Gaslighting as usual. If I showed that article to my Chinese immigrant friends they'd laugh their asses off. I've been keeping them up to date with what's been going on for the past few years and they just laugh and shake their heads in disappointment lol. In fact, where I work we had around 100 Antifa march right by and when I told my friend they believed in Marxism, he goes "haha whaaaat? these are the first people to die in Communism!". Sadly I kind of get along better with immigrants sometimes than I do natives. At least immigrants still have a positive attitude of gratitude about Capitalism and Liberty. They appreciate private property rights.
That's been the goal of communists since the cold war, so yea I hate to say it but we should probably be doing that. I always hated nepotism but so long as we as a society hold institutions with regard and respect, any and all conspirators will be trying to infiltrate. So why not us? really sucks but it's the reality at this point. All I freakin' want is to be left alone, but at this point the real battle is between People who want to solve their own problems without the need for Government, vs People who can't leave others alone. Social Planners, Opinion Makers, Meddlers, Schemers, Social Engineers, etc need to be put back in check from time to time.
With someone like her, I think her weakness is exactly what she uses as her strength. Give her enough rope. Her words are her weapon and she's young enough to be proud about it. She also has ZERO experience with anything professional. She talked for a living as a bartender. She's talking for a living now. Her passion will cloud her with hubris.
When people get old they get soft and want to be safe with the tribe. There’s a fear of being forgotten or exiled from the tribe when you die, and people want to be remembered. It sucks because I remember so many pacts I made with friends growing up that have mostly been broken because of peer pressure. I wish they knew that total strangers don’t give a fuck about them and real friends are where you form a perspective unique to your group. We’ve gone from forming genuine relationships to subjugating ourselves to the shallow collective. We’ve become just passerby’s in life, just another walking meatbag chasing our respective dragon, only to nod at our neighbors with the same abysmal look in our eyes signaling a subliminal desperation as if a fire is dying spark by irreplaceable spark. The only time we will feel alive again is during protests or riots. It’s the road they want us to go down. Fuck that shit. For what it’s worth, these .win sites are a breath of fresh air for once. Helps me stay positive that I’m not alone in this progressively dystopian nightmare.
I just watched the 1st episode of the Twilight Zone reboot and it's about a Comedian who tries to inject politics into his standup bit and noone laughs. It's not until he starts talking about real shit going on in his life that people connect and laugh. I think it just happens as people get older. I'm 32 and I think I've only got like 1-2 friends who stayed "cool" and still have the mindset where politics and the world at large can still be separate from our perspective. It's still US vs The World, so to speak. Everyone else subjugated themselves to the "larger tribe" and the narrative so certain things are "touchy" taken way too seriously.
used to be me when I was 18-21 years old. It's actually how I'm wired. I Think Jordan Peterson was right about certain people's brains being predisposed either Right or Left from a child. It wasn't until a friend of mine introduced me to Ayn Rand's explanation and non-fiction books on "Objectivism" that I started to painfully shine a light on all the falsehoods and distortions in my life. It was because I used emotions as my tool of cognition. If you go through life and learn how the universe works based on how you feel about it, you are constantly going to feel like the universe is always battling against you and everything is unfair. Instead, if you take the task of being right for Reality, you discover the one thing you've always looked for but could never find because it was in your blind spot...self-esteem.
Yea, and I wish Ron was around after Trump. Trump gave Republicans, scratch that, anyone not on the left BALLS to call them out. Poor Ron didn't expect that response from Georgie, you can tell by the look on his face he's like "wtf? ummm okay damn he just said that. fuck this guy" lol
He was an asshole to Ron Paul. That's where I first really knew about him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COsQgwBsMjA. That's the interview. At the end he asks Ron "what kind of success are you looking for in this campaign?" and Ron goes "Well, to win!" and George is like "That's not gonna happen" in the most smug way. I hated him from there on out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9qal-iB4ac - That's the earliest red-pilled interview I've seen Ron Paul in, and it kind of is a prelude to Trump hitting back and calling out the bullshit. Forgot about it until now. At the end he goes "I know how the system works".
It’s the feeling I had in my gut right as the “pandemic” happened. I told my friends and family to try their best to keep their heads on their shoulders and that we were gonna be prime for the pickin’. I just told people priority number 1 is to trust each other and not get at each other’s throats. Things have escalated so much in the last year that I’m convinced big moves are happening behind the curtain. People just latch onto beliefs when they’re scared because we need meaning, we need a narrative or as Jordan Peterson calls it “low-resolution grand narrative”. Since many leftists replaced God with the State or Science we are fractured. Anyway, /endrant
Literally thinking the same thing! I texted my leftist friend (20 years we grew up together) sayin imagine neither get inaugurated because everyone’s compromised. He thinks Russia compromised the Republicans I think China compromised the Democrats. It’s not outside the realm of possibility both sides are getting played like a fiddle.
Okay, so if this is true, then there is no way he's just walking away. If the Army has it, isn't that a hole-in-one for Trump? He's the CIC. If nothing comes from this then they must have threatened him and his family with violence or something or this is all bullshit fake news. I just can't reconcile or form any rationalization to explain a President Biden outcome with Trump just "quietly disappearing on inauguration day" as they keep peddling.
Oh yea. Reddit is done. I nuked my entire 9 years of post history a few days ago with that Chrome plug-in, then uninstalled Chrome right after lol. Crazy seeing what I was saying almost a decade ago and how much wilder my conversations were compared to now. I got banned off r/Libertarian because I got into a debate with someone who sounded far left.
Dude, I stumbled upon Tony Robbin's 60th birthday video from last year and couldn't believe my eyes/ears that he held a benefit for saving children from organ harvesting and sex trafficking. I recorded it and saved to my HDD just in case. wtf. https://streamable.com/g9jj98
EDIT: check it out on youtube for more...he also says at the end "Today was a victory for the Light".
NGL, after all I've read and heard this past year or so I kinda got choked up watching that because Robbins helped me get out of my depression years ago and I always kinda felt like he was a good guy. This truly is a battle of dark and light. Stay strong frens. I love you and God loves us.
My mom had it a few weeks ago and was fine after a week. Sense of taste and smell effected a tad but fine now. She’s 56 w/ asthma. 2 friends had it and same with them. I’ve been tested 4 times since last summer and every time I’m in the test facility I can hear through the walls and all I hear is “you’re negative! Yay!” From nurses to the “patients”. It’s an overblown flu IMO
