You have some great posts in this thread, fren. I, too, was red pilled a long time ago and have been slowly losing "friends" or acquaintenances when they realized I didn't believe the narrative being fed to us; the media lies, that Obama wasn't a savior, that many of the events we were seeing were "inside jobs", etc. I learned to not push people too far with what I talked about, only when they pushed me did I let them know where I stood, and that was usually enough to label me a "conspiracy theorist" or "right-wing nutjob". This goes beyond Left vs. Right, as you know.

Perhaps that's why I am able to be patient as this plays out, though I do admit to REALLY wanting to see some big name shithead get taken down publicly.
