I starting seeing the signs during Pedo in Chief’s first regime and by 2020 I built out my armory, I haven’t needed to buy anything since 2020 except re-upping some ammo as I cycle through my training stash. In 2023 I was going through my closet and saw the body armor and helmet, I shook my head and was like why tf do I have this. It felt alien, slightly paranoid and strange. Then in November of last year it hit me again, those awful feelings of distress and I remembered the emotional state I was in when I bought my armor in 2020. It was no longer alien and it’s been with me since then. It’s heartbreaking and scary and honestly it’s fucking exhausting. Keep your training sharp and your ammo boxes full, keep your head high and your eyes open. Be well comrades, good hunting.
