Why I Decided to Do Political Blogging and Journalism as a Career

I just Can't Watch how the World Goes Down the Drain and Do Nothing

I made this decision not because I love politics so much mind you (I don't think anyone does in truth) or that I particularly enjoy it (albeit I have a Master’s degree in Political Science). If we are speaking of what I enjoy, I'd rather be writing/reading fantasy stuff about unicorns and dragons, playing card and board games, going to music gigs and theater, and spending a lot of time on nature. But alas, one just CAN'T do ANY OF THAT anymore without politics affecting them.

Politics affects everything now - one's career, hobbies, friend and family relationships, everything. If you have wrong political views, you would face problems in your career, hobbies and relationships. But when COVID plandemic came, it became even worse. One was not free to travel and even to go to work, music gig or bar any longer. Later on, one was able to do that but only if one injected oneself with some dubious and not really efficient drug (which was later proved to be even harmful) which they for some reason called the 'vaccine' even if it was not qualified for the classic medical definition of the vaccine (e.g., did NOT provide the immunity to the virus). So, politics prevented you from going many places which you used to go freely before. In some countries, like Austria, you might have been even fined or jailed for not obeying the system and not injecting yourself with this dubious pseudo-vaccine.

Now, it became only worse. Now, you need to wave Ukrainian flags and to profess hate Russia and all the Russians (or if you're Russian yourself, renounce your nationality and your countrymen), and agree to self-destructive sanctions against above mentioned Russia which threaten to collapse your own economy and to deprive you from your livelihood for good. Or, worse, you need to wave Palestinian flags and pledge your support to actual genocidal Islamic terrorists against the only Jewish state in the world, hence repeating Hitler’s Nazi path directly. So there's still no escape from politics, it becomes only worse with time.

All of this shit affected me personally. I was unable to do academic career due to my views. I wanted to do a PhD on homosexuality and religion, but alas, if you expose homophobia of Christianity, everything is alright, but if you just dare to touch upon the subject of extreme homophobia of Islam in your paper, you're all of a sudden 'bigot, racist and Islamophobic hater'. I dared, and reaction from so-called 'academic community' was not favorable. So I gave it up - even if I was able to find some adequate uni for myself, to do an objective scientific research in a highly ideologically biased academic community which suppresses ideologically inconvenient facts and data is just not worth it.

Later politics began to affect my personal relationships. I was arguing with my former classmates and friends - or, to be more precise, was attacked by them for daring to have different, unpopular views on such political issues as Islamic immigration, BLM, trans activism, climate hysteria, later COVID scamdemic...Not that I was imposing my views on them, I just openly stated what I believed to be right, very mildly phrased, and they didn't like it and tried to convince me that I'm wrong and to impose their views upon me which I didn't like. But ofc, one isn't allowed to disagree with the system nowadays.

The irony of it is that I'm actually a gay man and an immigrant, so I kinda should belong to the vulnerable minority group of the Western Leftist political framework which needs to be protected, not harassed? But alas, I had a wrong skin color, and I had immigrated from a wrong country (which is especially a BIG issue in the West now)...But the main problem was my mindset - I didn't want to think as the system wanted me to think, I had my own inconvenient opinions instead. So that I was not forgiven.

Later it became even worse when COVID scamdemic came. I was unable to visit my family in Russia due to COVID restrictions and wasn't able to attend my social hobbies like bridge and board games due to lockdowns. Later I had to inject myself with a dubious drug (which might have been dangerous for me even due to my autoimmune diseases) in order to be allowed to go anywhere again, they told me (which I refused to do, and was absolutely correct in doing so!). So if you're not obeying the system, you're fucked.

And now ofc this Ukrainian war hit me as a Russian directly. All this toxic CancelRussia campaign, strong anti-Russian sentiment and hysteria which became prominent in the West now - all of it started to affect me personally in bad ways too because I don't want to renounce my nationality, just as I didn't want to renounce my skin color when BLM was trending. I'm not easily induced to feel guilt for something I was born with overall, you know? People in Russia tried to make me feel guilty for my gay sexuality, and they failed miserably. So Western Woketards who try to make me feel guilty for my skin color and for my nationality would fail even more miserably.

So you see, it's not me who is obsessed with politics, it's just politics which follows me everywhere and which prevents me from living a normal life. Ofc if you're an obedient sheep who is ready to inject any dubious drugs inside your body up to ten times per year, or to sit home for months without going anywhere if your government doesn't let you, then it would be fine for you. If you don't have any your own opinions and just pick up popular opinions from your media and social circles without much thinking, then it should be fine for you too.

I can't live like that. I value my freedom and my basic human rights - and so the freedom and basic human rights of everyone else - above everything. I wouldn't be forced to inject certain dubious drugs into my body or to stay home for months. I wouldn't be silenced and censored when I strongly believe in something and wanna share it with the world. I'm a FREE man who likes to be authentic and to live his inner truth, not be an obedient sheep and cog in the wheel of the system, or a bot dumbly copypasting other bots in a bot society. So that's why I had to do politics.

But not only for this reason though. I also noticed - and many people told me - that I have some shrewd political insights and some understanding of what's going on at least. I’m kinda street smart. So I'm capable of at least some political analysis and of sharing it with the world for other people to think and to analyze. Also - especially during COVID vaccine fascism - I learned that I could encourage other people to speak out and to resist the system pressure.

That was precious for me to know - that I can encourage and inspire people to speak their inner truth, to resist, to fight and to be free as well. And if I could inspire and encourage my friends (or provoke some thoughts at least among my friends who are disagreeing with me), then maybe I could also inspire and encourage larger groups of people as well? So that's why I decided to do political blogging and journalism and started my Substack.
