There are a few people I know who got the Vax who regret it and are NOT arrogant pricks. But people who actually aren't assholes who are vax nuts are few and far between. It wouldn't be so bad if people had a LITTLE humility. But they are SO FRICKEN ARROGANT! They don't listen. Its like theyre aggressively stupid. This is what PISSES me off about them the most. They're just shitty people. They think they're intelligent because they follow TV doctors advice. Ok sorry for the rant. I'm just sick of the arrogance. I love Jesus and I KNOW we are supposed to love these people, but its soooo hard. Uhg. I know I'm preaching to the choir here. Thank God for this site lol.

So what do you recommend?
I don't know enough about you to give you advice, all I can say is I don't spend time with people who belittle me and my values.
It's fine to disagree and even hearing constructive criticism from time to time in an effort to bring awareness to people about their shortcomings in an effort to help them grow stronger...that's fine too. I don't shy away from hearing about my shortcomings. I want to know where I fuck up and can do better. If I'm a bad listener I wouldn't be mad if a friend told me, "hey talk less and listen more"...but calling me names and belittling my value system out of a place of moral superiority?
AHAHAHAHA FUUUUUUCK NO. I got things to do, goals to accomplish. I don't have time to be someone's punching bag or narcissistic supply. Even a few life goals slowly accomplished would be time better spent than with a person who tears you down out of a sense of moral superiority.
That's me though. You do you. I just don't like to see people act like doormats. It gets on my nerves. I have young children and when their "friends" act up I tell them, "don't be a doormat. That person isn't your friend. Don't be so desperate for human attention and acceptance that you'll let people walk all over you or belittle you. Friends build each other up." etc. That doesn't mean you'll always agree, of course not, but that doesn't mean you let people insult you and keep going back like a dog to his own vomit.
I think this is a pretty reasonable assessment, and I agree with everything you said. I've been friends with this dude for years, and he is a top notch guy and has helped me out in tough spots before, which I won't get into specifics but he really does have a good heart if you know what I mean. He has just fallen for all the MSM propaganda. I feel bad for him honestly, but its one of those things you can't tell them, they have to see it/ experience it themselves to wake up. He doesn't know how I feel about Q or how I lean more conservative now because I don't really talk about it. He is the one who brings that stuff up so I just listen, I guess thats why I don't take it personally as an attack on me. I kind of like to get his opinion on things too because I don't really have a lot of liberal friends (not by choice just not alot of politically aligned friends). Its interesting to see how MSM shapes his worldview.
Thanks for the honesty. Sometimes, its good to get another perspective, and I'll take it into consideration the next time something like this comes up.
