Remember when you could escape?

We aren’t allowed to unplug or unwind anymore.

Everything has turned into a piece of partisan propaganda and divisive fuel. We have no communal escape anymore.
Where in 2020 do people of different backgrounds and ideas gather together to remember we have more in common than we think?
We desperately need to take a step back from the 24/7 propaganda being poured into us from every angle.
Division and anger only serves to strengthen the government.
We have replaced parenting and general outside exploration and maturity necessary to a well rounded youth and inserted fake digital media and fear mongering.
Something in our society is broken. And it starts at home. Parents are too selfish. It’s easy to watch TV and refuse to play with your kids outside and not pay attention to their schoolwork, etc. it’s especially easy in an age where we are so completely absorbed into technology we don’t even notice the world around us anymore.
Parents for the good of their kids need to severely limit screens and force an end to laziness. Yea, your kids will fight it and scream at you. It’s your job to raise them correctly not pacify them constantly in the easiest way possible.

I cancelled cable.
I fish more now.
I'm happier.

It really was ok to disagree, even vehemently about important issues, not that long ago.
We’re beyond that now, and for the life of me other than logistics I’m not sure what we’re waiting on to file for divorce. No one seems happy...

It’s just like black mirror episodes

If you just looked up from your phone and left the house it's pretty clear the chaos is all fabricated and not based on reality.

I’ve turned away from all of it. The wife still needs TV on, so we still have some connection to the beast unfortunately.

Hold onto your music and film hard copies if you have them. In the not too distant future music and film will only be accessible through a handful of monopolistic streaming services, all of which will be editing for content to fit political (read liberal) narratives. The Gone With the Wind controversy was just the start, now that Biden Harris are taking over.

Cancelled cable, watch/download selected shows/movies... watch old movies. Huge book collection.

I've started watching wrestling again.
Not as good as before.
But, still entertaining.
No politics.

This should be thread of the year. It is so true! I cannot remember the last time I rented a movie in PPV. The movies are all political themed or plain dumb. There is no more comedy. It is Trump bash.
I have ROKU/HULU and go to Pluto TV where you can watch Johnny Carson.
We are orphans. Other then Top Gun 2 I can't think of a movie I want to watch.
Top Gun2 should be released in PPV because I don't think I will ever go to a theater again.

still can.
I will never understand the obsession of people with the federal government. This goes for both sides. They obsess over the feds but ignore state government and local government. Its dumb.
But you can ignore it, get off social media and get of the PT board for sure.

Unwinding was just another example of white privilege.

I’ve never consider it, but the Soviet Union must have been like this. Everything was political. Movies, music, books. What you wore.
Was it that way in Nazi Germany?

Fishing, biking, hiking, backpacking...been doing more of it.

the mountains
although I followed Backpacker magazine on FB and they were always pushing the "we have to make backpacking more inclusive" narrative. I wasn't aware that the mountains discriminated against anyone

Video Games. No one cares about you political affiliation when you're in the gulag.

Everything remotely entertaining stripped from decent people. But guess what, we will still be happier than these liberal fascists because they hate themselves.
This is a real turning point in our country. Regardless of the ultimate outcome more and mire people will turn to Christ.

Corona in the spring causing the cancelling of March Madness and college baseball showed me how little I missed sports. As others have said, I've spent a lot more time outside hunting, fishing, or just playing with my little boys. That's about the only way to avoid all of the bullshite, but even then you will hear something political on the radio driving to hunt

I'm glad to be done with all of this. It was rotting my soul, anyways.
