I want normies to figure out they can get out of the matrix of their thoughts and ignore/bypass all tyranny and resist the State. I want normies to come to realize they are free to exit the b.s., and therefore belong here. But above all, I only want normies to want these things...I cannot force them. We all come to freedom in our own ways. I was tethered to the State for over 40 years before I realized I was a free being.
Completely share this desire …though I’m admittedly unsure how to escape all tyranny now. I’m just glad to understand our natural right to freedom. Even when being wronged, this knowledge is food for the soul. image
Who's "we"? Nope, not rich. My upbringing was parents having to make something out of nothing. My dad was an orphan. My mom grew up in the country with 3 kids and the whole family lived on my grandpa's meager janitor's wages. My grandma sewed everyone's clothing and dresses, no one ever had things to wear that came from a store, and they all got made fun of. They also had a pump in the yard connected to a well and an outhouse, so that's how they gelot water, and also had to go to the bathroom outside until about the '60s. Once she graduated high school, my mom either had to become a poor farmer's wife or get away from the country to do better financially. In those days, that was the way it was. She moved to the cities, about 3 hours away, and left her family to find work. She actually did marry a man who had money and cane from a good family who seemed nice at first, but he beat her regularly. Then she met and married my dad and they had me and my sister in the early '70s. They made do on my dad's bakers salary, which wasn't great at the time. Anything us kids got, we earned from doing chores or with good behavior, and lots of times, came secondhand or from a garage sale. My mom stayed home to raise us, but then started doing daycare in the '80s to help out with finances, plus she loved children and they wanted to have a lot of them, but couldn't after having me and my sister. We did just OK until my dad got promoted to be a manager. By the time we were teens, my family was doing better. My mom was a Girl Scout leader and volunteered a lot and I think that's where I got my passion for doing things like that. Anyway, they started out with not much. PS - thanks for saying you don't want people like me around nostr. That makes it clear on where you stand and what you think of me. I thought you were cool. Guess I was wrong, ✌️ PPS - I thought the definition of a normie is someone who goes along with the status quo, doesn't question much of society, and/or trusting of the state and its systems. But you seem to define it some other way. I can't tell you what to think, so we'll have to agree to disagree on that.
sorry I dont like to sugarcoat things. But as soon as you said that I was lucky growing up, you completely misunderstood me which caused the reaction. I grew up below the poverty line with hardened parents who escaped wars and terrorism, they slaved away their whole lives without knowing proper english just for the roof over our heads and food on the table. Nothing about my childhood was lucky except that it made me more resilient in the long run. Most kids would have ended up on drugs, on the street, or insane asylums in my situation. "Lucky"
I meant lucky to not have been raised believing in the State, schools, and other tyrannical systems, and trusting them. It was kinda painful to have to unlearn and untie myself from all that in my 40s.
my father was a child slave from the age of 4 to 14, joined the military, and ended up working with the KGB. It was kinda painful to realize his world as a single father during my toddler and adolescent years. I did not mean to offend. But yes you are right, I was lucky in some ways to have the harsh exposure to real life early on. I was unlucky to have missed out on other things in my childhood. Forgive my harshess, you hit a nerve with the word "lucky". I guess we are all luckier than the majority of people on earth and have to let that sink in. I appreciate you being here and the fact you are in my circle. Pura Vida ♥️
Not worried at all. Conversations like this are important so we don't assume too much about each other 🫂
