Bagholder’s last article (linked here) made the argument the American populace, as a whole, is being brainwashed through the systematic triggering of our fight/flight mechanism by the ruling class. In the 24 hours immediately after publishing that article, Bag had more followers unsubscribe in that one day, than the entire previous year!
I throughly enjoy all your thoughts! Matter of fact could easily have more delivered to my in-box!
Can only hope I am still walking Gods green earth to see all these folks get what they have ignored and swept under the rug! Gave up trying to wake the sheep and have my small wolf pack standing at the top of the mountain
Cognitive dissonance has a strong psychological pull. Most folks are so triggered by the constant stream of lies from institutional power, that much like Pavlov's dogs, they are conditioned to react without thinking. The more I think about it, it really should not have been a surprise that a percentage chose to unfollow.
In order to see truth...we must be willing to tolerate it.
Seldom do those who say they live for the truth, fully understand what the truth is. I find those who are well educated, think they know enough to know the difference between truth and a flat out lie. I also find those same people are educated enough to know...but not enough to know better. When you contain your line of thought in a pigeon hole as most who are educated do...there will never be any thought process outside the box...which I believe is what opens up the door to contrasting/conflicting thoughts or ideas...and subsequently delivers to the holder a more open frame of mind of what "is". I don't claim to know everything, but I do consider myself to be receptive to even those ideas which I would generally not be open to.
Triggered is the result of what you write...good for you. At a minimum, it forced them to react, rather than to just blindly accept. I bet some will come back...those that don't aren't worth saving...if words are the mechanism that insulted their educated ways...
I love the manner in which you write...keep it up.
I agree completely! I would add, social media has left an entire generation so divorced from reality that to them, "Truth" is no longer a virtue - it is just some vague concept to be argued over in tweet form. Throw in their ever-shrinking attention spans, and the social media rabbit hole has left them wandering around blind, with no idea how to distinguish the false, from the true. Sad to say, but it appears their imperial conditioning has taken root. To paraphrase Nietzsche - "Insanity in groups is the norm" - so we will have to coax them back to sanity one at a time....

Btw buying the dips and continuing to stack
I say God Bless and well written Sir!
Thanks for the kind words, will have an article out soon with some up-to-date opinions on stackable investments
No idea why people unsubscribed 🙄
I’d say they didn’t for a second even think about it. Too closed minded
i couldnt find anything controversial enough to warrant even the possibility ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Greek gift? Cornhole?
I've always taken "Greek gift" to mean receiving what appears to be a gift, when in reality, someone is just slipping you the weanie....
