People who actively use their minds (and there's not very many left) tend to not fall victim to these things.
how do you not feel alone as a thinking man in this society?

What do you expect? The entire society is now based off of money, attention and sex.

I was talking with a buddy about this and it's pretty shocking tbh. Here's a few points we came up with.
-All of media is about horror and terror or pushing fear
-All social media is about sex, money and all things pushing those two things. Think influencers pushing gambling and OF, etc.
-All sports pushing degeneracy, sports betting, sex and race/political issues
-All movies, tv shows and most mainstream media pushing diversity, gay agenda, sex and lewd content
-Economic reality is completely removed from media and stock market used as buffering tools
-All politics and monetary policies directly go against the majority of the population, it's all done in the open right in front of you, and there is nothing you can do about it.
-Drugs are all pushed, promoted and allowed to everyone.

Most of the population has been eating chit food destroying their health and leaving them in a haze, whacking off to porn daily leaving them without any vitality, consuming the most ridiculous and dumbed down music and television you can imagine, doing tons of drugs and drinking alcohol to escape the corporate demoralization and economic realities of life, wasting energy on politics that LARPs as a two party system but is just one singular system meant to destroy the fabric of our nation in a power grab, kids innocence being destroyed by educational system corruption and agendas along with drugs catered directly to them as they watch influencers gambling/doing drugs/being with OF girls, and the overall destruction of the cultural values/morals/principles it was built on. Crime goes unpunished and law abiding citizens are left vulnerable.

The poor and minorities are gifted money and shelter and the middle classes are bled dry of their money via taxes and inflation with zero help. The rich are extracting all of the wealth via tax evasion strategies, asset strategies and incentives. The churches have been corrupted and pacify the population as they follow suit socially with the government via 501c3 tax status. Parents need dual incomes and can't raise their children which are sent to propagandized via schooling and social media. Inflation and government spending bleeding the dollar dry while corporations don't match inflation tax with their salaries. Debt has consumed the entire world and left most people a slave to their debt starting from college and it's used as leverage against them to work jobs they hate for lower salaries than they want or need, and to feel crippled from having any real freedom. Everyone is on benzos, prescription @ddy, anti-depressants, and are out of shape with little to no physical activity after their brains are fried staring at a screen for 8 hours doing mundane tasks and then mostly forced to commute 40-60 min to and from work in traffic.

BOY OH BOY LIFE IS GOOD FOR THE WESTERN WORLD!!!

Don't know. Only people I talk to is family and a select few friends.

Rarely do I meet someone who sees beyond what is truly happening in the world. Maybe one or two in the span of 6 months.

Hyper inflation destroying 90% of people's finances.

Open borders.

**** economy.

Brain dead president and gov subservient to Israel.

Billions upon billions of tax payer dollars to fund wars while Americans can't get healthcare or roads that don't look 3rd world.

Starter homes that are 800K.

Economy cars starting at 45K.

Realizing you will NEVER be able to retire.

It's all by design. We've been marching steadily towards this ever since the good guys lost in WW2.

It's funny, I'm most lucid than I've been in years. But I do notice other people going in the complete opposite direction.

It's because of money, politics, etc. This is the first real adversity that many people have felt in their entire lives.

this.

today two ANG F-16s were doing a flyover of my town and i chit you not, as soon as they got within 4-5 seconds away right before they were over us, my fukking camera gave me some comm error with the lens and nothing i could try would fix it. mind you i have an R w/BG-22 grip and had my 60-600mm, IE, huge fukkin set up. got this error one time like 2yrs ago. but after i have time i figure it out and everything is good.

well anyways, i saw some other dude w/a camera out there (you could tell it was a beginner set up) and i was like hey man you get any pics? mine spazzed out and i got nothing. dude just slowly shows me what he got. im enthusiastic about it and i meant it, etc and hes like some fukkin zombie standing there with next to no social skills.

something happened to people and i think the plandemic fukked people up big time.

People here have been saying this for a couple years now and i honestly dont see it. Ive lived in two different states since then and people in public and at school are pretty much normal and social. If anything im the one that doesnt feel like being social because i dont even know wtf people are so happy about when everything is only going to get worse. Im actually looking forward to the misery hitting the public because they mostly deserve it. A bunch of emotional morons selling out their 1st world livelihood because their feelings are being manipulated.

Yeah. Notice it all the time. Everytime I go to the hospital, while I'm in the waiting area, I always notice like 99% to 100% of the people sitting down with the heads down looking at their phone. I always try to be different and stare at the wall instead of my phone or look at phat bum nurses walking by.
