Good advice. I have been off TV and cable since 2008 when Obama bailed out the banks and the auto industry and nobody saw Mr. Hope and Change turn into Mr. More of the Same. I quite everything and torrented anything I wanted to watch or listen to unless it was independent. I stopped watching new movies around the same time because they were entertaining but childish superhero movies or awful social justice or white guilt dramas, it was not relevant in any positive way to my life.
I stopped with new music around 2013 because it became harder to find good new music, although I still find and listen to new things, but a lot less than in my younger years. I had Netflix and cancelled that after black racist content like "Dear White People" and did not want to support it anymore. I still have Amazon Prime for shipping goods and books, but I never watch their content, thinking about cancelling that too.
this is a great comment!
I feel the same way a lot of the time. I am fortunate in a way because I grew up in a rural Christian family who always said that I would be persecuted for not going along with the crowd, I never knew how right they were. We didn't have cable TV when I was younger, partly because we could not afford it, but also because my church was based (evangelical fundamentalist) and discouraged the corrupting influence of entertainment culture. I moved away, and my parents watch the news but still live rural, so they've got retarded ideas in their heads, but also talk to me regularly and kind of think everything government related is stupid.
I have always been a disagreeable, critically thinking loner, not in a creepy socially retarded way, but in a way that I can't hide my dislike of people that don't care about truth and morality, so I don't make many friends. So the four or so friends I do have are based and redpilled, and are struggling through this like me. My wife is a smart woman and is based. We grew and changed together from our early twenties, and I can always talk to her about what is happening.
My friends and I have been having get togethers straight through all this lock down nonsense, and have had many phone calls. Myself and one of my friends are a decade deep into reading and learning about the truth of our false reality, and are the most informed. My other three friends are struggling more with reconciling their world view with what is happening, because their bubbles have been penetrated. I have heard them all talk about drug overdoses and suicide over the past year among young men they know, and it is just tragic. All of our mental health has deteriorated, and we all feel like we're living in a Black Mirror episode.
He won a small minority government, so he lost significant support, it was just that dumbasses running against him were probably as bad or worse.
It's 100% a personality thing. I've always been a cooperative, capable, and smart person, but I've always butted heads with authoritarian figures like teachers, supervisors, and administrators. It comes down to trait "agreeableness," and I am very low in that trait.
Fuck that, Biden becomes president on Jan 20 or he does not. There's no plan after that, if he's president and sworn in what then? The plan is to wait until he's served and then...? Is the plan to wait until Cumonya Harris pushes old Joe down a flight of stairs and then she becomes the president?
Restless nights since Nov 3, after Jan 20 it is all in, or all out.
It's hilarious watching them talk about it like they're describing horrifying and terrible things, and the more she says I am just sitting here like "yes.. yes exactly.. no exactly that's exactly right, they're right.. well of course they think that, Because that's true!"
