Not to say that I've watched nothing. I've been mooching streaming services and sailing the high seas for a while.
But I'm driving pretty much across the entire east coast of the US to visit my parents for Christmas. So I've stopped in hotels and such, and with nothing else to do I've turned on the TV. And holy shit, the propaganda is blatant. I don't know if its because I've been removed from it for so long or what.
WWF ads using 8 year old cropped videos of Polar Bears on ice. Donate now or they'll die to climate change! Be scared!
A drug ad for some drug to remove a side effect of some other brain-altering chemicals, anti-depressants probably. You finally got your mind sorted out thank to other drugs but now you've got involuntary hand or face movements. Take our drug too! "It's not fully understood how it works but it's believed to work" Literally telling you that.
Government propaganda about kids 5 and older being eligible for the clot shots. Video of children running around playing. Having fun. Being kids. And they still included shots of children in fucking masks.
Not to mention the fact that not a single commercial features solely a white heterosexual couple. I almost got bamboozled by a jewelery ad, because the first half was nothing but white man and white woman. Then they hit you with the mandatory interracial black man white woman and homosexuals.
This was all just one commercial break. People really sit here and see this shit every 20 minutes and they express no disgust or anything at all. Like damn, I knew it was bad from memery and such but seeing it with your own eyes is horrifying
Recently someone made a post on Reddit, on the Life Pro Tips sub about mental health that got a lot of attention and a lot of bitching from redditards.
Of course our resident genius crazies there started giving each other advice, which was mostly just "get hopped on pills", then moaning about how pills are not free because evil capitalist Murica.
The kind of cult shit they pushed on each other was insane. There were people who bragged about the pills making them so drained and zombie they had to quit their jobs, but they MUST KEEP TAKING. They could work while so very mentally ill, so the drugs made them less functional as humans, but they will keep doing it.
Someone also said he/she doesn't feel like the same person anymore, like they are nor even alive, etc. but the others kept yelling at them about how they just need to keep taking it because it will work. Or to take more pills to make it better.
I also wonder if said people were ever sick enough to really need medication. Some issues do. At a party way back I met some girl who was legit hearing voices without pills.
But the typical redditor "so sad, feel so bad" assholes who refuse to do things like go on a walk and eat some proper food are just lazy. That also made them bitch, btw, people giving simple advice (go outside, cook a nice meal and eat it, do something creative, etc.). They are just too depressed to do it and it's harrrrrd, so they give up and do drugs.
I specifically told one guy that every habit is hard at first and how you just need to push through, like with everything. Are we all so sick because working out hurts like shit at the beginning? Or learning a new language makes you suffer of every sentence at first? Should we all just give up and never do anything?
People have somehow become allergic to simple solutions. They don't believe simple solutions work, or they believe humans are "beyond" that, smarter than that.
Vitamin D supplements, or daily sunshine, could've stopped the plandemic dead a year and a half ago.
They forget that we are animals. Worse still, they forget how short our life spans are. The "deathbed regret" from this generation is going to be eye-watering.
I expect we'll see suicides skyrocket as the 20 and 30 somethings become 50 and 60 something and so not even be around for the whole "deathbed regret" thing. Nihilism is a hell of a drug
We do have some kind of scepticism of simple things, don't we? A somewhat related concept, I remember once my dad was moving houses and he didn't want to drag some perfectly good furniture with him, so he posted it for free on craigslist. Nobody would take it. So he posted it for $10, and it sold in a day. They just assumed something free must automatically be bad.
I learned that trick from Persuasion by Robert Cialdini.
But the difference is, those kids get it done to them, which is a crime in itself.
While the adults demand it. They WANT to get drugs, they convince each other to want it. They celebrate and advertise it to each other.
Fake, and also gay.
You can't help someone that does not wish to be helped, once they are in that state of mind I believe they sort of need to crash without taking themselves out in order to "reset" their state and then can start working on improving or better them self cause once you are in the vortex you are quite blind.
Overthinking, over-analyzing, separates the body from the mind.
Only God and nutrition can help. Forgiveness is the best healer. I was there myself and had to learn this the hard way too.
I've always found antidepressants did jack shit for me. Occasional weed did a better job at balancing me out at my most anxious. All anti-depressants did for me was heighten both sensations...I was either hyper-enthused or manically-down. Depression is something I've wrestled with my whole adult life. Truth is I overthink too much and listen to that voice inside too much. At my worst, I believe that voice is telling me the truth...that I am nothing and I have nothing to offer.
Although lately I've been trying to change my lifestyle. I'm four months free of soft drink and have noticed some improvement both mentally and health-wise. I'm back to writing again. Back to not caring what that voice has to say as much. Cleansing myself of social media has also helped. I still have my FB and Insta but I refuse to look at them as much anymore. Why spend life comparing myself to other assholes showing off how great they have it?
