man i am. And i'm so bad too cause my mother-in-law is always going off on these types of things and my gut instinct is to be non-conspiratorial so i'm always shooting her down or giving counter arguments. and then when i end up going down rabbit holes myself, i'm left going "shoot dude, she was basically right" hahaha
Same with my relationship with my old man. He’s been talking about the culture war and shit for years and even aside from that, just all the advice and lessons over the years that I shrugged off have all been proven correct. I remember even when I was a teenager and went to a psychologist I was SUPER liberal and for communism (couldn’t tell you what that even meant back then) and thought I was on the best smartest path and my dad was wrong, to the point where I even said to the dr that “it’s like...like I want to extend my hand out to help my dad to see what I see”. The Dr asked “well what is it that he doesn’t see?” And I probably went off on some pseudo-intellectual rant (which is also something my dad called me during that time when we were debating). I also remember when my dad sat me down to discuss my life goals I said “I’m gonna be a rockstar”. I was these people and came out of it.
Dude same. I was literally planning on being in a band. I used to be on the completely opposite side of the culture war. I was raised Catholic and was away from the church for probably over a decade. And I was drinking and doing worse stuff and just not on a good path. It would’ve probably gone really bad but I met my wife and we just slowly started moving away from the bad lifestyles we’d chose and started bit by bit to better everything.
But being in a bit better spot now, I can see how much evil is around in society. It’s subtle and pervasive.
Same here, lol. I was in a band for 6 years and drank a shit-load, did coke, weed, pills, etc and met some straaange people who were fucking LOST lol. It was a cool experience because it demystified a lot, but I'm very grateful I have my Father who said to me a few years ago "It's all bullshit, son. The being famous thing, the branding, the image stuff....it's all bullshit and doesn't matter. Get your house in order and take care of yourself." I'm also grateful this site exists. Yea, there's some people kinda on the fringe but there's also a LOT of people like us, and I feel like over the years we've kind of been exiled if you know what I mean. I feel like you and I would be friends IRL and I keep getting that feeling talking to people here. If I ever wondered where people like myself went to since I was a kid, I think this is where we are currently. Reaffirms you're never alone with how you see the world. Our perspective doesn't fit the narrative currently but keep the faith homie. Thanks for sharing, also.
i swear coke was almost the end of me. I only did it for maybe a month or two and was right on the verge of basically making coke my lifestyle, like "this is just who I am now" type of thing. thank God I didn't.
every place has a few bad eggs. but this site (even when it was back on reddit in the olden days) has generally been people that are very similar to us. and i agree, even though we've had the briefest of conversations, i get the vibes we'd be friend irl and i feel that way about like 90% of the people on this site. i mean there are a huge mix of people on this site too but for the most part i get the feeling that i'd at least get along great with most of them haha.
i also basically agree with the exile idea. if not banned from sites like facebook/reddit/etc, then just have left them. That's my case. I used to love the original The_Donald on reddit, i literally made a reddit account just for that lol. But then there was one day that there was a post (high up on r/all) about Mother Teresa and the comments on it were some of the most vile degenerate filth i'd ever seen. and i wasn't even back to being catholic at the time. but i just realized 'yep, this site is full of demons' and never looked back. I only found out about .win from Tim Pool's podcast.
And then facebook i just got sick of hearing the stupid bullshit from old highschool friends that i never talked to anymore. that and i found that social media just drives me down bad paths, no matter how i tell myself i'm gonna use it.
But yeah i'm happy .win expanded into the communities now. i hope it keeps growing.
