The NEW Soylent Green
A Moses-like figure stands before the mic at an NRA convention and thunders, “I will give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.”
At the end of the sci-fi film Soylent Green, that same actor implores his detective boss to spread the news, “Soylent Green is people!”
In the movie, as the corpses pile up from an overcrowded, miserable earth, they are carted away in garbage trucks, secretly converted to Soylent Green, and fed back to the living. Soylent Green is better than the old Red and Yellow varieties, but it is scarce, so there are riots. A detective played by Charlton Heston discovers the deception. In a word, humanity has become cannibals, feeding upon itself, in a state-sanctioned system of cyclical violence.
Such is the world created by the NRA. It plays upon the irrational fears of a few to continue to thwart common sense gun legislation. Its largely successful lobbying over the years has distorted the original intention of the Second Amendment so much so that it has become almost impossible to pass laws more in keeping with the Founders’ intent.
When the bodies continue to pile up as a result of gun violence, and there is no legislative change primarily due to the lobbying of the NRA and the like, we are in every sense of the word disrespecting the dead and feeding upon ourselves.
In a state-sanctioned system of cyclical violence.
Like in Soylent Green.
And like the movie, the end result is not very pretty.
But go ahead. Watch the news.
Take another bite.

🔥Outrage online is not spontaneous combustion. It'ss trained. Likes reward anger. Feeds teach tone. Networks set volume. Users learn fast what pays & mirror the local weather. In extreme circles outrage becomes ambient, feedback irrelevant. Platforms do not preach morality. They optimize it.
Article explains engine, but not the hunger. It maps reinforcement loops without confronting the existential vacuum that makes outrage such a satisfying currency.

Gizmodo: Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say. “PeakMetrics grabbed a sample of 52,000 posts made on X within the first 24 hours of Cracker Barrel’s announcement that it would be modernizing its logo to an admittedly very plain and generic design. In that timeframe, it found that 44.5% of all mentions of Cracker Barrel were flagged as likely or higher […]

Instead of controlling passions (desire, #moraloutrage/anger), #MeisterEckhart & #CreationSpirituality counsel: Put on the bridle of #love. Don't cut back on the #passion but learn to make it work for you, to take you & the #community into areas where it needs to go. #originalblessing https://bit.ly/3X5SbMD

The US only appears to have a party of the Left because the Right devolved into anti-democratic, authoritarian fascism obedient to the will of their real gods, the Oligarchs.
