As everyone else has told you, you are far from alone. I too live in a blue state and am isolated and surrounded by leftist shitheads who don't listen to logic and reason.

I'll share with you a piece of wisdom I was imparted years ago about why some folks just aren't receptive to different information. It may or may not help directly with your situation, but either way I hope it at least gives you a sense of understanding.

"You cannot change an individual's mind from outside their own worldview."

Essentially, if you want to be able to effectively change someone's opinion on an issue, you need to have an understanding of their own beliefs and value systems. Then you need to frame your talking points for whatever issue you're trying to persuade on in a way that aligns with those beliefs and values. This is the most common mistake most redpillers make, as they end up taking a one-size-fits-all approach when the reality is each individual needs a different approach. "Seek first to understand, then to be understood." Changing hearts and minds takes time and effort. After all, it took decades and generations of a slow subversion process for the commies to advance their agenda as much as they have.

A lot of pedes here are advising you to look to a good religious community for help, but I get the feeling what you're after are more actionable solutions rather than just a shoulder to lean on. Plus leftist rot has been subtly corrupting houses of worship too, so you could very well end up walking into a honeypot. Personally I would recommend picking up a copy of Steven Covey's "7 Habits of Successful People". He talks a lot about how to effectively work with others and how to build up your 'circle of influence'. "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is another good one, as is anything focused on the Myers-Briggs Keirsey temperament sorter.

And if you find yourself feeling dirty reading that material, since the techniques in these books are also used by commies, one other reading recommendation I have is the "Playing to Win" essays by Sirlin. They're primarily written in the context of competitive gaming, but much of the advice within them is applicable to most aspects of life with a competitive element, politics included. And the essays draw heavily from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War", not unlike GEOTUS's own "Art of the Deal".

Take good care of yourself and your loved ones and stay strong for us. And remember, you're always among fellow patriots here.

Francis isn't a commie, he's worse. He's a Jesuit, and Jesuits have been commies since even before the Communist Manifesto was written.

"Since its founding, Jesuits had been dedicated to the service of the Catholic faith, but at the Jesuits’ General Congregation 32 in 1975, “the promotion of justice” was declared a central part of the Society’s mission and a concrete response to an unjustly suffering world.

The mandate was not directed exclusively toward the Jesuits already working with the poor and marginalized. Rather, it was the lens through which all apostolic priorities were to be evaluated.

Today, the service of faith and the promotion of justice is the animating characteristic of the work being done at Jesuit middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities, parishes and retreat houses and in ministries around the world. This mission takes many forms, including works of service, justice, dialogue and advocacy.

In Canada and the United States, the Jesuits’ Office of Justice and Ecology, located in Washington, D.C., represents the Society of Jesus, working to increase awareness and engagement with legislators, public officials, corporations and the Jesuit network on issues including immigration and economic, criminal, juvenile and environmental justice."

Jesuits literally wrote the book on social justice and communism. Just look at all this shit:

Lots of people have called SJWs the new religious busybodies, but that's not true. They're the old religious busybodies and they never went away. They just changed their marketing.

Not just that. He also had a frequent habit of calling anyone who liked anime a pedo. https://archive.is/1LTsu Pedos always project.

https://archive.is/https://twitter.com/DrPizza* Bookmark that link for a rainy day when you feel like laughing at libtard cringe.

Is archive.is doing that? I fucking hope not. I know archive.org/web has been doing that for years, even upon request.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. Typically if you're involved in a legal case you'll end up signing an NDA and be instructed to remain quiet about the details of the case. That's to protect confidentially and to keep your opponents from gaining any advantage. You wouldn't show your opponent the cards you're holding in a poker game, after all.

KEK, that's hilarious. But I can't imagine that realistically being effective in an actual civil war unless you dipped them in some kind of poison or tranquilizer or some shit.

OMAD? I'm assuming KETO=ketosis.

Biggest problem with keto is that if you don't stay keto you fuck up your body even worse than where you started, and in a SHTF scenario meat and other protein is going to be a lot more scarce, so I can't imagine it's overall the best choice. Unless there's something I'm missing.

I've tried to redpill my folks multiple times but they're too far gone. It seems whether or not you can redpill someone has more to do with temperment than anything else.

I know you're joking, but I have honest to god given this serious thought. Maybe getting some sort of camper and wandering state to state. Not sure how I'd make money though.

As a matter of fact I haven't. I'll be sure to give that a good look.

Electrician has been sounding good, though I've actually been thinking about metalworking. Would be a great way to shoot two birds with one bullet. Only issue is whether or not the demand is there to justify it.

True. I've always been a 'look before you leap' sort of fellow but it's really bitten me in ass and that's been one of the most bitter redpills I've had to swallow.

If I ever get the chance to start a family no way in hell I make the same mistakes with the helicopter/bulldozer shit.

How do meds/therapists factor into this? Parents had me on all kinds of awful shit growing up and made the mistake of letting my self get talked into shrink visits for a period of time some years ago. More than anything else I'm worried I've ended up on some sort of spook no-funs-allowed list and I might set something off.

Any good budgeting guides? Nailing down the rent and expenses is the tricky part for me. I'd imagine rural areas are cheaper homewise but does the trade-off in other living expenses make a big difference. Internet service would be a bitch for sure.

Interesting idea. Any recommended brands to look out for? If it's something I don't have to order online that's even better.

That really sucks, sorry to hear that. Message me back if you have any luck getting back on your feet.

The indoctrination doesn't work on everyone. Some people are just that stubbornly autistic.

I always hated being bossed around when I was little and got into trouble constantly. Distrust in authority was hammered into me from a very early age.

I guess the mods are just trying to help a fellow patriot get his life back together. Honestly wasn't expecting to get stickied, kek.

I guess the biggest problem I'm having is how to budget correctly. Where both the cost of living is low and has the best opportunities for work. Doesn't help that I can't cook for shit, either

I'm pretty good with numbers and decent with computers. Know a bit about working with cars but don't have my own tools. Also done some warehouse work and your typical college years retail hell. These past few years though I've really been honing my investigation skills. Perhaps a career as a private investigator or a paralegal might work?

Thanks. God bless.

Pretty much missed the boat on the military. I've had really shitty luck with getting laid off from previous jobs and never really found my real grove. Haven't been able to make ends meet well enough to keep up with rent and other living expenses. Out of state is the best bet but it would be a hell of a gamble if I fuck up.

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. Been busy archiving and organizing links so I'm sorry if I'm not as engaged as other pedes. Whenever I'll contribute I'll be sure it counts.

What do?
