@Meredith Miller, this is an excellent essay! I will share it far and wide.

Part of what we see in the growth of Substack is also the growth of commenting; people joining in community or in a place to go away from the totalitarian abuse. Many people complain it is just another echo chamber, but I think maybe it is a kind of therapy, a searching.

I also think we are seeing the hopefulness of many who think the totalitarianism is winding down. Like you said, they believe it is going to stop soon. But, it won't, and in a sad sort of way, I think that may be best. We can't get to alternate or parallel structures without the continued pressure and abuse.

"I think we will start to see forming parallel systems this year… media, banking, education, healthcare, and just about everything else." I pray you are right.

Anyway, thanks, I thoroughly enjoyed this essay and I'm glad I found you.

Creating parallel systems is definitely part of the solution but currently globalists own all of the Earth resources land, food, water, energy (I mean I can't even go fishing or have my own chickens without special permits etc). It is their system and there is really nowhere for us to go at the moment (kind of like being stuck with abuser under same roof not being able to go outside). Free energy would be total end for them though. They also are extremely arrogant which could be their downfall - thinking back to Chris Watts who agreed to have polygraph as he was convinced he can deceive everyone. This system will not last forever, but at what cost. Hugs!

Thank you Meredith, for an inspiring future oriented article. Let's abort this sinking ship. Now we can all recognize each other by the values we uphold.

My biggest fear at the moment is that this "breadcrumbing" of truth will serve as a much-needed pressure release, and usher those that are "awake" into an inappropriate sense of calm. This is what happened in my abusive relationship. Once in a while, he would own something, admit to his wrongs, and demonstrate shocking clarity on the nature of his actions + the emotional impact on me. But sure enough, the cycle of abuse would turn and would always escalate.

Breadcrumbing truth often ADDS to the cognitive dissonance.
