What you must understand being here on this forum .......members and guests are waking up to what’s going on ....that’s why we are here! There will be different levels of awareness ......the main common factor being food preps along with survival skills ,bush skills and everything else included to sustain ones survival ...by any and all means .....most based on two hundred and older technology mixed with modern day stuff.
Waking up , takes time .....it’s enough for many just to prep ,without knowing why they do it .....all they know is they have to do something ! It’s only later people start to question how things really work then delve deeper into WHY it works the way it does ....then wake up some more ! .....I do not doubt your intentions or sincerity trying to speed up the process ,........people will take as long as they take to reach their own conclusions ....but they must make them for themselves .....telling them how it is or how you think it is ....will not cut the mustard with many ...you constantly refer to name calling and bad mouthing ....why does this concern you so much ? ....if you are fully committed (and you are ) then your message is out and people read it ....that may well insight them to look into what you are saying and go deeper themselves ....or they can disregard all you say then call you a nutter or freak .....they and only they make their own minds up .....not withstanding their own personal circumstances and political points of view ...... you have entered a pathway that is tough ....you question most everything .....that makes you a target by default ! ........embrace it !
Most people are busy keeping their heads above water and paying their way , some loosing their homes ....some struggling with the kids shoes and clothing , some struggling to eat or heat ......this consumes their very being and is enough to worry about (by design imo) there is no time or space to listen to the likes of us .
You are quite right again, SS.
I only recently noticed how many 'guests' we on here. The figure was way down the bottom of the page.
Perhaps one of the Mods can answer this next question: Can guests comment or are they only allowed to read stuff?
Anyway, about the guests.
Maybe a lot of the guests are just curious types, who are dipping the toe in. Maybe some will join later (better hurry up, dudes).
Maybe some of them are here to laugh at the tin-foil stuff (I'm sure I'm keeping them well entertained lol).
As for the secret service - well you guys can get bent. You know if our overlords get their way, then you WILL be the first against the wall after they have suppressed everyone who wants to be free and left alone, right. They will NOT NEED you any more and you all know too much for them to be comfortable.
Sorry, as I was not clear. Anyone on here can call me anything they want. That's fine.
My frustration is external. Neighbours, parents with little ones and all that. I know that us parents are busy but -dang!- we are surely not TOO busy to NOT be thinking about feeding our nippers, right? Especially with rising petrol/diesel/ heating and food costs. I keep saying to myself: surely they must be noticing it now? But no, not round here, at least.
The reason I am trying to speed up the process is because food takes time to grow, as we all well know. Supermarket shelves, on the other hand, can be dry in 24 hours.
The thought of little children with empty bellies makes my soul hurt. I know their parents are so busy slaving for a system, which is going to crash by plan, are too tired to do this stuff ... but they won't let me do it for them for free.
GAH!
Yeah, I avoid politics like the plague when chatting with the oblivious round here - it is just too damned devices of a topic. I casually mention the cost of food, or the fact that this food item was not on the shelves and hope it give them a nudge. I've been a tad stronger about fertiliser and farm yields here recently but I'm dealing with people who think food comes from Maccie d's and kfc - gah again!
This is the problem when city slickers and townies who have earned enough money in a soul sucking job and can afford to move to the country - they have no idea HOW the country works.
I'm on a neighbourhood page down here, just so I can monitor the zeitgeist in normieville. One of the latest posts was someone complaining about horse droppings on forest tracks and narrow country lanes - this is where we are people! I do not comment on that page as I know I lack the self control to deal with these idiots. I get very frustrated and quite irascible at times, as many of you here now know. Once again I apologise to all members here. This is not the place, and I DO know that.
I just do not have anyone else to talk to about this stuff in real life - not one. And ...oh, man, this kind of stuff just blows my gaskets out at times. Sorry.
So there IS horse poop in the countryside! WOW_ Who could have known that?
Do you want the comment that got the most upvotes to that post?
It was: "Horse riders should be made to carry a bucket and a spade and to clean up, because dog walkers have to carry bags."
I wish I was joking.
I read it and in my head I said: Horses do not come with a boot, and my ex-eventer was quite a bit harder to control than a F*ing Prius!
I did mention that I'm irascible, right?
These folks come here and they have (good for them) enough income to keep up various classes and hobbies and inane rubbish and they give themselves cancer killing dandelions but don't know you can eat them. And this is the big problem for us all.
Humans are so disconnected from life, from the soil, from how food grows (they are trying to get zero CO2 ... I'll just let you marvel at this one) and from what it is to even just simply be around one another now - I can't help feeling that we may be doomed here. If something does not change, this certainly has the potential to be painful and devastating for a lot of uninformed but otherwise quite nice people.
Again, it makes my soul hurt.
