This place has been low energy for a while now. Wonder where everyone went.
I guess some people are taking some time off to cool off a bit, but there has been a massive drop in comments/posts and activity overall in the pas ~2-3 weeks. A lot of stuff is missed, and whenever anyone posts anything newsworthy people start bitching about how it is all pointless.
It’s been a pretty damn demoralizing past month. I don’t blame folks for stepping out for a bit, hell I cut my news consumption by 90%. We need to stay strong so that when people come back we are here.
A lot of people are just done with it. At the end of the day, what good has it done me to know who the Bill Priestaps of the world are? What good has any knowledge or any concern done me? It's literally done nothing but take joy from my life. I've been news free for the better part of a month now and it's been so amazing.
We’ve been pretty good at breaking through the media lies and keeping each other informed, but we are much less good at taking decisive action. Part of that is the individualist nature of our people, part is the GOP that always claims to fight for us even when they stab us in the back, part of it is that we have other things that we must attend to (family, business, church), and part of it is that we are very scared of glowies.
We’re going to need to organize a rebellion, and we need to work together to make sure that we can’t be destroyed and furthermore that we can win.
