do hold some left wing beliefs like: universal healthcare, more taxes on the rich etc.
But I’m right wing in the sense that I don’t think anybody should be banned from saying or wearing anything. As long as it’s not a personal attack on someone.
Folk can’t take a joke anymore & that’s the problem. Humour helps us heal, & brings us together all whilst Letting out frustration in a friendly manner.
It’s one of the reasons I use a lot of Nazi symbolism in my memes, it’s not about ‘I like Nazis’ it’s about sharing a joke. I don’t attack anyone who doesn’t deserve it but I also don’t resort to personal attacks against the individual either, threatening to beat them up or harm their loved ones. I collect Nazi memorabilia yes, but also a hell of a lot more. I’m open minded & not restricted to a set view on the world, which we need.
TheGreatTitan is also a collector of Historical merobilia & builds Lego sets of historic events. She even has a uniform collection of both allied & axis gear. Alongside her Marvel & DC collection & Lego sets. Me I even have a few WW1-2 guns with my section 5 firearms certificate (UK gun certificate meaning I can own semi auto weapons)
I have an American M1 Garand, MG-42 LMG (replica), a martini hernry rifle, an SMLE & a German Kar98k.
So what I’m Getting at is that we should be more mindful of the ‘X is a Nazi!’ BS. Or history will repeat itself. And the media push this division through bias & fabrication. They pick a side & run with it. They’re pretty much sheep themselves. Unable to try & understand the ‘other side’ & I mean both the left & right.
