The Screaming Truth

If you read or watch carefully, you will come across snippets and wholesome tiny corners of the internet. A place where you get to know that a bunch of school children have invented seed bombs which can be thrown anywhere to germinate into green patches. A teenage girl who realised that restaurants serving full glasses of water at every single table, end up wasting a lot of it by throwing it away because patrons drink a small amount and don't finish the full glass. So she came up with a solution. What is the solution? Why don't you do your own searching and find out? Not gonna spoon-feed anyone here.

No you won't go and search. I know what you are thinking. "Abey tune article likha hai, sources cite karna chahiye na. Hum kyu jaake search kare?"

I know what you prefer instead. Another teenage girl who screams at adults and points fingers at them and tells them how horrible they are for not leaving a "perfect" Earth for her. And she instigates other students to skip classes and block roads for "protesting" how adults are irresponsible climate-change-deniers. Apart from staging protests, appearing evverywhere with a grumpy and angry face, and screaming at people - what has she achieved? Nothing! In the meantime, a bunch of similar aged people are actually doing some real actions to leave a better planet for their children. They too don't like that the past generations have been irresponsible, but they don't need to skip classes and create a scene.

They create awareness. But nobody knows who they are.

A person faced death threats in her own country and was given asylum in another country. Her whole family was given citizenships, the person and her siblings received good education. She herself eventually received the Nobel Peace Prize! What does she do now? She screams on social media about a completely unrelated country and its internal affairs. Not her birth country  not her current country - a completely different one whose majority religion is not her own so she thinks anything and everything they do is wrong and she has a right to scream because - Nobel Peace Prize winner. Us plebians have no right to defend ourselves against a total stranger commenting half baked nonsense about what happens in our country.

Sometimes, social media does show regular common people and their achievements. People who grew entire forests and ecosystems in their village. People spending their retirement payout for rehabilitating and feeding the needy. Medical professionals providing free healthcare.

They are all proof of one thing - silently acting and making a difference. Someone lost their job during the pandemic but they still donated towards providing food and grains to poor people who have not only lost an income source but may not even have a home. Corporate level employees at least have some investment to fall back on, friends who support, maybe some asset to sell just to tide over the unemployment period. What happens to those who live on daily wages? So these people don't care about no longer having a salary, they contribute what little they can to the society.

What goes around, comes around eventually.

Notice how I refuse to say names? Yeah! One reason is to avoid controversy. Another is to compel people to think. Think what you are getting exposed to.

Virtue signaling. Hypocrisy. Hate mongering. Disinformation campaigns.

All these things have one common factor. The proponents of all this negativity are always screaming and ranting. The one who screams loudest is given the crown of public applause. They sit on the throne of social media celebrity and order their minions around to do their bidding.

These people are a problem to the society. I don't know when we will realise it! Their hidden agendas undermine anything and everything positive and progressive that keeps happening in the world.

These are the type of people responsible for encouraging the "cancel culture." You don't like what that famous writer said on her tweet? Let's cancel them. Ban all their books and movies. Troll their social media. Send them death threats.

Explain this - the famous author doesn't have freedom of expression to express an unpopular opinion, but you have the freedom to send death threats? Really!

There was that early stage when internet trolls were considered the bad people. Now trolls have suddenly become witty, trendy, influencers. Trolling someone is now an "in" thing. Destroying someone's entire career and reputation for one controversial opinion is a "woke" thing to do. I wonder what all those legal systems which governments make are for? If a tweet was that bad, why not take the person to court and do things legally? Naah! They didn't really do anything illegal, did they now? There is an element of truth to what they said. It just doesn't agree with your opinions and perspectives so you will scream and scream till that author and their work is totally destroyed. A work which may not even be connected to this controversial opinion which they hold.

Yes, that's the world we are leaving for the next generation. It might be greener (hypothetically), it might be cleaner, it might be healtheir (physically) - but we have created a society of real life trolls who are capable of destroying individuals, communities, philosophies, governments. Just because it doesn't agree with what they think is right. And the virtue signallers will let these trolls thrive because they don't want to be unpopular.

So there should be no diversity. We choose a dictatorship of a hypocrite kind. At least the traditional dictators were proud of their tyranny. The current ones wear the garb of harbingers of change, while screaming at anyone who doesn't fall in line with their thinking.

Well, if Ellen can pretend for so long to be this sun-shiny and affable person while really being total opposite, I guess anything can happen. Yes, I mentioned Ellen. So go sue me - or cancel my blog. Not like it makes any difference.

Nobody reads good things anyway. Nobody reads. And I am not on YouTube.
