Consequently, this admission also comes with a realisation: this is a manifestation of the last decade. Prior to that, as a person, I was pretty chill, but not so laid back as to be oblivious.
As to my intolerance? Put bluntly, stupidity, lies, manipulators, shills and propagandists. Basically every form of Mainstream Media today.
By extension it has infected film, television, music, arts, radio - anything that has a wide public appeal and audience.
Let me be clear, this is my own personal point of view. But this is also something I see, and experienced - those of a differing opinion to the narrative are reviled, hounded, ostracised, insulted, accused, threatened, and even, in some cases, assaulted. Just for having a differing opinion.
That should never be.
All this has turned me into an intolerant individual — intolerant of being lied to, manipulated, and treated as intellectually disposable.
I feel it's also a form of 'awakening' - not that I've ever really been one of those 'sleep walkers', head buried in social media, glued to MSM, believing everything we are told, obeying every dictate by the ones placed to rule over us.
No. Thank God I've always walked with open eyes and an open mind. I have never, ever, taken anything at face value from the moment I hit my 30s - the decade I began to notice certain shifts within society. Very subtle to begin with, but they were definitely there. The planting of the seeds of our future society began in the mid-late 90's. The result being what we live today.
I find that I rarely enjoy watching anything on the streaming platforms - note I say "rarely". Some little gems do rise to the surface once-in-a-while. But for the most, it's just glib, formulaic, trash that seeks only to push societal trends - and not the good kind. They lack intellect, sincerity, heart and conscience. Anyone with a decent mind recognises very quickly what they are watching is brain-dead garbage.
Docudramas filled with fake people leading fake lives watched by braindead masses. Programs that are supposed to portray 'real life', but become rapidly apparent they are reading from a script - that's how 'real' they are. Films and series that don't just encourage suspension of disbelief, but actively encourage the bludgeoning of it to death.
Just a small sample of what I've become intolerant towards. Many will cite my generation as being the issue, and that I'm "out of touch". Of course I am - that's what allows me to view everything through a different lens, from outside the box, to think, critique, analyse, deconstruct and formulate my own opinion.
It's a survival instinct. It's in all of us. We are born with it. Sadly, modern life has been designed and manipulated in such a way as to bypass that instinct, and detach individuals from it. In its place lurks the deadly duo - the mobile phone and social media.
Next time you walk down the street, or drive through your local neighbourhood, take time out to observe, watch those who walk past you, or you drive past. You will be witness to what I am saying. time and time again, people with no connection to the real world, oblivious of what is around them, just utterly absorbed in that device held in their hand. That thing is their controller and their addiction - their anchor to a false world full of lies, and pretence, laced with dopamine hits to keep them hooked.
I am intolerant to that and everything it represents. I am a free-thinking individual.
The question isn’t whether you agree or disagree with me — it’s whether you’ve ever stopped to question what you’re being fed. Have you?
Here is Talk Talk and their track: "It's My Life" (Extended Mix).
