I have some normie relatives who belatedly developed TDS from Facebook slop.
The worst part is how emboldened they are to randomly insert their TDS takes unsolicitedly into polite conversation.
If you call them out on their BS, they concede nothing, things get mildly heated then 3rd parties tell you to "stop fighting". Then the very next opportunity, the instigating party starts REEEing about the evil Drumpf spontaneously again.
If you bite your tongue, things go smoother. But you feel like a cuck & they infect all the other NPCs around you with their Facebook TDS agitprop. Which gets swallowed without an ounce of critical thought.
The worst part is that I end up wasting so much social capital defending that Zioshill Trump that I fucking hate for completely different reasons.
This is 100% my experience. I just don't even bother because they sound stupid AF. I roast them a little but mostly just let them rant because everyone else is getting tired of the political sperging.
And you're right, you're wasting energy defending zognald. These people just have layers upon layers of retard built up until I just don't even bother trying to unpack anymore. If someone is that lost I'm just moving on, they don't even see being murdered or raped as a problem, they are so far gone. These are people that won't call 911 to report being mugged because of muh racism
The saddest thing is that these people weren't always like this. I have very fond memories of them for decades prior being mostly apolitical.
It's so strange that they developed TDS so late in the cycle. We're talking 2024 at the earliest.
It's definitely all a product of the Facebook slop algo too. I'm talking about boomers & GenXers who constantly quote & source things directly from their doomscroll timeline in between recipe suggestions, doggo clips & content from their odd foreign Netflix content obsessions.
Its true, although most have slid into it earlier with earlier stages of it all, now Its just more complete and deranged.
That's the problems with all these made up divisive issues, they take a community and dash it to the rocks because half its members are obsessed with random crap like Israel vs Palestine or trump vs biden or NATO or Russia when really we need a simple community where people bond together.
It's so true.
