The UK is releasing a phone app that will go off whenever there is a "danger" to the public. They can set that off whenever they want, and it will drive large sections of the population into hysterical madness.

It's scary when family or friends start believing in this nonsense. I think that was the main problem for me in 2020. It's a very lonely place when you're the only one seeing through the constant BS.

I think that a lot of people knew that something was very wrong after the first few weeks. However, if one is willing to sacrifice liberty for the sake of "safety" then they will lose both and deserve neither.

Indeed, then the cognitive dissonance kicked in quicker than a Pfizer booster. "The governments of the world would never get away with lying like that to their people..."

I'm 58 and probably in better shape than I should be for my age considering my habits. I"ve just never felt like I belonged here. My mother said I was born looking sad, which is pretty pathetic really . I know that I should have accomplished much more and every now and then I'm reminded of this in my profession. The last 3 years have really served as a reminder that I'm late for the door - my final exit - but I can't seem to finalize certain things. I'm planning on this changing by the end of this year at the lates . These covid years have shown in a big way just how really useless the human race probably is . We've seen the absolute worst come out in people. Hell, it's still happening. My gf and future partner in CTB looks at twitter . I didn't think anyone could have conceived something that is actually worse than twitter but it was - tiktok. Anyway , she was showing me a video of a governor of some state saying he wants to have anyone unvaxxed arrested because he 's sick of us clogging up the hospitals! I'm unvaxxed and one thing I notice is that we don't just drop dead of strokes and heart attacks. Yes , google definitely filters results when looking up deaths relative to covid "vaccines" but they can't seem to stop the search for "died suddenly". We're burying my girlfriends' mom this weekend and we're convinced that shot is what killed her. She'd never had a stroke or covid and then she got the shot . She immediately got covid and then started having multiple strokes. I can tell you I had covid once and never had to go to a hospital so it's a myth and a flat out lie that the unvaxxed are the ones in the hospitals but this is our media now and unfortunately many believe the news tells them the truth. Operation mockingbird never stopped regardless of what they told us at the hearing . Nor did cointelpro either . But when the truth comes out they ( some federal employee) try to be the first to tell you and in doing so make it seem as if they stopped what they have been doing . Any project or research that is begun is never stopped and is ultimately brought in to use on the masses who pay their salaries and for the research as well . There's a lot more to this story of course but I'll stop it there. Another thing, the version of tiktok used in china is not the same as the one they let us use. First , there is none of the insane and nutty garbage that we see here 24/7 . They allow it to be used for educational and cultural purposes only in china. It is only used to support and promote chinese history, culture and of course the government. It is also not available 24 hours a day. Here it is literally being used to dumb people down with this nonstop garbage . It literally does turn your brain to mush as stated above. I definitely miss the 70's and 80's as does my gf. If I could go back in time I'd go back to 1970 at the age I am now and finish out what time I have. Anyway, this is a great thread. I send out positive vibes and well wishes for all of you here on SS. I hope at least you're having a good day right at this moment.

I'm not American but I think they have the best quote ever regarding freedom from authoritarian governments, "Give me liberty, or give me death!"

Unfortunately , our govt here no longer espouses this statement. They created the term conspiracy theorist and apply it liberally to anyone who doesn't approve of their actions. But you're correct , it's still true and as stated above many will sacrifice their freedom for their comfort as we saw during the "pandemic"

Tiktok is an insidious application that turns the mind to mush, but that's seemingly what they all do.

Simply put, technology took a wrong turn somewhere along the line. We're not meant to have 24 hour access to all the horrors of the world. When I was a child, the news was on TV at 6pm and again at 9pm, and that was it. Today, people have been driven mad by things that are none of their concern.

The Star Trek idea of the future was wrong. Warhammer 40k seems more realistic.

Because those who have a voice have the power. Technology is giving them the voice.
Modelling difficult physics problems is hard and gives little to no voice/power to those who do it.
Making another facebook/twitter/ticktok/mastadon gives voice and power over those who are listening. "Moderate" shit out of it and you've enforced your man-made rules.
Make people dumb and show them pretty faces and costumes who kill each other on the screen, and they stop thinking, but just reacting to the moving pictures.
It might be strange but just a handfull of ruling families in the US control all of that circus and polluting minds around the world.

43 and I just don't want to keep trying basically. My life just feels like too much effort for what it is. I expect I could make it better but I can't be bothered to do that either. I just want to not be.

43. Depression and other mental health issues. Been starring out of the window for more than a decade. On top of that, the coming climate disaster is about to hit us in the relative near future. Better to leave peacefully on my own terms and with dignity.

Very true. I'm sure all phone apps are just as bad. Western governments love pointing out how bad China is but they are all excited about introducing the same technologies to enslave their own populations.

You make a very valid point about the constant 24 hour news cycle. It's scary that people believe the fictional stories presented there, but a fearful population is easier to control. If the media hadn't pushed the whole corona plandemic non-stop then nobody would have noticed anything different and life would have carried on as normal.

Pardon me, but

THE US CORPORATIONS' PROXIES love pointing out how bad China is but they are all excited about introducing the same technologies to enslave THE WHOLE WORLD.

because the US is ruled by proxies elected to represent a handful of families who control the major US corporations.
Now I guess the UK prime minister is also their proxy.
At the same time, they make it look in the media as if they are nice people who allow free choices.

Unfortunately , our govt here no longer espouses this statement. They created the term conspiracy theorist and apply it liberally to anyone who doesn't approve of their actions. But you're correct , it's still true and as stated above many will sacrifice their freedom for their comfort as we saw during the "pandemic"

conspiracy theorist

— they could have invented a new type of mental illness for that — 'theo-conspira-nia' — with their psychiatrists deciding which behaviour is profitable for them and which is not.
But It already happened before, people who did not believe in the flat Earth were called witches in the Middle ages.

I'm reminded of a joke by Louis CK where he remarks on the futility joining a gym in his late 30s. He's balding and overweight, so he's hardly going to be ripped by the time he's in his 40s. Thus, the gym serves merely to maintain his woeful state of existence as it is.

At 36, I'm cheating by replying here, but I've reached a point similar to that of the above. Things are not getting better from here on out, so it's maintain life as it is or watch it get worse.

Just wanted to inject that Louis was doing a bit, it doesn't necessarily reflect reality.

The coming climate disaster. When is that supposed to happen exactly? Al gore said Miami would be underwater by 2014. Back in the early 70's they said the earth would freeze again. My friendly advice is turn off the news. All they ever talk about is this and that supposed crisis while our leaders keep printing money. That's the coming crisis caused by corruption and malfeasance but they're not taking about it on the "news" networks

Climate scientists are pissing their pants. This has nothing to do with Al Gore. Climate change isn't a political issue.

Well if there's nothing anyone can do about it then why worry about it? Most of these nut jobs in DC and other governments are the ones keeping you scared. And if you're going to CTB why worry about it? Climate scientists have been proven wrong over and over for most of the last half century with their hyperbolic predictions. Go listen to some George Carlin talk about this garbage and lighten up. Or don't if you're addicted to fear porn

Worrying about it is a normal reaction. And this has nothing to do with "nut jobs in DC" or other governments. It's not a conspiracy. And it's not like I'm sitting around being terrified, I did my grieving years ago. But what's coming towards us is just a part of the pile on that makes living pointless. We're going to witness the greatest show on earth. In a way, we're lucky.
