I love this channel and I think it explores spirituality from a feminine perspective in pretty amazing ways. Her videos improved my life a lot.

They're dying from a variety of causes, gunshots in the head for 6-10 people at once for back talking a guard or fighting too long , malnutrition, other diseases. Not as systematically insane or as industrial as the holocaust , but still very bad and "getting to that level" territory. That's my guess, I've not been there though.

Trump probably has 85-95 iq points, if we're to use that scale. He's not as stupid as some people make him out to be, but he's also hardly of average intelligence.

Based comment

It's somewhere in between this, and his brain being kind of just mush.

Nah he's frankly too fat and eats too badly to live to 100 I think. I could see him living for another 4+ years though.

Jim Acosta resigned fairly recently because he was standing up too much to Trump on CNN. And there are other instances. So I would not praise legacy media too much. Lots of people there are afraid of getting arrested. You can tell it because every news anchor looks a little more nervous than usual. Or maybe I"m just projecting. I'm joining a protest on Thursday so that should get me off the internet.

I think there is a vanishingly small percentage chance that Congress, even Republicans, will turn on Trump, if he does too much damage. I'm definitely not counting on it though.

The world is bigger than what you read about transgender people on the internet or even what you see of them in real life. It's true of everything.

Yeah you're right. I haven't been to any truly poor countries, but I went to Costa Rica and that was kind of enough for me to deduce that trans rights are just sort of a luxury.

Well the executive order says it takes "a minimum of 12 months" to recover from medical transition surgery and that you need to use heavy narcotics for months to recover. For me I went back to the gym after like 6 or 7 weeks after my SRS, so it's just a blatant lie at least for some people. Yeah some people might take longer to recover physically but I'd say the norm to go back into combat roles would be probably 4-8 months, not 12 months. There are also less physically intensive jobs that you could do in the military that you could probably do sooner than even that. I also stopped taking oxycodone for the pain like two weeks after my procedure so I wasn't really taking heavy-narcotics for 12 months or even one month. So the main part that I don't like is all the blatant lying. Truth doesn't matter at all to them. Also... before they'd mention transgenderism like in one of four statements, but now it feels like it's coming out in every 1 out of 2 statements they make. But I'm working on my mental resilience for this retarded administration.

Day 8...

My property is in Tucson and I don't think this is the best city in which to have property nowadays.

Drinking tea, meditating, and reading is enough for me. I tried to persuade myself that it was safe to take psychedelics, but half of my family has schizophrenia and I'm not taking any risks with that crap. Sometimes I want to meditate for longer and longer stretches of time but sometimes that also feels pointless.

Lavrov is Putin's lapdog, trained to bark where Putin wants him to bark. He is false.

Well she is a teenager .

This section of Actualized really needs more mods. So many stupid takes.

Every day has a night

I guess he means it's yellow because the guy suggests laughing/humor as a response to MAGA instead of hair pulling and screeching into the void. Not sure if i agree it's precisely yellow, but humor could seem like a better response than hair pulling and screeching. Could be high green, low yellow stuff.

Just accept that massive change is coming and live your life, everything has a swing and a counterswing.

Well I can recognize Trump's support in the broader populace and why it exists, but to be in a consciousness/actualization forum and see sympathetic posts to Trump is just honestly baffling. It feels hard to find community and alot of the posts feel alienating Also my reptile brain makes me think I'ma be in a concentration camp in 10 years. That said, I can agree to look inward and find some satisfactory path out of this.

Yeah he is and it's a good idea to organize politically now if you're in a minority group, like me.

Get involved in local politics, move to the Northeast or the west coast and pay attention to what happens in January because you can't really do much until then. Leave a red state if you live in one. Then coordinate with like-minded people in real life to communicate on some sort of encrypted platform as the need arises.

If this post is any indication at all it will only get worse for them, the societal changes will be interesting to experience. Even more polarization in American life. https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/1gli4en/anyone_else_joining_the_4b_movement/

I am sort of the same way, I grew up in a Republican family in a rural area in Colorado. A lot of these rural people care about values like the cohesion of the family, independence from the government, self-reliance. They go to church and pay taxes and of course at first didn't seem nefarious or dangerous or whatever. A lot of people parrot political points but this is no different than in any other field. People parrot things in every field or area of life to form some sort of mental glue that helps people's minds get organized around all the chaos of life (not just political chaos, but actual chaos). It grants a sense of stability in a volatile and uncertain world Some of the differences are just largely genetic, like if you watch Elon's reaction to Trump's assassination -- someone higher on the neuroticism scale on the Big 5 personality traits might perceive Elon's reaction of subtle or masked joy that violence took place (and that Trump survived). Others will see it only as Elon being happy that Trump lived of Elon and not find anything weird about his reaction. Not sure if that's the best example. I think a big indicator of a person is to look at their personal detail THOROUGHLY. Too many people only get brief glimpses and vote based that. No, that doesn't make sense, you need to evaluate the whole person and look very carefuly. If a person has a trail of lawsuits, complaints, legal actions against him dating to the 1970's, even before he was in the political scene, a person, based partially on genetics can reasonably conclude that something is "wrong" with this person. That's the case of Trump, and it's only a short of bread crumb trails that most people in his orbit share similar values as him since that's true of most professional relationships, you might not be best friends with your coworkers but you both operate under the same assumptions of how to act when you're in your job. Similar to Trump being examined, if we go to Elon Musk, he bought twitter and allowed it to be a nest for far right people and changed the algorithm to promote his own tweets, I just can't see that as being wise..The left has mostly...journalists. Journalists look like they're spinning things to you for a variety of reasons, they may be covering things in a way that supports their own mental health; they may be paid to say such things ( I think that mainstream media is pretty flawed in this country), they may simply be trying to comprehensive to not bore listeners with the same topics over and over, it could be anything because *journalists are people too*. Too many people see journalists as like ...data bytes or machines sent out by the evil corporate machines of news anchors. No, they're just doing their job, the job they went to school for several years for... I don't really know what the MSM or Democrats are censoring other than the amount of people we helped kill in Israel. I don't know what you're referring to there.
