@amarillis4710 @IBATwit2 @WallStreetSilv Sadly, it would persist. The problem is fueled by mental health issues with deep roots in people's upbringing.
As natural sexual expression is inhibited people grow up to develop all types of perversions to the point that an entire black market industry has formed around them.
@andyypants@88CAMINO@HowThingsWork_ It's a good way to lose a finger.. and you're right, I'm already feeling a little dizzy after just watching it for a minute. Imagine having to be the one doing it for hours on end.
@YostHager@ChuckCallesto@KhlobiKittae As humans we evolved an ability to solve problems socially rather than individually.
Those who established the modern educational system knew this and they fed children an "us vs them" group-based ideology to create these types of polarized situations.
It's "divide & conquer."

It's not your job to worry about what others think. Your job is to care about what you think.
If everything is alright within you, you're free. No need to involve yourself in others' affairs. They can look after themselves.
@KeithOlbermann I am against violence, but anyone who stops to think for 2 minutes realizes that guns are not the problem. Guns are just tools used by humans. The problem is humans can be violent.
That doesn't justify taking guns away from regular people who want to protect their families.
@KEriksenV2 Media and education have been conditioning people to promote division: corporate greed on one side, "progressive" values on the other side.
Behind closed doors both work together to implement a "divide and conquer" strategy so that people won't unite against the ruling elitists.
@Wise1Philosophy This would be a lot more impressive if we forgot that literally every dog in the world is a descendent of the wolf.
There is a reason why alchemical symbolism uses the lion to depict things like fire, gold and dangerous substances like vitriol..
@AlanWattsQuot Dropping resistance has worked since the beginning of time. When we stop holding ourselves down, we spring up to a level of awareness where we can finally see the solution.
@TRHLofficial It needs to include something like a strong beacon communicating your exact location and vital signs, so you can be found, rescued and treated (if necessary) as quickly as possible.
Otherwise it's just a slow death.
@DocAhmadMalik Two important things to remember:
1. The mind works by association
2. There are more things going on daily than a single human mind can process
If we dwell on the same things, we'll keep finding new things associated with them.
We have to stay balanced and flexible in thought.
@EssentialMastry The ability to see beyond appearances and think for ourselves. If something flashy shows up we take the bait right away.
At the same time we always support "our own", rather than supporting all people. We look to leaders and fail to take the initiative..unconscious mob mentality.
@deaflibertarian You've been controlled from within for many years.
Now more and more people are becoming aware of it. So the controllers are slowly becoming like cornered wild animals.
“People do not see that the main question is not: "Am I loved?" which is to a large extent the question: "Am I approved of? Am I protected? Am I admired?" The main question is: "Can I love?”
