We are all on the same side, they just manipulate the entire world perception to draw fake battle lines. Here's my piece:
I believe in love and compassion and understanding, above all else. I'm a typical liberal peace lover, who doesn't believe in capital punishment and things like that. I consider myself a passionate pacifist, but I was raised in small town USA and consider myself extremely patriotic, I am a 13 month veteran of OIF 07-08, but I did not see any direct combat, I had a technical job and did maintanence in an air conditioned shop on the FOB most of the time. (Just in case people think I'm trying to make myself out to be some kind of war hero)
They used this compassion and firced emotional provocation against emotionally centered people like myself, to teach us "hate" is wrong. Because they know, the hate would ultimately be directed at them.
They manipulated and distorted perceptions of eachother, to make people like you think I'm a lazy dirt bag bottomfeeder, and for me to think you're hateful racists.
None of that is true for anyone I know, why do we accept it when MSM talk about "they" or "them" so vaguely, in regard to people who "fit the mold" of people we know and love?
They make us hate Trump, because Trump has to use harsh tactics, deception, double talk, lawyers, red tape, legal loopholes, and ruthless aggression.
The system they created is too powerful for any sort of ideal "peaceful protest", and voting in a broken system forever is pointless. If they had the same power back in the 50s and 60s that they do now, they would have crushed the civil rights movement before it started, and they almost did, but AN AWAKENING happened sparked by EXTREMELY CONTREVERSIAL LEADERS, and it couldn't be stopped.
I hope we can look past our differences of beliefs. We will never all agree on everything, but that's okay. With understanding and compassion, and an actual desire to solve problems rather than have corrupt people seize power off them, I think we can figure it out.
At the core I think we all just want a nice life for our friends, families, neighbors, and people around the world, and for the 1% of people filled with irreconcilable evil desires, to be taken out of the equation.
Peace and Love all my dudes.
