IGNORANT TABOOS AND STUPID SOCIAL CUSTOMS

 

IGNORANT TABOOS AND STUPID SOCIAL CUSTOMS 

From the beginning of time ignorant taboos and stupid social customs have caused the death of many innocent people. It is within the human species that little value is placed on human life. Humans have always killed thousands of others in wars and have no grievances in sending young man and women to die in war. It has been said by scholars that Americans cannot live without conflict. So they have created stupid customs that trigger social discord. Humans have failed to accomplish the art of living together. 

Ignorant taboos were practiced for years within the Aztec culture. The act of human heart-extraction was a means of liberating a tribe when it was thought that the gods were angry.  In primitive African tribes the head clansman had the authority to choose the most beautiful young maiden in the village and force her into a volcano with the belief that it pleased the gods. 

Burying children alive was another taboo practiced by the Arabs in the pre-Islamic period. This practice was also widely used in India. The reason male children were buried alive was due to poverty. Female children were buried alive to avoid invasion of neighboring war-like tribes. It was an ignorant taboo that brought a slow and horrible death to children. 

Other stupid customs have caused physical harm to many.  In Burundi and Tanzania even today, persecution of people with albinism is based on the belief that certain parts of albino individuals can transmit magical powers. Albino children have to be placed in protected areas to prevent physical harm even to the point of death. 

In Madagascar the birth of twins is viewed as a bad omen sent by God. “The Demon Superstition” is the curse of twins and twin babies are often abandoned or killed. 

Now let’s move to a more modernistic approach to ignorant taboos and stupid social customs. It is sad but true, “White Superiority” is a stupid social custom, and has been the chief cause of American conflict for decades. Americans have developed a society of conflict therefore have adapted social customs that enhance divergence.  “White Superiority” is one of those customs that gives rise to controversy.  The act of legalized slavery was a recipe for struggles and would never have ended with a peaceful society. The American Civil War was fought to put an end to this barbaric act, but in recent days with a White Supremacist in the   White House, the ignorant custom of White Superiority has reared its ugly head. Once again, America is faced with social differences that may lead to another civil war. 

For decades in the USA, homosexuality was viewed as a curse from God and the act was not only evil but against the law. Religion has played a major role in developing stupid social customs and thus that has been the driving force behind the social injustice against homosexuals. Any time a society places one gender above another, it is a formula for conflict. As long as heterosexuals share the position of superiority in American society, conflicts will continue, and even today the stupid custom is permeated by evangelical church leaders.  

Throughout the history of mankind there have been thousands of foolish theories that were believed by many. But the one that stands “head and shoulders” above all the others is the, “Pizza Gate Conspiracy Theory,” that originated in the United States of America. This conspiracy theory was permeated by none other than Republicans.  The Republicans have gone so far as to deny that the insurrection of January 6^th was not an armed insurrection. The absolute stupidity that surrounds the Republican Party is a direct threat to America’s democracy. 

Americans are supposed to be some of the most educated people in the world, but yet they have succumbed to the dumbest conspiracy theory of all times. It is difficult to believe that members of the Republican Party can be proud to be a member of a “Kook Party.” Of all the foolish political beliefs that have been encountered in the entire history of political parties, “the Pizza Gate Conspiracy” is by far the worse.   

Republicans have lost all concepts of intelligence in the belief of an invisible leader known as QAnon. Under the leadership of the mentally deranged Marjorie Taylor Greene, they believe Democrats gather in the basement of a Pizza Parlor; have sex with underage children, then cut off their heads and drink their blood. Of course, Republicans reached the bottom of the barrel when they endorsed Donald Trump, but to go a step further and believe in the “Pizza Gate Conspiracy,” place them below the bottom of the barrel. 

Now the question is asked, are Americans going to allow the stupidity of the Republicans to destroy a great democratic empire? Regardless as to what happens to the United States, the misguided events of the Republican Party, for the sole purpose of retaining “White Power,” will be regarded as one of the greatest transgressions in world history.
