Thread 'It occurs to me'

Jul 30, 2026

Sooner or later, we're going to have a societal collapse, IMO.

Why do I say this?

Because of the things that leftists promote and the policies they enact when they have the chance.

By that, I mean policies that weaken deterrence, selective non-enforcement, and erosion of equal application of rules have predictably increased disorder.

This follows from basic logic: when the perceived consequences of crime are reduced or eliminated, more of it occurs.

The observation is the core of deterrence theory (specifically general deterrence) in criminology.

It is also known as the economic...

I doubt anyone's phone, internet, or even electricity will be working for long when the crims that lefties coddle are freed from prison and understand that there are no police to stop them from doing whatever they want.

My house circa 1974.

Family sitting around living room TV with a batch of popcorn watching a good movie and casually talking. In 2026 it is a family in living room KIND Of watching a movie while scrolling through facebook with they're laptop on their laps while also texting people while also playing candyland on their phones and getting calls from 10 different people. IF you can even get a family in One room together that is. If you think this is NORMAL you ARE the problem. Most people now have an attention span of maybe 10 seconds. Gee,....what could possibly go wrong.

While people are literally going half blind from staring into some idiotic 3 by 6 inch screen all day and night you are having everything taken from you, Worse yet,....no one even has to take it,...you just GIVE IT AWAY because you are asleep at the wheel staring into the abyss. If this continues, and it will,...I cant even imagine what 10 years from now looks like. Grotesque and sub Human comes to mind.

Yes. But I am here an hour a day,...sometimes not at all. THAT is how this tech should bed used. I also NEVER am here on my phone. I think that's idiotic when I could be on a laptop or PC.

Lastly......my town has an abundance of beautiful parks that have everything. They sit empty for the most part, or have a few elderly out for a stroll.

Say, didn't the Hildebeast order her staff to do that a while back?

Why, yes.

According to FBI documents released in September 2016 from the investigation into her private email server, her aide Justin Cooper (who also worked for Bill Clinton) recalled two instances in which he destroyed Clinton’s old mobile devices “by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer.” Clinton went through multiple BlackBerries. The FBI identified about 13 devices linked to her numbers/email; none were turned over because they could not be located.

Justin, are Y O U @Stone?

*whiff* Righhhhhht over your head!

Totally missed the point, didn't you?

While screen time is a huge problem the biggest one, by far, is extreme gerrymandering.

Extreme gerrymandering gives all the power to the extremes of left and right requiring politicians to compete increasingly to the absolute worst elements of the extremes to get an edge on the other.

Without that and each district having a mix of left, right and independent the politicians have to appeal to more center left or right voters to win.
