Don’t get fooled by simplicity. These techniques are really simple but are designed to help those who suffer from anxiety calm themselves down.

So they’re really powerful.

We can use them whenever we are stressed, when we are slipping into overthinking or daydreaming, and of course, when we are feeling anxious.

The 5–4–3–2–1 Grounding Technique

Start by looking around and naming five things you can see.

It could be people passing by, signs on walls, trees, and the sky. You know, whatever catches your eye. Observe these ordinary things as if you’ve never seen them before.

Next, touch four things near you — a phone, keys, clothes, or a plate.

Notice how it feels. Notice the weight.

Listen for three sounds. Your breathing. Voices in the distance. The hum of a room or birds outside.

Now, notice two smells — coffee, perfume, rain on concrete… paper or fabric, even the faint, sweet smell of toxic pollution.

Finally, focus on one taste — It could be something you’ve consumed like coffee, a meal, or a snack.

Why does it work?

When you force the brain to categorize all sorts of objects, it shifts the activity from the amygdala to the logical brain.

The 10-Second Breathing

When you notice yourself getting upset, Inhale slowly through your nose while counting to ten, then exhale just as slowly.

That’s it.

Repeat this process as often as needed till you feel better.

Why does it work?

When you get anxious, you're in a "fight or flight" mode. Your breathing becomes shallow, which sends the message that you are in physical danger.

But when you slowly inhale and exhale, it will stimulate the vagus nerve, which will command your heart rate to slow down.

Now, I’d recommend doing these exercises every day, especially when you’re calm.

That way, when you're upset, you'll be able to quickly do the exercises and feel better.

Seriozisht e kam, pse karteli i naftes nuk e rrit cmimin qe te marrin edhe me shume fitim.

Per shembull ta cojne nga 215 ne 230! Ose ta bejne fiks 250 sepse eshte numer i plote; Ngjan bukur.

Me doli nje video e Blendi Fevziut qe kishte ngele ne trafik ne Elbasan, ku ishte trafiku 1.3 Km i gjate.

Imagjino sa nafte kane shpenzu aty. Imagjino sa nafte shpenzojne cdo dite ne trafikun e Tiranes dhe te Durresit.

Por ngaqe transporti publik eshte sketerre, do perdorin makinen. Skane nga shkojne.

Do qurraviten tek JOQ, qe eshte nje faqe e qeverise - sherben si nje valvul shkarkimi - vec bejne terapi ne grup. Nderkohe rama me oligarket behen me te pasur se scrooge Mcduck.

Futi 5000 leke nafte, shaj me rob neper dhembe, dhe jeta vazhdon.

Ca do besh, do kthesh Tiranen permbys? Do sillesh si shpellar! Sic bejne qytetaret e Parisit, Athines, apo Washingtonit?

Jo mo plak. Ti je i civilizuar.

Thjesht paguaje dhe mos mendo.

Mos mendo se te dhemb koka.

Pra, me siguri Endrri Fuga duhet ta kete llogarit cmimin - se po kaloi ate kufi atehere Shqiptari mesatar del nga hipnoza.

Por sic duket kta nuk e rruajne per 215 leke litrin. Keshtu qe kufiri eshte me lart.

The smarter you are, the more you tend to overestimate how much the average person knows.

Hint: Very little.

I mean, things make a lot of sense in your head, but when you try to explain it to others, they'll just nod politely. But it’s clear to you that they aren’t getting a damn thing you’re saying.

Worse yet, smart people tend to have a nasty habit of becoming cynical and arrogant, which is an instant turn-off.

So here we will talk about being able to connect with anyone in any situation.

This is a rare skill that con men, social engineers, and politicians have mastered, but it's also possible for us to develop it.

The Subconscious Test

Every time you meet someone, their brain is instantly trying to answer the question:

“Are you one of us?”

If their instincts say no, they’ll pull away.

If it says yes, they’ll drop their guard and become more likely to have a conversation with you or help you.

Don’t believe me? Look at this classic experiment.

You have this guy who’s dressed badly, lying on the ground, and pleading for help.

He's on a busy street; you can see many people walking near him.

Strangely, it took over 20 minutes for someone to stop and help him.

In the second scenario, you have the same guy, in the same spot, but this time, he’s dressed as a businessman.

How did those bystanders react?

He didn't even have time to plead for help, because in less than six seconds, those bystanders turned into good Samaritans.

So people are more likely to trust you or help you when they feel that you're similar to them.

Now, to make it even clearer, people have 3 huge concerns, and as long as you address them, they will be more open to connecting with you.

Fear #1: Who is this person?

As we just said, before you say a word, they’re sizing you up.

Your parents told you to never judge a book by its cover, but they did, and we do, so it’s crucial that you take great care of your appearance and body language.

Dress well. Get a nice haircut. Go to the gym. Make sure that your clothes are squeaky clean.

When you approach them, make sure you don’t get too close too quickly.

Try to maintain relaxed eye contact. Don’t give that narrow, evaluative gaze.

And use a soft, disarming tone of voice.

These simple tricks are especially useful when you're approaching strangers on the street, at a bar, or in the waiting line, because that’s where people feel exposed. They feel vulnerable, so their guards are up.

So the way we alleviate this fear is simple: Don’t come off like a creep.

Fear #2 and #3: What does this person want and How long will this take?

The last thing we all want is getting stuck in a long, annoying conversation with a stranger.

That’s why when you are talking to strangers, you ALWAYS need to include a time constraint.

For example, "Hey, I just noticed you're reading that book. I've been meaning to check it out. Is it worth it?"

Then follow up with something about them:

"Interesting, what kind of books do you usually read?"

While you're talking, give them space, uncross your arms, and angle your body slightly like you’re about to leave.

This sends the message that the interaction won't take long.

The DISC Model

Since we will meet all sorts of people, we need a system that helps us quickly figure out their style and adapt to it.

If our appearance sends a subconscious message that we are part of their tribe, speaking in the same style as they do will reinforce the idea that we are just like them.

1. THE DOMINANT

These people maintain a confident body language and speak with certainty even when presenting new ideas.

They can quickly size up a situation and determine a course of action. That’s why you’ll often find them in managerial roles.

When you’re talking to them, and you go on and on with unnecessary details, they’ll probably be like, “Yeah, yeah, just get to the point.”

They might not be so direct out of politeness, but it’s easily noticeable on their face.

So if you want to connect with them, be direct and concise. And use phrases such as “Are you busy? Can I have a minute of your time? I have this idea that will be of great help to you. Do you have the time to listen to it?”

If you have this style, you must be careful because without realizing it, you might come across as intimidating or arrogant.

2. INFLUENCERS

They are full of excitement and life. They’re very comfortable around you and communicate as if they've known you for years.

You'll often find them in sales, marketing, teaching, public speaking, or entertainment.

To connect with them, let them talk freely and don’t judge them. I mean, you might find their expressiveness annoying or cringeworthy.

You know, I used to be a very reserved person myself, and I always struggled with these kinds of people.

Things started to change when I started working as a waiter after school.

The owner used to be a restaurant manager in Britain, so when he opened a bar here, he brought the same energy – a maniacal obsession with quick, quality service, coupled with extraversion towards customers.

This forced me to get out of my shell and start conversations with all sorts of customers.

Now, you don’t need to match the energy level of an influencer because it’s exhausting, but from time to time, be more expressive.

And when you’re discussing ideas, don’t get bogged down in the nitty-gritty details, but focus on the big picture.

If you have this style, then you risk appearing annoying or fake, so try to hold yourself back when you are speaking to people who are shy and reserved.

3. STEADY

Just like influencers, they are people-oriented, but they often work behind the scenes and prefer to support rather than to lead. They make you feel heard and cared for, which is why they often end up in roles like nurses, teachers, or counselors.

To connect with them, you need to listen attentively and show that you care about their feelings.

The downside of this style is that others may see you as passive, and your best ideas or suggestions might get overlooked.

That's why when you have to sell an idea, prime yourself by watching characters that are dominant or influencers. More on this later.

4. CONSCIENTIOUS

These people value precision and detail. Their body language is more reserved, and they prefer logic over hype.

You’ll often find them in research, engineering, accounting, or aviation - fields were utmost accuracy is critical.

To connect with them:

• Support your points with data and evidence.
• Avoid exaggeration or “salesy” language.
• Give them time to process before making decisions.

We all have a bit of each communication style in us.

But one style will always be more emphasized than the others.

Now you need to understand your default style so you can get a sense of how you are being perceived.

If you're Dominant and talking to someone Conscientious, you might feel frustrated that they’re moving too slowly. Meanwhile, they’ll be annoyed that you're rushing and possibly sacrificing accuracy or quality.

If you're an Influencer and speaking with a Steady type, you’re both people-focused, but you bring high energy, while they prefer calm and consistency.

In addition, we all have the capacity to adapt.

We just have to be mindful and look at it as a fun game.

Eventually, it will become instinctual. You will adapt to all sorts of people and won’t even think about what you’re doing.

Alright, by now, you can probably see the power of reading people and adapting to them, but it’s not always easy.

You will procrastinate; You will feel unmotivated or find certain conversations boring.

The problem is that those negative emotions affect your body language, which then affects how you’ll be perceived by others.

So how do you manage your emotional state?

Well, first of all, FOCUS IS EVERYTHING.

Make sure you’re fully paying attention to them, as it will help you notice certain mannerisms and word choices that will help you figure out their style. And since we are treating this as a game, you’ll be calmer and in control.

Next, think about how you'll present yourself.

If you're about to speak with someone Dominant, remind yourself to keep a confident body language and speak in clear, direct sentences.

For an influencer, remind yourself to loosen up your posture, smile more, and be more energetic.

Or if you have the time, you could watch some short clips of a character who embodies the style you're about to face.

This strategy is called PRIMING. You can watch movie scenes or celebrity interviews to help you emulate a particular style.

Now, if you want to take things to the next level, try using:

The Sense Memory technique

It’s the same approach that method actors use to make their performances more believable and powerful.

Here's how it works:

Think about an experience where you felt a strong emotion.

Try to vividly re-create that moment in your mind… the sights, sounds, smells, and even the physical sensations. Make it so real that your body starts to feel it again.

For example, to recreate confidence and decisiveness, remember a time when you faced a long-held fear or when you played a challenging game and won.

To recreate enthusiasm and optimism, remember the moment with your friends when you couldn't stop laughing, or the thrill of hearing "you've got the job", "we're going on vacation", "You got accepted"

To recreate warmth and empathy, think about a loved one who comforted you during a tough time. Or when your friend was telling you about something painful.

To recreate curiosity and respect, you can think about the time you were reading a book or watching a movie, and you faced a surprising twist. Or when you solved a complex problem or learned something really cool.

So, remembering those events can put you in a state where you’re feeling genuine emotions.

Nuk e kam taku ndonjehere por sot i thashe se duhet tu fliste atyre cunave te fonia ta reduktojne kohen e fjalimeve ne 40 minuta.

Por me tha se eshte rradhe e gjate e merziten njerezit. Nuk te lene.

Pastaj i thashe me blloku kryqezimet qofte edhe 15 minuta sa per te bere lajm.

Ai kujtoi se po thosha per diten, qe te behen bllokime diten, por tha qe njerezit jane ne pune e nuk vijne diten. Kurse naten ska makina; Kot e bllokojme se nuk u prish pune.

Desha te kembengul me shume sic e kam zakon por erdhen disa cuna dhe e thirren.

Ne diten e dyte te protestes disa adoleshent e bllokuam kryqezimin e zogut te zi.

Normalisht une isha bashke me ta dhe u futa edhe une ne rruge.

Pra nuk ka nevoje per mijera njerez qe te besh bllokime. 20-30 veta mjaftojne.

Ndoshta e kam gabim por nje levizje apo nje proteste mund te shahet, mund te sulmohet apo mallkohet nga mengjesi ne darke... Por KURRE Nuk Duhet te Jete MONOTONE.

Mekati me i madh ne politike eshte te jesh boring.

Spontaniteti, paparashikueshmeria si ne rruge si online e cmend qeverine me shume sesa numri i larte i protestuesve.

Keshtu qe keto dite do i flas te tereve qe jane figura te protestes.

Duhet qe kete gje ta beni edhe ju.

Secili duhet ti ndale ato figurat dhe me miresjellje ua sygjeron ta shkurtojne fjalimin dhe te jene me radikal.

Kur ka plot veta qe te ndalin ne rruge dhe te thojne te njejten gje, te cojme mesazhin se shumica e protestes nuk bie n'dakord te shpenzojne gati dy ore me fjalime aka terapi ne grup.

E di qe ka element qe jane te kapur ne ate proteste. Kane qene qe ne diten e pare.

Por idea eshte te krijosh pershtypjen se te kthehet turma kunder.

Sado i kapur te jesh, kur te kap frika, ske nga shkon pa bere ndryshime.

Nese deshton protesta, Rama do e kete shume te lehte te behet diktator.

Keshtu qe kur i dime pasojat nuk mund te rrime pa bere cmos me e rrit sa më shume protesten.

E di qe media na ka bombarduar me idene se "ky vend nuk do behet kurre; jemi popull kot; e meritojme te trajtohemi si kafshe etj."

Por kjo eshte nje qasje mazokiste qe nuk i sherben fare vendit.

Eshte nje gje te besh analize te ftohte ku shpalos mangesite dhe cfare duhet rregullu, dhe krejt tjeter ta dhunosh veten me fjale.

Pas renies se komunizmit, liderat medioker ndertuan nje mjedis ku ska meritokraci dhe i detyruan Shqiptaret te emigrojne.

Kurse Shqiptaret e Kosoves e Maqedonise kane jetu nen pushtimin serb dhe po ashtu jeta e keqe i ka detyru te punojne jashte vendit.

Pra Shqiptaret ia kane nise nga zero ne vende te huaja ku ndoshta skane dit as gjuhen dhe kane arrite jo vetem te pershtaten por te kene sukses.

Hapin biznese, behen menaxhera neper korporata, behen doktora, inxhiniera, profesora neper universitete prestigjoze, ekonomiste ne BB dhe FMN, kirurge, senatore, kongresmen, etj.

Po ashtu edhe pse jemi nje popull i vogel kemi pase plot figura me fame boterore:

Artistet

>Dua Lipa, Bebe Rexha, Rita Ora, Ava Max, Era Istrefi, Dhurata Dora, Ermal Meta, Ermonela Jaho, Inva Mula, Tedi Papavrami, Eliza Dushku, Ibrahim Kodra, gjon Mili, Bekim Fehmiu, Fadil Berisha, Tony Dovolani.

Jane nje kategori artistesh te cilet nuk flasin shqip por kane prejarrdhje Shqiptare:

>Danny DeVito, Jennifer Aniston, Vllezerit Belushi, Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ, Barış Arduç, Halit Ergenç, Irene Papas,
Francesco Crispi, Antonio Gramsci, Enrico Cuccia, The Rodotà Brothers

Shkrimtare te nje niveli teper te larte

>Gjergj Fishta, Ismail Kadare, Dritero Agolli, Migjeni, Konica, Jeronim de Rada, Martin Camaj, Elena Gjika, Luan Starova, Ali Podrimja, Petro Marko

Inxhiniera dhe shkencetare

>Mira Murati, Laura Mersini-Houghton, Vilson Kokalari, Karl Gega, Prof. Rifat Gjota, William G. Gregory, Arben Merkoçi, Hoxha Tahsim, Andrea Aleksi, Sokol Todi, Mentor Petrela, dhe Ferid Murad [fitoi cmimin nobel].

Ke Nene Terezen qe ishte humanitare qe e njeh e gjithe bota qe po ashtu fitoi cmimin nobel.

Sot mesova qe Sami Frasheri njihet si arkitekti i gjuhes moderne Turke.

Familja e Mehmet Ali Pashes e udhehoqi Egjiptin per 150 vjet.

Nipi i tij, Ismail Pasha perfundoi dhe inaguroi Kanalin e Suezit.

Iliria ka dhene nga 30-40 perandore Romak, ku me te spikaturit jane

>Konstandini i Madh, Justiniani i Madh, Diokleciani, dhe Aureliani.

E ne fund kemi kryesorin: Skenderbeun.

Padyshim nje prej gjeneraleve me te forte te historise boterore. Dhe natyrisht themeluesi i kombit Shqiptar.

Por jam kurioz, ju qe merrni vesh nga historia: Kush ka qene gjeneral me i forte... Skenderbeu apo Aleksandri i Madh? Apo nuk krahasohen dot!

Ose po te kishin deshtuar Shqiptaret ndaj Osmaneve, ca do kishte ndodhe me Rilindjen Europiane?

Tani, pse kemi deshtu?

Osmanet e kane pengu ne maksimum arsimimin e Shqiptareve.

Fuqite e medha na copetuan qe ta mbajne ballkanin tere kohes ne konflikt sic bene me lindjen e mesme.

Dhe kryesori eshte sistemi komunist.

Nuk dua te zgjatem sepse e kam shpjegu me detaje ne kete shkrim sesi kjo ideologji e rrot*arizon nje popull.

Perpos vrasjeve dhe varferise ekstreme,
komunizmi na e fiku shpirtin luftarak; dhe na e vrau trurin.

Nuk eshte rastesi qe brezit te prinderve dhe gjysherve tane u ka ike jeta per dhjam qeni.

Nese do kishim pase nje klase intelektuale patriote ne vitet '90 do kishin marre disa vendime per tu sheruar dalengadale.

Por ata qe mbaheshin per te zgjuar ishin po aq loqe sa fshataret e pashkolle. Nga e di kete gje? Shof rezultatin.

E pastaj ke Berishen, Nanon, Ramen, dhe Meten qe kane pasur kombinimin më toksik qe mund te kete nje lider:

>i Lige + e Urren Vendin + Medioker + i Korruptar deri ne palce

Propaganda e tyre i ka godit vazhdimisht Shqiptaret dhe ua ka mbush mendjen se jane popull vrk.

Por si dreqin qenka i pashprese, i pandreqshem nje popull qe i gjurmohet ADN-ja me mijera vite pas?

Gjate kesaj periudhe, a e din sa perandori kane arrdhe e kane ike, sa popuj jane kriju e zhduke... e ne jemi akoma ketu?

Pra a ka mundesi ta heqim kete mentalitetin mazokist qe gjate gjithe kohes rrime e fshikullojme veten.

Jemi bere si puna e Dobbit nga Harry Potter - Jemi dhunu aq shume saqe e kemi kthy dhimbjen ne vete-urrejtje.

Para disa ditesh, protestuesit e ndryshuan rutinen dhe u futen ne nje rruge qe ishte plot me makina.

Une per vete isha euforik, njesoj si ne ato ditet e para te protestes.

Besoj se edhe te tjeret ishin euforik sepse u dukej ne fytyre dhe ne sjellje.

Por diteve te tjera kur rruga eshte bosh duket shume çuditshem - sikur policia e ka paraprire dhe thote 'Ti lejme ta ndjekin ate ritualin e pernatshem.'

Ore kjo koreografia e protestes ka qene teper e goditur. Bukur e kane mendu.

Por nuk mund te rrije gjithmone njesoj sepse nuk prodhon LAJM.

Per kete arsye here pas here duhet bere dicka ndryshe,

Per shembull, me dal nga itinerari i zakonshem dhe me kriju kaos ne rruge.

Me blloku kryqezime ku ka shume levizje per 10-15 minuta. Kaq. Nuk behet nami.

Ose ose me u nda ne tre grupe e me blloku tre kryqezime per nje heresh.

Sigurisht qe duhen printu ca letra paraprakisht, e tua japim cdo shoferi qe ka ngele aty:

>Me mire te rrime 15 minuta ne trafik.
Sesa te durojme tere jeten ne diktature.

Duhet t'ua rikujtojme pse po protestohet se njerezit harrojne [ka te drejte Çani] - ne kuptimin se nuk i mbajne mend detajet.

Tjeter, fjalimet duhet te behen shume më të shkurtra.

Çdo dite ke gati 1 ore e 40 minuta fjalime nga njerez qe shumica derrmuese skane talent per te folur.

Nuk po i paragjykoj se as une nuk e kam aftesine me fol live para nje turme te madhe.

Eshte me te vertete aftesi e rralle.

Edhe kur dine, problemi qendron se i kemi degju të tëra.

Ske ça perserit te njejtat gjera sepse eshte proteste, jo terapi ne grup.

Shiko: Une e kuptoj qe do kete dite qe do lodhesh e perton te dalesh.

Eshte normale se nuk do jesh gjithmone euforik. Nuk jemi te gjithe qe pijme mall si rama.

Por protesta nuk duhet te jete kaq e parashikueshme.

Me mire te paragjykohesh, te shahesh, apo te mallkohesh sesa te jesh boring.

Duhet vazhdimisht me ba gjera edhe ne rruge edhe online qe krijojne lajm.

Duhet qeveria te reagoje ndaj veprimeve tona, e jo ne te reagojme bazuar ne cfare thote rama. Sepse kjo e ul statusin e protestes.

Rama duhet te zgjohet çdo mengjes i djersitur:

>Ore ça do bejne keta sot se ma nxine jeten

Por kur ti merresh me k**lliqet e tij atehere po ben nje gabim AMATORESK.

E kete gabim e bejne vazhdimisht pjesetaret e atij grupit.

Te gjithe i kemi degjuar: "Rama tha ne jemi sorra... Por ne jemi Shqiponja..."

"Rama tha kshu balla tha ashtu... Milo, bido, zegjine..."

O loqe cila eshte narrative jote; leje ca thone ata.

Apo kur thone "Shqiperia e Shqipetareve, JO E tradhtareve."

E kthyen nje slogan legjende ne nje shprehje lepurushash.

Apo pse nuk themi më "Rama, Rama, të q*fsha ropt" - jo po dalim te paedukate.

A me rafte pika, ky po shet vendin po ne nuk duhet te flasim fjale te pista.

Kush ishte ai gjeniu i vogel qe e ndryshoi në "Te Quero Rama". - jo po eshte ironik.

po se kemi nje popull shume brilant qe i kap gjerat qe ne ajer.

Nejse u zgjata pak si shume se ka kohe qe me acarojne nervat.

A mendoni edhe ju se protesta duhet te permisohet?

PO JO PO JO

Nese po, si mund tu behet presion te ndryshojne sepse jemi cdo dite aty.

Idea eshte me ndermarre disa veprime te medha e te forta e do shikosh qe do rritet ndjeshem pjesemarrja, qe eshte kritike sidomos ne gusht.

Sa here del nje minister apo drejtues qe ka vjedhur, PS-ja e ka gati narrativen:

• Ne e bëmë reformen
• Jane molle te kalbura
• Hane dardha pas shpine

Tani në kete subreddit, ke nje pjese qe jane socialiste. Dhe nuk e kam me ironi kur them qe jane më të pergatitur se mbeshtetesit e tjere te rames.

Por prape nuk e kuptojne se...

>Vjedhja dhe shkaterrimi nuk jane anomali,
jane pjese e ADN-se së partise socialiste

Mendoje pak.

A e çove nje hajdut para drejtesise se "pavarur"?

Po.

Ok bravo, por si i behet se ke me MIJERA barbare te tjere qe punojne ne shtet!!!

Njeri me i zi se tjetri. Secili i sherben me devotshmeri vetes dhe partise. Dhe normalisht, çdo dite keta na e bejne gropen - ca me pak ca me shume.

Shiko, dikur Partia e Punes te vriste nese i dilje kunder, kurse sot te blen median, voten, intelektualet, njerezit e thjeshte etj.

Nga i marrin leket?

Sigurisht qe nga xhepat tane.

Pra barbarizmi nuk eshte defekt; eshte plan.

Eshte si puna e kancerit. Ne njeren ane ke trupin qe lufton per mbijetese, e ne anen tjeter ke kancerin qe kerkon kontroll absolut mbi trupin.

Pastaj do fitoje o njeriu o semundja.

Pak a shume eshte njesoj edhe me shtetet por ka nje ndryshim. Shtetet nuk vdesin aq lehte.

Po fitoi regjimi (aka kanceri) atehere shteti nuk vdes por ndryshon rrenjesisht.

Ne rastin tone, shqiptaret do vazhdojne te emigrojne ne menyre masive, do shiten tokat, dhe do shtohen sklleverit e botes se trete.

Po vazhdoi PS-ja ne pushtet Shqiperia do vazhdoje te ekzistoje por nuk do jete më Shqiperi.

Dje nuk isha ne proteste sepse isha semure.

Sot me tha nje shok se nje djale e lyu veten me benzine dhe ishte gati ta ndezte cakmakun.

Ata cunat qe ishin afer, ku nder ta ishte edhe shoku im, arriten ta ndalojne ne sekonda te fundit.

Ai djali po thoshte "duhet ta shpetojme Shqiperine",  "duhet ta shpetojme Shqiperine".

Fatmiresisht, u ndal me aq. Se mund te ishte nje ngjarje makabre. Ata cunat e moren e cuan ne kafe qe te qetesohej.

Drejtoresha e Postes ne Durres vodhi 700,000 euro dhe i la ne bixhoz e kjo solli qe te kishte vonesa ne shperndarjen e pensioneve ne fillim te ketij muaji.

Raste te tilla ndodhin edhe ne bote. Mundesisht behen edhe filma.

Por ajo qe nuk kuptova eshte se pse u ankuan aq shume pensionistet: jo po rradhe e gjate; na mbyti vapa; na vonohen leket... bla bla bla...

Ju ia keni dediku jeten partise. E bo robi edhe nje sakrifice me teper.

Drejtuesit socialist kane punuar fort gjithe vitin e tani po bejne pushime luksoze neper Europe e neper vende ekzotike kurse ju doni tua prishni qetesine.

Ja i more ato 150 mije leke te vjetra. Ca do besh? Per 3 dite i prish. Per kaq pak leke e merzit partine?

Pa pike ftyre dilni duke u anku neper lajme e neper media sociale. A mos ndoshta keni fillu me e dashte saliun apo larg qofte doni ti bashkoheni revolucionit flamingo? Sepse nuk shpjegohet ndryshe ky rebelim.

Nën udheheqjen e lavdishme të partise socialiste, masat vullnetare dhe zjarrefikesit tane trima zhvilluan betejen titanike, dhembe per dhembe me flaket që kerkuan të gllaberojne Krujen tone historike.

Shteti e kishte pajisur repartin me kamionat zjarrefikes të teknologjise më të fundit marksiste-leniniste.

Ndonëse pushteti popullor u kishte vënë në gatishmëri të plotë kostume te posaçme per tu mbrojtur nga zjarri, ata i perbuzen keto komoditete.

Po ashtu kur iu ofruan shperblime monetare, ata i kthyen mbrapsht me neverine e klases punetore.

Per 18 ore rresht, të rrethuar nga tymi e furia e natyres, atyre u mjaftoi ideali, pak buke, djathe dhe domate e njome e kooperatives.

Syri vigjilent i organeve të Policisë Popullore goditi rrufeshëm! Nuk vonoi dhe u demaskua dora e fshehtë e armikut.

Një agjent i poshtër, një diversant i shitur tek padronët imperialisto-borgjezë, kishte thurur këtë plan diabolik për të përvëluar arritjet e socializmit.

Ky eshte shkaktari i ketij zjarri dhe i veshtiresive të sterzgjatura në shuarjen e tij.

Por komploti i tyre u thërrmua si gjithmone.

Lideri ynë, i pathyeshem dhe hijerëndë si vete shkembinjte e thepisur të bregdetit tone qëndroi i palëkundur në pushimet e tij në jug të vendit.

Ai kishte besim të plotë në forcat tona të kalitura në stuhi e beteja.

Nje dore në kazme. Nje dore në pushke. Dhe nje dore në zorren e ujit per te mbrojtur atdheun socialist.

We all know that the modern elites are evil AF, but we must never underestimate them because they're smart.

They don't rely on terror like the dictatorships used to.

Unironically, they have used the quote of Dostoevsky as a strategy: 

>The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure
he never knows he is in a prison

Regardless of where you live in the world, you are being robbed blind by corrupt governments or corporations. Yet, we are all too busy ranting, fighting each other over stupid sh*t, and struggling to keep up with the endless shows or videos.

But there is something that the elites don't understand… something that even the dystopian writers like George Orwell or philosophers like Dostoevsky didn't anticipate... 

What happens when a group of people not only doesn't fall for the propaganda but weaponizes it? 

These are people who, for whatever reason [read a lot of books or had great teachers], instinctively know how to protect their minds.

They have this habit of looking beyond the news. If others are debating the topic, they are thinking: “Why this and why now? What are they hiding?”

They understand that propagandists are like prestidigitators… When they tell you to pay attention here, you should focus elsewhere.

This skill set has helped them develop a keen understanding of what’s really going on, which has made their life easier.

And this brings me to my discovery:

The system doesn’t break EVERYONE.

There's a small percentage of the population that is free.

Consciously or unconsciously, they have developed sharp instincts to recognize and weaponize propaganda.

But let’s get two things quickly out of the way:

First, whether you live in Iran, Russia, Europe, or America, YOU are facing a sophisticated propaganda machine. 

Each machine has its own specifics, but at the end of the day, the goal is the same… to exploit you.

https://preview.redd.it/zevfoa5a5rhh1.png?width=2946&format=png&auto=webp&s=b55d304e9e59c2185509c0ecabd0eca93a66ffe1

Second, no matter how wise you are; no matter how strong your critical thinking skills are; this environment is going to influence you. It is going to affect your worldview.

However, it’s vital to understand that there’s a big difference between being influenced and being a downright sheep.

Think about it this way: If you are a martial artist, you are going to train every day; You are going to get hit very often, but as long as there are no permanent damages, you have the capability to go on.

As long as there are no broken bones, then you simply get stronger. 

It’s the same with propaganda. As long as you don't let it change the essence of who you are, you get sharper.

Now, grasping what is actually going on has the major benefit of being free, but it also comes with carrying a heavy weight on your shoulders.

From time to time, you feel sad; you might even feel depressed, because even though you are surrounded by a lot of people, you feel alone… You feel misunderstood. And you don’t know who to trust because they seem to be living in a different reality. 

But gradually, you learn that you are not alone, that there are actually many other people who are free just like you.

Without knowing it, you have all learned by observing the dictatorship, or, if you live in the West, you’ve been learning from observing the corporations and the government.

Sun Tzu used to say:

>Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will always hold the advantage

Well, we know ourselves because we’re constantly striving to get better, and we know our enemy because we have survived the most sophisticated propaganda machine in history.

This worldview is not propagated in schools or in the media for obvious reasons… They don’t want people to complain when they get fucked by the system every single day.

And when it comes to the intellectuals, they often fall prey to cynicism and nihilism.

Many of them are not only useless but actually send the country backward because they drive the ordinary people into soul-crushing apathy. But we will talk about them another time.

So there’s a minority of people who fully understand the gravity of the situation and choose to fight to change it even though the odds are against them.

Even though they might fail, the struggle itself to become a better, stronger person makes life more interesting.

You did everything you were supposed to do. 

You studied hard, got the degree, and you work hard for the company, yet something doesn't add up... literally.

Just like you, there are many more people who are struggling to make ends meet or are nowhere near living the life they dreamed of.

You have no safety net. You all know that if you fail to pay your bills, you will end up in the street.

But when the big banks almost collapsed the world economy, they got bailed out, and the beauty is that nobody went to prison.

Many people have realized that the game is rigged, and from time to time, they rebel.

Whether they realize it or not, these people are using a strategy called:

Asymmetrical Warfare

When you are facing a much bigger opponent, you don't engage in a frontal battle because they will crush you.

Instead, you find their weak points, attack them, and then retreat. Each time, you erode the enemy from within until they just collapse. You know, it's death by a thousand cuts.

Now this generation has a scarily powerful weapon that they have been using since they were kids: technology.

That’s why in recent years, we have seen how ordinary people made a few massive corporations bleed… in some cases bleed to death.

The most famous example is GameStop. 

It’s 2021, and GameStop is a company that sells physical game discs in shopping malls while people are downloading games online, and while the pandemic is keeping everyone at home.

The hedge funds made their calculations and placed a bet that the company's stock would crash. They wanted GS to die, and they wanted to get rich off its funeral.

But many Redditors felt nostalgic because as kids they would go to these stores and buy consoles or trade in their games. And now you have these corporate barbarians trying to destroy this very company.

So since the hedge funds were betting that the stock would fall in value, the members of r/WallStreetBets bought as many GameStop shares as possible and refused to sell. 

This quickly raised the price, which forced those same hedge funds to buy more shares, driving the price even higher.

Long story short, the main target, Melvin Capital, lost billions of dollars in value in a single month and was shut down the following year. Meanwhile, other short-sellers [other massive hedge funds] lost collectively $19.75 billion. 

Another interesting example is the Great Reshuffle.

During the pandemic, the essential workers got crushed. They had to work longer hours, risk getting infected with COVID, deal with toxic customers, etc. 

They decided that all that stress wasn't worth it, so many of them quit.

On the other hand, the office workers realized that the job could be done from home without needing to commute 2 hours a day to sit in a cubicle.

All of this was powered by a temporary financial safety net. A combination of pandemic relief programs, expanded unemployment, and lockdown savings gave people the leverage they needed to finally say no.

So when the economy quickly reopened, companies found themselves severely understaffed. They were forced to offer higher wages and better benefits just to try and keep their operations running.

During this time, I remember watching videos of people talking about their work experience, and keep in mind that I live on the other side of the world, so the popularity of such videos was crazy high.

Many people started openly expressing their feelings of relief from not having to deal anymore with toxic managers, or opening their own business.

These people undoubtedly inspired those who were on the fence, who then made their own videos, inspired others, and so on…

So there was a perfect storm of conditions coupled with social media which allowed 47 Million People in the US either to change their jobs or quit.

The media called it The Great Resignation. 

The economists called it The Great Reshuffle.

I call it The Great Awakening.

The Power of Ants

The powerful few look at GameStop, the Great Reshuffle, Occupy Wall Street, Snowden, or Assange as just some errors in their otherwise flawless plan. 

What they fail to realize is that what has happened wasn't a fluke. It will happen again. 

An average person with sharp instincts will make some memes, posts, or videos that will inspire a lot of people... and those people will inspire many more people... and next thing you know, you have a major event that shakes the country or even the world. 

So never underestimate the power of ordinary people because on their own they are powerless, but when they get organized they’re able to pull amazing things.

I mean, look at what r/Wallstreetbet did.

A couple of users noticed the structural flaw in the strategy of hedge funds. 

Their posts resonated with a small group, which grew and grew.

The users were highly motivated for different reasons… many by a noble goal [to protect their favorite company], by shared hatred [to fuck Wall St. corporations for a change], some were in it for the money, others just for the sake of entertainment… It doesn't really matter because in a movement, you will have all sorts of groups.

What matters is that they ALL share the SAME VILLAIN and are coldly reading the situation to attack the enemy where it hurts the most. 

So the elites have a monopoly on information; they own all the TV and social media.

But by knowing how to craft effective propaganda, ordinary people will be able to use their platforms against them.

Çmimi i larte i naftes ndikon ne menyre te drejtperdrejte tek çmimet e ushqimeve dhe gjerave te tjera.

Tani une e kuptoj qe shume Shqiptare nuk e bejne dot kete lidhje ose nuk i kushtojne rendesi.

Por kur ke makine, nuk ke si ta shmangesh faktin qe nafta eshte 195, 205, 214 leke...

Veç per naften. Varja shitjes se tokave, shpopullimit, apo korrupsionit barbar.

VEÇ PER NAFTEN duhej te ishte sheshi plot nga politekniku tek Skenderbeu.

Sepse ti mund te jesh socialist, demokrat, apo elektorat gri, prape do e pagush njesoj.

Kur ka mbi 67 dite qe protestohet, e bo robi zemren gure dhe del ne shesh.

Pra propaganda e qeverise ua ka pallu aq fort trurin saqe e marrin per te mireqene qe çmimi te jete gjithmone lart.

Ndalen te karburanti, e pagujne naften sa qimet e kokes, shajne me rob shpie nder dhembe, pastaj... lesht.

Kaq eshte reagimi i tyre.

Per çdo liter qe paguajme, gjysma apo me shume jane veç taksa.

Por mos ki merak sepse parate tona perdoren qe lloj lloj barboni socialist qe punon si drejtues te beje jete luksi.

Pa te jete mire partia se ne do bejme si do bejme.
