I had to take some time off after the incident that happened last week. Usually, I try not to talk about current even. Of all my writings in 2020, I didn’t talk about covid-19 once, but this event happens to be a personal interest of mine. Reminds my of Eminem’s comeback album, Kamikaze, a lot of the media was talking about something I was already interested in. Obviously I’m not alone as they both have tens of millions of followers, and it’s hard to figure out what happened. I don’t mean what took place that day, but rather why do I feel effected, when I stop watching someone’s content they’re gone anyway like it’s the same thing. Norm Mcdonald was a big inspiration for me and one day he was suddenly gone, I still watch his videos. When talking to a lot of friends they expressed anger over the situation and I felt that too, perhaps over how unfair it. I had been sharing a video of a speech from Oxford, to exemplify how this was one of the best speakers America, and the world, had to offer. He was also outspoken of his Christianity, which media doesn’t like people talking about Jesus. Jordan Peterson is another intellectual I’ve been a fan of for years, but he’s unwilling to call himself a Christian, to me that’s where he falls short. There’s a danger to preaching Jesus in public, that’s part of what I’m processing. Everyone needs to be accepting of everything, except when a person shares Christian views, then they’re a problem and it’s never been more obvious than now. Seeing as America was founded on Christian ideals and the settlers were saved by following the Bible, those views have been tested and proven.
