I had some really great friends who were amazing until the pandemic and vaccination rhetoric started.
They were oblivious to Biden’s issues/believed the Trump rhetoric, but were still good people.
I’ve now been ostracized from the group because I sourced material saying the vaccines aren’t as safe or effective as they were being told, and that ivermectin has more scientific backing than it just being “horse paste.” They are all incredibly intelligent, but they’ve fallen for the narrative and refuse to consider and other perspective.
Anyone have tips for dealing with this? You think we’ll be able to patch up these relationships when things really hit the fan?
Sometimes I regret researching and redpilling because my life has been so incredibly altered...
Get new friends. What you described happened to me. It sucks and it's almost like they died in my mind, but I flat out don't trust these people. It's better, for me at least, to not associate with them anymore.
I have no doubts they'd be the first to stab me in the back should shit get serious. Half of the garbage I saw them post on social media last year told me all I need to know. These people are basically brainwashed.
They obey what they see on television or hear on NPR. If you question anything they claim, packs of their hyena "friends" start flinging insults and label you a science denier. I can't even begin to imagine the shit they'd do if prices were put on our heads for a FEMA camp roundup or if it were known that the law would look the other way if the unvaxxed were attacked.
When this is all over, maybe you can make amends. People are all different. Maybe the people you know are different than the ones I know. I, personally, am done with former acquaintances that decided that liberty is worthless. From my point of view, they'd have been collaborators with tyranny in past wars. Moreover, it's been over a year now and I can't say I miss any of them.
