At one point I walked outside to join others in the backyard and they were whispering about my husband and I being “Trump supporters.” They shut up when they saw me and I said, “Damn, that reminds me. I forgot my MAGA hat!”
My husband’s brother, who is hosting the wedding, got Covid last spring and he told me a half-hour story about his battle with it at the kitchen table last night, as if he were a mythological figure. He almost died, actually. Sick for a month.
And I just looked at him and told him his brother—my husband—got it and was able to go back to work in three days after I scored him Ivermectin. And I swear to God, the whole table had like a thick fog come over their eyes and there was just silence. And the mood was that me and my husband were some kind of crazy renegades.
Don’t you think they would have been thrilled for my husband? That he got well!? That he survived? Or interested in how we did it? No, they’re just willing to die. This family, guys, this family is more brainwashed than any group of people that I’ve come across. It’s almost palpable, it’s almost like I can see the thin veils over their heads. It’s just so fricking sad.
And the thing is, they’re so smug. They think they’re soooo right, and soooo smart and so much more enlightened. It’s just unbelievable. You can’t red-pill these people because whenever truth enters the room, they literally zone out. They become zombies.
I’ve never seen anything like it.
I can’t wait to get the hell out of here.
Quite frankly.
There is no longer any point of trying to red pill people who aren't ready to ask questions.
If they are brain washed. They are being that way to PROTECT their own mindset.
That's a natural defense to human beings.
You cannot defeat this defense. It's there for a reason.
In fact... people will become more interested in hearing what you have to say when you don't argue with them at all.
If they tell you a belief that is clearly stupid. Just look at them, smile and say ok.
That silent treatment is far more powerful then you think.
Higher intelligent people should not speak time arguing with those who are not informed.
I really wasn’t trying to red-pill. I know better with this group. It’s hopeless. But since we were at the table talking about Covid, I wanted to share what happened with my husband.
They could have cared less. They wear their Covid survival stories like a badge.
look into narcissism, its the same thing, talking to a narc and a dem is the same, they wait for you to finish talking so they can ignore what you just said
Just waiting for their turn to talk
So long as they already know at least some of what you believe? When the big stuff goes down they will know who to turn to. Perhaps the only person they can trust to have some clue what the hell is going on. That time WILL come. That's a lot of why I post so much info on FB - so that later on people will remember....and then we can talk. You know, when they aren't stark raving mad media zombies ;-)
There will come a time very soon when they wake up in horror as they face reality. At least they'll know you were speaking truth.
I expect to swallow many "I told you so's" as I patiently answer questions without judgement. Literally everyone in my family knows how I feel but chose to take the jab, and I pray there is a cure. It's horrifying to imagine seeing them perish one by one. I hope there is a cure to this poison.
oh, yes. And if they have a sister in law who works at the hospital, they have an extra star on the badge.
They have a relative who’s complicit in mass murder? Well aren’t they special!
Insufferable.
Right? Like if your cousin is a janitor at a nuclear plant, that make you Neils Bohr
Billy, PLEASE, can we not argue FoR OnCe! BILLY!
That's it, you told them they might not have been that heroic, they were ignorant of what to do.
Keep in mind. That stuff is just talk and feel good stuff. In the big picture of things. It won't mean much.
Sadly, I've had to adopt this strategy as well. My father began talking about getting a booster shot, and my brother and his family are all jabbed (wife and daughter are medical), so I took it upon myself to try to educate them about what the INDEPENDENT medical community is saying, with links and references. My brother is a retired Lieutenant Commander from NAVAL INTELLIGENCE no less (retired about 20 years ago, but he thinks he still knows everything about everything), and both he and my father basically ridiculed me and told me to stop.
I'm reminded by the parable of the donkey and tiger...
Yeah I don't really try to argue with family or friends about COVID. To each their own.
Because the real argument is simple.
Do we force people to take it or not.
If you are talking to family members about it. And they ask you.
For me..
I will tell my family and friends. If you FORCE it on everyone.
Then the BLOODSHED from it will be on you.
Most people understand those words.
No. These fuckers will try and send us to camps. They are going along with mandated injection papers. They will go along with worse.
Yep.
This is why I said to tell them. The bloodshed is on them.
They need to at least be aware of that.
Therein lies the worst problem. They want us in the camps, and they don't care who we are; sibling, parent, spouse, aunt, uncle, cousin. Along with all the other dark shit in my head, this is among the worst.
We unfortunately need to be prepared to walk away from every single person that wants us forcefully vaxx'd/dead. It can't matter if it's whomever you're married to, the people that created you, or the people that you created. You can't do shit if you're locked up or dead.

Thank you u/Iknowstuff for posting the story. I wasn't familiar with it but tell my husband this all the time. Love the illustration!
I also retired from the Navy 20 years ago, and what's more, from the Intelligence Community 4 years ago from my post-Navy career, and I can tell you rn that I dont know shit about what they have been doing since then - technology and collection priorities change that fast. Your Bro wants to stay in the loop, but he cannot (need to know, no more security clearance, no more access to programs).
I'm preparing myself for a possible inevitable confrontation with my brother, and what you said was actually part of my argument...in my head. He was so heavily indoctrinated with assumptions and beliefs about "who the good guys are" and "who the bad guys are," and questioning sources to the point he believes nothing...that the fact he has been out of the loop for so long isn't evidence enough for him that what he THOUGHT he once knew, no longer has relevance, and since he has no current sources, he might as well as be living under a rock.
I used to really look up to my older brother, but I've come to realize he is a prisoner of his own ego, and nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is. I hate saying that...
Thanks. I never heard the parable so I looked it up. I’ll remember it now!
parable
This. Arguing is a waste of energy. Acknowledging their mindset, and just accepting it for what it is is the key. The real red pills need to come from a higher power when the time is right.
It's easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been lied to.
I agree, leaning towards making sure they know where I stand but wait until they ask questions. They now need to take the first step.
Doesn't Q say that some flat out say they can't be saved?
