A tendency for self-deprecation

Maybe I've had this trait forever. Or maybe it was something I developed over my life as a type of wisdom obtained from the school of hard knocks.

Sometimes it goes too far.

I call myself a Keyboard Warrior. True enough, but I have done some stuff before. So maybe that is giving the impression that I will do nothing but talk or write.

"Doing Nothing" ain't me. If that impression is given from my self-deprecations, then it is the wrong impression.

I DO believe in taking action. Action is called for right now. Blaming things on my age is not a thing I want to do. But reality is reality.

Action is needed now. The question is who, how, and when?

I suspect that there won't be any action, and people will dismiss me as well. But they've already been doing that anyway.

Even Keyboard Warrioring is more than most people do. The fact is people don't want to do anything. Not even the simplest things. Even the most "safe" things.

Unless I am wrong, we have swerved into a time in which taking the easy way out ain't an option.

Two options are available. 1) fight back or 2) surrender. I think that unless I am reading people all wrong, that the second option will be taken.

I am writing this in connection with the stolen election in California. It's not like this was unexpected. People expected the election of 2020 to be stolen. This was well in advance of the election. True to expectations, that's exactly what happened.

But nothing was done to stop it. Therefore, why wouldn't it happen again and again when there's nobody willing to put a stop to it?

So keyboarding is about all I can do right now. Not that I haven't already done more than almost everybody else does.

I won't self-deprecate THAT.
