It's because this community is dying. It was so alive during the last few months of Trump's term.
Posts by many users with an active engagement and discussion and some good insight and research. Even if politically motivate it kept the brain wheels going
Now we have tired link only posts by the same few people with no engagement at all.
It is basically constant whining about the leftist takeover of society. There is no conspiracy there. This is a fact of life !
Two of the admins have deleted their accounts. Why are they still under the mod banner?
Some of the users have their posts shadow banned (here's me looking at me).
We either start putting some effort and time or best let it die an honorable death.
Your logic is immensely flawed. The premise that government is a lie designed to keep people subjugated to the powers that be does not lead to the conclusion that everything, including religion in all its varieties, is a lie.
You found out that a vast majority of what we're told as children is nothing but brainwashing. There is no Santa Claus. Great. You figured it out.
But choosing to take that knowledge and use it as an excuse to believe in only yourself and your reason means you believe in absolutely nothing. You might as well be a brain in a jar, in some lab in another realm, being stimulated by electrical impulses into believing you inhabit something like a reality. You become so disconnected from reality, nothing can possibly matter.
We have to weigh everything--every truth and every falsehood--against the truth we already know. We have to be willing to reexamine what we believe to be true. But, no matter what you choose to believe--and everyone believes in something, whether or not they claim to--there's always a measure of faith in it. If we don't have faith in the reality of the world, we have nothing.
