Put Simply Half The People You Know Are Below Average

 I say that because it is one of those strange things - are half your friends average below or above average?  Mmmmm???

It's a bit like these bandied about words these days "Right Wing" and "Far Right Wing" as well as "Denier" and so on.  I'm apparently a far right bigot and a supremacist using my tendencies to oppress others.

So, if you know me, you'll probably recognize that I am certainly not a socialist nor am I beholden to that style of collectivism they practice.  But, that is not to say that I do not sympathise with the plights of people and want to be able to help.  In fact, I find the injustice of the modern day wokerati difficult to fathom.  These "be nice" brigade people are anything but and by disagreeing with them, it certainly means that I am far-right, of course it does, in their keyboard warrior basement lifestyle.

I wonder if this means that half of the people I know are angels and the other devils or perhaps some are nice and the others are evil?  Is that really so?  I know some dreadfully wet liberal types and some dyed in the wool socialists and as long as we don't talk politics they seem nice enough to have a beer with.  I find them misinformed, not particularly gifted at debate and also a bit loose when it comes to delivering factual information and applying logic and reasoning to matters of the day.

But, I don't call them far left or bigots or anything else.  I feel a little bit sorry for them and I certainly dislike them when they argue very loudly and shout at me.  It is totally unnecessary - that's not debate, that's shutting down debate.  These people feel that it is acceptable that people who hold different opinions to them should be banned from say, X (formerly Twitter) and yet they are advocates of free speech!  Well, free if you think like them.  They cannot be challenged on their views but they can challenge you as long as you don't answer back. I say challenge they are likely to launch a pile on attack with streams of abuse but no substance.

It's the very thing they despise, bullying.  They hate it but enjoy participating in it against others.  There doesn't seem to be any cognisance that they are behaving like this at all.  It's worrying that they do not have that built in switch that warns their brains that they are behaving in exactly the way that they themselves hate. 

So perhaps there are people below average out there?  It would be great if they could grow up and we could all be human again.  I really don't know what has gotten into people these days.
