Global Insanity.
107 Answers
God has been kicked out of the public arena, together with the self discipline normally associated with religions of whatever denomination.
In place we have seen the arrival of a collective madness, akin to a religion, that involves climate fear, the conditioning of the masses to do the bidding of the global elite, giving up freedoms, adapting the woke agenda, a resurgence of leftism, and a readiness to condemn anybody not belonging to our own narrow faction.
In short, we are descending further and further into a global insanity.
At least, that's what I think.
Is there a way back to normality?

Yes,Pixie....if God existed why didnt he/she prevent the rise of the Nazis or the rise of the Russian socialists under Stalin.Both Hitler and Stalin were anti-Christs and haters of God,why didnt God stop them before they were born.Nah,a wee bit angry and a helluva lot of tears for the wee toddlers of Auswitsch.....
It used to be, naomi, lol. As I said, AB is well behind real-life. But let's be honest, if you are reduced to using adjectives such as "woke" (and it's used sarcastically, not properly) or "virtue signaller", it's only because you (not you, personally) can't explain what you actually mean. So ancient buzzwords from 12 year olds, have to suffice.
naomi - // I disagree. The only people who object to the use of the word ‘woke’ - and the term ‘virtue signalling’
- are those virtue signallers who defend the nonsense that comes from the ‘woke’. It’s all the rage! //
The media, which feeds and in turn feeds off all this pointless nonsense, simply exploits human nature.
It's a cultural aspect that people like new words and phrases, and adopt them for a while, and then drop them and move on.
While the terms are in vogue, they crop up everywhere, and it appears that everyone uses them, and you are out of touch if you don't.
Remember when The Beatles started talking on TV? In Those days, hardly anyone travelled outside their own locale, so for Londoners, hearing The Beatles say "Yeah, Fab, Gear, Grotty ..." and so on were a real novelty.
It was as though they had invented their own hip language, which they hadn't, they simply used the common phrases that people used daily where they came from.
But the public seized on the words and everyone said them and then they became assimilated into language, and ceased to be a novelty.
Now, with the internet, the notion of 'local' speech has ceased to exist, but not the public's interest in novelty expressions, so the media invent them, and people use them, and then drop them.
Personally, i can't wait for the term 'influencer' to go out of fashion.
It makes me laugh every time I hear it, although I admire the ability of someone to find a single word that encapsulates every vacuous teenager who has had their empty pointless opinions about nothing deemed as important enough for other vacuous teenagers to parrot after them.

ynna - // Yes,Naomi.I read Josef Kramers auto-biography.I just couldnt stop crying.He was the boss at Auswitsch,his biography makes harrowing reading.He was hanged at the end of the war.If you are easily upset please dont read his autobiography //
As an atheist, I have no issue with the notion that people do unspeakable things simply because they can.
I do have serious issues with what they do - and the consequences thereof, but i am delighted to be spared the endless hang-wringing and crocodile tears of Christians who have to spend all day every day trying to reconcile why their God lets these things go on and does not spare innocents from horrible bheaviour.
They do love their 'free will' Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free / one-size-fits-all excuse for such things, but if I believed that for one moment, I weould never sleep again.
