Everything from the Recent Pro-Palestinian Protests is not Just a Narcissistic Transfer from Students to Teachers (or vice versa). It’s Much Larger in Scope.

One can expect students, I predict 70% have no idea about the back story between Israel and Palestine, to be at the forefront of the protests. A large-scale LARP of the “rebel force” fighting for the oppressed. Yes, … Continue reading Everything from the Recent Pro-Palestinian Protests is not Just a Narcissistic Transfer from Students to Teachers (or vice versa). It’s Much Larger in Scope.

Here is What I Took Away from Watching Mainstream Media During the Iowa Caucus of 2024

I was away from home, meaning I was subject to whatever news channel was offered at the hotel I was staying at. Unfortunately, that channel was CNN. I watched the coverage from early on – which started as a complete fawning over Nikki Haley to the point CNN anchors were convinced she was going to … Continue reading Here is What I Took Away from Watching Mainstream Media During the Iowa Caucus of 2024

A Deeper Understanding of Our Societal Divide Beyond Simple Socio-Political or Socio-Economic Narratives.

Can we all agree that there is a societal divide happening? I would say there is, even though you might not see it on a day-to-day basis. I mean, I got a coffee today and no one asked me what my political views are – or what I think about LGBTQIA+ people.
