Good morning… at least I think it’s morning. Sun hasn’t popped over the horizon yet, but I’m used to that. It is 19 October 2022, a Wednesday morning.
In a little bit, I’ll return to my virtual classroom to present a case study. In the meantime, I’ll write, grab a couple of cups of coffee, and have a little breakfast.
Yesterday I wrote about the garbage I witness in the “comments” section of news articles, but there is something else that ought to be mentioned. It amazes me how people can state bald-faced lies with such impunity. It has gone on forever, but during the political season, it gets so much worse.
This morning I scanned through an article that involved a journalist found with classified information, and then the comments. Wow. It seems like a very aggressive group of posters with an obvious agenda was repeating the same block of old disproven falsehoods over and over again, reinforcing positions most often associated with the white nationalist movement.
If white nationalists take over control of the United States, I fear for free-thinkers around the world. Those folks will do anything to maintain their power base, as they have already proven. We can’t let it happen.
We just need to take note of it and speak up about it when we see it.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
