TV is the reason people are dopey. I'll include myself in that category too. I have spent, make that wasted, countless hours watching that shitbox. I don't like to think about things I could have accomplished if I didn't get hooked on that thing.
What's odd is that I rarely watched TV as a kid ... And there was a lot of great stuff on during the early 80s. The only show I remember having to watch was anything dealing with that alien invasion show V ... Buck Rogers was another one. However, I spent most of my time learning to program my TRS80 CoCo, trying to figure out how video games worked (I tore apart my Atari for kicks ... Never did much more than that, but it looked really cool :-) ). I read a lot too ... Boring shit though like encyclopedias and atlases :-). I didn't watch many popular 80s era shows until I was an adult.
Anyway, outside of renting a movie, watching the news, or watching a baseball game here and there, I'd rarely watch the shitbox. I was like that up until 2007 or so ... I remember my wife and I getting hooked on Lost. We caught ourselves up renting the seasons that were available ... We then went back and rented a bunch of shows I missed over the years ... 24 comes to mind. Nip/Tuck was another. We basically became couch potatoes.
This lasted about 5 years. I'd get pissed off about all of the liberal bullshit I'd see, but I'd still tune in like a good little hypnotized bitch. While my political views didn't shift, I changed. I gained weight, became very lethargic, and stopped working on my various hobbies.
What snapped me out of it was the realization that I wasted thousands of hours staring at TV shows. Since then, I only tend to download tv shows/movies I hear about that sound interesting. Outside of that, I don't stare at it anymore :-) ... When I do, it's usually later in the evening when I need to unwind and shut my brain off.
I'm pretty fucking sure that had I watched the shitbox since I was a kid, I'd probably be either not or half awake like most normies out there. It almost seems to induce a sort of cerebral short circuit ... Your mind is there, but it's absorbing something worthless and basically in a state of rest. While that's good on occasion (your mind needs rest like anything else in your body), too much will eventually cripple it. I can see how people become mind numb if they watched the shitbox religiously their entire lives ... It's progressively gotten worse over the years. It's at the point where it does thinking for you if you aren't cognizant of TVs attempts to program people.
Anyway, fixing TV would go a long way towards restoring sanity amongst the public. If these people were to be disconnected from mainstream media for a couple of weeks, I'm sure more than half of the population addicted to that trash would wake up. That's why I'm really hoping for 10 days of darkness ... It'd be amazing to see what people would realize with no MSM out there crippling people's minds.
I agree with a lot of this sentiment but I also think humans by our nature always obsess over something. It could be work, it could be TV, it could be working out, it could even be volunteering. Do what you love to do and don't always feel bad for having some sort of entertainment or hobby.
Have I played a ton of games? Sure. But I also always socialize while gaming with friends, I play with my son, I live a productive life and have a family and stay involved. So many people act like any form of entertainment is bad but nothing in life is that simple. Don't let it enslave you but what would you accomplish if you weren't watching TV?
You could have battled the deep state and gotten murdered, you could have played in the corrupt game of business and tried to grind your way against taxes and regulations with a 20% chabce to succeed statisticslly...really aside from becoming a master at wood working or some craft you are always going to be involved in the corrupt system somehow.
I mainly enjoy playing older stuff personally ... I can't get into most modern games. I prefer games like Defender, Tempest, and others that were more skill based (yeah, I'm old ... so what! :-P). They're a great way to unwind too. As for newer games, I kinda dig that Lego series of games ... my kid gets a kick out of them ... they have some pretty good problem solving aspects too.
Outside of that, nothing has really impressed me enough to get me sucked into playing it for more than an hour at a time. I think the last "new" game I really enjoyed was "Warhawk" on the PS3 ... but that was only fun if the teams were playing seriously and communicating with one another.
I have to admit to some bias when it comes to video games ... they are what led me to my current career ... they're an awesome programming exercise ... when designed properly, you tend to learn a LOT about computer hardware in addition to "good" software design. On top of that, you learn a lot about probability (if you want to make good AI), physics (adds realism), and music :-). While I don't design games for a living, teaching myself how to make them was invaluable.
Of course, spending every waking hour of the day playing video games is no different than pissing your life away watching shows on TV. There are some exceptions ... I've seen teams of people playing casually on shooters like Call of Duty interact well ... they almost play it like a team sport. That's good ... it keeps you active mentally working with others to achieve a goal. However, those are the exception ... most seem to sit in front of a game like a zombie and just aimlessly wander around shooting people completely unaware that a particular game may have a goal.
Sounds like we are identical :-) ... though I do not have a switch yet. I loved the first Zelda ... I never got into any of the subsequent ones. The only RPGs I liked were SciFi ones on the PC. SSI had an outstanding Buck Rogers RPG ... there was one by EA that came out around 1988 I want to say ... loved that as well though the name of it is eluding me right now.
I remember when I first saw Doom ... disbelief was putting it lightly. I had my brain wrapped around how they pulled off Castle Wolfenstein 3D (still wasn't an easy feat ... that game ran great on an older 286) ... Doom was a work of art though. Everything from the game's design to the engineering they pulled off was incredible.
My friend had a 486DX with a VLB graphics card ... it ran perfectly on that machine (I think it was a 66MHz machine). I had a 486SX when it came out ... the demo ran OK, but the graphics didn't look as good. I didn't have all of the fancy floating point hardware nor did I have the VLB graphics :-) ... plus my machine only ran at 25MHz :-). Still, it's amazing to think that a game like that could run on that kind of hardware. It's a testament to those engineers that brought that game to life.
I just thought of another game I was insanely addicted to ... Pirates! :-) ... I played the shit out of that on my Commodore 64 when I was a kid. I bought the 'remastered' version that came out ~ 2005. I played it for 48 hours straight ... I had to uninstall it since I was a contractor at the time and didn't need that kind of distraction :-) .
In order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are about WE FURTHER DISTRACT THEM WITH AMUSEMENTS, GAMES, PASTIMES, PASSIONS, PEOPLE'S PALACES .... SOON WE SHALL BEGIN THROUGH THE PRESS TO PROPOSE COMPETITIONS IN ART, IN SPORT IN ALL KINDS: these interests will finally
distract their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelled to oppose them. Growing more and more disaccustomed to reflect and form any opinions of their own, people will begin to talk in the same tone as we because we alone shall be offering them new directions for thought ... of course through such persons as will not be suspected of solidarity with us.
What a great post and I applaud your honesty. It’s interesting what the programmers were doing to you in order- first Lost -24../7 comes to mind, nipping n tucking ...you. Just a thought. Isn’t that what they’re trying to do to us all day long and they tell us,,in their tell a vision. Good insight from you on breaking free of their spells 🪄
Have been re-reading Atlas Shrugged, can confirm- she nailed the complacency, incompetence, corruption etc- but the utter levels of stupidity and dependence ON oppression that we see today would make Ms. Rand throw her pencil in the air and say FUCK IT. We are approaching critical mass that matches (and arguably exceeds) any dystopian hellhole we can find in any book. On one hand it gives me solace to know that ppl decades ago could see the cancer forming (so we’re not crazy), but on the other hand, it’s just gone completely unchecked this entire time right in everyone’s face, so it’s not exactly reassuring….feeling down tonight frens, damn do I want this movie to be over already
We know there is much that can be done. Do not waste your time and energy on those who will not respond to the needs of humanity at this time. Focus instead on those who are willing to respond and take action. Encourage and support them, surround yourself with them. Find ways to increase your preparedness and resiliency together. Honor and grow your connection to the strength and integrity God has given you, and honor it in others. Stay focused on what you and your companions can do.
Oh I know she did, whole sections on the media and NPCs, could be written for today almost to the letter…just the ‘multi mask wearing, while alone in the car, foaming at the mouth at the idea of children breathing free bc their tv told them too’ branch covidiots seem so over the top…but as I type this, it does feel that she may not be as surprised as I thought. Just the obvious evolution of moral-less stupidity
A- F#%¥**g man —?I yes grew up in the 60’s/70’s and lived in a very rural life but was surrounded by Cowboys who could quote Shakespeare as well as rope, ride, fix fence and coddle kids—where men were men and real women appreciate real men : fathers to their children
Idiocracy got it pretty spot the fuck on. Not a novel, but he wrote the script. And he told the story about as humorously as could possibly be done. It’s almost a documentary at this point.
Canadian bureaucrats and insane leftists and Branch Covidian Karens are in my view the majority of the people in Ottawa, they are the ones who are hating the sweet, sweet sound of freedom. These are the people who are the real life Nazis, they are the ones who have cheered on every single human rights abuse as Castreau trod the well-walked path of daily, incremental infringments on human rights, they are the ones who have been on full pay no matter what the lockdown. They are the ones who (in some cases) have been more than happy to shelter behind the "exemptions" enjoyed by Parliamentarians and their staff. I couldn't give a flying "HONK" how upset their broken sick little minds are, I wish them nothing but ill and look forward to them enjoying their eternity in the fires of Hell. But that's just me.
I've been on full pay during the lockdown and have even worked a lot of paid overtime covering for level 1 IT folks calling out due to the clot shot side effects.
Did have to file for a religious exemption and that was about the worst thing I've went through on a personal level.
We locked in low house payments and purchased a car during the Trump Administration, and I work from home so gasoline prices don't affect us much, Only big difference has been the price of groceries, but I spend much less on groceries since Biden was installed into office because I switched to intermittent fasting/OMAD shortly before that and have lost over 6 inches on my waist already.
With that being said, I've simply been thankful and have praised God for this. It hasn't blinded me to others' suffering or how much harder it is to not comply with mask mandates with Karens everywhere.
I'm grateful it's not really a problem here in Texas as I haven't been asked for a vaccine card once and it's very easy to boycott any stores that do try to enforce mask mandates.
My husband calls it “electronic babysitting.” He thinks it’s the root cause of the “desocialization” of America kids. His sister’s kids, in their late 20’s, can’t hold a conversation without anxiety attacks.
Felt compelled to clean this up so sharing my efforts. Spelling, grammar, and paragraphs matter!
I can't even hear my TV over this nonsense. I can't even hear my TV.
I know it's just a single fucking sentence [it's really two], but I'll be damned if there's one that so perfectly encapsulates the absolute state of modern society.
This person is not angry at being locked in like an animal, of their freedoms being curtailed, the government literally deciding what goes into their body, and what doesn't, the replacement of their culture, the impending economic collapse, no.
But you know what gets them angry?
You know what grinds their gears?
The noise of people who actually protest drowning out their TV. That's what gets them to stand up and shake their fist in anger.
Comfort above all else, no matter what happens tomorrow.
I said it before and I'll say it again - no novelist who painted a dystopian picture of the future could have predicted people would be this fucking retarded.
Complacent, sure, but to be so utterly fucking brain-dead to the point they do not only not resist but actively support and demand their oppression while getting precisely nothing out of it?
This would baffle just about any 20th century intellectual.
to the point they do not only not resist but actively support and demand
to the point they not only do not resist, but actively support and demand...
For improved clarity I would suggest "they not only don't resist," or even better, "they not only refrain from resisting." TBF it was pretty good to start with IMHO, by today's internet standards :p
My neighbour is vaxxed for travel, but anti-vax in principle. He lives alone and spends every day adjacent to a giant TV screen. He is outraged at everything going on but can't seem to see the infiltrator in his living room. In conversation, he sporadically slips into spurts of regurgitating what the TV news told him. I can clearly make out the out-of-character vocabulary as he talks about "cases", "deaths", etc., but he's unaware and unable to consciously resist saying what the parasite is telling him to say.
Actually it's those same intellectuals that set the stage for this type of thing to happen. Go back 100 years and look at what happened when Marx and Engels were spewing their communist bullshit. Fast forward to today's institutions of "higher learning". The same garbage is being disseminated into the minds of our kids. Now it's infected every part of society from medicine to religion to the military. It's all pure sweet Communism with the same end result. A few "elites" keep everything and the rest get treated with meager rations to keep them in line.
Baffle the intellectuals, those that produce nothing of value? It's been a con job they've been using for generations now to take what they don't deserve. The schools are full of self-serving elites who manufacture the CRT, LGBTQ, BLM poison that infects minds and filters thru society to the point where nobody can trust the government, medicine, law, our money, our food, nothing.
You're right about everything else because it's the result of a century of intellectuals tell us they know better. They don't know squat other than how to steal money, elections and people's freedoms. Now it's in plain sight thanks to Trump. We see it, we know it and if we don't act to correct it, we deserve the results. It's one thing when someone breaks into your home and steals your possessions but it's another when you leave your door wide open for anyone to take anything they want.
Large parts of society including education and medicine need to be re-imagined, re-defined with safeguards in place to protect us all from these elitist con artists. Same for politics starting with term limits and voter ID. Eliminate the Fed and reign in banks and Wall Street with sound money. And while we're at it, let's kick the party off by arresting the corrupt politicians and their cronies and start with a new system of putting honest people in office and eliminate lobbyists.
People have been programmed and poisoned since birth. Injections, food, school, tv/movies/music, alcohol, weed - this type of spiritless human has never existed historically until now.
It is about the self centered lunatics, not about freedom for all. These people can’t see beyond their nose nor do they have any gray matter between their ears. It is amazing how missing one’s weekly program puts them in a tizzy. Remember if you are locked up for not following the government’s bidding, you will miss a lifetime of irrelevant t.v. shows!
Someone is ridiculously assuming these fuckers actually think?
So many of them are born stupid to start with and then gradually shut what little they do have off to the point where this shit occurs.
Dont let it surprise you, this is what happens when the Darwin principle is removed from society.
To the point where it actually becpmes destruction of the fittest.
You figure out why
Oh right, because people were whining about traffic during the 2020 protests.
And the governement deciding what goes in my body? That reminds me of the additives they put into the drinking water. Oh and all the vaccines that were required for me to go to school. And all the regulated ingredients in my food.
I sure know I've been hearing about culture replacement for as long as I've been alive, but also, I never felt like someone was replacing mine. Sorry to hear it I guess.
As for being locked in like an animal? I don't know about you but I've gotten out so much more since 2020. Sure, it's less time in bars and more time walking around and riding my motorcycle, but hey I'm not going to complain about that. Friend time has been much more about quality over quantity.
But seriously, while I think the truckers are a bunch of snowflakes whining about their fear of vaccines they don't understand, I ABSOLUTELY respect their right to protest. But I also shake my head at how they were the same ones who told the protesters two years ago that things would go better for them if they would just comply.
AMEN Brotha! Wear those downvotes with pride! The Holodomor red pill will quite possibly be the most difficult for people on our side to swallow. But it's true!
TV is the reason people are dopey. I'll include myself in that category too. I have spent, make that wasted, countless hours watching that shitbox. I don't like to think about things I could have accomplished if I didn't get hooked on that thing.
What's odd is that I rarely watched TV as a kid ... And there was a lot of great stuff on during the early 80s. The only show I remember having to watch was anything dealing with that alien invasion show V ... Buck Rogers was another one. However, I spent most of my time learning to program my TRS80 CoCo, trying to figure out how video games worked (I tore apart my Atari for kicks ... Never did much more than that, but it looked really cool :-) ). I read a lot too ... Boring shit though like encyclopedias and atlases :-). I didn't watch many popular 80s era shows until I was an adult.
Anyway, outside of renting a movie, watching the news, or watching a baseball game here and there, I'd rarely watch the shitbox. I was like that up until 2007 or so ... I remember my wife and I getting hooked on Lost. We caught ourselves up renting the seasons that were available ... We then went back and rented a bunch of shows I missed over the years ... 24 comes to mind. Nip/Tuck was another. We basically became couch potatoes.
This lasted about 5 years. I'd get pissed off about all of the liberal bullshit I'd see, but I'd still tune in like a good little hypnotized bitch. While my political views didn't shift, I changed. I gained weight, became very lethargic, and stopped working on my various hobbies.
What snapped me out of it was the realization that I wasted thousands of hours staring at TV shows. Since then, I only tend to download tv shows/movies I hear about that sound interesting. Outside of that, I don't stare at it anymore :-) ... When I do, it's usually later in the evening when I need to unwind and shut my brain off.
I'm pretty fucking sure that had I watched the shitbox since I was a kid, I'd probably be either not or half awake like most normies out there. It almost seems to induce a sort of cerebral short circuit ... Your mind is there, but it's absorbing something worthless and basically in a state of rest. While that's good on occasion (your mind needs rest like anything else in your body), too much will eventually cripple it. I can see how people become mind numb if they watched the shitbox religiously their entire lives ... It's progressively gotten worse over the years. It's at the point where it does thinking for you if you aren't cognizant of TVs attempts to program people.

Incorrect.
Television is programming; vidya is simulation entrapment.
The goal is to ascend the simulation, not entrap oneself further in a simulation inside a simulation.
Meditate. Can you?
I mainly enjoy playing older stuff personally ... I can't get into most modern games. I prefer games like Defender, Tempest, and others that were more skill based (yeah, I'm old ... so what! :-P). They're a great way to unwind too. As for newer games, I kinda dig that Lego series of games ... my kid gets a kick out of them ... they have some pretty good problem solving aspects too.
Outside of that, nothing has really impressed me enough to get me sucked into playing it for more than an hour at a time. I think the last "new" game I really enjoyed was "Warhawk" on the PS3 ... but that was only fun if the teams were playing seriously and communicating with one another.
I have to admit to some bias when it comes to video games ... they are what led me to my current career ... they're an awesome programming exercise ... when designed properly, you tend to learn a LOT about computer hardware in addition to "good" software design. On top of that, you learn a lot about probability (if you want to make good AI), physics (adds realism), and music :-). While I don't design games for a living, teaching myself how to make them was invaluable.
Of course, spending every waking hour of the day playing video games is no different than pissing your life away watching shows on TV. There are some exceptions ... I've seen teams of people playing casually on shooters like Call of Duty interact well ... they almost play it like a team sport. That's good ... it keeps you active mentally working with others to achieve a goal. However, those are the exception ... most seem to sit in front of a game like a zombie and just aimlessly wander around shooting people completely unaware that a particular game may have a goal.
Moderation is always the key! :-)
Sounds like we are identical :-) ... though I do not have a switch yet. I loved the first Zelda ... I never got into any of the subsequent ones. The only RPGs I liked were SciFi ones on the PC.

Have been re-reading Atlas Shrugged, can confirm- she nailed the complacency, incompetence, corruption etc- but the utter levels of stupidity and dependence ON oppression that we see today would make Ms. Rand throw her pencil in the air and say FUCK IT. We are approaching critical mass that matches (and arguably exceeds) any dystopian hellhole we can find in any book. On one hand it gives me solace to know that ppl decades ago could see the cancer forming (so we’re not crazy), but on the other hand, it’s just gone completely unchecked this entire time right in everyone’s face, so it’s not exactly reassuring….feeling down tonight frens, damn do I want this movie to be over already
We know there is much that can be done. Do not waste your time and energy on those who will not respond to the needs of humanity at this time.

Honor and grow your connection to the strength and integrity God has given you, and honor it in others. Stay focused on what you and your companions can do.
Atlas Shrugged was the only novel I read twice - at least 20 years between the 2 reads and wouldn't mind a 3rd.
Oh I know she did, whole sections on the media and NPCs, could be written for today almost to the letter…just the ‘multi mask wearing, while alone in the car, foaming at the mouth at the idea of children breathing free bc their tv told them too’ branch covidiots seem so over the top…but as I type this, it does feel that she may not be as surprised as I thought.

Pick up David Ickes “everything you need to know”
It’s all a mind fuck. Ascend the simulation.
Will def check it out fren!
A- F#%¥**g man —?I yes grew up in the 60’s/70’s and lived in a very rural life but was surrounded by Cowboys who could quote Shakespeare as well as rope, ride, fix fence and coddle kids—where men were men and real women appreciate real men : fathers to their children
Sounds like a failing of today's cowboys, no?
Idk areas where cowboys live are not usually the problem.
The ulterior motive! Make the normies not hear their programmin' box!
Idiocracy got it pretty spot the fuck on. Not a novel, but he wrote the script. And he told the story about as humorously as could possibly be done. It’s almost a documentary at this point.
I swear, offer most people free Healthcare, food and tv/movie streaming and they would give up everything.
Throw in some beer and lottery tickets, and it's a sure thing!
So THAT is the precipice? /s
For some it unironically might be.
Tell me TV, tell me. What should I feel? What should I be thinking? What should I be tweeting? Oh, no, I cant hear the TV, my thoughts are empty.
Canadian bureaucrats and insane leftists and Branch Covidian Karens are in my view the majority of the people in Ottawa, they are the ones who are hating the sweet, sweet sound of freedom.

He is outraged at everything going on but can't seem to see the infiltrator in his living room. In conversation, he sporadically slips into spurts of regurgitating what the TV news told him. I can clearly make out the out-of-character vocabulary as he talks about "cases", "deaths", etc., but he's unaware and unable to consciously resist saying what the parasite is telling him to say.
TURN OFF YOUR FUCKING TV!
Brutal, dude. He just absolutely obliterated that fucker...
Actually it's those same intellectuals that set the stage for this type of thing to happen. Go back 100 years and look at what happened when Marx and Engels were spewing their communist bullshit. Fast forward to today's institutions of "higher learning". The same garbage is being disseminated into the minds of our kids. Now it's infected every part of society from medicine to religion to the military. It's all pure sweet Communism with the same end result. A few "elites" keep everything and the rest get treated with meager rations to keep them in line.
Baffle the intellectuals, those that produce nothing of value? It's been a con job they've been using for generations now to take what they don't deserve. The schools are full of self-serving elites who manufacture the CRT, LGBTQ, BLM poison that infects minds and filters thru society to the point where nobody can trust the government, medicine, law, our money, our food, nothing.
You're right about everything else because it's the result of a century of intellectuals tell us they know better. They don't know squat other than how to steal money, elections and people's freedoms. Now it's in plain sight thanks to Trump. We see it, we know it and if we don't act to correct it, we deserve the results. It's one thing when someone breaks into your home and steals your possessions but it's another when you leave your door wide open for anyone to take anything they want.
Large parts of society including education and medicine need to be re-imagined, re-defined with safeguards in place to protect us all from these elitist con artists. Same for politics starting with term limits and voter ID. Eliminate the Fed and reign in banks and Wall Street with sound money. And while we're at it, let's kick the party off by arresting the corrupt politicians and their cronies and start with a new system of putting honest people in office and eliminate lobbyists.
There have been no intellectuals in the past century.
People have been programmed and poisoned since birth. Injections, food, school, tv/movies/music, alcohol, weed - this type of spiritless human has never existed historically until now.
Which of the above could you improve on?
Boob tube and low expectations
It is about the self centered lunatics, not about freedom for all. These people can’t see beyond their nose nor do they have any gray matter between their ears. It is amazing how missing one’s weekly program puts them in a tizzy. Remember if you are locked up for not following the government’s bidding, you will miss a lifetime of irrelevant t.v. shows!
My Dad put it bluntly. Dumber than dog shit.
Ever see the movie idiocracy... we are officially living it..
Someone is ridiculously assuming these fuckers actually think? So many of them are born stupid to start with and then gradually shut what little they do have off to the point where this shit occurs. Dont let it surprise you, this is what happens when the Darwin principle is removed from society. To the point where it actually becpmes destruction of the fittest. You figure out why
You said it!
As AOC said regarding protests making people uncomfortable: “That’s the point.”
Pol still bringin' the heat
Why does this seem so familiar?
Oh right, because people were whining about traffic during the 2020 protests.
And the governement deciding what goes in my body? That reminds me of the additives they put into the drinking water. Oh and all the vaccines that were required for me to go to school. And all the regulated ingredients in my food.
I sure know I've been hearing about culture replacement for as long as I've been alive, but also, I never felt like someone was replacing mine. Sorry to hear it I guess.
As for being locked in like an animal? I don't know about you but I've gotten out so much more since 2020. Sure, it's less time in bars and more time walking around and riding my motorcycle, but hey I'm not going to complain about that. Friend time has been much more about quality over quantity.
But seriously, while I think the truckers are a bunch of snowflakes whining about their fear of vaccines they don't understand, I ABSOLUTELY respect their right to protest. But I also shake my head at how they were the same ones who told the protesters two years ago that things would go better for them if they would just comply.
Isnt the hypocrisy mind numbing?
I think part of the Great Awakening is for us to each get a piece of each other's shit.
50 years from now they'll teach kids world wide that trump starved and tortured (and maybe gassed) mexican kids on the border.
98% of living people will religiously believe that as truth
Pray now so that doesn't happen. Don't give up!
They could start teaching that narrative now, and the leftists would start repeating it as if it’s true.
AMEN Brotha! Wear those downvotes with pride! The Holodomor red pill will quite possibly be the most difficult for people on our side to swallow. But it's true!
