When we ask ourselves how can these people stand for what is going on before their very eyes. How can they defend these looters, rioters, and straight up murdering people on the streets. We ask ourselves "How did it get this bad?"
It's because of people like my mother. She was buying the narrative hook line and sinker and was texting me about it. I countered by asking if she wanted to see the videos and sent them to her. After awhile she eventually answers me back saying "Whether he shot in self defense does not much matter". There was a bunch of other stuff but I couldn't be bothered to read it. It all seemed like massive bullshit. Another rant from her trying to goad me into an argument. She's been crazy for my whole life but now I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to go do what my brother has done and just stop talking to her. She literally will defend these crazies.
I wish this wasn't the case but I don't think I can help her. I honestly believe she's lost and beyond saving. I'm just done with trying to lead a horse to water that won't drink. I'm just done friends, I'm just so tired of it.
Sorry, fren. Some people are the kind of blind that simply refuses to see. They could see, but they choose not to. It's very difficult to make sense of that. Well, we can't make sense of it. I'm sorry you feel like you have to give up on her, but maybe that's just what you have to do. At least for a time. Maybe not forever.
If you're a praying pede, pray for her. If you're not a praying pede, start praying. The caveat is that each one of us has freedom of choice, and just as some people choose not to be red-pilled and believe in God, some people choose not to see societal reality and become politically red-pilled. For someone to say it 'doesn't matter much' that someone was defending themself - well, that doesn't even make sense. Sounds like she might have some mental issues and that's probably bigger than you and your brother can deal with.
I know what it's like to have a mother who makes no sense. It's not a pleasant way to go through life, but sometimes you don't have much of a choice in the matter. Some people are just too toxic to keep in your life, even if they are family.
I wish you well, pede. As someone else said, we're your family now. Try to give yourself a few days to cool off and if you still feel this way, perhaps go ahead and pull away from her for a while. Who knows, maybe she will come to her senses. Maybe somebody else or some other event will red-pill her. All the best to you, pede.
Thanks friend, I'm not a godly man but I always welcome proper strong religious friends. I think it had to do with the church I grew up in feeling so fake and my parents insane relationship that killed quite a bit of that. That and she always keeps talking about forgiving people as part of the religion when some things really aren't forgivable. That and the whole I am you mother speech about having to listen to her when I'm a literal adult.
You're right about her being broken. I've told her to go to therapy and her responses range from "You and your brother are the ones with the problem" to "I'm not strong enough to do it".
She's been off since the day I was brought into this world and I don't have the energy to try with her. I'm not dismissing that there is any hope but it's the same amount of hope I have that she'll actually get help for her mental problems.
Sorry if I'm just kinda unloading here.
That's alright. We can handle it. Sometimes when you talk about your problems, you find people with similar issues. It helps. Yeah, keep your head up and forge on. Hopefully she'll have her eyes opened, but even if that doesn't happen, at least your own eyes are open. Btw, if you'd like to talk about God, I'd be glad to talk with you. I'm not 'religious' either, but I do believe. I'd love to red-pill you for God. Just DM me if you'd like to talk.
We can only hope, but I think I might have to emotionally distance myself from her for a bit at the very least.
