Off the grid, debt free, don't vote, don't rely on this "evil" government for anything. This is I have been awake for quite some time and have been very productive. To be honest I expected this sham of a government to have collapsed a decade ago.

So we work while we can for cash and live free.

Love you and your work.

Now think how many of the 5 apply to (ANY) ORGANISED RELIGION.

Take your time...I'll wait.

Not a cult exactly, but close! Enjoyed your interview with Mark Maresca and hope this:

sheds a little light on my perspective. Thanks for the great work you are doing and I look forward to potentially sharing more in future ...

Hi Carey,

Would love to collaborate with you sometime. I've been recording conversations with Independent Media creators for INN 1-on-1 for the past year-plus - (find those here - https://www.innnewsletter.com/s/inn-1-on1) and would love to talk with you about your work, the perspective coming back from an extended break and where you see everything going.

- I've interviewed Ryan Cristian, Keith McHenry and many others

- I cofounded INN 4 years ago, which is a network that's kind of a precursor and very similar to the Independent Media Alliance, albeit much smaller.

- I help costream AM Wakeup with Steve Poikonen weekdays to INN on X, Twitch & Kick,

produce/cohost multiple weekly shows/podcasts (we've even shown your vids & read your articles on "How Did We Miss That" before)

- I also publish here at Indie Media Today & INNnewsletter.

Let's connect!

Thanks,

Indie

Perfectly said, as usual.

I like that you mentioned that you might even be punished when you don’t do anything wrong. I’m a coercive control researcher and it’s so important (and hard) to provide offramps from violent extremism and hate fueled ideologies. I’m really inspired by the few groups who do it, like Life After Hate.

I lived in a full blown cult for some time. When I escaped I realized most of the country was a cult. Nothing like experience to give you the real hard truths.
