(back to the Gen X sarcasm rant)

Dwain Northey (Gen X)

I swear we have a national psychosis and it has infected all age groups and economic strata. As guy who drives people around 6-8 hours a day, I am privy to a lot of people with a variety of opinions on any number of topics and since I am a talker I engage them and sometime, I suppose, enrage them.

I tend to listen to political stuff in the car and primarily, ok always, the left side of the argument. I have tried to listen to the Reich (right) but it makes my head want to pop from frustration.

I have had passengers want to debate me about COVID19 by telling me any number of nonsensical imagined issues with the origin of the virus. Many actually believing that it is a bioweapon from China and/or that Dr. Fauci was involved in the creation of the strain.

I like Stephen King as much as anyone but I think these people have read “The Stand” to many times and have brought the plot to life.

Was also told that the vaccine is a plot to poison everyone in order to thin the population and that it also contains nanochips so that Big Tech can trace us.

Wow… these fools don’t seem to realize that they are carrying cell phone that are already tracking them. I have also pointed out the none of the vaccines currently being given were developed by “Stark Tech” because none of the nanotechnology exists except in the Avengers Movies.

Today I was told, by a fairly affluent rider that said he owned Day Care Centers, that he hoped that children came to his centers before they were brainwashed with CRT or were subjected to a Drag Queen Story time.

Ok, Day Care centers are for children usually from infants to pre-K and Critical Race Theory is a graduate level course taught at some Law schools. I am fairly certain these young minds aren’t being taught anything at that level, unless he thinks that just exposing children to all cultures and races is some sort of indoctrination process. As far as Drag Queen story time, the children’s parents choose to take them to these usually at libraries and I think exposing children to reading is a positive thing. Always want to ask the how many documented cases for child sexual assault have been recorded at Library story times.

What are people afraid of men have been cross dressing forever, in fact our founding fathers wore wigs. In Shakespeare’s time men had to play all the stage roles because women weren’t allowed to do such things. Dolly Patron made a comment that she dressed way more flamboyantly than any Drag Queen.

I wish that people would stop listening to the latest culture war outrage and just focus on reality. Honestly who cares about candy cartoons and what shoes they wear, Mr. Potato Head, or the fact that Dr. Suess stopped printing some of their titles. (Which is a free market corporate decision.)   Not one of these “issues” has any practical relevance. These same culture warriors decry everything is “WOKE” and I haven’t met one that can articulate what “WOKE” is.

I am sincerely asking, Please Stop Drinking the Kool Aid and think before you speak. As much as I enjoy making some people feel dumb it is tiring. I will end this with a quote from Mark Twain, “Never argue with a fool because a passer by may not be able to tell the difference.”
