Buckle up as we dive into the tangled web of hypocrisy, groupthink, and selective outrage. 'Think I Need It Too' isn't just a catchy phrase; it's the quintessential conservative call to rethink necessity, respect resourcefulness, and yes, challenge the societal norms everyone seems to accept without a second thought. Think about when politicians are deciding what you truly need—and when. It's 2023, and here we are once more with people clamoring for more government intervention, as if that ever solved any real-world problems. Meanwhile, everyday folks are realizing they don't need what bureaucrats think they need. Where is this happening? It's being talked about in households across America from small towns in Indiana to bustling cities in Texas.
Think of the push for electric cars. The idea of zero-emissions is nice and all, but until every home has a reliable alternative energy source, plugging in your Tesla isn't exactly saving the planet. You're still dependent on what? Oh right, fossil fuels to charge that beauty. But say out loud that owning a gas-guzzler might be more 'necessary' for some given their financial status or work requirements, and wait for the backlash.
Then there's the issue of 'what is necessary' in education. Education is undeniably pivotal. It’s critical for shaping young minds and preparing them for the adult world. Yet, the set curriculum is designed to foster conformity, not critical thinking. By adhering to a one-size-fits-all model, we deny students a tailored education that acknowledges their unique strengths. Basic subjects should never be undermined, but what about managing personal finances, understanding politics, or developing real-world skills? When genuine necessities get cast aside for policy agendas, it's time to question who's truly looking out for our future.
Healthcare can't be overlooked in this conversation. It's almost humorous how closed the eyes of so-called experts are when it comes to what's deemed 'necessary' for one's health. Instead of affordable healthcare tailored to the individual's needs being prioritized, blanket policies get thrown that mirror a utopian vision, not the actual state of human diversity in health requirements. The truth is, a government that micromanages its citizens' healthcare decisions risks crossing a line no one should ignore.
Personal responsibility is another area experiencing a wave of imposed necessity. In a quest for 'equity,' responsibility has often been shifted from the individual to the state. The narrative of needing constant help undermines personal endeavors and erases the pride of achieving success through one's efforts. Somehow, the message is clear: you don't need to strive or achieve; the state will handle it—a grim idea that we should never accept.
Consider home ownership, often hailed as a part of the American Dream. Rising prices and taxes, driven by convoluted policies, put this necessity further out of reach. Get that dream house and lose half of its potential value to a government that acts like a greedy landlord. What's being done? You guessed it, more regulations claiming to "necessitate" life quality improvements.
And let’s not forget free speech, a necessity so integral that it frames entire civilizations. Attempts to regulate speech even under the guise of dealing with 'misinformation' are blatant acts of stifling differing opinions. Complex issues get stunted, dulled to a monologue approved by higher powers. Those nodding in agreement are sadly setting themselves up for future censorship when their own views fall out of mainstream favor.
In entertainment, movies and shows increasingly dictate what narratives are 'necessary' for audiences. It's no longer about what viewers might want to engage with; it's about hitting diversity quotas and promoting social messages. Creative liberties are being squashed to fit a designated mold—all to support an ideological necessity that many aren't buying into.
The push for technology and its ability to infiltrate every aspect of life also screams necessity from rooftops—only, is it? Tech companies grow unchecked, their power defensible only by their self-proclaimed necessity of innovation. But are these tech advances always beneficial for the public? 24/7 connectivity and data aggregation aren't selling the life-enhancing promises many accepted eagerly.
It's time to revisit your convictions and discern what's truly essential from what society wants you to accept as necessary. Ask not what 'they' think you need, but what 'you' genuinely need, and how policies align with your pursuit of happiness and freedom.
Don't just think about it—make your own stand, resist the spoon-fed rules, and redefine what necessity truly means. Buck the trend and take back the power to decide for yourself.
