Last night I had a conversation with a close friend of mine. We started talking about the economy. Full disclosure I am a full time trader i stare at charts for a living.
I've been warning him for over 2 years now that the plandemic and all the bullshit they implemented was going to cause a massive recession into a depression the likes of which we've never seen. That the credit crunch was gonna be unbelievable and that buying at home at all time highs during the plandemic was retarded and that he should stop pouring money into his 401k at his work.
He continued to pour money into those wortheless funds at work, he bought a house in 2021 which he got into a bidding war with and he even bought a new truck.
He is now complaining and blaming others about all the shit that's happening to him. He's going through a rough marriage, his work (new build developers) are now talking about massive slow downs and putting projects on suspension because the cost benefit analysis is weak etc etc.
He's mad at wall street for his problems. Just blindly pointing the finger at anyone but the mirror.
He's also giving me attitude lately because he finds it absurd that I can make money on a declining economy.
This is normie mentality 101. THIS is the core of the problem. Now I wouldn't even bother talking about the DS with him cause there is no point.
Good points KimJung-Un. You’re right. Normies will go to their graves blaming someone/something other than themselves….very selfish (worldly) thing to do.
I had a conversation with a normie about Ukraine the other day. What a fun topic to talk to him about! The normie was going on about Russian aggression and how they are taking over more territory to develop a zone around them to protect them (Russians) from European invaders. He laughed like it was a stupid thing to do because the Western Europe territories would never want to invade Russia (sarcasm here —- no way would the US and other Nazis would use Ukraine to attack Russia). I asked him, “well it sounded like most of the people from those territories wanted Russia to take them back.” He studdered and went into some BS about tribal zones and different preferences of each tribe….Normies will NEVER stop convincing themselves that they are the smarter person in the room.
If somebody on Fox or CNN didn't tell them what to think, they can't.
