Disaffected: Episode 158
February 11, 2024
-This week's episode discusses the total disconnection from reality that abides in the West. We are in complete denial of the truth from the White House down to the family dinner table, and it may be the death of us.
-President Joe Biden's failing memory is apparent to everyone, and now it's been "officially confirmed" in the special counsel's report on his retention of classified documents. Biden cannot even remember the date of his son's death.
-Father and public hero Billboard Chris was assaulted again for protesting the transing of children, and the video he got of his assailant is a textbook illustration of severe Cluster B personality disorder behavior.
-Munchausen mothers sterilizing their children, police departments that claim they can't tell if a rapist is a man or a woman, and more. Friends, were in deep trouble.
So no one told them that life would suck sometimes, or what?
I have to say it. I never had kids, but if I did, this shit would not fly. The worst thing a person can do is indulge self pity and learned helplessness. These breakdowns and tantrums should embarrass the hell out of them! Then they insult us (older people) and hate on us while they demand we treat them like spoiled children and take care of their needs. From what I gather, they treat their bosses like parents, too. Yet, it’s never their fault, right?
No ego death, because they avoid everything difficult or painful. Sheltered, as you say. But without ego death, you can’t build character or confidence. You can’t know yourself if you never grow. You need to be broken, multiple times in your life. If you never experience it, you’re just reacting without thinking. I actually kinda looked forward to it (I was weirdly counterphobic). It can even be an interesting process to witness from within.
I haven’t finished watching this episode, but I was so inspired I couldn’t wait. Good one, Josh!
