Opioids. Or illegal drugs. TPTB don't care which.

Pretty much this, pick your poison but get closer to God.

Ha.... "God"

In that day, you shall understand.

That's totally off base....SSRIs also work!

by not letting your thoughts led by doomscenarios

Make sure that each day you focus on real people and real life every day. Begin with yourself and what you want in life, then family or romantic relationships, include your co-workers and neighbors and the people you bump to as you are out and about.

Notice how life is actually happening, don't pay so much attention to all those efforts constantly

We are all still the same people we were last year, 10 years ago, 50 years ago.

We are not naturally violent against each other, we are a species who are genetically designed to succeed by cooperating with each other.

Pay attention to life as it is actually happening, not to the constant stream of manipulative misinformation, and keep moving forward and when possible provide any boost you can to others, and sometimes all we can offer is a kind word, thanks, and encouragement, to another.

I agree. I’ve seen a lot of psychologists and spiritual healers over the past year or so cause of my sensitivity to the world. They all just tell me to be present in the moment and be kind to those around me and do the best I can.

Economic collapse? A booming economy and living in a powerful Western country people beg, borrow, steal and even kill to get a chance to live in make for a great place to create something new.

Go backpacking.

Instead of being ignorant like the masses, focus all your energy in trying to change things. This is hardly easy and you will have to search for a lot of answers, but It's better than staying ignorant.

The easiest thing in the world to change is onself. If you cannot manage that much, one has no buisness trying to change anything else.

“And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end."

Since scientists first started electrically shocking Planaria worms, you've been subject to series of shocks. If you fear it excites the flight/fight response, if they keep it up, you are left with flight/hide due to exhaustion, you become decerebrate no longer capable of critical thinking, cognitive dissonance leads you to say, "Help me Daddy, make the bad thing go away." You surrender to authority.

They've been fine tuning the shocks: frequency, duration, reinforcement, and inventing new ones. Example: the 17 year War OF Terror. How about "Carbon"? Overpopulation? Now, "The Russians are coming!" It's all a shit show to make sure you can never raise your head up and question or challenge the rich man's stranglehold which becomes stronger and stronger as he buys or blackmails our representatives. We are no longer represented at all, and you know it. Oh how about those mass shootings? Rumors of war? On and on. TV is the number one hypnotic source of your misery.

You just have to realize that regardless of what we floundering humans do in our brief moment of dominance here, everything is entirely insignificant in this little shithole corner of the universe.

Regardless of what happens to america, the sun will burn out and we will all freeze (though of course my friend we will both be blissfully dead long before either of those things happen)

After years of living in fear and over a decade of thinking any minute could be it, one day you just sort of realise this is how its always been and the world hasnt ended yet.

This

control your mind and you control your world.

Don't worry too much about civil war. TPTB only promote wars that enrich them without risking their power base.

Well considering you feel you're excluded from the masses for some low tier level line of thought. You seem to be on the right track.

Its far easier to ignore reality then to accept it. Start smokeing pot every day. Binge watch tv shows, stop going to /conspiracy, look at more cat video and so on. Remeber drugs are your friend if you want a foggy mind.

Here's what I do: I am trying to make as much money as I can, and build up as many assets as possible. I have mainly invested in real estate, and I now have enough passive income that I don't have to work if I don't want to, but I am anyway. I also own a property in Montana, which seems like it would be a pretty decent place to be if shit goes down. For now, its a great vacation spot that I can rent out.

Point being, live normally and prepare as best you can in case you are right. I'll bet nothing significant happens in our lifetimes, but I'd be a fool if I didn't hedge my bets.

do what you can to enlighten friends and family and that's about it.

pray for serenity accept the things you can not change and wisdom to know the diffrence.

Stop coming to this sub. Stop watching YouTube, the news and stop reading political articles. If you have none, try to find some hobbies that involve creativity like writing stories, music, painting or physical activities like hiking or sports. If you end up taking up a new activity, try joining interest centric local groups through services like MeetMe. Meeting new people can help.
