Not everything is a lie

Why is it than when people see there's a problem with one thing then there must be a problem with everything. The far right and the far left are particularly open to this mindset. This mindset is also prevalent amongst many of the people who speak out against the lunatics on the left and right who are stifling debate. Many of these I strongly admire.

The conspiracy theories are many. Some are true. But once they find a whole in the fabric of reality many more wholes open up.
The government has lied to us about one thing. Therefore they must lie about everything!
They have totally messed up brexit therefore there must be a dark plot that we don't know about.
The trans movement is about trying to destroy the family.
Putin is not a bad guy. We're trying to frame him.
And the best one is climate change. Yes world governments and the rich elite are money worshipping pricks especially ours. But that doesn't mean that the thousands of scientists are lieing about climate change. Nutters like Jeremy Corbyns brother- Piers- to Nigel Farage.
And then there's others who I strongly admire like Candace Owens who fall into this mindset as well. The elite lie so everything they say is lies.
Myself I don't believe a thing politicians tell me but I tend to believe experts in a chosen field. If a credible intelligent expert tells me that brexit will be bad or that climate change will be terrible I'm not arrogant to think I know better than they do.

I can't remember where I read this and I may be paraphrasing here but here goes
" a conspiracy theory is a way for the unintelligent to sound intellectual,".

I tend to agree with John Cleese on what is wrong." The older I get the more I realise that no one in authority has a clue what they are doing".

The only thing I do know is this. There is no grand plan by some global elite. The rich are rich through greed and luck. The hear all and end all is money. It comes before everything , even our home. There is no George Soros like character manipulating the world to mould it to his desire.
Life is nothing more than a sequence of events. But sadly we allow the greedy and arrogant to dominate many of these events.

Stop falling for their distractions. There manufactured conspiracies. While we are all talking about the illuminati, brexit, hidden agendas, flat earth, fake moon landings, 911 etc. The rich and greedy are taking more and more of us . They aren't planning it that way -I honestly cant see them having the intelligence- They are just greedy opportunists

For the young

Anyone who has read this blog will know that  I'm no fan of many aspects of the modern way of thinking. There's far to much political correctness. There's far to many people deliberately looking to get offended. There's just so much judgement of others who think differently to yourself.

There is so much virtue signalling on social media, that's why I don't do social media at all. Its a shame because these platforms can be so good in changing the world. They can however be used far to often for building social bubbles for yourself and others who think just like you.

I could spend hours writing about all that's wrong with the world and especially this country. But what's the point . Open most media either digital or print and you can read all about it.

I'm an environmentalist. I'm a vegan - who often relapses back to vegetarian and I'm a minimalist. I'm also a 54 year old man who is disgusted by my generation and the selfishness that seems to define it. This country is now full of midlife crisis men and women who care very little about anything but themselves. Its all about the car; the house and all the other possessions that they think they need and screw the next generation.

I've been critical myself of many of the younger generation. I've said they need a reality check. That the world does not work like they want it to.

Well I was wrong. Who am I or anyone else to criticise them for not wanting to belong to the world that I know.

If they want to be woke.
If they want 73 genders.
If they take offence at things that my generation doesnt.
If they wish to live their lives in social media . That's up to them.

With all this also comes respect for each other. Respect for the planet. Respect for animals.
You don't have all the answers. Your young and idealistic.
BUT, your coming from a better starting place than my generation. You have a better grounding than my generation and my peers. Don't make our mistakes and try not to make new ones.

This is your world now. I think you may actually treat it better than we did.
Good luck.
