I'm sure with the gathering of autists that there is on alt-tech I'm not the only one who's had this realisation. Some of us have it worse than others but I thought it would be amusing to compare notes, how vegan and leftist infested is your circle or are you surrounded by normies who hate life? What massively sets you apart in terms of your hobbies and general habits? I realised one of the things that sets me apart from even the normies is just what I even think about day to day and it's why I can't gel with them at all even though we're not at each other's throats and everything.
. I don't watch television or listen to the radio ( That's a big one )
. I enjoy red meat
. I like cooking ( For some reason people seem to really hate it depending )
. I like driving ( Again, people view this as a chore and I don't, they don't seem to regard using a vehicle as anything vaguely enjoyable )
. I exercise regularly and recognise I should probably be doing a bit more so I have some self-awareness on my own health
It's not even necessarily about politics but isn't it fucking weird how ideology has now become a thing when it comes to certain hobbies because leftists especially are that against it? I am of course thinking about how eating red meat and exercise and the leftist weirdos out there are trying to declare that far right.
Another thing I'm doing which is financially realistic for me is getting a 50cc moped to buzz around in which yes is silly but very practical for someone like me. Car insurance is going to be unaffordable or a total drain on finances for what it is in the UK so I'm seriously considering it and reviewing potential travel plans so I'm not as much of an anti-social fuck this year and onward.
Less so by the day. I used to get a head shake and a "don't SAY things like that" about stuff I now get an exasperated eye roll and reluctant accusations of exaggeration rather than fabrication.
You have to do it slowly if you're trying to turn people. A breadcrumb here, a baby red pill there drop a bomb and retreat back to little deviations.
That's how it's always done, you must have to learn to do it. Picking your targets is half th3 battle, but it's easily doable.
As much as we (and I agree) that pointing out the double standards is largely pointless because everyone already knows about them, there ARE topics that normies genuinely haven't heard of, and if you can build towards those points and be the first to inform them
Here's an example, Bloomberg just published a piece on SWATing, great example of "Oh NOW its a problem" but because I'd laid the groundwork I was able to be ahead of it with my boomercon family
The groundwork was scaring them about online predators after an incident with a family friend months ago, convincing them to finnaly privatize and annonmize their social media accounts. That's an easy transition to th3 dangers of doxxing and why it's a special kind of bad action. Now I can tell them thay Bloomberg is carrying water for shitting politicians by pretending it's some brand new right wing troll tactic, when in actuality it's been the opposite for ages.
Then you just have to pick your battles.
