Excellent! The Dissident Life is calling. We are not many, but we are strong. We are building a future for our children. This is not a high-status life of shiny things, spotlights and activism, but rather hard work, stoic mettle, and spiritual fortitude. It is, however, a life full of Truth & Beauty.

The system is but a cul-de-sac of false offramps to keep you coming back around to lap up the same old lies. The inversion must be righted, one heart at a time. Reject it ALL.

For the sake of your children's children do the work now, have the courage now, to plant trees under which you will never sit to enjoy the shade. Do not indenture them into the empire of lies.

This is the calling of our generation. A great reckoning stands between more dereliction, selling out, and rationalizing submission as necessary. Do not let your kids bury a coward's bones.

Thanks GC. There are scant voices who dare to cross the great divide with the truth of our current station.

This is your best post. Thank you for saying this. Withdrawing from the corrupt system and *fixing ourselves first* is the only meaningful way to fight back. Unfortunately, this approach is continually ignored because it requires effort. It's much easier to hope that somebody else will fight for us.

In addition to what you've said, I'd like to plug Privacy Badger as a simple way to take control of our data trail --
