In a world where everyone is arguing & fighting over individual differences, this so is a reminder that all human beings are beautiful creatures. Living an authentic life being true to ones heart & soul is the greatest gift a person can receive. Good night Sweet dreams🫂 m.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Mo...

This song is awesome.♥️ I love her voice, this song has a more alternative rock, 80's pop punk. Its catchy and upbeat, she puts major chords/notes in the places where most bands put minor chords/notes which make it sound more happy and positive. The lyrics are witty too. m.youtube.com/watch?v=96uO...

This song fits right in with the topic of culture wars, psychological warfare, mental health issues caused by division and reference MK Ultra and brainwashing through propaganda. The video is also interesting. Interesting blend of genres.♥️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=P8TT...

In Culture War Mahjong this is what you're playing for, liberal tiles can't beat Conservative tiles or vice versa because that's not how the game works, They can either win together or lose together because they're both part of the same pair on the board. Mean tweets are weapons of mass destruction.

Darryl McMillan @darrylmcmillan.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

In Culture war Mahjong this is a homelessness tile, there is 2 of them a Liberal one and a Conservative one, both sides need to come together to solve the problem of homelessness and clear the board. The four tiles are Food insecurity, inflation, crime, unemployment 2 tiles each pair. Left & right.

Darryl McMillan @darrylmcmillan.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

In Culture War Mahjong this is an abortion tile. There is 2 of them, Pro-life & Pro-choice, both sides need to come together to clear the board. The 2nd tile is sex, their is a manosphere tile & a feminism tile, both sides need to come together in order to clear the board. Cooperation wins the game

Darryl McMillan @darrylmcmillan.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

in Culture war Mahjong there is a worker tile & an employer tile, both sides need to work together to avoid a strike & clear the board. There is a man tile & a woman tile, both need to work together to clear the board. There is a Race symbol Black & white need to come together to clear the board.

In Culture Wars Mahjong each new level brings more safety, stability, prosperity, quality of life, stand of living , economic growth, geopolitical influence to a country, Liberals & Conservatives are not competing against each other, they're competing against other nations. Divide & Conquer.🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸🌎☮️🌐♥️

Darryl McMillan @darrylmcmillan.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

If the left & right can't learn to get along/respect each online it turns into protests & riot police. Both sides fighting it out in the streets instead of in their psyche through personal growth healthy relationships, the world must force them to get along as "fate". The opposite of peace is war

A Chinese finger trap is a riddle, where pulling gets both fingers more stuck, the way out is for both sides to come together. In CW mahjong each time we clear the board society improves (crime, stand of living, mental health, economy, jobs, social services, infrastructure, science, education). 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸

Darryl McMillan @darrylmcmillan.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Mahjong means "Little Sparrow" in Chinese, and little sparrows tweet things. Culture wars are like a game of Mahjong. There are two tiles; a Liberal one and a conservative one. When both sides come together that issue is cleared from the board. The way to win the game is cooperation and unity.☮️♥️🫂🤝✌️

In a way I am glad my X account got suspended for what 7 days because of what I said about Trump, I needed a break from the news and politics. So I spent the last few days smoking weed listening to music and playing mahjong on my tablet. Another song that is relevant. m.youtube.com/watch?v=_idF...

2025 was a summer of hate, division and violence. I would like to make 2026 the summer of peace, love and unity. Social Media companies profit from the Culture wars & engagement. Politicians can manipulate people easier when they're against each other. Divide & Conquer or Unite & Perserver.✌️❤️

What Carl Jung means is we'e never 100% anything, we're always 80% right/20% wrong, 80% confident/20% insecure, 80% Good/20% bad, 80% masculine/ 20% feminine, 80% feminine/20% masculine, 80% generous/20% greedy. Internal Conflict occurs when we reject 1 of the opposites/try to remain one thing 100%

The more people but away their tribal social identities and the amount of consciousness and emotional energy they invest in them, the more they meet each other at a real authentic human place. Not at the persona level, not at the ego level, not at the shadow level, but at the soul level of the self.

The new Social Movement I'd like to start is a consciousness expansion Paradigm shift. The goal is for each person to self reflect, self regulate, self monitor, self transform so that all Social Activism and Political Action comes from/done from our heart/soul/conscience, not our ego/persona/shadow.

My suggestion to Anti ICE protestors is to wear either Snowboarding goggles are scuba diving goggles so that pepper spray and tear gas doesn't effect you. You can pick up a cheap pair for $30-$50 dollars. And Half face respirators which cost between $50-$150. Protection from Mace & Tear gas.

Everything post 2015 is either Liberals pushing their liberal agenda or Conservatives pushing their conservative agenda. A video game comes out and people are fighting either because there is not enough women in it or too many women in it. Why can't people just play the game have fun and be happy?

Before 2015 Hollywood wasn't political, Social Media wasn't political, music, movies, tv shows weren't political, advertising commercials weren't political, video games, clothing, socializing wasn't political. People were normal & talked about normal human stuff. Now everything is a political agenda

With individualism comes alienation, the more a person strives to be different from everbody else the more isolated and lonely they become. They no longer share a collective culture traditions, trends, past times, art, stories that bind a nation together. We feel This loss of shared culture in 2026.

See fighting fire with fire means fighting evil with evil. if we fight evil with evil then no matter what evil wins (which is the moral of the story post 2010 media). We must fight evil with good because if good wins good wins (The moral of the story of 1980-2010 media) m.youtube.com/watch?v=ht1c...

People are nostalgic for media from 1980-2010 1 because it was shot on film not digital, 2 because of the music and sound tracks and most importantly 3 the moral of the story and feel good endings. People yearn for a time when good people were still good and the villians were the bad guys that lost.

In other words because Honesty is a stage 5 post conventional moral value, the way to demoralize a nation is to make lying seem cool, sexy, exciting, popular, normal and socially acceptable. This can be done by showing them movies and tv shows where the heroes consistently lie to other characters.

Darryl McMillan @darrylmcmillan.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

As I said on my podcast demoralization has 2 aspects Demorale - cynicism, nihilism, hopelessness, learned helplessness, egocentrism, pessimism Demoral - devolve moral reasoning/ethical standards from stage 5-6 post conventional altruistic morality to stage 1-2 preconventional hedonistic morality.🇨🇦🇺🇸

Darryl McMillan @darrylmcmillan.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

A major difference post 2010 media is in new media the good characters are shown as flawed willing to lie, cheat, steal, kill to win and narratives are built in order to create sympathy and empathy for the villian, inverting the morality of 1990-2010 storytelling. m.youtube.com/watch?v=4LWP...
