Protest: the god of This Age.

Posted on April 27, 2024 by Scatcatpdx

Warning this video is not for kids,

I was thinking about the Free Palestine protest when I saw this post on Twitter. What is bothersome to me about this video, the Free Palestine protester, is the irrational hate and fever of the young protesters. It reminds me of the Black Lives Matter and subsequent riots,

Pundits I listen to say that the millennial generation aka the Nones are the least religious generation. I now disagree Millennials are not less religious, but their god is irrational anger, their sacrament is protest, their church is Social Media. Perhaps as one Lutheran Minister, who quipped on the fever of hate, has calls it   satanic.

This is not to say we cannot rationally debate our points about the Gaza War but what is going on today is something different.

I agree with Robinson about its time to tun off the TV.

For the record I do not think Israel had any choice. Cease fire in the past only allow Hamas to reequip then attack Israel. War is ugly but sometime there is no choice.

Threads I Just say no.

Posted on July 13, 2023 by Scatcatpdx

I was looking for reports, why Twitter is blocking me and others from viewing linked tweets without login in or creating an account, I was bombarded with post (I swore every major news was running the same attack story) about Meta new Threads app, and the app will be a Twitter Killer.

Threes no way I would Twitter account Even People I respect like the pundit Terry Mattingly call for us to support voices on Twitter, He is dead wrong.  Twitter is a cesspool of narcissistic intolerant trolls. It is why months ago I deleted my Twitter Account. Furthermore, short post media like Twitter was an echo chamber from immature generation not worthy to be called adults. Now they want me to follow them on Threads for the censorship ridden echo chamber because they do not like Muck opening twitter to all voices. I do not think so.

Because of my friend’s experience with Facebook, I will no longer post political posts on Facebook; why should I cast my pearls among the swine.

I do not make and idle threat if Facebook flags this post I got your IP address Facebook; This is an independent server I can read the logs and slap you with an IP block.

On the Matter of Voting and Get Out the Vote Post.

Posted on November 5, 2022 by Scatcatpdx

You are free to vote for who every you want regardless any of the get out the vote post; you are free to vote straight Democrat or Republican or in-between.

To my fellow Christians, voting is a matter of adiaphora, that is matters of indifferent; there is no scriptural basis to impose a duty to vote or vote for certain candidate or political party on the right or left. When there is a conflict between the candidate and their beliefs, abstaining from voting is a valid option. Finally abstaining from voting is a valid and well within one right to free speech. No person has a right to impose a duty to vote.

Radom Thoughts on Elon Musk Owing Twitter

Posted on October 29, 2022 by Scatcatpdx

What fools these mortals be.

One week ago; Conserves Twitter is a public * utility and we must break up big ** tech like Twitter. Twitter censorship is a threat to democracy.

Liberals: Twitter is a private company and has a right to determine who post on Twitter.

After Friday

Conservatives: Elon bought Twitter, freedom, and democracy.

Liberals: Twitter is a threat to democracy.

*  Public ___________ (example public space public utility), an erroneous method by liberals and now conservatives to arbitrary redefine  private property to justify government regulations.

** Big: a subjective pejorative assign to justify greater government regulation and infringement of private property. Examples are BIG Tech, BIG pharma.

To me leadership was a problem but not the problem; the problem is Twitter. First, I think it impossible to have a coherent and thoughtful discussion in a maximum of 250 characters. Trump Tweets and trolls for example. Second, Twitter seems to bring out the worst in people.
