It's nice to see you as well. I'm not really back fulltime but I am around now, dropping a post here and there. Can't seem to create anything cool to look at these days and it's driving me insane... but look what happens when I go insane!
Anyway. Enjoy this random song.
Now that is a video to start out the day with, haha!
I've been blocked too...Howie made a good point, for me anyway- Stop being entertained and entertain yourself. Boredom is the key. And I have to admit I've been droning on mindless entertainment from social media to netflix to youtube, far more than usual the last few months.
I was hooked on Youtube for awhile. I was digging while all that controversy was going on, because I wanted to write an article about media manipulation. This world hardly even knows what hit them over the past few months. Instead I became sickened with it all, shut the internet off, went away. Now I'm back. Not sure what I'll do, but I'm here. Trying to engage a little more with some folks around here. Make my presence felt. Post when it feels natural instead of grinding daily to sometimes no audience. This post was a miracle though. Look at all the people.
Sickened with it all- hell yeah. I've learned things about people in general that jaded me a bit. The fact that so few people have critical thinking skills, the unbelievable amount of people that are so easily brainwashed.by what seems to me a pretty damn flimsy narrative. How they can't see that everyone on that screen from politicians to news to so called medical experts are Actors. Cuomo is getting an EMMY for fuck sake, I don't think they could make his role as actor any more clear than that, hahahaha, shittt.
I was pointing such things out to people for awhile, but when suddenly friends I've had for years were arguing with me using lines they got verbatim from the tv or headlines...I had to give up or lose my damn mind. Along with losing almost all of my respect for them.
Thank God for Paul, one of the few I've been in pretty constant contact with who is not fooled by the illusions.
And yes, the engagement on this post is awesome!
I experienced something similar. I would observe the news media, as it's hard to miss sometimes. So I was familiar with what's happening. I'd still sign in to Facebook or glance around from time to time. Looking at society become divided. Sit around with people and holy fucking shit, I could predict what they'd say next. And now they're doing it with the election scandal. They did it with the BLM/Antifa thing. Did it with Covid. Two groups, two cults, all chanting. No fucking REAL thoughts. Parrots. Then if I injected my view, as an observer, I was the crazy one.
Even here earlier today, if you snoop through my comments you'll find, "I was being sarcastic; facetious." If you look in that post you'll see the character I responded to in another comment thread sounding exactly like CNN. Another one who has no clue those are actors reading from a script. I was going to write an article about the odd connection between Trump wanting to lower costs of medicine by eliminating the middleman, which would take profit away from pharmaceutical companies. Watch CNN, they smear Trump constantly, in between pharmaceutical advertisements. Weird. But if I wrote that, people would automatically assume I'm taking a side or preaching a narrative, or on their team, yadda yadda yadda. Then I'd get comments of a political nature and they'd be the same ones I've seen all over the place and heard everywhere.
I snooped. You're a Canadian and I'm an American who is also a political atheist... and we're having a very similar experience.
I almost like the Donald. Would definitely like him if I didn't think he's also an actor and that he and dementia Joe secretly have beers and laugh about the reaction to the script. Well Trump laughs about it, Joe just laughs because someone else is.
Actually even then, as an audience member I've got to appreciate the Donald's performance and what he's had to deal with.
On the very off chance Donald is for real? Kudos to him and his legacy.
I have no respect for the "left" because they are obviously blind. But that doesn't make me "right" either. Both sides are working from a narrative, both sides working against the middle.
In the end all I can say is they can take their vaccination and jab it up their ass, I'm good with living off the land if it goes that far.
Donald use to be far sharper in his earlier years. Now is brain is so scattered with everything going on. He can't just take one thing and put people in their place effectively.
One of my earliest posts here, and for most of life I've said something about this left wing/right wing nonsense. Either, or; that concept doesn't have a place in my mind. Take your left hand, stretch it out. Take your right hand, stretch that out to your side as well. Now choose? How the fuck you gonna fly with only one wing? Why not use that thing in the middle most people can't see. Your head.
