I listen to the Last Podcast on the Left and I’m learning now about the DuPonts. I’m astounded how it may seem like so little people know of them aside from the listeners. These are actual demons in living people to do the things they do. For example, they’re responsible for Teflon which is produced using C8 chemical. This is a forever chemical.
To give you an idea as to how royally fucked the world has been, Teflon is in numerous things that we use everyday. It is in the non-stick cookware we use. It’s in waterproof fabrics. Food packaging. Just a lot of shit. And we use these things - every. day. This chemical, once it is in you, it’s in you until even through death hence it being a forever chemical and there’s no way you can be rid of it. It can spawn cancerous cells in your body.
And I’m just listening to all of this thinking “Forget half of the shit we’re gearing our anger towards, it’s THESE people we need to draw and quarter!” because of the insurmountable damage and influence they’ve been in so many things that has everyone’s lives in a stranglehold.
I turned my attention to the aggression and the aggression went away.
It’s impossible to stay angry at anything for longer than a few seconds unless you keep feeding that anger with the stories you’re telling yourself. You don’t have to keep telling those stories - unless you want to stay angry, of course.
Remember that smart decision you made while angry? Yeah, me neither.
Who let a sensible reply in here? 🤪
Before I got my depression treated, I was angry all the time, and like you said, it was physically and mentally taxing to be angry all the time.
I wish a lot of folks here would take the doomscrolling energy and devote it to some direct action. You will actually help those in need, work out a good chunk of your frustration, and you’ll meet awesome, like-minded people. Best thing I’ve ever done in my life.
