Just because the rest of society embraces cancel culture, it doesn't mean that PatNetters have to as well.

Vomit your bile, apologize, and now that's it's largely out of your system, you can continue.

The last 4 years have been immensely trying for everyone who hasn't been conditioned to be a robot slave. PatNetters are contrarians, so I guess we expect a certain diversity of opinion. I believe @Patrick is trying to preserve that, but it's up to us as well to keep the fire.

Many times it's just better to state your point and then walk away for a while. Don't be that guy who feels compelled to respond ad infinitum because "SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET!"

PatNet has been an incredible resource for me over the past, shit, almost 25 years. I've had my adventures to the end of sanity and back with all the bullshit that's happened and continues to happen in this broken world. What keeps me somewhat tenuously still tethered is the fact that the younger generations need me, not as a meme lord, but as a father and perhaps someday a grandfather.

It is all too easy to forget the patience that one learns when having to care for young children. Is not Patience the first quality of love as described in Corinthians 13:4-8?

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

I have a hard time not being angry about the jab mandates, especially because of the emotional manipulation used to turn the majority against sane people who didn't want to take it, and because there has not been the slightest apology or admission of wrongdoing, even though it killed millions.

I struggle with a great rage and anger myself about that - I've remarked on other threads that even though we never took the vax, it still affects our health wrt shedding and the fact that the blood supply is completely contaminated.

It's the Curse of Cassandra - you know exactly what's coming, you warn to no avail. You are reviled for spreading conspiracies and misinformation.

It might be a delusion, but Patience is the salve that helps me, the delusion being that, as the saying goes, "Men go mad in crowds, but come to their senses one by one." Given 4 billion took the clot shot, we're in for a long wait.

I have hope that the wait won't be all that long. All we need is for one really honest country to document the harms and ban that shit.

Maybe Japan will do it.
