Absolutely not. I've never been so upbeat and free of The Matrix. I"ve planned for years to go self-sufficient, off-grid monk mode (thanks in part to the lessons of RVF 1.0 which stressed DIY location independent living). I"ve divested from all financial instruments and now have very little use for banks and money (although I do still use and enjoy these "luxuries"). For me personally, I'm on my way out and it feels great. I feel a lot of hope and very little doom. I think part of your problem is that you have one foot in and one foot out of The Matrix. You obviously are heavily invested in The System. I don't know if that's because your ego is still attached to tbe 7 million views your RVF 2.0 Trump Thread garnered or because you work, or have worked in politics? Either way, I respect you and value your opinion, but for whatever reason you despise any sort of critique of Trump and defend every valid criticism of him with "Yeah, but." It's amusing, but getting somewhat predictible. I would suggest that you take a step back and give yourself a one-month ban from all Trump discussions while you reflect on your obsessive defense of all things Trump.
Fine, but I don't think you're in any sort of position to question my faith or lack thereof. Your false idol TLS really shines through on this one. You're better than this Sam... take a step back and try to be less defensive and emotional when it comes to your boy Donald.
