Good on you. I quit Twitter a few years ago and don't regret it. I even quit bloody Instagram a few months ago because I felt being shadowbanned on there for continuing to ask questions was beneath my dignity and was fuelling the victim mindset I'm horribly aware of is still alive and well and stressing in my cells. I realised creatively that I was collaging for the feed and not really ultimately for myself.
I'm just trying in myself to find a way to open my heart more, to try and ride the lurve wave, to keep focussing on what's in common to us all instead of being drained dry by all the people in their flaccid groups losing their minds at each other.
Thanks for that ,it's good to hear from like-minded people. I'm trying to live in the present, growing food and making ceramics, but I do wonder if ignoring the slaughter and increasing darkness worldwide is the best policy.
This is a phenomenal article, and it resonates closely with how I am feeling right now.
I wouldn’t, and couldn’t ever try taking the blue pill again, but, I also feel that I have almost been keeping myself in a “truth seeking” hellscape of sorts, and, I don’t know how much runway I have left there to be honest.
I also left Twitter, (after being banned multiple times and then expelled) in spring ‘22 - that time voluntarily (lent was the catalyst in-fact) but only to be snared by it through looking for information about a terrorist event (or not (who can believe anything nowadays?! )) in November ‘23.
I had a sparse relationship with it until about a month ago after having enough of the literal sickness it caused in the pit of my stomach.
I logged out then…but after reading this, I will log in once more, this time to delete the account for ever more as I know it has always been net-negative in my life.
I didn’t expect this bout of self-reflection, but I guess that’s what a great piece of writing will do…
I haven’t been easy to be around for the last 5 years, have caused issues with a lot of people. Regretfully, it was my genuine desire to protect the people I love the most, that probably made me difficult to be around… always trying to stay ahead of the dangers, either in culture, food, pharmaceuticals (etc etc.) … was I creating a hellscape for them too? I don’t know, but as God as my witness I want to stop it, if I was.
Come to think of it, the only time I have felt true joy in the last 5 years is when I reignited an almost nonexistent relationship with God, and the resulting gratitude for His graces in my life (family mostly).
I think that’s where my focus should lie from now on as He is the only “hero” that has not let me down, and will not either.
On we go. Asking the questions, questioning the answers (twice), researching...... and most definitely going through all the little things we thought we believed before before. Question 1. Is belief a good idea? Question 2. What is truth ? (Pilate didn't know). Question 3. Do we even know what democracy actually really is? (Yes will be the wrong answer unless you have a PhD in Philosophy or are a reincarnation of Plato, Bertrand Russell, Karl Marx, or Aleister Crowley).
But in the meantime, bid a less than fond farewell to 2024, and grit your teeth or dentures for 2025's onslaught. War and the slaughter of the innocents will continue, no tarot readings required for that foreseeing. Trans and the rest of the LGBQ community will struggle on against the phobias and misunderstandings of the media and its followers. So will most other groups ignored by those who consider themselves "normal members of the public". I think that refers to the elderly, the out of work, those who are ill or have some disability, single parents (that includes widows), students (they demonstrate, how dare they!), immigrants (down to the tenth generation), refugees ( from the Irish potato famine onwards), anyone who seems lost or confused, people who don't keep their garden tidy, people in council houses, the homeless, anyone suspected of claiming benefits, people idling on street corners, and anyone not voting for Englandandtheunionjackandthisisourcountry.
So, Happy New Year folks! Take a deep breath, don't die yet, there's a battle going on, and we'd like to win.

It's a hard row to how, this life!

Leaving Twitter is a good move, if Musk was in any way honest it would have been rebranded Shitter. Happy New Year
That means ignoring the government, the MSM, the experts and the globalists. I love it.
I've been doing that for years:)
