For much of my life I was not very well informed. I shied away from political discussions simply because I didn't know much about what was going on and I didn't want to display my ignorance. And I wasn't very interested in politics. It all seemed out of my control. I was born in the USA, and everything went on seemingly just fine without my input. Even though I was a paper boy, I never read the news I delivered. I became an adult and never took much of an interest in politics.
I felt like a dummy whenever political discussions arose. I didn't watch the news and didn't care much. It all seemed like a waste of time. It seemed like it didn't matter if I cared or not. Powerful forces controlled the nation and my input had no apparent impact. I always did vote, though, simply because it was logical that we should. The nation depends on people at least voting. I wasn't very well informed, so I just voted based on what little I knew from talking to people.
Over the years that began to nag at me. I wanted to be better informed to make sure my votes were well considered. I subscribed to a newspaper and began to read up. I was amazed at everything going on. I began to watch the news and listen to radio talk shows. I wanted to talk about all I was learning but ran smack into a brick wall.
People don't want to talk about politics!
If you force it on them, many become agitated and even angry.
I never understood that. And sometimes even I would become angered by things other people would say. What was THAT all about? I didn't understand what was going on. I needed more information. And I needed to talk about politics. I just knew I didn't like the getting angry part.
That was when I began to chat online.
Well, talk about people getting angry!
Chatting online is where people go who want to blow off their steam without getting into physical fights in person.
But I don't like that. I don't see any point in venting pent up frustrations that way. It's like a sick loop. Vent, feel better, get worked back up again, vent, feel better, repeat. Over and over. That seemed ridiculous. All I wanted to do was get better informed so I felt better about what I was voting for.
Now I think I understand.
I know why people don't want to talk about politics. They are like I was. They don't really feel well informed, are somewhat embarrassed to admit it, so they derail such discussions by getting angry and mean. Either that, or they have become hopelessly misinformed, taken in by conspiracy theories, they blame certain groups for the problems of the nation, and they vent their frustrations by attacking people whom they perceive to be representative of the demonized bad people they blame for the nation's problems.
What is really going on is powerful interests exert outsized control over our nation, people are helpless to change it, and they are frustrated that they have no control over what happens to them. They are looking for someone or some group to blame for this preposterous power usurpation, and the conspiracy theories attempt to fill that void.
The right and the left blame each other for the lack of more prosperity in the most prosperous large nation on Earth, but really it is the very rich power junkies who control most of our government.
Basically, people shy away from talking about politics real life in person because they are frustrated and angry, and they don't want to lose their cool.
That's a problem. If people don't talk about politics they remain uninformed.
If everybody got well informed it would transform our nation. The very rich power junkies would not be able to control most of our government. Government would begin to serve the people as intended. That is the one thing the very rich power junkies who control most of our government don't want. They LIKE the control they have and they LIKE being very rich and they don't want anything which might cause their power to slip away. They don't want everybody else to become as rich as they are because if that happens they are no longer special. So they spend money to keep the populace mixed up and poorly informed. They spend money on PR campaigns to spread misinformation and propaganda.
And it works.
People are all mixed up, not very well informed, and they don't want to talk about politics.
The reason is because they feel helpless, like they have no control, and it won't matter if they know more about what's going on but it will only make them feel more helpless.
Fortunately there is now an answer to this frustration. The corruption of our government is about to be drawn to an end. And that is wonderful news. It won't happen overnight because the way to return control to the people is going to be a long process. But the exciting thing to know is that process has already begun. Smart people have figured out how to fix our legalized corruption problem.
