Back in the day under the evening streetlights chasing moths and tag were fun games to play
This was before the games of today that have evolved into drive by shootings, car jackings and running from pepper spray
Kids played with other neighborhood kids because that is what one did
Now the new norm is a kid has to pass muster according to a new set of rules and if not fun is not allowed God forbid
It appears the last two generations of parents have fallen for the social media trap of gaslighting
According to new schools of thought it’s not okay to voluntarily form friendships based on personality, they must be initially approved or sparks will be igniting
Social media has assumed the lofty perch of supreme ruler and they alone can approve, intimidate, badger, shame, dox or slander at will
Find a person that doesn’t toe the line, speaks their mind, or bow to some pompous tyrant and social media closes in for the kill
The term gaslighting originated from a British stage play and a film starring the scheming Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman as the new bride and her foray into near insanity
Footsteps in the dark, missing pictures, and gaslights dimming were all orchestrated by Boyer’s greed and toxicity
Fast forward from 1944 and social media has become the new poisonous Gaslight featured actor
Differ in thought or speech and the wrath of social media will be unleashed as you would be considered a socialist detractor
Wheather it’s the mainstream news, social media, or instiution, pick one pick all they’re coming for your independence
So put down your phone, close that laptop, and turn off the boob tube before you find yourself meekly answering “here” advising the leftist government you’re in attendance
