I freed myself years ago, at least in the sense that you're talking about.
There WILL be a resistance. Whether it'll be too late or not remains to be seen. I have little faith in humanity but I see hopeful signs here and there - more things I see in my local community than online. Folks are preparing. Have been for a while.
Fuck some 2 more weeks shit. I never bought into it. I've resigned myself to the fact that we're marching steadily towards communism or worse. However, I'll never be a slave to it.
Think a littler further back to Sumer. And maybe even farther than that. The 10 commandments probably go back farther as well. I honestly feel like following any religion - with good intentions anyway - is a good starting point even if you're not particularly religious. I'm spiritual but I don't partake in any organized religion though I do champion many of the underlying ideas behind them. The Golden Rule, etc. I simply try to live as wholesome as a life as possible, high frequency shit. Love is the highest frequency and most religions teach love above all.
It's a hard row to hoe, especially in this day and age. But the path is neverending and we're always learning and passing that knowledge on.
Individual citizens refusing to pay taxes, etc, isn't going to do much good. Millions doing it, then we'd be getting somewhere - and I'm sure millions are at this point.
But that doesn't stop daddy government from doing whatever then fuck the want, at least for now. There's only one way to forcibly stop that and that's something that I feel getting closer - I think all of us do that pay attention - but it's not here yet. And you'll get called a fed for suggesting it so
Do you have kids? I'm not suggesting you should to try to fix anything. It just sounds like you don't feel like you have a purpose and that's what I really mean by the question. If no kids, then what is your purpose, what is the thing that brings you a modicum of sanity and relief?
If there's nothing - which I understand completely, I've been there - then I don't know what to tell you. You're the only one that can decide if life is worth it or not. I hope you find peace
Yeah, we never stopped either. I remember being pulled over during the 2 weeks bullshit and having to show cops a screenshot of a letter cause the contractor I usually sub for was too cheap to print them off.
We did temp checks when you first came on the job for like 3 days. After that, everyone was like fuck that and went back to normal.
Starshield has entered the chat. I'm just talking shit though, I haven't look into it enough to know if it would be feasible to spread HAARP out amongst the thousands of Starlink satellites. Either way, though, the Starshield side of it is still unnerving.
The ol bullshit-o-meter was dinging when the news of his death originally broke. This shit is as predictable as the WWE. Sigh. It'd be nice if we can just get the crash and ensuing chaos over with, k?
Cause this bullshit is so retarded that it's just annoying.
Okay, handshake. Obviously geopolitics is a bit above your pay grade. Or maybe you're not old enough to remember the fall of the USSR and all of the good faith talks and agreements made - both on paper and off - around it.
I'm not saying Putin was right in invading Ukraine. At the same time though, how can you blame him when NATO creeps closer and closer when you know that he knows how Russia has been demonized in the US and elsewhere - irrationally demonized at that. Not only that but he sees the disgusting cultural exports of the US, the Marxism being implemented in all of the West, etc.
It's also fair to say that there's far more going on than you or I know or could imagine, there's so much history and much of it classified. And on top of it all, he took Crimea and no one did anything, plus the coup Obama pulled off in Ukraine. At the risk of sounding like an ass, you, respectfully, don't know what the hell you're talking about.
The NRFA was signed in '97 but before that in '91, Gorbachev was given assurances about NATO not expanding to the east. Like I said, it's a poor reaction but still a reaction nonetheless. I'm sure the US or China would respond in a similar manner if folks we viewed as adversaries were pushing up on our borders and using rhetoric to demonize us to the world at the same time, not to mention sanctions, etc.
Seems like the 18 year old took it on her own. For the baby though, most definitely
