DO You Feel Brainwashed?

[King Shizzo]

Are we ants? Are we just a cog in the machine?

[Humble Narcissist]

No, I feel very aware.  I was definitely brainwashed when I was younger.

Unfortunately, the younger generation has no hope. That is why I will never have children.

Agreed, I am so glad I am not raising children in this generation.  The generation raises the kids more so than the parents.  Why have sons that grow up to be beta fags, soyboys or Antifa losers?  Daughters to be strippers, mudsharks, lesbos or onlyfans whores?

Meltdown. For all the right reasons.

You need to actually fuck in order to have kids.

You don't have to worry about it then.

Having no options of any girl sleeping with you, it seems that choice was made for you.

One day when I was around 28 years old I was driving home from work listening to the stock market report on the radio and I suddenly woke up.  Then I started thinking: "What's all this about...Why are we here?... are we simply just useful idiots/slaves?"   

That was years before the internet and 9/11.  Before being red/blue pilled was a thing.

The bad thing is once you wake up, you can never go back to being ignorant and blissful ever again.

Same here.

[Board_SHERIF]

anyone who watches CNN etc is brainwashed, Fox news is also guilty but to a much smaller extent.
So many lazy people out there that take these fake news outlets as gospel.
Every single libatard on this site is lazy.

[Body-Buildah]

Just glad I grew up when I did (70's, early 80's).

Metal music, weights, girls, concerts, beer, weed. Not too different from what I still do today!

[tommywishbone]

More hungry than brainwashed.

Favorite food? Mine is steak and chicken wings.

I pretty much like all food if it's fixed well.

Steamed cock is not on my menu.

In this experiment of capitalism, unless you're at the very top (I don't mean 1%, but more like .01% Buffett, Gates, Bezos etc), we will all suffer from various levels of brainwash.

Those who attain both financial freedom and independence are able to see the picture clearer than most, but to get a complete idea of how everything functions and to find yourself exempt from the many harsh realities of this government, you really have to be above the masses.

Sadly, most forms of economies and governments worldwide do the same to their people. If you're aware of these harsh realities but still have to exist within the system, it sucks very much, because you soon realize you can't do much to escape it, no matter how hard you try. You can't literally pull a Walden as Henry David Thoreau suggested and simply move away from society and live in a cabin immune to society's harm.

One of the best things one can do is to exist in ignorance, so that you are able to experience bliss, even if in just transient and small doses.

I think it's healthy to allow for the possibility that we may have been fooled while thinking we have woken up.
You see a lot of people on the net calling others sheep but it seems to me they are often complete retards themselves.
And yes, I'm critical of myself and not overly confident in my ability to reason or see the "truth".

There is hope.

It comes from learning from your own life then figuring out how you could have improved it.

It's called lessons learned. This is what you pass onto your kids, or in the baby boomers case you tell your kids how hard you had it, tell them they have to figure it out themselves and then listen to thrm complain how their 2M in the bank isn't earnjng interest and they are broke

I will not have kids, because society tells me to do so.

What an odd response.

You have kids because you want to have kids as part of your life and create a sense of family. It's that simple.

Are we ants? Are we just a cog in the machine?

we are either worker ants or government sponges

The top 1% tell 99% what to do
