Alice Amell Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Hello, all! I am Tom, but you can call me Alice. I currently live in Chicago and am an an undergraduate majoring in psychology. I'm a very shy person, but like having a few really close friends. Right now all of my close friends are online and I've yet to find any anarchists in real life. I have converted a couple people I know online, though. I love Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit. I like playing videos (League of Legends, Dragon Age: Origins, Skyrim, Star Wars: The Old Republic- I'll probably buy Elder Scrolls Online). I started delving into truth around sophomore year of high school. I learned about psychology then too, one of the best classes I've ever taken. I began by watching videos on gender issues, and came to realize the feminist perspective wasn't in line with reality. I was taught by my parents feminists are for equality so everyone should be a feminist. I accepted this idea until I began learning about MRAs and MGTOW and how men face many issues too. Then my junior year of high school, in 2012. was the year I began learning about politics. I was following Ron Paul and really agreed with almost all of his points. I then identified as Libertarian and signed up for economics for my fourth year of high school. So as a senior I took economics in high school and it just validated everything Ron Paul was saying for me. The teacher taught Keynesian and "classical" economics, but he made a point of not expressing his own point of view on which one is right. Unfortunately I think a lot of the class believes in Keynesian theory and because nearly everyone where I live is liberal, they believe there is not enough regulation, which was exemplified in the movie "Inside Job" that our teacher showed us. I tried to confront my parents on economic issues. My dad won't even admit that raising minimum wage also raises unemployment, when that is an extremely basic fact of economics and is non-controversial. My dad also believes in god. My sister remains an adamant feminist and refuses to legitimize men's issues. My mom refuses to discuss anything that matters. Only until after high school began did I stumble across Stefan's videos and once I did I never looked back. Only until I did find those videos did I consider myself "out of the matrix" and really understand society. I completely agree on nonviolence, peaceful parenting, free society, etc. and want to participate in the community. Nice to meet you all
dsayers Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I am so jealous of young people today. You're talking about ways of thinking during high school that it took me another decade to get into. When I was in high school, I had a Color Computer 3. My first modem was a 150 baud pair of acoustical cups that I built my own RS232 cable for. I KNOW I would've been exposed to the truth so much sooner if the internet existed back then. Grumble grumble. I'm really sorry to hear your family aren't people you can connect with on matter of truth. I have a father who is so willing to inflict conclusions upon me, but will fly off the handle if you even suggest there are other possibilities and/or the conclusions should be put to the test. Chicago probably isn't the best place to talk about the truth these days. I wonder what that city/state will be like when Obama gets around to bucking the two term limit and just becomes Caesar 2.0
