As evidenced by the continued existence and growth of Facebook, X (formally Twitter), Truth Social, etc., millions upon millions worldwide choose to spend notable amounts of their precious/limited gift-of-life journey using Social Media Platforms . . . “for an array of reasons.”
Including folks such as I who are prone to more than occasionally use such for spewing personal views and/or thought to be reality-rooted info regarding government, politics, etc. And when I ask myself “why” do I do so . . . a sizable ego and abundance of vanity seem to always get in the way of personally acknowledging and constructive focus on what is likely the “real” reason or reasons.” As a result, I generally just settle on a sufficiently ego-stroking answer along the lines of . . . “I do so in search of, and to offer support of, views and opinions I tend to personally agree with and/or otherwise consider tolerable, etc.
Never the less, what I am pretty much sure of is . . . I do NOT do so in an effort to “change” the minds of those who are radically in opposition with my particular views about anything, especially regarding government, politics, etc. Of course herein I’m herein primarily making reference to the minds of the Communist-infested Radical-Left individuals and groups that are hell-bent to destroy our ever-so-precious individual liberty enabling constitutional republic. Yes, “changing” the minds of such folks is in “no way” on my personal “to do” or “doable” list . . . for an array of reasons likely best summed up by old sayings such as: “Never try to teach a pig to sing — it wastes your time and annoys the pig” . . . and also, “Never wrestle with a pig — you both get dirty and the pig likes it.”
So, instead, I am among the many who choose to do one’s best to maintain some constructive focus on the basic “Rules of Survival.” Yes, just like other life forms, survival of we so-called superior humans also depends upon our willingness and ability to: (1.) “recognize” threats; (2.) “have” or “obtain” effective defenses against threats; and (3.) “execute” timely and effective defenses and/or proactive responses against such threats. While trying also to not lose sight of the risks and consequences of failing to do so . . . as so aptly expressed by the following caution attributed to President Ronald Reagan: “To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last — but eat you he will.”
