Normalization of Violence

Crime Rates in the U.S.

During a debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, the moderator, David Muir, refuted Trump's claim that crime is on the rise by stating that the FBI reports indicate a decrease in crime. However, this claim seems to contradict the reality experienced by many Americans. Instances of shoplifting, drugstore theft, and carjacking have become increasingly common, painting a picture of a country where crime is endemic and respect for person and property is diminishing.

Questioning Government Statistics

The credibility of data from federal agencies, including the FBI, is often questioned. Critics argue that these statistics are manipulated to present a favorable picture that supports the regime. This skepticism extends to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Commerce Department, which have been accused of disseminating misleading information for years. Despite official reports, many believe that the country has not fully recovered from the economic impact of lockdowns, and societal trust has significantly declined.

New Crime Data

Contrary to the FBI's claims, new data from the National Crime Victimization Survey shows an increase in urban violent crime. The rate of violent crime in urban areas has increased by 40% from 2019 to 2023, and excluding simple assault, the rate has risen by 54%. This suggests that higher crime rates have become the new norm in America's cities. However, the report avoids mentioning the lockdowns, focusing instead on the "post-George Floyd protests".

Political Division and Violence

The political division in the country is becoming increasingly concerning, with instances of assassination attempts and threats against candidates. Surveys indicate that 26 million Americans believe that violence is an acceptable means to prevent Trump from regaining the presidency. This belief may be influenced by media portrayals of Trump as a Hitler-like figure and the normalization of violence in society.

The Impact of Censorship

Censorship, a tool used to control information flow and shape public opinion, has become a significant issue. It instills fear and stress in the population, dividing people into compliant and dissenting groups. The effectiveness of censorship is such that it has altered how people interact, even in private settings.

The Valorization of Violence

The normalization of violence is not limited to the United States. Instances of violence and destruction are being recorded and shared worldwide, raising questions about the impact of these images on public culture.

The Consequences of Violence

The widespread use of violence has led to a decline in the standard of living, shortened life spans, increased ill health, and a rise in illiteracy. The decision to use force to control the microbial kingdom has had negative consequences, including the normalization of violence.

Bottom Line

The normalization of violence in society is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. The lockdowns have exacerbated the problem, leading to a rise in crime and a decline in societal trust. It's crucial to identify the root cause of these issues and find a viable solution to restore civilized living. What are your thoughts on this matter?
