Ah, looks like we're realizing a) we're in an intentionally created (and therefore false) economic pressure cooker and b) we have the power to create a different future than the globalists intend for us. I think this means we've pretty much won this war.

Maybe they should stop buying Lattes at Starbucks and ordering their prepped meals on line. I get sick of hearing about how hard life is. My wife and I raised 4 kids on way less than $100 K. We skimped, and volunteered our time including helping at food pantries. Go eat some beans and rice. I took my son on a habitat build in El Salvador they were living on $4 a day. We build 3 room cinder block homes with no running water.

I am something of a dinosaur when it comes to technology and when I first heard the term "Side Hustle" and it was prominently used by women I immediately thought of something immoral but I later learned that it was just a term for things that people, men and women, have to do in order to make ends meet. That is when it registered for me that as a farmer in the 80's every farmer I knew had a "side hustle" so he or she could stay afloat. If you farm 100 or 1,000's of acres farming wasn't enough so you and/or your spouse had to work another job just to make ends meet. I had payroll savings bonds from that era that earned 13.5%.

We had an acronym in the military for things like this, "B.O.H.I.C.A." which stands for Bend Over Here It Comes Again!!! Take it from there.

Shalom,

I do our grocery shopping and it's very apparent that grocery prices are significantly up. So are restaurant prices. My old Mark 1 eyeball works fine, thanks. They can spin and cover up inflation all they want to, but I lived through the 70s. I know what inflation is and have felt its sting.

I think we're going to see more censoring on Substack then we already do. I've been wondering if there's an alternative platform, but I can't think of any. 🤔

We have been wondering the same about having a Substack alternative. We have even considered a typewritten, snail mail samizdat.

Yet another salient article. In our divided world, I remain very concerned that truth has been skewered. We need to refine our message, redefine our goals and present strong positions and leaders on platforms that can reach a more varied audience.

Wow…….your post has a certain synchronicity with Neil Oliver’s latest video.

“……we will only be allowed to see what escapes the digital censor….”

(About ½ into the video)

I enjoyed your post, very relevant and well written. I'm not on facebook, reddit or other social media, just substack, so I wouldn't know much of what goes on there.

But I know these platforms allow misinformation, deception, censorship and surveillance. They can be used to manipulate in a subtle way. I don't think many people realize how dangerous that is, as it allows the indoctrination and deception on a massive scale without accountability.

This one was so blatant too - just openly deleting the original post and most but not all of the comments! It was quite a sight to see. I have to admit Reddit is among the worst of these platforms, and that’s saying a lot!

It isn't a coordinated plot by the sites. It is mostly a grassroots thought police.

We have had a couple generations now of people who are playing "Choose your own reality." They live in information silos that are tailor made to suit their beliefs.

They have gone through a school system that has given them a sanitized version of history. It is totally devoid of dissent from the narrative. It has had all nuance scrubbed. It has had educators given free reign to instill their own personal beliefs, no matter how niche. There has been a concerted effort to reshape society in the image of their private fantasy.

Fast forward past 12 years of public schools and four plus years of college giving them a skewed version of history, economics, and social indoctrination, and they have not heard any dissenting viewpoints. Their reality has been formed by a fantasy universe of patriarchy, rampant racism, sexism, and climate change hysteria. It is fueled by utopian pipe dreams of Karl Marx, Aldous Huxley, comic books, and movie screens.

Then they get to social media where they can find a collective hive mind that caters to whatever viewpoint that they identify with, again, no matter how niche. Microscopically fringe ideas are portrayed as normal. Suddenly, they have the power to shape reality by clicking on the delete button to ideas that they find even moderately discomforting. They are empowered by HR departments that will allow them to wield power over their fellow employees. You have it infiltrating some government bodies where they can report people who dare to challenge their pet beliefs. They are socially rewarded for taking these actions to protect "The Narrative."

I might be far more afraid of the grassroots thought police than I am of the censorious platforms!

They are much more dangerous. There is no safety valve. A business will have to limit the losses if they are driving them from the platform. They need users to sell to advertisers. The crazies can just move to a different platform. Look at the exodus that left Twitter to BlueSky when they no longer were able to keep control. Well, actually, they moved from Facebook to Twitter and then to BlueSky.

Twitter only survived (ostensibly) because Musk came along and bought it and drove them out by taking their power away.

Mostly, the platforms are agnostic. They just want money and don't care how they get it. If they think that pandering will gain them marketshare, they will willingly comply. When profit margins drop, they will play hot potato and shuffle management to the next platform with a golden parachute strapped to them.

Incredible , we are not “allowed “ to talk about inflation ! Do they think we are not feeling the huge increase in the price of living ?
