The News

[Ichor]

Everyday I spend on this Earth I feel more and more frustrated with this issue I see cropping up time and time again. I have been studying the different aspects of the machine. Particularly how The News and media at large manipulate people on a grand scale.

I can't stress enough how dire the situation is on this front. People do not understand just how artificial the news really is. People take everything said at face value and it allows others to control them very easily. They grow complacent because they don't understand the doubts and fears fed to them by the News.

It becomes so exhausting for me losing people time and time again because I get so sad and angry over this fact. I carry it around with me forced to stay silent because people won't hear it. I just want a way to show them what i mean. Instead I have to babysit them like children constantly getting fucked over in spit of my best efforts.

Does anyone have any advice on this front? It grows harder for me to keep it inside. I can't live up to these inhuman standards of patience and empathy that I have to tread every-time I come into contact with people.

You understanding something, be it anything, is useless if your attitude is one of trying to change someone. People are incredibly sensitive to that (people who are hooked on news and conspiracy theorists even more so)
You have to first process the pain in your own experience before you can deal with others, because if not all they will feel from the exchange energetically is the high emotional charge you carry, and become defensive immediately
Best is to reach equanimity and calm about the topic or issue, by understanding how to best help others and when someone realizes you are not there to change their mind, when they ask you a question they have opened up, if not, in the future, no rush
You have to believe in the ability for people to change and grow, and give them the feeling you respect their opinions and views, even if they believe in outlandish things, their experience is real to them

*And always, if not possible, leave, or if its a lasting issue, limit contact, you cant change others they need to be open to it... protect your peace
