    The more I read, the more I realize that America IS Russia. A lot of countries, governments, and people share a lot of ideas, thoughts, and goals. It really feels like average people are just getting played, manipulated, and strung along.

    I also realize that I’m starting to dig into ideas and thoughts that completely shatter any of my preconceived notions that I had about the world.

    In some ways, I think it is helpful. In other ways, I don’t know what to do with this information or how it can help me/others. I feel like it’s an information overload, and I don’t know how to handle it.

    Very interesting article, thank you for sharing

      Of course. I super heavily relate to what you’re feeling and I empathize. I feel ever since the election / inauguration my whole world view has shifted radically. I also have been at a lose at what to do with the information. I want to share it with people and show them what I’ve been seeing. But it feels like no one else wants to see it or can’t see it for a variety of reasons.

      The podcast that this piece is from has been a really interesting thing to be listening to recently and it’s helped contextualize how I’ve been feeling. The 2 women are people who until the last decade or so were lightly conservative and the show has been them just delving into more and more interesting and complex topics. The audio for this episode is free. I think they do one free one a month. Def recommend checking more of it out if you’re interested
