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… 🙄
Eugh, I had a whole reply written out, explaining it, but then lost it…
Essentially I think it comes down to “Shared suffering”, or “sunk cost fallacy”, as in, they’re all vaccinated, suffered the side effects, and they feel I should have to, too, unfortunately…
My cousin had to jump through numerous hoops to get back into the country, and then to get into the state. AND the booster made her really sick, too. Unfortunately I guess they all figure that “If we have to suffer, so should you”…
Sad, really… 😑
You know what’s weird (to me), though? I’m seeing the same attitude in LockdownSkepticismAU, now. Like, “We’re vaxxed and suffered, so should you!” And that’s in a community that’s supposedly “on our side”, even if it is a bit of a potential honeypot…
That honestly worries me more, if that is all that is left of “the resistance”, in Aus…
I doubt it. I am absolutely sure that at least 95% would still take the vaccine with today's knowledge. It is just pure fear and an attempt at feeling superior to others. Probably more of the latter - since if the triple-boosted concubine felt that you really were dangerous, she probably would not sit there to get yelled back at by you.
So did he join in?
You can be vaccinated and against a lockdown though. It is easy for them to convince themselves that the reason that there are lockdowns is because people 'refuse' to get vaccinated.
It’s a she, but honestly, nah… I thought she might, but I really think she was more surprised to see me arc up so much about it.
I’m not the kind of person to actively yell “I’m unvaccinated!!” in an environment like that, or to get openly angry, unless someone really pisses me off (as this women did, when she kept pushing and pushing), partly because when I rage, I really, really rage…
I don’t think my cousin had ever seen me stand up like that before, lol. I usually just suck up whatever bullshit my family says, and brush it off. But that strategy clearly hasn’t worked, and besides, this bitch pushed too far, lol…
But nah, cuz really just demanded to know “Why?”, and “What’s your stance on it?”
I tried to answer (to my cousin), but psycho bitch (uncle’s partner) just yelled over the top of me, and told me everything I said was wrong… So I basically just told her to shut the fuck up, and that I didn’t give a shit what she thought, and left it at that, lololol…
Stupid bitch then wouldn’t even look me in the face, after that, and didn’t even say goodbye when we all parted ways! 😂
My cousin waited for me, in the restaurant, after the whole rest of my whole family bailed, while I was taking a piss. I guess that says something. She’s a decent person, I think. Better than the others, anyway. 🤷🏻♂️
But I’m used to that sort of… Lack of consideration, from the others. I’ve been left behind while they all got taxis home, before, without me, lol.
Yep…
At least you got under her rotting skin.
Weird family.
