I've learned to take long breaks and get away from it all.
Having a hobby helps a lot, spending time with your family and enjoying the moment.
Being right-wing, there's really only bad news every day, so it's depressing as you watch the world burn. If you don't recognize how this can screw with your mind, you can develop depression. And, besides, for quite a few of us, the real world is not the same as the world in the news.
I also believe we've moved from boiling frogs to drowning rats. Is that your perception or is this more of the same?
People are starting to wake up, which has given me hope. But TPTB are accelerating their plans and we only have up til about 2030 before the world is fully transformed. There's also the fact that we're not very organized and we're not willing to lay down our lives to fight for freedom.
I've been at this since my late teens, which I subsequently found out was a lot earlier than most. (I'm near 32 now) I have to approach it in waves, as it can be hyper overwhelming. The current events of things has pushed me pretty deep back into it. What I did to avoid being the guy who just rambled about conspiracies all the time, was just boil it down to a simple undeniable fact for people. "Those in power will use all they have at their disposal to maintain and strengthen that power". Now from that starting point I found it a lot easier to loosen folks up to exploring the possible parameters of that statement more openly.
You can use the drowning rat analogy, and its not a bad one, but our lives in the collective world and our interior lives can be vastly indifferent. I don't see myself as a drowning rat, just an observer travelling through. This life is gorgeous, and there are some people who have put all their eggs here. That's fine, but its up to each of us to make that choice.
Well not going into my politics distinctly. But having dove quit deeply into the underlying theory behind various political leanings, I am insanely leftist. But not the bastardized neo-liberal leftist we've been sold. I believe in the rights and power of the working class, and believe we should be the owners and keepers of the products we create. Fucking neo-liberals stole the terminology and turned it into an authoritarian cluster fuck. Fuck stalinism and any group who would think using a vanguard party to functionally replace the state is a good idea.
I don't think there is much hope in regards to salvaging anything from the current situation. So I choose to place my faith in my personal experiences of a grander world beyond.
I don't give a shit if folks agree with that, and I have no interest in convincing anyone of anything. We die alone. And we alone experience that death when it comes.

most people have a nagging suspicion constantly simmering in the back of their brain.
theyll continue to stifle its validity simply because looking "crazy," to the world, is too much to handle.
my solution: gucci needs to custom-make tinfoil-hats.
Knew for decades. Grateful for all the good years.
Available for trigger pulling.
