A request for those above 30, but any opinion is welcome.

Have you ever lived in times similar to where we stand now? Where it feels like there's a great effort to implement and enforce evil? If so, how was it similar and what steps did you take to get through it? Did it make you stronger? Is this entire notion a pattern? Is this fear by design?

I'm in my 20s. I can't shake the feeling that there will be enormous conflict soon. The type not behind our screens but in our streets. It could be the endless psyop that is media (even the acknowledgement that psyops exist is a psyop) causing me to think this but I don't know.

I find myself here talking to a bottle of Jameson. Despite the dread I feel capable to lead or inspire those I love and respect to reject bullshit ideology and focus on family, self improvement, and maybe the idea we can become a great nation. Though I'm human and I am not God. I hide the doubt and overanalysis to not cause the opposite effect.

Regardless, this greenfag loves all you eldenfags. Share your thoughts.

I have a few comments that might be helpful.

First, America, before the JFK, MLK and Bobby Kennedy assassinations was a very different place. The Vietnam war left a huge scar across the American psyche, and we didn't know how to deal with it (and still don't).

The second event that every youngling should be proficient in is the 9/11 charade. Americans at that time had no idea how to respond. When President Bush declared, "Either you're with us, or you're with the terrorists." American should have rightly responded with tens of thousands of protesters in the streets. Free-speech zones should have been met with righteous indignation and absolute defiance. The questionable Patriot Act was made law, and is still law today - even though 9/11 is long gone. The seeds of all our governmental overreach problems today were planted on 9/11 and fertilized by the Iraq & Afghanistan wars.

Finally, I think it's important to realize that those with power today, are actually quite stupid, fearful, impotent, erratically violent (their strongest point), and devious. Their weakness is that they're nowhere near as smart as they think they are, and if you just use studied perception of their shenanigans, what they are actually attempting to do quickly becomes evident. I think it's important to feel secure with months of food and supplies. I think it is important to identify trustworthy neighbors (if there are any). Also, at least have a rough idea of your Plan B and Plan C.
