My kid (25) voted for Qidan. I respected his right to choose. Then he bought GME after following “DeepFuckingValue” on Reddit. He panicked when it dipped and sold 90 of his 100 shares and (only) doubled his investment in a month. He was bummed. He was angered when the powers that be stopped people from buying. First we talked about protecting your capital is the #1 rule. Then we talked about the forces at work and the battle for hearts and minds. He took a few red pills. I explained my red pill was 911. Who bought millions of dollars in puts on the airline stocks the week before? They made billions! Plus the free falling twin towers not to mention the 3rd building (hardened for a nuclear strike) going down several days later. I lost friends over that. They could not stomach the red pill. I asked him if he saw the irony in someone named DeepFuckingValue buying a junk company like GME. The only deep value is knowing a huge short squeeze is coming. Then, I really baked his noodle when I asked him, “who do you threw the billions at GME to force that short squeeze?” That was a killer whale taking out the apex predator sharks (hedge funds). Do the math. No way millions of little guys outgunned the hedge funds. He said wow Dad that’s a lot to think about. Then he said, do you always notice stuff like this? I said, my job is to leave the world a better place then I found it for you and all those I love. So yes, I do.

on the 9/11 stuff honestly I was just looking for an explanation of why the towers fell straight downward like a demolition implosion and not like they took an impact from the side and all i got was mocked... people assume you're taking a definitive stance on something just because you ask questions
We were trained to do that (ex leftist here) it’s being baked into the online and media culture.
I’ve realized my behavior and that of others emulates television to a disturbing degree.
The more I look into everything the more I realize what a dumb fucking animal I am.
I am not sure if its a coincidence but the leftists push the idea of Left Brain thinking (logic and facts), while completely suppressing Right Brain thinking (instincts)
youre not a dumb animal. youre a person who learns and evolves and changes their model of reality based on new information. all part of life my friend
