Oh yeah, I was referring to people I know being afraid to upset strangers.

But yeah, it's harder with friends and family. I've had to write off some friends, too. Even tougher to do with family members. You definitely go through the stages of loss realizing people you cared about would use the government to force your freedoms away if they could.

For me, I hope those people can be reached eventually, but I'm not counting on it. I'm just focused now on building new circles of people I can count on not to abandon every tenet of Western civilization at the very first sign of trouble, haha.
