So I came to a revelation lately.

[The Moth Attracted to the FlameParticipant 2982]

This has been on my mind for a while and I thought I might share this with you guys.

I’m going to stay off of social media for a while. Months, maybe.

People have lost their minds, in my opinion. It seems like at least every day, every hour, I hear some stupid s~~~ happening. I hear some government conspiracy or some act of deception happening every day. I’m just floored by all of this. It just never ceases to amaze me as to how stupid and careless these motherf~~~ers are. I can’t live around this.

And the same people that present these issues aren’t doing jack s~~~ to stop it. Things are just getting worse. They’re just bitches on the Internet. From Sargon of Akkad to MundaneMatt and others as well. These f~~~ing Patreon accounts and Indiegogo campaigns, these Kickstarter projects, all of this money-begging s~~~ is all they have. They present and exploit the stupidity of people on the Internet for the sake of money and fame, meanwhile sitting on their f~~~ing computers and searching on Google and Wikipedia and looking for the first thing that agrees with them is now known as “research” in this day-of-age. What a f~~~ing joke. It’s lazy and I feel like I finally see through that bulls~~~. These people don’t care about stopping these f~~~ing retards from taking their freedom of speech and their lives and what they love. I unsubscribed from these channels on YouTube because their content is just repetitive on YouTube. I know stupid s~~~ happens in the world, but seeing more and more of it just makes me sick and sad. I say that I get it, I understand, there’s no need to keep exploiting this and revealing this.

See, this is why I like MGTOW a lot. We not only present that abuse and ridiculousness of society, but we do something about it. We opt out of it. We’re trying to MAKE the change. Not let the change happen. I love it in these forums.

There are four things that happened today and yesterday that made me give up on freedom of speech and made me just decide to quit and make this post.

1. I posted a thread on Caitlyn Jenner not being prosecuted. You can look it up and my thoughts will be present there.
2. This article…just read it. It’ll explain itself.

3. I’m not using Twitter anymore. They announced this:
http://www.infowars.com/twitter-characterizes-disagreeing-with-someones-opinion-as-abusive-behavior/
That was the coffin nail to free speech on Twitter.
4. This.

So, I’m done for now. All of this is giving me a headache. I just wanted to put all of this information in one post. I might take a break from the internet after today. All of this is just…wow.

PS: Whenever I come back on, I might post a voice over demo and see what you guys think about it soon.

I feel you on staying off social media, there’s only a couple of sites I regularly check up on now, as for facebook, twitter, instagram, whatsapp etc I am long gone from them as they just make people more antisocial and worse at real world interaction. Let alone how depressing all the bad news/conspiracy theories etc has become.

As for freedom of speech, it doesn’t truly exist in reality. People like to invoke it when speaking but in reality no one is free to say whatever they want. Had some dickhead on here being disrespectful to others recently claiming freedom of speech, if I was to call his mother a slut, his father a paedo, him a f~~~~~ etc I’m sure he wouldn’t be singing the same song though. The same way, governments/police wont let you get away with saying whatever you want either.

Part of going your own way is logging out/switching off so I’d say go for it or at least just restrict your browsing to what you need, the same way you’d only go the library when you needed to know or research something.

Good decision. Been there too. At first it´s all overwhelming, when time goes by you see through this non-significantly, redundant BS. I did turn off the computer for most of the time and got out to track my interests. Today it´s easy, because of a sharp focus on things that are really compelling to my life. There is no time for anything that is not considered important to me. Your post was!

I agree wholeheartedly about staying off social media (I use whatsapp to talk with my family only and that’s the only form of communication I would go as far as the Internet socialization is considered apart from online forums where constructive dialogue and debate is held such as MGTOW among other forums I am a member of). No FB, twitter, Instagram, snapchat. Tools of a narcissist.

But I don’t agree with your quote below:

We would need to do more to make a change. I am not for any change. Perhaps someone on hunger strike can make a change without taking active role inside the platform that is deemed change worthy. You just sit aside and don’t eat.

I see MGTOW as indulging myself with whatever pleases me. And it is somewhat similar to the person going on a binge diet eating ice cream, pizza and chocolate and demanding change. Why suffer in the process.

Change whatever there might be won’t happen in any of the millenials lifetime.

If you will notice, the first item is the only item with more than one complaint. You will also notice that all of these categories could be used for statistical information.

The one problem is that for statistical purposes, the first one is completely invalid. This is know as a ‘double barreled” question. In this case, triple barreled.

Also further notice that ‘disagreement’ in lumped in with ‘offensive’ and ‘disrespectful”. This implies that disagreeing with someone is disrespectful and offensive.

I call your attention to this because it is another way that data is corrupted then passed off as legitimate.

I completely agree with staying off social media. There are constructive forms of entertainment, but social media ain’t it.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

[SkeptiskParticipant 3679]

Now you understand why I want to get off this f*cking planet. I’m also sick and tired of this crap.

But before anyone can make a change, they need to know about them in the first place. In it’s in this stage many people are perpetuating their information. The later stages, to make actual change, comes later and is the difficult part. Because that would mean work, and work is hard and boring. It’s this world we live in were every Tom, Dick and Jones wants to make their 15-minute of click-bait fame. So, it’s all downhill, and as somebody said, enjoy the ride. I plan to ditch when the feces hits the rotating blades.

You have a purpose on this planet- it’s the only place to be- do not despair friend, I and others are here for your company.

I deleted my Facebook account several months ago after reading the recommendations of others on here. I have to say it was some of the best advice I have gotten and the peace felt is tremendous. Simply and focus on the things that matter to you, social media is just a distraction.

Good for you, Red Firefly. I’ve been messing around with computers since I was a kid programming z-80s and 6502s, but I’ve never seen the slightest need for Twitter, Facebook or any of that crap. Never used it, never missed it.

[ThermonuclearAutomaticWeaponParticipant 80]

Damn….. Me and my Google Plus friend TSE1130 and Lazer The Fire Eagle plan on leaving G+. Sadly, he doesn’t want me to leave G+ for some reason. I should have taken an even longer break from social media. Now I have some dumb liberal feminist bitch (who used to be my friend) hating me now.
