In the wild west of social media, where self-expression trumps common sense, we’ve entered a curious era of oversharing. It’s as if the anonymity of the web has peeled away, replacing screen names with real identities. People, who still feel the urge to opine on every conceivable subject, now do so with far more gusto and zero foresight. Take, for example, the baffling response to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Instead of respectful mourning, some folks choose to post disturbing videos from the comfort of their cars, celebrating the event with a gleeful malevolence. It’s enough to make one’s head spin.
The internet mob, driven by what seems like a pathological need for attention, is quick to flaunt their darkest thoughts for all to see. One wonders, have they forgotten employers also have Wi-Fi? Evidently so, as these viral revelations often lead to swift job terminations. The surprise on the faces of these newly unemployed individuals is a sight to behold—shocked expressions that say, “Who knew glorifying violence could have consequences?” It’s reminiscent of a toddler realizing crayons aren’t for eating.
Yet, this phenomenon of contempt isn’t confined to your average Joe with a smartphone. Disturbingly, it stretches into professions one would hope to be grounded in rationality. Teachers, doctors, even superintendents—these are not positions held by faceless internet trolls but by individuals entrusted with education and care. If this isn’t a clarion call for re-evaluating who shapes young minds and provides medical care, what is?
As if this weren’t alarming enough, we see this bias echoed in their gatherings. The American Federation of Teachers is reportedly hosting a seminar titled “Teachers Against Fascists.” It’s a curious choice of theme when one side seems so keen on slapping labels rather than discussing civility. When nearly half of a liberal crowd considers political violence acceptable, one has to wonder who is learning from whom.
In this digital age of exposure, it seems the left’s penchant for name-calling and finger-pointing has been hoisted on their own petard, revealing a troubling tolerance for violence. But fear not, dear reader, for there’s a silver lining. At least now their virtues, or lack thereof, are plainly visible for all—including potential employers—to see. It seems that while the left debates cultural sensitivity, they might want to start with a lesson in cause and effect.
