I’m done trying to educate family and friends… about fake news, false flags, hidden agendas, plots to enslave the world, satanic ritual abuse, and on and on. And even though I believe we are on the cusp of “a great awakening” (spiritual and otherwise), I have nothing left to share. Most of my family just thinks, oh there she goes again, just listen and smile. We’ll bash Trump and get the vaccine when she’s not around, poor girl, she’s brainwashed – but one day she’ll get it. They follow all the major news channels, read all the “reputable” magazines, follow the guidance about masks, vaccines, distancing… with no clue they are endangering themselves and the world by compliance. It hurts to witness.
Now I’m in a relatively new area of the country, moved from CA to the bible belt, where the vast majority of people are very obedient to the "law”. There are definitely clued-in people here too, and definitely some patriots – and for that I’m grateful; yet, trying to share any info about vaccine alternatives or dangers of wearing masks get me demonized on Nextdoor.app as if I’m endangering everyone with “debunked” claims, pointing back to their “reputable” sources. I see a few people that agree, but otherwise are afraid to join in because of what they see happen to me. So sad!
Argh! Yikes!!! DAMN!!!!
I think all I can do now is figure out how I’m going to help them when they get sick and learn the truth. Bless those who are able to continue the fight for freedom.
As others in here have said, it's all about taking the opportunity when it arises, not forcing the conversation or demanding people accept what you say. As the saying goes, "you can lead them to water, but cannot force them to drink." The time to educate is when good hearted curiosity is at its peak, and its often when they present the question to you after they found something themselves. People know your stance, and when they are genuinely curious about it and ask for any explanations, do it gracefully while also giving them the tools they need to further their newfound understanding. Be socratic, ask them if they understand what they are saying.
The best advice is the top comment here, just keep building your ark and warn others of rain; the storm is coming either way.
