I've never been anywhere. Linh rounds me out a bit.

These are admittedly dark thoughts, but I can relate. In the popular mind, the true "conspiracy theorist" is someone who labors over-hard to force-fit his observations into what he believes is a working theory. But it is becoming too easy now, and there are too many "coincidences" to permit ascribing the general trend of events to happenstance or mere incompetence. Besides, if it were truly randomness or incompetence, sometimes it would cut in favor of the "little guy."

But of all that is happening, perhaps the most disappointing has been to witness how accepting, credulous, and unquestioning the vast majority of the public is. And I do not just repeat reported opinion on this--it is an observation that is borne out by personal experience; virtually everyone around me has been assimilated, and fully inoculated against any "conversion therapy" I am able to bring to bear. (Hence your friend "Teddy"....)

You said: “Morons, though, won’t just stake their hope on fake saviors, but contribute money and time to “elect” puppets.” For a long time now, I have considered any investment of time and (especially) money to political candidates to be wasted. At some point I realized that the (very) few out there of competence and integrity who might threaten to make a difference will be somehow blocked from being elected (being outright barred from the ballot seems to be a coming thing), or be unable to make inroads against the swamp of corruption that would surround them if they did. And most of good character and intelligence are now wisely avoiding the arena altogether, having realized this.

Factories may very well return to the USA, but not in the way most envision. As global supply chains disappear, the essentials will again indeed be made closer to home, but the range of offerings and their quality will likely regress to a level that local craftsmen are able to produce. Anything requiring technically advanced manufacture will either be unavailable, limited in supply, or vastly unaffordable for most of us.

BTW, no great mystery about “the first white cleaner I’ve ever encountered." This is simply home-made advertising using a stock image from Adobe, which is likely stuffed with pictures of white people. I found the image of the woman (minus the text, of course) in a quick search:

Great piece as usual!

Wow, what a dark piece, full of damaged people both physically and mentally. Places out of place and places destroyed. I must say, this does cast a shadow on my outlook. I hope these ideas are not a reflection of your state of mind, but a product of your mind to help interject some darker reality in our minds. Keep your spirits up, don’t let the manipulators take that from you.

What do you really expect will happen with this starvation thing then? And what sort of timeline are you expecting it to occur?

Jews hate us all...

Linh, how do you deal with people who steadfastly believe the Jew's lies whether related to coronachan or Russia/Ukraine or whatever?

I have simply run out of patience. Years back the lies were more subtle. Now they are absurd. I have lost any patience with people like Sailer and Taleb who bought into Corona as the new black plague. What I find fascinating is how once they went off the rails with Corona, they have been on the wrong side of reality. Taleb has a pinned tweet about how he will quit Twitter if people like Covid and Ukrainian heretics are allowed back on.

Hello Linh, thanks for your work! I've been reading your work for some time now, and been living in Phan Thiêt for 15 years. About time to have a beer and a chat together...

Linh isn't the corona craziness there? Wasn't Namibia a normal place?

My home is in Korea, but if I were in Namibia, I wouldn't come here.

Darnit Linh, as if I wasn't edgy, creeped out, paranoid and sad enough. Nights awake thinking about this stuff can get rough, but I saw an unwanted Hennessy ad on YouTube that made party time in the west look pretty hopeful, gotta give the kids something to dream about.

So glad that you are able to be back in Vietnam. This started on such a dark note, but by the end I am smiling and breathing.

A thoughtful start to the day. Thank you.

I agree completely. So much toxic waste.
