why are you starting all of these effing political threads?

Amelinda it's mainly attempt at starting discourse but most people don't want to hear it because they refuse to shatter their delusions.

What I didn't expect was the vile nature of the noise, which seemed to reach a new peak since I have been staying there. Sure I expected the usual fanfare of "get a job hippie" but this seemed to be an intensified dynamic. Something seemed different in the air, and it took on a more hostile tone with a lot more in the way of "fuck you fucking faggots" shouted in pure anger, and in some cases rage. Just after midnight the alcohol fueled heckling seemed nearly constant as I was deciding to leave for the night. It was truly disappointing, and quite frankly disturbing, to see this failure of humanity.

I say disturbing, not because of the words themselves, but where they are coming from. They are coming from pure ignorance and spoon fed impressions handed to them by media, or other outlets designed as a means of control. They seem content on living a life of false comfort while being robbed in plain sight. They live within the bounds of a madness that they are told is freedom. After witnessing this, one would be a fool to underestimate the power of Stockholm Syndrome.

In closing I almost wonder if the reason for their response is a shattering of illusion as they pass by. Perhaps when they see us the drinking is no longer enough to numb the most uncomfortable of truths. Perhaps it is just me and I am the crazy one. Either way stay classy Glenwood South and keep shopping, everything is fine!
