Tunnel Vision Advocacy

White supremacy is on the rise in westernized countries and it is causing serious problems that have no just cause.  The legal systems are not doing much about the rise in hate groups and their basis for their lethargy is freedom of speech clauses in constitutions that guide lawmaking and law enforcing.  This is a wicked joke and it needs to stop.  Freedom of speech that leads to hate-filled demonstrations and massacres should not be legal.  Contemporary society has yet to evolve to a politically correct standard that is not too raunchy or overzealous.  That is, allowing white supremacy in the first place should be banned and the individuals who makeup these strange cults should be given the option of coming into society and joining the rest of us without the disgusting patterns of thinking or be exiled to correctional facilities.  When the hate within these groups is examined, none of the trains of thought make sense.  Most of the hateful beliefs are rooted in extremely bizarre ideations that are not even close to being true.  Claims that the Holocaust was faked, Jewish people are trying to take over the world, Muslims are all terrorists, and that there is some strange conspiracy to weed out Caucasians in the world are guiding these idiotic and, unfortunately, lethal practices.  The recent mass shooting in New Zealand is an example of this.  The man who went to the Mosques in New Zealand was living in a world that included all these delusional beliefs and, eventually, they led to the deaths of innocent people at a place that is supposed to have respect from everyone in society – a place of worship. 

From a government standpoint, freedom of speech includes not believing in religion and being vocal about it, but where is the line drawn?  What happened to the structured debates between religious people and non-religious people?  What happened to the eloquent discussions between individuals from opposing religious denominations?  What happened to the respect that was given even when vast differences were apparent?  Rather than focusing on issues like this, government bodies go right to gun control and do not administer notions about equality or having basic respect for human beings of all walks of life wholeheartedly.  Gun control certainly helps in these strange altercations that are formulated by white supremacists, but the underlying issue is the hatred and disrespect that, in many cases, is complete nonsense and rooted in very poor human behaviors after the onset of the nonsense beliefs.  You can take away all the guns in the world, pass laws that restrict white supremacists and other hate-filled people from acquiring the lethal utilities, but the hate and blatant disrespect will still be there – and so will other forms of lethal destruction.  Dealing with the root causes that leads to the use of firearms by these idiot people may be an approach that should be implemented by our government leaders.  Yet, desires for being champions on gun control appears to be what they are fixated on.  To hell with this!

           Celebrities and an array of social justice advocates are stirring the pot as well by not expressing the utmost tolerance and respect for the differences in human beings.  Again, it is tunnel vision on gun control.  It appears as if the political leaders, celebrities, advocacy groups, and law enforcers are leading the charges that suggests that white supremacy and other hate groups are acceptable as long as they are not reckless with firearms.  To hell with this too!  To stop mass shootings, other hateful demonstrations, and, simply put, poor thinking, there needs to be a resistance toward the perverse thinking patterns that cause these messed-up actions by white supremacists and the alike.  It is not just X causes Y, it is X, X, X, X causes Y, Y, Y, Y.  Any reasonable social scientist will tell you the same thing.  Here, it is simpler than you may think:  Bizarre belief systems, hateful thinking, non-realistic understandings of history, and blatant disrespect toward the differences in others causes hateful behaviors, social division, fear, and extremely violent crime.  You cannot solve this cause and effect problem with only gun control.  That is a fact. The sooner you understand this, the better our world will be.  Talking to you, political leaders, law enforcers, celebrities, and advocacy groups.
