re: Do you ever have moments where you wished you would have not taken the "Red Pill"?

Hopefully not applicable;

took the red pill over 30 years ago and apparently it’s effectiveness is 100 times better than the experimental COVID shot. I’m thankful because I’d hate to be on my deathbed and realize I’d been a moron my whole life

Been 32 years for me…..never looked back and haven’t voted for Dim candidate in 32 years.

Lately I've had some recollections of times before I started paying close attention to the corruption and shite show that is our federal government/DC Elites. I imagine not knowing how fricked up our DOJ/FBI is, how utterly corrupt +80% of the politicians and entrenched bureaucrats are in the DC Brothel. What would my relationships be like with some of my old Dim friends and younger relatives if I hadn't taken that damn "Fully Awake" red pill?

I will add, there ARE days when I wake up and think to myself, "Am I right?"

I never used to ask this. Not that I was never self reflective of my own points of view, but that normal run of the mill disagreeing never caused me to sit down and wonder if I was wrong about EVERYTHING.

I'm 100% sane. I haven't been radicalized. I'm not foaming out the mouth about "conspiracy theories." In fact, most of my positions have not changed all that much for probably 30 years or so. It's just that suddenly a huge portion (or at least what appears to be a huge portion) of America has shifted wildly to the left, and I barely recognize the place I grew up.

The answer is, "Yeah...I'm definitely right." But being exactly the way I have been for nearly forever feels so out of step that it does cause me to question it occasionally. It also makes me understand why your basic normie who doesn't follow politics or social issues at all will generally go along with whatever, because to do otherwise takes a whole lot of effort in the face of a ton of people telling you you're not just wrong, but you're bad.

I can relate but they do not get the nuance that you might get out of life.

You wanna get pissed? Go watch, Waco: Rules Of Engagement…..that’ll piss you off. Was Koresh a cult leader? Probably, but what Janet Reno, the ATF and other federal agencies did to the Branch Davidians was straight up mass Murder.

The ore I learn about that & Ruby Ridge, the more disgusted I get with them.

No. You should never wish for ignorance. Knowledge is a burden that strong people are forced to shoulder. It’s a penance I happily choose to endure.

Yes. That’s why some people living simple lives away from most modern conveniences are often very happy.

Nod to your post Revelator. The wife and myself are heading to Jamesport MO this morning. Jamesport is in the Amish area of North Central MO. There’s horse drawn wagons, buggies, shops with handmade furniture, country stores……I may hire a local Amish guide for a grand tour and ask him what the requirements are to become part of the community ….lol! I’m kinda serious.
