After seeing other threads in which people talk about waking up in the comments, I thought I’d make a post on just that. Would be interesting to see each members story on here and see if a particular event woke you up. Here’s mine:
I used to think that the government officials were just stupid and needed to be shown things in order to operate more efficiently. I used to think that in general, most of them wanted what was best for this country and it’s citizens. Boy was I wrong.
Back in the late 90’s I believe, I attended a second amendment sisters rally. It was a counter rally to the million mom march in DC that day. A friend and I held up a huge sign all day that read “Criminals love gun control, it gives them a safe work environment “ After the rally we all marched down towards the MMM rally with them heckling us all the way. I encountered some very deranged women that day who held no value over their own lives. I literally tried to have a conversation with a woman who said she would rather be raped and killed herself than to have her neighbor defend her with a firearm. I was literally stunned by this statement and speechless. I knew our conversation was over at that point.
What changed me that day though was that I was handed a libertarian newspaper by someone. One of the main articles exposed the inside connection to the Oklahoma City bombing and why it was done. When I read the details of that story a light bulb went off in my head and I had a paradigm shift. From that day on I knew most of our government hates us, wants to destroy our livelihood and freedom, and has nothing but contempt for us. From then on I researched all I could and became more awake everyday. I know I would have eventually awakened from something else, maybe 9/11, but I’m glad it happened so many years ago now.
What’s your story?
it starts local: Buddy got in a car accident, other drivers fault clear as day, report from the news was completely fabricated. I was unable to find any truth to the reporting and it was clear they just made it up. Once you see it is a lie, the gig is up, and you see the lies everywhere.
My wife is a normie still by definition. The daycare we sent our kids too suddenly has news about charges against the owner. Rumors of molestation because of a criminal charge. News goes nuts with the story. When you dig in, the owner picked up a 4 year old boy that was being violent to try to stop him. The charge the parents filed is the same charge that can indicate sexual abuse. So the news ran with the sexual abuse. In the article they reference an employee that was investigated years ago. Investigation proved she was being 100% appropriate with witnesses to the event in quesiton and even video recordings. But the recent story leaves this part out. She was furious that she had to do all this research on a misleading article because she was scared our children had gone there. But she sees now...she is where i was years ago after friends accident. She is seeing the lies. It takes time to go from this point to "oh no, it is all a lie" i am just giving her the time.
