If up or down votes bother you, then have some serious issues. You need to re examine your priorities. Maybe posting on social media is not good for you. You have too fragile of an ego if you get upset that someone disagrees with you. Life if full of people who disagree with you. If you can't handle it, then you need help. I'm sure this comment will get a ton of down votes, but I don't care. They don't bother me because I'm not fragile. I live in the real world and understand that what people think of something I write doesn't really make a difference my life.
I really hope you are not in the majority, otherwise this world is doomed.
As I replied to the other comment, I simply searched a family member's name. I didn't really understand the results because they're not like regular search engines. I clicked on the first one and I just saw a LOT of very underage pics. I freaked out and immediately closed the browser. I was shocked that it was so easy to accidentally come across those things.
Thanks for your comment. I searched a name. I'm not going to post the name but it's not a famous name. It's a family member. The pics were of severely underage kids. I would love to tell authorities, but idk how you do that without looking guilty of something. I'm just totally shocked that it's so easy to find those things, even when you're not looking for them.
Chances are, most people wouldn't know about anything outside of their small circle if it weren't for articles. The article is just a beginning. The article brings your attention to something. Then it's your responsibility to research what it says and determine how true it is. I prefer to think of an article as a hypothesis. Usually there are several facts that lead to a hypothesis. The job is then to determine the validity of the facts and see if the hypothesis holds up to further scutiny.
But don't lose the list. Losing the list would be bad. We'll need to keep the list in a safe place.
The plan has been in motion for a long time. Abolish the police. Decriminalize theft and vandalism. Let millions of people cross over the border with no system of accountability. Call anyone a racist or Hitler who says something that was perfectly normal 10 years ago. Print trillions of dollars that cause inflation while blaming it on greedy businesses and individuals. There are tons of other examples that I don't have time for. All of these cause major instability. Then when total chaos is at hand and people start rising up, the federal government will declare an emergency and use force to control the population. The COVID controls were just a trial run. They found that they could get enough people to go along with absolutely unconstitutional power grabs, and make anyone making any sense look like a conspiracy nut.
