    Pick your poison you know? They are all related. I have Prime, Discovery Plus, Disney Plus, and YouTube TV.

    I do have a family as well. It’s not just my decision. I don’t like it but a handful of companies basically have a monopoly on all forms of entertainment through your tv.

    Do you not watch anything on tv or the internet? If so, what subscriptions do you feel are acceptable?

    I haven't owned a TV in over ten years. Once you free yourself from it's spell you see exactly why they call it, "programming" crystal clear.

    YT is owned by Google, and they own the world. They can do whatever they want, and there isn't a darn thing anybody can do about it. They're also one of the biggest lobbyists in Washington DC, so they have all of the politicians paid off. What a sweet deal for them.

    Good for you man. And I mean that.

    Where do you get any of your news from or anything other then just working or talking to friends/family?

    I don’t have any social media which makes me feel as though I’m completely out of touch with most people. I can’t imagine not even having tv. You wouldn’t have any idea what’s new or happening in the world.

    Kinda wild to think about.

    What do you REALLY know about what's "going on in the world"? You only know what they tell you. I don't need to hear lies, censorship, hate mongering and fear pushing garbage. If you ever go without it for any length of time you'll see it so clearly you'll be mad at yourself for letting it poison your kid's minds. Disney (for one) and their indoctrination is absolutely repulsive and frankly quite harmful to young impressionable minds. Many people are waking up to this and have removed their kids from public schools as well. They're all on the same agenda unfortunately.

    I'm totally with you! I'm a hardcore redpilled individual and know what your talking about. I was just asking, how or where do you get ANY news? Read it in a book years later and hope thats actually factual? I have my son in a private school because I dont trust public schools. If I have to start my own school so be it, and 100% will if they mandate the vaccines for little guys in school. Its not gonna happen nor is he every going to where a mask.

    Anyway, im aware of sorting through the bs and dont even trust Fox News much further then I can throw them. As for disney, we dont watch any of the new stuff. Its all the older stuff I grew up in the 80's and 90's. Anyway, I wont go on and on but I guess im not prepared to have no tv but I will be very mindful of what mysefl and my family is watching.

    Err..... you realize TTR IS social media, right?

    You can get news a lot of places. Finding the truth is a bit harder. I read several news sites, including CNN money and the Epoch Times. They are both amazingly biased, my job to find the truth while holding my nose.

    Hah, well there were forums before the likes of facebook, twitter, instagram, tiktok, blah blah blah on and on. So, therefore I don't consider forums a form of social media.

    You're a smart man, sir. I could write a book on this mess we're in but I'll digress. I'm über glad to hear your kids are being protected from those we shall not mention. They'll thank you for it later in their lives and so will your community.

    What do you in place of those you don't want to mention? Anarchy? That's chaos. That's not going to do you any good either.
