It’s quite jarring. Being redpilled is shocking enough as it is, but it’s an isolating feeling when you try to get people close to you to understand and they refuse to even engage with you. It’s also insulting when they think YOU’RE the ignorant one. Bitch, do you know how much effort and research I’ve done in order to come to my conclusions? These people gets spoon fed shit from the MSM and think they’re the enlighten ones. Smh.
It’s a common tactic of the left. Reminds me of the frontline doctors taking about the efficacy of HCQ. They slammed that one African lady for her beliefs in Satanic aliens or some shit. Like, ok, maybe she have some weird spiritual beliefs. But she is a legit MD who have treated hundreds of patients successfully....so what does one have to do with another?
Yes! The inconsistency is one of the things that redpilled me about this whole covid thing. Everybody stay home! Save a life! But then you have a bunch of medical professionals and epidemiologists coming out and say, "oh but BLM protests should be allowed to happen because that fighting racism is for the good of public health!" Dafaq?!
Also, casinos, liquor stores and weed shops can be opened, but not churches?! That is some arbitrary bullshit.
Seriously. If shit was really as bad as they say it is, you won't see people packed into Costco and Target. Even in my blue cucked states, people arent doing the stupid six feet thing anymore (for the most part, there's always retarded exceptions). Some stores aren't even following limits on number of customers anymore.
Fuck these arbitrary rules that the politicians have put in place. People will naturally adjust their behavior to the actual threat of the situation. They don't need some skeezy governor telling them how to "keep safe".
When I was a teen in a youth after school program, we went around in circles stating our name and the origins of it as an ice breaker. This one chick’s name was Sha’Lay because when her mom was pregnant with her, she liked to eat Lays. Lol that shit stuck with me forever, it’s just ridiculous.
It’s laziness and pride for the people I know. They think people like us are crazy, but they’re unwilling to even check out the other side. We’ve been on their side, we know their arguments, and yet we’re considered the close minded ones. Smh.
Yeah at a certain point it’s actually healthier to cut off those types of people because they want to drag you down with them into the pits of despair. My best friend is on Instagram applauding Newsom for placing curfews and placing more restrictions on everyone. I can’t even deal with people like her anymore.
And she considers herself an “influencer” (blech), so a big part of this is like a trend for her (just like BLM, defund the police, etc). All while patting herself on her back for being so heroic for her self imposed home imprisonment (it’s been more than half a year and she’s still at it!). I understand where she’s coming from, but at the same time it has made me lose respect for people like her because it really does seem they WANT to be scared.
Amen to that! Fr, all my friends are young and healthy and they are all pussies. Of course they think I’m the crazy one who just want to live life like a regular person.
Its annoying enough that they’re scared little punks, but nooooo, they have to also SHAME you for not being as scared as they are. They’re haughty and so full of themselves and look down on you because they think you’re evil and want to kill grandma.
Similar story here. Haven’t quite lost them yet, but there is definitely a rift now that I don’t know if it’ll ever be repaired. It’s amplified issues that I’ve been able to ignore before. Maybe it’s a good thing, because it’s made me realized that maybe our friendship was not as strong as I thought it was.
I tried to enlighten my coworker a few months back with numbers from the CDC on the number of deaths. Thought I got through her a bit, but then overheard her freaking out about people not masking up in stores. In her case, she's just not a very smart person.
