Your friends and family have ALWAYS been what they are now. But, for the sake of 'friendship' and familial ideals we are very good at glossing and avoiding.
I have two siblings that applauded the riots and orders for police to stand down. They had some kind of vague notion that this was justice, some how, for those with historic grievences. I pointed out that the rioters were destroying businesses and jobs of people who had nothing to do with anything other than simply trying to exist. They were unmoved.
They live in very nice homes in very nice neighborhoods and would be absolutely horrified if rioters came down their streets and the cops did nothing. But it was justice for it to happen to other people.
I have family member who are corrupt and evil. It's that simply. They call good evil and evil, good. They are lost, in every sense of the word. And, they love it that way. They are willingly lost. Slaves to darkness.
Multiple times Q has mentioned a future reunification after the reveal. For this reason I try not to burn bridges. But, sometimes you have to torch that sucker.
If this goes too much further, reproachment will be impossible. We might already be there. Hard to know. Some will burn down the world before they admit they got fooled.
The Bush family fooled me. When I discovered that I admitted it. Admitting you got fooled by world class criminals won't kill you. It might even save you.
This is an excellent post and as much as I hate to admit it, you're right.
"I have family member who are corrupt and evil."
Weakness allows evil to flourish. Weakness in the face of evil is its own kind of evil. None of my family members are lefttards save for my youngest brother (a whole other story), but none of them (except my son) have: -Refused to allow fear to cook their brains -Stood up loudly against a stolen election -Sensibly avoided an experimental "vaccination" for a disease that poses no statistical thread to them.
In varying degrees, they have all allowed evil to flourish. I try to be mindful of "hate the sin but love the sinner" in spite of their weakness.
I want to live in a world of truth, peace and liberty. Some people just want to live at any cost. When this is all over, reconciliation is going to be difficult for all of us.
