Hi John,

Are you the same John from the old days? I like to check in on you occasionally. It used to be once every six months, but I realise this is probably the first time in six years. I remember when we spent every night talking.

Anyway John, I hope you're well. I have fond memories of that book about not doing drugs, and of course Pepsi.

Forever yours,
-John.

The globalists have absolutely covered all the bases.

Americans say the answer to tyranny is term limits, but term limits are useless when the elections are rigged.

Americans think the USA would be a free country if there were no electronic voting machines, but Canada doesn't have electronic voting machines and Canada is still a police state.

Americans say mandatory voting means freedom, but Australia has mandatory voting and is also a police state.

A Constitutional Convention won't work because if the elites don't follow the Bill of Rights now then why would the ruling powers obey a new Constitution?

The only realistic options Americans have today is to drop out, move to a small town, and buy guns, ammo, gold, and food and wait for everything to collapse.

Hi John,

OP John here - I'm back again. My wife and three year old daughter are both asleep and I thought I'd have a fun look online before going to bed myself.

I was mildly surprised to see that this thread is still here. I always get a small smile when I see that 7chan still exists. I remember making it, though would have guessed it was closer to one year ago than three.

I don't think anything major has changed in my life since creating this thread. I am just getting older. I try to eat well and exercise. My life is objectively better in every way than it used to be, but I still feel bittersweet about staying up all night refreshing image boards.

Do you miss the old web, John? The Internet feels so small these days and with all the creativity sucked out of it.

Take care of yourself, John.

Yours, always and ever,
John.

Hi John. I'm a different John, which I think is for the best.

I am glad to hear your life is good John and that you made something of it with a partner and kids. Maybe I'll join you there someday.

Dear John,

How are you? It has been some time since I last ventured onto this board to post I think. I say I think, I can never be certain when it was that I last visited. I looked for my old post but didn't find it. I believe I last posted some time in either 2025 or 2024. It feels so strange to type that. The 18 years that I have been visiting this place for seem surreal to me, as if such a thing should never be capable of spanning such a time period. I feel like an old raver leaving a rave to discover its the late 2000s. At least I assume this is what they felt like.

Anyway; I notice many of our friends on this board seem to have strange posting manners. That is what tipped me off to how long it had been, as I do not recognise any of these posts or the kind of phrasing they would use. I hope I am not being too harsh here, but I wish the new Johns would show a little courtesy to us older folk.

What originally brought me here however I suspect is to echo some of the feelings I have seen the other Johns post. Lately I find myself imagining that the whole world is grey. Perhaps this is some malady that I am experiencing, but I am inclined to think it is something shared. I don't want to complain to you at length about how I am feeling or its cause, but I would like to express minor frustration and sadness. Due to the medications that I am on, I will be dealing with my emotions with a glass of tap water instead of the usual gin.

Sincerely,
John.

Hi John. I've been visiting this silly little board since 2009 myself, so just around 17 years. I imagine we are roughly the same age.

I know what you mean about the greyness, John. I was experiencing that too. I suspect it comes from the monotony of life. The thing I've learned though is life does not have to be monotonous. The happiest people I know are constantly doing new things and filling their schedule with activities.

For a long time I felt like I was watching life pass me by, like I was standing behind a glass wall, separated from real life. I've only recently started stepping beyond that wall and actually interacting with life.

Life is really what you make of it, I'm learning.

Libertarians must be obsessed about liberty now.

Talk to people everywhere. Pass out flyers. Print out business cards. Make a website. Start a newspaper. Rent a billboard. Make songs and movies about freedom.

You might be the last one defending freedom, but you must live with your conscience.

John,

I was slightly annoyed when I heard that element 113 on the periodic table of elements was almost called Japonium and they instead called it Nihonium. While I understand the reasoning, we almost had a "J" on the periodic table until some people decided otherwise, and that's what annoyed me. Maybe one day we will get a J or a Q; We were very close to a J.
I circled the element in question and was careful not to block out any other data for other elements in case anybody wanted to look at a version of the periodic table of elements with Nh circled. Thanks for your attention.

Best wishes,

-John

Dear John,

Nothing really seems to continue being interesting of late. It appears life has lost its thrill, and that everything in it of magnitude is much smaller than at first glance. So, is this the way that life is supposed to be? Perhaps you feel the same way.

Anytime,

John

Too many obnoxiously groveling platitudes talking about how great God is and the excessive personalization of God.
Most praise and worship people I think they lack hobbies and resolve in life. That’s why they turn to religion.

>There are very few things in life which are as interesting as the idea of them. I guess you could say most of life is psychosomatic

This is why I say idealism is more dangerous than materialism.
Materialism is motivated by the IDEA of luxury items, not the luxury items themselves.
It’s why romance is more tricky than lust
Lust is more consistent and flexible in its appreciation. Romance on the other hand is always trying to find “The One”, never appreciating the current partner as they are, always comparing them to previous ones.

This. Traveling is often morally imposed onto people as way to “expand their mind”, and yet the images we see on TV of colorful robes and cute trad women is actually just modern-clothes folk rushing to and fro about work and school muttering curses under their breath at you because you’re just another tourist.

I especially hate how schools often preach about diversity and force kids whom are neurodivergent or ethnically foreign into participating in group activities when theyre not comfortable.

Adults often talk about how kids need new experiences but most of these new experiences are just cliche kinesthetic activities
Real novel experiences are barred

>but happiness seems to require some sort of meaning/purpose on top of thay, combined with positive social relationships

NO it does not

Some people get to have that kind of life, cool
Some people put themselves (and others) through hell to get something like that, then bitch about people who don't "try" Not cool

These days I know I'm not that clever, yet now I'm a lot older the people who I thought were clever are not really
A lot of people I meet IRL interlect snobs, always show themselves up

I just nod, let live their best smug life
I see little point in pointing out anything to them
It's a waste of my time, because they are cleverer than and they know it
All most all of these smug people, won't help someone like me if they could
So Simple pleasures that make you happy with out have to rape your own soul to fit in

John,

I find myself growing more and more disillusioned with my homeland. I truly am optimistic that things will improve for the common people eventually, but I think that it will happen *much* later than my own life, and that for now we're headed toward a truly miserable period of history.

I've been pondering what I should do about it. The debate I've had in my head has ultimately come down to a question of "fight or flight." After a lot of thinking, I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that I have to stay here and do my best to make a positive change from within the country, even if that means having a much more difficult life in the long run. I'm a professional artist and musician--it may be some lofty sense of pride or honor, but I feel like I'd be betraying the professions' thousands of years of history if I just ran off to somewhere quieter or safer instead of doubling down where civil unrest actually resides. Times like these are the entire reason we exist in the first place, after all. The people here are mentally sick right now, and they're in more dire need of art and abstract/critical thinking than anyone else on the planet.

The realization that I feel so strongly about staying, working and possibly one day *fighting* in this country has been difficult to digest, the past couple weeks. I feel energized and depressed about it, at the same time.

I figured I'd write you about these preliminary thoughts I've been having, and maybe write again later when I've figured a few more things out for myself. I'm curious also, what does resistance / revolution mean to you, where you live? Does your country have a similar kind of strife going on, or are things quieter for you? Write me back, and either way I'll send another letter in a while.

Best,
John

Some told me later that it really belonged on /civ and that the OP knew better. This is how totally uninteresting be awake is now.

When I was there no one talked about Trump, Ukraine, trans rights. In fact there were no normal old pride flags. There was a few gay couples and no one seemed to care, certainly no one was nasty to them. There no charity shops, just second hand shops. It was lovely. To get away from retard first world virtue signaling problems. Every was polite and kind. I left/drop my phone both times some came up to me and smiled and gave it back to me.
Worse places to be, that's for sure.
