I'm feeling pretty... Blackpilled, at the moment. Maybe even worse than that. Things are bad. Things keep getting worse. Not just politically, but... As a human being. All the failed relationships, all the lost friendships, all the... Shit, that has happened in my life, is sort of getting to me pretty bad.
But more than that, it feels like we're losing. Like things... Are spiralling out of control (in Aus, but also outside it). I literally can't look at ANY popular media, or any sort of news, without being utterly bombarded by it.
So... If you've got a good "whitepill", or just... Something that counteracts all this... Existential angst, and feelings of sheer... Doom, I would appreciate hearing it, I guess. Thanks. While it lasts, and while I last.
This is the Tribulation that has started. We are in the last days of mankind. The only thing to look forward to is Christ returning soon, and cleansing this world of the scum and the lies.
In the meantime, try to find beauty in small things, outside the realm of the system. Family, children, love, nature. And above all, make sure you get good with God right now.
Funny you mention about the end times. I wanted to share about my journey within the past year, but wasn't sure of a good opportunity. Hope this reaches OP, even if he doesn't believe in God.
When BLM started rioting over George Floyd, my life turned upside down. My so called "church" somehow thinks the rioting is justified. My workplace became pozzed and "started a conversation" about "systematic racial injustice." The only person I could confide in was my mother, who lived halfway across the world.
Through the guiding of my counselor, I started looking for other churches in my area. I locked in on the one that didn't require a mask, which was depressingly rare.
And the church was far better than I hoped for. Yes, they were conservative. But they didn't resort to "own the libs" rhetorics. The pastor cared very much about what was right and pleasing to God, rather than what would score the most points against the opposition. We built a good small community group, and shared about our daily struggles of living in constant opposition. (We're in a blue state) Yes, things sucked, and they still suck. I lost my job and got evicted by in-laws for going to church in a "pandemic." But I'm far more joyful than I've ever been, now that I have support from people who actually care about the Gospel, and know how to encourage one another in our struggles.
(Addendum: The pastor cares very much about equipping us well for the world. He even invited a speaker to help us break down CRT and understand what to watch out for.)
So I have but one advice to give to OP: see if you can find a faithful church in your local area. It'll take time of trial and error, because faithful churches are far and few in between. PM me if you want more details. Note that it's not gonna immediately whitepill you. The mindset takes a long time to change.
I've been agnostic for a long, long time. I was very in to religion as a kid but turned very much against it later on.
Now the woke/ marxist movement turned me so much towards conservatism that I did not think possible.
I've recently started taking my kids to church. Is strange but it does give me a sense of calm. Not sure if I'll ever be a true believer but the wife is supportive and I feel considerably better, serene I think it would describe it best. I also sleep better.
That's the Holy Spirit working in you, my man. God is pouring it out in the last days, making people wake up. This is the REAL great awakening.
Acts 2:17-18 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
I would suggest to get a Bible, KJV is fine, and read Matthew & Revelation, for starters. You'll be up to speed with current events in no time ;).
God bless.
