WHEN OTHERS LACK COMMON SENSE

WE WILL NEVER FIND COMMON GROUND, COMMONALITY WITHOUT COMMON CULTURE AND COMMON VALUES. ERGO, WHAT YOU THINK IS COMMON SENSE IS NONSENSE TO THOSE WHO DON’T SHARE YOUR CULTURAL VALUES. THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT'S "REASONABLE"

I have been thinking about the radical mess we see around the nation right now. People rioting, tearing down monuments, burning buildings, killing cops, protesting and all sorts of lawlessness. It seems like a breakdown of common sense.

Recently I asked a question about observed cultural differences and some people lost their minds. They seem to thing that simply asking what seems uncommon to me is somehow wrong.

I have come to the conclusion that if we don’t have commonality we won’t see common sense in other people. What other folks think is important to them is completely unimportant to me. And vice versa. We lack common ground so we can’t come to common ground. We can’t create COMMUNITY. Common Unity is the extracted word.

So when I say, “Show some common sense” people who don’t share the common values and common culture I manifest won’t grasp what I am saying. There is common courtesy. You don’t do many of the things we see today in cultures outside of the one I embrace. It is kind to be courteous; it is unkind to try to be nice, accommodating and fawning to try to maintain superficial commonality.

This is why the idea that we should accept radical cultures like the radical Muslims in our country and think we have anything in common with people who think genital mutilation, beheading and hatred for our nation that is rampant among many is insane. We have nothing in common with this kind of culture. Sure of course there are nice people who are Muslim.. but they have embraces a culture that is more like. I have no acceptance of Radical right wing cultures who are neo Nazis or KKK. They lack common sense. Yet many accept and even embrace an insane culture from the left that uses race as a keystone to impose control. Our national culture is in trouble.

IF you are OK with what is happening, if you are OK with people accepting violence on the street, if you are OK with violent protests against ideas, if you are OK with cultural collapse as we see in our nation, if you are OK with tearing apart the fabric of our national historical foundation, if you are OK with the hate from the far left in our nation, we won’t come to a common understanding.

One of us is lacking common sense, at least as I see it. If you believe the cultural commonality you so piously defend is common sense.. It’s not, from where I sit.
