24. I'm sorry. Are you saying that because we don't beat sense into our children, we got MAGA?

Because that is actually what MAGATS are saying.

When you yell at and beat children you put them into an amygdala hijack and then they have to fight their lizard brain just to keep from running or fighting back. Their cognitive functions are in the OFF position until the emergency is over.

People of HONOR don't need to be beaten or shot to understand that violence should be the last resort.

PEOPLE OF HONOR UNDERSTAND
That calmly transitioning from one leader to the next can and SHOULD inspire faith in leadership and elections.

Even in 2400 BC leaders with intelligence encouraged calm and rational behavior of those governing. That from a group that has a track record of being off the hook crazy with power and killing slaves at will.

BOTH SIDES DON'T isn't a NEW THING.
We have had some people saying that CALMER HEADS PREVAIL and
Other people saying THEY ONLY LISTEN if you MAKE them since humans could talk.


The problem is, we as humans WILL devolve, if we don't evolve past this crap.
You don't have to make all of society FEAR you to lead. That "works" in the short term, but long term THAT is what creates people reacting in fear and reaching for their guns to "protect" themselves from anything they perceive as other.


MAGA is stuck in CLAN mentality - only trust those you know and who look like you.


Rich people feeding that fear and grooming people like MGT to claim victim-hood in order to stoke the flames of RIGHTEOUS FIGHT in process, grab your gun and protect yourself IS HOW WE GOT MAGAS.


Make no mistake. THERE ARE WAYS TO DELIVER NATURAL CONSEQUENCES FOR DISOBEYING THE RULES OF SOCIETY that follow a calm and logical process.

Some of those, like the death penalty, don't look much different than those of the other side. BUT the way we get there IS.


HOW WE GET THERE COUNTS.
