Just venting here to people who might understand... My friends and much of my family are so lost to the manipulation and brain washing. They are such good hearted people and that’s why they cling to the BLM narrative and support leftist policies, they believe that is how to best help others. I’m trying to help them see what’s going on but they are living in a completely different reality.
I feel so helpless watching them live in fear and stress and constant outrage over lies and misdirection.
These are people I love who have helped me through the worst days of my life.
When I try to show them the facts, they don’t want to see. I think it’s too terrifying to realize that maybe everything they believe is a lie.
I can’t tell them how I truly feel because I don’t want to lose them. I know some will say that makes them not worth it, but these are people I can’t give up on. I owe it to them to try to make them see before outing myself as one of the “bad guys” in their world.
I feel so angry at the media and everyone contributing to the false narratives. Anywhere providing actual facts is labeled “alt-right” and instantly discredited.
I have a lot of work to do to undo the insanity. I guess I can’t expect a lifetime of brainwashing to be undone overnight. It took me about a year to unbrainwash myself and it was hard.
Anybody got any success stories of saving friends or family?
I'm actually on the other hand, a right leaning friend of mine on Friday had told me that Jacob Blake's "murder"(Yes, I corrected him.) wasn't justified, and that it would have been better off if the cops didn't shoot, to which I informed him of the 21 feet rule, as well as providing video evidence of knives in much further scenarios outclassing firearms.
He also started believing that the 'Covid' would kill his parents if he brought it home. He's only about 25 so his parents aren't at the age risk, and their conditions are not likely to lead to fatality with Covid.
At that point I had to stop before I punched him in the face, I hate to see people throw away their minds like this, but some people can't be saved, especially when they start falling for the lies. He also tried to make the claim that Rittenhouse was a white supremacist who went out shooting protestors. To which I replied that the Rioters he had shot had physically attacked him.
He was using leftist logic, the circle logic that tries to win an argument by citing more failed sources.
Earlier in that week, he had mentioned that we shouldn't be glorifying pedophiles, he somehow tried to work around the fact that Jacob Blake was a pedophile RAPIST.
I know this isn't helping the cause, but I'm afraid sometimes things are best let go. I'm going to keep trying to remind him he's wrong, and hopefully drive the nail home when I can. I think the problem is, you need an intervention, fully. A Room of Red Pills.
Good luck. The Covid thing is scary IF you believe the msm. Fear is powerful. Especially if you fear death.
