So, if I tried to remember every detail that would be an entire novel youd have to download as a pdf file LOL. But, let me try and just try and tell this best way I can without it being too long and/or with too much filler -
I turn 35 in a week - When I was in middle school, I was that kid that thought he was being original but i was actually being programmed. I thought being "bad" was edgy and that made me cool. So, i'd listen to bands like Deicide, which that word literally stands for "killing God" - I would generally just, go against whatever was "normal" because even back then I knew something was wrong I just chose to go against values and God and etc instead of the true enemy.
Through the years, some "Conspiracy" things would come up that id resonate with. Be it anything from music like Immortal Technique to someone like David Icke / Alex Jones etc - I just enjoyed diving into rabbit holes
Politically? I avoiding that stuff. red vs blue democrat and republican stuff was just like blood vs crip for old rich people to me LOL. but - i ended up being on the "Right" because the Left forced that hand. they just.... Yeah, if i had to choose i sure wasnt choosing them. But, Trump felt bigger than that. Then my rabbit hole became the Q Drops... I wasnt expecting this place to be filled with love for God like a church though. I embraced that.
so, yada yada - I was more or less one of the people who came in the migrant caravan from Reddit when that place finally went scorched earth. I lurked there, and then i lurked here. But, the more i lurked....the more i felt inclined to actually participate because finally i found my tribe lol this place is Olive Garden because.....when you're here youre family
When I came here though, I was taking care of my grandpa on his final stages of muscular dystrophy at a point where life was just suffering for him, and this place really gave me a loving embrace when i needed it just in comment sections but it also gave me the kind of HOPE the "Real news" never would broadcast.
LOL so, some parts of the story were serious but hope I made you frens laugh along the way as well. But, seriously - one day i came to this page and suddenly i had a place i was going to every day and here we are now. Happy Easter, ty you all for being part of this community, and GOD BLESS
Obama really. I was expecting Obama to be amazing but things didnt feel right when he bailed out the banks and started talking about racism. By this time I had already left US, but would travel there every few months and with each trip I started seeing with my own eyes what I can only best describe as "crumbling of the US". Even though the tech industry was doing great, the rest of the people seem to be dejected and unhappy. Once in a taxi with a black driver I asked him if he was proud of Obama, and he went on a tirade of how Obama has "screwed up everything" and they were much better off before him.
And yet the media would sing praises for him and what more, when I shared these experiences with others in Australia, they found it. impossible to believe since it was so different to what was portrayed.
bin Laden's killing and throwing away his body, billions to Iran, drone strikes - by the time Trump started talking about the BC, I started tuning in just for the entertainment value. I was expecting Obama to brandish his BC and throw mud into Trump's face, but it never happened.
So I had been casually following Trump on reddit The_Donald on and off, but when the BLM and Covid started, thats when I found TDW and started seriously doing research.
Your experience is fascinating, especially as someone observing from the outside. The whole bin Laden affair was too off and I never believed any of it. Thanks for more in depth history!
