"If you trust God, trust reality, and trust yourself, why do you need to trust the things someone wants to sell you on television?"
^THIS^
When I came back home from Iraq I felt like I got unplugged from the Matrix. Suburban America felt like Disneyland. Fake, plastic, safe, polite, a fever dream of convenience and ease. I knew that wasn't reality; I knew how humans could treat each other and how little we needed to survive.
I wasn't aware of the conspiracy theories at that point, but I knew everything was fake and ghey, and plotted my escape from the rat race.
The past few years I've gone down the rabbit hole, and while it did blow my mind, it actually all makes sense now. I have a very real understanding of why it's all fake and ghey.
You should trust God only. Dr. Fauci's opinion is as high in my mind as my bartender, pastor, insurance salesman and crazy uncle. They're just humans like yourself.
Quoting: BLACK GHOST I think you got it wrong and are missing few things.
That was EXACTLY the true reality, that "fake suburban style". Be more practical and think from mere facts of history.
golden 50s, Europe of today, Japan, all "rich and civilized countries"….
You may not know that in 50s America had 50% of ENTIRE WORLD production! Factories, farms, construction, research, academia ... more so than in period of New Deal and WW2 militarization, except entire Europe and Japan were in ruins.
You can not even imagine how much TRUE wealth that it was. Only Roman Empire has been richer in the entire history of a planet!
IT IS THAT WEALTH THAT WAS EARNED that billionaires destroy in recent decades.
The rest of the world has always been a shit-hole! And most remain so to this day.
