Withdrawing from society.

If it wasn't for my parents, I would sell house, head to the mountains of NC and homestead.

society suks now . you cant even tell a joke anymore.

Same. Pretty much watch Bible studies, read and that's it. Maranatha

Yes, because nothing feels right anymore. There's been too much division, too much fear. Restaurants do not feel the same to me. The food quality and service have diminished -- not since "Covid" but since the vaccines.

Shopping is strange. Stores have less and less merchandise and the aisles keep getting wider and they're spreading things out. I noticed that today at the Wholesale club and at Target.

Everything feels dilapidated and dirty and there's a weird vibe. I can feel society falling apart. It's sad because this was done to us with psychological warfare.

I do still enjoy hiking but other than that I prefer staying home because every time I go out it's an odd experience. I hate what's happened. :(

Grace is to be found in the wilderness

I don't see what this OP is bitching about. That seems great to me. I only talk to one person, besides this one person, I've learned to say fuck everyone else, IDGAF I'm done fuckin' around trying to make friends/acquaintances. People. Don't fuckin' care in public, don't give a fuck one bit. So fuck you all

Kudos to you! I did a similar withdrawal and moved to South America. My homestead is not as secluded as yours, but I like having some neighbors for added security. I keep busy with daily chores, my dogs and I have ample time with God and a full spiritual life. Still, I'm watching the world collapse and feel like I live somewhat insulated from most of the chaos.

Yes, I'm fine with not going out.

I have friends at work I see but that is all.

The world is too worldly now.

I can't even watch cable/TV anymore. I hate commercials.

And besides, there is NEVER anything on.

I stream movies when I want to but that is all.

I get visits with my sons and that is enough.

Withdraw is the opposite of attach.

To attach is almost synonymous with trust.


You are not able to trust.

I trust a lot less people than I used to. Its not your fault. People are getting more untrustworthy. You want to be kind and caring without being naive. Very very hard to do.

Since 2008 bro

WE ALL R DUDE....

i withdrew several years ago. i have zero friends whom i can relate to whats going on. i have no relations

has anyone else noticed when trying to talk to someone they dont answer you? like you make a comment and expect some feedback but all you get it dead air? I also noticed myself having the same malady. i think they are killing our spirit.

i also saw a tiktok where someone scraped their windshield with a CC, then used a neodymium mag, it stuck. they are spraying graphene on us

Since you have made the leap, in your opinion where are the most livesble places in South America for a quiet ex pat with a child?

I am definitely worried about this, to a degree. I have several acquaintances that work for the municipality, are members of rotary clubs, part of the charitable giving circles, but they're also awful people. In the end, they would sell their family out to save their skin. I worry about those types throwing me under the bus because of my vaccination status.



THIS so much. I track my trips to the store and am appalled at how often I go for supply runs. None of us are truly prepared.

Interesting thing.

I'm a city girl, grew up in a massive metropolis and didn't know much about living in the country, other than a couple of years I spent living on a startup farm 5 years ago. I was very well versed and driving on 8 to 10 Lane freeways, shopping at Costco, I'm dealing with densely populated areas, rush hour traffic - very comfortable with all of that stuff that comes with city living.


I moved to rural acreage (with only a very small town nearby) and the closest "city" hours away about 18 months ago when shit hit the fan in Wuhan and I had a bad feeling about what was come. The town is tiny, one grocery store, 25 mph speed limit, and I have to drive at least an hour to find anything larger than a two-lane road. No nearby freeways, no through traffic.


Over the past 18 months, I have only driven to the nearest large cities three times, and surely out of necessity.

The first time was a few months after I moved here. It was absolutely nerve-racking to drive in the traffic on the major freeways, and the energy from being in the densely populated city was absolutely overwhelming and uncomfortable.

The second time wax 8 months ago. Even worse - to the point where it was difficult to drive safely because of my anxiety level.

This last time was 2 months ago. And I have decided that it's the last time I will ever go into a big city. I literally cannot deal with the traffic, the stress from other people, the sense of foreboding that I get from being in densely populated areas. I literally just can't handle it anymore.

Additionally, I cannot deal with people anymore and go out the absolute bare minimum that is humanly possible, even in my small town. other than my family and the one old friend I have who lives in town who is sensitive like me, I just cannot be around people anymore.

it's a really strange and profound shift, and it happened so quickly. having lived in cities and being around tons of people all my life, I have no explanation, no logical explanation for this shift in myself. I only know that going back to a city or being around large groups of people is completely intolerable for me. And I'm 1000% happier just staying by myself with my husband and kiddo and our animals on our acreage.

if anyone had told me 5 years ago that I would reach the point where I could not tolerate cities, I would have laughed in their face. But here I am.

society? is that what you call it? this isnt a society. in a society people are social. we are a culture of individuals. been a long time since we were a society!

.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

If there's ONE thing you can count on, it's the fact that the number ONE target of the devil is those who want to be left the fuck alone.

These "liberal" demons have ZERO intention of leaving you alone. In their "minds" you will either be ruled, or killed.

Yes!!! Exactly the same! Glad their are others just like me!

I agree to an extent. He is surrounded by negativity. What's the best way to escape it? Eliminate it from your life. And sometimes that mean getting away and withdrawing and just sticking close to people with positive energy. And, again, the dogs. Always with the dogs.

Someone else wrote that it's not as easy as it sounds and he's right. Being self sufficient isn't easy. But it's really worth it, and it'll pay back in spades if things keep crumbling.

My job never shut down as we were exempt from the lockdown. So, it seemed normal for awhile, then everyone got the jab but a few of us, and our little band of brothers are closer now.

The jabtards are getting weirder and weirder lately. They have all changed.

Time to read a book it seems OP.

Wow. Very insightful.

Actually I've been doing that for some time now, I am similar to you, I love people, but I don't require their company. I have my best friend of 33 years with me...my wife.

Friendship won’t mean nothing to them when the Party comes.

I think many people feel the same. Been part of this society doesnt give you positive vibes any more, but for small sparkles here and there.
Have some good friends/family and a place to get away from all this stupidity and we will be ok.

If we pull the covid stuff veil away what is going on besides all that?

Is anything going on besides covid trauma?
Anything?

John 2:15-17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever


James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world

The man-bun and skinny latte create some drama.

I avoid people who aren’t European white so I even avoid people who are ethnically Mexican. I especially avoid blacks though.You can thank CRT for my choice to self segregate. In 2021it’s too dangerous, career wise, to be in the presence of any person who isn’t 100% European white. And yeah, most people of European ethnicities in the US are still 100% European white, myself included (as proven by a well documented lineage and dna test results to back it up.)

And I of course avoid leftists of all races/ethnicities.
