And also compare the situation to plenty of other times in history. In 2026 in the US, it’s reasonable to expect your children to survive to adulthood. This wasn’t true even 2-3 generations ago. We have antibiotics. Most of us are not starving to death. We don’t live in an active war zone (at present).

So I recommend staying informed, but limit time online, volunteer, count your blessings, and focus on other things, too.


All of things you say happened 2-3 generations ago could very easily start happening again when you have an incompetent and fascist regime taking over. So yes take care of your family and live but also be aware-pay attention and just because you feel comfortable and safe in your little bubble doesn't mean every one in our country is that fortunate. We need to pay attention and stand up to what is happening to our country and the people in it....otherwise who will save you and your family when it comes for you.

I think you can use social media but you also have to be verifying and checking it against other sources.

I’ll tell you what really bothers me; it is Harvey Weinstein! This guy is such a monster! Read up on what he did. I mean, you know the names, you know the actors he molested and blackmailed.

I just could not get it out of my head as I watched the Grammys: how many more men were in that audience who are just like Weinstein? but nobody said anything

But these Epstein files really shook me - all of these intellectuals and scientists and politicians were participating in this pedophile ring, and if they weren't participating they were socializing with a man that had already served time for molesting underage girls. My faith in humanity is so low. It is just vile.

Humans suck.


Were you previously of the opinion that our true human nature is good?

I suppose that it’s better late than never to understand how the world works.

I have switched to NewsMax. It is comprehensive and unbiased. NewsMax is great!
