Seeing too much… and what that costs.

Interesting that this would pop up now. Recently I have got sick of watching the whole thing. Long since stopped watching and reading the MSM. Sick sore and tired of doomscrolling on Facebook, filled with stories that just annoy you. Even the alternative scene podcasts are the same old, same old.

I recently found in a charity shop a slim book called 'Stop Reading the News' that fitted into the funk I was in. Its advice was to stop reading the news but the author extended the argument to 150 odd pages. It's essence was that you were not in position to do anything about the events yet you filled your head with a plethora of details on issues that really didn't affect your immediate life. What was the benefit to know about a fire that claimed lives in India? Or the trip around the darkside of the moon? His mitigation was allow your local community news or pick one topic and go in very deep on it.

The same sort of vibe is being given off by Neil Oliver. He is basically saying that you know they are cunts, you know that they are out to get us, what's the point of giving your energy to them by following every twist and turn of narratives at a national or international level they present to us. Live your life as best you can away from those who seek your attention.

I am trying my best to deliberately avoid Facebook and Telegram. To avoid the long form podcasts that regularly listened to whilst out walking. They had just become white noise or company of voices which I wasn't really listening to but were on. I'm still listening to James Delingpole podcast as you get a lot of interviews which are madcap, and probably just nonsense theories but are enjoyable as entertainment.
 
Alex Mercourice, his buddy the other Alex, mcagregor and the nuclear lad are four that should be avoided. A spate of financial lads should be avoided as well. I dont scroll fb much, I just reply to comments to me. I do minimal telegram, no tik tok, no instragram

Makes a lot of sense. But when the globalists try something bad in our neighbourhood we need to be ready and united to defeat them. Rather than concentrating on globalists globally, we need to identify globalists locally and figure out some way to - legally - neutralise them.

Globalists and useful idiots seem to be only 20% of the population.
 
Happy to say that I was on FB for about three weeks ten or more years ago and have never returned. It is only LinkedIn and Sarsfields that gain my attention now although I find myself communicating by WhatsApp occasionally. Social media as it now is can absorb far too much time and energy and it is a pitying site to see grown men gormlessly scroll through various feeds watching memes and other crap while ignoring all around them.

As for the press itself then it is simply there to reinforce a narrative, not relay the news.

Indeed, I remember spending hours a week listening to the Duran at the start of the Ukraine War. Now I cant tolerate Alex Mercouris.. the old windbag. So many predictions of the Ukraine Army on the brink of collapse. Another my wife watches religiously is UK Column. It has now descended into in-fighting with accusations of 'Zionist' to previous contributors and shady funders with Chinese connections. To my mind it looks like more artificial soap opera to engage the audience. Its an arc that so many of these alternative commentators seem to follow.
