They can kiss my ass so hard they'll need a whole tube of Chap-Stik.

The media and the internet are just propaganda machines that are shooting at both sides at the same time, with us in the middle.
Of course they are. That's a given, visible to anyone willing to look. The fact remains, however, that I still believe one should defend oneself from attacks rather than just laying down and dying, regardless of who set the attack dogs on them, or how they did it.
Just because they are playing both ends against the middle doesn't mean we all have to huddle up in the middle and sigh, saying "oh well. Here they come. We're all doomed. Might as well just lay there and take it."

Controlling both sides of the battle makes sure that you win the war.
True enough, but the problem is they don't want two sides, they want us all to get on one side, the same side, the woke side. That's why there even IS a war to begin with.
The truth is, I don't care if someone else is "woke" or "asleep", I don't care if they are Left or Right, I don't care if they try to put their pants on both legs at the same time in the morning. I don't care who they are, what they believe, what they do, or how they live. It only becomes MY problem when they try to force their culture on me, and think they can make me like it. They can't - but they can sure take a lump or two every now and then for trying.
If they can manage to manage their own life as they see fit, and leave me alone to manage mine as I see fit, then they're all good in my book, no matter how else they choose to live.
