what-about-ism has no place here

my 2 cents: what-about-ism has no place here

i don’t have a lot to say and frankly my mind is pretty fried from the last few days

a political figure was assassinated this week on a college campus in utah and the amount of justification, what-about-ism, and cheer i’ve seen online has shocked me.

covid. riots. insanity of every kind. none of it phased me. sure i had opinions. but i was good with you having yours too.

say it. think it. believe it.

your perspective may not be my jam, and i might think you’re wrong…

but! you do you and i’ll pray you change (ha).

but this week seeing so many people cheer for, justify and be thankful the public assassination of another person in a proverbial town square (actual college campus) in front of thousands of children and millions online, makes myself and many other centrist and logical american’s say, ‘enough is enough’.

i never followed charlie kirk and i often commented to others how i felt he was smug or intellectually dishonest in conversations for the sake of a point. but never in my wildest dreams did i think we’d get to the point where we as a society would cheer for his public assassination and in some cases hope for more of the same.

have we lost our ever-loving minds?

‘what about ______’

quiet.

you’re using a straw man argument to hide the fact that your morality and virtue has limit and a social mold. it isn’t really about morals or virtue for you. it’s about signal and social approval. it’s about a belief that has a perceived mass acceptance. it’s about a moral high-ground that comes with snapping fingers and a ‘yasss queen’

if charlie kirks opinion matched yours, would you care?

if so, then you should care if it doesn’t.

also, a side note…

before you post, comment, reply etc to anything about these types of issues ask yourself a few questions:

'would i want my best client see this?’

‘would i be ok saying this in front of my mom?’

‘if someone said this to me, would i feel disrespected?’
