High Noon "It's all for nothing"

1/21/25:

This post has a familiar ring to it, so I'm re-posting this response to the Insty post.

Do people actually give a rat's rear end? If they did, maybe this kind of stuff wouldn't happen. Even when their neighborhood burns down, do they care? I wonder about that. I really do.



Quick update: People reading this may not understand what the hell I'm referring to. The insty post was about how the previous administration and the Democrats suppressed the truth about Biden's condition. That's why I wrote that they didn't give a flip. Even if that meant that they were endangering themselves as well as everyone else. They just didn't care, and they said just as much themselves.

I can see both sides of this argument as the drama unfolded.

It seems like these days with the election and all, there really be a lot of people who won't do anything because they just don't care.

Then there's the guy who is standing alone against the bad guys, and nobody wants to help.

I tell you I can see both sides of this.

So what about today? Do people really give a shit? Maybe not. It sure seems that way a lot more often that you'd like to believe. I'd like to believe the way John Wayne depicted in his movie "The Alamo". The part where he gave the Flaca speech was his own viewpoint put into cinema. John Wayne thought that "High Noon" was un-American. He wanted to believe that people had some good in them.

If people let bad shit happen, then how good can they be? People could have stopped Hitler before he plunged the world into World War II, but did nothing. Maybe they were lying the same way they lie now. Or was it something similar to this movie? They just don't give a shit.
