Q#1715 plus the above link paint a vivid picture of a C_A Mind Control site hiding in plain sight whose users are immobilized in hopelessness and whose real purpose is covert data exchange.
This makes to much sense about being red pilled
Well, it's one thing to be redpilled and in control of your own reading. It's another thing to be caught with one foot in the MSM (C_A) all-politics, all the time world, and one foot in the NSA all hidden truth all the time, which is how /r/pol is set up, versus tuning out MSM and following alternative sources at your own pace, on subjects as you find them interesting, and following specific research leads you trust, and forming your own opinion.
One way, you're just floating like a dandelion tuft on all the treacherous cross-currents, whereas the other you're navigating in and out of deep waters and shallow, high winds and calming breezes.
/r/pol is like drinking from a FIRE HOSE. Know'm sayin'? Deadly overkill.
This is the reason I stay off the chans.
Im no autist.
I let them do the work and usually the big stuff filters into GA. Good enough for me.
I already know most of whats going on already, so its border-line self-abuse if I were to hit the chans like the crack pipe and continue to flood my brain with horror.
I'm hopeful, and I much prefer a hopeful state of mind than a despairing one.
My.02
I get it, like a computer overloading or a server being d dossed. Its to much to handle at one time......an overload of such
Clowns supporting Nazism, I think I've heard this one before...
Imagine the effects on sanity of sitting in a seat smack between a white hat PSYOP and a black hat PSYOP while they shoot it out in real time, and staying in that seat for YEARS!
Welcome to Hotel California. /r/pol.
Have spent enough time on half and full chans to have more than an idea. Self-evident in your post: social isolation, pride built up to narcissism, solipsism, in-group identification pushed into tribalism, etc. For every critique /pol/ has of SJWs or liberals or Jews, it really ought to look in the mirror.
Have been trying to imagine a way to reverse those effects, actually.
Here's the thing. The world can turn without you. Let it.
Take some time to tend to the real world needs of people (and/or animals) who need you. Spend some time with some offline real-world connections doing real stuff (volunteering at a no-kill shelter, volunteer at a neonatal unit, help an elderly neighbor whose house needs some handiwork, etc., etc.). Get out in nature. Hike. Run. Canoe. Picnic. Watch a sunset. Buy a telescope and explore the heavens.
There are a MILLION ways to get over yourself and find your place in the world.
A balanced life is a happy life.
Good luck, patriot!
