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
