I’m neither on the political left or the political right. I don’t participate in the charade. I react the same to what both sides try to use to manipulate me: indifference. I want to be left alone and not forced to choose a side in a game i will never win. The only people who win are the puppets put on public display (politicians and pundits) and the puppet masters controlling the strings to their marionettes. Yes, Trump is controlled, just as Biden and Obama were.

Remove “Charlie Kirk assassination” from the political right’s rhetoric and replace it with “unvaccinated” from 2021 and you have the same message.

I dont want to be under surveillance 24/7/365. AI data collection centers are being built all over the country, probably globally. These centers are meant to collect all of our interactions everywhere everyday. We are paying for it with our taxes. We are financing our own surveillance.

I don’t want my money spending habits to be tracked. Fiat currency, as bad as it is, is much better than a digital currency . During the Epstein files democrat hoax distraction, Trump signed three digital currency acts, essentially giving the green light to a stablecoin to replace the dollar. It’s called the Genius Act. Its some typical government acronym that restricts our freedom. The elite class wants a digital currency so they can control us, and have the ability to cut us off if we step out of line.

I want to get rid of all of my electronics connected to the world. It tracks everything and it’s too late to use ad blockers or VPNs (which are also making data logs) because they already have my information, which they got years ago. The problem is, like everyone else, i have become dependent on it for almost everything i do except drive and talk and think.

I’m tired of the government manipulating me, forcing me to emotionally react to something that is fictional so i don’t use my ability to think critically. MAGA is now whipped up in a frenzy and what is forgotten is the “democrat hoax” called the Epstein Files. I don’t care about any of it because they, i mean those of the elite class, are all criminals, stealing from us.

The credit score nonsense is a scam. In order to get a better score to go into greater debt I have to get more debt instruments likee credit cards with ridiculous interest rates, and increase the potential to over extend ourselves.

On the same scales, all insurance is a scam. This year, i will have paid $12,000 for my health insurance through my employer, with my employer probably paying about $20,000 to $24,000 on my behalf. I’m sure i won’t use $12,000 of coverage. And that’s with a high deductible. Car insurance is worse. Liberty Mutual once raised my insurance from $230 to $420. No accidents or tickets. The reason? I was paying for other insured’s accidents and tickets. And house insurance can be arbitrarily cancelled at any time, especially since they use drones to check on your property.

I’m tired of being a sucker for convenience and the latest bells ans whistles. The latest model cars are garbage on wheels. But we buy them because of the super duper fancy electronics. We complain about the cost of the constant repairs for vehicles that built to fall apart but we keep doing it because we love the flashy stuff inside.

The relentless barrage of sports gambling ads. I don’t believe these gambling sites care if i have an addiction. In fact, they hope i do develop one. Their purpose is the same as pornography, to lure us into a pit with no care to let us escape.

Do i have an answer? It’s simple, stop participating in their rigged game and live our lives. If no one voted, who would occupy political offices? But it isnt easy because we are conditioned to love convenience and be manipulated into voting for someone who tickles our ears just the right way. And we move on, manipulated by the fictional news spewed out on our devices to get unreasonably angry with those on the other side. News that is meant to divide, not inform.

I now embark on mission of sorts, to work at my job until i can afford to voluntarily unplug from everything, and voluntarily plug in when necessary at my choosing.

Before all this technology, most families didn’t move very far from each other. When i was in Maine for vacation, i went to a museum about the local potato farming industry. One thing that i remember is about families back then. When family visited, it wasn’t a visit for a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday. It was a visit that extended for a month or two. I couldn’t but think: what happened to us that we love mesmerizing screens more than we love friends and family? Typical employment only allows for two weeks at the longest at one time.

We are not free, not totally.

A long read but it is what it is.
