Recently I have found myself wondering how the so called "silent
majority" became so silent. Why are people so afraid to speak up for the
things that Americans once viewed as traditional values? Here's my
conclusion:
The mob inserts race, sexuality, gender, political party, and religion
into every issue. Facts no longer matter. The mob gets to pick the
"right" side. Therefore, people that dissent from the mob or group think
now become labeled by the mob.
Once labeled by the mob - you may be let go from your job, harassed,
boycotted, disowned by family members, thrown out of universities, etc.
The real kicker though? The mob gets to define the rules.
The #metoo
movement only applies to people who are not Joe Biden and the mob (in
fact) does not "believe all women". Wearing masks are vital to the
survival of humanity unless you are looting, rioting, or protesting.
The BLM organization cares about black lives lost by police officers but
apparently not young children in Chicago. Xenophobia is banning travel
from China in a pandemic too early but later being called irresponsible
when the mob decides it wasn't early enough.
Speak up against the mob and you practice fascism but suppression of our
opposing views protects us all from hate speech. Standing for the
national anthem was once an honor to citizens in this country, but do so
now and the mob believes you support systemic racism.
Defending the police is now racist unless city officials, who are
defunding them, need their protection. The mob can threaten the lives of
anyone they want to but you say something they don't like, and you
should be fired.
Do you see how this works? The mob gets to have it BOTH ways, but you
are not longer allowed to use critical thinking skills to decide your
position. When the mob says jump - your ONLY question can ever be how
high - unless you want to be labeled of course.
Dissent from the mob and they WILL turn on you - maybe not today, maybe
not tomorrow - but eventually they will come for you too.
To remain powerful the mob has to control the narrative. To remain
powerful the mob has to scare us into keeping quiet. To remain powerful
the mob has to APPEAR as the majority.
