@morellifit What dose of Selank and Semax per day?

I’ve personally used over 20 peptide and longevity compounds since 2017. Retatrutide, BPC-157, Selank, MOTS-c, and plenty more. In this thread, I'll share my exact protocols, the data behind them, and what I’ve actually achieved so far: (1/18)

@RokoMijic Do you think Europe has a chance?

America is f*cked

@limitlesstack Never heard not to NAC daily, Ive been taking 1500 mg daily for 3 weeks. You think I should cut it down? Im tryingnto NAC it for the cogbitive benefits and lung health after quitting vaping.

so you had an amazing night out. you drank. a lot. maybe blacked out. maybe not. but now you're lying there wondering what you did to your body. here's the bare minimum stack to undo the damage: NAC + TUDCA NAC: - raises glutathione - your body's master antioxidant - reduces neuroinflammation - reduces oxidative stress - protects against liver stress TUDCA: - direct liver support - protects bile ducts from toxic stress - clinically used for liver disease - what your liver actually needs if you drink regularly these two cover almost all of the damage. the swiss army knife of recovery. dosing + cycle: TUDCA: - 500mg TUDCA taken after drinking, with food NAC: - 1200mg before drinking, 2-4x per week - heavy users: 2-3000mg - don't take daily. can lead to anhedonia. even john mcafee took it the biggest consumer of - chinese drugs - cigarettes - alcohol said he never skipped the NAC. but he missed the TUDCA. both are non negotiables. protect your brain and body even if you abuse it. not medical advice.

@JackNapierNot America is toast imo... Demographics already baked and lets face it Hispanics and Asians are more tolerable than Africans and Arabs invading Europe. Europe still has the chance to change though.

This is not going to go as you think it will.

@Post_Thirty RSD Nation rebranded after the heat from feminists after Julien gate. They had to rebrand during thr Me Too Era. A lot more Incels nowadays then even 10 years ago so it's it was a business decision for both survival and larger market.

The reason RSD Nation and Pickup Artist groups appear as helping men succeed is because of where the guy is coming from. If you are a basement dwelling Incel who can't even talk to people, going out to jump around and high five girls is a win. You didn't get a date or score but you "had a good time". You "felt good".

@BonesawMD A Western women thing but it is defnitely going global more.

Gen Z cooked when they came up with Jestermaxxing. A lot of men don't realise how badly they do it. A woman will message you, and be so boring that she'll expect YOU to entertain her and flirt w/ her and eventually blame you if you don't do it. You are expected to be a jester. Even in sex you have to put on some ridiculous act. So many of you genuinely think it's good and normal

He's right. Men participating in BDSM as "Doms" are victims. Women have tricked men into cosplaying "dominance" and being proud of it. No mentally sound man enjoys the faffing about, ridiculous roleplay, or drawn out fake violence malarkey where he has to hold back 90% of his strength anyway. "Dom" sex by men when roleplayed like this is always silly nonsense. He becomes a slave to her fantasy. There is nothing dominant about servicing her like this. She tops you from the bottom as you do all the work to plan the scene, dirty talk, the commands, the physical work, try to regulate her mood. The laziest woman you know with "high libido" loves BDSM type sex and can do it nightly, because she literally doesn't have to do anything. 100% dominant sex by a man lasts no longer than 3 minutes. Genghis Khan syndrome. It is inconsiderate. Her feelings and pleasure mean nothing, and her body is used like a fleshlight.

@StewartalsopIII My reasoning for Europe to have hope is that they are literally being invaded by Africans and Arabs that don't assimilate at all and have no desire to. I'm at least hopeing a fire will rise. They also still have significantly better demographics than the USA still.

@bradc3243 europe also seems toast from my perspective

from 2020-2024 we had a passive boomer as the chief honcho of the US of A at a critical time in its history from 2024-2026 we have had an active boomer as the chief honcho of the US of A at an even more critical time in its history I'm not sure which is worse for the US of A (but MIGA sure is winning with all these boomers) I hope there is a divine plan here cause the boomers sure ain't got one

@godcandle @blknoiz06 Does NAD+ help with anxiety at all? It was one I was looking at.

@blknoiz06 KLOW, NAD+, Reta KLOW for skin, anti- inflammation, & torn MCL recovery NAD+ for brain fog dissipation + clarity Reta for weight management

are you guys taking peptides? which ones if so & why

@1skps @blknoiz06 How does the Pinealon run and them together? I tried Selank yesterday and today and like it. Plan on getting Pinealon.

@blknoiz06 Pinealon and Selank For cognition and calmness

@mattforney Surprised it so high in 2026 tbh.... 43%

Reminder that X is not real. The caponized zoomer wokescolds calling you a "degenerate," a "sex tourist" etc. are not real. Not even the "pious" Catholics on here believe this celibacy trash. Their priests are surely tired of hearing about their hookups at confession every week.

@BowTiedUM Is pinealon nasal spray effective? Looking to boost my brain and I've heard it helps, do you think so?

@Helios_Movement How should NAC be cycled? I started it a couple weeks ago with glycine, doing about 2000 mg of both daily.

Here’s a list of 12 cheap supplements that can actually support your health more effectively than expensive ones 👇 Note: This is about supplements indeed but if you do not get sunlight, exercise, eat whole foods, try to avoid vices such as excessive alcohol consumption and so on, then supplements will not save you. Plenty of foods have more benefits than not only compared to the supplements at a low/medium price point but a very high as well. If a supplement, had the history and benefits of kefir for example, it would sell a lot. It’s just that you can only make so much profit from foods. I can’t sell you for example a $30 bottle of kefir yet i can very easily sell someone a $30 bottle of probiotics. The right supplements CAN be useful and maybe even life-saving. I am not dismissing them. At all. This is why we will talk about them. This is just about having the right priorities. Now let’s talk about the supplements (not presented by order of importance). Number 1: Taurine (especially if you were vegan or battled a candida overgrowth recently). Don’t let energy drinks give a bad reputation to taurine. This very cheap supplement could do more for your: -Mitochondria (did you know that ATP generation can drop up to 25% if we don’t get/produce enough taurine?) -Blood sugar levels -Fertility -Liver -Heart -Kidneys -Gut and issues such as SIBO -Eyesight -Recovery -Brain/mood Than most of the fancy supplements. Number 2: Magnesium glycinate This form is recommended in particular because for most people it will be the safest and cheapest form that works. Magnesium is obviously crucial for our health. It is involved in over 3700 enzymatic reactions in the body, lowers SHBG, increases free testosterone, optimizes GABA, improves sleep, protects the heart AND arteries, helps us utilize vitamin D better, it is a crucial calcium regulator and protects our nervous system. Number 3: TMG This is a water soluble glycine analog with three methyl groups attached to its nitrogen atom. Our liver and kidneys synthesize TMG from oxidizing choline into betaine aldehyde and then into TMG with the help of enzymes like choline oxidase and betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase but it’s also a naturally occurring compound found in foods like beets. Its an osmoprotectant and a powerful methyl donor that’s involved in DNA repair, gene expression and detoxification. But when it comes to it being a methyl donor, it donates methyl groups to homocysteine through the enzyme betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT), unlike other methyl donors like folate or vitamin B12. Who could benefit from its usage and why its basically mentioned: People with SNPs in MTHFR, people with high homocysteine levels especially if they are paired with high blood pressure, elevated liver enzymes (it’s especially great for alcohol-induced hepatic steatosis), people who want to use niacin, NMN or other NAD+ boosters, people who want to increase the production of SAMe and people who want to to support hydrochloric acid production in the gut. Note: If you have a compromised mucosal layer, fix that first before using supplemental TMG. Number 4: Thiamine HCL Now a lot of people will hate the HCL form and they will make some good arguments, but this is about cheap supplements that work and even though forms such as allithiamine can be preferred (and suggested if you can spend more money), HCL can still have benefits. In case you’re not aware of what thiamine is, it’s vitamin B1 and a 101 is that it’s important for helping the body’s cells “turn” carbohydrates into energy, muscle contraction, the conduction of nerve signals the metabolism of pyruvate, GABA, preventing complications in the nervous system, brain, muscles, heart, stomach, intestines, the flow of electrolytes into and out of muscle and nerve cells. It’s important in general and the problems with thiamine is that: -Is hard to get where other B vitamins such as B12, B9 are not that hard to get -Most people consume too much alcohol, stimulants and carbs for the current amount that they are consuming Number 5: Glycine This one is crucial for gut health and our nervous system, protects the liver, supports energy metabolism, protects against muscle loss, lowers stress hormones, protects the adrenals and lowers excessive serotonin. Other benefits: [1]: Glycine regulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in lean and monosodium glutamate-obese mice. [2]: Glycine Attenuates LPS-Induced Apoptosis and Inflammatory Cell Infiltration in Mouse Liver. [3]: Glycine stimulates protein synthesis and inhibits oxidative stress in pig small intestinal epithelial cells. [4]: Altered amino acid concentrations in NAFLD: Impact of obesity and insulin resistance. [5]: Decrease in glycation of lens proteins by lysine and glycine by scavenging of glucose and possible mitigation of cataractogenesis. [6]: Glycine attenuates hepatocellular depression during early sepsis and reduces sepsis-induced mortality. [7]: Effects of glycine on motor performance in rats after traumatic spinal cord injury. [8]: Glycine therapy inhibits the progression of cataract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. [9]: Glycine potentiates the NMDA response in cultured mouse brain neurons. [10]: Glycine blocks the increase in intracellular free Ca2+ due to vasoactive mediators in hepatic parenchymal cells. [11]: Glycine improves survival after hemorrhagic shock in the rat. [12]: Glycine Metabolism and Its Alterations in Obesity and Metabolic Diseases. [13]: Dietary glycine inhibits the growth of B16 melanoma tumors in mice. [14]: Production of superoxide and TNF-alpha from alveolar macrophages is blunted by glycine. [15]: Glycine administration attenuates skeletal muscle wasting in a mouse model of cancer cachexia. [16]: Glycine protects the male reproductive system against lead toxicity via alleviating oxidative stress, preventing sperm mitochondrial impairment, improving kinematics of sperm, and blunting the downregulation of enzymes involved in the steroidogenesis. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18930730/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32101618/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25122646/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28802074/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8282049/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11395604/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18605249/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22355255/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2433595/ Number 6: Creapure. Most people are already familiar with this “bro” supplements but don’t underestimate the impact that it can have in regards to your energy levels, brain and androgen health. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37968687/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35267907/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30086660/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37881206/ Number 7: NAC From helping our lungs, immune system, liver and brain all the way to fertility, NAC can have a lot of benefits. It of course has a huge impact on the antioxidant system since it’s a precursor to glutathione so just like everything else needs to be cycled. Number 8: Lithium orotate. Lithium orotate is not a medication but an OTC supplement that combines the trace mineral lithium with orotic acid. Lithium is an alkali metal naturally found in trace amounts in food and water and orotic acid a heterocyclic compound involved in pyrimidine biosynthesis, which was once classified as vitamin B13 and is a precursor to nucleotides like uridine which are essential for DNA and RNA synthesis. Even though lithium orotate is available typically in capsules of 5–20 mg, a stark contrast to the 400–1200 mg daily doses of lithium carbonate, it’s not something that should be used without doing any research prior or at high doses because in some studies, 20mg of lithium orotate is comparable to 100mg (and even 150mg in some mouse models) to lithium carbonate. How is this possible? Well lithium orotate passes the blood-brain barrier, more efficiently than lithium carbonate for example (this is attributed to orotic acid’s role as a carrier, potentially utilizing nucleotide or urate transporters to enhance lithium delivery to the brain). So a simple lithium deficiency can create more problems in the brain than we think. Here’s an example: In a nature study, out of 27 metals, lithium was the only metal significantly reduced in the PFC of MCI and AD patients. Plus it showed lithium orotate reduced Aβ plaque burden by ~70% and tau phosphorylation in AD mouse models. Here are the basic mechanisms of action: 1. GSK3β inhibition GSK3β is a serine-threonine kinase implicated in AD, bipolar disorder and other conditions due to its role in amyloid aggregation, tau phosphorylation and neuroinflammation. A lithium deficiency increases GSK3β expression and tyrosine 216 phosphorylation leading to: Increased Aβ42 and phospho-tau/ Downregulation of synaptic genes such as Homer1, Grm3, PSD-95 and myelin-related genes such as Mbp and Mog. Elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF and CCL3. Fun fact: A study found that lithium orotate (1.5 mg/kg) was more potent than lithium carbonate (15–20 mg/kg) in blocking amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion (a model of mania). 2. IMPase inhibition. Lithium inhibits IMPase, an enzyme in the phosphoinositol cycle, which regulates inositol levels critical for neurotransmitter signaling (dysregulated inositol is implicated in bipolar disorder for example). 3. Anti-inflammatory effects Lithium orotate reduces neuroinflammation by modulating microglial function. In the Nature study, lithium deficiency increased microglial expression of pro-inflammatory markers (such as CD68, Apoe, GPNMB) and cytokines, impairing Aβ clearance. 4. Neurotransmitter modulation Lithium orotate modulates the levels of serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline (especially instabilizing dopamine signaling). 5. B12 absorption. A common reason why some people who do not supplement with B12 yet have very high levels in their blood work is due to a lithium deficiency. Now, for most people in my opinion, a trace mineral supplement that will provide 1-2mg of lithium/gallon of water is enough. When it comes to mood disorders, Dr. James Greenblatt advocates for lithium orotate in micro-doses (400 µg–5 mg). Number 9: Myo-inositol Even though we can synthesize up to 4 grams of this one (our gut bacteria can synthesize small amounts of other B vitamins such as B7, B9 and B12) its supplementation can have a variety of benefits for people’s mental health, metabolic function and reproductive health since it is a structural component of cell membranes, influences neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, enhances insulin sensitivity/glucose uptake, lipid metabolism, supports ovarian function and egg quality improving glucose uptake and lipid metabolism. Number 10: Activated charcoal Unfortunately, we all were, are and will continue to be exposed to enormous amounts of toxins. Should we try avoiding them? Yes. But it would also be a good idea to occasionally add some binder like activated charcoal. Remember, toxins such as heavy metals have a bigger (and faster) negative impact on our health than dietary toxins and if you’ve struggled with them you know that this is true. Just don’t take AC, too close to your meals, medications and other supplements and NOT daily since it will deplete you of minerals. Number 11: Whole food vitamin C. Vitamin C is often praised during the winter months due to the effects that it has on the immune system, but this doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to how important vitamin C is for our well-being. From our immune cells and adrenal glands all the way to our cardiovascular health, brain, eyes and skin, vitamin C is crucial. Unlike most animals, we (humans) must obtain vitamin C from our diets simply because we cannot synthesize vitamin C. Now let’s explain why vitamin C is so important through practical ways. Vitamin C’s role as a primary water-soluble antioxidant is probably its most celebrated function. Oxidative stress arises when there’s an imbalance between free radicals (highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons) and the body’s ability to neutralize them. This damage contributes to aging, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, cancer and many chronic conditions. In general, ROS are natural byproducts of metabolism, especially from mitochondrial electron transport, but also from environmental factors like pollution, UV radiation, smoking, and inflammation. Common ROS include: Superoxide anion (O₂⁻) Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) Hydroxyl radical (•OH) Singlet oxygen These can damage DNA (leading to mutations), proteins (impairing function), and lipids (peroxidizing membranes, creating chain reactions). Now vitamin C donates electrons to neutralize ROS directly, becoming oxidized to semidehydroascorbic acid (an intermediate radical) and then dehydroascorbic acid (DHA). This process quenches radicals without propagating damage. For example: It scavenges superoxide, hydroxyl radicals, and peroxyl radicals. In immune cells, it helps manage ROS produced for pathogen killing while protecting the cell itself. DHA is recycled back to ascorbic acid via glutathione (GSH)-dependent enzymes or thioredoxin reductase, maintaining the cycle. But vitamin C doesn’t work in isolation, it’s central to an interconnected antioxidant network. It: Regenerates vitamin E.Lipid-soluble vitamin E (α-tocopherol) neutralizes peroxyl radicals in membranes, forming a tocopheryl radical. Vitamin C reduces this back to active vitamin E at the water/lipid interface. Interacts with glutathione (GSH).GSH regenerates DHA to ascorbic acid, vitamin C spares GSH by handling water-soluble radicals. Indirectly aids superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and peroxidase enzymes. This recycling amplifies protection, so vitamin C acts as a “sacrifice” antioxidant, getting regenerated by others. Overall, it’s such as a great antioxidant that’s shown to improve: Sperm Count/Concentration (supplementation increases count from ~14 to ~33 million/mL after 2 months at 1g/day). Motility (from ~31% to ~60%). Morphology (from ~43% to ~67%). DNA Integrity (reduced fragmentation). Now at physiological levels, vitamin C is purely antioxidant, but at pharmacological concentrations (achievable only via IV, not oral), it becomes pro-oxidant: In extracellular fluid, ascorbate reduces transition metals (Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺), generating hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) via Fenton-like reactions. Cancer cells (high labile iron, low catalase) are vulnerable to H₂O₂-induced apoptosis, while normal cells handle it better. This underpins high-dose IV vitamin C as an adjunct cancer therapy. Vitamin C also plays crucial roles is in the synthesis of collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, accounting for approximately 30% of total protein content. Collagen provides structural support and strength to our: Skin: Provides elasticity, firmness, and barrier function; supports wound healing and reduces aging signs. Blood Vessels: Maintains integrity to prevent fragility and hemorrhage. Bones and Cartilage: Forms organic matrix for mineralization and joint cushioning. Gums and Teeth: Anchors teeth and prevents periodontal issues. Tendons/Ligaments: Ensures flexibility and strength. So without adequate vitamin C, all of these will take a hit. Vitamin C’s impact on the immune system isqiote multifaceted, extending far beyond the popular notion of “preventing colds.” It supports both innate (immediate, non-specific) and adaptive (targeted, memory-based) immunity, acting as an immune modulator, protector and enhancer. Immune cells actively accumulate vitamin C via SVCT transporters, reaching concentrations 10–100 times higher than in plasma which highlights its critical role during infection or stress. Some key mechanisms in innate immunity include: Epithelial barriers: Vitamin C strengthens skin and mucosal barriers through collagen synthesis and antioxidant protection, reducing pathogen entry. Phagocyte function (neutrophils, macrophages): Enhances chemotaxis (migration to infection sites), phagocytosis (engulfing pathogens), and the respiratory burst (producing ROS to kill microbes). Simultaneously, its antioxidant properties protect phagocytes from self-damage by excess ROS. Natural killer (NK) cells: Boosts activity for early viral defense. Some key mechanisms in adaptive immunity include: Lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation: Promotes T-cell (especially CD8+ cytotoxic) and B-cell growth, antibody production, and memory formation. Antibody production: Supports higher immunoglobulin levels. Redox regulation: Maintains optimal intracellular environment for signaling pathways (NF-κB modulation for example). It’s also crucial for bile synthesis, as it helps convert cholesterol into bile acids with the help of 7-alpha-hydroxylase and a cofactor for 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), converting 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to homogentisate in tyrosine/phenylalanine breakdown. Number 12: Zinc carnosine (with copper). In general, our bodies need anywhere from 15-20mg of zinc per day since we do not store a lot of zinc, there’s a small exchangeable pools (liver, pancreas, bones), but the turnover is fast (the half-life is few days), so you need a daily intake. Now, without zinc, the body can not: -Inhibit viral replication -Lower ACE-2’s affinity to viruses -Activate thymulin and DNA synthesis in thymocytes -Cleave off glycoproteins from certain viruses (even COVID) -Produce and utilize macrophages, DC, NK, MMPs, B and T cells effectively but also proteins such as A20 -Stabilize the sperm cell membrane and nuclear chromatin -Stabilize IR signaling and insulin storage -Synthesize Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone (TRH) in the hypothalamus and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) in the pituitary gland. -Regenerate intestinal epithelial cells -Bind to the NR2A/NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor and block excess glutamate excitotoxicity -Activate GPR39 on neurons Now of course other relatively cheap supplements can work quite well such as quercetin, luteolin, whole food vitamin E, P5P, B3, B2, B9, certain pro, pre and postbiotics and so on.

I tried Selank peptide for the first time yesterday, it gave me a calm, focus. I got it in nasal spray form. First time trying any peptide and I plan on trying more.

@BasedBiohacker I've had a torn abdominal muscle for 5 years. Onky thing that will fix it is surgery, I'm told. Does this have any chance at fixing it you think?

i dove into the BPC-157 rabbithole and it goes WAY beyond just injuries and gut health: - dopamine system restoration shown to reverse dopamine depletion and receptor desensitization caused by chronic hard stimulant use - alcohol damage reversal studies show bpc-157 counteracts the toxic effects of alcohol on the liver, stomach lining, and brain simultaneously - corneal healing and eye tissue repair bpc-157 has shown accelerated recovery of ocular surface damage - counteracting NSAID-induced gut damage one of the only compounds that works protectively alongside anti-inflammatories rather than being antagonized by them - fistula healing shown in studies to accelerate closure of intestinal fistulas, which are notoriously difficult to treat clinically - overtraining syndrome recovery systemic anti-inflammatory and angiogenic effects make it uniquely suited for athletes who have pushed past recovery capacity with things like pt - hair follicle vascularization vegf upregulation improves blood supply to follicles, supporting hair density and growth in diffuse thinning - periodontal and gum tissue repair accelerates oral tissue healing, documented in dental research that almost nobody references - nerve damage repair shown to accelerate peripheral nerve regeneration after injury, including crush injuries, through vegf and growth factor upregulation - IBS and IBD symptom reduction beyond just ulcers it addresses the underlying gut lining integrity and inflammatory environment driving both conditions - post-surgical recovery acceleration systemic tissue healing and angiogenesis make it a compelling adjunct to any surgical recovery protocol - scar tissue remodeling promotes organized collagen deposition rather than disorganized scar formation, improving both function and appearance of healed tissue - blood pressure normalization through nitric oxide modulation, shown to have bidirectional blood pressure effects, raising it when too low, lowering it when too high - traumatic brain injury recovery neuroprotective and angiogenic effects shown in animal models of TBI, promoting structural repair beyond just symptom management - leaky gut driven mood disorders by restoring gut barrier integrity and reducing LPS translocation into circulation, indirectly addressing neuroinflammation-driven depression and anxiety one of very few compounds that deserve the word "healing". not medical advice... us: yourprotocol.co/products/bpc?s… eu + global: mandimart.eu/en-se/products… uk: mandimart.co.uk/products/resto…

@aestheticprimal Dont have access to peptides in the country I am in.

@aestheticprimal I tried tyrosine and didn't like it, made me anxious while NAC with glycine does the oppositr, take those 2 daily. I read Royal Jelly is high in tyrosine, I'm still considering trying it. Should I avoid it or still give it a try? Something to boost dopamine would be good.

Current Dopamine enhancement stack extra fire to crush objectives (and actually chase the right objectives) - 5mL Cerebrolysin (EOD) - 2-4 IU Intranasal insulin (almost daily) - 2g+ royal jelly (daily) - 10-15mg 9-me-bc (daily) below is why👇

@danheld I bought it at 7 dollars to use on the Silk Road, sold all of them at around $220 years later.

No. You wouldn't have bought Bitcoin at $10.

@paraguayenjoyer I was walking near downtown and the river last fall and it went from kind of nice to rundown fast. I kept walking because there was a park nearby and the river. A guy stopped me and told me not to go any further, that the area straight ahead is a no go zone.

PARAGUAY GOVERNMENT IS FUNDING AND EXPANDING FAVELAS ALL AROUND ASUNCIÓN 🚨 Red areas are crime-filled ugly hellholes full of illegal "houses" of people who live subsidized and protected by the state, while infesting with trash and drugs. Instead of eliminating this horror, the government is building massive new suburbs (in green the biggest one yet) to give for FREE to these "people". Every time they did this, the new owners sold or rented their new social houses and kept living in their misery. This is happening all around Asunción, rewarding criminals with the BEST SPOTS with river view and proximity to the center, while hard working people are pushed further outside of the city. but it's not stopping here: social houses are being built all over Paraguay, draining resources from repairing roads and cleaning the cities. The neighbourhoods close to these FAVELAS are suffering the most, since crackheads, drug-dealers and "homeless" wandering around throwing garbage and smelling horribly. Thieves are not even prosecuted and the police don't even try to enter these NO-GO ZONES. New projects of FREE HOUSES FOR "POORS" are being announced, funded and built, surrounding the city and destroying all the natural beauty closest to the river. Many influencers have been shilling Paraguay as an "anti-socialist paradise" but this is the sad reality and it doesn't look like this is going to stop.
