I don't know if you know tnis but even if you used to think like them and yell out like them, when you suddenly turn around and start to march the other way, you will be made fun of, pushed around, yelled at, called out, spit at, pushed to the ground, stepped on and be thrown in the trash like yesterday's news.
Don't get me wrong, the other side is doing this too, but they don't have big tech, big pharma, the celebrities, the news and social media.
Canceled
So what do you supposed happened when Kanye supported Trump?
What happened when he said he found Jesus?
And what do you suppose is happening now when Nicki said she will not take the vaccine until she personally feels that it is safe for her to take it?
Let's think about this for a moment. It is not her right to do so? Um hmm.
But no, we cannot have that.
The bad thing is that the farther up the line you were in marching side by side with all the other celebrities who are all going the same way and thinking the same way, the moment you paused and realize that you have your own convictions and it is not the same song as what everyone is singing... the precise moment you decide that you want to be your own person and speak your own mind... the second you turn around and start walking the other way, the farther you are up that line, the more people you will need to crash into before anyone else can even hear what you have to say and even accept the fact that you have the right to your own choices.
It is a sad reality but tolerance is only for those going in the same direction.
Hard to Go Against the Flow
So most people just conveniently go with what everyone else is saying and what everyone else thinks is right.
It is indeed safe to maintain the status quo, so people stay in their comfort zones. No one wants to stand up and rock the boat.
And yes, it is all well and good, until everyone else turns around and walks the other way, or when everything hits the fan or when the boat they're in starts to sink.
Land of the Free, I Don't Think So
We all need to practice what we preach. We really need to follow what we personally think is true and right.
And we all need to start asking the right questions and more importantly, start looking for the answers for ourselves and stop merely going with the flow.
Being anti-vaxx is one thing, but waiting to feel safe is not the same thing.
But who wants to deal with all this?
And who wants to be censored and canceled?
And who wants to be censored and canceled?
