I'm here to learn and to inform; learning is the easy part, informing is not so easy (as you can imagine).
Primarily, I come here to find uncensored information about what is being done to us by TPTB and, if possible, what we can do about it. I do find lots of information about the first, but not much valuable information about the second. Not that Substack authors are responsible for finding solutions to our dilemma. But if we can't find it here, where else can we look?

There’s lots of good people here with great insights. Both informative and entertaining. And few trolls so usually pretty fun to comment and engage. I started with a paid subscription to Dr Malone to support his endeavor. For some reason I never get his posts though.

I chose "other" because I am here to learn but also to use the platform to rant about what I see going on in the world from my perspective. So far I've been fortunate to have found *most* people here to be reasonable, sane, and willing to hash things out without being "triggered".
I quit Facebook, Gettr, Rumble, and everything else as I was wasting my time. I probably will quit stack as well for the same reason. Nobody wants to learn, to actually do anything for themselves, they simply want to be entertained. You are lousy at that part.
Hey Rick. I've learned a lot here and from your posts as well. In my opinion, sometimes learning doesn't mean that a person necessarily changes their mind, but realizes why they believe what they do and can confidently stand on their principles regardless of what others think. I hope you don't quit Substack. We need your contribution just as much as the next person. And even though we may sometimes feel like we are "preaching to the choir" or talking to a wall, we may never know about that one person whose perspective was changed or enhanced by something we wrote. I appreciate you and Rich and all the others who have opened my eyes to subjects I would have never been exposed to had it not been for their willingness to take the time to post it here.
It hard but understand the energy required to operate this hierarchy may not be available here soon enough. The end of global trade idea. Its here now, the question is can those who set policy (the global elite, those bastards that addicted humanity to it to siphon the financial surplus) fire it back up. If not, there won't be a stack either. The waste of time is not in seeming participation with comments and such, I do my chare of commenting, participating on other stacks, but that I ought to be building my resources up so I can make it through the coming bottleneck. Its past time to get serious. Plenty of people out there using flowery language that inspired lots of thought, I won't join them, instead I'll hit with a baseball bat of language. I'm not endeared by those seeking happy brains - let those types eat Klaus' bugs.
I did one on Twitter in about 2019 for Auckland academics. Along the lines of 'were you pressurized to fall into line on this' and I both got quite a lot of yes answers as well as some commentary on what exactly had happened.
Honestly, I come to the sub stacks to feel less alone in this horrific new normal that’s is the twilight zone on steroids….
I might be a bot gone astray from medium.com.

I am interesting in what is going on in New Zealand, but I don't like the swearing. I know
many do not like the PM, but the 'c' word to describe a women is offensive.
Some of your insights are very interesting, but there are others where I have no idea what you are talking about.
Sometimes I have to be vague so as not to get into too much trouble.
Like saying that Plato completely invented Sparta will get the classicists offside for example. And we can't have that.

I followed the Twitter refugees.
Nearly everyone I was following on other platforms were censored and taken down. I followed them here.

Thanks for this comment now I know I can avoid your Substack. Good sell.
Well at least Rick does put forward a solution.
I should add that I am somewhat remiss in that at the moment.
But you know, distractions.
Focus on a bit of land, build up food production not wired to agribusiness, start now.
I'm not publishing for money, so no big deal (to me) if you don't want to save yourself from the suffering.
Well thanks Rick.
Best I could do.

How many of the middle categories do you expect, even if the readers are them.
Is it a bit like Elon - not enough real people.

Basically it was along the lines of your job or your support.
I don't expect everyone who works for the Govt/deep state actually likes their work. Some probably do. Like Macron. Mais c'est une plaisanterie.
