So, I originally posted in the introductions forum, but it got canned for a reason. I would like to give an update on how things have been going.

I've decided not to spend as much time on here, and I've been getting more involved with what's going on in the real world.

I'm the same AutomateThis as the original moniker, and as AutomateThis1 I promise.

For those who are newer, here's a brief about me.

I'm an Anarchist, Voluntaryist activist, and dues paying Libertarian. I am involved in politics at the county and state levels and somewhat nationally. I have also began the process to become a Mason, but it's a bit lower on my priorities.

I'm currently working in private security which is cool, because I have been able to work at sites that have been at the center of conspiracy theories and have been abke to talk to people involved in state-backed investigations who have been all-to-willing to tell me what they have learned. I also get to meet several "critical theorists" and pass information to them that I have been given by officials.

I get to speak with politicians, Feds, and basically everyone else who gets involved through both my security career and my activist/political semi-career.

I am planning on leaving the security world behind, and going back to working with robotics and industrial manufacturing simply because the money is better. I've already started the process of getting my certs and licenses and such renewed which costs a pretty penny, but ain't too bad considering that after I start working in the field it'll be an easy recoup.

It's amazing what you can get done when you're not spending all day on social media or the internet.

So, if you really want to make a difference you may want to reconsider arguing all day on the internet and actually going out and getting involved.

If you have any questions on getting involved in your local communities or even getting involved at the state or national level feel free to ask. I can point ya in the right direction or just give ya some verbal support.

I did, and we spoke about it. I did say it got removed for a reason.

Social media allows people to feel like they are doing something when they aren't. Getting back into volunteering and activism is great. I love feeling like I'm actually taking an active role in helping out my community versus staring at my phone or sitting at a computer for hours on end not actually doing anything but aaying a bunch of words that aren't going to change anyone's mind.
