I generally watch every rally and speech, and listen to every non-financial X22 Report.
But because we're a bit ahead of the curve compared to a lot of people in the information realm (though we are all still learning), I can find it hard to fully invest in these things anymore.
Because narratives rely on repetition, no matter what it is. It's a known fact of politics. You gotta REPEAT.
But when you're already "there", the repetition starts to get tiresome.
I know what Dave will say a lot of the time, as it's generally a collected presentation of the anon news we all dig through.
I know what Trump says, and can time the "and I'm proud to be an American..." intros to the second.
I know it's an infowar, but sometimes you just want something big to happen publicly as a bit of catharsis, or at least the illusion of something happening.
Of course, my desire for even an illusion of something happening probably means I'm nowhere as intellectual as I think I am.
I don't know. I feel like "I'm already there", and need to start improving my immediate life with the morals and values I've developed in this movement, rather than wait for some big slow-moving clandestine operation to appease my need for a clean wrap up of the narrative.
I watch President Trump nowadays, simply to see if there are any comms.
It's hard to stay engaged, but it's harder to unplug.
Yes! I agree. I don’t watch any rallies, and I was at Jan6 - so that’s saying a lot.
I used to listen to X 22 every night. I haven’t listen to him for a long time. It’s just the same old same old.
We already know.
At some point, we reach data and information saturation.
That's why I love DEFECTED and Devolution Power Hour (Wed) with JH and BB.
These programs have like 3 or 4 major chunks of information, but lots and lots of distillation. Dave at 22 is like beer. you can only drink so much. But Defected etc is like vodka or whisky. Highly distilled.
That might seem a counter-intuitive analogy, but the point is, that when you reach information saturation, you need to kick in higher gears of distilling the information that you have, refining it down and down and down, so that you have a manageable and potent concentrate. It becomes more about HOW you think than about WHAT you know.
I listened to Dave a LOT during 2019 and 2020, but once I hit 2021, and Q stopped posting, I just moved on. Not because Dave changed, but rather, because he didn't change. Which is fine. I suspect his target audience continues to get turnover, with new folks patching in. But what I needed at that point was a higher grade of informational processing.
Dave has some great spotlight interviews tho.
I just posted something like this before reading your comment. Agree. I was saying I moved from Praying Medic to X22 and now am on Badlands. I really do like JH and BB the best so far. I have listed to DEFECTED more than Power Hour though mostly because I didn't know that Power Hour was them. When I went to Wednesday show I thought it was someone else. I will check it out.
Can you listen to Badlands without downloading a special app?
Yes, go to rumble and put badlands media in the search bar. They have a number of things that will pop up in random order (1 month ago, 4 months ago, 5 days ago, etc.) Go to anything from Badlands Media and click on the underlined Badlands Media words and it will take you directly to the badlands channel. It's much easier to find the most recent stuff on their actual channel than in a general Rumble search.
I really like DEFECTED. It airs live on Sunday Night usually but I typically wait until it is rebroadcast takes about a day. The beginning intro with clips from Bug's Life, Gordy Gekko, Matrix, hilarious. Don't be turned off by the length, it's worth popping in for a bit at a time and then just resuming later. Great show for driving trips too.
Like u/HelloDolly said. I'm in a different time zone to these programs, so my preferred method is to wait for the next day, then download the audio from Rumble using (Video DownloadHelper)(https://www.downloadhelper.net/) add-on to my browser. For a small onetime fee, it has a converter function that allows you to directly rip (download) the audio from any video your browser can access. I use it all the time and have found it invaluable.
Anyway, I download the audio, slap that on my phone, and listen as I go about things, usually when I'm driving here and there.
Not sure what people using only a phone would do, but the above approach suits me well.
