The Problem with the news

A few days ago I learned that Georgia Meloni won the Italian elections. The thing that concerns me is she was labelled a far right leader by many British news groups. When I think of the far right, I think of a government that tries to purge their opposition forcefully, they kill their opposition or get them sent to prison. In 1930's Germany they replaced the police force with the Gastapo and would burn anything that contradicts them or their views and they had a long list of books to burn up. The goal of a far right leader would be to become an autocratic government that doesn't tolerate divergence from their views. They silence freedom of speech and force everyone to conform to their program. I think it is wrong to label someone that isn't politically correct as far right because that is clouding up the truth. 

With the same logic someone would label me a political activist because I mentioned a few things in my blog. I have no political agenda and no polarity to any political group but because I briefly mentioned a few things about some politicians they would say I am a political activist, but I'm not. I see all politicians as liars, they are forced to lie to get elected, every policy they have can be vetoed by the cabinet members, but they have to appear confident so they make promises that they don't know they can keep. You could called it a pledge paradox. Some politicians lie more than others though.

Most of my blog is about things I find interesting or amazing. This morning I checked my smart meter and noticed that the heating turned itself on at 5am then turned itself off at 5:40, the thermostat clicked on at 5 am because the temperature went below 20°c. It was automatic; I wasn't involved in stabilizing the temperature of my home. My ancestors would feel a cold chill and gather fire wood or coal and light a fire in the fire place to stay warm. In my home a machine burns gas when it detects the temperature is too low, then it turns itself off when the temperature is correct. To you that may not be amazing but to me it is. It is amazing that there are machines all around me bidding for me and my family without us noticing.
