From work to politics- the "wrench in the works" of a prosperous society is the need for one person or a small group of people to control another group of people. I cannot relate to this peculiar obsession but I'm understanding as I get older that it's at the core of what makes a tyrant or even a bad boss. The leader of any situation in which he or she wants to control everyone is at the heart of tyranny.
In the media you also see a form of control, but much to their alarm, that control seems to be slipping through their fingers. People who read and take a few moments to understand a given situation and then think for themselves will see things for what they are. The media once had full control over what the public saw and then would use that power to "spoon feed" the narrative they wanted. It worked for many years. One could say it's been working since the Kennedy presidency when his murder was covered up and muddled by our government with the help of the media utilizing conspiracy theories and inuendo to prevent the truth from being known. X and other social media platforms have removed "control" from the media and given more to the individual. "You are the media now" is one of Elon Musk's favorite tag lines and I think he's correct. It really doesn't take that long to understand a situation if you try thinking for yourself and asking questions. The "No Kings" protests of this past weekend with all its angst and pronounced worries that we are losing our Democracy is an obvious "straw man" whereby they (and by "they" I mean the "Silent Tyrants" of our society. The ruling elite.) create a boogeyman that doesn't exist and then orchestrate protests against that boogeyman. This works on a lot of people from the ditch diggers to college professors suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" so it's not hard to fill the streets with rabid lunatics. What's missing is any explanation as to what they protest about. During all conversations in the street with the old hippies and the blue haired girls a clear explanation was completely missing. Not once did I hear a reasonable, coherent answer to the question "What are you protesting?" or "In what way has Trump behaved as a King or tyrant?". It was like they were protesting just to protest- like window shopping or strolling through a park. A stroll of sanctimonious screeching old fools and malcontents that cannot accept the consequences of an election they lost.
I will tell you what they were protesting, though. They were protesting their inability to control the narrative of public policy through full control of the media and news. The left has had this luxury for a long time, and it is slipping away very quickly. They have no alternative but violence and feigned outrage over nothing. May this be the beginning of the end for them and the beginning of the rights of mankind as individuals in society being given the respect and dignity they deserve.
The No Kings protesters need not demand the head of the king and an end to the tyranny they've imagined. The Tyrant is right under their nose. It is them.
