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… 🙄
Cheers for this. One thing though - it’s MY family, not hers… 😛
She’s just my uncle’s latest “girlfriend” (cringe). The like, third one in five years or so…
He goes through women more regularly than I do…
But yeh, so, toxic though they may be, I’m their “flesh and blood”… She’s just some Karen bitch plus one who was invited along I presume out of pity, and as “arm candy” for my pathetic middle aged uncle…
An interloper. Who had absolutely no right to blast me in front of family I hadn’t seen in years…
Honestly, in a sense it was good, because it made her look like a fucking psychotic retard. Knowing my uncle, she won’t be his “date”, when I see him again in a year’s time, and, morally dubious though it may be to do so, it gives me some degree of satisfaction that me holding my ground, and allowing her to implode like this, may have contributed, lol…
I wouldn’t say she was necessarily a “leftist”, though. More a horrifyingly elitist, tribalism snob, who had spent the previous ten minutes shitting on poor people who can’t afford rent, or to do up their rented properties, while bragging about her daughter moving to a resort city (the Gold Coast), while her daughter’s friend moves to New York to work for Coachella…
Yeah, I shut you not. A real “piece of work” if ever I saw one, lol…
Also said she would rather come face to face with a snake than a rat, which is, as an Australian, actually one of the dumbest things I have heard in some time… 🙄
Yeah… Ah, Karens…
Yeahhhhh. It might have been fair to say something along the lines of "shut the fuck up, you're not even family", but it would be more trouble than it's worth.
There's not really a difference. The ideology is mostly used as an excuse to enable bad behavior. Particularly the behavior you saw, which is why it's good to stand up to it.
