The New American Pacifier

If you think all you're hearing in the media is “Wah!” you’re not alone. It appears, when life gets tough, and fails to go thier way, 2020's human adult is content on throwing a fit. We’ve slowly descended to the proverbial cry-baby hell on earth. Let's examine a few examples: Many forgot about 2011 when the one-percent, corporate villains controlled our lives. This narrative caused the 99%-ers to occupy public spaces in order to visually vent their inane frustrations. We were right to ignore them. 

Following that nonsense was the desperate plea to discontinue the use of plastic straws. We were told this .42 grams of fish-killing menace was damaging our climate! Failure to discontinue their usage would cause the planet’s demise in nine years. Oh the humanity. 

The mob panic has become so bad recently, the justice warrior citizen now complains to the police when others a fail to social distance. “They don’t appear to be from the same family-and they’re playing soccer!” one woman told me. My sarcastic eye-roll seemed to ignite her inner child because she stomped off muttering something about my indifference. (I'm going to spare you the current, anti-police elephant in the room that seems to poke his head up every four years or-so).

​​All this justice activism has grown to create a molecular compound of child-like tantrums. No wonder the government mandated face-covering pacifiers.  -RJD
