I really close to trying my best to leave MSM, social media and maybe even TD.
Is everything happening right now real? All the Biden stuff, the LBQXYZ stupid shite, queers fricking in DC government buildings. Stolen elections and the EV craze!

I'm from a rural area and it's still old fashioned.....for the most part. The things happening today are unreal and feels like it isn't even real. Although I know most of it is. Bad things are common place and good things are few, far and in between. I hope America and my kids make it through this dark time!

We are just in a cycle of civilization that countless other generations have been through before. Those after us will probably have it worse before it eventually gets better again

Of course it’s real and depravity is nothing new. We just have smartphones now and can spread information worldwide at the speed of light

Sort of.

Our collective culture (music, literature, tv/film) is certainly pushing hard to reflect progressive idealism in sexuality, secularity, and racial equity.

But the people actually representing those lifestyles (and the ideology) are no where near as many as you are led to believe. Most people are regular folk just getting by with their jobs, families, and interests.

Being in a rural area, you’re even further removed from it than anyone in an urban area. You could turn off the screens and probably have very little exposure to or influence from anything going on.

God said he would have to shorten the days or even his elect wouldn’t be able to tell truth from a lie.

Its a shallow and materialistic world. Its not mine.

Separate from the crowds, thats where the insanity is. Find a nice quiet place to settle down and live peacefully.

Not only is it real, but other than the amplifier that is the internet which broadcasts more of what you’d rather not know into your life, it’s been going for decades.

The only reason homosexuality is so dear to the Left is population reduction.

Everything the left does is geared toward reducing your quality of life and ending humanity. They are utopians, and the only acceptable result is death of individuality and humanity.

You may be correct. But things don't get better on their own. People have to make the changes

It's real enough and it'll get a lot worse before it gets better.

This. The Facebook permaban was the best thing for my sanity. And cutting off the MSM assault.
I still keep tabs on the world here and with podcasts, I see more than enough of the MSM from clips that podcasters make fun of.

I mentioned leaving social media. I only have TD. I have none of the mainstream social media. They are insufferable and main problem with the world.

It depends on how you've learned to process information - aka: Education. What you're seeing transpire is a stage play to sway uneducated, naive voters. As we've seen in countless other posts, it's all about power. The good news is that people who can properly parse data on a day-to-day basis see this "reality" for what it is - a distorted bullshite powerplay carefully curated to appeal to the reptilian brain in all of us. Sadly, too many don't realize that's happening.

From George Washington's Farewell Address (SEP1796)... [Cliffs Notes>> small people with big microphones]:

"All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations under whatever plausible character with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction; to give it an artificial [manufactured reality] and extraordinary force; to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modified by mutual interests. However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

This has been the best decision I’ve made. I still have a Facebook and instagram because the vast majority of my family lives out of state and it’s how I can keep up with old friends, but I check them maybe 3 times a month, and LinkedIn even less than that. I don’t do TikTok at all. I left TD for many years and come back sporadically but I don’t buy into any of the hysteria here.

Greed drives everything. Companies want your attention so they can sell ads. They will say and post whatever it takes to get your clicks.


I haven’t watched network news in decades.

I live in Atlanta and EVERYTHING you see on TV and on social media is fake.

I am out and about in Atlanta everyday and I do not see a single ounce of racism anywhere I go. I have never once felt unsafe because our city is “so dangerous with crime happening at every corner”

Everything you see in mainstream media, mainstream news websites and on social media is all fabricated and fake.

The media and social media are the main enemies.

I would suggest quitting everything except for TD because this website is the only site that I know of on the internet that has common sense.

Also, stay on Facebook but just weed out the the garbage. If I see anyone posting anything that seems fake, anything anti American, anything that is not within my beliefs, I block and de friend them no matter how long I have known the person posting the dumb shite. It has made my Facebook much better and enjoyable.

I love Facebook when it’s only people who I truly know and care about posting pics of their kids playing sports, graduations, proms, homecoming, Halloween costumes of their kids, etc. but when it was a bunch of people who I kind of know but just acquaintances posting dumb political shite, etc, I just deleted and blocked them

Good luck with your decision.
