Swing pendulum swing....

[Bumblebee]

The pendulum is definitely swinging all the way and it will probably never swing back...

There is no denying the fact the war between the states happened and now changing of the names of bases that have been so named for decades...There has been no mistake the enslavement of people is and has never been acceptable but the sad reality is it happened and no amount of neutralization of this will ever make it go away and be forgotten.

Here in Canada, changing of street and town names has already begun....statues our our founding fathers have been removed and their names have been taken off almost anything.

I believe it's called "cancel culture" people are holding historical figures and incidents to the standards of today which is wrong....

Globalization.

[Bumblebee]

Globalization.

I'm thinking more "wokeism"

I see it when I watch an older show on TV and the disclaimer before the show is something else, the one that goes:

"this show is a product of it's time and the opinions, remarks and visualization were wrong then and wrong today-we still play it so it will generate discussion as to how life was depicted and how to correct the wrongs...viewer discretion is advised..."

I think it was before watching Bonanza....what an evil show that was...LOL!

[ottafish]

So glad I grew up in the decades that I did.

[sixpack577]

Amen!

[Bumblebee]

Amen!

+1, exactly my sentiments...

I'm still waiting on Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi and VW to start paying me reparations for what they did to my Jewish relatives.

Yeah that darn Hop Sing!!!

Exactly...the list could be long and drawn out if we were to open that can of worms.....

When is enough enough, when do we stop trying to make the past meet the standards of today?

[Bumblebee]

Yeah that darn Hop Sing!!!

I think Big Hoss said "gosh danged" too many times...

As long as you keep paying, it will keep going.

[Bumblebee]

As long as you keep paying, it will keep going.

I'm not tracking? Paying what? Taxes?

[TallTom]

I'm not tracking? Paying what? Taxes?

Yeah let's just leave it at taxes. Cleans up the discussion to keep it safe. Lord knows we don't want to piss off anyone by getting to specific.

Well, you mispelled "too", and Wuzza hates that, so....

Wokeism is clearly supported by goverments and media... it isn't people pushing this trend its strictly the people up top. They want countries to be able to be basically boarderless and mix all races, genders and religions together... which will never work. Lgbtq whatever makes up 1% of the population yet their voice is louder then anyone else's due to media and goverments pushing the inclusion.

But good luck sticking LGBTQ with Muslims and full blown catholics.

Of course "wokeism" is supported by all governments....the bird with the loudest squawk gets the biggest worm. Today's media will cater to whomever garners them the most views and controversies...

You mentioned the LGBTQ, Muslim and Catholics but you omitted the climate activists, environmentalists and political activists to that mix.

I personally don't think governments want a borderless country with one gender, race or religion as they know this is an impossible ask..

We can speak like that here but in other countries they are very locked into their ideology and will never change.

I know you can now declare your own gender, now I hear you can declare your race. So I’ve decided I am a black female lesbian and I have disabilities. Guess I’ll go to work for the government!
