What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Headed out soon to a bible study at my prepping friend's house with a pastor who lives up country with his family of 9 kids - all home schooled - who himself is part of a "prepsteaders" network. They live within a 50 mile area, each with their own specialities: some are farming animals, some keep bees, some are herb specialists, others have skills at putting up fences, buildings, others are excellent at breads and stuff, others skilled hunters.
They live in a loose network of preppers who share their skills and have contingency plans for if (or when) the police show up to (do something like force their kids to do x or y, etc). During lockdowns, many of their network secretly snuck off into the local forests (they live in a rural area with a tiny town at the center) to have worship when our tyrants dictated that churches must all be shut.
Anyway, pastor is come to the city with his wife, and we have enough faithful folks in our local network that a bible study should be good value.
Parallel societies, I have heard, have defeated the likes of communism before.
That is awesome! "Become ungovernable" incarnated!
Wow I love this. Would absolutely be part of a group like that 🥰
Thanks for these threads, Fren u/bubble_bursts🙏🏻
So I worked onsite yesterday. first time in weeks. Having most of the workforce remotely makes it hard to concentrate in the open space as there’s always someone speaking to his headset in the background.
Our « intelligent building » deams necessary to shut the stores whenever there’s a hint of sunlight. I then feel like I work in a submarine. Same smell as well.
Meeting the colleagues was a nice experience, though. Especially the new ones.
During our drink session, in the end of the afternoon, a colleague I really like went on about the « hardness of these times », especially « because of people such as Trump and Putin ». I had to carefully remind it how Trump did not start a single war during his mandate, first president to act so in decades, that he even sent soldiers home and actually went into North Korea to send the strongest messge of peace to the world. He also forgot the treaties he made Israelis and Arabs sign… Regarding Putin and Ukraine, I told him about my fellow Croats from Bosnia and how they were treaten by both Serbs and Bosnian Muslims just 30 years ago… and how comparable it is for the Donbass people who feel more Russians than Cossacks.
He went home redpilled but then I am afraid his indoctrination is not cured.
These are the kind of crumbs that will eventually open a person's eyes and wake them up when the are ready. Until then, make sure you feed his curiosity as gently as ever!
I love the euphemisms in arrowhead brackets, haha. The story of your coworker reminds me of all the times I'd talk to someone and lay out all the good arguments and have them agree and have moments of lucidity where they say, "Holy shit I actually agree with Trump, wtf?"
But once they leave, societal pressure overtakes and the struggle to be accepted by peers usually brings the programming back. Sometimes in full force where they actively dislike you, and sometimes it's as of the conversation never happened.
I had a conversation with a leftist dude in Spain one year and we talked for hours at a party. We had a mutual respect and understanding.
The following year, I went and he was decked out in Antifa gear and gave me nothing but the stink eye.
But I like to think the seeds are planted by then and it's only a matter of time.
Thank you for your efforts. It's the little efforts that count. One fact at a time.
Nice job! As time goes by we build up an expanding storehouse of undeniable facts to use as red pills.
Honestly don't recall that at all but I'd love to find out more. Commenting so I can hopefully remember to check back.

I went shopping today to an out of town shopping area. Headed for a clothes/food store I have shopped for many years catering for classical clothes rather than young fashions.
I wanted a cotton /similar skirt and a pair of thonged sandals with a back strap. No sandals like that in shop..Amazon has loads but I like to try before buying. In the...entire shop there were six skirts three in shocking pink three in navy blue same style. Three tiers .. fashionable some years ago.
This is a chain store branches every town..
I bought sandals from another shop..not the style I wanted ..again no thonged sandals with or without a back strap.but at least comfortable...and a good fit..
Is this a sign of what is to come? Shortages of everything?
My husband and I went to a nearby mall last night and shopped at JC Penney which we haven’t been to in decades. I had been shopping at Kohl’s (and he at WalMart) but no longer. I believe JC Penney was targeted for bankruptcy like Sears, Toys R Us, and GameStop by the rotten hedge funds. We both needed a wardrobe update but really we needed some specific items for an upcoming wedding so JC Penney it was.
Some observations. Much of the mall had no stores and even at 5:45 pm on a Wed, hardly anyone was at the mall. It was HOT (and we are in Central FL.) They said the entire AC for the mall was broken and had to be replaced. Interestingly at a nearby mall a few weeks ago (where we went to see Top Gun Maverick), it too was warm, although fortunately it was cool in the movie theater. A friend says that in touristy area of Orlando, all businesses have been turning up their thermostats. Obviously to save money.
JC Penney was pretty well stocked I thought. We were able to easily find what we needed. But I didn’t look at shoes at all.
I will say that the resale shops like Marshalls, Ross, etc. have been usually very empty for the past 2 years. I’m not a big shopper but the few times that I have gone into those stores, their inventory was really limited.
I’ve been seeing this since March 2020, plandemic. It’s gradually gotten worse. The stores are carrying less locally. What they do have is cheap! Lowes (hardware store like Home Depot) has stopped carrying most named brand (lights, mirrors, etc). You can’t even buy a door knob for your house. They have the display but out of stock. I used to shop the local target at least once a week if not more. They have the basics but mostly carry the good stuff online. We are living in a time large big box stores online like Amazon, Walmart & Target have just about anything you need but you can’t get it locally. I believe it’s part of the plan to control. My local TJ Maxx has more merchandise than it’s had in two years. I shop TJ, Marshall’s & Home Goods more than any other local stores. I have to drive an hour to shop HG & Marshall’s. Gabe’s (Gabriel’s up north) used to have the best selection of clothes & the last time I went it was cheap clothes. I’m also finding the clothes I’ve bought in the past two years aren’t lasting. After about four washes the clothes are rough and scratchy.
Another day we are free and Jan 6th political prisoners still sit behind bars…. have a good day.
The mid-term elections are going to determine whether the U.S. takes the socialist path or the individual responsibility path of freedom. There will be turmoil, division, chaos and violence in the Blue state cities as the Roe V. Wade decision is used as an excuse to unleash hell on America. The fake president will invoke the PEAD's directives and martial law will be declared.....the elections will be postponed at best, cancelled at worst. Get ready for more pain for America...stock up on food, ammunition and friends in your tribe. This isn't going to go away and it may signal the collapse of empire....
