When normal people ask my about politics I've started telling them "I can't stand most people and try to live as far away from them as I can so they can't bother me. I like my neighbors and just try to make my neighborhood a better place to live". Which is all true, and it lets them fill in the blanks as to which people with what politics are doing the "bothering". And it's especially true now that politics don't matter anymore.
I speak from experience that if you go off about "totalitarian hellholes" and "medical fascism" or anything like that, people just think you're crazy. If they like you you'll be "that buddy of mine who's kinda out there"; and people will try to get you to start drinking so they can hear you say crazy shit. If they don't like you they'll probably just stop talking to you.
Think about the very first time you heard Alex Jones or someone on the Art Bell (F) show say something. How did you react to that? That's how people are going to react to you. Hell even Art Bell on his show reacted negatively to things some of us believe. Think about how outside the Overton Window you'd have to be for Art Bell to think you're nuts. That's where we are.
October 22, 1997, the "Officer X" episode if for some reason that link gets removed.
The part that starts to piss Art off is around the 2:23:00 mark. Caller (calls himself the "NRA hippie") states that global warming is used as an excuse to turn US sovereignty over to the UN, talks about us having troops in over 100 countries, criticizes Clinton for starting military engagements despite being a draft dodger himself, calls Bill Clinton a murderer for Waco.
Part that gets the caller booted off the show starts at about 2:25:15, when he says global warming will be used to "destroy the sovereignty of our Constitutional Republic and to drive our standard of living down to that of some mud-hut third-world country"
Personally I find little about that I disagree with, except I don't think it's the UN. Maybe he could have phrased it better, but the phrasing wasn't the only thing Art objects to. Called it the "standard ideological myopic view of somebody on the far right"
