im new here and donthave much street cred but im putting here whats been on my mind, for what its worth.

i belive our nation has been under attck foir many years even decades to weaken it, decay it and make us forget who and what we are meant to be. ive known refugees from communist nations and survivors of the nazis. they sacrificed everyting to come here to try to have a life safe from tyranny and horrible persecutions. if you ever wnat to learn what socialism and communism, like talk to the survivors.

im not convinced trump lost and wont give up on him unless i hear him say he concedes. hes not said that yet. that means he is still fighting is ways we dont see or understand. if he concedes that is his choice, its between him and God.

but that doesnt mean WE concede. it means switch gears.
how does one resisst?
stop giving your hard earned $$$ to the companies that hate you
close your facebook, instagram, google, twitter accoubts, yeah i know alot of folks connect with their family and friends but hey, ya got other platforms and boring old email.
stoip giving them your time, attention and $$, they will lose ad revenue. that is a big deal. stop attending the platforms that hate you.

are we willing to give upp our CONVENIENCE to make a stand against them?
that is basically what we are dealing with---we have become slaves to their convenience.

we dont NEED twitter or facebook or instagram or amazon to live out lives, but wer have slowly been led to them and adopted their services because they are CONVENIENT/. im right up there---because of my disability i dont leave my home much and i use amazon alot its CONVENIENT but i dont have to. that dude hates amnerica while sucking off our $$$ thinking he is smarter andbetter than us worker bee peons.

buy somewhere else. stop feeding your enemy

i had a facebook account years ago cause my kids wanted me to get modern. i hated it. it is a time and life sucker. in the big scheme of life we dont really need this service but have come to accept it is necessary to our lives. its not. we have been addicted and conned.

ps---a tip if you ever close youe facebook account---go back and delete your posts. then go online and download the facebook tracker removal tool- its free. even if you close tyour facebook account they still track you. like forever.

the point is stop feeding the beast that hates you and watns to own you. downsize. simplify your life. remove yourself from the platforms of those who hate you.

it seems to me and im generalizing here, no offense menat, that americans have become addicted to the god of CONVENIENCE. we want info and orders and news in an instant and get all irritated and pissed if the nano-speed is interrupted. i am guilty of this. they have conned us in to believing we need them.

we dont

its time to walk away from hose who hate us, stop feeding the beast.

with all the challenges coming our wya, i lift everyone here up in prayer for Gods Grace to cover and and strengthen us all.

we may not win every battle but we will win the war
 
Spot on Jazzy. We are under attack with many players. With the exception of Amazon Prime, which is about the only reliable way to get products to me (they have me by the gonads'), I am all over your suggestion. I hate being hostage to Amazon.
 
i know what you mean. im very rural and dont get out much. amazon prime has been a good help. but i found that walmart.com can ship alot of what amazon has and sometimes cheaper, just got to spend $35 for free shipping. ive been using walmart as first choice if possibvle. but for your locale it might just be tougher.

maybe theres no perfect answer for everyone, maybe we just need to take a good long look at what our conveniences are and if we got addictied and if such things are hurting us in more ways than we recognize. at ewhat point dot hey become our masters.
 
I agree with you post totally. I try not to shop at Wal-fart much but my phone (only internet access) is through them. It's so cheap compared to other plans for the data but I don't like them.

Some say we should succeed even if several countries told the state we want to and more joined in that would send a big message. Although I'm not sure how it would get done.
 
we can do the best we can do. and maybe next week or next month we will see a better way. no matter how crappy things my seem right now, we just got to put one foot in front of the other, one step at a time, one day at a time.

we survived the first week of 2021

onluy 51 more to go!

hey , you never knw, we might get an old fashioned CME that takes the tech giants out dissolving their fake mega wealth and protective bubble and they end up as farm labor working for food. ya never know.
