You can't help being sucked in. I was. I couldn't help it. But you shouldn't be.
Don't listen to it. Just don't listen to it. Stop reading the news, watching the TV, stem the constant influx of data into your mind. It's only fucking you up.
It's all the propaganda, they're making us believe really strongly in things we will never do, but have to believe. For example, everyone thinks that it is important to have privacy with their data, but no one actually has privacy with their data. You don't see people abandoning social media bullshit and dropping off the grid and actually encrypting their damn messages, because it's easy to think about things, but it's hard to actually do them. The media is implanting the idea into our minds, overtly, that the nation is in a state of great crisis and things must be done to fix it, and covertly, that it is impossible to fix the great crisis that is the nation, and we should simply give up and embrace the fate. We can't be good citizens, so we must try harder to be good citizens, while burying the thought that we are not good citizens. This is the nature of the deception. The Emergency.

So, I guess, if you want to waste your time holding up other peoples dreams, you are more than welcome.
I say the only way is frugality.
Most people weight 300 lbs and counting.
Has anyone noticed how many millions of dollars of stuff is thrown in the trash all the time. All the food wasted. All the fake expiry dates on food. The list goes on and on.
It's as if nations mechanized for commercial luxury war at mid 19th century and nobody has second guessed it since.
How many tanks do we need on the street? How many 10 ton steel silent stealth radar bullet proof vehicles do we need?
I haven't seen the new mad max. I probably don't need to, as it's probably right outside.
Look at this era.
Do you think they had 8 bed room houses with 5 closets worth of clothes? Do you think they cared whether or not thier computer was the latest or greatest? Or do you think they cared whether their computer which is more complicated than a stealth bomber, could run a simple web page and not become outdated in a year.
Web pages are the same, yet the internet keeps getting slower.
