I don’t know how I became so… “Blackpilled”. Where exactly my “skepticism” came from…
I’ve had a fucking tough life, and I’ve seen the dark side of “compliance culture”, and the medico-industrial industry. Or maybe I just have a natural “aversion to authority”, and bullshit rules, after being abused and bullied all my life. Who fucking knows? But regardless I am very much the only one in my entire extended family who questions this shit…
Tonight, I was forced into an extended family dinner, mostly to see my cousin, who has been living in the US (LA, now NYC), for years, and who I haven’t seen since 2016 or so… And also an uncle who I haven’t seen in some years.
Anyway, so the restaurant insists that you wear a mask, walking in, until you sit down… Utterly absurd, and even my v compliant father called it out.
Then comes dinner. Uncle (not the one who I haven’t seen in years) has brought his new “partner” along…
She is… Horrible. Going on about how “horrible” (poor) tenants are, and how they “abuse” her daughter, who works in property management, and refuses to fix their leaking apartments, in the shit part of town…
This is alarming enough. But then she somehow asks about my “vaccination status”. I say the truth, that I have had one dose. She goes absolutely off her tits… Calls me “dangerous”, and “immature”. “Irresponsible”, “cruel” and “stupid”. Tells me I am literally killing people in nursing homes…
I finally fucking exploded. This woman doesn’t know me. She has absolutely no right to give me an earful. Yet she escalates and escalates, and at one point I honestly thought she would fucking physically assault me, at the table…
I’m utterly disgusted by this. And so I fucking stand my ground. But then the rest of my family turns on me. She makes it about her. “Oh woe is me!” Literally said, “I’m not judging you, though you ARE irresponsible, but you’d better not be judging me for being TRIPLE VACCINATED!”
I literally didn’t bring it up once. Yet SHE was the “victim”. Fucking unbelievable… 🙄
I think there's two sides of this. The first doesn't actually know what's going on, and think the protests are wimps. They went through the difficulties just fine, and the dictatorship is a distance away. I see that a lot when discussing the Pacific Northwest with people in Orlando. They don't know about emperor Inslee or Trudeau.
The other side is those who think they are helping. The riots weren't that bad, or needed to happen for the greater cause. They could live in the CHOP while their house is on fire and not want to move. They are helping, and the suffering is worth it.
Add in the weirdness of disassociation with disaster and you have the two connecting together. The riots in Portland were only in one area, it was just an emergency reaction that nearly closed down Powell's and every food cart. They don't realize the pictures of riots and their nice home life are interconnected. They can't associate the two, so one must be wrong.
I recall being lectured by a leftist (who should be smarter than that, but is willfully blind to various facts, outright rejecting them no matter what the proof is) that ALL of Portland's arsons were "in one square block" and nothing more. This was based on a single 'article' stating that with an image of flames in a small square block.
This was actually culled from a report on a 3-night (iirc) series of riots in that neighborhood. That report was about only that neighborhood. Dozens of fires in a very small area. A quick look at the Official Portland Fire Department's arson page shows fires all over the downtown, and surrounding areas being hit as well.
He didn't believe me :/ He still thinks Travyon Martin was 'just buying candy' and Michael Brown was 'just walking down the street' too...
What's even weirder is how many people in Portland believe this.
Many people just don't want to be wrong and will ignore everything that shows them to be wrong.
I sent a family member a link to the 3+ hour long Malone-Rogan interview, at her request for "any information that backs up your claims", and 20 minutes later she responded saying she "read" everything I sent her and linked me to a Legacy Media piece about how Malone is wrong and is a liar.
I tried challenging her but she just kept pointing back to the Legacy Media spears of Malone.
She's a proudly triple vaxxed mother with 2 double vaxxed children who has no idea what is actually going on and doesn't want to know. She just wants to be right, and to her being right is being accepted by the majority and going along with whatever bullshit she thinks other people are going along with.
Very true. Once you've chosen a side, it's hard to give up. This is where everything gets treated like a sport, instead of actual news.
