IF you can be shamed into going a Russian church to be manly, you are headed in the opposite direction from the path to manliness - you become a pussy who can only follow.

A cashless society means your overlords will have COMPLETE control of your lives. Of course the oligarchs will have secret avenues of cash for themselves.

Seriously, if you are AWARE of propaganda, you are also aware that you have been influenced by it. Propaganda is pervasive in civilizations. It is simply manipulation. TV ads and guys trying to pick up chicks are everyday uses of propaganda.

I don’t miss the thousands of obnoxious, foul mouthed folks on FB that I routinely blocked. Haven’t experienced any of that on the fediverse yet.

“My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.” - Carl Schurz:

It’s our civic duty to make our country better.

Some people may need to move because because they aren’t safe here right now.

Some people need to be removed, one way or another.

Nearly $3 billion USD flowed through the TRUMP cryptocoin

But wait, there’s more. Us taxpayer money will now be used to “invest” in these crypto scams.

Exactly! All a person has to do is to look around - the right buys up all popular media platforms and converts them to propaganda outlets.

Probably the oligarchs. They have been trying to install fascist dictatorships for a very long time.

People will be in danger either way with the violence prone goons in power. If you are armed, there will be justification to shoot you. Protest at more public and friendly places. That way you will likely have allies nearby. Also, folks need to be situationally aware and plan an escape path if things turn too dangerous.

When Musk controls the western world, Putin will invite him to the 23 floor for a cup of tea.

learn the true thing

Don’t forget some people would rather teach the false thing.

All corporate news has been moved to the right, even NPR. For all practical purposes, local news has been eliminated. Local news formed the basis for trust and truth. Getting you news at a local ground level creates trust - you may know the reporter or you kids go to school with his kids. There is nothing wrong with news bias if you have sources that you can trust to report the truth and not omit critical information. That said, seek out and listen to people like Timothy Snyder, who have important messages. Here’s a clip of him talking about how the internet has changed and corrupted our news and views.
I like listening to Belle of the Ranch, because she succinctly explains important topics that the MSM does not - note she does present views from a more leftist angle.
Steve Shives is a Youtuber does not report the news but offers opinion that might inspire you to do further research. Finding good reliable news sources takes work, while junk news is cheap, readily available and detrimental to you.

Exactly. It really depends on the person though. Some people lack imagination and motivation while others keep exploring and opening new doors. Foraging, grafting and no plow, no till gardening are my latest interests.

Our catch-all drawer has screwdrivers, pliers and enough other tools to rebuild an engine, plus office supplies.

Love will conquer all the hatred

Not only that, but the hatred on the right will consume them. Sit back, lay low, don’t participate and let the fools burn themselves. Opposition will only give them targets to blame for their failures.

Instead Americans handed the country over to a felon, rapist, liar, infidel and pedophile.

Yo, you think Republicans aren’t listening and taking notes? In fact they WOULD encourage sexual assaults. at work and everywhere else - gotta produce babies. It’s how they roll.

Toxic black mold is a greenish-black gelatinous mold. It is not really black. Mold is not healthy and some people have severe negative reactions to regular black molds though.

Mastodon is also full of weird political shit.

You have been friending the wrong people.

And the chuds will eat it up.

Really feel sorry for the orange cult folks. They are incredibly ignorant and gullible to the point of being their own worst enemy. Demons will gather up their souls one day because nothing else tolerates such filth.
