2020 Roundup - What was a key thing you learned this year, fellow Saidit users?

submitted by hfxB0oyA from (self.whatever)

I'll go first; I learned that just because someone has a Ph.D., you should not assume they are capable of coherent thought.

Certain factions can, and are poised to implement worldwide government a whole lot quicker than anyone suspected or was willing to believe.

I learned that shilling and trolling groups have become extremely organized and weaponized on the internet, and that information warfare is now constantly boiling just under the surface of every forum, and most people don't notice or believe it's happening yet because they personally don't say anything controversial enough to get censored.

Weaponized trolling? Pleeeeeese

This is a war for our minds. Obviously yours has not been fully liberated yet.

He should know. He has to deal with ALL of the SaidIt riffraff.

Obviously yours has not been fully liberated yet.

And Obviously you are have a God complex. My mind is fine Jason, I stopped watching TV at age 19, many decades ago, and TV is where most of the War you speak of is fought. But I refuse to be sidetracked by stuff that doesn't concern me, with need not to know details. Someone here derided me for overtly blocking a user, like I might miss some important information. Well there in fuck all important information left to know at this stage. Where we are today is no different in my mind to where the German people were in 1937, They were having their freedoms taken by a dictatorship and blissfully unaware that they were soon to be teleported out of one of the most developed nations on earth into a rubble pile. Or no different to the Mayans who started in small tribal groups and ended up in a state system run by murderous blood-thirsty dictators.

What is happening today has happened before and rather than sitting around harping on about jewish conspiracies and democrat takeovers, things we have absolutely NO control over, the members would be better served by getting the fuck out of the cities into remote mountain towns to weather the coming storm. Because at the end of the day that is their best bet in avoiding concentration camps, food rationing, and Gestapo like controls. I have researched this for decades now, how people have survived and flourished in nations under dictatorships and war, and a one world dictatorship will be no different. Even better in some respects because the central power will be so diffuse, so far away. Perhaps you should give some time in thought to your own personal preparations.

Are you setup to weather the storms we all know are coming? Out in the countryside they don't have facial recognition cameras, roadside cameras, and people keep their mouths shut to outsiders. Do you buy most of your important stuff for cash and leave a minimal digital footprint? Do you have cover stories in place for government departments, like a mental health issue tucked up your sleeve that you can drop on the table like a trump-card to avoid questions and ensure you get special treatment? The jews? fuck the jews and their plans, you can easily slip through any net if you plan for it. Do you know how my operating system is setup? It's burnt on a DVD, it runs exclusively in RAM. When this computer is powered down there is nothing left on it, zero tracks and my VPN takes care of the rest.

Look at your own habits and lifestyle Jason and ask yourself, "If they came to my door, what would they find" "If the power went out for a month, would it be anything more than an inconvenience to me" "If I lost all my income and emergency bank controls limited me to $30 a day, how long could I carry on as normal" These are the real questions you need to ask, not whether the joos have taken control of your local supermarket.

" And Obviously you are have a God complex. "

Explain like I'm 5 how it's obvious or even true.

Your knee-jerk over-reaction is natural when triggered about something you're defensive or ignorant about. The war for our minds is played out everywhere, including social media.

I was an art director on several movies at 21, without a TV, lived in NYC without a TV while animating on TV commercials, etc. I made it, understand it, respect it, hate it, and fight TV more than most. The medium is the message is the opiates of the masses.

There are a lot of parallels through history. The collapse of the USSR. Cambodia killed all their intellectuals, teachers, doctors, and scientists first. Chile, Argentina, Iran, Eastern Europe, or any other nation that had totalitarians suddenly rise to power (usually backed by the US/CIA).

You can drop the Jewish conspiracy theories to focus on the real and open Zionist conspiracy facts. Yes, both the Democrats and Republicans are divisive distractions and wings of the same war-hawk big-business party. A DIY off-grid life is ideal if you can do it - better with a strong aware community and networks. I'm preparing with what limited means I have. If I had more funding I'd be finished, but even just building an indoor basement year round garden, distillery, and out door garden-wagons is neither cheap nor instant. A minimal digital footprint is great, but we all can't be masters of everything. A thumbdrive would be smaller than a DVD and your VPN better be reliable. I put my name out there regardless as an example, courageous or foolish or both.

You're an interesting character. I hope you'll be around in a few months. Like last year, my New Years resolution was to work on my epic cautionary story. I was working on it until I got sidetracked with COVID shit in March. I'll soon resume and aim to be sharing a first draft on SaidIt by spring to ask for feedback, support, and to develop the next levels of that project. Some of those next levels are also about preparing, fall back plans, archiving, sharing, community, and thriving, come what may. To resist as long and as hard and as much as possible. I'm not invincible and don't fear death and have little to lose. I just don't want to suffer. I guess now they know that too.

If they came to my door they'd find everything I already do openly plus a bunch of pre-digital things of no great consequence. When the power goes out I'll be more concerned about all my older neighbours. I already live on much less than $30/day (plus rent). January will be already be a tough one. I was tight for years - before COVID.

I only wish success and awareness to normal Jewish citizens and local businesses. However, I do care about Zionists who pull all the strings, I care about exposing those strings, and I care about finding and sharing alternatives and solutions and ways to thrive, despite the ruling class, their minions, their influence, and their propaganda. If you looked at my posts, comments, and subs you'd see that.

It's true mate, I believe it because I've seen it dozens of times over. I used to think such notions were ridiculous too until I was the one in the hot seat

Well a weapon implies an attack so I guess your correct, it's just I have a knee-jerk reaction the term "weaponized". It's been so misused by the media and government, like their use of regime, to describe any government they want to see replaced.

Lookup the Stasi's psychological weapons program. They had patents in 1974 on ways to put voices in someone's head from a far off dtstance called 'voice-to-skull.' They also had a program called Zuetuaneg or something like that. They wouldn't kill their target they would decompose it slowly through discretisation, destroying self-confidence, gang-stalking, etc.

I think the good science is slowly catching up, but it is disturbing how bought-and-sold the whole enterprise has become.

SCIENTISM:

A blind faith dogma in the benevolence of corporations making obscene profits from their allegedly safe but very secret and privatized so-called "science".

Authentic science is a transparent discovery and open verification process (not settled) of elimination based on a hypothesis. Since many factors may corrupt this process it must be openly verifiable to eliminate junk science from legitimate results.

How truly gullible the average person is and how willing they are to bow down to a government edict and police themselves. Even the ones that claim to be free thinkers, in the face of the media barrage they did just like the rest and complied with all orders even though there were a hundred loopholes.

For years people have warned about the open plans of the ruling class. With more evidence than ever people continue to ignore the rising tyranny.

" In Greek mythology, Cassandra was one of the princesses of Troy, daughter of Priam and Hecuba. According to the Myth, Cassandra was astonishingly beautiful and blessed with the gift of foreseeing the future. Her curse was that no one believed her, a fact that weighed heavily on the destruction of Troy during the Trojan War. "

But only on places like this, that the average person never visits. And even if they do, a couple of hours in front of the TV erases any resolve they may have mustered. TV is like heroin, and like bashing your head against a wall, and like cutting your balls off. I could go on but you can see where I'm coming from.

I read this quote recently I found insightful: not everyone who agrees with you is a good person, and not everyone who disagrees with you is a bad person.

Seemed rather poignant for forumers.

It was in a book by MR Forbes. I don't know if he coined it or was just quoting someone else. It took a hot minute but I finally finished off that guy's entire catalog of work so far. Now I'm looking for new military scifi to read.

    "The Border Wall" is actually intended to keep Americans in

    The first step was restricting Americans from traveling the continent freely after 911. Most people I know don't have a passport. My mother in particular had to wait 6 months to get hers. Not everyone deals with that, but it's not always a quick process.

    " Nacirema ("American" spelled backwards) is a term used in anthropology and sociology in relation to aspects of the behavior and society of citizens of the United States of America... The paper describes the typical Western ideal for oral cleanliness, as well as providing an outside view on hospital care and on psychiatry. "

    If you work for Jews, and another Jew is in need of a job, guess what happens to you? It happened to me. I’ll never work for them again.

    [–][deleted] 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    I think every working person has experienced that, not Jews specifically but nepotism/tribalism/networking.

    In fact, I think every job I ever had was from knowing someone.

    My wife -- who is very skilled in her field -- went through this arduous interview process until at one point they said oh, you know X, why didn't you just say so. Boom, hired.

    Network. Network. Network. That is if you want a successful career. There are other paths in life too.

    Which isn't to say it's always worked in our favor. I had to deal with a former pimp as a boss at a major pharmacy. No experience whatsoever. That was galling. He had to have known some one.

    [–]JasonCarswellMental Orgy 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    I suspect it depends on the job. I got jobs via networking and I got jobs based on my talents. I knew no one in NYC yet was hired to animate there based on my demo reel. Same with other places.

    How freely and happily purveyors of disinformation dispense it. People always throw around the word “shill” as if there aren’t tons of people who attempt to disrupt spaces for discussion without compensation, whether through inserting unrelated, phony extremism or promoting “official” narratives as if they are misunderstood by critics.
