Having A Bit of A Moment Here (US Healthcare Woes and Luigi is my HERO)

[NightWatchman95]

Hey, I guess I should post this here sense I really have no were else to turn to for help.

Even though i should be happy now having Trump in office with him slicing and dicing all that government corruption and passing the savings onto us,
I can't help but feel a bit impatient and frustrated when an old wound of "US healthcare sucks ass and no one is doing enough to fix it" reared its head.

Yeah, with snow snorting Biden out of office it should grease the wheels of there being some actual shit getting done, but i admit, i still have my lingering doubts.

Healthcare is a mess, people being billed into bankruptcy, rationing meds, people not being able to get therapy because of a small outstanding Co-pay (me).
it all compounds and now I'm left wondering how do people live so complicity in such a cruel injustice under our noses? i just cant keep it to myself anymore.

Why there is not a more concerted movement or effort to push for reform as part of a grassroots healthcare rights movement is beyond me.

Is it apathy, cowardice, too many people pulling in too many directions, who knows. But i forgot to eat again and i feel like my anger is tearing me apart from the inside.

Please, can anyone, ANYONE at all offer any comfort or reassurance that its not as bad as the shit on social media makes it seem? how can i calm down without feeling
like i'm taking refuge in apathy myself?

Some help would be appreciated, because i feel no one in my real life feels equipped to handle the frustration of feeling so deeply neglected and ignored.

I dont want to feel like im just taking refuge in the occult as a cope at my seeming powerlessness.

Hi. Don't walk away from problems into magic, solve problems with magic. Of course, in a global sense, neither you nor I can influence a political trend with magic. But to do for yourself, for your own sake, quite well. Create rituals for your own good, to increase financial stability, to realize plans, to increase health. Politics and thoughts about it is a dirty egregore. All over the world it is so. Do not feed it to yourself. Create your own nice little egregore and grow it!) With respect

It's all a narrative of reality meant to control, exhaust, and disempower you. In a sense, you are under a magic spell. From the intensity and confidence of your post, the Koolaid is working wonders on your psyche. The dichotomy of the political system is made to seperate the population and pit it against itself to allow the movers to do what they want amidst the chaos of the never ending monsoon of incoherent conflict. You feel no one can affect meaningful change because we have given all our power to "elected officials" that accept huge amounts of money from business giants. We don't make change happen, we vote and hope for the best, maybe occasionally walk around together chanting and holding signs, it's pathetic. Everyone lies, I'm sure even you have lied, why would you believe a single politician to be honest?

You buy into stories of people you've never met because you're bombarded by "facts" about them with consistency and confidence, but none of it is true, it's an insultingly simple black & white reduction of reality that infantalizes anyone who buys into it and systematically ruins a person's ability to hold a socratic dialogue; it rots your brain and devolves you into a reactive, emotional, agressive caveman with satelite TV. Everything that actually happens, you will never know about, you'll only ever know the story's interpretation of the end results, the "story" that comes from what actually happened, shaped by the storyteller's agenda & warped perspective. All actual happenings in politics are backroom deals, masked motives, and so personal we could never reasonably guess what's going on.

Rest assured, things are much worse than they appear, and this state of helpless mental distress you are in is exactly what The Powers That Be want. Social Media has been weaponized, you should stay off of it for the sake of your individuality, lest you fall in with the Hoards of Set.

Unplug. Spend some time in nature. Ground yourself. The calmer you are, the better you can control your own environment.

Medical error is the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA. That means your doctor is one of the most dangerous people in your life.

Don't let them tell you that you have some special problem they can fix. Upwards of ninety percent of all modern health issues come down to diet and exexercise. If a person has an issue these things can't fix, it's likely that they already dropped the ball on diet and exercise and now have to deal with the consequences.

Disease becomes a badge of honor, a sign that an expert recognized you as special. People feed their diseases like pets. "I take this for my..." or "My ... makes me like this." As if that legitimizes the struggle.

I haven't seen a doctor in more than 30 years, neither any of my now-grown children. We are all in great health, have never gotten any vaccines, and have weathered many serious illnesses and injuries without "getting on meds" or other medical foolishness. If I run into a disease that requires ten prescriptions to overcome, I will just die with dignity and not be a cash cow for people who don't give the slightest care about me.

You too can forget those clowns and just live your life and be responsible for your own body. You don't need it to be affordable, you don't need access to more of it, just let it be the giant evil system of greed that it is while you ignore it and focus on your own health.

As Illusive Owl says. You are buying into the bullshit. Get off social media it's bullshit. It's all lies and opinions. Don't believe Trump's bullshit about corruption in the government. And he's not going to share anything with you. He's keeping it all for himself. Somewhere in your magical mind you are aware of that, that's why you're feeling confused. Society is very complex and run by people like you and me, and you and me sometimes make mistakes. shit happens. But whether the shit happens to you depends on whether you're accepting it or not. You can go and buy a new car and it breaks down the next day. It's not a conspiracy, sometimes things like that happen.

thank you for such a detailed thoughtful response. i knew i would be in good hands seeking out help from a seasoned occultist brother than whatever mainstream CBT self help nonsense they want to sell to me for 80 a week. much appreciated for the metaphorical cold water to the face to snap me to my senses when i got into the cool aid again. knowing you thrive in spite of these issues gives me hope and thats the best gift you can give someone.

exactly this! we complain so much about X or Y. by there is truth to be said in most problems arising from within, even if people misinterpret that fact. personal responsibility and genuine community building is better than anything that the clowns in congress can crap out as a half assed guess. no ones perfect, and even a drop of media cool aid can send me into a tailspin despite my veteran occultist status.

Although i have my misgivings about MAGA. i can still sense it still embodies the public discontent alot of people are feeling and who feel left out of the conversation due to not "fitting the progressive stack", and thats something i respect about it, despite its flawed idea we need a charismatic leader to lead the charge when the real MAGA was always in us the whole time.
