Moronageddon
The Moronic Behavior that Threatens Civilization
One only has to think about how people - greedy, narcissistic, powerful people - have put this planet and humankind itself on a collision course with annihilation - while - the rest of us, aware of the deadly ramifications of, say, just climate change, napped until the very last moment to attempt to repair what is mostly irreparable damage, in order to begin to grasp the immensity of the word, Moronageddon.
But let’s begin with something moronically less-than-world-changing…
Have you ever thought about the starting process for highway bridge construction projects? They accept the lowest bidder! How potentially Moronageddonic is that?
Recently, the mass murder suspect in Maine, despite having been previously committed to a mental health facility, was hearing voices and had threatened to shoot up a National Guard facility - was allowed to buy the weapons that killed 18 innocent people. More Moronageddon!
Now, consider historic genocides? Mass slaughters of Indigenous peoples in the United States and Canada; the Holocaust (Holocaust denial is moronic); the Cambodian, Rwandan, Nanjing and Bosnian genocides to sadly name just a few, rise to a level of Moronageddon that is proportionate to the development and deployment of -- nuclear weapons. Having nuclear adversaries come to the critical point of creating the Moronageddonish policy of Mutually Assured Destruction? MAD, to the nth!
Admittingly, I've sat back and just watched some of the (and similar) atrocities I've outlined here, doing nothing. So, I ask, does that make me a part of the Moronageddon Problem?
