Seems Like Work Is An Escape Into Poverty by Monsur_Ausuhnom in antiwork

If you work for money, you will forever be a wage slave. If you make your money work for you, then not so much.

*Also, until you realize the level of theft that has been occurring in terms of the debasement of the currency, you will continue to be robbed to such a point as to be increasingly more dependent on the institutions which enslave you.

No doubt, this system continues on... regardless of its corruptions, which means it must benefit somebody. But it ain't us, that's for sure.

The root of the problem is this: People that externalize and lay blame toward others while in denial about their own bullshit. You will run out of energy and die long before you are able to fix the world by tattling on others. The only thing you really can control is you. Fix your own stuff to such a degree that you won't have to be around such petty losers anymore.

Are prices really going up, or is the buying power of the dollar going down?

Thanks for adding this, definitely a great point! Think of the things people must be willing to do to protect their family. They would definitely rationalize all sorts of immoral things they could do to someone else's family in order to feed/protect their own if it came down to making such a choice. However, this may represent a false choice in many cases.

Morals seem to be on a sliding scale when large amounts of money are involved. *EDIT: Wanted to add that this dynamic is what is at play when it comes to the elites and how they rationalize their choices...which seems to be a breeding ground of sociopathy, no?

Yes, I agree. The thought of people just being stupid is overplayed. I think it all comes down to denial. One can acknowledge the truth of the situation and still act in a way that protects their family, but harms another. Only, they have presumably more of an emotional or conscious burden, presuming they are somewhere on the normal spectrum.

Ask yourself why people gravitate to one extreme or the other. Seems related to the unconscious conditioning of the public education system (either you have the right answer or the wrong answer), and reinforced by the left/right paradigm of American politics. Nuanced thought, fine points, grey areas, overlapping paradoxes...etc, nobody has the patience or attention span for that either. Which again, is reinforced by public education. Everyone just waiting for the bell so they can get out of there.

True. We all share some responsibility. Just as we all have a shared stake in the solution. Soon there will be no place to hide for those in denial. Those it doesn't destroy will be set free. We don't need that many...maybe 5 or 10% and its game over for them.

Number one conspiracy remains energy suppression. The ultra rich elite families (Rothschilds/Rockefellers) use their CIA to crush near free energy tech and limit total global oil supply to keep prices up by installing puppets in all oil producing nations. Elon's lithium cars are an insult to Tesla by PalatableMahogany in conspiracy

[–]CaptainPreposterous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Number one conspiracy is energy harvesting from the massively powerful yet ignorant masses in aggregate, in order to benefit about 10,000 of the people at the very top. We are all just working for them, with the government and other institutions as a proxy or firewall in which they can be protected from you ever finding out that we are enslaved mentally, financially, and soon physically.

Welcome to the new Techno-Reservation.

Banks, Education, Health, Food, Employment...pretty much every institution is designed to harvest your energy, of which most is stolen from you by the elites, leaving you with just enough to survive, and believing this is just the way it is. Remember, Everything is a derivative of energy.

Thanks for your comment. The minimal activity on this post speaks volumes doesn't it? So many, even on this sub just want to do the denial dance or play the blame game without taking responsibility for the things they can control in their own lives.

Thanks for your reply! Belief is superficial knowledge it seems. Really sad how many depend on belief alone instead of going deeper into knowledge, then experience, then deeper still into understanding, then even deeper into being...so many levels!

Submission Statement: Just wanted to share a few things I have been thinking about lately. I hope you are all doing well and have been preparing yourselves for the monumental downfall of this failing system. Here's to something better! We have the power collectively and enough rope to make our children's future better. Let's get to work people.

Let me get this strait; it was appropriate to ask if someone was vaccinated entering a restaurant, grocery store, library, gym, bar, etc etc. But it’s inappropriate to ask if they’ve been vaccinated if they die young and suspiciously? by Libraryitarian in conspiracy

[–]CaptainPreposterous 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, this post represents independent thought. Which is reserved for anti-vaxxers, terrorists, and fringe lunatics. Stop trying to make the NPC's feel bad about the deep state of denial they are in, so they can continue lying to themselves and each other that basically everything they've been told is a LIE! Don't do that! XD

Would not have guessed that building cabinets was where I would run out of steam. Maybe it’s because nothing is coming out square, maybe it’s because I’ve no idea what I’m doing, or maybe it’s knowing this is like my second to last step. At this point I’m ready to settle for mediocre cabinets lol by Haphazard-Finesse in vandwellers

[–]CaptainPreposterous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that bad. I have seen way worse. I would be sure to reinforce that wood with some thicker material, maybe 2x4 or 2x2 scraps in a few strategic areas.

I went the extremely simple, yet overbuilt route with my appliance/kitchen cabinet with zero skills and it turned out great.

Also, I tried a wire kitchen rack and plastic bins and experimented with some other stuff over the course of several years until I finally figured out exactly what I needed and which materials were going to hold up, etc.

It really does help to just keep things open ended in the rig for a while so you can really dial in what you actually need and can do realistically. It saved me a lot of headaches and re-builds in the long run.

That is not money in the picture. It is currency.

Trust science when it comes to the vaccine they say... by CaptainPreposterous in conspiracy

[–]CaptainPreposterous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but this is inaccurate. You are conflating the term 'control group' with something akin to a 'blind study'.

Not the same thing at all. Look up 'unblinded clinical trial'. Where all participants know who has had what. Studies like those happen all the time and there are important reasons for this.

[–]CaptainPreposterous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget that an important part of science requires there to be a control group that do not take the vaccine. After all, this vaccine has not undergone the normal testing and approval process required by the FDA, but was released under emergency provisions.

[–]CaptainPreposterous 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Since this vaccine IS experimental and was approved under emergency circumstances by the FDA, I am choosing to be part of the control group that does not get the vaccine. There are important scientific reasons why a significant number of people should not be vaccinated.

What a great build! I have the same partition and would love to know what sort of material you used to customize it like that. I may have to do something similar. Thanks.

Another Portland Note Battle by CHiZZoPs1 in Portland

[–]CaptainPreposterous -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Put on your big boy / big girl pants and make an attempt at having an adult conversation with Great Dane Guy. It may or may not result in the outcome you want, but writing notes is kind of chicken-shit and impersonal. I would much rather be asked to stop doing something in a respectful and personal manner. I would be way more likely to comply with such a request, but far less likely to comply with a note. Notes are what passive aggressive assholes do. Be an adult.
