    There's a thin line between "real" and trendy/muppet.

    It's up to ones self to spot the difference in every singular person. Never judge by image of crowd.

    I think this sounds like my idea of chaos. I get hate for saying chaos... But I think you said it in actual terms of politics. In 2020+ I had and still have a hard time trying to talk about politics. Most political talk around me is pop media talk and gets watered down to pointless entertainment debates. But life is so much more than all that. It's an entire spectrum... I can't even talk or think about it without going deep into "wait... So that means life and everything is pointless". I always thought it was important to dig deep into that to find "the truth" but I realize that while doing that one misses out on life and it can lead to deep social depression/disappointment. Tbh it kind of got me to think real truth is nonexistence... Or maybe life in only the current moment with no past or future. But for some reason sometimes I feel alright about being lifeless because it's the absence of anything false so all that's left is truth. Even if it's just for moment. Maybe that's why people kill themselves... To have a brief peaceful moment of truth.

    So that's ^^^^^ a good example of what happens when I think about this stuff.

    Eli5 though... What does your post have to do with maoism? I don't know much about communism or the history.

    Nothing I was ever taught was truth.

    Why do they do this to people. At least teach people that life is actually just chaos masked with a thin veil of hope that's marketed for power and control. I can't enjoy anything. Everyone is either extremely naive, extremely far gone, or living war life because they understand chaos is now. Why are people surprised at how shitty things are worldwide? It's literally because all of us don't do anything at all that would ever make real change in this world. The realest most truthful thing I've learned in my 30+ years is that heartlessness brings success. That's the dominating national ideology masked by the white picket fence dreams of a past that's purely nostalgia. These old people act like things were different but the fact is that they just believed the bullshit and didn't know what the [some] youth knows now. They got played out and are willing to kill the future generations so that they can go on pretending it was a humble life in the past. Like the old hippies that partied wreckless and abused useful drugs until they were illegalized. Just some music... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enQsdbcMOiQ&t=9 I'm so depressed right now I can't pay attention to anything.

    Control Dramas - do you fit one?

    1. “The Intimidator” The Intimidator is an individual who steals energy by force. In order to get an energy boost, the Intimidator may be very loud, may yell, or may use violence. Ultimately, the Intimidator gets his or her energy by forcing people to pay attention to him or her. This tactic draws more energy to the intimidator because when we are treated violently or yelled at, we cannot help but focus on the intimidator. All of this fearful focus passes our energy over to the Intimidator. This is the most aggressive of the control dramas. Naturally, after a hostile interaction with an Intimidator, you will likely walk away feeling defeated and deflated. The Intimidator, however, feels empowered, boosted by the energy he or she has stolen from you. 2. “The Interrogator” The Interrogator, like the Intimidator, also has an aggressive approach to stealing energy. However, the Interrogator does not rely on overt violence or intimidation, but rather uses excessive questioning and judgment in conversations. When you are around an Interrogator, you will often feel highly criticized. The Interrogator will question your decisions, your motives, and your effectiveness. This strategy, in turn, keeps you sucked into the interaction, paying attention to the Interrogator. In these interactions, you will feel the need to constantly explain yourself, and you will feel the need to justify your choices and actions. This extra attention sends your energy over to the Interrogator. After spending prolonged time with an Interrogator, you will likely feel very drained, and walk away from the conversation feeling beaten down, even though the Interrogator did not use violence against you. 3. “The Aloofs” This one here is my personal default control drama… Aloof people do not use a hostile or aggressive approach in their ability to siphon energy from others. Instead, Aloofs rely on being vague and distant to capture attention and energy. An Aloof is more likely to keep information from people. This, in turn, causes other people to be interested in them and approach them to “pry” information from them. It is a highly passive way of getting attention from other people. “Playing hard to get” is the game of the Aloof. An Aloof will frequently leave you feeling that he or she is playing games with you, and must be chased. 4. “The Poor Me” The Poor Me, like the Aloof, relies on a passive approach to gaining energy from others, but in a different way. Poor Mes capture our attention by making us feel guilty and responsible for them. They often complain about their problems and issues in life, but not for the sake of getting solutions. Rather, the Poor Me complains for the sole purpose of gaining our attention. When dealing with a Poor Me, we often feel like we have to “take care of” the Poor Me or we must help them in some way. We may feel we have to listen to his or her sob story over and over again, and that his or her problem is our fault somehow. This is how the Poor Me steals energy from others. Snagged from this blog. https://raiseyourvibrationtoday.com/energy-work/the-control-dramas-celestine-prophecy/ The Celestine Prophecy has some great thoughts in it. I guess I'm generally 3 and 4. The book talk about how each drama is created by the opposite.

    Income based social and mental illness.

    Do you think that if people were paid reasonably, like if they put in good work and actually got paid a base living wage to survive independently, then people and society would be massively reduced of it's social and mental issues? I feel as though if I had been able to make money for working hard I would have been able to avoid nearly all my social and mental health issues. I don't intend for this to be about universal income or politics or anything like that. It just seems like society is knowingly creating hell on earth. Lack of freedom to exist creates a spiral of hell... Imo.

    Truth?

    The hardest truth is knowing that's it all a game. Knowing that even though we're all the same, and even that truth doesn't cut it. Knowing centuries of pawns made this life of hell. Knowing only centuries of war could get us out. Knowing some take pride in this life laid down, Built by others... Death is tradition, false laws taught and governed. Peace is killed. Every single instance. Because peace on earth *means resistance*. ...or something. It took a lot to kill my innocence... But you did it. The only faith I've got now Is when I make the choice to lean back and fall. Distance never ending Falling but in ascension. Reckless learning life's hard lessons, Aren't even lessons, But just wasted time passed. Fueling *their* egos. Fanning their flame. After all, I was born into *their* game. Just a pawn.

Afaik there is no place for me. I fully assume I'll end up homeless but I have to leave. I'm open to other areas too. Definitely away from north east/new England. Preferably away from East Coast....

    It is what it is...

    You have no idea how real this world really is, Look inside my eyes and see how many times I've died. I'm not even sure I'm even still alive. I broke bread with the wicked and learned lessons from evil all the while seeing heaven and hell inside all people. Never done hard drugs but still lived life under the rock. Walking with the misfits, experience, hard lessons, pressure and stress. Disappointed and feeling alive all at the same time. I've seen what most don't, the unspoke. Extreme environments that bring either death or growth. Spoken without speaking, intuitions, when you have no money that's all that brings wisdom. Classless, so maps don't work. Hope, and faith, falling back into thin air. Knowing whether it's living or dying I need to do it with no feelings. Life is life, love is love, chaos is God. Meditate and lose your body when things get hard. Remember, that's all we have, all we got. Water your garden, see the sun, trust me, live laugh and love before your days are done.

    Why I drink.

    I was never an alcoholic. I quit my job due to stress and not fitting in and then COVID started soon after. I also started Lexapro around this time. I drank more regularly after this but not as an alcoholic imo. Lexapro was definitely part of drinking more... Alcohol was different after going on it. During this time I got sucked into politics and watching the protests live. For once in my life I thought something good was going to happen for society. Even though I don't really support organized groups I thought something positive would come from everything in the end and for both sides even. Well it didn't. Without details... One night I got drunk and upset some people. And my life hasn't been the same since. I wish I could express how fucked up my life is. But I can't, I have to internalize all of it. So that, along with PTSD from certain experiences that came along with it... Getting drunk was the only thing that.. idk... That let me escape how fucked up my life is. And here I am today. I am off Lexapro now and that made a big difference in my frequency and amount of alcohol I drink. But what didn't go away is when I drink ...like to have a good time... I basically don't stop. In my life I get antagonized and poked till I react. And when this happens or I have a trigger or flash back of things that have happened things get ugly. Ive gone to jail for a fight. I've crashed my car. Some other wild experiences I'm not going to get into. Tbh I've seen worse drunks though. I don't want to quit drinking. One day it will probably be my way out of life. Quitting drinking isn't going to stop my circumstances. It's not going fix my neurodivergence and lack of life skills. The only thing that could have fixed my life is having good people in it. But my life isn't fixable anymore. I literally can't fix myself to save life. My options are to be homeless, or kms. And I postpone that choice by drinking.

    Resources for moving out of state or country.

    I am hoping to move ASAP and have no idea what I'm doing. Does anyone have any guidance? I've never made much money in my life so I'm nervous about that. I want to move to the West Coast and know it's more expensive there. I want to be somewhere LGBT friendly. I like nature and paddle boarding too... So it would be cool to still be able to do that. I don't know where to start. When I look for apartments it's always about ...1 or 2 apartments in my price range in an area of hundred of thousands of people. I'm kind of unsure about looking for a job. I typically suck at interviews and have been the type to prove myself via hard work vs selling myself to an employer. I'm a pretty quiet person and it takes a lot for me to warm up to people and I find this to be a bad trait for employment. Ime it seems social people get picked first regardless of work ethic. Idk any advice would be great. Like steps to be broken down so I'm not overwhelmed. I want to avoid areas of crime, and prejudice. I also enjoy people that are down to earth more than what I consider wealth, trend and privilege. I make about $14.50 right now....... lol-fml. I wish dorm style living was a thing. Thanks in advance for any info. Edit: in terms of our of state... I'm thinking Vancouver CA or Toronto. West Coast would probably be Cali, OR or wa. I'm somewhat open to East Coast south of Maryland. Also, I'm in my 30s.

    some questions/ virt-manager/ proxmox/ debian

    I am going to redo my server from scratch. I installed virt-manager hoping to build it in there and keep setup guide/notes for myself for when i move it to the server pc. Im not fluent in linux speak so bare with me. Does anyone know how I can reach the proxmox IP when its in a vm set up with virt-manager? I installed it with the default network adapter setting and it gave me 10.0.2.15 for the ip. I couldnt reach it from the main system or a debian vm. I deleted both the proxmox and debian vm's and will try again. Should I be using a different network mode in virt-manager? is it even possible to do what im trying to do? I want to try out using proxmox with a debian vm instead of baremetal omv for docker. I was also thinking about using a VM of omv for my storage drives. anyone have input on this stuff? I saw docker has a desktop app that seems pretty good so I was going to try that. Or would it be better to just install debian without a DE and use docker from the command line? should i just use debian for the drive shares too? should i stick with smb? does it even make sense for me to use proxmox? I figured it would be easier for me (personally) to keep things backed up. I like the idea of being able to create new vm's to experiment with without breaking my main/only server. Thanks
