I’m living with my parents during COVID and going to school online. They’re both highly educated and intelligent professionals (one went to an Ivy League school at 17, the other was summa cum laude). They’ve both fallen hard for the COVID crap and TDS, and it’s just sad (and stressful). When I mentioned that I’m a little nervous about the vaccine because it’s so new and the side effects aren’t proven to be worth the risk, it was met with scorn and ridicule. They both think that everything’s going to be much better now with Democrats controlling everything. They both think that Scandinavia is socialist, and because of it they support socialism. Thanks for helping me stay sane over the past year, y’all.
Edit: just for the record, we’re Jews in an extremely liberal city. God only knows how they gave birth to someone like me.
How the fuck is regurgitating textbooks "intelligence?" Do they actively seek out to learn more? They probably know nothing about the Pfizer leaks which confirm the vaccine is actually useless.
I know somebody who works at Gulag and he's the dumbest shit I've ever come across. That's what you get with social betas who follow herd mentality. "Ivy League" means nothing when you can just bribe your way in.
It burns more calories thinking for yourself than just following whatever hearsay your idiot peers feed you.
If by learning more, you mean constantly looking for updates on the latest supposed body count from COVID, then sure. But I know what you’re getting at and no, of course not. They don’t seem to think that MSM could possibly ever be lying by omission, or that critical race theory/intersectionality could be anything but beneficent.
Maybe it’s for the best that I’ve never had much in the way of friends - I might have fallen into the herd mentality and ended up just like them.
Maybe that’s why I’m always hungry?
You could try and show them this. No idea if it will make a dent in the indoctrination. https://youtu.be/OoeCB0MudgA
Education has nothing to do with their leftism. The most highly educated people I know are the stupidest leftists. Most frequently, these are people who only pay a glancing attention to current events. They'll find out what'll make them seem the coolest, hippest and most popular around their circle. They'll make sure to be seen supporting the most virtuous (neediest, marginalized and/or pathetic) in any current buzzy, trendy topic, and off they'll go!
They don't usually have any heartfelt connection to any issues because their ephemeral, easily bored or distracted minds are simply too undisciplined for fact-gathering. So, they just rely on what's told to them and they'll happily parrot all the proper phrases and positions to project an appearance of being with the righteous crowd (and not those mean, deplorable, contrarian subversives). How do they know we're mean, deplorable, contrarian or subversive? Their media herders tell them we are.
You're welcome.
Dont worey kiddo...most people go left because, its the feel good party, they mean well, just not honest enough with themselves to achieve it. Youll be outa there soon enough.
I hope so, I don’t know how much longer I can stand it. It’s funny how after you’ve been away from your parents for a while and you start living with them again, you start noticing all this stuff that you never realized you hated.
It's the path of least resistance, nothing more to it.
