The internet is glazing over everything.
I actually live in a small town where I have unlimited choices. I can order food online—like grass-fed tallow. Almost everything healthy is available in the app, and they deliver it straight to my door.
But I still have the freedom to choose—so I could also order KFC or some other fast food, or just walk to one of the huge supermarkets. We nonsensically have five of them in a town of just 15,000 people.
If I go for a walk at night—maybe to a park or just along the road—I enjoy the quiet streets. The chance of getting mugged here is probably lower than your odds of solo-mining a Bitcoin block with a BitAxe.
Right in the center of the city, we have one of the earliest and largest urban parks in Europe.
Still, I’m starting to notice how people here are becoming influenced by the internet.
To be honest, you won’t run into any LGBT “activist types” 🏳️🌈 in this city. At most, there are a few gay or lesbian people here, but they’re humble, normal folks—not the loud, over-the-top kind.
I work with people even three decades older than me, people who lived through communism, and I often hear the same kind of nonsense from them as I do from my younger peers—wannabe Andrew Tates.
Things like “the world is going to hell because men aren’t men anymore” or “the LGBT agenda is taking over,” and so on.
But as I said—we live a relatively peaceful life here. Yet thanks to the internet and broken money, people—regardless of age—end up imagining all sorts of things that aren’t even happening around us.
Honestly, I’d even bet that in the far West, it’s not as bad with all the gender-pronoun madness and LGBT-related hysteria as it’s portrayed online.
It’s just emotional manipulation.
Education fixes that.
