I Genuinely Do Not Understand the Human Race

...

I will have to firstly apologise for not keeping schedule, I have been pondering how viable The Daily Beagle truly is at length. I must also apologise I did not do the toxic mask article. Someone took the masks I was going to examine under a microscope, and then when I got another set, they didn’t have the toxic material. It was micro-plastics, by the way, and it appears also on cotton wool buds and in processed American cheese. I imagine the article wouldn’t have garnered more than 5 likes given trends anyway.

I’ve taken the liberty of pausing the subscription billing on Substack, and I’ll be withdrawing my services. Commentators let me know if any subscription still re-occurs as I have never used this feature before and Substack is notoriously buggy. Feel free to file refund requests, I am officially done. The Daily Beagle requires too much effort, and as I’ve said before on nearly every recent post, is not financially viable.

It operates at a loss for me, the time I spend here is time I could spend in a full time job grinding away for the Machine. This is during an economic downturn.

I genuinely don’t understand the human race. They claim to want facts, and I poured months of research into exposing the connections between vaccine manufacturers and outbreaks, having sorted the research in the form of a timeline of events spanning 256 articles, with the article getting four likes, fewer views, and one unsubscription from a paying subscriber.

Meanwhile, the coverage of Twitter - a single day’s worth of arguably “lazy” effort (lazy at least compared to the weeks and months of legwork of other projects) - got more likes, more shares and more views. Maybe a more shrewd business person could lean into this phenomena, but I am no businessman.

I cannot in good conscience stoop to constantly writing non-stop churnalism about repeated rhetoric that dozens of other outlets have already covered. I feel bad for joining the conga line, and disappointed this is how society operates.

Comparing The Daily Beagle’s progress with other Substacks that have existed for a similar length of time, it seems to have gained less in all domains, even if more effort was put in. Effort and hard work is not rewarded; some of the worst performing articles are the ones with the largest amount of work put into them.

It seems people only want Substacks that reinforce, rather than defy or explore, worldviews, even within the supposedly ‘rebellious’ groups. A ‘less thinking, more repeating’ attitude seems to prevail in all social circles. Time I spend repeating popular topics is time I don’t spend informing of the truth, or creating real reporting.

People don’t want real reporting, though. They love the drama, the politics, the distractions, the petty fights and insults on places like Twitter. I personally thought it was due to a lack of meaningful alternatives, but realistically, alternatives always have existed in one form or another… people intentionally avoid them.

I’m starting to see the world’s problems as a natural consequence of public action coupled with abject denial by the public to accept their apathy and inaction is what enables it to happen.

People say they want free speech but avoid places like Gab, they claim they hate politics but then talk all day on articles that are entirely political, they want integrity in politics but don’t want to put in any effort to hold anyone to account, they oddly expect politicians - the government - to hold themselves - the government - to account.

It baffles me how many times people can metaphorically hit their head. Already now there are people screaming for Republicans to investigate as if they naively believe the people who voted in Ukrainian aid to financial yet another MIC proxy war was ever going to do anything for them. Only four people voted against the Patriot Act. This fact never hammers home. The implications: both parties hate you.

I write this having seen, once again, revolt virtue signalling on numerous boards and discussion groups, where commentators who try-hard talking about all the lamppost hangings and gallows building they will be doing in their circlejerk fantasies of stopping globalists, whilst in reality, achieving nothing.

I genuinely do not understand, why do you people lie? To yourselves and each other? Not one of you has built any gallows and I don’t get what this pointless obsession is with talking about it in public is?

Why do you boldly proclaim heroic acts online and then timidly do nothing? Why do you say you want the facts, when the success of many outlets online says you actually prefer distracting light entertainment? You say you support free speech but then when it is challenged don’t do anything. Children were murdered by poison shot and all I see is heartbreaking passivity in the public.

I saw only one true act of courage in the last five years and it was a man admitting publicly he was too afraid to revolt, that he fears that if he revolted, he’d be alone, and everyone would be against him. True bravery is admitting flaws as to why you cannot, not inventing bravado scenarios. The first step to overcoming a problem is admitting it.

And I’m admitting it here. The Daily Beagle is not financially viable. I’m not asking for money now, however, because the metadata tells me it is because what The Daily Beagle writes about - the unpleasant truth - isn’t what people truly want.

People want to live in a world where nuclear power is magically safe, the most serious threat is how many people Elon can insult whilst people bizarrely cheer him on, even as he lies about being a Free Speech Absolutist, keeping Alex Jones banned and ‘having to think’ about unbanning Donald Trump (I am no fan of Trump having betrayed Patriotic Americans, but if one proclaims they’re pro-free speech then their actions should align with their words).

I could devolve to churnalism, but, I won’t. I love the truth too much. I cannot afford to run a publication telling people the truth if it means I lose paying subscribers every time I do so. These things take effort and time, and cannot be simply placed around a full time job. Uou can do that with light entertainment, but research, no. Reading 256 articles, cross-referencing data and then compiling it in an organised format takes time, and is a full time job.

The extensive investment of time does not merit the lacklusture returns, and, once again, I am thrown back into the jaws of the Deep State. I will become broke and starve long before The Daily Beagle becomes financially viable.

The Daily Beagle is not financially viable, and now, never will be.
