And that’s not even the half of it.
I checked out of mainstream society years ago. I found a sparsely populated corner of the Earth where people are still normal.
#7 has been going on for many decades already though. I went down that rabbit hole in 2005-2013, then quit to focus on my own problems. Then somebody allows Oct 7th to happen, and all of a sudden people think some war just started there. Meanwhile, activists and people like me had been sounding alarms of the atrocities and constant war crimes being done there and getting scoffed at and shut down, because literally all countries were just letting Israel do whatever the hell they wanted with impunity, and nobody but nobody was telling the other side of the story. Imagine my shock when all of a sudden, after Oct 7, the truth was actually being told about what Israel was doing down there in the mainstream media. Why now, I wondered.
Enough of that. I don’t know how people who immerse themselves in the insanity can function. And maybe the reason there is that insanity is precisely because they can’t function in it. I was never close to the family, but now I’m more estranged from them than ever. People I used to be closer to have lost their minds and literally want to kill politicians (guess which one).
Seriously, the best advice there is, is to withdraw from the insanity and begin a practice where you cultivate your own inner peace. It has been working for me since before 2020. But rest assured, the more hysterical people out there in the world became, the more I withdrew. And, thank goodness, the people around me are relatively sane and normal still.
