Welcome to the Divided States of America… wait… It’s United? Since when?
“Politically Correct” by SR- 71 oh how I love this song and I hate it. Because I tend to lean towards the politically correct side, but it’s got a point, which is something I can respect. It bothers me when people use politically incorrect terms because they choose to be ignorant or for a reaction or for no other reason than to use it. But the song really doesn’t use politically incorrect words, such as racial slurs. It just talks about how everyone is so scared to say anything in case anyone else might feel offended. It also talks about politics in a way that really reflects todays politics “You lean a little to the left or the right but you can only see how’s on your side. A little blind, a little hypnotized.” Which is exactly what happens today, A Republican says an idea and the democratic party vehemently says that it’s not right, but then a Democrat will pose an almost identical idea and the Republican part hates the idea. It’s too divided, republicans wont accept democrat ideas and democrats wont accept republican ideas, it’s sad because it shouldn’t be childish. They’re running our country and all they can do is see who’s on their side. I thought our pointless war was in Iraq, not our own country. But it happens time and time again. Our country is being ruled by children, and it’s not just the democratic side and it’s not just the republican side. It’s both of the sides. They need to think clearly, and I think the best way would be to just drop the titles. Republican, Democrat, Green Party, etc. All just need to be changed to “Independent” why? because they need to think independently for themselves and when you attached yourself to part of a group, you feel obligated to conform with the majority, it’s human nature, it happened everywhere, not just in politics. But if no one was connected to a side and they all had their own ideas they could think for themselves and make the choice they really believe is right, not just the choice they decided 30 years ago when they had to pick a side. People learn, grow, and adapt (it’s a trait of being alive) Maybe someone thinks one way is efficient, but then over time they realize while it’s a great idea in theory, it doesn’t work in reality, or they find a big flaw in it later that they didn’t think of at the time. They should be allowed to change their views, but if you do that you’re no longer part of that side (so it seems anyway). But if everyone was independent, yes, there’d be people who seemed conservative and people who seemed liberal, but if you drop the titles and the “Party” sides, while people still might find a way to group together, it wouldn’t be as powerful as having just two groups constantly battling each other.
At the same time, it’s too late for that, because everyone’s already chosen a side, even if that side’s Independent, and people will still call themselves a Democrat or a Republican even if we drop the titles, because it takes decades for people to change, and other groups will probably form anyway
“So you conform with the best of intention. Change comes from inside. After all that’s what this country was founded on, Do nothing different just fall in line.” and actually it was. While people did escape to America for religious freedom, it was a single religion, a single religion that wasn’t accepting of other religions. (Which is ironic, don’t you think? They leave to freely practice their religion, but they wont let others practice their own religion?) The main point of this is “everyone’s so sensitive to every bad vibration” that is doesn’t let us think for ourselves or speak freely, because if we do we get attacked for being “insensitive” or “politically incorrect” and while I do find it important to be sensitive, at the same time, people can’t always express their own ideas. It takes hours to figure out a sentence that expresses their opinion without sounding insensitive. It’s funny because we’re so “Freedom of Speech” and yet anything we say, we could get sued for. It’s silly. I must say I love this line in the song “There’s nothing I believe in more than my own insignificance, So why does everybody think that my words can make a difference” because it’s true. Unless you’re chased by the paparazzi, what you say really shouldn’t matter, because most of the world isn’t listening and most of the world doesn’t care about you, or me, or my friends or anyone I know. Let me clarify that statement, We’re not rulers, we’re not talking for anyone other than ourself, correct? We should be able to speak our mind and ideas as long as we’re informed about the topic. For example, someone who believes that the holocaust didn’t exist, probably shouldn’t talk about Hitler. But someone who’s a historian who specializes on WWII should be allowed to speak his mind. We don’t have to agree with everyone, but we can’t just attack every word out of someone elses mouth because a random person we don’t even know might be hypersensitive and assume you’re talking about them and they’ve got a lawyer ready to sue you.
It’s just so illogical.
