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… 🙄
Literally unironically yes. If the ABC claimed it was “necessary”, my parents, and at least one uncle who was present (partner of Karen) would support that, no joke… 😑
I think we had to watch that, too, at a similar age… I honestly zonked that whole section of curriculum (I don’t think my school had to obey the national curriculum, at least at that point), but I do remember that much, too…
I don’t think I felt guilty, after it, either. More just horribly sad, lol.
My mother, incidentally, is retraining to be a teacher, as her mid life crisis… As part of the teaching unit, she brought home some of the woke “localized” materials they are expected to teach…
It was… Frankly alarming.
Odd how they focus on only the sob stories, and completely ignore the good stories of “positive interactions” and/or “cultural preservation”…
Funny that. 🤔
What did Howard say? A “black armband” view of history? That’s my family to a fucking tee. Peter Garrett-listening, latte-sipping, ABC and SBS-viewing, China-loving, immigrant-worshipping morons.
Not that all those things are necessarily bad, but you get the idea, in combination, lol…
