Disenfranchised myself

>All known news spew out their own agenda, and I am constantly seeking out the real facts

I've been on /pol/ for longer than I care to remember. First of all, you're not seeking the truth, you're seeking anything that is contrary to popular info outlets, because it makes you feel smarter and somehow more "informed". We both know this. /pol/ in general works with a "different is better" mindset, that is why anti-establishment underdogs of whichever denomination are always their heroes.

/pol/ always babbles about ""muh redpill", but hardly any of them have ever been "blue pilled" in the first place. I love history and argued with a great deal of people there, and holy shit, it is absolutely stunning how little they are informed on the very things they are denouncing. The majority of them have absolutely no interest whatsoever about the subjects they circlejerk each other to, except what is provided to them in a few "infographics" and youtube videos. The rest are jewish lies or smth, whatever, fuck u cuck.

To put it bluntly, /pol/ has absolutely nothing to do with the truth. It collects small snippets of information, regardless of their context, puts them together, and let their imaginations fill the rest. And then you show up, believe it all, lose your firends, and then shit up /adv/. Because you're a smart truth-seeker.

My suggestion: start actually reading biased "blue pill" sources of news, history or whatever. It doesn't take long for cracks in shitty /pol/ theories to appear (especially when it comes to history). That is, again, only if you are honestly interested in the stuff you are researching.

I also thought they were wrong. I had completely different views and was well aware of the circle jerking they were into. I tried debating them on a lot of issues and they always proved me wrong, not by some tacky self-serving statistics, but by making me question whats right and wrong with the world picture of today. I didn't start out with their beliefs, I started out with the complete opposite ones and promoted those but they surely turned me on a lot of things I took for granted as truth.

I constantly see false media narratives that I don't need /pol/ to tell me are wrong and serve a purpose other than being informative. It's not because I pick sides and stick to them - I constantly question my beliefs and therefore others as well and it preoccupies me, thus making me depressed because of the current state of events. I don't buy into most of the shit on there, as I sometimes LARP into character just to shitpost and piss people off, but its the questioning of everything that has gotten me into this mental problem of mine.

Is there any diagnosis for this? I'd say cognitive dissonance, but I feel like that's the opposite of what I'm trying to do - put stuff into question and find out the truth as opposed to believing and regurgitating dissonant lies.

>turned me on a lot of things I took for granted as truth.
For example
>making me depressed because of the current state of events
Describe the events
>regurgitating dissonant lies
Tell me the lies

Also, how old are you, and what country are you from?

Don't be ignorant of the truth. Just accept that most of the degenerate things you witness are beyond your control, and focus instead on improving your own life.

>turned me on a lot of things I took for granted as truth.
For example: That Assad is evil and is bombing his own people cause he's just a dick. Reality being he is a secular leader that needs to use military force against jihadis/wahhabis that are taking over towns and terrorizing everyone who is not the right type of muslim. He is trying to regain back his country from terrorist groups that the western media calls "moderate rebels" i.e beheaders who want sharia law in Syria. I have come over videos where they behead children and make children kill people but the West is somehow against Assad getting his country back from that scourge.

>making me depressed because of the current state of events
Describe the events: People pretend to care about these things, but have opinions formed based on mainstream media instead of their own research. Many such cases.

>regurgitating dissonant lies
Tell me the lies: Hair on legs and being slutty empowers women, there are 63 genders, the whole feminism thing, Trump being worse than Hillary and so on.

I'm closer to 30 than 20 and live in one the Nordic countries that don't appreciate those views of mine.

Lol that's it? Jesus christ, I guess I've been here longer than I thought.

The West had an interest in Arab Spring. That did not work out in Syria too well, but it's a bit late now to switch sides, hence "the evil dictator poisons children" narrative takes the way. Also, support seems to be shifting towards Kurds, not the rebels. As for Assad, he's just a dictator that wants to retain his power, he could not give a rats ass how many of his countrymen die for that. Geopolitics 101: there are no good guys, you don't need /pol/ to tell you that.

> People pretend to care about these things, but have opinions formed based on mainstream media instead of their own research.
Key word is pretend. It just something to discuss during work breaks, they don't care about research. Neither do you for that matter.

>Many such cases.
Don't regurgitate shit, makes you look like an idiot.

>Hair on legs and being slutty empowers women, there are 63 genders, the whole feminism thing,
SJWs are a dying fad. They have always been a fad, but 2016 gave plenty of interesting talking points to push them aside.

>Trump being worse than Hillary and so on.
They're the same. I've told /pol/ on autumn of 2016, that if Trump wins, he's going to go full neocon. I was called a CTR shill. It's 2017, and would you look at that, he's a neocon.

>I can't associate with normal people because now I understand that countries are ruled by human beings affected by many personal and political pressures and not by evil supervillains out to top the mass murder high scores
Are you shitting me?

And you're naive as a 15 year old. I mean really, man, are you really surprised that media doesn't always tell the exact truth, and is biased towards the beliefs of their readership/viewership? That's not a ""redpill"", that's a fact of life. And it surely doesn't mean that "everything's a lie bro! The holohoax never happened!" You honestly don't sound 30 to me.

>>18273384
Those are some of the issues, and I live and work with sjw's and feminists. They are everywhere, atleast in my life. You are right, there are no good guys, but some are far better than others and I can't accept my country supporting the worse ones and their cancerous ideology. Trump is a neocon and a complete liar. I used to support him because he wasn't a politician, but turned out to be just a useful idiot for the globalists and did nothing of what he promised. As per usual.
>>18273388
Excuse my poor English throughout the thread and that I maybe am misinterpreting you, but are you saying most people know what I know? Because it really doesn't seem like it from my point of view with people around me.
>>18273397
I'm not surprised at all, I just hate living in an unwakable nightmare of misinformation. I don't support many of /pol/'s views like the holohoax never happening among many others, although I do larp on it to get responses (because I'm lonely I guess). I just can't cope with the realization of the world being so faux and humans being in such a misery.

Maybe when I truly realize and accept the fact that we are all fucked and there is no point in continuing the suffering by having another human put on this earth by me who can't do anything about the system, I will be content. But for now I want to make the world a better place and have children, which is all I live for.
