Real person here. I need your support. The robots are trying to take my job, but my work is WAY better! Thanks for being a human being too!

I acted on instinct. Some internal part of me screamed, “Enough!” and set me on a course of action to break me out of a malignant routine. Over the last few months, I’ve been weary. I’ve been manic. I’ve been writing at a breakneck pace. I’ve been conducting interviews for four or five hours a day. Everything is rush, rush, rush. There’s a sense of urgency and I can’t place the point of origin. But then, out of all the chaos came an impulse to, of all things, listen to the Beatles. I haven’t listened to the Beatles in years. I had a rough childhood, but listening to the Beatles provided some moments of calm. We had the greatest hits albums that come in the blue and red packaging. Those are easy enough to find, but as I reached for the mouse, my body recoiled. Some internal force sent me away from the streaming services. “Get a CD,” came some disembodied whisper. I’ve listened to that voice before. I found a CD, sent off payment, and the next day it arrived. I went out to the backyard with my CD player and built a fire. I stared at the flames as the music played. Little by little, the displaced, frantic, urgency began to fade. It felt odd to stare at a fire. In many ways, fire seems like staring at a screen. It flickers. It erupts. It dances. As I listened to the Beatles, I found myself remembering what reality felt like. I’d chosen the music. It wasn’t the radio. It had been me. I’d built the fire. I built it with my own hands. It was real. It could burn me. I’d made it. It had been me. An hour later, I emerged a different person. I had a sense of peace that I hadn’t experienced for years. I decided to start pulling back. I cancelled many of my regular appointments. The next day, I got my paddleboard out of storage and went onto the river. In the course of twenty-four hours, I reclaimed two hours of my time, and I haven’t felt this good in years. This is a routine I’ve been following for the last two weeks. It’s a form of mental detox. Your telephone has a feature that lets you know your screen time every week. I’ve been distressed to see my screen time rising. I hadn’t noticed that I’d been using my phone more, yet every week I gave the algorithms a few more minutes. Creep, creep, creep. Every second you spend in that zombie state with your thumb upon the screen, you’re turning over your ability to choose.

The mechanism is similar to reading. Your eyes go from left to right and then down the page. You think, “I’m not engaging, I’m skimming, I won’t provide my full attention until I get to something good.” That’s self-deceit. That’s how they get you. You see, the awful men that we all hate, control everything. These are the toxic males whose skin is pale from constantly staring at the light of a computer screen. They don’t go out on the river. They don’t paddle. They don’t exercise. The closest they come is playing video games. They hate the real world. They hate fire except for leveraging its power to make the world burn. Whenever you scroll, you hand them the keys to your mind. They burrow in and recklessly labor to make you like them. You see, they control everything. No matter how long you scroll, no matter how many things you flick away with your thumb, the house always wins. They’ll never show you anything you want to see. They only provide you with trash that benefits them. The other day I reflected on all the old movies I’d like to see which have somehow gone away. They aren’t on any streaming services. I wanted to watch “The Fisher King” with my kids. Where is it? Where’s “JFK”? Where’s “The Last Valley”? Why are so many old films unavailable? Do these movies have messages that the tech bros don’t want us to see? Are they waiting for all the old people who remember to quietly fade away? People like me? I don’t want to scroll through titles. I want a spreadsheet. Let me know the films and the names and the dates. I want a feed I can curate. We aren’t given those choices. The tech bros know that if they gave us choice they would surrender control. Control, control, control. That’s what compelled me to seek outdated technology and sit in the yard to force myself to contemplate tangible reality. They control us through the screens, but we can take back control by turning them off. We are living through an era of recalibration. Social media has poisoned us. It’s a new thing and we didn’t recognize the danger. It’s has leveraged our senses and turned them against us. I grew up in the 70s. Even then we were assailed by loud and obnoxious advertisements on radio and TV. At first, you’re overwhelmed. You feel compelled to rush out and buy every little thing. You need the new toy, the new appliance, the new fashion, the new engagement ring. But at some point, your mind steps in and grabs control of the reigns. Our flight response pays attention to the smashes and the bangs, but when your nervous system determines that there is no risk, the internal volume gets turned down. Today, we can listen to advertisements without even hearing them. They’ve lost their power. They’re more suggestions than commands. We don’t rush to make those purchases. But scrolling is different. It compels us in a way we don’t understand. When you can’t find the movie you want by scrolling, you eventually settle on something the algorithm recommends. Eventually, you stop looking yourself. You just take what they give. Your mind is no longer your own. I didn’t recognize this consciously, but my body did. I purchased a CD. I went outside. I stared into the burning embers. For a long while, some part of me screamed, “Get your phone! Get your phone! This is boring! Think of all the things you’re missing!” But I stayed. And the annoying voice faded away. I don’t want the stinky toxic male tech bros deciding what I believe. I want to go out on the lake. I want to be strong. I want to feel the sun on my skin. I want to decide what I think. Stop scrolling. Stop giving them your mind. They don’t care about you. They don’t care about what you want. Make deliberate choices, and stop supporting toxic mechanisms that deprive you of yourself. Tell your kids. Tell everyone. Just say “No” to to the toxic doom scroll. You’re giving up more than you know.

Why You Just Have to Accept That Your Narcissistic Parent Is Never Going to Love You Back

If these options are too much, please DM me. I’d love to have you as a supporter! Thanks for your support: 30% off [https://walterrhein.substack.com/b66e5c2e] 💙 40% off [https://walterrhein.substack.com/01f1b0e8] 💙 50% off [https://walterrhein.substack.com/0d3e6643] 💙 60% off [https://walterrhein.substack.com/6a8f4788] My father was the first to invoke the word “hate” when it came to describing our relationship. My girlfriend and I were in the car with him. He said something awful. I responded. He went into a typical, petulant, narcissistic huff and grumbled, “Great, now you hate me too.” Even in the heat of the moment, I thought it odd that he’d pick that word. It has taken me thirty years to recognize his choice was a consequence of the feelings he harbored for me. With narcissists, every accusation is a confession. We know that already, but that phrase has relevance on levels we haven’t yet given ourselves permission to explore. Looking back, I recognize that his hate began about the time I turned thirteen. As I grew into my power, he grew into his hate. Perhaps if I’d stayed a soft little boy all my life, we could have maintained a state of perpetual indifference. He could have gone on with his forgetting of my birthdays, and even my name. I could have gone on pretending I didn’t need recognition or affection from anybody. It was a dynamic of survival and I just barely survived. One of the main skills you learn from growing up with a narcissist is self-actualization. It’s not taught to you. You figure it out as you thrash around in the storm looking for a lifeline. But the self-actualization you learn under those circumstances is tainted. It consists of an understanding that expectations lead to disappointment. If you stop yourself from hoping, you can never be disappointed. If you stop yourself from feeling, you can never be hurt. You survive, but you die anyway. Really all you teach yourself is to not trust anyone. I know my dad was bullied terribly as a child. I pity him as a child. As an adult, he has a responsibility to process and overcome his pain. The trauma of the parent should never be seen as the child’s responsibility to fix. His job was to love me. He abdicated that duty. It took me a long time to overcome the liabilities of my indoctrinated worldview. I carried traces of that stunted emotional development into my marriage. My wife taught me that I could trust her. We learned to celebrate each other. When you teach yourself not to have expectations, you are cut off from recognizing the expectations of others. It’s a self-imposed blind spot that becomes a self-inflicted wound. That attitude sabotages any chance of ever cultivating any sincere and enduring affection. Today, I pay attention to my wife’s expectations and I aspire to meet them. Sometimes I fail, but I try. We forgive each other. We do better. We don’t fester in eternal frustration. No expectations, no disappointment, is no way to live. My dad could tolerate me when I was small and weak, but he started to get nervous as I grew. He was careful to keep me broken down. He emphasized my weaknesses and never celebrated my achievements. He humiliated me in public every time it seemed I might be feeling good about myself. I accepted his behavior as that of a normal, loving parent. I didn’t realize until much later that his behavior was an example of hate. Even now, he wouldn’t admit that’s what he felt. If i confronted him he’d likely go into a rage. Either that, or he’d go into his typical, petulant, narcissistic huff. “You’re so ungrateful,” he’d say. “Everything was fine until you went insane.” The tragedy of my father’s life is that it’s unexamined. At no point did he ever reflect on his behaviors and recognize how he pushed away anyone who truly cared. Their affection made him uncomfortable because he’d trained himself to think it impossible. He taught himself to hate anyone who loved him, and he made us suffer for it. “It’s not me that’s cruel, it’s the world,” he’d claim. “Why am I to blame? Why do you hate me? I’m just beating you to make you tougher so you can survive? Don’t you see? Everything good in your life is because of me!” He drove friends and loved ones away and had the nerve to feel grievance rather than remorse. The question he should have asked is whether or not his cruelty was truly necessary? Could he not have fortified those around him by another means? Perhaps a means that offered less brutality? “We’ve always done it this way? Look at me! That’s the way my parents raised me and I turned out okay!” Alone and angry and aggrieved is not okay. I think in my case I broke the cycle through a combination of fear and resentment. I grew stronger than he is. I earned better grades. I had beautiful girlfriends. I was better looking, funnier, more popular. I exceeded him in every way and he hated me for it. I now have children of my own. They, too, are better than me in every way possible. Their mother is from Peru and we live in Northern Wisconsin. They possess a beauty that renders people awkward and stunned. My children are better athletes than me. They’re smarter. They engage in astonishing flights of creativity. In every way possible they’ve exceeded me. I do not resent them for it. In fact, nothing could bring me more joy. I celebrate their power every day. I do my best to cultivate it. I see them on a trajectory that will lead to heights I could have never imagined. I’ve never once felt any resentment for them over their good fortune. I’m only relieved that they didn’t have to endure the same torments the universe had in store for me. The difference between me and my father is that I don’t hate my children. I don’t even hate my father. But he hates me. He’s always hated me, even if he’s never been able to admit it to himself. As I became stronger, he did his best to break me down. Again, I didn’t realize I was in a life or death struggle with an enemy. I thought this was simply the way growing up had to be. I tried to abide by the unspoken rules of our relationship, even though they didn’t make sense to me. My father’s rules were contradictory. He became mad if I got good grades and mad if I didn’t. I tried and tried but he couldn’t be pleased. I see now that confusion was his strategy. He wanted to overwhelm me into complacency. Cultivating impostor syndrome, accusations of moral depravity, calling me a deadbeat, all of this was leveraged to make me voluntarily abdicate my autonomy. “Why even try when you’ll never be as good as me?” Self-doubt and self-destruction are the two primary weapons of an authoritarian. They know they lose their power when challenged. When they recognize a potential enemy is growing in strength, they commit to a strategy of sabotage. In my early twenties, I was a broken person. I dropped out of college because of crippling anxiety. I couldn’t speak to my fellow classmates. Whenever I opened my mouth, I had to prepare for humiliation. I’d learned that humiliation was how people communicated with each other. My conscious mind had convinced itself that’s how they shared affection. But my second mind, my intuitive mind, knew better. It took me thirty years to consciously recognize that my father hated me, but some part knew right away. I began to distance myself from him. The longer the absences went, the more I was able to heal. I started running marathons and doing cross-country ski races. I stacked successes. I became more powerful. I achieved things impervious to the malicious robbery of his spiteful comments. Crossing the finish line of a thirty mile ski race in subfreezing conditions, I felt at peace. The volume was turned down. His influence was on the wane. I began to recognize I didn’t need him. Abusive people try to make you dependent. They ruin your self-esteem by claiming you’re worthless. Then they try to present themselves as the only relationship that you will ever need. “You aren’t smart enough to support yourself. You need me. Get over it. You should be more grateful.” How many times have I heard him say, “You should be more grateful?” Grateful for what? Your hate? The hardest part of getting away is coming upon a new challenge. Life is hard under the best of circumstances. You face obstacle after obstacle. You can get away from an abuser, things can be going fine, and then something hits that will drive you back to them. Because they hate you, they’ll leverage the moment for all its worth. “Only I can fix this problem. You see? You see? You need me. You can never escape me. Stop pretending that you’re something you’re not.” They are out there counting on the trauma bond to bring you back. To sever that, you must find a new support community. You must ask for help from the people he’s made you think will never offer any. That’s the last challenge you have to overcome before you’re finally free. That’s the last bit of grooming you have to expel. Understand your narcissistic abuser hates you. Never give them the benefit of the doubt. Any time they appear to be doing something kind, it’s only so that they can abuse you further. My father was the first person to invoke the word “hate” to describe our relationship. He accused me of having the feelings he harbored. It confused me when he used that word. I hadn’t realized then that he’d accidentally told the truth about himself. I had a long way to go to free myself of his influence. The tragedy in all this is that, at any point, he could have simply put his hate away. He could have made the choice to celebrate my victories rather than view them as a mirror for his shame. He could have resolved to become an ally rather than an adversary. He pressured me to choose between loving myself and loving him. He framed self-love as selfish. My wife taught me different. For decades, I tried to make myself see the world from his perspective, but in the end I chose myself, I chose my wife, I chose my kids. My narcissistic father hates me, but I still love him. It’s such a shame to consider all he was given that went to waste. Even now he refuses to recognize the truth, but his, not mine, was the life that became a sacrifice to hate.

The Mechanism of Estrangement in Both Families and the Nation

Hello everyone! I really appreciated this conversation with Natasha K. [https://substack.com/profile/177254780-natasha-k] and A. Eevie Bateman [https://substack.com/profile/443649430-a-eevie-bateman]. I keep commenting on how the cruelty of our narcissistic Republican regime mirrors the cruelty of abusive relationships. The silver lining is that those of us who have endured abuse can use our knowledge to help educate others. The key piece of advice is this: trust your instincts! Your body knows when you’re being mistreated before your mind does. YOU DESERVE BETTER! I also have to say that I feel so privileged that these two brilliant women would allow me to have this conversation with them. Make sure to follow them here: Thank you Margaret Williams, MS, ACC [https://substack.com/profile/12044824-margaret-williams-ms-acc], Mandy Ohman [https://substack.com/profile/183065704-mandy-ohman], Kyra Faison-Gardner [https://substack.com/profile/242026776-kyra-faison-gardner], Lynette [https://substack.com/profile/284294355-lynette], Acejonesz [https://substack.com/profile/287704978-acejonesz], and many others for tuning into my live video with Natasha K.

The F*****g Republicans Will Take All Our Rights Eventually—Including Gun Rights

Please support me if you can! Thanks for your support: 30% off [https://walterrhein.substack.com/b66e5c2e] 💙 40% off [https://walterrhein.substack.com/01f1b0e8] 💙 50% off [https://walterrhein.substack.com/0d3e6643] 💙 60% off [https://walterrhein.substack.com/6a8f4788] It’s time to be clear about something. The Republicans are robbing us. They’re lying to us. They’re cheating us. They’re abusing us. They’re a bunch of fakers, abusers, con artists and thieves. They’re rude. They’re disrespectful. They’re deceitful. They don’t want us to have water to drink, food to eat, air to breathe, free time to play, or any safe spaces to take our children. They say all these things openly. Watch them laugh about the idea of safe spaces. “I would like a safe space where I don’t have to worry about my kids getting raped.” “Ha!” says every identical Republican representative. “He said safe space! He said safe space! Na-nana-naa-nah! What are you some kind of woke dweeb! Are you woke enough yet? You gonna cry now? You gonna cry? What’s the matter with you, are you hungry? Want to eat something? Well get a job!” That’s honestly how Republicans talk. Are you kidding me? These are the most powerful people in the world and they dither like a bunch of bullies on a rural bus route. They are deplorable. There is nothing about the way they conduct themselves in their personal or private lives that warrants the slightest amount of respect. They aren’t just bad role models, their presence is actively damaging to your children. Let’s start saying that, “I don’t want Republicans around my children.” For the last half a year, absolutely every single one of them has been complicit in covering up the Epstein files. Do you think I’m wrong? Do you want to hit me with some “not all” nonsense? Where are the leaks? Any one of them could have put country first and come forward with some incriminating documents. Even the ones that pushed for the transparency act haven’t taken the bold actions required to bring justice. That’s because they’re all a bunch of liars, cheaters, fakes, and grifters. Look around. They’re eroding all of our rights. They’re using the Constitution as toilet paper. This isn’t anything new. Don’t start with the “not all conservatives are MAGA BS.” They absolutely are. In fact, about half of the Democrats are MAGA too. That’s how entrenched the corruption is. Stop making excuses for them. Stop blaming progressives for the crimes of conservatives. Conservatives are responsible for all our pain. All of them. For my whole life, that’s fifty years, they’ve been trying to destroy social security, voting, education, and fair wages. They have literally not proposed one humanitarian idea. They raise the debt. They start illegal wars. They create secret police to abduct innocent people. It’s conservatives. It’s Republicans. It’s the right. Start naming the architect of all your suffering. They’ve already taken bodily autonomy of women. They’ve taken privacy. They’re working on free speech and voting. It’s only a matter of time until they get to gun rights. Stop making excuses for them. Stop being silent. Stop behaving as a passive enabler of your own oppression. Conservatives are killing us. They want to replace us all with AI and automation. They’re coming for you. They’re coming for your kids. They’re coming for everything you hold dear. Wake up people. Shake off the socially indoctrinated conditioning that compels you to look the other way. Don’t let conservatives have platforms. Don’t let conservatives control the news. Don’t let conservatives manipulate algorithms to promote their hate content. Don’t allow conservatives to poison your children by injecting their toxic lies directly into the brain. Above all don’t vote for them! They lie. They destroy our nation. They destroy the environment. If all you care about is gun rights, know that they’ll be coming for those too. Naturally they will. They can’t complete their authoritarian takeover without your guns. If you care about decency at all, you must oppose conservatives. Look at what’s happening. They aren’t going to stop until they’ve taken everything.

This Is The Year of Progressive Candidates--But Only If We Make it So

I had this wonderful talk with Robert Danna [https://substack.com/profile/198756983-robert-danna] and Laci Loew [https://substack.com/profile/164739658-laci-loew] last week, but I’ve been doing so many candidate interviews I’ve only been able to post it now. This conversation was the start of my idea to get more Substack creators to interview progressive candidates. We are building a movement, and Robert and Laci will be HUGE assets in this effort. Bob’s been doing a series of important articles to outline our purpose, such as this one: Laci always has brilliant suggestions for new initiatives we can try. I appreciate these “brain surge” sessions where I talk to these two. As always, I feel humbled that such amazing people want to spend some time with me. But then I remember the sorry state of our media that deliberately suppresses rational perspectives because that’s how they suppress our society. If we educated the public, we’d have an educated public and that would be the end of oligarch power. I hope you enjoy this talk. You can find Robert here: You can find Laci here: Thank you Natasha K.
