As a libertarian, I agree with this. I am completely unimpressed by Trump or Biden. It’s time to think outside of the tired, outdated two-party box. #LetHerSpeak
For the past four years, I’ve been very frustrated with President Trump. I don’t see any real accomplishments. He’s mostly a showman. This presidency was primarily about boosting his ego. He’s another Silvio Berlusconi.
The biggest “accomplishment” that Trump has consistently touted (the economy & stock market), were the result of cheap money from the Fed. It was a giant post hoc fallacy. I’m angry that Trump keeps taking credit for that.
In 2016, on the campaign trail, Trump railed against the "big, fat, ugly bubble [in the financial markets]" and he promised to address it, along with the Federal Reserve.
When he got into office, however, he changed his tune. He embraced the bubble! I was outraged.
Not only did Trump NOT address the Fed and its role in inflating the most gigantic, dangerous bubble in human history, he actually started putting even MORE pressure on the Fed to keep pumping up the bubble.
I lost all respect for Trump at that point.
I absolutely refuse to vote for Biden. I will not vote for anyone who is anti-liberty.
A vote for Biden is an endorsement of radical leftism, Marxism (cultural & economic), cancel culture, and the burgeoning neo-Maoist revolution we've seen in the past year.
Absolutely not.
We're in another extremely dangerous, violent cultural revolution that has many parallels with China's Maoist Cultural Revolution.
We need to resist that with every fiber of our being. Voting for Biden is endorsing this revolution that is tearing this country to shreds. No way.
Another reason why I have no faith in Trump is that he is not addressing our burgeoning Marxist revolution head-on.
He needs to dispel the disinformation promoted by the radical left point-by-point.
If I was Trump, I would be producing high-production value documentaries & information campaigns that defend capitalism, Western culture, and debunk Marxism, and I would blast them throughout the country - in English, Spanish, Arabic, Vietnamese, etc.
Today's young people (who are sympathetic to Marxism) need to know that our economic problems are not caused by capitalism...they're caused by central banking and gov't. Capitalism is the answer.
In addition to my extreme frustration with the media world, which is overwhelmingly dominated by propaganda and disinformation, I became sick with coronavirus, which left me exhausted for several months. It's a very neurological disease, as I found out.
I've dramatically increased the scale of my prepping during my media break of the past few months.
We are not in normal times, nothing is "fixed" by any means, the government is not in control and they have zero clue what they're doing, and we're on the verge of a civil war.
I actually contracted coronavirus back in June, which was an interesting experience.
The acute phase of the illness (fever, weakness, chills) only lasted for a few days and I never had respiratory issues or needed to go to the hospital, thankfully.
I completely lost my sense of smell and taste for nearly two months.
I ate spicy Indian chicken tikka masala, but I could only feel the texture in my mouth.
I tried to smell an open bottle of isopropyl rubbing alcohol, but I couldn't smell it whatsoever.
I was very concerned that I had permanently lost my sense of smell and taste, which would have been devastating for a foodie and overall aesthete like myself.
Thankfully, those senses came back slowly but surely, and have completely recovered at this point. I am so grateful.
I needed to step away and gather my thoughts after an extreme buildup of frustration with the futility of trying to cut through the incredible amounts of propaganda, disinformation, and misinformation in today's media.
As an independent, young voice in the world of media & economics, I have found it virtually impossible to counter the astounding amounts of propaganda disseminated by governments, central banks, major political parties, news media organizations, and, now, social media companies.
I've become incredibly frustrated with the all-out assault on our freedom of speech, incl. the rise of “cancel culture,” social media censorship, and Orwellian-style language policing. I am afraid that we are following in the footsteps of the Soviet Union, East Germany, or China.
