Thanks to everyone who has commented so far. I will be out of pocket for most of the day, plus I have to think about some of the comments in order to give them the thoughtful response they deserve, so I'm not ignoring anyone. I will reply. Thanks again.

Good post, blackpiller here. As a preface, the reason why Carl Jung originally split from his mentor and friend Freud was because Freud was all about analysis but no solutions; Jung correctly understood that diagnosis is insufficient and that offering people a new direction and hope is required.

There are different levels of response to your question:

1. For whatever reason, the elites currently require mass attention on the Current Thing. A Current Thing narrative fails when you stop feeding it and giving it energy. COVID failed when only 50% of people got the heart attack booster vs. 80% who got the original one. Failure to secure enough attention means that the elites have to use hard power to enforce whatever the objective was. By putting your attention on the Trump Current Thing you feed it, give it energy and power. There is some overlap between this and Ernst Junger's conception of the anarch, who operates in any environment but does not *believe* in whatever the current political or social climate is.

2. What I love about Jungian individuation is that my attention previously projected externally is now projected internally. I am paying attention to what my intuition is telling me and then I often do it, or at least in a modified fashion (checked against my intellect, feelings, and senses) - this is a process of listening and letting go, not of ego, and it is taking me in all sorts of strange directions. Having an inward focus like this inherently takes one out of the Current Thing because you don't have the energy to direct to it to feed it because one is focused on one's internal processes. This is something revolutionary, imo.

3. I think America is still way too optimistic to effectuate fundamentally meaningful change on a positive level, if it's even possible (given this world is controlled by the Demiurge, imo, or at least it's incentives line up that way). People are suffering compared to 2006 or whatever but from what I see it hasn't suffered anywhere *nearly enough* to grimly understand the nature of this reality. Many have redpilled but from that redpill they've been handed a fake populist to steer them further in directions they won't like.

4. In terms of doing something, trying to educate others about the structure of the world (with the Rothschild central bank owners at the top) is doing something, even if it's reach is small.

5. If you want to "do" something politically, go work for Thomas Massie or Rand Paul. They aren't going to change anything but at least they're not controlled shills.

What these things have in common is that it fills one with personal agency - you aren't waiting for a political savior to come save you. Things may get much worse in the world, it's true, but we can only narrow our vision to focus on what we can accomplish in our own sphere, based upon our own unique goals we are meant to fulfill here based upon our physiognomy and destiny. I don't think this is the response you were looking for - "What exact political changes would you propose to solve all our problems today???" - but it comes down to individual change and not group change, imo, starting with ourselves.
