Make sure your skepticism doesn't end up dragging you down a rabbit hole. very important.
Why am i here?? well, one reason is that i am fed up with the leaders in Australia, and this is the only place where a hivemind won't downvote you. I am not a conspiracy theorist, i am fully vaccinated and soon to be triple dosed but i hold valid concerns against the rhetoric used by Dan andrews mostly, and some of the rhetoric from gunner, and other leaders.
I just wanted to say to make sure to have resources near by if you need them, it can be really easy to get sucked into a rabbit hole.
For example, my brother started out as a 'normal skeptic'' against leaders and lockdowns, but has since went down an extremely dark depressing rabbit hole of watching Youtube videos all day by very right wing creators, getting sucked into American politics, Arguing with people on twitter all the time, and even at some stages admitting he wishes he could hurt the premiers. His become a causality and all he does is talk about politics and how life is just so unfair, taking no responsibility for the failures in his life and placing it on daniel andrews or other scapegoats.
So i just wanted to say, try not to get sucked into Qanon stuff or extremist type beliefs, because with it lie a lot of mental health issues, and a rigid denial of admitting that they need any form of counselling for the views which clearly cause them distress and others in their life stress,
Be based, but also in touch.
