Independent Thinking in a Divided America

By -

 

Rejecting political labels and choosing independent thinking in a divided America. A call for facts, nuance, and common sense. 

There’s a strange pressure these days to pick a political corner before you’re even allowed to speak. The moment you question a headline or refuse to swallow a narrative whole, someone is ready to slap a label on your forehead. I’ve been told I’m “becoming a liberal” simply because I stood with someone who deserved a fair look at the facts. But I’m not a liberal, and I’m not a conservative either. I’m an American  one who still believes independent thinking is not a crime. I don’t abandon common sense because a story is trending, and I don’t let political jerseys tell me who I’m allowed to stand with. When something doesn’t add up, I say so. That’s not ideology; that’s responsibility.

People love to pretend that defending someone’s rights means endorsing their entire life story. They love to act like questioning an official version of events means you’ve joined “the other team.” But America was built on the idea that we don’t decide guilt based on vibes or headlines. We don’t strip someone of their rights because they’re imperfect or unpopular. And we certainly don’t let political tribes do our thinking for us. I can disagree with someone’s choices and still believe they deserve fair treatment. I can acknowledge nuance without being accused of switching sides. That’s not liberal or conservative  that’s citizenship.



And if you want to know who Susang6 is, it’s simple: she isn’t a liberal, and she isn’t defined by any political movement. She’s an American who thinks for herself. She values facts over slogans, accountability over blind loyalty, and common sense over political theater. She doesn’t pledge allegiance to left or right. She pays attention, asks questions, and refuses to let anyone else define her. If that makes her confusing to the diehards, so be it. I’d rather be confusing than controlled. I’d rather be honest than loyal to a tribe. And I’d rather be an American a real one  than anything else.

Why Political Name‑Calling Is Ineffective: A Short History

By -

A satirical look at political name‑calling, the meaning of “libtard,” and how a simple question exposes weak arguments and shuts down deflection Let’s take a quick stroll through the long, dramatic history of political insults  because honestly, humans have been flinging names at each other since the moment someone realized words could sting. Back in the 1800s, politicians hurled elegant little daggers like “fanatic,” “tyrant,” and “traitor.” These were the artisanal, small‑batch insults of their day crafted with care, aged in oak barrels, and delivered with a flourish. By the 20th century, things got spicier. “Commie,” “fascist,” and “warmonger” were tossed around like confetti at a very tense parade. Still rude, but at least they required a basic understanding of world events. And then we arrive in the modern era, where the insults have… let’s just say… devolved.  Today’s favorites   libtard , snowflake , MAGA extremist  are basically the fast‑food versi...

What It Really Means to Be a Caregiver

By -

A raw, honest look at what caregiving truly feels like the emotional weight, the loneliness, the end‑of‑life truths, and the unseen strength caregivers carry every day. Written to help others walking the same path. Caregiving is one of those roles people think they understand  until they’re living it. From the outside, it looks like errands, appointments, medications, and patience. But the truth is far deeper, far heavier, and far more invisible than anyone ever warns you about. Caregiving isn’t a job. It’s a life you step into, often without preparation, training, or a choice.   You Carry Two Emotional Lives — Yours and Theirs People imagine caregiving as physical tasks, but the real weight is emotional. You don’t just manage your own feelings; you absorb the moods, fears, and frustrations of the person you love. Some days they’re hopeful. Some days they’re angry. Some days they tell you they’ve accepted their fate, that they’re done fighting. And you stand the...
