Winners do give up. Constantly and without regrets. They give up things like: toxic relationships, meaningless jobs, the urge to conform, partying, ideas that don’t serve them, bad habits - even if those bad habits are so ingrained into the culture that they are called "tradition." In fact, they give up their whole lives, every night, in order to live new and better ones tomorrow.

The sooner toxic people are shunned the sooner life improves. I had a whole swarm of them on me at the beginning of 2022 and within weeks of realising what was going on, everything got a hell of a lot better.
And the same applies to people on social media too. I'm now proactively muting people I see my follows replying to retarded notes regurgitating official narrative talking points.
The less I see this shit, the more time I have to do things that matter. Distraction is the last resort of the manipulators if all other tactics are failing, and the one that shunning completely defeats.
