Anyone in the know feels like you do. Most of us here do. Just think of all the retarded brain dead dumbfucks going through life right now thinking everything is ok, good or normal. Just be glad you aren’t one of them.

One of the silver linings if their is one is that I am not alone.

Would this be of help?

the only thing that’s really helped me is my sense of humor, which has become increasingly dark.

I am told by some people in my life that one solution is to just live my own life and not care what other people think. But what if I don't want to just be alone and want company? And what if that company is crap or all sheep? What is the answer to this paradox?

You could commit suicide you could jump into the Grand canyon

You should take your own advice.

What is the answer to this paradox?

Answer: A shared greater vision & mission

Racism is yesterday's news I grew up in the '70s when we had rotary telephones and we didn't even have answering machines much less voicemail or Internet we didn't even have computers when I was a kid it was a lot nicer when you wanted to talk to someone you picked up a phone you spun the dial and if they answered you talk to them there was no messages there was no voicemail there was no email there was no direct messaging do you know what all these technologies did they divided us they turned us into human toasters human video games human pinball machines we don't have human relationships anymore people don't know how to talk to each other anymore

I don't have a good answer to that. It's not looking great out there.

I've been coping by building up my real world relationships and connections, putting a lot of energy into prepping (I might not survive an atomic bomb but at least I can stay home with all my food and ammo when the rampaging hordes of unprepared are tearing up the supermarkets), and honestly, it may seem trite, but turning to religion. It doesn't matter what religion, really - except for Scientology, probably don't do that - but religion brings hope and community, a common cause.

Also I've been trying not to stop enjoying my life when I can. Sometimes I do feel like all I want to do is crawl into a black hole but there is still good in the world. I take the beauty where I can - getting up early to see the sunrise, playing with my dog, enjoying a nice dinner with friends, doing useless hobbies just for fun.

There's no normal to go back to, I don't think, but I have to make of it what I can, while I can.

I have thoughts about wanting to find like-minded family and people so we can find our own physical community together, and figure out how to create parallel institutions to the ones already in society but have been ruined or weakened. Yes, people will try to destroy and attack us, so we have to account for that too. Still, I think it might be the only way conservatives and associated ilk can ever achieve a feeling of victory in the modern world.
