Not enough

     This is a follow-up on yesterday.  What happened was Tara said a beautiful thing about the afterlife from both religious and non-religious perspectives and I tried to compliment by saying I think she's saved/I refuse to believe in a God that would condemn her and she didn't like it.  While it was probably just like if someone said Krishna/Brahma will reincarnate me well to either of us, it touched on an old wound; I don't feel I can do enough when faced with our world today.  My religion is being known more for harm than good, the sportswriters are ignoring the capacity of the Mariners, a lot of entertainment I invested in is going places I could not agree with and it seems everyone only cares about being "meme-famous"/"internet-famous" rather than creating something meaningful and long-lasting.  I feel obsolete, out of date, like my best days of entertainment will be done after Dolly Parton, Artimus Pyle and Judas Priest's next albums come out and I see Godzilla Minus One and everything will sink into ripoff concepts, AI or mindless sequels trying to recapture lighting and failing.  There is nothing I can do, and taking it into my own hands means going on my own by watching and experiencing old media, because the new is fickle and chases trends.

 

    I remember in 2016 I tried to steer Michael Sweet of the Metal band Stryper away from Trump because he was following me because I tweeted him by tweeting all the horrible warnings I could.  Despite this, he still said it was okay for the monster to say "grab them by the [vagina]."  I stopped following him and actually blocked him when January 6th happened, knowing he'd obliviously support it or misunderstand.  I've removed the block since then, but I am still really angry at his blithe ignorance and support of that monster.  Honestly, "blithe ignorance" describes most conservatives right now, they don't listen to music or people who aren't an echo chamber, so they don't know anything about anything.  This is now the biggest threat to the world, and I can't do anything against it.  I can't do enough.
