I used to dismiss https://www.ingersolllockwood.com/ but now I think it could be hugely important.
Used to think "it's all part of the show" was exaggerated and silly, but now I find myself wondering if white hats have their hand in nearly every major news story.
Going the other way...
I'm embarrassed to admit I followed Lin Wood during the first part of 2021. Now certain he's a fraud.
Until late last year I was convinced the military was about to roll in anytime a big story broke. Now I see that sort of thinking as counterproductive hopium that leads only to chronic letdown and fatigue.
If this thread catches on I'll come up with more.
I used to avidly follow the news headlines as if it meant anything. Now, I can barely stomach it. Even here, it seems pointless. I largely come here for the interpersonal posts ("My father just woke up", "My sister was a lib and now she's maga", "My triple jabbed aunt just died", etc).
I don't really believe anything we see or hear about anymore.
I've been taking breaks because this was consuming so much of my life it was affecting my physical health even. I needed to get back in the gym and lower my stress levels, listening to political podcasts all day long was not helping my focus during workouts.
I also feel like I got so far ahead of the curve that I keep outgrowing those podcasts and livestreams, hearing someone else doombitching about stories I already knew about days earlier had gotten old. Those shows are for those still waking up as far as I'm concerned I don't even tune into Salty Cracker as often this past month.
You me same
