The Good, The Bad, and The I Dunno

What is good? Does a word actually mean anything if every person you meet defines that word differently? Perhaps it does...to the person defining it this time, but I'm after something a little more definitive. We have all heard that there are extenuating circumstances to each individual event, but none of us seem to particularly care about such things. In fact, most of my time spent on twitter, which, believe me, I would much rather spend talking to you, is devoted to defending myself or others from some nitwit trying to shove their morality up my rump. "If only you had behaved the way I did when I was young," they bellow, as if they possess some secret knowledge that I, and most of the people in the world, who happen to be poor like me, just happened to miss out on. I guess I should have gone to that college seminar on "How To Be A Complete Asshole and Make A Billion Dollars" or the other one I missed out on, "How to Screw Over Your Friends and Family for Your Own Benefit". Yes, the keepers of such wisdom absolutely need huge platforms, and followings. How else would they complain about how lazy poor people are or about how we need to improve people? That is a personal favorite of mine. Everyone seems to be trying to make the world a better place, while trying to change others in the process. Is it a good thing that a bunch of wealthy maniacs who don't even believe in basic decency, or, in the case of brilliant captains of industry like Elon Musk and Kayne West, don't even believe in fifth grade math. These are the people who have been chosen to give us our morals, not because they are kind; no, that's only for poor people. Idiot celebrities are chosen to preach to us about moral behavior because they have a lot of money, and people, like the greedy little bastards they truly are, love money! Fine. You want to listen to some fashion model who weighs ten and a half pounds dole out advice on the health benefits of consuming nothing but spinach smoothies? Be my guest. But don't post your idiocy all over the internet and then pass it off as some profound knowledge. Sometimes these buffoons even find their way on TV. Daytime television is full of psychics, nutritionists, pop psychologists, fake doctors, and preachers; it's basically Texas, but with a functioning power system. How on earth am I supposed to watch the news on the same goddamn channel that featured scam artists such Sylvia Brown, and Miss Cleo? "Well, no one takes those shows seriously", you say, "you're only supposed to watch the real news." Okay, sure jackass. I'm sure listening to Matt Lauer get spiritual advice from a medium, which actually happened on live news, or hearing Tucker Carlson go on yet another racist rant, and then pretend he didn't, is somehow more informative than the Dr. Phil Show. Yeah, these media people are really intelligent, way to smart for me to understand. There's no way they've been compromised by years of endorsements, and hobnobbing with the very people they are supposed to be investigating. That's not a conflict of interest though; I'm just being paranoid. And I know that it has gotten to the point where most Americans refuse to even turn on the news. Just looking at the fried hair, greasy pores, and plastic smiles of these smug dummies can send you to the emergency room, and that's the last place you want to be, seeing as the media has botched the coverage of the pandemic in such a way, that going to a hospital could very well mean certain death. The media loves to pretend as if it is the arbiter of truth, but it often presents mere conjecture as fact in hopes that their viewers will make certain political decisions. That is not news, it is pure partisan politics. Yet the same media, which is quite partisan, does not want you to be partisan. So, they have made it a kind of badge of honor to be balanced and fair to every outright racist they meet. Let's cut down the media manipulation on More Content Talk.
